Gary & Shannon kick off Hour 3 with #SwampWatch, breaking down the latest political headlines from the looming SCOTUS ruling on President Trump’s power to fire the FTC Chair to Congress freezing Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s travel budget amid questions surrounding the narco-terrorist strike footage. They then dive into the rise of AI performers through the lens of Tilly Norwood, a story they covered long before today’s WSJ feature, and discuss whether audiences will swing back toward valuing authenticity and true human “star power.”
The conversation shifts to the growing backlash against iPads in schools, with parents arguing the devices create more distraction than education. The hour wraps with Shannon’s take on a bleak new holiday trend: gift requests for cash and bill-paying, and how today’s low-effort personalization options have made finding the perfect Christmas gift more complicated than ever.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
A M six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Shannon's actually out at so FI today getting ready for
tonight's Monday night football game. Chargers get to host the
Eagles tonight at so FAR.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
It's Philip Rivers' birthday. What a nice gift would that be?
Chargers win tonight have a chance to completely end any
sort of Chiefs potential playoff appearance whatsoever in Kansas City.
That would be something great. So a lot running on,
a lot of hanging on tonight. You know, this is
a The Chargers have the third toughest remaining schedule, So
(00:41):
this is the as Harbaugh calls it, the competitive season.
They've they've got to win these games to keep their
spot in the wild Card.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
The USC is going to face the TCU Horned Frogs
and the Valero Alamo Bowl coming up in San Antoio.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Case end of the month, everyone was talking about the
Ohio State Indiana game on Saturday being the big game
to watch. Indiana number two Ohio State number one. Indiana
hasn't beat Ohio State since like nineteen sixty seven or
something crazy like that, And I'm thinking, God, I wish
I cared about this game to sit down and watch it.
And then I remember that we had we had met
(01:16):
our new friend Andy Reesemeyer from KTLA now KFI, and
that he told us when we were at the pastathon
he went to Indiana University. He mentioned that his girlfriend,
I believe is a UCLA fans we found got a
root for them.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
But I thought, well, I.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Do have a new friend named Andy, and he went
to Indiana. I will watch that game. And I watched
that game. It was a great game, such a great
defensive effort by Indiana defense won that game. But I
mean Ohio State at the end had a chance to
win it, or at least I don't remember now so
long ago tie it.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
But the kicker, the Ohio State kicker missed, missed a
what it should have been A should have been not
I want to say easy field goal, but he should.
Oh boy, that's a lot on that kid's shoulders to
miss that field goal.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
I can't imagine what the pressure on some of those.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Oh I can't either. I wouldn't be able to take it.
I'd be one of those kickers that.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Went nuts's completely nuts. I've seen more kickers. I've seen
more kickers cry in person on the sideline than I've
seen men cry in my life, because.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
It's just it's a lot of pressure.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
It's just set men cry too. I've seen that.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
I have not made men.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
I have seen it. It's time.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
I meant, like in passing, like just seeing, like you just.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Walk by guys who are crying.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Now, I don't know, I'm.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Just saying it doesn't happen a lot. You don't see
guys not crying.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
It does not happen in nature very often.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
It doesn't. It doesn't.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
It's a time for one a politician, which means I'm
a cheat and a liar. And when I'm not kissing babies,
I'm stealing the lollipops we got.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
The real problem is that our leaders are dumb.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
The other side never so what.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
I'm not going anywhere, so that now you.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Train the squaw, I can imagine what can be and
be unburdened by what has been. You know, Americans have
always been gone at They're not stupid.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
A political flunder is when a politician actually tells the truth.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Why have the people voted for you werena swamp watch.
They're all counting.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
One of the big deals going on in DC today
happens to be in the Supreme Court. As a matter
of fact, one of the major cases before the Supreme
Court could change the the federal government and that the
powers specifically that are granted to the president. That issue
(03:41):
is the president's attempt to fire Rebecca Slaughter. She's a Democrat.
She's a member of the Federal Trade Commission. President Trump
has said that she her service is inconsistent with the
administration's priorities. She was just appointed a couple of years
ago to a seven year term, and he wants her
out out. The lower courts have already ruled that Rebecca
(04:04):
Slaughter being fired was illegal, since the federal law says
that a president can only remove a commissioner commissioner that is,
for inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance of office. Trump
and this was from a decision I think back in
the thirties, if I'm not mistaken, it was a unanimous
nine to nothing decision back then. In this case, Trump says,
(04:26):
this is unconstitutional, that a president has to have full
control over the leadership of these government bodies. Because the
president is the one who is setting policies and enforcing regulations.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
So that's one of these big things.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
We know that this make up the current Supreme Court
has been relatively favorable to President Trump. So based on
some of the arguments that were made this morning, the
expectation is that they looks like these nine justices will
go back on that decision from ninety years ago and
(05:02):
expand the president's ability to fireheads of agencies like that.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Congress is going to withhold Pete haig Seth's travel budget
until the Pentagon provides lawmakers with videos of the boat
strike gate. This has been quietly tucked into the final
draft of the Annual Defense Policy Bill, and it calls
for unedited video of strikes conducted against designated terrorist organizations
(05:29):
to the House and Senate Armed Services committees. And until then,
haig Seth doesn't get to take vacation. Well, no, you
know what I mean. The travel budget is all hemmed
up with this, with this bill. Haig Seth over the weekend,
would not say whether he would release the video. Of course,
if you haven't, if you haven't been paying attention, we're
(05:51):
talking about the September second strike on a boat that
the administration during deemed a terrorist boat because it's carrying,
to their word, large quantities of drugs. And there were
two survivors to the initial strike. The reports are there
clinging to the boat, and so they struck again and
they killed everybody on board. Some critics are calling me
(06:14):
a war crime that they went back for the survivors.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
So everyone wants to see the video and peg.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Pete Haig Seth over the weekend said that there's a
potential safety concern for troops in whether or not to
release the video. President Trump isa that he would have
no problem doing so the Pentagon, but of course Donald
Trump thinks that they have the ability or the right
to do any of these things. I think there'll be
people in his administration underneath him that think, well, it's
(06:42):
a little bit more nuanced than that.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
The other thing I found out over the weekend, just
in terms of Congress members of Congress who were briefed
on this by the admiral last week, that the time
element is also important. The time between the original strike
on this boat and then the second strike on the
boat was not seconds or minutes. It was well, I
(07:08):
mean it was minutes, but it was like forty five
minutes between the original strike and then the video that
shows these guys back on the boat or trying to
clinging to some of the wreckage, trying to upright what
was left of the boat.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
See, that's a problem if they're going to use the
defense or Pete haig Seth has used it as the
fog of war. If it's two minutes, there's quite literally
a fog of war. Yeah, it's forty five minutes.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
The fog is.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Cleared, and that's going to be I think the biggest
issue is now if I'm only going off of what
people in Congress have been leaking basically to the media,
so we don't know yet what the final unedited video
looks like. But if that allegation is correct, that brings
with it a whole new set of factors that I
(07:55):
think a lot of people hadn't could I hadn't thought
of it that way at all, So it could change
the way the opinions that people have about this.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
What is that Sorry, they're playing like a video, like
a hype video on the giant massive Oculus scoreboard, and
it's like a clip from the office. And I do
this every time somebody and this will happen for the
rest of my life. Plays a clip from the Office,
and I don't get it because I skipped that whole,
(08:27):
you know, massive piece of pulp culture that will exist forever.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
By not watching the show.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
It's okay, but.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
I mean, I'm sure it's lovely and funny as hell
and delightful. I just don't get it because I'm like
the one person that didn't watch The Office.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Sure it was great for you.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
We talked a couple of months ago about Tilly Norwood,
who is not a person. Tilling Norwood is an AI
actress built completely with artificial intelligence.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
You know, when I'm looking at Instagram, which I don't
do nearly as much as I used to, I assume
most of the things or the personalities or the things
that I'm seeing are not real or are AI, or
you know, are extremely filtered, or they are just not
(09:25):
real or they are just not real people or what
have you. Are we going to be wondering this for
the rest of our lives, what's real and what's not?
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Huh?
Speaker 2 (09:34):
I I do think so, I do think that there
is an aspect of that that we should all be Listen.
We got we got an email. You didn't read it,
but we got it. I saw it emil signature. Yes, yeah,
this is why I don't read our email. So dumb
I like it?
Speaker 4 (09:52):
I mean, well I don't.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
But nobody signature reads Who reads email?
Speaker 3 (09:59):
And then who reads an email signature.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
That's the part that doesn't make any sense to me.
But the idea that we as a corporation now are
touting the fact that everything that we produce will be
human made, human gen you know, it's guaranteed human or
whatever the term is. I think that's okay, and I
think that there's going to be a push towards that
in whatever you know, because there's so much there's so
(10:24):
much to be said about the great level or that
I think AI will be in terms of it will
make it easier to do so many jobs, but that
people don't want to see AI when it comes to
their art or their you know, storytelling or whatever.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
Term you want to use.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
I think it.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
We love it because it's important to us because us
being human gives us job security to a degree. So
we love anything where we can say look at we
are necessary.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
But I also think that people people who listen want
that they want to know that it.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Is so too.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
And I think we're all going to fall out of
love with this AI and what AI can do. And
I think we're definitely going to go back towards you know,
like when we were talking to the puppet people on Thursday.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Yeah, I really.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Do think that there is a need, and you're already
seeing it to some degree with the youth and them
shunning things that were once important to us. I think
that they're going to want real again. I think they're
going to move away from all this plastic surgery that
we are completely bombarded with on all our screens and
all our celebrities and all the things, whether it's you know,
(11:38):
looking like a Fox News Barbie or a member of
the Kardashian family. I think that we're going to see
the pendulum swing the other way to embracing everything that
is not perfect and everything that is real.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
And that's my hope.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Well, in this case, this this Tilly Norwood character that
was made was the idea of a Leen vander Velden.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
She said she shared her vision with chat GPT.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
She wanted to get a AI movie star. So she
types out this short description and all she wrote was
a stunning female celebrity with global appeal, symmetrical facial features, clear,
radiant skin, captivating green eyes, her.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Hair is no. No, what makes us star a star.
It makes us star is the.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Without sounding woo woo. There's no way to not sound
woo woo. But it's like someone's energy right there, charisma,
like the light inside people.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
That's what makes you a superstar.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
It's not what you look like on the surface, that's
what That's what they're missing. Well, you know when I
watched that crap movie last night that had Michelle Pfeiffer
in it, I watched it for Michelle Pfeiffer. That's the
only reason I stayed with that movie for an hour
and forty minutes is because she has that star quality,
that light, that that magneticism that superstars have where you
(13:04):
have to watch what they're doing. You don't get that
from just an AI beautiful imaginated person.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Imagine.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
No, No, I think that's we might want to adopt
that AI stuff is imaginated. But yeah, I mean this
is She's not going to appear in anything. There's a
lot of people in Hollywood that are really freaked out
about all of this because because there was so much
brain time spent on coming up with somebody who's not
(13:35):
real that.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
A lot of people are upset by the way.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
When we come back, though, parents say that these school
issued iPads have been causing chaos with their kids, and
the school districts are fighting the parents. This is never
a good idea if you were a school district.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
I'm interested in that.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Is it because it makes it easy? Why are the
school districts in favor of what could be the downfall
of society with these kids and these iPads?
Speaker 2 (14:07):
I think part of it is they believe that they
need to teach kids to be on top of technology.
But these the technology and iPads and these Google chromebooks
is so intuitive anyway, they make it too easy for you.
It's not like they're code. They're learning to code right
a touchscreen computer. They're just the consumer in this case. Yeah,
(14:31):
so we'll talk about that we come back.
Speaker 5 (14:34):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Are you following us on social media? If you're not,
you're missing out on a lot of prime content. Guess
give us a follow at Gary and Shannon. You may
have missed our puppetry video from Thursday, and if you
missed that, you missed a lot.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
That's I still see little baby Rudy in my dreams,
Baby Rudy.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
I got called out for maybe being too attached to
baby Rudy.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
One of our bosses in fact, is like, you really
like those puppets, didn't you?
Speaker 2 (15:10):
I could tell you really, you really had a broken childhood,
didn't check. Yeah, boy, you have a lot going on there,
don't you. There is a there is a push by
parents now to remove some of the requirements for electronics
(15:32):
in classrooms. Lilah Byock has started a parent coalition called
Schools Beyond Screens, which is organizing in WhatsApp groups. Petition
drives actions at school board meetings, demanding meetings with district
administrators trying to get them to pull back on the
school mandated screen times that exist.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Now.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
This comes as a result of course, of the school
issued iPads and chromebooks and all of that sort of thing,
which accelerated ridiculously during COVID because we told the kids
that they were all going to die if they went
to school and said the best way to do school
is now to sit in front of a screen. The
(16:13):
problem is there's a lot of people who notice that
their kids are not First of all, they're not learning
this by using iPads, et cetera. And they're playing on
their iPads. They're doing things that they're not supposed to
do here.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
They would do that they were told, oh lyad to
use it for educational purposes.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
I am I this has never made sense.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
I'm trying to pull up this article on my iPad, but.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
I am sidetracked by the playoff seating.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Do you see what I'm trying The point I'm trying
to emphasize.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
Oh, yes, the kids get distracted by Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
It's easy to get distract did by anything? Well, if
you're connected to the internet.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
And again that's the problem with this, you know, short
sighted idea. You're trying to you know, you're giving kids
a leg up when it comes to their technological wherewithal
their their ability to use technology. This stuff is so
easy to use you do not need to spend extra
time getting kids familiar with how to use an iPad.
(17:25):
I mean, if you've ever seen the most disturbing videos
of you know, eighteen month old babies flipping through maggaze,
trying to swipe a magazine, or trying to you know,
pinch and zoom there with their fingers on an actual
hard picture.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
That's disturbing kids.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Well, the reason that these things are so ubiquitous now
is because they're so easy to learn.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
We don't need to give kids more time.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Yeah, the idea that they are designed to give kids
a technological leg up is blooney for the reasons you
just outlined.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
So why do the school districts favor these? Is it easier?
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Well, it is easier if you have everybody turning in
homework electronically. You can you know, as a teacher, you
could be anywhere and see who has.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
You can have AI score it.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
You could I don't know, I don't know. I don't
know any teacher that does that. I'm sure there are
some that are out there. I don't know any teacher
that does that, but you could have him do that.
It's probably a bit easier for record keeping, just in
terms of, you know, keeping the kids on task, but
at the same time you're just giving them a whole
(18:40):
a freeway to distraction.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
One mother described how her six year old son had
repeatedly wet himself in class because he was fixated on
activities with his tablet. Did you ever get so into
something that you forewent going to the bathroom.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
Just about forty five minutes ago?
Speaker 3 (18:58):
As, Oh, really, do you like the show that much?
Speaker 4 (19:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (19:01):
It really draws you in.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Yep. Another moms that her teenage son had gotten sucked
into communicating with strangers online via popular websites and forums
at one point ran away from home with the school
is shued iPad.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Well, and again, this is one of those things I
think parents automatically assume, well, it's a school issued iPad,
it probably doesn't have the capability to do things like this,
or there's a.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Will, there's a way, and your kids are smart and
they know how to get around that crap.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
That's the I mean. They are creative little buggers and.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Curious little angels, if.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
That's one way also to put it.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
If one person is able to figure out a way
to jail break one of these computers, then everybody's going
to know within seconds. That's just the way that the
that's the way teenagers work. And when you think about
the irony of LA Unified, for example, that has banned
phones from campus is now for almost a year that
(20:02):
they're still allowing chromebooks and iPads, et cetera. Because they're
supposed to I don't know, they're supposed to be better
version of what the exact same thing a phone is.
The district leaves it up to individual schools to decide
whether they want students to take home their iPads or
chromebooks every day and how much time they spend on
them in class. But in some cases, these kids are
(20:26):
even using these tablets in music class in pe et cetera.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
That doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
No, well, unless they're using them to do no data entry. Yeah,
I guess yeah, you're you're putting in your number of
reps in some sort of digital worksheet or your your
mild time.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
I don't know. I don't know what is taught anymore.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
This is and I don't know any doctors, any pediatricians
that would encourage this at all. You know how many
times have we seen the the recommendations for kids with
iPads get pushed back. You know you're not you shouldn't
have your kid in front of a screen before the
age of two.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Well, it's a good thing. We're so perfect, I agree.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
You know, I spent a lot of time thinking about that.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Everyone should ask us what to do with their children,
because we've got uh the suirtfire away.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
If it's not an entire crapshoot from the beginning, oh my.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
God, no matter what, seriously it really is. And and
you know what, there's some U lets you off the hook,
a little bit, doesn't It should let you off the hook,
A little bit doesn't matter what you do.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Your kids are gonna do what they're gonna do.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
There was a line in last night's Landman where he
said his kids are grown, his job is done.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
No, I don't know if that's true.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
But we'll see a new holiday gift wish cash and
pay my bills please.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
This is awful. I don't like this at all.
Speaker 5 (22:17):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Motivational Monday comes up at the bottom of next hour.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
Something to get you ready for the week ahead.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
As we get closer through the holidays, of course, it's
going to be as stressful for a lot of people.
And the holiday season used to be about surprises and
good gift giving and sentimental gestures. But new survey five
thousand American reveals. Americans reveals that while cash tops most wishless,
(22:52):
one in five people would actually prefer having their bills
paid this year, not jewelry, not gadgets, not even the
cash that or after, just the relief to know that
someone else paid their bills for them.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
I mean, on one hand, that is practical, bills should
be paid first before any wants are met, right, But on.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
The other hand, where's your Christmas spirit? Where is the
spirit of the season.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Where's just doing nice things and doing good and maybe
not spending a lot of money, but spending a lot
of thought on people.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Where's all of that?
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Well? And I wonder if there is, We've just gotten
so far away from that, because so much of that
stuff you can just get yourself, you know. I mean,
you want, if you want a thing, if you if
you want outside of you know, Amazon, which is you
can have something delivered to your house within twenty four hours.
Basically you could go on Etsy or some other you know,
(23:49):
online marketplace and get some personalized thing. I want a
T shirt that says my name on it or whatever.
You can get that right away. There's no there's there's
no barrier to you know, whatever you think you want,
you can have it immediately.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
How many t shirts would you say that you have
at home right now that say Gary.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
I don't think I have any would have my name
on them.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
I feel like this is a gift idea.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
No I did.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
I did find a little plaque at Disneyland that had
the name Gary on it, but it made no sense
in what way. Well it it was above Ah, it
was above an electrical box. I don't know if I
don't know if that if they were using that as
a have.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
To and it just said Gary.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Yeah, I'll see if I can find it and send
it to you.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
It's just it's the weirdest.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
It's uh, well, to be specific, Disney's California Adventure. When
you're in line to Little Mermaid because I know how
to party. Uh, there's a up alongside the line there
you are behind some of the food booths, and on
one of the food booths there there was an electrical box.
And then above that is just a little it almost
(25:05):
looks like a name tag. I mean, it's that kind
of size. It's relatively small, and it just said Gary
on it.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
I wonder if there's a little troll that's named Gary
that's responsible for that electrical box.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
Don't you think that there's room for a.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Movie about Disneyland and about all the little trolls that
live underground and come out to do all the maintenance
the trolls and the fight between the Disney Princesses and
the trolls. Like the Disney princesses get all the credit
for everything, and then all the kids go there wanting
to meet the Disney princesses, but that.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
It's the little trolls that.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Live underground of the castle and underneath it's a small
world that do all the work around the park.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
You're getting deep into this thing, and I'm worried about you.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Oh I don't know how I got on that tangent.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
I don't either those Oh right, that Gary was made
be one of the little trolls that's responsible for that
electrical box.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Yeah, yeah, so I sent you that picture and again
you've got to zoom in a little bit.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
But ah, wait here you are in the picture. Well
you're trying to pretend that you're not taking a picture.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
That is odd. That is very odd because it just
says Gary on it.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Yeah, and I have friends who do scavenger hunts at
that you know, Disney. Yeah, and they find little quirky
little pieces.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Now what I bet Niels to Vagro I would be
able to get to the bottom of this about why
that's name because he's a Disney adult, and I bet
he would know. I think he knows all the intricracies
of you know, the Scavenger Hunt world and stuff.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
This shift towards practical.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Picture of you is so funny.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Can we post this?
Speaker 4 (26:46):
Sure? I'll give it to Matt.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
The shift toward practical gifts, they said, isn't just about preference,
It reflects genuine financial pressure. The same Americans who wish
someone would pay their bills are also planning to spend
an average of about eleven one hundred on gifts for
other people. Millennials about fourteen hundred dollars. Baby boomers average
about eight hundred and forty dollars. The majority of that
money goes to kids and to partners and other than that.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
I knew the game was fixed.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
They're already practicing their penalty calls.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
No, it's just the announcers testing the sound system before
you start all going all chemtrails on me. They're just
testing everything out here there were some great girls flag
football earlier, but I don't know.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
I remember one time.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
In high school we had like a I think it
was for homecoming juniors and seniors girls, and it was
supposed to be a flag football game at Powerpuff game.
He's something of that nature, and I tackled someone because.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
It's really hard to play flag football. If you watch
football like what you're supposed to just grab the flag?
How do you not tackle them?
Speaker 5 (28:06):
Like?
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Everything in your mind and body is like, take that
girl to the ground, finish that tackle.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
That's what was in my mind.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Yes see, we agree.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Oh my god, where did that come from? It's the
massive twelve o'clock hour. Massive, Holy hew man, a Monday.
Massive on a Monday.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
We'll do our trending stories, go through some of the
stuff that you got going on for tonight. Of course
for Monday Night Football Motivational Monday is coming around as well.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
Look out, av you've been listening to The Gary and
Shannon Show.

Shannon's actually out at so FI today getting ready for
tonight's Monday night football game. Chargers get to host the
Eagles tonight at so FAR.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
It's Philip Rivers' birthday. What a nice gift would that be?
Chargers win tonight have a chance to completely end any
sort of Chiefs potential playoff appearance whatsoever in Kansas City.
That would be something great. So a lot running on,
a lot of hanging on tonight. You know, this is
a The Chargers have the third toughest remaining schedule, So
(00:41):
this is the as Harbaugh calls it, the competitive season.
They've they've got to win these games to keep their
spot in the wild Card.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
The USC is going to face the TCU Horned Frogs
and the Valero Alamo Bowl coming up in San Antoio.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Case end of the month, everyone was talking about the
Ohio State Indiana game on Saturday being the big game
to watch. Indiana number two Ohio State number one. Indiana
hasn't beat Ohio State since like nineteen sixty seven or
something crazy like that, And I'm thinking, God, I wish
I cared about this game to sit down and watch it.
And then I remember that we had we had met
(01:16):
our new friend Andy Reesemeyer from KTLA now KFI, and
that he told us when we were at the pastathon
he went to Indiana University. He mentioned that his girlfriend,
I believe is a UCLA fans we found got a
root for them.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
But I thought, well, I.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Do have a new friend named Andy, and he went
to Indiana. I will watch that game. And I watched
that game. It was a great game, such a great
defensive effort by Indiana defense won that game. But I
mean Ohio State at the end had a chance to
win it, or at least I don't remember now so
long ago tie it.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
But the kicker, the Ohio State kicker missed, missed a
what it should have been A should have been not
I want to say easy field goal, but he should.
Oh boy, that's a lot on that kid's shoulders to
miss that field goal.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
I can't imagine what the pressure on some of those.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Oh I can't either. I wouldn't be able to take it.
I'd be one of those kickers that.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Went nuts's completely nuts. I've seen more kickers. I've seen
more kickers cry in person on the sideline than I've
seen men cry in my life, because.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
It's just it's a lot of pressure.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
It's just set men cry too. I've seen that.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
I have not made men.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
I have seen it. It's time.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
I meant, like in passing, like just seeing, like you just.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Walk by guys who are crying.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Now, I don't know, I'm.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Just saying it doesn't happen a lot. You don't see
guys not crying.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
It does not happen in nature very often.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
It doesn't. It doesn't.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
It's a time for one a politician, which means I'm
a cheat and a liar. And when I'm not kissing babies,
I'm stealing the lollipops we got.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
The real problem is that our leaders are dumb.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
The other side never so what.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
I'm not going anywhere, so that now you.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Train the squaw, I can imagine what can be and
be unburdened by what has been. You know, Americans have
always been gone at They're not stupid.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
A political flunder is when a politician actually tells the truth.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Why have the people voted for you werena swamp watch.
They're all counting.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
One of the big deals going on in DC today
happens to be in the Supreme Court. As a matter
of fact, one of the major cases before the Supreme
Court could change the the federal government and that the
powers specifically that are granted to the president. That issue
(03:41):
is the president's attempt to fire Rebecca Slaughter. She's a Democrat.
She's a member of the Federal Trade Commission. President Trump
has said that she her service is inconsistent with the
administration's priorities. She was just appointed a couple of years
ago to a seven year term, and he wants her
out out. The lower courts have already ruled that Rebecca
(04:04):
Slaughter being fired was illegal, since the federal law says
that a president can only remove a commissioner commissioner that is,
for inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance of office. Trump
and this was from a decision I think back in
the thirties, if I'm not mistaken, it was a unanimous
nine to nothing decision back then. In this case, Trump says,
(04:26):
this is unconstitutional, that a president has to have full
control over the leadership of these government bodies. Because the
president is the one who is setting policies and enforcing regulations.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
So that's one of these big things.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
We know that this make up the current Supreme Court
has been relatively favorable to President Trump. So based on
some of the arguments that were made this morning, the
expectation is that they looks like these nine justices will
go back on that decision from ninety years ago and
(05:02):
expand the president's ability to fireheads of agencies like that.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Congress is going to withhold Pete haig Seth's travel budget
until the Pentagon provides lawmakers with videos of the boat
strike gate. This has been quietly tucked into the final
draft of the Annual Defense Policy Bill, and it calls
for unedited video of strikes conducted against designated terrorist organizations
(05:29):
to the House and Senate Armed Services committees. And until then,
haig Seth doesn't get to take vacation. Well, no, you
know what I mean. The travel budget is all hemmed
up with this, with this bill. Haig Seth over the weekend,
would not say whether he would release the video. Of course,
if you haven't, if you haven't been paying attention, we're
(05:51):
talking about the September second strike on a boat that
the administration during deemed a terrorist boat because it's carrying,
to their word, large quantities of drugs. And there were
two survivors to the initial strike. The reports are there
clinging to the boat, and so they struck again and
they killed everybody on board. Some critics are calling me
(06:14):
a war crime that they went back for the survivors.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
So everyone wants to see the video and peg.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Pete Haig Seth over the weekend said that there's a
potential safety concern for troops in whether or not to
release the video. President Trump isa that he would have
no problem doing so the Pentagon, but of course Donald
Trump thinks that they have the ability or the right
to do any of these things. I think there'll be
people in his administration underneath him that think, well, it's
(06:42):
a little bit more nuanced than that.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
The other thing I found out over the weekend, just
in terms of Congress members of Congress who were briefed
on this by the admiral last week, that the time
element is also important. The time between the original strike
on this boat and then the second strike on the
boat was not seconds or minutes. It was well, I
(07:08):
mean it was minutes, but it was like forty five
minutes between the original strike and then the video that
shows these guys back on the boat or trying to
clinging to some of the wreckage, trying to upright what
was left of the boat.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
See, that's a problem if they're going to use the
defense or Pete haig Seth has used it as the
fog of war. If it's two minutes, there's quite literally
a fog of war. Yeah, it's forty five minutes.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
The fog is.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Cleared, and that's going to be I think the biggest
issue is now if I'm only going off of what
people in Congress have been leaking basically to the media,
so we don't know yet what the final unedited video
looks like. But if that allegation is correct, that brings
with it a whole new set of factors that I
(07:55):
think a lot of people hadn't could I hadn't thought
of it that way at all, So it could change
the way the opinions that people have about this.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
What is that Sorry, they're playing like a video, like
a hype video on the giant massive Oculus scoreboard, and
it's like a clip from the office. And I do
this every time somebody and this will happen for the
rest of my life. Plays a clip from the Office,
and I don't get it because I skipped that whole,
(08:27):
you know, massive piece of pulp culture that will exist forever.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
By not watching the show.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
It's okay, but.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
I mean, I'm sure it's lovely and funny as hell
and delightful. I just don't get it because I'm like
the one person that didn't watch The Office.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Sure it was great for you.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
We talked a couple of months ago about Tilly Norwood,
who is not a person. Tilling Norwood is an AI
actress built completely with artificial intelligence.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
You know, when I'm looking at Instagram, which I don't
do nearly as much as I used to, I assume
most of the things or the personalities or the things
that I'm seeing are not real or are AI, or
you know, are extremely filtered, or they are just not
(09:25):
real or they are just not real people or what
have you. Are we going to be wondering this for
the rest of our lives, what's real and what's not?
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Huh?
Speaker 2 (09:34):
I I do think so, I do think that there
is an aspect of that that we should all be Listen.
We got we got an email. You didn't read it,
but we got it. I saw it emil signature. Yes, yeah,
this is why I don't read our email. So dumb
I like it?
Speaker 4 (09:52):
I mean, well I don't.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
But nobody signature reads Who reads email?
Speaker 3 (09:59):
And then who reads an email signature.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
That's the part that doesn't make any sense to me.
But the idea that we as a corporation now are
touting the fact that everything that we produce will be
human made, human gen you know, it's guaranteed human or
whatever the term is. I think that's okay, and I
think that there's going to be a push towards that
in whatever you know, because there's so much there's so
(10:24):
much to be said about the great level or that
I think AI will be in terms of it will
make it easier to do so many jobs, but that
people don't want to see AI when it comes to
their art or their you know, storytelling or whatever.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
Term you want to use.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
I think it.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
We love it because it's important to us because us
being human gives us job security to a degree. So
we love anything where we can say look at we
are necessary.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
But I also think that people people who listen want
that they want to know that it.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Is so too.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
And I think we're all going to fall out of
love with this AI and what AI can do. And
I think we're definitely going to go back towards you know,
like when we were talking to the puppet people on Thursday.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Yeah, I really.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Do think that there is a need, and you're already
seeing it to some degree with the youth and them
shunning things that were once important to us. I think
that they're going to want real again. I think they're
going to move away from all this plastic surgery that
we are completely bombarded with on all our screens and
all our celebrities and all the things, whether it's you know,
(11:38):
looking like a Fox News Barbie or a member of
the Kardashian family. I think that we're going to see
the pendulum swing the other way to embracing everything that
is not perfect and everything that is real.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
And that's my hope.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Well, in this case, this this Tilly Norwood character that
was made was the idea of a Leen vander Velden.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
She said she shared her vision with chat GPT.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
She wanted to get a AI movie star. So she
types out this short description and all she wrote was
a stunning female celebrity with global appeal, symmetrical facial features, clear,
radiant skin, captivating green eyes, her.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Hair is no. No, what makes us star a star.
It makes us star is the.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Without sounding woo woo. There's no way to not sound
woo woo. But it's like someone's energy right there, charisma,
like the light inside people.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
That's what makes you a superstar.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
It's not what you look like on the surface, that's
what That's what they're missing. Well, you know when I
watched that crap movie last night that had Michelle Pfeiffer
in it, I watched it for Michelle Pfeiffer. That's the
only reason I stayed with that movie for an hour
and forty minutes is because she has that star quality,
that light, that that magneticism that superstars have where you
(13:04):
have to watch what they're doing. You don't get that
from just an AI beautiful imaginated person.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Imagine.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
No, No, I think that's we might want to adopt
that AI stuff is imaginated. But yeah, I mean this
is She's not going to appear in anything. There's a
lot of people in Hollywood that are really freaked out
about all of this because because there was so much
brain time spent on coming up with somebody who's not
(13:35):
real that.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
A lot of people are upset by the way.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
When we come back, though, parents say that these school
issued iPads have been causing chaos with their kids, and
the school districts are fighting the parents. This is never
a good idea if you were a school district.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
I'm interested in that.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Is it because it makes it easy? Why are the
school districts in favor of what could be the downfall
of society with these kids and these iPads?
Speaker 2 (14:07):
I think part of it is they believe that they
need to teach kids to be on top of technology.
But these the technology and iPads and these Google chromebooks
is so intuitive anyway, they make it too easy for you.
It's not like they're code. They're learning to code right
a touchscreen computer. They're just the consumer in this case. Yeah,
(14:31):
so we'll talk about that we come back.
Speaker 5 (14:34):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Are you following us on social media? If you're not,
you're missing out on a lot of prime content. Guess
give us a follow at Gary and Shannon. You may
have missed our puppetry video from Thursday, and if you
missed that, you missed a lot.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
That's I still see little baby Rudy in my dreams,
Baby Rudy.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
I got called out for maybe being too attached to
baby Rudy.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
One of our bosses in fact, is like, you really
like those puppets, didn't you?
Speaker 2 (15:10):
I could tell you really, you really had a broken childhood,
didn't check. Yeah, boy, you have a lot going on there,
don't you. There is a there is a push by
parents now to remove some of the requirements for electronics
(15:32):
in classrooms. Lilah Byock has started a parent coalition called
Schools Beyond Screens, which is organizing in WhatsApp groups. Petition
drives actions at school board meetings, demanding meetings with district
administrators trying to get them to pull back on the
school mandated screen times that exist.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Now.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
This comes as a result of course, of the school
issued iPads and chromebooks and all of that sort of thing,
which accelerated ridiculously during COVID because we told the kids
that they were all going to die if they went
to school and said the best way to do school
is now to sit in front of a screen. The
(16:13):
problem is there's a lot of people who notice that
their kids are not First of all, they're not learning
this by using iPads, et cetera. And they're playing on
their iPads. They're doing things that they're not supposed to
do here.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
They would do that they were told, oh lyad to
use it for educational purposes.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
I am I this has never made sense.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
I'm trying to pull up this article on my iPad, but.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
I am sidetracked by the playoff seating.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Do you see what I'm trying The point I'm trying
to emphasize.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
Oh, yes, the kids get distracted by Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
It's easy to get distract did by anything? Well, if
you're connected to the internet.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
And again that's the problem with this, you know, short
sighted idea. You're trying to you know, you're giving kids
a leg up when it comes to their technological wherewithal
their their ability to use technology. This stuff is so
easy to use you do not need to spend extra
time getting kids familiar with how to use an iPad.
(17:25):
I mean, if you've ever seen the most disturbing videos
of you know, eighteen month old babies flipping through maggaze,
trying to swipe a magazine, or trying to you know,
pinch and zoom there with their fingers on an actual
hard picture.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
That's disturbing kids.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Well, the reason that these things are so ubiquitous now
is because they're so easy to learn.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
We don't need to give kids more time.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Yeah, the idea that they are designed to give kids
a technological leg up is blooney for the reasons you
just outlined.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
So why do the school districts favor these? Is it easier?
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Well, it is easier if you have everybody turning in
homework electronically. You can you know, as a teacher, you
could be anywhere and see who has.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
You can have AI score it.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
You could I don't know, I don't know. I don't
know any teacher that does that. I'm sure there are
some that are out there. I don't know any teacher
that does that, but you could have him do that.
It's probably a bit easier for record keeping, just in
terms of, you know, keeping the kids on task, but
at the same time you're just giving them a whole
(18:40):
a freeway to distraction.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
One mother described how her six year old son had
repeatedly wet himself in class because he was fixated on
activities with his tablet. Did you ever get so into
something that you forewent going to the bathroom.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
Just about forty five minutes ago?
Speaker 3 (18:58):
As, Oh, really, do you like the show that much?
Speaker 4 (19:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (19:01):
It really draws you in.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Yep. Another moms that her teenage son had gotten sucked
into communicating with strangers online via popular websites and forums
at one point ran away from home with the school
is shued iPad.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Well, and again, this is one of those things I
think parents automatically assume, well, it's a school issued iPad,
it probably doesn't have the capability to do things like this,
or there's a.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Will, there's a way, and your kids are smart and
they know how to get around that crap.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
That's the I mean. They are creative little buggers and.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Curious little angels, if.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
That's one way also to put it.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
If one person is able to figure out a way
to jail break one of these computers, then everybody's going
to know within seconds. That's just the way that the
that's the way teenagers work. And when you think about
the irony of LA Unified, for example, that has banned
phones from campus is now for almost a year that
(20:02):
they're still allowing chromebooks and iPads, et cetera. Because they're
supposed to I don't know, they're supposed to be better
version of what the exact same thing a phone is.
The district leaves it up to individual schools to decide
whether they want students to take home their iPads or
chromebooks every day and how much time they spend on
them in class. But in some cases, these kids are
(20:26):
even using these tablets in music class in pe et cetera.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
That doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
No, well, unless they're using them to do no data entry. Yeah,
I guess yeah, you're you're putting in your number of
reps in some sort of digital worksheet or your your
mild time.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
I don't know. I don't know what is taught anymore.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
This is and I don't know any doctors, any pediatricians
that would encourage this at all. You know how many
times have we seen the the recommendations for kids with
iPads get pushed back. You know you're not you shouldn't
have your kid in front of a screen before the
age of two.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Well, it's a good thing. We're so perfect, I agree.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
You know, I spent a lot of time thinking about that.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Everyone should ask us what to do with their children,
because we've got uh the suirtfire away.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
If it's not an entire crapshoot from the beginning, oh my.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
God, no matter what, seriously it really is. And and
you know what, there's some U lets you off the hook,
a little bit, doesn't It should let you off the hook,
A little bit doesn't matter what you do.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Your kids are gonna do what they're gonna do.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
There was a line in last night's Landman where he
said his kids are grown, his job is done.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
No, I don't know if that's true.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
But we'll see a new holiday gift wish cash and
pay my bills please.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
This is awful. I don't like this at all.
Speaker 5 (22:17):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Motivational Monday comes up at the bottom of next hour.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
Something to get you ready for the week ahead.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
As we get closer through the holidays, of course, it's
going to be as stressful for a lot of people.
And the holiday season used to be about surprises and
good gift giving and sentimental gestures. But new survey five
thousand American reveals. Americans reveals that while cash tops most wishless,
(22:52):
one in five people would actually prefer having their bills
paid this year, not jewelry, not gadgets, not even the
cash that or after, just the relief to know that
someone else paid their bills for them.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
I mean, on one hand, that is practical, bills should
be paid first before any wants are met, right, But on.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
The other hand, where's your Christmas spirit? Where is the
spirit of the season.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Where's just doing nice things and doing good and maybe
not spending a lot of money, but spending a lot
of thought on people.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Where's all of that?
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Well? And I wonder if there is, We've just gotten
so far away from that, because so much of that
stuff you can just get yourself, you know. I mean,
you want, if you want a thing, if you if
you want outside of you know, Amazon, which is you
can have something delivered to your house within twenty four hours.
Basically you could go on Etsy or some other you know,
(23:49):
online marketplace and get some personalized thing. I want a
T shirt that says my name on it or whatever.
You can get that right away. There's no there's there's
no barrier to you know, whatever you think you want,
you can have it immediately.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
How many t shirts would you say that you have
at home right now that say Gary.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
I don't think I have any would have my name
on them.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
I feel like this is a gift idea.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
No I did.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
I did find a little plaque at Disneyland that had
the name Gary on it, but it made no sense
in what way. Well it it was above Ah, it
was above an electrical box. I don't know if I
don't know if that if they were using that as
a have.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
To and it just said Gary.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Yeah, I'll see if I can find it and send
it to you.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
It's just it's the weirdest.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
It's uh, well, to be specific, Disney's California Adventure. When
you're in line to Little Mermaid because I know how
to party. Uh, there's a up alongside the line there
you are behind some of the food booths, and on
one of the food booths there there was an electrical box.
And then above that is just a little it almost
(25:05):
looks like a name tag. I mean, it's that kind
of size. It's relatively small, and it just said Gary
on it.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
I wonder if there's a little troll that's named Gary
that's responsible for that electrical box.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
Don't you think that there's room for a.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Movie about Disneyland and about all the little trolls that
live underground and come out to do all the maintenance
the trolls and the fight between the Disney Princesses and
the trolls. Like the Disney princesses get all the credit
for everything, and then all the kids go there wanting
to meet the Disney princesses, but that.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
It's the little trolls that.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Live underground of the castle and underneath it's a small
world that do all the work around the park.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
You're getting deep into this thing, and I'm worried about you.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Oh I don't know how I got on that tangent.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
I don't either those Oh right, that Gary was made
be one of the little trolls that's responsible for that
electrical box.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Yeah, yeah, so I sent you that picture and again
you've got to zoom in a little bit.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
But ah, wait here you are in the picture. Well
you're trying to pretend that you're not taking a picture.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
That is odd. That is very odd because it just
says Gary on it.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Yeah, and I have friends who do scavenger hunts at
that you know, Disney. Yeah, and they find little quirky
little pieces.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Now what I bet Niels to Vagro I would be
able to get to the bottom of this about why
that's name because he's a Disney adult, and I bet
he would know. I think he knows all the intricracies
of you know, the Scavenger Hunt world and stuff.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
This shift towards practical.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Picture of you is so funny.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Can we post this?
Speaker 4 (26:46):
Sure? I'll give it to Matt.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
The shift toward practical gifts, they said, isn't just about preference,
It reflects genuine financial pressure. The same Americans who wish
someone would pay their bills are also planning to spend
an average of about eleven one hundred on gifts for
other people. Millennials about fourteen hundred dollars. Baby boomers average
about eight hundred and forty dollars. The majority of that
money goes to kids and to partners and other than that.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
I knew the game was fixed.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
They're already practicing their penalty calls.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
No, it's just the announcers testing the sound system before
you start all going all chemtrails on me. They're just
testing everything out here there were some great girls flag
football earlier, but I don't know.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
I remember one time.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
In high school we had like a I think it
was for homecoming juniors and seniors girls, and it was
supposed to be a flag football game at Powerpuff game.
He's something of that nature, and I tackled someone because.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
It's really hard to play flag football. If you watch
football like what you're supposed to just grab the flag?
How do you not tackle them?
Speaker 5 (28:06):
Like?
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Everything in your mind and body is like, take that
girl to the ground, finish that tackle.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
That's what was in my mind.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Yes see, we agree.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Oh my god, where did that come from? It's the
massive twelve o'clock hour. Massive, Holy hew man, a Monday.
Massive on a Monday.
Speaker 2 (28:31):

stuff that you got going on for tonight. Of course
