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.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
The Court of Cessation, which is a basically supreme court
in the country of Turkey, has found that a man
in Turkey undermined marital trust by repeatedly liking other women's
photos online, and that his wife was legally allowed to
(00:31):
file for divorce because this guy was giving a thumbs.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Up to these thirst traps on life? Now?
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Is there a way to see what people are liking
or who people are liking? I sound like this guy's grandmother,
but I just don't know, Like, if I was to
look up your profile, yes, would I be able to
see what you have liked?
Speaker 3 (00:55):
I don't know how I would do that, right, I
don't think so.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
But if you looked at one of my posts, you
could see who liked it.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
That's true, But you've done nothing wrong there. What do
you mean, well, I thought that this court ruled that
he was the husband and this thing was liking all
of these scantily clad women's posts. How were they able
to find out what he was? Who his wife found out?
How did she find out that he was liking.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
All those things somehow, I don't know. It sounds like
they need hobbies.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
She accused her husband of belittling or failing to provide
financial support, reaching his duty of loyalty by interacting with
other week's posts.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
I was watching land Man, which is a great show.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Yes, land Man, we can all agree, and Allie Larder,
who looks incredible. She got on Billy Bob Thornton and
I know these aren't their names in the show, but
for saying to his I don't want to say nemesis
nor business partner, because he is a little bit of both.
Andy Garcia's wife like I like your wife, or I
(01:59):
like the way your wife looks.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
I forget what he said, and Ali lost her mind.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
She was like, what do you mean you like his
wife or he liked meeting his wife, And it was
just like that was the old school way of getting
mad at someone for liking a post on Instagram. Sure,
this is the new way to get mad Landman showcase.
The old way that maybe your mom got mad at
your dad. But the new way is when you find
out your boyfriend is liking hot girl's pictures on Instagram.
(02:27):
And how upset should you be in Landman, it looks
ridiculous when she gets upset with him for.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
That, right, because he was just complimenting, right, this nice couples.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Right, it looked ridiculous. But it's just as ridiculous if.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
You're getting mad at your boyfriend for liking someone's posts
on Instagram.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Right.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
No, No, I don't want my wife liking some shirtless
photo of some guy in his rawest form on Instagram.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
What if it was you?
Speaker 2 (02:58):
If you want your husband like spending time like going
through I know that he you know I'm not saying
that she.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
You know that your wife if she saw a picture
of Bradley Cooper without his shirt on and just those
beautiful blues looking at her, that she would in her
head like that picture.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
She'd be like, oh, he looks good. There's very different.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
That's very different than expressing it the outwardly public.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
I see, I see, okay, I see yeah, Because you
can't say, like one of my favorite what.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
If they're not naked? What if it's a mister Bradley
Cooper in a blue shirt? So you would be you
would not like her liking that?
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Well, my question would be why would you do that
what's the what's the point of liking a picture of
somebody that you don't know on Instagram other than show
before you like pictures? But you're doing it to show
other people what kind of pictures you like?
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Are you though? Because I don't know what your wife likes?
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Why?
Speaker 2 (03:56):
I wouldn't know? Why do they attach a name to
the like when you put a thumb up.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Who's diving into people's likes to find out who's liking that?
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Well, No, that's a different issue. You're talking about the
idea of trust versus not t trusting.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Life liking things. You wouldn't know what she has liked.
You're right, I have no idea what she has liked
on Instagram. Right, But in the event that I found
out that she had a lot of likes of Bradley
Cooper's pictures, she might.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
I'd be like, what are you doing? Why? What is
the What is the benefit of that for you? It's
just showing affirmation that you like a picture to whom
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I think Bradley Cooper is going to go down the
list and be like, oh, oh good things, she likes
my picture.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Maybe I'll slip into those d ms. I mean she's
probably liked pictures of men on Instagram.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Fine, Okay, I mean I don't know how to prove
one way or the other that she has What.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
If she doesn't like him for his eyes? What if
she likes him the rolls efforts for the rule fan?
Speaker 3 (05:00):
No, was he there? I don't know. I mean you
wouldn't are you liking? Okay, go ahead on mine. I
fully agree with Gary oh Man. Okay.
Speaker 6 (05:12):
It's just I mean, when you liking something assistently, I
feel you're just fangirling at that point, you know, and like,
why would you put a fangirling like.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
You can have a husband and still be a fan
of somebody of the opposite sexn't, can't you?
Speaker 6 (05:28):
But depends on what the pictures are, you know, if
it's Bradley Cooper without a shirt versus Bradley Cooper and
like a car commercial.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
You know, what's the difference of us having.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Jim Harbaugh in studio and me being like, oh my god,
I'm such a big fan.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
I've liked pictures of Jim Harbaugh. Yeah, you're talking about
this very different.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
You're talking about admirant admiring somebody like you admire Jim.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
But it comes in the form of liking on socials.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Also, it's a worthless it's a completely it's a worthless
it's a it's a worthless action on your part to
like a video.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
So is the hypothetical of your wife liking Matthew McConaughey
picture Bradley Cooper's there's a sex. Let's take away the
shirt the shirtless thing. Let's just say it's a picture
of Bradley Cooper.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Again, you can't use him as the example.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Okay, there's your wife out of the hypothetical too. Then
let's say it's a different couple, just a random couple,
and the wife is liking pictures of Eddie Murphy.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
It's Larry and Sharon, Larry and Sharon, okay, and Sharon
has been liking these Eddie Murphy pictures, which, again, Eddie.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Murphy's fully clothed. That's a problem. Again, you're taking out
the sexual aspect of it.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
This guy is talking about this guy in Turkey specific
we're talking about thirst tracks.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
You're talking about of women on line not wearing clothes,
and there are women wearing clothes.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Not okay, So, but you're making my argument.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
So you might look at a picture on Instagram and
be like, oh, it's a sex picture. I look at
it and think that's just a girl on a Wednesday
in Instagram.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
And here, I think is part of the fundamental difference.
Dude see that differently than women do. You could listen
You're talking about looking at a picture of Bradley Cooper
and going, I like his philanthropic work.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
I Matt, I don't know what that is. I don't
even know if it does any.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
I'm just saying, but if I see a woman, if
I see an actress right in a in a tight
form fitting dress on Instagram, something like that, Sidney Sweeney
as as an example, because it's current, put it out
of those I've done, not that.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
I've seen him. There's a sexual aspect to it that
women don't see.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Guys are driven by sexualizing Sidney Sweeney just because you
can see the shape of her breasts.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Yes, yes, dudes, so we're just supposed to hide them all.
I'm just saying, I do my Devil's advocate, you, guys.
That's the way that dudes see that.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
But and that this woman in Turkey is acknowledging the
fact that that's her husband is a horn dog and
he's doing it online.
Speaker 7 (08:22):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
I don't. I think that this is an overreaction to
there are.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
It can be, but also it could be an indicator
that there's something wrong in the relationship.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
I'm not saying there's nothing wrong in their relationship.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
If you're spending all your time liking pictures of other girls,
that's probably a problem.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
But this isn't a court of law. Yeah, just determining
whether or not she has ground round for a divorce
like that's it's I mean, I don't know. Listen, I
would be, I would be, I would be. I gotta
stup liking all those Jim Harbaugh pictures. Let's get in here.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
You're doing it wrong. You're doing it wrong. I like
those steal couple cleats out of that locker room to
take a home.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Go to it weird.
Speaker 7 (09:16):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
This is what's happening on December twenty sixth, Right, everybody,
put your time machines on, and it's time for our
Gas Fantasy for Play, where Elmer chooses four games that
are coming up this weekend and we will see if
we can pick all four games winners, we.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Get Saturday and Sunday games this weekend.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
F y I oh, okay, great do we Elmer's looking
with big eyes. He's not quite sure, you know.
Speaker 6 (09:47):
With all the ones on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Okay, right, all right, that's good.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
But but we will have games tomorrow to watch at
least as we prepare for what's coming up on Sunday.
And then of course one more Monday Night game. I
think this is the last week of Monday night games
coming up in a couple of days.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
All right, what's our first game outre?
Speaker 6 (10:07):
The first game is Pittsburgh Steelers versus to Cleveland Brown's.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Ooh, this is a fight for the bottom and the
base at the top in the basement, i should say,
of the AFC North Steelers lead the division at nine
and six, the Browns in the basement at.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Three and twelve.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
What's your We have not yet talked at all about
Shador Sanders as the quarterback for the Browns.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Do you think I think that nobody wants to compliment him.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
His head coach doesn't want to compliment him, which makes
me be a Sanders fan.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
I was just gonna say, I think a lot of
people want to crap on him because of his dad,
because of arrogance, because of all of these things that
he brings to it.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
What he's done pretty well. Yeah, concerning what he's working with,
he's done pretty well.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
I haven't paid attention a lot. I paid attention to
the game after I think his debut, and he was great.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
He's a rookie quarterback and the expectation is anyway, So exactly,
I take Aaron Rodgers time. I'm letting the Steelers in that.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
I think the I my rule of never pick against
Mike Tomlin has to come into play, so I'm going
to take the Steelers as well.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Elmer, who do you choose in that one?
Speaker 6 (11:09):
I'm going with the Browns?
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Okay, why.
Speaker 6 (11:13):
Don't I picked it before you guys picked yours? So
but not hearing you why you picked yours? I feel
like I'm gonna lose it.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Just spoke to you, yep, spoke okay, Richie, what speaks
to you.
Speaker 8 (11:22):
I'm going to go with the Cleveland Browns only because
I went to Cleveland High School.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
So oh, it just makes sense. I love that. It
makes perfect sense. All right, Elmer, what's our second game?
Speaker 7 (11:32):
Okay?
Speaker 6 (11:33):
Number two is going to be the Philadelphia Eagles versus
the Buffalo.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Bill This is gonna be afternoon game in Buffalo, so
it's going to be cold. They're both fine, They're both
cold render teams. Both are playing for something.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
The Eagles, Uh, it looks like the Eagles will.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Have the NFC East wrapped up.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
The Bills, on the other hand, they want to challenge
the Patriots for the title of the AFC East one
game back from the Patriots. It's there where did you
say this was in Buffalo? In Buffalo? I like the
Bills in this one.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
I feel like the.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Eagles have not been as good as they should even
at ten and five. Are correct, man, but I I
think I'm going to take the Eagles in this one. Uh,
just a total gut feeling, no other reason. Elmer, what
do you think? Philadelphia Buffalo?
Speaker 6 (12:25):
I'm going with Bills because it's upstate New York and
I know a lot of Bills fans.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
I like the Labatt beer also a strong choice. Richie
also going to go with the Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
I mean, cold, win, loud crowd. I mean I think
they got this. Yeah, I love nailed all that, all right,
Richie's going to be at ESPN next week. What's our
What's our third game? Elmer?
Speaker 6 (12:46):
Third game is the New York Giants versus to.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Bas I love how you pick what garbage games just
because it's the Giants, Like this is a second week.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
He just picks the Giants because there there garbage. It's
garbage on garbage. Both of these teams are two and
thirteen Giants. This is literally the This is literally the
game to figure out the worst team in the league. Yeah,
because whoever wins this is basically solidified the absolute worst
(13:18):
record of the TY. I feel like the Raiders have
completely given up.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
I think at least the Giants are trying to build
on something and the.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
Raiders just are soulless and broken. The discussions now of
fire and Pete Carroll.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Oh yeah, the season. Robert Sala has been talked about
for that job.
Speaker 7 (13:35):
I saw that.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Yeah, okay, I like to see him black. It's just
he does well, he looks, he looks okay, all right,
except for New York Jets Green. Okay, God, what what
it in your pants? Lady? Geez?
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Who did you pick in this one? You pick the Giants.
I'm picking the Giants also, Elmer.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
I'm Jets. I'm gonna say the Raiders, like I feel
like it's Las Vegas. They're you know, down there. It's
gonna be fun.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
It will be fun. But yeah, if you get that's
the game. If you're to choose a game.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Get blackout drunk.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
I'm gonna say that has the highest percentage of blackout
drug and I all I can guarantee we're gonna see
video of fights in the stands. I don't think, Yes, Vegas,
even if they're on there, it's Raider fan against Raiders.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Do not bring it like that as much as they
used to. They are a docile people. They're all tired,
they are all right. Game four, okay, the last.
Speaker 7 (14:41):
One we have here.
Speaker 6 (14:42):
It's gonna be the Chicago Bears versus the sand.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Huge good Sunday night game game.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
The Bears pretty much have the NFC North wrapped up. However,
I don't know who wins the tiebreaker. Packers are two
games backs at the win out and the Bears drop
drop this one. It's a big deal. The Bears and
the forty nine Ers both have to win this game
to win the division. So this is all the marbles
(15:13):
is both teams. This is the most important game of
the weekend. Yeah, Caleb Williams, by the way, is if
you haven't been paying attention to Caleb Williams, he's like
setting passing records. He's incredible. He's dropping dimes like he
is fun to watch. I gotta go with the forty
nine ers at home. I go forty nine ers at
home because of the great tune up that they had
(15:35):
just the ability to drop what forty seven points or
whatever it was, this is I think they're in the
right position to continue this going into the playoffs, So
I'm taking the forty nine ers also at home.
Speaker 6 (15:47):
Elmer, I'm going with the triple Bes for the Bears
because it's like Browns, Bills, Bears in my head, and
you know, it makes per sense.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
I thought there was like a LeVar Balls and I
appreciate the Ball family reference to Richie Bears.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Forty nine ers. Obviously, I'm going to go for the Bears.
I love me a good Bear moment.
Speaker 8 (16:07):
But also I feel like the Bears even when to
stay connecting the contention for a top NFC and you
know the division titles.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
So I'm going to go for the Chicago Bears. I
love I love it. I absolutely love that. I love it.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
All right, those are our four games. We'll put them
up on Twitter so that you can play along with us.
It Just tell us who you think is going to
win each of those four games. We'll come back on
Monday and talk about what is at stake for that
last week of the NFL.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Richie, I want you to practice all weekend, ESPN, ESPN. Oh,
I like that. Let's your cook good?
Speaker 7 (16:38):
All right?
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Take all right?
Speaker 7 (16:41):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
When mom takes over your dating profile, Danielle, we mentioned
Danielle's thirty one years old and has her family help
her out and on Sundays after dinner, they get together,
throw the old profile up on the big screen and
get to it now. Danielle's mom, like we said Suzanne
or Susan, She prefers career driven men. She does not
(17:13):
like spelling or grammatical errors. Danielle's sister is focused on
trying to find somebody for Danielle that could keep up
with her adrenaline junkie hobbies like One of her profile
picks is apparently her looks like repelling down a building
of some kind Dad.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Dad gets in on this.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Dad looks for signs that the match may butt heads
with her headstrong personality.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Her brother tries to steer her away from older men.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Everyone from top to bottom in the family says anybody
who wants a non monogamous relationship is off limits. She
said very few people actually pass all of those tests,
but Danielle has then had the opportunity for the final
veto on some of the choices. One match an entomologist,
(18:03):
she said, seemed especially promising, but when Mom went on
to check into bumble to check what logged into bumble
to check in, he was.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Gone, and Mom said her heart was broken. Yeah, you
can't get attached.
Speaker 7 (18:16):
Mom.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Some parents, when you show them, and again I think
we would react the same way when you show them
what is on these dating profiles, parents are like, that's
a lot of drinking, or that's a lot of hunting,
or that's a lot.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Of I mean whatever they're leading. Whatever they're leading, Yeah,
it can be too much.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
For example, Lila van Key's mom offered to pay for
a premium tier of the Hinge dating.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Is that a guys dating people? Is that a racket
to get the premium? Whatever? It is yeah, but I don't.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
I mean, is it a racket, Like it's not worth it.
They get money, more money out of you for no
reason at all. You just think you're getting a premium experience.
Speaker 9 (19:03):
It just provides you, I guess with like, it's it's
less limited, you know, like you would be able to
swipe through different profiles more as opposed to being limited
to like a few in a day or the twenty
four hour period.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Oh you're limited yeah, yeah to how many?
Speaker 7 (19:20):
I don't.
Speaker 6 (19:22):
Let's just say you have like thirty or forty likes
so you can go through You're going through them super quickly.
Some people just like race through them if you're really desperate.
It's just I guess, yes, yes, but.
Speaker 8 (19:33):
You know what, also a few I want to say
about a year or two back, you would be able
to swipe more frequent And then I want to say,
in the last few year or so, now it's to
the point where, like let's say I'm having a conversation
with five people and I don't respond back to those five,
it won't allow me to respond to new people until
(19:54):
I respond back to that person. What yes, So they
kind of want to make sure that you're not just
even people on red or you know, ignoring.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
That's really stupid.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Yeah, because you got to fill a whole bench, like,
you know, you're not looking for one substitute.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
You got to have a bench, does it? Do they
know that? Come on?
Speaker 6 (20:15):
Man.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
One of the other, one of the other aspects of
this of having your family involved with this is they said,
it takes the pressure off of one of those key
dating milestones, which is meeting the parents, because if they
know enough about you right away, that first meeting might
not be as a pressure packed Catherine Sturgel's mom helped
(20:38):
her curate her hinge profile, pushing for photos that showed
that she was family oriented, encouraged the twenty nine year
old to get back on the app.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
She went on a date with a golf pro.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Catherine actually confessed that it was her mom who suggested
that they go out on this date. And Ellen thought
that he dressed well and that's mom and his profession
would be a hit with her golf loving husband and son.
And the date took it as a compliment and said, well,
at least someone's in my in my court, someone's you know,
(21:10):
fighting for me.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
If even if it is his date's mom.
Speaker 10 (21:14):
It sounds like a complicated it's the wrong reason I
think for mom to suggest that that you need to
get your husband and son a friend by having him
date your daughter.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
That seems like a little bit mixed priorities there.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Perhaps a little bit of mom meddling is good and helpful,
but too it's a delicate dance, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
I mean, Mom's I don't know.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
I don't know how it works because my I can
just speak for what I've witnessed with my brother and
my mom.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
My.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
By the time I met my my husband's mom, and
she loved everybody. I don't think that she ever had
a problem with me. But I can speak to my mom.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
And my brother.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
My brother has brought home a series of girls over
the years. We were just talking off the air about
how like my mom's got these these little porcelain nameplates
for like the Christmas table, and you know, everyone's pretty
much sharp eat in there, you know, the family, aunt
and uncle, you know, since deceased grandparents, and Andy, my brother, and.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Then there's one that's been like, you know, it's been
white out. We've had to take white out to it.
We've had to, you know, because we had his wife,
and then there's been there's been a handful of other
ladies in his life.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
But my mom has never been anything but so welcoming
and so wonderful to every woman my.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Brother has dated in his adult life or his whole life.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
You know, she may have reservations or whatever she may
some things may pop up in her head, but you
would never know it.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
I mean, it was always just.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Open arms, welcoming into the family for whoever my brother
was dating. And I know that's probably not always the case.
Moms have opinions, you know, and they're.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Usually strong opinions many they're usually.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
But I don't think my mom ever said to my brother,
you know, this one's a problem, or this one's going
to be a problem.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
I think she was always very supportive to him.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
I did have one girlfriend that my brother, one of
my brothers in law, was not happy with.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
He didn't tell me until after we broke up. So
this is your sister's husband. Yes, one of your sister's
husbands did not like a girl you were dating. And
he did never said anything until we broke up, and
then he was like, yes, she was not the one. Really,
What what did he say? What could he point to
or what just.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Different personalities, different personality types that we had interesting And
I thought at the time, I was like, what, thanks
for telling me. Now I would have I would have
at least listened to him. I probably would have ignored it.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Right. Well, that's always a question too, You know, who
do you listen to when it comes.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
To and the idea.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
That's the weird part about this article is that so
few people would listen to their parents if you brought
are their friends or anyone, But usually it's because they
they bring around the boyfriend, girlfriend or whatever after making
their own decision.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
If mom was involved in the original decision, you avoid
that problem. I suppose. Yeah, some you're listening to.
Speaker 7 (24:29):
Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Your kids are of dating or ages.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
They're out there living their lives. If they came to
you and said, can you run my dating apps? What
would you say and what would you look for?
Speaker 3 (24:50):
I wouldn't run it. You would just give input. I
would give input, but I would There's no way I
would run it. What kind of input do you think
you would? You mean you would give put on bulls?
Don't lie? You swear when you're a dad. You have
to whoa just don't lie? What do you mean, like,
(25:13):
don't lie like lie about what whatever?
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Don't use fake pictures, don't lie about what your interests are.
Don't don't try to make yourself look more interesting. You're
just gonna disappoint people. And then you have to try
to live up to this fake profile that you made.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Are you talking about our pictures when Richie retouches them?
And sometimes it doesn't make you feel good when you
see what's in the mirror. You know what, it's all lighting.
It's not all lighting, Richie, it's lies. It's lighting. It's
the word of lighting.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Is you see enough Ritchie pictures? And then you look
in the mirror and you're like, I am a piece
of crap? Is that what you're that's what you're referring to?
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Wasn't thinking about myself?
Speaker 9 (25:54):
No?
Speaker 3 (25:55):
Sure, okay, okay, So don't lie look at you for
four hours? It's so true. Oh my god, you have
to look at me more than you have to look
at yourself. Think about that. That's crazy. I'm sorry, I
am sorry, especially of Jucy Richie's pictures.
Speaker 9 (26:14):
No, but.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Like, would you be worried that that would be, you know,
crossing a line like too much input if you or
you would just.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Do things you asked me.
Speaker 7 (26:26):
No, I don't.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
I don't think it would, but I but I would.
I would never assume that they would want my input.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Yeah, and then what would you tell that Let's talk
about just say your daughter, what would you want her
to run away from on those app What would you
see on those apps that would make you say, nah,
not him.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
I think that she would probably have a pretty good
BS meter right away. Yeah, and that if there's a
whiff of inauthenticity, that that's what you would stay.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Away from, right because I mean, I don't know. Here's
what I don't quite get.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
I mean when you do that, when you do online
dating like that, it seems like you're taking away some
of what is a natural progression of a relationship.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Well, that's why I was talking about earlier, all the
wasted time, because when you meet face to face, you
know if you're going to have chemistry with someone within ten, fifteen,
twenty seconds. And that if you see someone that looks
good on an app, they could look great in their
pictures and you like what they're saying.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
But when you see them there's nothing there there Well.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
If and if you, it gives you too many opportunities
to say no right away. I think, oh, okay, because
if you if somebody gives for example, if somebody gives
too much information. Let me say this early early two
thousand's Shannon Farren out in the world and you see
(27:53):
somebody wearing, for example, RAMS gear.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Now I just got into a in the newsroom with
a RAMS fan. But I mean, this is no, It's
not that you can't. I would never. I would never.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
In fact, I dated someone in Seattle. I was twenty thirty,
twenty four. He was a Seahawks fan, and I said
this just you know, this is never going to be
long term, this is never going to work out because
you're a Seahawks fan.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
And he thought that was ridiculous. He thought that, well,
that's well, it is a little ridiculous. But I would
say this that that's the way I thought back then, right.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
But I'm and I'm saying that if if that was, uh,
you know, one of the criteria you immediately said no to,
or one of the reasons why you immediately said Notice
that I'm.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Missing out on what I'm missing out eating a Seahawks fan.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Get out of here. You're missing out on the opportunity
to find something you know. Maybe maybe he's not. I
like closing the door too early. I think that's good
for some people.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Sometimes you got to close the door because you know
what that is as your gut instinct, Your gut is
telling you that there's no way in hell you're going
to make a life with a Seahawks.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
My wife, God is my wife, mauf.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Had she seen my dating profile pick of me standing
in overalls, yeah, move on. That's what she would have said,
even as good as I made those overalls, you don't
know that has.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
She told I don't think she would. I don't think
she would say that. I think her gut feeling would
say those overalls are trash. But that looks like a
nice human, that looks like a good guy. I'm gonna,
I'm gonna, I'm gonna meet him, and I'm gonna get
rid of those overalls, which is what she did.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
And I still feel the same. I still feel like
I still feel like if you're and my sister.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Is married to a RAMS fan, and I don't know
how she lives in that house, Their their spawn, their child,
also a RAMS fan.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
I don't know how she lives in that house. Two
rams fans.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
One you gave birth to You give birth to the child,
and what does he do? He becomes a rams fan,
walks away from I don't know how you do it.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
Sometimes just to be cle She didn't. She didn't get
rid of my overalls.
Speaker 7 (30:03):
I did.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
She just was very carefully, neversatively reinforcing.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
It's clever of my She got rid of those overalls.
She just got you to do it.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
Now.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
That is expert Jedi mind trick. Right yere, you've been
listening to the Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
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 ap
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.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
The Court of Cessation, which is a basically supreme court
in the country of Turkey, has found that a man
in Turkey undermined marital trust by repeatedly liking other women's
photos online, and that his wife was legally allowed to
(00:31):
file for divorce because this guy was giving a thumbs.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Up to these thirst traps on life? Now?
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Is there a way to see what people are liking
or who people are liking? I sound like this guy's grandmother,
but I just don't know, Like, if I was to
look up your profile, yes, would I be able to
see what you have liked?
Speaker 3 (00:55):
I don't know how I would do that, right, I
don't think so.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
But if you looked at one of my posts, you
could see who liked it.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
That's true, But you've done nothing wrong there. What do
you mean, well, I thought that this court ruled that
he was the husband and this thing was liking all
of these scantily clad women's posts. How were they able
to find out what he was? Who his wife found out?
How did she find out that he was liking.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
All those things somehow, I don't know. It sounds like
they need hobbies.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
She accused her husband of belittling or failing to provide
financial support, reaching his duty of loyalty by interacting with
other week's posts.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
I was watching land Man, which is a great show.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Yes, land Man, we can all agree, and Allie Larder,
who looks incredible. She got on Billy Bob Thornton and
I know these aren't their names in the show, but
for saying to his I don't want to say nemesis
nor business partner, because he is a little bit of both.
Andy Garcia's wife like I like your wife, or I
(01:59):
like the way your wife looks.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
I forget what he said, and Ali lost her mind.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
She was like, what do you mean you like his
wife or he liked meeting his wife, And it was
just like that was the old school way of getting
mad at someone for liking a post on Instagram. Sure,
this is the new way to get mad Landman showcase.
The old way that maybe your mom got mad at
your dad. But the new way is when you find
out your boyfriend is liking hot girl's pictures on Instagram.
(02:27):
And how upset should you be in Landman, it looks
ridiculous when she gets upset with him for.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
That, right, because he was just complimenting, right, this nice couples.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Right, it looked ridiculous. But it's just as ridiculous if.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
You're getting mad at your boyfriend for liking someone's posts
on Instagram.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Right.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
No, No, I don't want my wife liking some shirtless
photo of some guy in his rawest form on Instagram.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
What if it was you?
Speaker 2 (02:58):
If you want your husband like spending time like going
through I know that he you know I'm not saying
that she.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
You know that your wife if she saw a picture
of Bradley Cooper without his shirt on and just those
beautiful blues looking at her, that she would in her
head like that picture.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
She'd be like, oh, he looks good. There's very different.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
That's very different than expressing it the outwardly public.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
I see, I see, okay, I see yeah, Because you
can't say, like one of my favorite what.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
If they're not naked? What if it's a mister Bradley
Cooper in a blue shirt? So you would be you
would not like her liking that?
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Well, my question would be why would you do that
what's the what's the point of liking a picture of
somebody that you don't know on Instagram other than show
before you like pictures? But you're doing it to show
other people what kind of pictures you like?
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Are you though? Because I don't know what your wife likes?
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Why?
Speaker 2 (03:56):
I wouldn't know? Why do they attach a name to
the like when you put a thumb up.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Who's diving into people's likes to find out who's liking that?
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Well, No, that's a different issue. You're talking about the
idea of trust versus not t trusting.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Life liking things. You wouldn't know what she has liked.
You're right, I have no idea what she has liked
on Instagram. Right, But in the event that I found
out that she had a lot of likes of Bradley
Cooper's pictures, she might.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
I'd be like, what are you doing? Why? What is
the What is the benefit of that for you? It's
just showing affirmation that you like a picture to whom
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I think Bradley Cooper is going to go down the
list and be like, oh, oh good things, she likes
my picture.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Maybe I'll slip into those d ms. I mean she's
probably liked pictures of men on Instagram.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Fine, Okay, I mean I don't know how to prove
one way or the other that she has What.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
If she doesn't like him for his eyes? What if
she likes him the rolls efforts for the rule fan?
Speaker 3 (05:00):
No, was he there? I don't know. I mean you
wouldn't are you liking? Okay, go ahead on mine. I
fully agree with Gary oh Man. Okay.
Speaker 6 (05:12):
It's just I mean, when you liking something assistently, I
feel you're just fangirling at that point, you know, and like,
why would you put a fangirling like.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
You can have a husband and still be a fan
of somebody of the opposite sexn't, can't you?
Speaker 6 (05:28):
But depends on what the pictures are, you know, if
it's Bradley Cooper without a shirt versus Bradley Cooper and
like a car commercial.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
You know, what's the difference of us having.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Jim Harbaugh in studio and me being like, oh my god,
I'm such a big fan.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
I've liked pictures of Jim Harbaugh. Yeah, you're talking about
this very different.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
You're talking about admirant admiring somebody like you admire Jim.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
But it comes in the form of liking on socials.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Also, it's a worthless it's a completely it's a worthless
it's a it's a worthless action on your part to
like a video.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
So is the hypothetical of your wife liking Matthew McConaughey
picture Bradley Cooper's there's a sex. Let's take away the
shirt the shirtless thing. Let's just say it's a picture
of Bradley Cooper.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Again, you can't use him as the example.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Okay, there's your wife out of the hypothetical too. Then
let's say it's a different couple, just a random couple,
and the wife is liking pictures of Eddie Murphy.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
It's Larry and Sharon, Larry and Sharon, okay, and Sharon
has been liking these Eddie Murphy pictures, which, again, Eddie.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Murphy's fully clothed. That's a problem. Again, you're taking out
the sexual aspect of it.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
This guy is talking about this guy in Turkey specific
we're talking about thirst tracks.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
You're talking about of women on line not wearing clothes,
and there are women wearing clothes.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Not okay, So, but you're making my argument.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
So you might look at a picture on Instagram and
be like, oh, it's a sex picture. I look at
it and think that's just a girl on a Wednesday
in Instagram.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
And here, I think is part of the fundamental difference.
Dude see that differently than women do. You could listen
You're talking about looking at a picture of Bradley Cooper
and going, I like his philanthropic work.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
I Matt, I don't know what that is. I don't
even know if it does any.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
I'm just saying, but if I see a woman, if
I see an actress right in a in a tight
form fitting dress on Instagram, something like that, Sidney Sweeney
as as an example, because it's current, put it out
of those I've done, not that.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
I've seen him. There's a sexual aspect to it that
women don't see.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Guys are driven by sexualizing Sidney Sweeney just because you
can see the shape of her breasts.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Yes, yes, dudes, so we're just supposed to hide them all.
I'm just saying, I do my Devil's advocate, you, guys.
That's the way that dudes see that.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
But and that this woman in Turkey is acknowledging the
fact that that's her husband is a horn dog and
he's doing it online.
Speaker 7 (08:22):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
I don't. I think that this is an overreaction to
there are.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
It can be, but also it could be an indicator
that there's something wrong in the relationship.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
I'm not saying there's nothing wrong in their relationship.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
If you're spending all your time liking pictures of other girls,
that's probably a problem.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
But this isn't a court of law. Yeah, just determining
whether or not she has ground round for a divorce
like that's it's I mean, I don't know. Listen, I
would be, I would be, I would be. I gotta
stup liking all those Jim Harbaugh pictures. Let's get in here.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
You're doing it wrong. You're doing it wrong. I like
those steal couple cleats out of that locker room to
take a home.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Go to it weird.
Speaker 7 (09:16):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
This is what's happening on December twenty sixth, Right, everybody,
put your time machines on, and it's time for our
Gas Fantasy for Play, where Elmer chooses four games that
are coming up this weekend and we will see if
we can pick all four games winners, we.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Get Saturday and Sunday games this weekend.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
F y I oh, okay, great do we Elmer's looking
with big eyes. He's not quite sure, you know.
Speaker 6 (09:47):
With all the ones on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Okay, right, all right, that's good.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
But but we will have games tomorrow to watch at
least as we prepare for what's coming up on Sunday.
And then of course one more Monday Night game. I
think this is the last week of Monday night games
coming up in a couple of days.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
All right, what's our first game outre?
Speaker 6 (10:07):
The first game is Pittsburgh Steelers versus to Cleveland Brown's.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Ooh, this is a fight for the bottom and the
base at the top in the basement, i should say,
of the AFC North Steelers lead the division at nine
and six, the Browns in the basement at.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Three and twelve.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
What's your We have not yet talked at all about
Shador Sanders as the quarterback for the Browns.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Do you think I think that nobody wants to compliment him.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
His head coach doesn't want to compliment him, which makes
me be a Sanders fan.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
I was just gonna say, I think a lot of
people want to crap on him because of his dad,
because of arrogance, because of all of these things that
he brings to it.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
What he's done pretty well. Yeah, concerning what he's working with,
he's done pretty well.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
I haven't paid attention a lot. I paid attention to
the game after I think his debut, and he was great.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
He's a rookie quarterback and the expectation is anyway, So exactly,
I take Aaron Rodgers time. I'm letting the Steelers in that.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
I think the I my rule of never pick against
Mike Tomlin has to come into play, so I'm going
to take the Steelers as well.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Elmer, who do you choose in that one?
Speaker 6 (11:09):
I'm going with the Browns?
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Okay, why.
Speaker 6 (11:13):
Don't I picked it before you guys picked yours? So
but not hearing you why you picked yours? I feel
like I'm gonna lose it.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Just spoke to you, yep, spoke okay, Richie, what speaks
to you.
Speaker 8 (11:22):
I'm going to go with the Cleveland Browns only because
I went to Cleveland High School.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
So oh, it just makes sense. I love that. It
makes perfect sense. All right, Elmer, what's our second game?
Speaker 7 (11:32):
Okay?
Speaker 6 (11:33):
Number two is going to be the Philadelphia Eagles versus
the Buffalo.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Bill This is gonna be afternoon game in Buffalo, so
it's going to be cold. They're both fine, They're both
cold render teams. Both are playing for something.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
The Eagles, Uh, it looks like the Eagles will.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Have the NFC East wrapped up.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
The Bills, on the other hand, they want to challenge
the Patriots for the title of the AFC East one
game back from the Patriots. It's there where did you
say this was in Buffalo? In Buffalo? I like the
Bills in this one.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
I feel like the.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Eagles have not been as good as they should even
at ten and five. Are correct, man, but I I
think I'm going to take the Eagles in this one. Uh,
just a total gut feeling, no other reason. Elmer, what
do you think? Philadelphia Buffalo?
Speaker 6 (12:25):
I'm going with Bills because it's upstate New York and
I know a lot of Bills fans.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
I like the Labatt beer also a strong choice. Richie
also going to go with the Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
I mean, cold, win, loud crowd. I mean I think
they got this. Yeah, I love nailed all that, all right,
Richie's going to be at ESPN next week. What's our
What's our third game? Elmer?
Speaker 6 (12:46):
Third game is the New York Giants versus to.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Bas I love how you pick what garbage games just
because it's the Giants, Like this is a second week.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
He just picks the Giants because there there garbage. It's
garbage on garbage. Both of these teams are two and
thirteen Giants. This is literally the This is literally the
game to figure out the worst team in the league. Yeah,
because whoever wins this is basically solidified the absolute worst
(13:18):
record of the TY. I feel like the Raiders have
completely given up.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
I think at least the Giants are trying to build
on something and the.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
Raiders just are soulless and broken. The discussions now of
fire and Pete Carroll.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Oh yeah, the season. Robert Sala has been talked about
for that job.
Speaker 7 (13:35):
I saw that.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Yeah, okay, I like to see him black. It's just
he does well, he looks, he looks okay, all right,
except for New York Jets Green. Okay, God, what what
it in your pants? Lady? Geez?
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Who did you pick in this one? You pick the Giants.
I'm picking the Giants also, Elmer.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
I'm Jets. I'm gonna say the Raiders, like I feel
like it's Las Vegas. They're you know, down there. It's
gonna be fun.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
It will be fun. But yeah, if you get that's
the game. If you're to choose a game.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Get blackout drunk.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
I'm gonna say that has the highest percentage of blackout
drug and I all I can guarantee we're gonna see
video of fights in the stands. I don't think, Yes, Vegas,
even if they're on there, it's Raider fan against Raiders.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Do not bring it like that as much as they
used to. They are a docile people. They're all tired,
they are all right. Game four, okay, the last.
Speaker 7 (14:41):
One we have here.
Speaker 6 (14:42):
It's gonna be the Chicago Bears versus the sand.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Huge good Sunday night game game.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
The Bears pretty much have the NFC North wrapped up. However,
I don't know who wins the tiebreaker. Packers are two
games backs at the win out and the Bears drop
drop this one. It's a big deal. The Bears and
the forty nine Ers both have to win this game
to win the division. So this is all the marbles
(15:13):
is both teams. This is the most important game of
the weekend. Yeah, Caleb Williams, by the way, is if
you haven't been paying attention to Caleb Williams, he's like
setting passing records. He's incredible. He's dropping dimes like he
is fun to watch. I gotta go with the forty
nine ers at home. I go forty nine ers at
home because of the great tune up that they had
(15:35):
just the ability to drop what forty seven points or
whatever it was, this is I think they're in the
right position to continue this going into the playoffs, So
I'm taking the forty nine ers also at home.
Speaker 6 (15:47):
Elmer, I'm going with the triple Bes for the Bears
because it's like Browns, Bills, Bears in my head, and
you know, it makes per sense.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
I thought there was like a LeVar Balls and I
appreciate the Ball family reference to Richie Bears.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Forty nine ers. Obviously, I'm going to go for the Bears.
I love me a good Bear moment.
Speaker 8 (16:07):
But also I feel like the Bears even when to
stay connecting the contention for a top NFC and you
know the division titles.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
So I'm going to go for the Chicago Bears. I
love I love it. I absolutely love that. I love it.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
All right, those are our four games. We'll put them
up on Twitter so that you can play along with us.
It Just tell us who you think is going to
win each of those four games. We'll come back on
Monday and talk about what is at stake for that
last week of the NFL.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Richie, I want you to practice all weekend, ESPN, ESPN. Oh,
I like that. Let's your cook good?
Speaker 7 (16:38):
All right?
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Take all right?
Speaker 7 (16:41):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
When mom takes over your dating profile, Danielle, we mentioned
Danielle's thirty one years old and has her family help
her out and on Sundays after dinner, they get together,
throw the old profile up on the big screen and
get to it now. Danielle's mom, like we said Suzanne
or Susan, She prefers career driven men. She does not
(17:13):
like spelling or grammatical errors. Danielle's sister is focused on
trying to find somebody for Danielle that could keep up
with her adrenaline junkie hobbies like One of her profile
picks is apparently her looks like repelling down a building
of some kind Dad.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Dad gets in on this.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Dad looks for signs that the match may butt heads
with her headstrong personality.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Her brother tries to steer her away from older men.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Everyone from top to bottom in the family says anybody
who wants a non monogamous relationship is off limits. She
said very few people actually pass all of those tests,
but Danielle has then had the opportunity for the final
veto on some of the choices. One match an entomologist,
(18:03):
she said, seemed especially promising, but when Mom went on
to check into bumble to check what logged into bumble
to check in, he was.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Gone, and Mom said her heart was broken. Yeah, you
can't get attached.
Speaker 7 (18:16):
Mom.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Some parents, when you show them, and again I think
we would react the same way when you show them
what is on these dating profiles, parents are like, that's
a lot of drinking, or that's a lot of hunting,
or that's a lot.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Of I mean whatever they're leading. Whatever they're leading, Yeah,
it can be too much.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
For example, Lila van Key's mom offered to pay for
a premium tier of the Hinge dating.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Is that a guys dating people? Is that a racket
to get the premium? Whatever? It is yeah, but I don't.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
I mean, is it a racket, Like it's not worth it.
They get money, more money out of you for no
reason at all. You just think you're getting a premium experience.
Speaker 9 (19:03):
It just provides you, I guess with like, it's it's
less limited, you know, like you would be able to
swipe through different profiles more as opposed to being limited
to like a few in a day or the twenty
four hour period.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Oh you're limited yeah, yeah to how many?
Speaker 7 (19:20):
I don't.
Speaker 6 (19:22):
Let's just say you have like thirty or forty likes
so you can go through You're going through them super quickly.
Some people just like race through them if you're really desperate.
It's just I guess, yes, yes, but.
Speaker 8 (19:33):
You know what, also a few I want to say
about a year or two back, you would be able
to swipe more frequent And then I want to say,
in the last few year or so, now it's to
the point where, like let's say I'm having a conversation
with five people and I don't respond back to those five,
it won't allow me to respond to new people until
(19:54):
I respond back to that person. What yes, So they
kind of want to make sure that you're not just
even people on red or you know, ignoring.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
That's really stupid.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Yeah, because you got to fill a whole bench, like,
you know, you're not looking for one substitute.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
You got to have a bench, does it? Do they
know that? Come on?
Speaker 6 (20:15):
Man.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
One of the other, one of the other aspects of
this of having your family involved with this is they said,
it takes the pressure off of one of those key
dating milestones, which is meeting the parents, because if they
know enough about you right away, that first meeting might
not be as a pressure packed Catherine Sturgel's mom helped
(20:38):
her curate her hinge profile, pushing for photos that showed
that she was family oriented, encouraged the twenty nine year
old to get back on the app.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
She went on a date with a golf pro.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Catherine actually confessed that it was her mom who suggested
that they go out on this date. And Ellen thought
that he dressed well and that's mom and his profession
would be a hit with her golf loving husband and son.
And the date took it as a compliment and said, well,
at least someone's in my in my court, someone's you know,
(21:10):
fighting for me.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
If even if it is his date's mom.
Speaker 10 (21:14):
It sounds like a complicated it's the wrong reason I
think for mom to suggest that that you need to
get your husband and son a friend by having him
date your daughter.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
That seems like a little bit mixed priorities there.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Perhaps a little bit of mom meddling is good and helpful,
but too it's a delicate dance, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
I mean, Mom's I don't know.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
I don't know how it works because my I can
just speak for what I've witnessed with my brother and
my mom.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
My.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
By the time I met my my husband's mom, and
she loved everybody. I don't think that she ever had
a problem with me. But I can speak to my mom.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
And my brother.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
My brother has brought home a series of girls over
the years. We were just talking off the air about
how like my mom's got these these little porcelain nameplates
for like the Christmas table, and you know, everyone's pretty
much sharp eat in there, you know, the family, aunt
and uncle, you know, since deceased grandparents, and Andy, my brother, and.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Then there's one that's been like, you know, it's been
white out. We've had to take white out to it.
We've had to, you know, because we had his wife,
and then there's been there's been a handful of other
ladies in his life.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
But my mom has never been anything but so welcoming
and so wonderful to every woman my.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Brother has dated in his adult life or his whole life.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
You know, she may have reservations or whatever she may
some things may pop up in her head, but you
would never know it.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
I mean, it was always just.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Open arms, welcoming into the family for whoever my brother
was dating. And I know that's probably not always the case.
Moms have opinions, you know, and they're.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Usually strong opinions many they're usually.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
But I don't think my mom ever said to my brother,
you know, this one's a problem, or this one's going
to be a problem.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
I think she was always very supportive to him.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
I did have one girlfriend that my brother, one of
my brothers in law, was not happy with.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
He didn't tell me until after we broke up. So
this is your sister's husband. Yes, one of your sister's
husbands did not like a girl you were dating. And
he did never said anything until we broke up, and
then he was like, yes, she was not the one. Really,
What what did he say? What could he point to
or what just.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Different personalities, different personality types that we had interesting And
I thought at the time, I was like, what, thanks
for telling me. Now I would have I would have
at least listened to him. I probably would have ignored it.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Right. Well, that's always a question too, You know, who
do you listen to when it comes.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
To and the idea.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
That's the weird part about this article is that so
few people would listen to their parents if you brought
are their friends or anyone, But usually it's because they
they bring around the boyfriend, girlfriend or whatever after making
their own decision.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
If mom was involved in the original decision, you avoid
that problem. I suppose. Yeah, some you're listening to.
Speaker 7 (24:29):
Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Your kids are of dating or ages.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
They're out there living their lives. If they came to
you and said, can you run my dating apps? What
would you say and what would you look for?
Speaker 3 (24:50):
I wouldn't run it. You would just give input. I
would give input, but I would There's no way I
would run it. What kind of input do you think
you would? You mean you would give put on bulls?
Don't lie? You swear when you're a dad. You have
to whoa just don't lie? What do you mean, like,
(25:13):
don't lie like lie about what whatever?
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Don't use fake pictures, don't lie about what your interests are.
Don't don't try to make yourself look more interesting. You're
just gonna disappoint people. And then you have to try
to live up to this fake profile that you made.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Are you talking about our pictures when Richie retouches them?
And sometimes it doesn't make you feel good when you
see what's in the mirror. You know what, it's all lighting.
It's not all lighting, Richie, it's lies. It's lighting. It's
the word of lighting.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Is you see enough Ritchie pictures? And then you look
in the mirror and you're like, I am a piece
of crap? Is that what you're that's what you're referring to?
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Wasn't thinking about myself?
Speaker 9 (25:54):
No?
Speaker 3 (25:55):
Sure, okay, okay, So don't lie look at you for
four hours? It's so true. Oh my god, you have
to look at me more than you have to look
at yourself. Think about that. That's crazy. I'm sorry, I
am sorry, especially of Jucy Richie's pictures.
Speaker 9 (26:14):
No, but.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Like, would you be worried that that would be, you know,
crossing a line like too much input if you or
you would just.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Do things you asked me.
Speaker 7 (26:26):
No, I don't.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
I don't think it would, but I but I would.
I would never assume that they would want my input.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Yeah, and then what would you tell that Let's talk
about just say your daughter, what would you want her
to run away from on those app What would you
see on those apps that would make you say, nah,
not him.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
I think that she would probably have a pretty good
BS meter right away. Yeah, and that if there's a
whiff of inauthenticity, that that's what you would stay.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Away from, right because I mean, I don't know. Here's
what I don't quite get.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
I mean when you do that, when you do online
dating like that, it seems like you're taking away some
of what is a natural progression of a relationship.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Well, that's why I was talking about earlier, all the
wasted time, because when you meet face to face, you
know if you're going to have chemistry with someone within ten, fifteen,
twenty seconds. And that if you see someone that looks
good on an app, they could look great in their
pictures and you like what they're saying.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
But when you see them there's nothing there there Well.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
If and if you, it gives you too many opportunities
to say no right away. I think, oh, okay, because
if you if somebody gives for example, if somebody gives
too much information. Let me say this early early two
thousand's Shannon Farren out in the world and you see
(27:53):
somebody wearing, for example, RAMS gear.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Now I just got into a in the newsroom with
a RAMS fan. But I mean, this is no, It's
not that you can't. I would never. I would never.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
In fact, I dated someone in Seattle. I was twenty thirty,
twenty four. He was a Seahawks fan, and I said
this just you know, this is never going to be
long term, this is never going to work out because
you're a Seahawks fan.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
And he thought that was ridiculous. He thought that, well,
that's well, it is a little ridiculous. But I would
say this that that's the way I thought back then, right.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
But I'm and I'm saying that if if that was, uh,
you know, one of the criteria you immediately said no to,
or one of the reasons why you immediately said Notice
that I'm.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Missing out on what I'm missing out eating a Seahawks fan.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Get out of here. You're missing out on the opportunity
to find something you know. Maybe maybe he's not. I
like closing the door too early. I think that's good
for some people.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Sometimes you got to close the door because you know
what that is as your gut instinct, Your gut is
telling you that there's no way in hell you're going
to make a life with a Seahawks.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
My wife, God is my wife, mauf.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Had she seen my dating profile pick of me standing
in overalls, yeah, move on. That's what she would have said,
even as good as I made those overalls, you don't
know that has.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
She told I don't think she would. I don't think
she would say that. I think her gut feeling would
say those overalls are trash. But that looks like a
nice human, that looks like a good guy. I'm gonna,
I'm gonna, I'm gonna meet him, and I'm gonna get
rid of those overalls, which is what she did.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
And I still feel the same. I still feel like
I still feel like if you're and my sister.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Is married to a RAMS fan, and I don't know
how she lives in that house, Their their spawn, their child,
also a RAMS fan.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
I don't know how she lives in that house. Two
rams fans.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
One you gave birth to You give birth to the child,
and what does he do? He becomes a rams fan,
walks away from I don't know how you do it.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
Sometimes just to be cle She didn't. She didn't get
rid of my overalls.
Speaker 7 (30:03):
I did.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
She just was very carefully, neversatively reinforcing.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
It's clever of my She got rid of those overalls.
She just got you to do it.
Speaker 5 (30:13):

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
