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 (00:07):
You are your Jeopardy question. Young adult reading for one
thousand dollars. Okay.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
An attempted trip to a South Dakota city that didn't
really exist inspired this author to write Paper Towns.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
I actually know this one. We do not know that one.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Now you know John Green, No, He's written a number
of young adult books that have been turned into movies.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Oh so right up, right up my alley, smack dab
and wheel.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
The fault in All Our Stars or the Fault in
Our Store and Our Stars. I think my daughter read that.
That may have been the only one of his that
was turned into a movie. I think Paper Towns was paper.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
That sounds familiar too, I just wouldn't know the writer.
What else is going on?
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Time for What's happening?

An update on what's going on in terms of battle
damage assessment Tulsey Gabbard is the latest to come out
and say that new intelligence after the US strikes on
the Iranian nuclear facilities shows that, in fact, if the
facilities have been destroyed, if the Iranians chose to rebuild,
they would have to rebuild all three facilities Fordoh, Natans
(01:41):
and Eschahan entirely, which would likely take years to do.
She then said that the media criticized the recent reports.
The propaganda media has deployed their usual tactic, selectively releasing
portions of illegally leaked classified intelligence assessments, intentionally leaving out
the fact that the assessment was written with low confidence.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
An update to the story we just told you about
that awful excuse for a human White Sox fan who
berated a Diamondbacks player over his dead mother.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
He's been banned from all Major League parks.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Oh good, I hope his buddies are impressed with the
snappy little retort that he held it at Katel Marte.
The UK says it's going to be buying f thirty
five airplanes capable of carrying nuclear bombs. Kir Starmer, the
Prime Minister, announced that today, said it's the biggest strengthening
(02:37):
of the UK's nuclear posture in a generation. He made
the announcement while he was also at the NATO summit
there in the Netherlands, as was President Trump and Secretary
of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegsack.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Good news. La County has seen a twenty two percent
drop in overdose deaths last year. That's the largest annual
decline on record. That is excellent news. They also show
what the data does shows a thirty seven percent reduction
in fentanyl related fatalities twenty percent decline in meth related
(03:15):
deaths compared with twenty twenty three as outstanding. That is
a massive drop.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
The report does say the rate of fentanyl overdose deaths
was about four times higher in the least affluent areas
as you could imagine more than thirty percent of families
that live below the federal poverty level compared to the
most affluent areas with less than ten percent of families
living below what they refer to as the federal poverty level.
(03:42):
Corona police had to break a window to rescue a
baby left alone in a hot car. You've done that,
I have, but I didn't get written up like this.
I think you should.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
I think we should retell the story every time a
baby in a hot car comes up begins like this,
don't get any music for the story.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Gary was at a rehearsal for his adult theater production.
There is a bunch of activity going on outside, to
which the adult actors say to themselves and to each other,
what is going on outside?
Speaker 2 (04:23):
What is that flurry of activity?
Speaker 1 (04:25):
So, donning they're adults theater attire, they make their way
outside where they find a young couple in distress.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
What is the problem there?
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Is the baby, their young baby, because it's a baby,
it's very young, is in the car and the baby
can't get out because it's a baby.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
And the dad and the mother looking at each other
and scratch it, what do we do? What do we do?
Speaker 1 (04:46):
And Gary says, get me that hammer, and he takes
the hammer, and he takes the hammer to the window
and he scoops up the baby and saves the baby.
And that is a true story. And if that was
my story, I'd tell it every day. I'd hit you
over the head just like Gary hit that window with
the hammer to save the baby.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
It's a great story. Did I tell it correctly? I
have most of it. Yeah, okay, it sounded great. I
was in the full costume. Did you mention that part? Yes,
I was a stress rehearsal day.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
But what were you wearing? What was the costume?
Speaker 3 (05:24):
That was my doctor but in the eighteen eighties.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
So you're wearing a white coat I was wearing.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Yeah, it was wearing a longer white doctor coat, yes, yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
And a mustache. I think I had the most stash on.
You didn't take the mustache off.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
It was glued onto my face. I didn't know that
when I'm gonna take it off. Just a break o.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Strangers let a grown man in a fake mustache break
into their car to get there.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Everybody was standing around looking at each other, like, well,
we should call the police, dude, Yeah, go ahead call
them and tell them what I've done.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Later, I have bad news for you.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
This is something that you'll probably have to worry about
after you get back from vacation, after your wife has
decided to leave you after seeing you in this speedo
in public. Bumble has announced plans to lay off about
two hundred and fifty employees, about thirty percent of its workforce.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
How am I going to find the next great missus Hoffman.
I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
All right, when we come back, we'll be talking about Apple.
Can Apple do big screen movies?
Speaker 2 (06:31):
You already say yes? I say yes.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI.
AM six forty told.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
You the story about how the Golden State Warriors are
teaming up with a charity to teach inmates in Solano.
I believe State lock up how to be coaches, emphasis
on anger management and things of that nature. And I thought, gosh,
what a great movie that would make.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
We talked about it. Well, here's another one.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Twelve year old Houston boy named juv Aguarl started playing
the keyboard when he was four. Several years ago, he
noticed his playing of the keyboard soothed his family's restless dog, Bozo,
so he wondered if it could also help stressed homeless animals. So,
(07:25):
with the help from his parents, this twelve year old
boy in Houston has founded a nonprofit called Wild Tunes
to recruit musicians to play in animal shelters. He says,
after a few minutes of playing, most animals calm down
and even go to sleep.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (07:42):
That cool.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Good for that kid.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Yeah, that's very creative, that's very funny.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Well, I'm sure F one is a fine movie. I
want to remind you in twenty twenty one, Apple's CODA
one Picture of the Year and Best Supporting Actor. So
this F one isn't Apple's first foray into motion picture.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
No, it's not, thank you.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Thank you, And it's not the first thing of at
that Apple Studios has put out in the big theaters,
but it arguably is set up to be the biggest
money maker by far.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
The reason that we talked about it being a new
thing is because Apple is doing new things with F one. Apple,
for example, mounted dozens of iPhone cameras on cars zooming
through actual F one events to capture the feeling of
(08:46):
sitting in a cockpit at two hundred and thirty three
miles per hour. And that is one of the great
things about this movie is the vantage point that it
puts you, the viewer in where you actually feel like
you're in the seat. Is close to a virtual reality
type movie feel.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
And I saw it in an Imax theater.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
The sound, the feel of the seat, everything, it was
an immersive experience with F one. With this movie, you
throw in the feel good old guy of Brad Pitt,
who's just a fun hang, just a fun actor to
hang out with for a couple hours. And whatever vehicle
they put him in. When I'm talking about vehicle, I'm
talking about whatever movie. But particularly in this movie, he's
(09:30):
a fun hang. You like his character, you like him
and the effects. I mean, while the writing is, the
effects alone are worth going to the theater for this thing.
Like I said, it's a return to the summer blockbuster,
at least in my opinion.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
So that opens on Friday in theaters nationwide and in
other places continent wide, I suppose. But there is some
outside industry watchers who say there's pressure this to be
a successful launch for Apple, and up to this point
they've done a great job marketing. It's been really well done.
(10:06):
F One is one of those is one of those
sports in the United States that doesn't have as big
an audience, but it is growing.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
But and with its fans, they are relevant. Yeah, it
sells itself if you're just gonna call the movie F
One well, and I think.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
I mean to your point about them putting iPhones into
cars if nothing else to get some of the original
vantage points that they would use then in the movie
their Apple has got to deal with F one that
they're going to start mounting cameras that are going to
be used for their regular telecasts of F one races.
And as you get the technology gets better for those
(10:47):
kinds of things, you see it in Nascar a lot
as well the in car view. You're gonna get a
lot more fans because they're going to see the adrenaline.
The business end of this, the movie Argyle was an
Apple product. The movie fly Me to the Moon, which
was a stinker on its face, was also an Apple product,
was not as successful in theaters as they would have wanted. Yes,
(11:11):
Coda did win Best Picture because it was a really
great movie. It's one hundred and eighty degrees opposite of
what F one is going to try to do. So
this push towards Apple creating movies that would debut in
the movie theaters also goes against what we've seen from
(11:31):
other streaming services. I mean think Netflix. Ted Sarandos is
the one who came out and said that theatrical releases
are an outmoded idea for most people. Netflix has tried
to do something similar. They've had movies produced that start
in a theater more for the awards reasons than financial reasons,
but then end up on the streaming service and they're
(11:53):
not great. The concept that theaters are going away is
probably not true. And if you still have a good, clean,
high tech movie theater in your in your area, wherever
you like to go see movies, this is gonna be
one of those that you're gonna want to go see
because it's it is built specifically for that big screen
(12:16):
viewing opportunity that's out there.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
All right, we have an explainer for Love Island when
we come back. What an explainer.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Someone's gonna break it down. I thought you were going
to break it down. Oh boy, I you don't want
me to. I think you should tell the story. I might.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (12:43):

Speaker 3 (13:14):
Trio of trailers. It's up on the website right now.
Balloon Boy, we talked about this series before the train
Wreck anthology series on Netflix. The poop Cruise was one
of the episodes they wanted talking about. There's a new
episode for balloon Boy if you remember that story.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
I am so against documentaries that focus on stories involving
people who wanted to get attention. I don't want to
give them any more attention.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Yeah, that's a good point.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
One of the other trailers Mariska Hargeta talking about the
myths of her mother, Jane Mansfield.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
That is a new documentary called My Mom Jane. And
then the.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
Latest Tyler Perry movie is Media's Destination Wedding. Thirteen media
movies made by Tyler Perry.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Good for him if they keep making money. I don't
see one good for him.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
A Love Island seems to be the latest with all
of the zeitgeist talk.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Hey you're and Shannon Tito here, what you're watching? Wednesday?
Love Island USA is the best thing on How can
you not be watching?
Speaker 3 (14:30):
It's five days a week except Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Speaker 6 (14:33):
You get to vote couples off, you get to vote
people off.
Speaker 5 (14:37):
There's plot twists, there's.
Speaker 7 (14:39):
Hate, oh, there's love.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
So I want you to watching Wednesday and you should be
watching Love Island.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
You is that the guy who told me to watch
Love Hotel? Because I fell for that one too. Okay,
so I watched one episode of Love Island because you
brought up that you watched.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
The latest episode. I started with episode.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
One of season seven, and if I'm not mistaken, the
premise is you got a handful of girls, a handful
of guys. Everyone's in the early to mid twenties, and
they're all hooking up together, and they couple off. The
goal at the end of the surviving couple, I guess
gets one hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
It's viewer driven.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Like he mentioned, I guess viewers get to vote couples off.
And as soon as I knew that, I knew that
about the cash prize. I didn't know that viewers got
to vote couples off. But as soon as I knew
about the cash prize, it was immediately evident to me
that some of these people were playing to the audience,
to the crowd to the cameras in terms of like me,
I'm going to do something to get people to like
(15:41):
me or like me as a couple with this person.
So there's that element. It's not just about finding love
or saw some minusex.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
I certainly did not see. Yeah, well there were distractions.
I was told about this show.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
And allowed it to be televised on my television, and
I hate it every moment.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Well, you have a couple relatives that involve, you know,
teenage girls who every teenage girls, girls and their twenties
very much into this show. I fear about it everywhere
I go, from the young people that they love Love Island?
What's going on Love Island? Did you see last night?
The whole bit.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
But I'm trying to wrap my head around the idea
that this would be an acceptable show for a teenage
girl and to watch with relatives. The idea of me
watching this show with you is funny.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
It's uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
I don't know if it's uncomfortable, but you would just
ruin it. You'd ruin the experience for me to watch
any sort of reality TV show and you're watching it
with my dad or my uncle, Like forget about it.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
So the reason I even allowed this, I didn't know
how crazy it was. I thought it was like The Bachelor, right,
And when I've watched The Bachelor with teenage girls, notably
my daughter, the only one I think I've ever watched
it with, I jokingly and overbearingly would pause the show
and say, just so you know, if a guy ever
(17:18):
does that to you, get out teachable moment right exactly,
and I'd throw a flag in the air and I'd
go red flag another one, red flag.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Love Island. Your pause button's gonna break.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
So I said to relatives, listen, we can watch this.
But it's my house and it's my remote control. So
if I find teaching moments, I'm going to take advantage
of them. Okay, that's not how they sound, but I'm
trying to disguise their voices so that nobody knows who
they are. So we get four seconds into the show
(17:53):
and I was like, pause, girls, those suits, those bathing
suits that they're just wearing all day, probably not great idea.
And second, they don't cover as much as you think
they cover, which maybe why they think they should wear it.
(18:13):
But it's a bit much.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Just if you haven't seen it.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
They are ass lists, bathing suit bottoms, they are the
string bikinis. Sure, yeah, so full ass exposure.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
And then the challenges Like I didn't even understand what
the challenges were meant to do, other than to foment
conflict between these people.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
And some girls had coupled up with guys, but then
they ended up making out with other guys.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Yeah, they couple them up right away, right out of
the gate. One of the first things is they couple
them up and then they start making out with each other,
and everyone's cool with it.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Like, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
I do not have the confidence to expose my ass
like that. I did not have the confidence twenty two
to expose my ass like that. I did not have
the confidence to still be interested in a guy that's
hooking up with my friends.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
I don't even think confidence is the right word. You
just shouldn't do it.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
The one positive, eugh, the one positive I had was
they're not on their phones the whole time.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Oh yeah, that is nice because they have to like
no social media at all.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
I like it.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
It's for me. It's like a sociology experiment. And again
I've only watched one, but how young people speak like
I've picked up on some of the phraseology, like that's
so glaze means like, oh, you're being fake, you're being overcomplimentary.
You know, he's being super glaze about her, or what
have you. I like learning new slang that the youth use.
(19:50):
It's kind of funny. It's okay to call your friend's bitches'.
That's done all the time. That's cool, that's not a
that's not a derogatory thing.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
But I can't, I shouldn't.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
I don't think so. I haven't gotten to that episode.
If that's okay.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Already. Automatox is the host.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
She was the one that was caught up in the
whole vander Pump Rules scandal cheating mess with her boyfriend.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
I missed out on that as well. I did not
pick it. Amazing to me that that's a career. She
has made this a career. Yeah, well, all right, more
of what you're watching.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
We come back, we'll talk about the Bear, we'll talk
about l e oh, we'll talk about mob Land, all
of that still to come.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
So I just googled men's speedo thong to see if
that was a thing.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
You're gonna want to burn That computer very much. Was
on Amazon.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
I could get one for like nine ninety nine, and
there was a part of me that was like I
should totally get this and send it to you before
your trip. And then I was like, that's so weird.
That's not even funny. Then it's just weird. But you
could get like there's different prints, like one of them
has like tropical flowers on it.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
No, no, no, one has turtles. I just want you
racing stripes. That's what I want, all right, let me
see what I can find.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Okay, like, where where are the stripes on the side
besides not an animal?
Speaker 6 (21:18):
Hike Garyan Shannon, I'm watching Fubar so funny and the
banter humor back and forth.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
It's it's really funny and cute. Have a good day.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Thank you, fu Bar. What about on Netflix is now
in season two? Well the American Flagwood Robin has suggested
that we find the one with the elephant.
Speaker 7 (21:40):
Hey, oh, Gary and Shadnon it's your boy Ario. If
you've ever seen that show called Entourage, pretty badass show.
There's another show called The Studio, similar but different, starring
Seth Rogan on Apple TV. It has to do with
the movie industry and how it gets made, how it
gets contracted, what they have to go through, all the
steps they need to take to get a movie done.
(22:02):
But it's funny, actors, everything that it's off. It's off
the chain. I just want to let you guys know,
if you haven't seen it, I.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Didn't get through. I got through six episodes.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
I got for the first episode and it just I
just wasn't super into it. You gotta really like Seth
row What about this one?
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Check out Waterfront? It's fabulous. Oh, I want to look at.
Speaker 6 (22:25):
That little Bloodline, which was also very good, by the way, Yes,
a little older, but a great series. Or Justified or
Animal Kingdom. Yeah, Waterfront, it's really good.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
That has a lot of publicity.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Netflix is selling that one hard number one show, all
the bits.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
It's it's Oh, what about this trailer for The Eagle.
That's fun, that's pretty funny. All right, I'm stop looking
at Men's Speedo the movie Alio.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Heather Brooker talked to us about on Friday, this new
Pixar movie. You had like the worst opening for Pixar ever.
You know why, No, I'm gonna ask you this, what's
it about? I have no idea that's their problem. And
I've read the synopsis at least twice. Well, there's nothing Listen.
Movies like Toy Story and Up and any other Pixar
movie that you can think of. The Incredibles like those
(23:21):
are easy to describe to someone.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Elio, what is it about? I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Ah, a boy who accidentally becomes Planet Earth's intergalactic ambassador
when he makes contact with aliens.
