Gary and Shannon discuss how quickly the year has passed and how the weekend seemed to fly by. Gary explains why he is out of the office today. Trump recently stated that he now "loves" Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle advertisement after discovering that she is a registered Republican. Additionally, there's a conversation about Reddit, which is considered one of the last thriving remnants of the old web. The question arises: can it survive the impact of AI?

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. I had one of those mornings
where my alarm went off six am, and I was
in deep dream land where it was a very vivid dream,
and which makes it harder for me at least to
wake up when I'm when my alarm goes off. If
(00:20):
I'm like deep in asleep in a dream, a vivid dream,
I am discombobulated for a while, like a.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Child, feel little drunk.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Was it one of those where the alarm sound was
integrated into the dream.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
No, but it's interesting, you said, it makes you feel
kind of drunk because in the dream I was drinking
champagne and I and I in the dream, I was
also waking up from having had drinking champagne and thinking, oh,
I feel like crap. So you're onto something there. But anyway,
here we are. It is Monday, August fourth, twenty twenty five.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Again, where the hell is the year? What I mean?
Speaker 2 (01:03):
When it hit?
Speaker 3 (01:04):
When Friday hit, it was the first of August. It
was one of those very sobering moments. But to then,
like you said, have the weekend fly by as quickly
as it did.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
You start on the fourth next thing, you know, Labor Day.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
I mean the preseason football is going to be not
next weekend, but the weekend after. Is that right, I
mean the other preseason football outside of the Hall of Fay.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Yes it is.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
It is this weekend, question mark, Yeah, it is this weekend. Wow,
the Saints are in town, I believe to take on
the Chargers. Anyway, this is the time of year where
I know what I'm doing today. I don't know about tomorrow.
I certainly don't know about Saturday or Sunday. We're going
to be talking about Reddit. Reddit has been around for
(01:48):
twenty years at least, but it is exploding, and the
more I talk to people, the more I hear about
Reddit these days, more so than I have ever before.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
And I was wondering if that's just the people I'm talking.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
To or what.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
No, it is not. It is bigger than it has
ever been.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
It went public last year and it's stockpice price popped.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
They're saying that it is fulfilling the promise of the Internet.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
So we'll get into that coming up later about Reddit,
and I think it's probably because it's real, as opposed
to most of the Internet now, which is not real.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
You've got Ai infiltrating everything.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
You've got filters all over social media and fake stories
and fake lives. Reddit seems to be a place where
you can connect with real people.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Well I noticed it when I was when we were
planning vacation. We were going to Maui.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
There were a lot of questions I had about, you know,
golf courses, which ones are available, which ones are good,
which ones are cheap, Where to travel you know, where
to go? What do you have to see when you're there,
and you can get you know, Bobby and Josie's vacation
tips list or something like that for Mauie. But for
some reason, Reddit, and I don't know if it's just
(03:08):
that it's the it's a text based I mean, it's
just it's an old fashioned Internet billboard basically where people
just say, hey, try this out. I hated this one,
try this one. I found a great deal here. It's just,
for some reason, strikes a more believable chord than some
of the other ways that you can find on information.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Yes, because you don't feel like you're being sold the
information that it's sponsored or somebody was paid to tell
you it's great exactly.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
We'll have to get to it a little bit later.
But I saw the Naked Gun movie last night.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Oh my gosh, I really want to see that. I
can't wait to hear your review. Now, did you to
have it be a fair review? Did you see the
previous iteration?
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Of course?
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Okay, and you enjoyed those well, yes, it was also
a different time, at a different time.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
You were older than I.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
I was young, and they do they do a nice job.
This isn't a reboot of the well, I guess you
could say it's a rebo it's a very long awaited sequel.
How's that to the original Naked Gun with Frank Dreben
Senior played by Leslie Nielsen of course, and Liam Neeson.
He surprised me, and I was very pleasantly surprised in
(04:22):
terms of his his performance in this. But it's not
great American cinema by any means. It is not a
great movie at all.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
No.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Well, it's not supposed to be a great movie. It's
supposed to be nosalgia and kitsch. And you know Liam
Neeson and Pamela Anderson in this fun does it come
off like there are a couple at all in real life.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
I guess. I mean, I could see how they like
each other, but I don't.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
Is it the boobs?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Is that?
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Why? Is that why?
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Which?
Speaker 3 (04:52):
I felt like that was a missed opportunity. They didn't
make any jokes about those.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
You know, it's funny in that. Uh, you and I
make boobs jokes all the time, right we uh, we
do it all the time. But we'll get to this
coming up next. But the amount of jokes about Sydney
Sweeney's boobs and all of this, it's crass, isn't it
(05:17):
When it's not us.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
It seems a little.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Crass when it's not us. We don't like we don't
like those jokes.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
We don't like outside people's boob jokes.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
To keep it in the family, Hey, tone.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
It down a little bit.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
That's a little bit much. It doesn't need to be
national discourse.
Speaker 6 (05:34):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
But this wasn't interesting because there was an interesting weekend
for President Trump.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
He had a he had a lot of stuff going on. Uh.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Not only did he fire the commissioner at the Bureau
of Labor Statistics, there was a member of the Fed
Reserve Open Committee who resigned and now people are starting
to question just like we did five years ago questioning
health officials, now we're going to start questioning economic officials
about what's going on with health of the economy.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Yay yah.
Speaker 7 (06:05):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
I am in Northern California.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
I actually have a very I'll talk more about it
tomorrow because I'm sure it's going to be incredible, But
there's a memorial service that I have to go to
this afternoon, or that I get to go to go
to sell however you want to put it. But a
young relative, thirteen year old was killed eight eight weeks ago,
(06:35):
seven weeks ago now, so we'll be in Tahoe this
afternoon for a memorial service. And one of the things
that they wanted to do for this memorial service was
dip take a dip in the lake because Giada always
loved swimming and had a goal that she was going
to swim every day of the summer. And so tonight
at sunset, we're supposed to jump into Lake Tahoe at
(06:58):
the where they're doing the the memorial. There was a
headline and I don't know if you would have seen
it in southern California. But there's a headline about a
sewage leak at a campground right next to where we're
supposed to go swimming tonight.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Well, so, yeah, it's all right.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
You've swum in sewage links many times in your life.
You just didn't know about it. It wasn't publicized. The whole
Pacific Ocean is a sewage leak. That is very that
is very. So they're doing it as a celebration. Oh yeah,
that's why.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Yeah, And it's you know again, it's a young she's thirteen.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
She was thirteen.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
She's got a couple older sisters who are also teenagers though,
so I mean there's gonna be there'll be a lot
of kids there, just in terms of a lot of
you know, junior high and high school kids that know
the family. And it's kind of a convoluted explanation. My
sister married her high school sweetheart. It's his sister's child,
(08:00):
so a sister in law removed once, however, it's described but.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
In the family forever, within the family.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Right and and in fact, I because I went to
school with her as well, she was the sister was
a year younger than I. Was in school, so we
had a lot of similar common friends, I should say,
So that'll be interesting too to see some of those
people tonight for an awful reason. I mean, it's a
it is a celebration of life, but it's still just
it's a heartbreaking to see the family go through that.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
At thirteen years old. That just sends ripples not only
her family, your family.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
But that is.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
That is something that touches every single person who knows
her or the family forever. There's something about youth being
cut down like that, losing their life that it just
stays with you because it's so unnatural. I'm watching the
new documentary on HBO, The Yogurt Shop Murders, four teenage
(09:02):
girls murdered at a yogurt shop in Austin, Texas in
nineteen ninety one, and the first episode kind of lays
that out. Is when a community loses a young person
like that. Now this was a murder, right, so it
adds another layer. But when a community loses a young
person like that, that's something you think about all the
time for the rest of your life. Is that young
(09:23):
girl that died. It's just and it alters your decisions
in terms of life being short and enjoying people around
you and enjoying everyone. It's just it's it's, like I said,
a son's ripples.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Well, and it's one of those things that all too
often we all have a story like that. You know,
we all have somebody who when you were in junior
high or high school died way too early, and it
was you know, sometimes it's a car accident that takes
a couple people. Sometimes it's you know, the unusual cancer
(09:58):
and a small child, and it's it's the early introduction
to death and to loss like that that I don't
think anybody really is prepared for. How do you even
how would you? How do you tell? How do you
tell a thirteen year old that their best friend is gone?
Speaker 2 (10:16):
I mean just gone.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
It's so you don't, you don't. It's something that never
crosses their minds. Yeah, there's not a day they didn't
wake up that that person wasn't there. You know, to
be there and then to not be there, it's just
it's really hard to wrap your mind around at any age,
but certainly at that age. I remember when I was
(10:39):
about twelve thirteen and come into school and everyone seeing
everyone was crying at the at the school that I
went to, outside the classrooms and the benches and girls
kind of huddled up. And it turns out one of
their brothers had come back from college nineteen years old
and they would go up on the Marine County Civic
Center roof and hang out.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
That's just that's what kids did.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
And no, you could get up there. I didn't either, okay.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
And I mean, if you know it, it's a like
it's a historical architectural landmark, the Mrion County Civic.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Center iconic right along the freeway.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Yeah, so there are several different roofs, not all of
them are the tippy top, but anyway, they he'd go
out there and they'd hang out whatever and have a
couple of beers.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
And he fell off the roof and died like the
night before.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
And this was one of those guys who was larger
than life all throughout school and high school and everything.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Very well connected family. They had five kids.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
You know, this is one of those family with tentacles
throughout the community, the Cold County and larger than life,
nineteen year old who had the whole world to take
on and just was going to just like that.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
And I mean I still think about it.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
I went to the County fair and earlier in July
and thought, oh, Mike Basso, this is where he died.
It's just it's just something that stays with everybody touched
by that, because again, it's so one natural for someone
so young to.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
Lose their life.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
So so yeah, that's so. It's an evening service or
is there a church element.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Or it's afternoon.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
It's at a place called Valhalla, which is supposed to
be a beautiful event venue. The family knows the people
at Valhalla, so they offered the use of the facility
for free. So yeah, but it'll be this afternoon, and
they're doing it with you know, they want everybody to
wear pink or bright colors, and they you know, they
were going to all eat Giata's favorite foods, which is
(12:35):
going to range from like spaghetti to nerd clusters or
you know, all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
So that's true. That'll be nice to be.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
As awful as it is, it's it should be pretty nice.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Yeah, and everyone has each other, so that's good.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
And I can't say that I'm looking forward to it,
but it is one of those things that as an
adult you realize you need that you need to have
some out of closure, you need to have some amount
of community. Yes, it's an opportunity for Giata's family to
see that everybody in the area is you know, this
(13:11):
was a big story. It sounds like Tahoe because it was,
like I said, the loss of a thirteen year old
who was this bright, shining, young, vibrant, you know, involved
athletic kid just cut down too quickly. Yeah, but anyway,
that'll be, that'll be later.
Speaker 7 (13:31):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
There's a bunch of stuff that went on over the
weekend with the president, and this is one of the
busier weekends. Although some of it matters and some of
it is just absolute fluff that has no bearing on anything.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
The fluff is getting outsized attention because it is ridiculous. Luckily,
none of this rose to my conscious level during the weekend.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
I got in the.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Office this morning and I thought, what the hell When
it comes to the press secretary stuff and the Sydney
Sweeney ad, when there's real things going on, those are
the two things that are getting the most talk and headlines.
Of course, because they're the most I don't want to
say scandalous, but.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Silly. They're silly.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
What I mean, here's okay, the Caroline Lovitt. She's the
White House Press secretary. She's twenty seven years old. She
is a firecracker. The President loves her because she's young
and she's pretty, and she's.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
Sure when he found out she was a Republican.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
No, No, that's that's the Sydney Sweeney part. I'm still
talking about Caroline.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Sorry, I get that confused, because I'm awful Caroline.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
She's become a star. It's that face, it's that brain,
it's those lips, the where they move. They move like
she's a machine gun. She's in a Jesus star and
she's great. She's a great person actually, but she's I
don't think anybody has ever had a better press secretary
than Caroline. She's been amazing.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Listen, if he said everything without saying the lips thing,
it probably would have been fine and nobody would have
made a big deal.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
And when you take it all in context, it's clear
that he's saying she speaks really well. She is a
machine gun when it comes to defending the president verbally,
that's what he means. You take a side in none
of the ride ups was the part where he said
she's a star. It was all about, Oh, I love her,
(15:36):
I love her lips, I love the way they move.
That's not what he said. It's and I hate doing this.
That's not what he said. That's not what he meant.
I know, and we get lambastard for it. But in
this case, give me the whole context. He's talking about
the fact that she is a rising star, she is
a public figure. I think she has a very hard job.
I think all the people who've come before her have
(15:57):
had very hard jobs in recent years, with the way
that politics is these days.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
She is she's very good at what she does.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
She's young and very good and unflappable, and that's what
it meant. And the fact that people are taking that
and making it all about how she looks or her lips,
sexualizing her, well, that's on you.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
Media, that's on you, because what.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
He's saying is she's really good at her job, and
for you to go on and sexualize it, you're doing.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Her no favors and factly, in fact, you're anti feminist.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
And furthermore, and therefore.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
This whole Sydney Sweeney thing right. And I quote off
of X.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
After BuzzFeed News came out X, somebody on X said
was about to make a whole YouTube video exploring Sidney
Swidney's Sidney Sweeney's choice is not defending her, but going
through her career contacts. And I just found out this
lady is an actual registered member of the Republican Party.
That verbiage is an actual registered member of the Republican Party.
(17:06):
That verbiage makes it sound like they're talking about the KKK,
that she's an.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Actual registered member.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
That makes it sound like the Republican Party is something
that is gross, that is illegal, or a moral or otherwise.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
People don't understand that.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
People think it's perfectly okay to look at the other
side and say you're bad for us, you're bad for
the country, you're bad for humanity, whatever.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
And that's I mean.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
We see it being played out in Texas with this
argument over redistricting and Democrats leaving the state to avoid
that and then pointing at Republicans and saying you're ruining democracy,
and the governor of Texas suggesting that he's going to
arrest these democratic lawmakers. We're not getting any we're not
making any progress when it comes to closing the gaps
of political division, because people think it's okay to write
(17:57):
stuff like that. President Trump was asked about Sidney Sweeney again.
Shame on the reporter for asking the question in the
first place. Shame on the President for responding to the question.
He should have just said, what do I good for her?
I hope she gets politically involved, that's all. But he
went so far as to say that he loves the
(18:18):
American Eagle genes ad that she was in. I thought
it was very creative myself, and American Eagle stock has
gone up like seventeen percent today as a result of
his comments about what a great what a great advertisement
it was, and how great Sydney Sweeney.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Sweeney is.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
All right, we'll talk more about this coming up in
Swamp Watch at eleven. Not about the silly parts, but
about the parts that actually meant something over the weekend.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
Maybe not as sexy as.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Talking about boobs and lips, but important for the country.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
But when we come.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Back, right, wait, wait, before we get away from that,
I just want to say I had never heard the word.
I'm sorry, the name Erica Mecontarfer, Meca Mecontarfer's that's the
name of the Bureau of Labor Statistics woman that was fired.
Macintarfer is one of the greatest last names I think
(19:14):
I've ever experienced.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Really, Macintarfer. It sounds like it's made up.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
You gotta get out more. We've got a guy on
the Chargers named Triquez.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
That's a name.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
That's a good kN re Quez Macintarfer.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
There you go.
Speaker 7 (19:34):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Mcintarfer is a name that had significant presence in the
early twentieth century in Indiana. In nineteen twenty, one, hundred
percent of the recorded macintarfer families in the USA. We're
living in Indiana.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
You wanted.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
I didn't say I necessarily wanted me. I was just
pointing out that I could tell you that mcintarfur was
an interesting, interesting name. Did you see any of the
baseball game in the NASCAR track.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
This this weekend?
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Major League Baseball tried to put together a game in Bristol, Tennessee,
and it rained mercilessly on Saturday, so they only got
about four outs into the game.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
They had to continue it yesterday.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Was that the first time they did that, The first
time they did it at a NASCAR track. Some of
the people referred to it as the fire Festival of baseball.
The food was bad, it took multiple shuttles just to
get to the to the field slash track. And then
once you got there, you know, it's ninety thousand people
in a NASCAR half mile loop. You can't see the game,
(20:51):
you are nowhere near the field. But it was, it
was unique. It was it was unique. I just don't
know if they're going to do that again.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Right it has about one hundred and eight million unique
visitors a day.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
It's right up there with Wikipedia.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
If you're going to take away the social apps, it's
right up there with Wikipedia. In twenty twenty four, Reddit,
when public it's stock price popped, revenue is way up.
I mean, this is after years of losses. It's been
around for twenty years, but right now it seems to
be having a moment.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Reddit.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
I'm wondering if it's trendiness will work against it because
Reddit seems to be one of those places where real
people go to talk online about real things. Nothing is
an ad, nothing is filtered. It is a very rudimentary
way of communicating online.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
Well, I think when I was reading through this article
from The Intelligencer about this resurgence, it struck me that
we also often mentioned that younger kids, teenagers, younger, you know,
adolescents are moving away from smartphones and going straight to
the flip phones because or staying with the flip phones
(22:10):
because they know that there can be so many distractions
that smartphones themselves are almost too much computer for the
human brain to handle. And Reddit has always been faithful
to its origins. It's basically, at its core, one of
those old chat boards that existed on the Internet where
(22:33):
you just type in questions and people in the community
answer those questions. And the thing about Reddit is there's
probably millions of subreddits, you know, these different topics that
you can go down. But you know, outside of a
fake name, your pseudonym, whatever screen name you're going to use,
it is just real people help answering each other's questions
(22:55):
or telling stories.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Steven Huffman is Reddit's co founder.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Currency He says, when we started Reddit, it was a
web page of twenty five links from around the Internet.
Now twenty years later, you're stumbling into some thread where
people are telling stories they've never told before, and it
drifts into life advice for someone who lives two thousand
miles away. He says that social media made Reddit make
(23:21):
more sense, and I think now that the web is
kind of dying sadly, that evolution helps Reddit make more sense.
Reddit in that era is in this era is Reddit
is not AI. And that's a thing. I'm looking less
and less at Internet or looking for answers on the Internet,
whether it's Google or social media or otherwise, when I
(23:43):
am looking for a real life advice of products or
like you mentioned, golf courses, vacation things, because you don't
know what's real or not, or what's sponsored.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Yeah, and the companies at Google, Microsoft, Amazon, their AI
tool used to be kind of a feature that would
stand by itself, is now so integrated into what they
do that unless you're careful, that's all you're going to
look at.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
That's all you're going to see.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
And it's not just AI. Sometimes AI just makes things up.
Like we were talking about last week with the hallucinations,
you can't even trust AI to do its job. Sometimes
it just gets bored and likes to make things up
for the sake of it.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
It is a great Reddit is a great place.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
I used to I used to pooh poo it because
I was afraid that it was just a bunch of wackos,
you know, sniff at each other's burps.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
I guess I'll keep it clean.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
It's kind of like Ham Radio.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Ham Radio was good, yeah, very valuable at one point,
and then it got this weird kind of stink on
it that it was just these crazy guys in their
mother's basements doing Ham radio. And now we're going back
to Ham radio operat finding people lost in the forest.
Like we're realizing the benefit of the very rudimentary level
(25:09):
of communication that that is attractive to us, the way
the flip phone is attractive to us.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
That's a good point. Look at you with your analogies
these days.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
Well, thank you.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
I slept well and I dreamt of Chardonay and champagne,
and your your day is complete.
Speaker 6 (25:25):
Hearing Shannon, this is Dell in New York State. I
just wanted to say I listened to your gas Fix
during the weekend, and it was great to hear Shannon's
love for the game. I mean, you could hear it
in our voice. I appreciated that knowing that actually, and
I'm so sorry to hear about your relative prayers.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
So take care, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Yes, Gas Weekend Fix is the episode of the podcast
that does not appear during the regular during the rest
of the week. So if you subscribe to the podcast,
well that showed up. But if you don't subscribe to
the podcast, you should go and wherever you listen to
the podcast, just type in Gary and Shannon you'll see
that GAST Weekend Fix episode that showed up on Saturday.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
A huge ten o'clock hour.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Gavin Newsome sticking his California nose into the national conversation
yet again.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
We'll tell you what he's been up to.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
You've been listening to the Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
You can always hear us live on KFI AM six
forty nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday,
and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app. I had one of those mornings
where my alarm went off six am, and I was
in deep dream land where it was a very vivid dream,
and which makes it harder for me at least to
wake up when I'm when my alarm goes off. If
(00:20):
I'm like deep in asleep in a dream, a vivid dream,
I am discombobulated for a while, like a.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Child, feel little drunk.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Was it one of those where the alarm sound was
integrated into the dream.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
No, but it's interesting, you said, it makes you feel
kind of drunk because in the dream I was drinking
champagne and I and I in the dream, I was
also waking up from having had drinking champagne and thinking, oh,
I feel like crap. So you're onto something there. But anyway,
here we are. It is Monday, August fourth, twenty twenty five.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Again, where the hell is the year? What I mean?
Speaker 2 (01:03):
When it hit?
Speaker 3 (01:04):
When Friday hit, it was the first of August. It
was one of those very sobering moments. But to then,
like you said, have the weekend fly by as quickly
as it did.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
You start on the fourth next thing, you know, Labor Day.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
I mean the preseason football is going to be not
next weekend, but the weekend after. Is that right, I
mean the other preseason football outside of the Hall of Fay.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Yes it is.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
It is this weekend, question mark, Yeah, it is this weekend. Wow,
the Saints are in town, I believe to take on
the Chargers. Anyway, this is the time of year where
I know what I'm doing today. I don't know about tomorrow.
I certainly don't know about Saturday or Sunday. We're going
to be talking about Reddit. Reddit has been around for
(01:48):
twenty years at least, but it is exploding, and the
more I talk to people, the more I hear about
Reddit these days, more so than I have ever before.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
And I was wondering if that's just the people I'm talking.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
To or what.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
No, it is not. It is bigger than it has
ever been.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
It went public last year and it's stockpice price popped.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
They're saying that it is fulfilling the promise of the Internet.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
So we'll get into that coming up later about Reddit,
and I think it's probably because it's real, as opposed
to most of the Internet now, which is not real.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
You've got Ai infiltrating everything.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
You've got filters all over social media and fake stories
and fake lives. Reddit seems to be a place where
you can connect with real people.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Well I noticed it when I was when we were
planning vacation. We were going to Maui.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
There were a lot of questions I had about, you know,
golf courses, which ones are available, which ones are good,
which ones are cheap, Where to travel you know, where
to go? What do you have to see when you're there,
and you can get you know, Bobby and Josie's vacation
tips list or something like that for Mauie. But for
some reason, Reddit, and I don't know if it's just
(03:08):
that it's the it's a text based I mean, it's
just it's an old fashioned Internet billboard basically where people
just say, hey, try this out. I hated this one,
try this one. I found a great deal here. It's just,
for some reason, strikes a more believable chord than some
of the other ways that you can find on information.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Yes, because you don't feel like you're being sold the
information that it's sponsored or somebody was paid to tell
you it's great exactly.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
We'll have to get to it a little bit later.
But I saw the Naked Gun movie last night.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Oh my gosh, I really want to see that. I
can't wait to hear your review. Now, did you to
have it be a fair review? Did you see the
previous iteration?
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Of course?
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Okay, and you enjoyed those well, yes, it was also
a different time, at a different time.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
You were older than I.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
I was young, and they do they do a nice job.
This isn't a reboot of the well, I guess you
could say it's a rebo it's a very long awaited sequel.
How's that to the original Naked Gun with Frank Dreben
Senior played by Leslie Nielsen of course, and Liam Neeson.
He surprised me, and I was very pleasantly surprised in
(04:22):
terms of his his performance in this. But it's not
great American cinema by any means. It is not a
great movie at all.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
No.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Well, it's not supposed to be a great movie. It's
supposed to be nosalgia and kitsch. And you know Liam
Neeson and Pamela Anderson in this fun does it come
off like there are a couple at all in real life.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
I guess. I mean, I could see how they like
each other, but I don't.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
Is it the boobs?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Is that?
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Why? Is that why?
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Which?
Speaker 3 (04:52):
I felt like that was a missed opportunity. They didn't
make any jokes about those.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
You know, it's funny in that. Uh, you and I
make boobs jokes all the time, right we uh, we
do it all the time. But we'll get to this
coming up next. But the amount of jokes about Sydney
Sweeney's boobs and all of this, it's crass, isn't it
(05:17):
When it's not us.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
It seems a little.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Crass when it's not us. We don't like we don't
like those jokes.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
We don't like outside people's boob jokes.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
To keep it in the family, Hey, tone.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
It down a little bit.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
That's a little bit much. It doesn't need to be
national discourse.
Speaker 6 (05:34):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
But this wasn't interesting because there was an interesting weekend
for President Trump.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
He had a he had a lot of stuff going on. Uh.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Not only did he fire the commissioner at the Bureau
of Labor Statistics, there was a member of the Fed
Reserve Open Committee who resigned and now people are starting
to question just like we did five years ago questioning
health officials, now we're going to start questioning economic officials
about what's going on with health of the economy.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Yay yah.
Speaker 7 (06:05):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
I am in Northern California.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
I actually have a very I'll talk more about it
tomorrow because I'm sure it's going to be incredible, But
there's a memorial service that I have to go to
this afternoon, or that I get to go to go
to sell however you want to put it. But a
young relative, thirteen year old was killed eight eight weeks ago,
(06:35):
seven weeks ago now, so we'll be in Tahoe this
afternoon for a memorial service. And one of the things
that they wanted to do for this memorial service was
dip take a dip in the lake because Giada always
loved swimming and had a goal that she was going
to swim every day of the summer. And so tonight
at sunset, we're supposed to jump into Lake Tahoe at
(06:58):
the where they're doing the the memorial. There was a
headline and I don't know if you would have seen
it in southern California. But there's a headline about a
sewage leak at a campground right next to where we're
supposed to go swimming tonight.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Well, so, yeah, it's all right.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
You've swum in sewage links many times in your life.
You just didn't know about it. It wasn't publicized. The whole
Pacific Ocean is a sewage leak. That is very that
is very. So they're doing it as a celebration. Oh yeah,
that's why.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Yeah, And it's you know again, it's a young she's thirteen.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
She was thirteen.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
She's got a couple older sisters who are also teenagers though,
so I mean there's gonna be there'll be a lot
of kids there, just in terms of a lot of
you know, junior high and high school kids that know
the family. And it's kind of a convoluted explanation. My
sister married her high school sweetheart. It's his sister's child,
(08:00):
so a sister in law removed once, however, it's described but.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
In the family forever, within the family.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Right and and in fact, I because I went to
school with her as well, she was the sister was
a year younger than I. Was in school, so we
had a lot of similar common friends, I should say,
So that'll be interesting too to see some of those
people tonight for an awful reason. I mean, it's a
it is a celebration of life, but it's still just
it's a heartbreaking to see the family go through that.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
At thirteen years old. That just sends ripples not only
her family, your family.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
But that is.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
That is something that touches every single person who knows
her or the family forever. There's something about youth being
cut down like that, losing their life that it just
stays with you because it's so unnatural. I'm watching the
new documentary on HBO, The Yogurt Shop Murders, four teenage
(09:02):
girls murdered at a yogurt shop in Austin, Texas in
nineteen ninety one, and the first episode kind of lays
that out. Is when a community loses a young person
like that. Now this was a murder, right, so it
adds another layer. But when a community loses a young
person like that, that's something you think about all the
time for the rest of your life. Is that young
(09:23):
girl that died. It's just and it alters your decisions
in terms of life being short and enjoying people around
you and enjoying everyone. It's just it's it's, like I said,
a son's ripples.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Well, and it's one of those things that all too
often we all have a story like that. You know,
we all have somebody who when you were in junior
high or high school died way too early, and it
was you know, sometimes it's a car accident that takes
a couple people. Sometimes it's you know, the unusual cancer
(09:58):
and a small child, and it's it's the early introduction
to death and to loss like that that I don't
think anybody really is prepared for. How do you even
how would you? How do you tell? How do you
tell a thirteen year old that their best friend is gone?
Speaker 2 (10:16):
I mean just gone.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
It's so you don't, you don't. It's something that never
crosses their minds. Yeah, there's not a day they didn't
wake up that that person wasn't there. You know, to
be there and then to not be there, it's just
it's really hard to wrap your mind around at any age,
but certainly at that age. I remember when I was
(10:39):
about twelve thirteen and come into school and everyone seeing
everyone was crying at the at the school that I
went to, outside the classrooms and the benches and girls
kind of huddled up. And it turns out one of
their brothers had come back from college nineteen years old
and they would go up on the Marine County Civic
Center roof and hang out.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
That's just that's what kids did.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
And no, you could get up there. I didn't either, okay.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
And I mean, if you know it, it's a like
it's a historical architectural landmark, the Mrion County Civic.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Center iconic right along the freeway.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Yeah, so there are several different roofs, not all of
them are the tippy top, but anyway, they he'd go
out there and they'd hang out whatever and have a
couple of beers.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
And he fell off the roof and died like the
night before.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
And this was one of those guys who was larger
than life all throughout school and high school and everything.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Very well connected family. They had five kids.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
You know, this is one of those family with tentacles
throughout the community, the Cold County and larger than life,
nineteen year old who had the whole world to take
on and just was going to just like that.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
And I mean I still think about it.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
I went to the County fair and earlier in July
and thought, oh, Mike Basso, this is where he died.
It's just it's just something that stays with everybody touched
by that, because again, it's so one natural for someone
so young to.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
Lose their life.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
So so yeah, that's so. It's an evening service or
is there a church element.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Or it's afternoon.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
It's at a place called Valhalla, which is supposed to
be a beautiful event venue. The family knows the people
at Valhalla, so they offered the use of the facility
for free. So yeah, but it'll be this afternoon, and
they're doing it with you know, they want everybody to
wear pink or bright colors, and they you know, they
were going to all eat Giata's favorite foods, which is
(12:35):
going to range from like spaghetti to nerd clusters or
you know, all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
So that's true. That'll be nice to be.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
As awful as it is, it's it should be pretty nice.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Yeah, and everyone has each other, so that's good.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
And I can't say that I'm looking forward to it,
but it is one of those things that as an
adult you realize you need that you need to have
some out of closure, you need to have some amount
of community. Yes, it's an opportunity for Giata's family to
see that everybody in the area is you know, this
(13:11):
was a big story. It sounds like Tahoe because it was,
like I said, the loss of a thirteen year old
who was this bright, shining, young, vibrant, you know, involved
athletic kid just cut down too quickly. Yeah, but anyway,
that'll be, that'll be later.
Speaker 7 (13:31):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
There's a bunch of stuff that went on over the
weekend with the president, and this is one of the
busier weekends. Although some of it matters and some of
it is just absolute fluff that has no bearing on anything.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
The fluff is getting outsized attention because it is ridiculous. Luckily,
none of this rose to my conscious level during the weekend.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
I got in the.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Office this morning and I thought, what the hell When
it comes to the press secretary stuff and the Sydney
Sweeney ad, when there's real things going on, those are
the two things that are getting the most talk and headlines.
Of course, because they're the most I don't want to
say scandalous, but.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Silly. They're silly.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
What I mean, here's okay, the Caroline Lovitt. She's the
White House Press secretary. She's twenty seven years old. She
is a firecracker. The President loves her because she's young
and she's pretty, and she's.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
Sure when he found out she was a Republican.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
No, No, that's that's the Sydney Sweeney part. I'm still
talking about Caroline.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Sorry, I get that confused, because I'm awful Caroline.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
She's become a star. It's that face, it's that brain,
it's those lips, the where they move. They move like
she's a machine gun. She's in a Jesus star and
she's great. She's a great person actually, but she's I
don't think anybody has ever had a better press secretary
than Caroline. She's been amazing.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Listen, if he said everything without saying the lips thing,
it probably would have been fine and nobody would have
made a big deal.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
And when you take it all in context, it's clear
that he's saying she speaks really well. She is a
machine gun when it comes to defending the president verbally,
that's what he means. You take a side in none
of the ride ups was the part where he said
she's a star. It was all about, Oh, I love her,
(15:36):
I love her lips, I love the way they move.
That's not what he said. It's and I hate doing this.
That's not what he said. That's not what he meant.
I know, and we get lambastard for it. But in
this case, give me the whole context. He's talking about
the fact that she is a rising star, she is
a public figure. I think she has a very hard job.
I think all the people who've come before her have
(15:57):
had very hard jobs in recent years, with the way
that politics is these days.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
She is she's very good at what she does.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
She's young and very good and unflappable, and that's what
it meant. And the fact that people are taking that
and making it all about how she looks or her lips,
sexualizing her, well, that's on you.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
Media, that's on you, because what.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
He's saying is she's really good at her job, and
for you to go on and sexualize it, you're doing.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Her no favors and factly, in fact, you're anti feminist.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
And furthermore, and therefore.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
This whole Sydney Sweeney thing right. And I quote off
of X.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
After BuzzFeed News came out X, somebody on X said
was about to make a whole YouTube video exploring Sidney
Swidney's Sidney Sweeney's choice is not defending her, but going
through her career contacts. And I just found out this
lady is an actual registered member of the Republican Party.
That verbiage is an actual registered member of the Republican Party.
(17:06):
That verbiage makes it sound like they're talking about the KKK,
that she's an.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Actual registered member.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
That makes it sound like the Republican Party is something
that is gross, that is illegal, or a moral or otherwise.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
People don't understand that.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
People think it's perfectly okay to look at the other
side and say you're bad for us, you're bad for
the country, you're bad for humanity, whatever.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
And that's I mean.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
We see it being played out in Texas with this
argument over redistricting and Democrats leaving the state to avoid
that and then pointing at Republicans and saying you're ruining democracy,
and the governor of Texas suggesting that he's going to
arrest these democratic lawmakers. We're not getting any we're not
making any progress when it comes to closing the gaps
of political division, because people think it's okay to write
(17:57):
stuff like that. President Trump was asked about Sidney Sweeney again.
Shame on the reporter for asking the question in the
first place. Shame on the President for responding to the question.
He should have just said, what do I good for her?
I hope she gets politically involved, that's all. But he
went so far as to say that he loves the
(18:18):
American Eagle genes ad that she was in. I thought
it was very creative myself, and American Eagle stock has
gone up like seventeen percent today as a result of
his comments about what a great what a great advertisement
it was, and how great Sydney Sweeney.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Sweeney is.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
All right, we'll talk more about this coming up in
Swamp Watch at eleven. Not about the silly parts, but
about the parts that actually meant something over the weekend.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
Maybe not as sexy as.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Talking about boobs and lips, but important for the country.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
But when we come.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Back, right, wait, wait, before we get away from that,
I just want to say I had never heard the word.
I'm sorry, the name Erica Mecontarfer, Meca Mecontarfer's that's the
name of the Bureau of Labor Statistics woman that was fired.
Macintarfer is one of the greatest last names I think
(19:14):
I've ever experienced.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Really, Macintarfer. It sounds like it's made up.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
You gotta get out more. We've got a guy on
the Chargers named Triquez.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
That's a name.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
That's a good kN re Quez Macintarfer.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
There you go.
Speaker 7 (19:34):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Mcintarfer is a name that had significant presence in the
early twentieth century in Indiana. In nineteen twenty, one, hundred
percent of the recorded macintarfer families in the USA. We're
living in Indiana.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
You wanted.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
I didn't say I necessarily wanted me. I was just
pointing out that I could tell you that mcintarfur was
an interesting, interesting name. Did you see any of the
baseball game in the NASCAR track.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
This this weekend?
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Major League Baseball tried to put together a game in Bristol, Tennessee,
and it rained mercilessly on Saturday, so they only got
about four outs into the game.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
They had to continue it yesterday.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Was that the first time they did that, The first
time they did it at a NASCAR track. Some of
the people referred to it as the fire Festival of baseball.
The food was bad, it took multiple shuttles just to
get to the to the field slash track. And then
once you got there, you know, it's ninety thousand people
in a NASCAR half mile loop. You can't see the game,
(20:51):
you are nowhere near the field. But it was, it
was unique. It was it was unique. I just don't
know if they're going to do that again.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Right it has about one hundred and eight million unique
visitors a day.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
It's right up there with Wikipedia.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
If you're going to take away the social apps, it's
right up there with Wikipedia. In twenty twenty four, Reddit,
when public it's stock price popped, revenue is way up.
I mean, this is after years of losses. It's been
around for twenty years, but right now it seems to
be having a moment.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Reddit.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
I'm wondering if it's trendiness will work against it because
Reddit seems to be one of those places where real
people go to talk online about real things. Nothing is
an ad, nothing is filtered. It is a very rudimentary
way of communicating online.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
Well, I think when I was reading through this article
from The Intelligencer about this resurgence, it struck me that
we also often mentioned that younger kids, teenagers, younger, you know,
adolescents are moving away from smartphones and going straight to
the flip phones because or staying with the flip phones
(22:10):
because they know that there can be so many distractions
that smartphones themselves are almost too much computer for the
human brain to handle. And Reddit has always been faithful
to its origins. It's basically, at its core, one of
those old chat boards that existed on the Internet where
(22:33):
you just type in questions and people in the community
answer those questions. And the thing about Reddit is there's
probably millions of subreddits, you know, these different topics that
you can go down. But you know, outside of a
fake name, your pseudonym, whatever screen name you're going to use,
it is just real people help answering each other's questions
(22:55):
or telling stories.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Steven Huffman is Reddit's co founder.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Currency He says, when we started Reddit, it was a
web page of twenty five links from around the Internet.
Now twenty years later, you're stumbling into some thread where
people are telling stories they've never told before, and it
drifts into life advice for someone who lives two thousand
miles away. He says that social media made Reddit make
(23:21):
more sense, and I think now that the web is
kind of dying sadly, that evolution helps Reddit make more sense.
Reddit in that era is in this era is Reddit
is not AI. And that's a thing. I'm looking less
and less at Internet or looking for answers on the Internet,
whether it's Google or social media or otherwise, when I
(23:43):
am looking for a real life advice of products or
like you mentioned, golf courses, vacation things, because you don't
know what's real or not, or what's sponsored.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Yeah, and the companies at Google, Microsoft, Amazon, their AI
tool used to be kind of a feature that would
stand by itself, is now so integrated into what they
do that unless you're careful, that's all you're going to
look at.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
That's all you're going to see.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
And it's not just AI. Sometimes AI just makes things up.
Like we were talking about last week with the hallucinations,
you can't even trust AI to do its job. Sometimes
it just gets bored and likes to make things up
for the sake of it.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
It is a great Reddit is a great place.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
I used to I used to pooh poo it because
I was afraid that it was just a bunch of wackos,
you know, sniff at each other's burps.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
I guess I'll keep it clean.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
It's kind of like Ham Radio.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Ham Radio was good, yeah, very valuable at one point,
and then it got this weird kind of stink on
it that it was just these crazy guys in their
mother's basements doing Ham radio. And now we're going back
to Ham radio operat finding people lost in the forest.
Like we're realizing the benefit of the very rudimentary level
(25:09):
of communication that that is attractive to us, the way
the flip phone is attractive to us.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
That's a good point. Look at you with your analogies
these days.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
Well, thank you.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
I slept well and I dreamt of Chardonay and champagne,
and your your day is complete.
Speaker 6 (25:25):
Hearing Shannon, this is Dell in New York State. I
just wanted to say I listened to your gas Fix
during the weekend, and it was great to hear Shannon's
love for the game. I mean, you could hear it
in our voice. I appreciated that knowing that actually, and
I'm so sorry to hear about your relative prayers.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
So take care, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 3 (25:52):

Speaker 1 (26:15):
Gavin Newsome sticking his California nose into the national conversation
yet again.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
