Nice to be back.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Uh then, what what do you do for the weekend?
Are you just gonna sit around and watch football and

Or yes, but we have a girl's day tomorrow. I
told I told Beg, I call her baby. That's baby girl.
Speaker 5 (00:30):
Just call her Sloan.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Well, before we knew what you name, before we knew, uh,
you know what we were going to name.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
Her, it was Beg. We just called her Beg And
it's stuck a little bit. But now I call her
Sloaney too. Sloaney morony.
Speaker 5 (00:47):
You feel a little nauseous.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
But anyway, my husband is going to the USC football game. Tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Oh great, Yes, so it's uh, it's the two of
us gonna have a girl's day.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
I told her, we're gonna go the spa.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
Maybe you get some facials, massages, maybe a couple of mimosas,
go get our nails done.
Speaker 5 (01:04):
She's a big pedicure fan.
Speaker 6 (01:06):
Oh, totally. Yeah, she loves it. Yeah. Later on in
the show, Shannon is going to join us. She is
in Brazil for tonight's Chargers game, and she's going to
join us. In the twelve o'clock hours, we get Gas
Fantasy four play underway for this season, which is where
you have the opportunity. There are four games that we've
picked out, four NFL games. You tell us who you
(01:28):
think is going to win each of those four games.
It's not as easy as it sounds, but we'll do that.
If you win four all four, you pick the winners,
we give you some Gary and Shannon show swag.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
Tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
I'm going to be out at the American Vision Windows
Showroom in see Me.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
Valley will be out there.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
They have a huge twenty fifth anniversary party from eleven
to three with a bunch of food and fun and prizes,
and I'll be there. Conway is going to be there,
Dean Sharp is going to be there. So we'd love
it if you would come on out. And then another
reminder that are News and Bruce. Our next News and
Bruce is coming up Monday, September twenty second at the
Bjay's Restaurant and brew House in West Covina. More details
(02:08):
about that as we get a little bit closer to
the actual date. Now, next hour, Heather Brooker is going
to join us. We're going to talk about entertainment, and
one of the things that we'll talk about with her
is a story that's been We were kind of saying
off the air that the movie business has never really
recovered from COVID, that people and streaming services got together
(02:31):
and decided to kill American movie theaters, and there are
attempts to bring movies back. Major summertime blockbusters are getting
a lot of a lot of publicity, perhaps more so
than we saw in the past. I think Top Gun, Maverick,
even Superman from earlier this summer, but they're not living
(02:55):
up to and not generating the income that.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
They used to, not even close.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
So we're seeing, for example, in twenty nineteen, the year
the summer before COVID in the world ended, they brought
in about two point six billion dollars. The top five
movies by revenue in the United States two point six
billion dollars. Now, you had a couple of superhero movies
(03:21):
in there, and then a couple of Disney movies. You
had Avengers and Spider Man. You had Aladdin, Toy Story
four and Lion King in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
And I said, not even close.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
But I suppose we did get close in twenty twenty two,
and that was in large part to top Gun Maverick.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Another Avengers movie, couple of Marvel movies, the Minions, Minions
was in there.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Jurassic World. That got us to two point four billion,
and then the year that Barbie entered our Sphee twenty
twenty three, dropped down to two point one billion. There
was another Guardians of the Galaxy, so we went lower,
went from two point six and twenty nineteen to two
(04:10):
point one and twenty twenty three, twenty twenty four same also.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
The two point one billion.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
And now we're almost done with twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
We can say that, right, we're more than halfway through
the year.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
Oh yeah, well especially during the summer.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Yeah right, so the summer blockbusters, we're at one point
six billion. We're a billion below and are you know,
I'm sorry, half a billion half a.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Billion now, And that's one of the things when we
talk about how much money it comes in for the
summer two point six billion just before the pandemic. Now,
we're back down to one point six billion, so a
billion short of that. The highest incomes when it comes
to these domestic movies in the summer, you're talking about
six billion, so three or four times what they are
(04:56):
right now is what they were peaking at in the
early part of the two thousands, like two thousand and three,
four five, they were bringing in six billion per summer.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
And I mean, we've seen it.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
In many different ways here in California, Southern California specifically
about how the movie and TV industry has on the
one hand suffered at the box office, but on the
other been supercharged by hundreds of productions that are done
for the streaming services, and how different you know that
money has kind of flowed over to the streaming services,
(05:32):
and those big blockbuster theater.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
Driven movies are kind of going by the wayside.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
In those blockbusters that we're talking about in the early
two thousands, they are things like what Ocean's eleven? Yeah,
A Mission Impossible, The.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Dark Night, and What's Funny is the same type of
movies right now, You're talking to adventure movies, superhero movies,
Disney movies.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
They're the ones that are driving the American box office.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
We'll talk with Heather more about that coming up next hour,
but I want to talk about also, speaking of streaming services,
there may be a physiological benefit to you sitting on
your butt watching TV shows, binging different TV shows. Why
it's good for you.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
He got me through maternity lead. Yeah, it got me
through maternity lead.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
It's good for you.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
Oh, Josh, what do you think is really upset?
Speaker 6 (06:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
But he's listening.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
Because that's the thing that he decided to.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Uh, that's what That's what sent him over the end.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
You know what.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
I didn't even hear that when you said that, when
he said.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
See, that's the other thing.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Yeah he did. I didn't hear that.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
I do hear when Shannon says Tuesday Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
And you know why I hear that.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
I love it because my grandmother, Grandma Nancy, she uh,
that's how she would pronounce it.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Yeah, Tuesday Wednesday.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
It's an homage to people of the past.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Yeah, And it makes me think of Grandma.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
And it makes it makes me laugh when people get
so owner, get get so owner, don't get it wrong
when they get ownership over something like the name of
a Marvel superheroes that you're gonna say onerous.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
I was, but that didn't make sense as Marla, you
are so cool.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
You were so bad ass for wearing red on Friday.
Speaker 7 (07:25):
Thank you?
Speaker 6 (07:26):
Oh super fat all my Marine Corps brothers and sisters who.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Are simple who ah, that's great.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
Thank the study.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
A study published in Acta Psychologica shows that people who
binge watch television shows or read books for extended periods
of time are more likely to engage in r I I,
which is retrospective imaginative involvement, which means continuing to think
(07:55):
about and mentally play with stories long after you finish them.
What's your all time favorite TV show that you've watched
or maybe multiple times you've watched?
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Oh gosh, put me on the spot multiple times, watched
all times?
Speaker 6 (08:11):
Back what you did in rehearsal? Oh we did in rehearsal.
Oh you're talking about Landman.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
No?
Speaker 2 (08:17):
No, I mean when we rehearsed the show earlier today
and your answer and that you don't remember.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
No, Okay, well say land Man.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Just incase apparently I don't have RII. You do not
my goodness.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
I was going to say though back in the day, Uh,
because I picked nineteen eighty eight for the music for
the bumps.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Family Ties. Really I love that show.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
That's interesting.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
So what did I say.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
I'm just kidding. I actually do rehearsal today.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
I was thinking because I recorded the podcast.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
Oh that's what.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
That's where my mind went.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Come on, now, According to research, we may draw on
the satisfying story elements from memory as a way to
cope with daily stressors and potentially are well viewing. They said,
rather than marathon viewing sessions as just mindless behavior, it's
actually these the consecutive consumption. This binge watching can help
(09:12):
you build richer mental models of stories that you can
later revisit when you're stressed.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
What did you like about Family Ties?
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (09:21):
I liked.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
I love Mallory. It just made me, I was gonna say,
feel good. I was a little girl, you know how
old as I was twelve? Sure, I just like the
dynamic of it all.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Yeah, it's funny that you have.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
So they also talk about the difference between a lighter
comedic show or a darker dramatic show and how it
affects your memory.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
They said that.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Stories that were primarily enjoyable comedies, adventures, sitcoms in this case,
tend to inspire simple mental replay. You can think of
the funny moments on the show, or the funny storylines perhaps,
but a more thought provoking narrative, I think Sopranos, Game
of Thrones, something darker inspires creative elaboration, such as imagining
(10:14):
alternative scenarios or backstories. They use the example of Harry Potter,
where you think about Harry Potter and you think what
would have happened if Dumbledore didn't die. Now, I don't
know what that means either, do I because I don't.
I never finished any of them. I don't know, but
that you if you're if you're watching those, what if
(10:35):
Game of Thrones didn't have dragons or I don't know,
just as an example, but that the funnier stories, you
think of the funny moments and replay those in your head,
as opposed to kind of expanding the universe of whatever
show you're watching.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Yeah, I mean the shows that I now that I'm
thinking about it.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
And one was mentioned here is during the pandemic, we
watched every single episode of Friends. Yeah, we went back
and literally started at episode one and watched the entire series. Relatable.
You love all the characters. I think about it often.
Another show not as new as that that still plays
(11:17):
and I still love it. Well, Modern Family. I love
that Golden Girls. Why because it takes me back to
my grandma.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
Yeah. Yeah, And there's the reason why it's comforting.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
I mean, it's so comforting.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
That's why we talked about earlier this week we did
what You Watch. On Wednesday, we talked about the new
TV the new Netflix sitcom Leanne, starring comedian Leanne Morgan,
because it's made in such a way that it reminds
you of the sitcoms from the late eighties and early
nineties classics. And it's Chuck LORI was the producer on it,
(11:48):
so I mean, it's that's his Baileywick. That's what kind
of show he makes. And they made it specifically. I
shouldn't say they did it intentionally, but they made a
show that reminds you so specifically of watching sitcoms back then.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Did you say Bailey Wick? Yeah, I had to google that.
Oh google Google.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
One's fear of operations or particular area of interest Bailey Wick,
Philip I got out of spelling something I did.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
That's what I learned on the Gary and Shannon Show. Folks,
can I call in sure?
Speaker 2 (12:30):
When we come back, we'll talk about how organized crime
rings are using tunnels and not a Vegas tunnel. It's
not a Seattle underground tunnels in the LA area to
get away with crime.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
Exclusive reporting to Fox eleven the reporter who uncovered this,
Mouthew Seed or if he will join us live.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Gas Fantasy for Play comes back in to focus this week.
In fact, today in the twelve o'clock hour, Shannon's going
to join us live from Brazil. She's down at sal Polo,
of course, for the Chargers game, which is tonight kickoff
just after five o'clock, and we're going to do our
first week of Gas Fantasy four play. You picked four
(13:18):
winners of the four NFL games that we choose from,
and if you win all four you pick correctly, you're
gonna win some Gary and Shannon Show swag. We don't
win anything if we get it, we just get bragging
rights in the office.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
We didn't even talk about what happened for last night's game, well,
the Eagles and the Cowboys.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Well outside of the I'm amazed that we're still doing
weather delia for football games. But the NFL is reviewing
this event where Dak Prescott got spit on by Jalen
Carter and he was ejected from the game right away
six seconds. Yeah, so it was stupid. He admitted it
(13:58):
was stupid. There are questions about whether Dak Prescott was
the first spinner who spit first, Han Solo or Greedo.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
We just don't know.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Well, it was a good game though, it was fun.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
The Eagles ended up winning twenty four twenty. Jenxiomy coach,
that's right.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
The whistleblower, a whistleblower, i should say, who works within
the Witty or Narrows Wreck area has come forward and
talked about the use of the tunnels in that area
as a crime ridden nest of people who are taking
cars down there, parting out the cars and selling it off,
selling everything off.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
Yeah, and we often see this with pursuit suspects. So
let's bring on my colleague from Fox eleven, Matthew Sedor
if he got this exclusive reporting for us last night
on Fox eleven, Matthew, thanks so much.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Great work.
Speaker 7 (14:49):
Yeah, I appreciate it, and yeah, this is a wild one.
When I first got the call, I really I couldn't
believe it, but after speaking law enforcement, they really couldn't
rule it out. So essentially, what's happening, according to this
whistleblower who works in this area, is these thieves are
stealing cars and then taking them to a tunnel along
the San Gabriel River and essentially leaving these cars there
(15:13):
because they can't be tracked by GPS under three feet
of concrete and soil. That's basically they disappear. And then
he says that these thieves are at night. They'll take
the cars out of the tunnel and drive them about
a mile and a half away, strip them for parts,
and then that's it. They sell them off and the
cars are likely found a day or two later by
(15:34):
this worker who's basically telling us that this is a
huge problem that's been going on.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
What are the Are the tunnels just drainage tunnels? I mean,
what actually are they used for?
Speaker 7 (15:44):
Yeah, this storm drain essentially, but it's big enough for
cars to drive in. And he says that this one
particular spot where it keeps happening. The tunnels go nine
or ten miles.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Yeah, And one of the pursuits that we covered recently,
I think it was a a work truck or something
actually went into one of these tunnels, and that suspect
in fact, did get away.
Speaker 7 (16:07):
Yeah, that suspect got away, and that was again, this
is the same exact tunnel that this whistleblower is talking
about from that police chase. And he's got pictures of
cars that he's discovered on this property. It's fifteen hundred
acres owned by the Feds, but he's got pictures of
cars that he's discovered that have been just cleared out
of all the expensive equipment inside too.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
And what does LAPD say I mean to me?
Speaker 4 (16:32):
When you know, watching you report last night, I thought, well,
if I'm LAPD, why am I not just going to
post up there and see what happens and at least
stop this from happening.
Speaker 7 (16:42):
Yeah, or at least put up some sort of like
surveillance on this one particular tunnel. But essentially they the
Sheriff's department told me that this has been a spot
used by the homeless for years and they've arrested people
for narcotics charges and other crimes. But and they've also
recovered stolen vehicles from there, so really they're not ruling
it out. They say that it's not an organized crime
(17:05):
ring per se that they're aware of.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
Though, isn't there a jurisdictional issue as well?
Speaker 2 (17:09):
I mean they're going to have to coordinate with a
federal government in some way or some aspect of the
federal government since it is that right, and it is
federal property, or at least it's the Army Corps of
Engineers has some control over it.
Speaker 7 (17:23):
Yeah, so it's all federal property. And there's a few
things going on because I think it's a couple of
different sectors of the La County Sheriff's Department as well.
It's Petera rivera Montebello. There's just a couple of different
areas and it's kind of right in the middle, so
it's almost the perfect spot for thieves if they're trying
to get away with something. And that appears to be
according to this whistleblower, what's going.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
On and you're reporting you said something of one of
the solutions that people want to see or this whistleblower
was to just cut off this tunnel.
Speaker 7 (17:56):
Yeah, he was thinking maybe you put some sort of
cover on it. And I've been reading the other comments
online and honestly, it seems like just looking at comments,
people are not really surprised with this area and what's
going on out there that this could be happening. But yeah,
you know those little traffic concrete barriers, maybe put one
of those right in the middle of the tunnel or
just something to prevent possible cars from going inside.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
We'll see where this goes, Matthew, great stuff.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
We appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
Thank you, Matthew. Tell people where they can follow you
and see the story.
Speaker 7 (18:27):
Yeah, so I have it up right now on my
x page. It's matt Seedorf. It's also on Facebook, Fox,
Fox eleven, Fox La, on Instagram, so all the platforms.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
I want Marla to call you Matt or Matthew.
Speaker 7 (18:41):
You know that's the question that everyone always asks. I
really I don't mind. I prefer Matthew, but you know,
the closest friends and family call me matt Ah.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
Anybody drop a Mattie on you every once in a while.
Speaker 7 (18:54):
Mattie Ice, Maddy Light, Yeah, all those.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
Since we're getting personal, I want our listeners to know
your new dad too, and he has now, what six
months six and a half month old son River.
Speaker 7 (19:08):
Yeah, seven month old River. A handful, but he's it's
so much fun, as you know.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Yeah, are you crying, Matt? It sounded a little whispy there, weepy?
All right, Matt, great stuff, Thank you again. All right,
thanks Matt seed Orf there from from Fox La.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Yeah, his little boy is so cute. Yeah, Sloany Maroney
has met a little river.
Speaker 6 (19:30):
Oh yeah, match, absolutely, they got a date this weekend.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Yeah, when we come back. The other thing we talked
about how binge watching is good for you. Apparently people
watching is good for you to be an incredible health.
I am a stare er. There are some incredible places
to watch. Airports are great. Sports arenas if you're seated,
are great. Vegas is great, Catlinburg. Disneyland's a perfect way
(19:57):
to pass. I mean, that's a e ticket ride. Just
why watching people at Disneyland.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
I'm just watching you right now.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Gary, good different, it's different, It's good for us. We'll
talk about that when we come back.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Late in the show, we do what you learned this
week on the Gary and Shannon Show, so leave us
a talkback message. So if you're listening on the app,
there's a little red button with a white microphone on it.
When you tap that little thing, it leaves us a
quick message and tell us what you learned this week
on the Gary and Shannon. So we'll do that before
we do our nine newsnugget you need to know, which
comes up right after we do our Gas Fantasy four
(20:38):
play back for the season.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
This is gonna be our first week.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
We'll tell you four NFL games that are coming up
this weekend, and you let us know who you think
is going to win each of those four games, and
if you pick the four games correctly, there's going to
be a prize in it for you.
Speaker 5 (20:53):
So do we know the prize? I'm not going to
tell you.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Okay, because you can just go into the office and
steal anything you wanted to. But Shannon will be calling
in also four Gas Fantasy four play because she is
in Brazil for tonight's Chargers game, which will come along
pregame at four o'clock tonight here on KFI and kickoff
just after five o'clock from south Bound.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
We'll talk to her in the twelve o'clock out.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
So we love watching other people, right, I mean, that's
what our entertainment is for the most part, is watching
TV shows about other people, watching sports, competitions between other people,
and just sometimes sitting and watching people walk. One of
the greatest aspects of a vacation that my wife and
(21:41):
I took just about a year ago was in Gatlinburg, Tennessee.
Very touristy. It's like the Southern Vegas without the gambling, okay,
because there's that main drag through town, a bunch of
different bars and honky tonks and gift shops and things
that you you sit, you know, in and out a
(22:02):
little bit like Nashville more Woodsy okay, but just sitting
and watching people is fascinating. It's where and it's that
now we know it's not just because we're voyeurs. It's
not just because we like to make up stories about
that couple over there or that family over there, or
why are those two women talking to each other. It's
(22:24):
because it's innate. It's a it's driven in our DNA
to watch and observe other other creatures that are just
like us.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Yeah, so you just alluded to it.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
I go a step further and narrate conversations that people
are having all the time.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Are you when you walk around the neighborhood though, do
you also peek in people's homes?
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (22:45):
Are your sad?
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Okay, I'm totally that person.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
If you live in a neighborhood where there are big
open windows in the front of the house, yep, my
wife will uh yeah, she loves just to see just
and it's more of a oh, she's not being nosy.
It's just like she's looking at like design choices. And
I'm not sure i'd put a picture like that of
visible to the streets right, you know, or I'd put
curtains up or something like that.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
As Sloaney and I we went for a walk the
other day.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
I took a street I hadn't been down before, and
there is a condo and lower level all glass, and
I saw one of.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Those skip hop.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
We caught a PlayStation for Sloan a little. In other words,
they had toys for kids.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Oh, baby stuff, baby stuff, thank you, baby plastics.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
I'm making it more complicated than it needs to be anyway.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
So then there's Dad sitting at a table, beautifully lit condo,
and I'm looking up, I'm staring at him. I'm thinking
about everything that's going on inside their household. It's relatable,
it's nice.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
I like it.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
There was a study out of UC Santa Barbara where
a social psychologist developmental psychologist studied how human children between
four and six years old and adult chimpanzee responded to
certain videos showing members of their respective species. And this study,
published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society b everybody
(24:05):
gets their copy, probably in the mail today, shows that
both groups preferred watching social interactions over scenes involving solitary individuals,
even foregoing the small rewards. If they were just to
look at one person, you're much more inclined to people
watch as opposed to person watch. There's something about the
(24:29):
group dynamic that interests us to the point where we
will go out of our way to watch it.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
Now, there was one different differentiator between the kids and
the chimps. So among the children, the researchers noticed another pattern.
As they grew older, boys became increasingly interested in watching
scenes of social conflict such as fall yep Tega, war
over toys or I love this. One child crying while
(24:56):
another yelled. Chaos. Girls, however, developed a stronger preference for
positive interactions, such as play or hair grooming.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Think of how social media uses that innate wiring. It's
the algorithm, yeah, to attract and keep people.
Speaker 5 (25:16):
I mean, that's that's how you get it.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Guys like to watch dumb pratfalls or fights or you
know that. Like you said, this conflict and the the
I was mentioning the other day my wife watching my
daughter put makeup on. She was talking to us while
she happened to be putting it. But it was a fascinating.
It's just a thing that you are drawn to. You
(25:40):
can't control it. Well, No, And there.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
Are plenty of spaces on YouTube where there are makeup
tutorials where these makeup artists make tons of money because
people like your wife and myself will go on there
and watch it.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
Just for a smoky eye.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
That's that's it. How do I do with mine? Today?
Speaker 5 (25:59):
That's fine? Yeah, we'll think. Yeah, I don't know, how
would I ever judge what You're great?
Speaker 4 (26:07):
Yes, pulling meliments start start pouring.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
In fishing, you call fishing.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
You've got to be in here with me, and they're
sticking up for you, and I get it.
Speaker 5 (26:18):
They're very nice people.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Now, it's too early for smoky eyes in all honesty.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
You too early a day or too early in the season.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Too early in the day. Okay, yeah, I mean a
little lighter. I did a little like gold.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
What about mine? Yeah, you're like, my eyelids are starting
to droop over.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Yeah, it brings out the blue in your eyes.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
It does not looks nice. Thanks, uh, swamp watch when
we come back to Gary and Shannon.

Speaker 3 (00:14):
Nice to be back.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Uh then, what what do you do for the weekend?
Are you just gonna sit around and watch football and
your baby the whole time?
Speaker 4 (00:21):
Or yes, but we have a girl's day tomorrow. I
told I told Beg, I call her baby. That's baby girl.
Speaker 5 (00:30):
Just call her Sloan.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Well, before we knew what you name, before we knew, uh,
you know what we were going to name.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
Her, it was Beg. We just called her Beg And
it's stuck a little bit. But now I call her
Sloaney too. Sloaney morony.
Speaker 5 (00:47):
You feel a little nauseous.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
But anyway, my husband is going to the USC football game. Tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Oh great, Yes, so it's uh, it's the two of
us gonna have a girl's day.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
I told her, we're gonna go the spa.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
Maybe you get some facials, massages, maybe a couple of mimosas,
go get our nails done.
Speaker 5 (01:04):
She's a big pedicure fan.
Speaker 6 (01:06):
Oh, totally. Yeah, she loves it. Yeah. Later on in
the show, Shannon is going to join us. She is
in Brazil for tonight's Chargers game, and she's going to
join us. In the twelve o'clock hours, we get Gas
Fantasy four play underway for this season, which is where
you have the opportunity. There are four games that we've
picked out, four NFL games. You tell us who you
(01:28):
think is going to win each of those four games.
It's not as easy as it sounds, but we'll do that.
If you win four all four, you pick the winners,
we give you some Gary and Shannon show swag.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
Tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
I'm going to be out at the American Vision Windows
Showroom in see Me.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
Valley will be out there.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
They have a huge twenty fifth anniversary party from eleven
to three with a bunch of food and fun and prizes,
and I'll be there. Conway is going to be there,
Dean Sharp is going to be there. So we'd love
it if you would come on out. And then another
reminder that are News and Bruce. Our next News and
Bruce is coming up Monday, September twenty second at the
Bjay's Restaurant and brew House in West Covina. More details
(02:08):
about that as we get a little bit closer to
the actual date. Now, next hour, Heather Brooker is going
to join us. We're going to talk about entertainment, and
one of the things that we'll talk about with her
is a story that's been We were kind of saying
off the air that the movie business has never really
recovered from COVID, that people and streaming services got together
(02:31):
and decided to kill American movie theaters, and there are
attempts to bring movies back. Major summertime blockbusters are getting
a lot of a lot of publicity, perhaps more so
than we saw in the past. I think Top Gun, Maverick,
even Superman from earlier this summer, but they're not living
(02:55):
up to and not generating the income that.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
They used to, not even close.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
So we're seeing, for example, in twenty nineteen, the year
the summer before COVID in the world ended, they brought
in about two point six billion dollars. The top five
movies by revenue in the United States two point six
billion dollars. Now, you had a couple of superhero movies
(03:21):
in there, and then a couple of Disney movies. You
had Avengers and Spider Man. You had Aladdin, Toy Story
four and Lion King in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
And I said, not even close.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
But I suppose we did get close in twenty twenty two,
and that was in large part to top Gun Maverick.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Another Avengers movie, couple of Marvel movies, the Minions, Minions
was in there.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Jurassic World. That got us to two point four billion,
and then the year that Barbie entered our Sphee twenty
twenty three, dropped down to two point one billion. There
was another Guardians of the Galaxy, so we went lower,
went from two point six and twenty nineteen to two
(04:10):
point one and twenty twenty three, twenty twenty four same also.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
The two point one billion.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
And now we're almost done with twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
We can say that, right, we're more than halfway through
the year.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
Oh yeah, well especially during the summer.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Yeah right, so the summer blockbusters, we're at one point
six billion. We're a billion below and are you know,
I'm sorry, half a billion half a.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Billion now, And that's one of the things when we
talk about how much money it comes in for the
summer two point six billion just before the pandemic. Now,
we're back down to one point six billion, so a
billion short of that. The highest incomes when it comes
to these domestic movies in the summer, you're talking about
six billion, so three or four times what they are
(04:56):
right now is what they were peaking at in the
early part of the two thousands, like two thousand and three,
four five, they were bringing in six billion per summer.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
And I mean, we've seen it.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
In many different ways here in California, Southern California specifically
about how the movie and TV industry has on the
one hand suffered at the box office, but on the
other been supercharged by hundreds of productions that are done
for the streaming services, and how different you know that
money has kind of flowed over to the streaming services,
(05:32):
and those big blockbuster theater.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
Driven movies are kind of going by the wayside.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
In those blockbusters that we're talking about in the early
two thousands, they are things like what Ocean's eleven? Yeah,
A Mission Impossible, The.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Dark Night, and What's Funny is the same type of
movies right now, You're talking to adventure movies, superhero movies,
Disney movies.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
They're the ones that are driving the American box office.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
We'll talk with Heather more about that coming up next hour,
but I want to talk about also, speaking of streaming services,
there may be a physiological benefit to you sitting on
your butt watching TV shows, binging different TV shows. Why
it's good for you.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
He got me through maternity lead. Yeah, it got me
through maternity lead.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
It's good for you.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
Oh, Josh, what do you think is really upset?
Speaker 6 (06:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
But he's listening.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
Because that's the thing that he decided to.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Uh, that's what That's what sent him over the end.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
You know what.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
I didn't even hear that when you said that, when
he said.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
See, that's the other thing.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Yeah he did. I didn't hear that.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
I do hear when Shannon says Tuesday Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
And you know why I hear that.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
I love it because my grandmother, Grandma Nancy, she uh,
that's how she would pronounce it.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Yeah, Tuesday Wednesday.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
It's an homage to people of the past.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Yeah, And it makes me think of Grandma.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
And it makes it makes me laugh when people get
so owner, get get so owner, don't get it wrong
when they get ownership over something like the name of
a Marvel superheroes that you're gonna say onerous.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
I was, but that didn't make sense as Marla, you
are so cool.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
You were so bad ass for wearing red on Friday.
Speaker 7 (07:25):
Thank you?
Speaker 6 (07:26):
Oh super fat all my Marine Corps brothers and sisters who.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Are simple who ah, that's great.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
Thank the study.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
A study published in Acta Psychologica shows that people who
binge watch television shows or read books for extended periods
of time are more likely to engage in r I I,
which is retrospective imaginative involvement, which means continuing to think
(07:55):
about and mentally play with stories long after you finish them.
What's your all time favorite TV show that you've watched
or maybe multiple times you've watched?
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Oh gosh, put me on the spot multiple times, watched
all times?
Speaker 6 (08:11):
Back what you did in rehearsal? Oh we did in rehearsal.
Oh you're talking about Landman.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
No?
Speaker 2 (08:17):
No, I mean when we rehearsed the show earlier today
and your answer and that you don't remember.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
No, Okay, well say land Man.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Just incase apparently I don't have RII. You do not
my goodness.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
I was going to say though back in the day, Uh,
because I picked nineteen eighty eight for the music for
the bumps.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Family Ties. Really I love that show.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
That's interesting.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
So what did I say.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
I'm just kidding. I actually do rehearsal today.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
I was thinking because I recorded the podcast.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
Oh that's what.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
That's where my mind went.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Come on, now, According to research, we may draw on
the satisfying story elements from memory as a way to
cope with daily stressors and potentially are well viewing. They said,
rather than marathon viewing sessions as just mindless behavior, it's
actually these the consecutive consumption. This binge watching can help
(09:12):
you build richer mental models of stories that you can
later revisit when you're stressed.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
What did you like about Family Ties?
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (09:21):
I liked.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
I love Mallory. It just made me, I was gonna say,
feel good. I was a little girl, you know how
old as I was twelve? Sure, I just like the
dynamic of it all.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Yeah, it's funny that you have.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
So they also talk about the difference between a lighter
comedic show or a darker dramatic show and how it
affects your memory.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
They said that.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Stories that were primarily enjoyable comedies, adventures, sitcoms in this case,
tend to inspire simple mental replay. You can think of
the funny moments on the show, or the funny storylines perhaps,
but a more thought provoking narrative, I think Sopranos, Game
of Thrones, something darker inspires creative elaboration, such as imagining
(10:14):
alternative scenarios or backstories. They use the example of Harry Potter,
where you think about Harry Potter and you think what
would have happened if Dumbledore didn't die. Now, I don't
know what that means either, do I because I don't.
I never finished any of them. I don't know, but
that you if you're if you're watching those, what if
(10:35):
Game of Thrones didn't have dragons or I don't know,
just as an example, but that the funnier stories, you
think of the funny moments and replay those in your head,
as opposed to kind of expanding the universe of whatever
show you're watching.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Yeah, I mean the shows that I now that I'm
thinking about it.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
And one was mentioned here is during the pandemic, we
watched every single episode of Friends. Yeah, we went back
and literally started at episode one and watched the entire series. Relatable.
You love all the characters. I think about it often.
Another show not as new as that that still plays
(11:17):
and I still love it. Well, Modern Family. I love
that Golden Girls. Why because it takes me back to
my grandma.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
Yeah. Yeah, And there's the reason why it's comforting.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
I mean, it's so comforting.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
That's why we talked about earlier this week we did
what You Watch. On Wednesday, we talked about the new
TV the new Netflix sitcom Leanne, starring comedian Leanne Morgan,
because it's made in such a way that it reminds
you of the sitcoms from the late eighties and early
nineties classics. And it's Chuck LORI was the producer on it,
(11:48):
so I mean, it's that's his Baileywick. That's what kind
of show he makes. And they made it specifically. I
shouldn't say they did it intentionally, but they made a
show that reminds you so specifically of watching sitcoms back then.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Did you say Bailey Wick? Yeah, I had to google that.
Oh google Google.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
One's fear of operations or particular area of interest Bailey Wick,
Philip I got out of spelling something I did.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
That's what I learned on the Gary and Shannon Show. Folks,
can I call in sure?
Speaker 2 (12:30):
When we come back, we'll talk about how organized crime
rings are using tunnels and not a Vegas tunnel. It's
not a Seattle underground tunnels in the LA area to
get away with crime.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
Exclusive reporting to Fox eleven the reporter who uncovered this,
Mouthew Seed or if he will join us live.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Gas Fantasy for Play comes back in to focus this week.
In fact, today in the twelve o'clock hour, Shannon's going
to join us live from Brazil. She's down at sal Polo,
of course, for the Chargers game, which is tonight kickoff
just after five o'clock, and we're going to do our
first week of Gas Fantasy four play. You picked four
(13:18):
winners of the four NFL games that we choose from,
and if you win all four you pick correctly, you're
gonna win some Gary and Shannon Show swag. We don't
win anything if we get it, we just get bragging
rights in the office.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
We didn't even talk about what happened for last night's game, well,
the Eagles and the Cowboys.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Well outside of the I'm amazed that we're still doing
weather delia for football games. But the NFL is reviewing
this event where Dak Prescott got spit on by Jalen
Carter and he was ejected from the game right away
six seconds. Yeah, so it was stupid. He admitted it
(13:58):
was stupid. There are questions about whether Dak Prescott was
the first spinner who spit first, Han Solo or Greedo.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
We just don't know.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Well, it was a good game though, it was fun.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
The Eagles ended up winning twenty four twenty. Jenxiomy coach,
that's right.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
The whistleblower, a whistleblower, i should say, who works within
the Witty or Narrows Wreck area has come forward and
talked about the use of the tunnels in that area
as a crime ridden nest of people who are taking
cars down there, parting out the cars and selling it off,
selling everything off.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
Yeah, and we often see this with pursuit suspects. So
let's bring on my colleague from Fox eleven, Matthew Sedor
if he got this exclusive reporting for us last night
on Fox eleven, Matthew, thanks so much.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Great work.
Speaker 7 (14:49):
Yeah, I appreciate it, and yeah, this is a wild one.
When I first got the call, I really I couldn't
believe it, but after speaking law enforcement, they really couldn't
rule it out. So essentially, what's happening, according to this
whistleblower who works in this area, is these thieves are
stealing cars and then taking them to a tunnel along
the San Gabriel River and essentially leaving these cars there
(15:13):
because they can't be tracked by GPS under three feet
of concrete and soil. That's basically they disappear. And then
he says that these thieves are at night. They'll take
the cars out of the tunnel and drive them about
a mile and a half away, strip them for parts,
and then that's it. They sell them off and the
cars are likely found a day or two later by
(15:34):
this worker who's basically telling us that this is a
huge problem that's been going on.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
What are the Are the tunnels just drainage tunnels? I mean,
what actually are they used for?
Speaker 7 (15:44):
Yeah, this storm drain essentially, but it's big enough for
cars to drive in. And he says that this one
particular spot where it keeps happening. The tunnels go nine
or ten miles.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Yeah, And one of the pursuits that we covered recently,
I think it was a a work truck or something
actually went into one of these tunnels, and that suspect
in fact, did get away.
Speaker 7 (16:07):
Yeah, that suspect got away, and that was again, this
is the same exact tunnel that this whistleblower is talking
about from that police chase. And he's got pictures of
cars that he's discovered on this property. It's fifteen hundred
acres owned by the Feds, but he's got pictures of
cars that he's discovered that have been just cleared out
of all the expensive equipment inside too.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
And what does LAPD say I mean to me?
Speaker 4 (16:32):
When you know, watching you report last night, I thought, well,
if I'm LAPD, why am I not just going to
post up there and see what happens and at least
stop this from happening.
Speaker 7 (16:42):
Yeah, or at least put up some sort of like
surveillance on this one particular tunnel. But essentially they the
Sheriff's department told me that this has been a spot
used by the homeless for years and they've arrested people
for narcotics charges and other crimes. But and they've also
recovered stolen vehicles from there, so really they're not ruling
it out. They say that it's not an organized crime
(17:05):
ring per se that they're aware of.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
Though, isn't there a jurisdictional issue as well?
Speaker 2 (17:09):
I mean they're going to have to coordinate with a
federal government in some way or some aspect of the
federal government since it is that right, and it is
federal property, or at least it's the Army Corps of
Engineers has some control over it.
Speaker 7 (17:23):
Yeah, so it's all federal property. And there's a few
things going on because I think it's a couple of
different sectors of the La County Sheriff's Department as well.
It's Petera rivera Montebello. There's just a couple of different
areas and it's kind of right in the middle, so
it's almost the perfect spot for thieves if they're trying
to get away with something. And that appears to be
according to this whistleblower, what's going.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
On and you're reporting you said something of one of
the solutions that people want to see or this whistleblower
was to just cut off this tunnel.
Speaker 7 (17:56):
Yeah, he was thinking maybe you put some sort of
cover on it. And I've been reading the other comments
online and honestly, it seems like just looking at comments,
people are not really surprised with this area and what's
going on out there that this could be happening. But yeah,
you know those little traffic concrete barriers, maybe put one
of those right in the middle of the tunnel or
just something to prevent possible cars from going inside.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
We'll see where this goes, Matthew, great stuff.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
We appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
Thank you, Matthew. Tell people where they can follow you
and see the story.
Speaker 7 (18:27):
Yeah, so I have it up right now on my
x page. It's matt Seedorf. It's also on Facebook, Fox,
Fox eleven, Fox La, on Instagram, so all the platforms.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
I want Marla to call you Matt or Matthew.
Speaker 7 (18:41):
You know that's the question that everyone always asks. I
really I don't mind. I prefer Matthew, but you know,
the closest friends and family call me matt Ah.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
Anybody drop a Mattie on you every once in a while.
Speaker 7 (18:54):
Mattie Ice, Maddy Light, Yeah, all those.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
Since we're getting personal, I want our listeners to know
your new dad too, and he has now, what six
months six and a half month old son River.
Speaker 7 (19:08):
Yeah, seven month old River. A handful, but he's it's
so much fun, as you know.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Yeah, are you crying, Matt? It sounded a little whispy there, weepy?
All right, Matt, great stuff, Thank you again. All right,
thanks Matt seed Orf there from from Fox La.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Yeah, his little boy is so cute. Yeah, Sloany Maroney
has met a little river.
Speaker 6 (19:30):
Oh yeah, match, absolutely, they got a date this weekend.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Yeah, when we come back. The other thing we talked
about how binge watching is good for you. Apparently people
watching is good for you to be an incredible health.
I am a stare er. There are some incredible places
to watch. Airports are great. Sports arenas if you're seated,
are great. Vegas is great, Catlinburg. Disneyland's a perfect way
(19:57):
to pass. I mean, that's a e ticket ride. Just
why watching people at Disneyland.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
I'm just watching you right now.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Gary, good different, it's different, It's good for us. We'll
talk about that when we come back.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Late in the show, we do what you learned this
week on the Gary and Shannon Show, so leave us
a talkback message. So if you're listening on the app,
there's a little red button with a white microphone on it.
When you tap that little thing, it leaves us a
quick message and tell us what you learned this week
on the Gary and Shannon. So we'll do that before
we do our nine newsnugget you need to know, which
comes up right after we do our Gas Fantasy four
(20:38):
play back for the season.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
This is gonna be our first week.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
We'll tell you four NFL games that are coming up
this weekend, and you let us know who you think
is going to win each of those four games, and
if you pick the four games correctly, there's going to
be a prize in it for you.
Speaker 5 (20:53):
So do we know the prize? I'm not going to
tell you.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Okay, because you can just go into the office and
steal anything you wanted to. But Shannon will be calling
in also four Gas Fantasy four play because she is
in Brazil for tonight's Chargers game, which will come along
pregame at four o'clock tonight here on KFI and kickoff
just after five o'clock from south Bound.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
We'll talk to her in the twelve o'clock out.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
So we love watching other people, right, I mean, that's
what our entertainment is for the most part, is watching
TV shows about other people, watching sports, competitions between other people,
and just sometimes sitting and watching people walk. One of
the greatest aspects of a vacation that my wife and
(21:41):
I took just about a year ago was in Gatlinburg, Tennessee.
Very touristy. It's like the Southern Vegas without the gambling, okay,
because there's that main drag through town, a bunch of
different bars and honky tonks and gift shops and things
that you you sit, you know, in and out a
(22:02):
little bit like Nashville more Woodsy okay, but just sitting
and watching people is fascinating. It's where and it's that
now we know it's not just because we're voyeurs. It's
not just because we like to make up stories about
that couple over there or that family over there, or
why are those two women talking to each other. It's
(22:24):
because it's innate. It's a it's driven in our DNA
to watch and observe other other creatures that are just
like us.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Yeah, so you just alluded to it.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
I go a step further and narrate conversations that people
are having all the time.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Are you when you walk around the neighborhood though, do
you also peek in people's homes?
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (22:45):
Are your sad?
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Okay, I'm totally that person.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
If you live in a neighborhood where there are big
open windows in the front of the house, yep, my
wife will uh yeah, she loves just to see just
and it's more of a oh, she's not being nosy.
It's just like she's looking at like design choices. And
I'm not sure i'd put a picture like that of
visible to the streets right, you know, or I'd put
curtains up or something like that.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
As Sloaney and I we went for a walk the
other day.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
I took a street I hadn't been down before, and
there is a condo and lower level all glass, and
I saw one of.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Those skip hop.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
We caught a PlayStation for Sloan a little. In other words,
they had toys for kids.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Oh, baby stuff, baby stuff, thank you, baby plastics.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
I'm making it more complicated than it needs to be anyway.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
So then there's Dad sitting at a table, beautifully lit condo,
and I'm looking up, I'm staring at him. I'm thinking
about everything that's going on inside their household. It's relatable,
it's nice.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
I like it.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
There was a study out of UC Santa Barbara where
a social psychologist developmental psychologist studied how human children between
four and six years old and adult chimpanzee responded to
certain videos showing members of their respective species. And this study,
published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society b everybody
(24:05):
gets their copy, probably in the mail today, shows that
both groups preferred watching social interactions over scenes involving solitary individuals,
even foregoing the small rewards. If they were just to
look at one person, you're much more inclined to people
watch as opposed to person watch. There's something about the
(24:29):
group dynamic that interests us to the point where we
will go out of our way to watch it.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
Now, there was one different differentiator between the kids and
the chimps. So among the children, the researchers noticed another pattern.
As they grew older, boys became increasingly interested in watching
scenes of social conflict such as fall yep Tega, war
over toys or I love this. One child crying while
(24:56):
another yelled. Chaos. Girls, however, developed a stronger preference for
positive interactions, such as play or hair grooming.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Think of how social media uses that innate wiring. It's
the algorithm, yeah, to attract and keep people.
Speaker 5 (25:16):
I mean, that's that's how you get it.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Guys like to watch dumb pratfalls or fights or you
know that. Like you said, this conflict and the the
I was mentioning the other day my wife watching my
daughter put makeup on. She was talking to us while
she happened to be putting it. But it was a fascinating.
It's just a thing that you are drawn to. You
(25:40):
can't control it. Well, No, And there.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
Are plenty of spaces on YouTube where there are makeup
tutorials where these makeup artists make tons of money because
people like your wife and myself will go on there
and watch it.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
Just for a smoky eye.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
That's that's it. How do I do with mine? Today?
Speaker 5 (25:59):
That's fine? Yeah, we'll think. Yeah, I don't know, how
would I ever judge what You're great?
Speaker 4 (26:07):
Yes, pulling meliments start start pouring.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
In fishing, you call fishing.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
You've got to be in here with me, and they're
sticking up for you, and I get it.
Speaker 5 (26:18):
They're very nice people.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Now, it's too early for smoky eyes in all honesty.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
You too early a day or too early in the season.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Too early in the day. Okay, yeah, I mean a
little lighter. I did a little like gold.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
What about mine? Yeah, you're like, my eyelids are starting
to droop over.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Yeah, it brings out the blue in your eyes.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
It does not looks nice. Thanks, uh, swamp watch when
