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. We're going to have a great
Friday here on The Gary and Shannon Show. Gary remains
on vacation. He was playing golf yesterday. He keeps me
apprized with little bits and pieces of paradise. Well, we're
(00:21):
all here toiling away, are we not?
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Really?
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Twenty fifteen is our flashback Friday year. Twenty fifteen is
when we started the show. Actually it's ten years this October.
Am I crazy?
Speaker 2 (00:32):
That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
I know it's cool. It doesn't feel like it's been
that long time. Flies man. We have a lot going
on today, you guys, it's going to be a fun show.
We have a guest coming up to talk to us
about ghosting. He's in the dating world and he ghosts
people all the time. Apparently it's just the cost of
(00:53):
doing business when you're dating. Now used to be a
bad word, now it's just a thing. We've got the
Michael Monks Power Hour coming up at ten o'clock. We're
gonna get to some real news coming up with that today,
as opposed to yesterday where we just f and sked
our way through that hour. And Gavin Newsom is testing
the presidential waters kind of officially wink wink, nod nod.
(01:16):
Up until this point, it's been rumors. Remember when Eric
Garcetti went to Iowa and he was testing the presidential waters.
And I'll say this about Eric Garcetti, I can't say
it about Gavin Newsom. I like Eric Garcetti. I've met
both of them. I like Eric Garcetti. We don't agree
on politics for the most for a lot of parts,
(01:38):
but he's a nice guy. I know who that guy is,
and the same kind of guy, like grew up privileged,
but still he's he's a down to earth person, a
nice guy. Gaven Newsom, I don't get that vibe. But
Eric Garciti went to Iowa, remember this, and he said,
we're just like we're just like you in California. We
have the USS Iowa right off Sam Pedro and he
(02:00):
was trying as laughable as that is, and I think
it was definitely a misstep, But California does not play
as well in other parts of the country, even when
you're amongst friends, even when you're amongst Democrats, it's a
different ballgame out here.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
We all know this.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
It's far more progressive than the moderate Democrats in the
rest of the country, and it's an obstacle that every
Democrat who wants to achieve higher office, be it Eric
Garcetti or now Gavin Newsom for twenty twenty eight, they've
got to overcome that hurdle. And it's huge, it's high,
and you can't make unforced errors like the uss Iowa comment.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
You just can't. You can't. There's no wiggle room.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
There's no wiggle room for one comment like that, because
then you are deemed out of touch with everything that
isn't California. And Gavin Newsome got a taste of that
when he had a two day swing through South Carolina,
a soft launch, as it were. I will reference somebody
who was in the crowd. His name is John Drew.
He's forty eight, he's in real estate. And he saw
(03:05):
Gaven Newsom speak this week in the small town of Mullins.
This is in northeastern South Carolina, and he said, point
blank he would need to be more moderate here.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Progressive ain't gonna work here. And that's case in point.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
It's why you've seen GAVENUSO move a little bit more
moderate in recent months in years. So we'll get into
that coming up in Swamp Watch. But first we start
with what happened in Ventura County yesterday. During the show,
we saw the images on local television stations about an
operation involving a raid at a cannabis farm there in
(03:41):
came Rio. Now, the FBI is offering a fifty thousand
dollars reward and the search for someone who appeared to
fire a pistol at federal immigration agents during the protests.
Couple things, this is a legal cannabis farm. The other thing, yes,
there were juveniles working there and as one of the
(04:04):
US Border Border and Customs Protection Commissioners said that this
farm is now under investigation for child labor violations. How
fed up is it for people to be told that
they could come here for generations and work in the
(04:24):
farms and and be okay, and then all of a
sudden a few weeks ago, it's not okay anymore. I mean,
that's a failure from both parties. It's a failure of
the Democrats who for administration after administration said our borders
are open. Essentially, come work here, We'll take care of you.
(04:45):
You're welcome here to knowing that a Republican could come
in and who saw this coming? Right? Where Trump is
a hardliner when it comes to immigration, where it's just
suddenly not okay, you're supposed to just suddenly uproot your
whole family and lead of the country that you've known
for thirty years.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
How screwed up is that?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
I think that this administration is screwing up wholeheartedly when
it comes to going after illegal immigrants who are not
here to commit crimes. I understand the argument, well, they're
here illegally, and that's a crime in itself. Okay, all right,
but there are so many people here illegally who have
gone on to commit crimes. And I'm not talking about duys.
(05:26):
I'm talking about heinous crimes, and they're given second chances,
just like people who were born here are given second
chances far too often, and third chances and fourth chances.
There is a lot of meat on that bone. And
you can get rid of all the people who are
here illegally doing bad things by using those immigration laws
that are in place. Get rid of them. You've got
(05:46):
a vehicle. You don't even need to put them on
trial or anything.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Just get rid of them. Use that vehicle.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Don't waste the taxpayer dollars by putting them on trial
when they're here illegally. They come here, they commit or
they rape, whatever burglary. Get them out of here. Use
that vehicle. And there's so many people that we could
do that for and make it a safer place while
protecting the people who work in the fields that support
the industries that people like the Republicans are making money
(06:14):
off of.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
I think it's a win win.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
There's also a real fed up situation when it comes
to people that are protesting opening fire on the agents
and the people like Karen Bass who are not acknowledging that.
And she was up in arms this week when there
was a military show of force in MacArthur Park. Well,
the reason they were there is because someone opened fire
that day in McAllen, Texas, on agents serving raids. You
(06:40):
can be mad about their raids, you can protest them,
you can say they're fed up, but you start opening
fire on US agents and of course they're going to
bring in more security. Of course they're going to bring
in the military, heavily armed information.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
That's what's going to happen.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
If you've got civilians shooting at the government, that's always
what's happened everywhere.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
And it's going to happen here.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
And now we've got somebody else taking a shot at
agents there, and like I said, a fifty thousand dollars
reward for information leading to whoever this was, so we'll
stay on top of this. A lot of talk about that,
but a lot of fault to go around with everybody,
you know, and the poor kids who in the kid's
(07:24):
parents who are out there working and told that it
was fine and then suddenly they're going to be in
trouble for having their kid working under the age of sixteen.
Good lord, Okay, coming up next, a feel good story.
We're going to be talking with Heather Brooker coming up
about Superman.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Later.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Superman opening to mixed reviews, a lot of controversy over
what should just be a fun summer movie, blockbuster type
deal there in the theaters. But we have a story
about Superman. The Dog coming up next. Have you heard
this a shelter dog from the floodwaters of Texas.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
You're gonna love this one and do it.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on Demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Justin Bieber's seventh studio album is out now may have
been why Elmer.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Kicked off the show with a little Bieber.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
The hype began yesterday when Justin posted a picture of
a billboard with a track list on social media.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
New project is called Swag.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
It marks his first album since twenty twenty one, Justice
came out that year. Have you been able to listen
to any of this yet, Elmer?
Speaker 2 (08:34):
No, but thank you for reminding me, because I will
definitely be listening to it on my drive home. I
was curious.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
I checked out pop Rising on Spotify to see how
many songs were already, you know, getting attention, and it
was just one. It's called Yeah, Yeah, it's called Daisies, Okay.
And it was good. I mean, it was fine.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
He liked it. Yeah, I liked it. It didn't you know,
it didn't wow me. Did it seem new like Justin?
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Or is it?
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Oh Justin? It didn't seem new. That's that's upsetting.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
But you know what I didn't like. I didn't deep like.
I didn't like listen to it. I didn't listen to it.
I just kind of heard it.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
So there's a chance it could still be good. Yeah, no, no, no,
it's good. I just it sounded like Justin Bier.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
It just sounded like Justin Bieber fair, like something that
could be on any of his albums. You let me know,
because you're the connoisseur.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Thank you. I'm just the casual Bieber listener.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Yeah, I'm not a believer, but I'm okay.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
There is a dog named Superman that was found Sunday
amid the debris of his home there in central Texas,
stealing the hearts as you can imagine of animal lovers,
just basically everybody across the country and rescue workers in
Texas hope his story will save more pets in the
dire circumstances, and there are many. It's one of the
(10:00):
stories we haven't really heard him out because miles and
miles of destruction. We're talking about more than one hundred
and twenty people dead, at least one hundred and sixty
still missing. The Guadalupe River there rising about twenty six
feet in less than an hour.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
People had no chance.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Some residents escaped with their pets, but maybe many did
not have enough time to grab their animals.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
What does that guilt feel?
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Like.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
A photo posted on Austin Pets Alive facebook page shows
Superman the dog just as rescue workers found him. He
is a muscular, light brown dog, pretty slight. He's wearing
a collar. He's sitting amongst the rubble twisted metal, broken
wooden beams, and he looks like he's patiently waiting for
his family to come back. His paws or kind of
(10:48):
dangling over the side of a broken beam, a metal
wall at the odd angle behind him. These floppy ears
are kind of perked up to attention. His nose is lifted.
I mean, it's the sweetest picture. You guys, you got
to check it out. You're gonna want this dog you
want and I mean, oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Anyway, So, doctor Allan Jefferson is the CEO of that
IF that nonprofit, the Austin Pets Alive shelter, and she's
one of the ones working with countless people on the ground,
thousands of volunteers trying to save and care for the
pets left behind. Now, they don't have all the details
about what happened happened to Superman, but they.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Do know that.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
He's a mix right, He's a Texas brown dog. That's
what they call a mix of many breed, and they
think that he has been through a lot. By the
time rescuers got to him, she says, he was part
of a family that as the water was rising, a
family member was trying to save the family. From what
we understand, the owner pulled him out of the water
and saved him, but then, sadly, his owner died. It
(11:50):
appeared that although emergency workers were able to get the
rest of the family out, the dog stayed put. Oh
my gosh, how sad is that because that's where his
owner Probably right, the one that perished. The dog was
by himself, no one else there at the time all
the people had been evacuated. Superman did not come running
(12:14):
like the cats did. Rescuers reported that he was acting
territorial and scared. He was snapping at crews that were
trying to save him.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Oh, it's a.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Good loyal dog behavior. Team members were called out to
work with Superman. She says, I think even the original
searchers were eventually able to sweet talk him and then
were able to start moving him. Once he trusted the team,
Superman politely walked on a leash and proudly rode in
a car flanked by smiling rescuers.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
After a vet.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Gave Superman a clean bill of health, he headed to
a temporary foster home. Jefferson says that a worker spoke
with Superman's family members, but they've lost everything, they can't
care for him. He is going to stay with his
foster fan for as long needed. As we speak, he
has probably been adopted. This picture has been everywhere, but
(13:06):
there are so many other animals in the same situation.
In the meantime, his story has been heroic work raising
awareness about the plight of pets and the people who
love them caught up in this life altering disaster.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
I know people, at least a couple people, and I.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Think they came from Remember when the Dream Center became
essentially a refuge a shelter for people after Hurricane Katrina,
and people brought their dogs and they were adopted out
and met a couple people that dogs were rescued from
Hurricane Katrina. And this is going to be the same
type of situation where you're going to have pets that
(13:44):
were orphaned and are looking for.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
A good home. Man makes you want to go out
and get a dog, all right?
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Coming up next, Heather Brooker joins us, we'll be talking
about this weekend at the box office. She has seen Superman.
I've heard people talking about Superman. Are arguing light about Superman?
About is it overly politicized? Are people making it overly politicized?
Can't we just have a movie with some Kryptonite in
it and a cape? All of it?
Speaker 2 (14:13):
We'll have all of it.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
We come back, Gary and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Elmer.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
I did a deep dive because I felt woefully inadequate
when it came to talking about Justin Bieber's new album,
his seventh.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Uh wow, you learn well, this is what I've learned.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
The album Swag, was inspired by Bieber's devotion as a
husband and a father, and that has led to a
deeper perspective and more reflective sound, resulting in some of
his most personal music yet.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
And you named it swag. Interesting choice, isn't it?
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:53):
That description was beautiful, but I feel like the name
doesn't go with it.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
But let me just put this out there. Don't say
no right away. There is a world in which I
would call my baby Swag.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
I mean swags and swag will always sound cool. It's
the ultimate swag. Is your baby?
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:10):
I love that baby swag. This mom baby is not
baby swag. I mean, come on, I'm Keana. I have
something for you. Yeah. If you haven't seen Keana's picture
with Keana and a python, check out Carrie and Shannon
on Instagram and you will find it.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
I'm a flame for you.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Yeah, exactly. Yeah, she makes Brittany look bad. The Florida
Python Challenge is underway. It's a ten day competition and
even with government and tribal organizations getting involved with taking
out the pythons, it's not enough. So they're turning to
the public again. The person who nabs the most pythons
(15:48):
will take home ten thousand dollars. More than seven hundred
people have already signed up.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
And I am not one of them. No, No, just
the one for you, just the one. I'm good for life.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Heather Brooks is our entertainment reporter and our news anchor
and report.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
She's everything, She's everything all the things.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
She is. Our swag Superman has open to mixed reviews
from critics.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Is it a slow? Is it a fly? Was it slop?
Is it a flop or not.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
I hate that it comes with any sort of controversy
because Superman is just a nostalgic vehicle.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Yeah, it really is.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
And you know, I've been talking to a lot of
people this week about this, and I think that we're
forgetting a couple of things here. So the controversy, you know,
a lot of people are saying, is, oh, you know,
is it about is it woke? Is it about immigration?
You know, James Gunn was asked a question on the
Red Carpet. He was asked if the movie is about,
you know, immigrants, and he's like, well, Superman is from
(16:48):
another planet, so I guess by definition, you know, he
is an immigrant. But and there are some tones in
the movie. There are some things in references to kind
of modern day conflicts and you know, that sort of messaging.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
But to think that the overall.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
Movie is about that message is a little misguided and
a little you're making a lot of assumptions. It really
is just a Superman movie, and it's a James Gunn
Superman movie. So it's got a little humor to it,
It's got a little heart. The chemistry between Superman and
Lois Lane, you know, Rachel Brosenhan, who plays Lois Lane
(17:23):
really well, and a very handsome man named David corn
Sweat plays Superman.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
They have great chemistry together.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
And you know, before we all overthink, you know, this
superhero movie and like they try to put too much
political emphasis on it, just remember it's just a movie.
It's a movie that you can go and you can
sit back and get your popcorn in and just enjoy
it and try not to overthink it too much.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
I need to have that chemistry between the male and
the female, otherwise I think it's a forced plot line.
It's often a forced plot line to have some sort
of love situation happening.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
Don't you make that when you're watching something and then
all of a sudden you're like, why are they kissing
right now?
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Yes, it's so unnecessary. And I gotta say, as much
as I loved F one, I did not feel the
chemistry at all between Oh my god, it was uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Uncomfortable.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
I was like, why do we need to pigeonhole this
romance in this one night stand that they are madly
in love?
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Come on, yeah, just let them go their separate ways,
like when they you know, like I'm gonna be gone.
Like I loved that part, well, I don't want to
ruin it, but spoiler, spoiler, but not really. I mean,
because no one's going to f one to fall in love.
You're going to hear the engines and feel like you're
in the cockpit of the car, Like you're not going
(18:42):
there to watch Brad Pitt uncomfortably kiss some strange woman who's.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Saying you don't even know.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
And it does feel like every filmmaker feels like they
need to shoehorn in a love story, Like we can't
just have her be really into science and cars, she
needed to also be in love with Brad Pitt. I mean, yeah,
I can't really falter for that because he looked really good.
He did, he's sixty. Like when that one shot was
so gratuitous when he was like, Lane, I don't care.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
I love that shot. I think I gasped in theater.
I was like, oh my god.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
I mean he put in the work to get that definition.
And I mean, you know, we all know now the
magic of filters.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
We didn't know before, but like they've.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Been using these in movies forever and now we all
know how wonderful they are. Man, I get that, but
he put in a lot of work on his body
to look like that.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
He really did. But you're right, they had no chemistry.
But I will see in Superman that Rachel Brosnahan and
David Corn, so they have some chemistry there, but it's
not a chemistry that feels kind of like Icky. It
feels like Lois Lane, those like tough journalists who really
likes somebody and really cares for him. And I think
they really do a good job of capturing that spirit
(19:52):
of this very iconic couple.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
I would have liked to have seen.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
A little bit more of their relationship in the movie,
though we really only see them together on screen for
a little bit of time in the beginning and then
a little bit in the end. But what's great about
this movie is it doesn't give us the whole backstory
of Superman. It starts where he's already working at the
Daily Planet, he's already in a relationship with Lois, and
it just jumps off from there into all of the
(20:19):
action and excitement.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
So I think James Gunn did a really good job
of capturing this.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Film so they don't get into his whole psyche with
what am I where am I from?
Speaker 4 (20:30):
Right?
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Yeah, they don't really do that.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
No, no, no, I think a lot of people too,
when you're just a casual fan of Superman or spider
Man or what have you, any of the comic book heroes,
that you don't realize that they're all kind of preachy,
if you want to call them that. They all come
with a backstory, and they all come with some sort
of ill of society message underneath the capes and the
(20:54):
masks and all those tuffs.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
I mean, Superman's literal like phrase is, you know, truth, justice,
the American Way, you know, like he is all about
protecting America. And speaking of that, anybody see the White
House Twitter account today they are sort of acknowledging the
release of Superman.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
In a very special way. Really.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
Oh yes, they have taken the poster of Superman, which
you know shows David corn Sweat as Superman kind of
rising above in the Superman offit, and they put President
Trump's face on it and it says the symbol of hope, Truth, Justice,
the American Way Superman Trump.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Is that for Oh I just pulled it up.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Oh my god, you guys stop it, please wait, No,
this is a real thing. This is not ai Hat. No,
this is the White House. Oh, the White House official
God oh boy.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
So they're calling it a Trump Presidency, Truth, Justice, and
the American Way.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
This is much like the black leather skirt I put
on this morning. I loved the idea of it, and
then I put it on and I was like, this
is ridiculous. That's what this is. This Trump is Superman.
You love the idea of it. We'll put his face
super imposed on the super He'll look like Superman. He'll
be crazy. We'll do this, yeah, buff soft lighting. But
(22:18):
then when you see it, you're like, I don't know.
People are gonna love it. Though, people are gonna love it, Yes,
all right, coming up next. I got excited to see
this on your agenda for me. Heather Devil Wears Prada too.
I am beyond exciting for this.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
I think this is a movie that holds up. If
you hate Anne Hathaway, you can't hate her in this movie.
And there's another one coming, so we'll get into it.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
A couple housekeeping things.
Speaker 1 (22:55):

be on. Fred Rogan is always a fun time, such
a great hang and he's gonna be on for Conway tonight,
so check him out at four. He has so many
great stories and he is not shy about sharing them.
I texted him to have him come on with us
to talk about it, but he hasn't gotten back to me,
(23:16):
probably because he's preparing, you know, or or I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
You know, I don't know what Fred does out there
in the desert. You know, it's freaking.
Speaker 2 (23:25):

When we do, it's gonna be great. So go check
them out two to five, Wild Fork Foods in Santa Clarita.
Four of the Fork Port Neil is also a great
(24:01):
hang as well. It'll be a fun afternoon. We're talking
to Heather Brooker al about your weekend entertainment report. As
we waged further into July, and this morning we were
hit with a new Justin Bieber album.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Have you perused this, Heather?
Speaker 4 (24:17):
I have was listening to Elmer to see if he
had checked it out as well.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
I haven't.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
I've been kind of keeping an eye out to see
where it can actually get it. I sort of out
of nowhere. Nobody knew this was even coming, and we've
all been concerned about his health and his mental health
for a while.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
We didn't nobody knew he was working on an album.
He had a.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Baby last fall. He's been with Hailey Bieber for a while.
This is that whole from what I've gathered. Ex Selena
Gomez friend that wanted to piss her off and hooked
up with him and then married him and now made
a baby and has sold her business for like billions
of dollars or something crazy.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Some kind of life I will never live. That's what's happened.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
I think she credited her with the amount of money
that she made. Is well, good for her I mean,
if you can do it, then why not?
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Yeah? Why not?
Speaker 3 (25:09):
So?
Speaker 1 (25:10):
I but I feel like the excitement factor on the
Bieber new album is not there. I mean, yesterday Elmer
was like, I'm so excited, I can't wait. I hope
that the tsunami doesn't hit before the Bieber album drops.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
And this morning I'm like, so have you heard it?
Speaker 1 (25:23):
He's like no, So I'm like, all right, nobody's that excited.
I listened to one song that was on Spotify this morning, daisies.
It was fine, it was cool. It was justin Bieber Fair.
It wasn't like the first time I heard Peaches, you know.
It wasn't like, oh, this is really good, This's gonna
be a well.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
You know, a lot of the reasons why I think
we loved his older stuff is because he works with
a very popular producer named Benny Blanco.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
And do you know who is.
Speaker 4 (25:48):
Engaged to Selena gom No?
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Oh yeah, god, that means everything.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
Yes, So Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez were getting me.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
I didn't make that. I've seen the pictures of them.
I didn't make the connection. I didn't know that he
did the producing for Bieber stuff.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
I did all the big hits that we know and
love from when Bieber was at his prime were worked on,
were produced by Benny Blanco.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
No wonder he's having mental problems, Like, I'd be pissed too.
Could you imagine your first love is hooking up with
your first love when I mean my god? So, you know,
I think it'll be interesting to see who he worked on,
like what producers he worked on with this album, if
we're gonna get a lot of the same feel, if
it's going to have a different feel to it. I
(26:35):
think his fans are excited to have new Bieber music.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
The people who are his like Ride or Dies. But
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
I mean, I've been following I've seen a lot of
his stuff on social media, and I'm concerned for him
because he seems to.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Be a little unsteady lately.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
And I don't want to like throw anything out there
that I don't know about for sure, but he seems
to be a little unsteady.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Well, I mean, he's a child star that comes with
a whole host of fun issues that you're gonna have
to deal with at some point. Well, we wish the
best for him, and I didn't know. Wow, I'm right
do you put.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
The pieces together?
Speaker 1 (27:11):
And now it's like, oh my, I have a long
drive later and I'm just gonna like totally get into
this doing musically all right, Devilwar's Prada Too is becoming
a reality. Who is coming back? Who is not coming back?
What's happening?
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Everybody is coming back? This is so exciting.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
Stanley Tucci, Yes, I believe so, Yes, we got Meryl
Streep is back, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
They are all confirmed. And what's the plot line?
Speaker 4 (27:38):
So they're not releasing a whole lot. As far as
I know about what it's going to be back about.
I imagine Anne Hathaway is still in fashion in some way,
or maybe she left fashion and has to come back.
I don't know it will see they're not releasing a lot.
But I know I don't know about you, but this
is my comfort movie. Can I play a little clip
from you that'll just give us all the feels for
(27:58):
a second.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
You can play it twice? All right?
Speaker 4 (28:02):
Oh my god, that was not it. That was a
big that was a big fail on my heart. Let's
try this again.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Here we go.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
We need Benny Blanco in here. Guys, we do apparently
all right? I guess I can't play it from me
here I usually do. But let me try this again.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
I mean, if you tell me what there is no
one that can do what I do.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Well.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
I'm not going to prove that girl that she sent
me for the Brazilian layup. I asked for keen, athletic smiling.
She said, be dirty, tired and paunching. Please just I
don't know, drizzling. Where are the belts for this?
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Why?
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Who's there? Who are you dealing with? Miranda? Oh she's
coming back? Why is fantastic character?
Speaker 1 (28:49):
It made me love Anna Wintour even more. If Anna
Wintour is a tenth of that character, Miranda, then I
will be happy.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
You know.
Speaker 4 (28:55):
I watched a documentary about Anna Wintour and like the
history of Ogue and how she created this empire. I
am not like a fashion person. You can probably tell
by the daily sweatpants and T shirt that I wear
to work. But I enjoy learning about that world and
kind of peeking into it because it seems so opulent,
so dystopian, so out of touch with everything that I
(29:18):
know that it's sort of like a train wrek. I
love watching and I'm fascinated by it. But this movie is,
I'm is my comfort movie. I don't know how often
you watch it, but I will just throw it on
just for fun and just watch it on a random
Tuesday afternoon.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Well and especially for that reason.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
I am a sofa when it comes to an ass imprint,
like whatever ass has sit on me last is kind
of how I behave if I'm with you with fashion, Like,
I am not a fashion person, but if I watch
The Devil Wears Praduct, it gets me thinking about it.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
It's arillion, what is that even?
Speaker 1 (29:51):
You know?
Speaker 2 (29:52):
And it's like it gets me thinking about it.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
It gets me excited to get dressed for work or
whatever for a while. You know, it takes it out
an impression on me, is what my point is.
Speaker 4 (30:02):
I agree me too, and I think about fashion a
lot more when I'm watching this movie. And you know
what's gonna be cool is the director is returning the
same director, so we can only hope that it's going
to have that same draw and that same.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
You know, humor to it.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
One thing I think is funny is people call Adrian
Grenier's role he was her girlfriend Andy's or excuse me
Andy's boyfriend in the film, they call him the villain.
A lot of fans consider him to be the villain
of the movie.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Did you ever feel that way, like he was the
bad guy of the movie. No, I just thought that
maybe they outgrew each other. Yeah, that's all I mean,
that's a classic thing to happen in your early twenties.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
M hmmm, that's true. That's true.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
Well, he we don't know if he's going to even
be coming back or not. But I'm excited.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
I mean, she did waste all that good cheese in
the sandwich. I think I'm still pissed over that moment.
I mean, that's Sam, which was so beautifully toasted and everything.
Speaker 4 (30:55):
Also, Anne Hathaway, how beautiful is this woman? Like she's
been acting so and she was fourteen years old. She's gorgeous,
so talented. Yeah, I am excited about this movie, very
much so, and I'm glad that you are too. And
also we got to talk about Downton Abbey at some
point too. The second movie is coming out in September
and the trailers have already started dropping.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Never I haven't seen the first and I didn't finish
the whole series. Still in the last season, but yeah,
we'll do that coming up in the next week. I
think Anne Hathaway gets a bad rap because she kind
of played the spoiled brat the Princess Diaries. Yeah, so
I think people look at her and think spoiled brat
and that's where she gets the bad rap. Well, I
think she's pretty much, compared to so many other celebs,
(31:35):
been unproblematic. I don't think I've ever seen any prabma
with her or any issues. So looking at you, Blake
Lively ring at oh my god.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Okay, that's a whole, That is your whole. Nother segment.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
All right, We've got Michael Munks coming up next. Thank you,
Heather Brooker. Keep it right here on Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
You've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 4 (31:56):
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. We're going to have a great
Friday here on The Gary and Shannon Show. Gary remains
on vacation. He was playing golf yesterday. He keeps me
apprized with little bits and pieces of paradise. Well, we're
(00:21):
all here toiling away, are we not?
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Really?
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Twenty fifteen is our flashback Friday year. Twenty fifteen is
when we started the show. Actually it's ten years this October.
Am I crazy?
Speaker 2 (00:32):
That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
I know it's cool. It doesn't feel like it's been
that long time. Flies man. We have a lot going
on today, you guys, it's going to be a fun show.
We have a guest coming up to talk to us
about ghosting. He's in the dating world and he ghosts
people all the time. Apparently it's just the cost of
(00:53):
doing business when you're dating. Now used to be a
bad word, now it's just a thing. We've got the
Michael Monks Power Hour coming up at ten o'clock. We're
gonna get to some real news coming up with that today,
as opposed to yesterday where we just f and sked
our way through that hour. And Gavin Newsom is testing
the presidential waters kind of officially wink wink, nod nod.
(01:16):
Up until this point, it's been rumors. Remember when Eric
Garcetti went to Iowa and he was testing the presidential waters.
And I'll say this about Eric Garcetti, I can't say
it about Gavin Newsom. I like Eric Garcetti. I've met
both of them. I like Eric Garcetti. We don't agree
on politics for the most for a lot of parts,
(01:38):
but he's a nice guy. I know who that guy is,
and the same kind of guy, like grew up privileged,
but still he's he's a down to earth person, a
nice guy. Gaven Newsom, I don't get that vibe. But
Eric Garciti went to Iowa, remember this, and he said,
we're just like we're just like you in California. We
have the USS Iowa right off Sam Pedro and he
(02:00):
was trying as laughable as that is, and I think
it was definitely a misstep, But California does not play
as well in other parts of the country, even when
you're amongst friends, even when you're amongst Democrats, it's a
different ballgame out here.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
We all know this.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
It's far more progressive than the moderate Democrats in the
rest of the country, and it's an obstacle that every
Democrat who wants to achieve higher office, be it Eric
Garcetti or now Gavin Newsom for twenty twenty eight, they've
got to overcome that hurdle. And it's huge, it's high,
and you can't make unforced errors like the uss Iowa comment.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
You just can't. You can't. There's no wiggle room.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
There's no wiggle room for one comment like that, because
then you are deemed out of touch with everything that
isn't California. And Gavin Newsome got a taste of that
when he had a two day swing through South Carolina,
a soft launch, as it were. I will reference somebody
who was in the crowd. His name is John Drew.
He's forty eight, he's in real estate. And he saw
(03:05):
Gaven Newsom speak this week in the small town of Mullins.
This is in northeastern South Carolina, and he said, point
blank he would need to be more moderate here.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Progressive ain't gonna work here. And that's case in point.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
It's why you've seen GAVENUSO move a little bit more
moderate in recent months in years. So we'll get into
that coming up in Swamp Watch. But first we start
with what happened in Ventura County yesterday. During the show,
we saw the images on local television stations about an
operation involving a raid at a cannabis farm there in
(03:41):
came Rio. Now, the FBI is offering a fifty thousand
dollars reward and the search for someone who appeared to
fire a pistol at federal immigration agents during the protests.
Couple things, this is a legal cannabis farm. The other thing, yes,
there were juveniles working there and as one of the
(04:04):
US Border Border and Customs Protection Commissioners said that this
farm is now under investigation for child labor violations. How
fed up is it for people to be told that
they could come here for generations and work in the
(04:24):
farms and and be okay, and then all of a
sudden a few weeks ago, it's not okay anymore. I mean,
that's a failure from both parties. It's a failure of
the Democrats who for administration after administration said our borders
are open. Essentially, come work here, We'll take care of you.
(04:45):
You're welcome here to knowing that a Republican could come
in and who saw this coming? Right? Where Trump is
a hardliner when it comes to immigration, where it's just
suddenly not okay, you're supposed to just suddenly uproot your
whole family and lead of the country that you've known
for thirty years.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
How screwed up is that?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
I think that this administration is screwing up wholeheartedly when
it comes to going after illegal immigrants who are not
here to commit crimes. I understand the argument, well, they're
here illegally, and that's a crime in itself. Okay, all right,
but there are so many people here illegally who have
gone on to commit crimes. And I'm not talking about duys.
(05:26):
I'm talking about heinous crimes, and they're given second chances,
just like people who were born here are given second
chances far too often, and third chances and fourth chances.
There is a lot of meat on that bone. And
you can get rid of all the people who are
here illegally doing bad things by using those immigration laws
that are in place. Get rid of them. You've got
(05:46):
a vehicle. You don't even need to put them on
trial or anything.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Just get rid of them. Use that vehicle.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Don't waste the taxpayer dollars by putting them on trial
when they're here illegally. They come here, they commit or
they rape, whatever burglary. Get them out of here. Use
that vehicle. And there's so many people that we could
do that for and make it a safer place while
protecting the people who work in the fields that support
the industries that people like the Republicans are making money
(06:14):
off of.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
I think it's a win win.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
There's also a real fed up situation when it comes
to people that are protesting opening fire on the agents
and the people like Karen Bass who are not acknowledging that.
And she was up in arms this week when there
was a military show of force in MacArthur Park. Well,
the reason they were there is because someone opened fire
that day in McAllen, Texas, on agents serving raids. You
(06:40):
can be mad about their raids, you can protest them,
you can say they're fed up, but you start opening
fire on US agents and of course they're going to
bring in more security. Of course they're going to bring
in the military, heavily armed information.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
That's what's going to happen.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
If you've got civilians shooting at the government, that's always
what's happened everywhere.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
And it's going to happen here.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
And now we've got somebody else taking a shot at
agents there, and like I said, a fifty thousand dollars
reward for information leading to whoever this was, so we'll
stay on top of this. A lot of talk about that,
but a lot of fault to go around with everybody,
you know, and the poor kids who in the kid's
(07:24):
parents who are out there working and told that it
was fine and then suddenly they're going to be in
trouble for having their kid working under the age of sixteen.
Good lord, Okay, coming up next, a feel good story.
We're going to be talking with Heather Brooker coming up
about Superman.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Later.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Superman opening to mixed reviews, a lot of controversy over
what should just be a fun summer movie, blockbuster type
deal there in the theaters. But we have a story
about Superman. The Dog coming up next. Have you heard
this a shelter dog from the floodwaters of Texas.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
You're gonna love this one and do it.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on Demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Justin Bieber's seventh studio album is out now may have
been why Elmer.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Kicked off the show with a little Bieber.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
The hype began yesterday when Justin posted a picture of
a billboard with a track list on social media.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
New project is called Swag.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
It marks his first album since twenty twenty one, Justice
came out that year. Have you been able to listen
to any of this yet, Elmer?
Speaker 2 (08:34):
No, but thank you for reminding me, because I will
definitely be listening to it on my drive home. I
was curious.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
I checked out pop Rising on Spotify to see how
many songs were already, you know, getting attention, and it
was just one. It's called Yeah, Yeah, it's called Daisies, Okay.
And it was good. I mean, it was fine.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
He liked it. Yeah, I liked it. It didn't you know,
it didn't wow me. Did it seem new like Justin?
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Or is it?
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Oh Justin? It didn't seem new. That's that's upsetting.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
But you know what I didn't like. I didn't deep like.
I didn't like listen to it. I didn't listen to it.
I just kind of heard it.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
So there's a chance it could still be good. Yeah, no, no, no,
it's good. I just it sounded like Justin Bier.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
It just sounded like Justin Bieber fair, like something that
could be on any of his albums. You let me know,
because you're the connoisseur.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Thank you. I'm just the casual Bieber listener.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Yeah, I'm not a believer, but I'm okay.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
There is a dog named Superman that was found Sunday
amid the debris of his home there in central Texas,
stealing the hearts as you can imagine of animal lovers,
just basically everybody across the country and rescue workers in
Texas hope his story will save more pets in the
dire circumstances, and there are many. It's one of the
(10:00):
stories we haven't really heard him out because miles and
miles of destruction. We're talking about more than one hundred
and twenty people dead, at least one hundred and sixty
still missing. The Guadalupe River there rising about twenty six
feet in less than an hour.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
People had no chance.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Some residents escaped with their pets, but maybe many did
not have enough time to grab their animals.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
What does that guilt feel?
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Like.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
A photo posted on Austin Pets Alive facebook page shows
Superman the dog just as rescue workers found him. He
is a muscular, light brown dog, pretty slight. He's wearing
a collar. He's sitting amongst the rubble twisted metal, broken
wooden beams, and he looks like he's patiently waiting for
his family to come back. His paws or kind of
(10:48):
dangling over the side of a broken beam, a metal
wall at the odd angle behind him. These floppy ears
are kind of perked up to attention. His nose is lifted.
I mean, it's the sweetest picture. You guys, you got
to check it out. You're gonna want this dog you
want and I mean, oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Anyway, So, doctor Allan Jefferson is the CEO of that
IF that nonprofit, the Austin Pets Alive shelter, and she's
one of the ones working with countless people on the ground,
thousands of volunteers trying to save and care for the
pets left behind. Now, they don't have all the details
about what happened happened to Superman, but they.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Do know that.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
He's a mix right, He's a Texas brown dog. That's
what they call a mix of many breed, and they
think that he has been through a lot. By the
time rescuers got to him, she says, he was part
of a family that as the water was rising, a
family member was trying to save the family. From what
we understand, the owner pulled him out of the water
and saved him, but then, sadly, his owner died. It
(11:50):
appeared that although emergency workers were able to get the
rest of the family out, the dog stayed put. Oh
my gosh, how sad is that because that's where his
owner Probably right, the one that perished. The dog was
by himself, no one else there at the time all
the people had been evacuated. Superman did not come running
(12:14):
like the cats did. Rescuers reported that he was acting
territorial and scared. He was snapping at crews that were
trying to save him.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Oh, it's a.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Good loyal dog behavior. Team members were called out to
work with Superman. She says, I think even the original
searchers were eventually able to sweet talk him and then
were able to start moving him. Once he trusted the team,
Superman politely walked on a leash and proudly rode in
a car flanked by smiling rescuers.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
After a vet.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Gave Superman a clean bill of health, he headed to
a temporary foster home. Jefferson says that a worker spoke
with Superman's family members, but they've lost everything, they can't
care for him. He is going to stay with his
foster fan for as long needed. As we speak, he
has probably been adopted. This picture has been everywhere, but
(13:06):
there are so many other animals in the same situation.
In the meantime, his story has been heroic work raising
awareness about the plight of pets and the people who
love them caught up in this life altering disaster.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
I know people, at least a couple people, and I.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Think they came from Remember when the Dream Center became
essentially a refuge a shelter for people after Hurricane Katrina,
and people brought their dogs and they were adopted out
and met a couple people that dogs were rescued from
Hurricane Katrina. And this is going to be the same
type of situation where you're going to have pets that
(13:44):
were orphaned and are looking for.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
A good home. Man makes you want to go out
and get a dog, all right?
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Coming up next, Heather Brooker joins us, we'll be talking
about this weekend at the box office. She has seen Superman.
I've heard people talking about Superman. Are arguing light about Superman?
About is it overly politicized? Are people making it overly politicized?
Can't we just have a movie with some Kryptonite in
it and a cape? All of it?
Speaker 2 (14:13):
We'll have all of it.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
We come back, Gary and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Elmer.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
I did a deep dive because I felt woefully inadequate
when it came to talking about Justin Bieber's new album,
his seventh.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Uh wow, you learn well, this is what I've learned.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
The album Swag, was inspired by Bieber's devotion as a
husband and a father, and that has led to a
deeper perspective and more reflective sound, resulting in some of
his most personal music yet.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
And you named it swag. Interesting choice, isn't it?
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:53):
That description was beautiful, but I feel like the name
doesn't go with it.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
But let me just put this out there. Don't say
no right away. There is a world in which I
would call my baby Swag.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
I mean swags and swag will always sound cool. It's
the ultimate swag. Is your baby?
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:10):
I love that baby swag. This mom baby is not
baby swag. I mean, come on, I'm Keana. I have
something for you. Yeah. If you haven't seen Keana's picture
with Keana and a python, check out Carrie and Shannon
on Instagram and you will find it.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
I'm a flame for you.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Yeah, exactly. Yeah, she makes Brittany look bad. The Florida
Python Challenge is underway. It's a ten day competition and
even with government and tribal organizations getting involved with taking
out the pythons, it's not enough. So they're turning to
the public again. The person who nabs the most pythons
(15:48):
will take home ten thousand dollars. More than seven hundred
people have already signed up.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
And I am not one of them. No, No, just
the one for you, just the one. I'm good for life.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Heather Brooks is our entertainment reporter and our news anchor
and report.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
She's everything, She's everything all the things.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
She is. Our swag Superman has open to mixed reviews
from critics.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Is it a slow? Is it a fly? Was it slop?
Is it a flop or not.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
I hate that it comes with any sort of controversy
because Superman is just a nostalgic vehicle.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Yeah, it really is.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
And you know, I've been talking to a lot of
people this week about this, and I think that we're
forgetting a couple of things here. So the controversy, you know,
a lot of people are saying, is, oh, you know,
is it about is it woke? Is it about immigration?
You know, James Gunn was asked a question on the
Red Carpet. He was asked if the movie is about,
you know, immigrants, and he's like, well, Superman is from
(16:48):
another planet, so I guess by definition, you know, he
is an immigrant. But and there are some tones in
the movie. There are some things in references to kind
of modern day conflicts and you know, that sort of messaging.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
But to think that the overall.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
Movie is about that message is a little misguided and
a little you're making a lot of assumptions. It really
is just a Superman movie, and it's a James Gunn
Superman movie. So it's got a little humor to it,
It's got a little heart. The chemistry between Superman and
Lois Lane, you know, Rachel Brosenhan, who plays Lois Lane
(17:23):
really well, and a very handsome man named David corn
Sweat plays Superman.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
They have great chemistry together.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
And you know, before we all overthink, you know, this
superhero movie and like they try to put too much
political emphasis on it, just remember it's just a movie.
It's a movie that you can go and you can
sit back and get your popcorn in and just enjoy
it and try not to overthink it too much.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
I need to have that chemistry between the male and
the female, otherwise I think it's a forced plot line.
It's often a forced plot line to have some sort
of love situation happening.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
Don't you make that when you're watching something and then
all of a sudden you're like, why are they kissing
right now?
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Yes, it's so unnecessary. And I gotta say, as much
as I loved F one, I did not feel the
chemistry at all between Oh my god, it was uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Uncomfortable.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
I was like, why do we need to pigeonhole this
romance in this one night stand that they are madly
in love?
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Come on, yeah, just let them go their separate ways,
like when they you know, like I'm gonna be gone.
Like I loved that part, well, I don't want to
ruin it, but spoiler, spoiler, but not really. I mean,
because no one's going to f one to fall in love.
You're going to hear the engines and feel like you're
in the cockpit of the car, Like you're not going
(18:42):
there to watch Brad Pitt uncomfortably kiss some strange woman who's.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Saying you don't even know.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
And it does feel like every filmmaker feels like they
need to shoehorn in a love story, Like we can't
just have her be really into science and cars, she
needed to also be in love with Brad Pitt. I mean, yeah,
I can't really falter for that because he looked really good.
He did, he's sixty. Like when that one shot was
so gratuitous when he was like, Lane, I don't care.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
I love that shot. I think I gasped in theater.
I was like, oh my god.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
I mean he put in the work to get that definition.
And I mean, you know, we all know now the
magic of filters.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
We didn't know before, but like they've.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Been using these in movies forever and now we all
know how wonderful they are. Man, I get that, but
he put in a lot of work on his body
to look like that.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
He really did. But you're right, they had no chemistry.
But I will see in Superman that Rachel Brosnahan and
David Corn, so they have some chemistry there, but it's
not a chemistry that feels kind of like Icky. It
feels like Lois Lane, those like tough journalists who really
likes somebody and really cares for him. And I think
they really do a good job of capturing that spirit
(19:52):
of this very iconic couple.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
I would have liked to have seen.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
A little bit more of their relationship in the movie,
though we really only see them together on screen for
a little bit of time in the beginning and then
a little bit in the end. But what's great about
this movie is it doesn't give us the whole backstory
of Superman. It starts where he's already working at the
Daily Planet, he's already in a relationship with Lois, and
it just jumps off from there into all of the
(20:19):
action and excitement.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
So I think James Gunn did a really good job
of capturing this.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Film so they don't get into his whole psyche with
what am I where am I from?
Speaker 4 (20:30):
Right?
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Yeah, they don't really do that.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
No, no, no, I think a lot of people too,
when you're just a casual fan of Superman or spider
Man or what have you, any of the comic book heroes,
that you don't realize that they're all kind of preachy,
if you want to call them that. They all come
with a backstory, and they all come with some sort
of ill of society message underneath the capes and the
(20:54):
masks and all those tuffs.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
I mean, Superman's literal like phrase is, you know, truth, justice,
the American Way, you know, like he is all about
protecting America. And speaking of that, anybody see the White
House Twitter account today they are sort of acknowledging the
release of Superman.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
In a very special way. Really.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
Oh yes, they have taken the poster of Superman, which
you know shows David corn Sweat as Superman kind of
rising above in the Superman offit, and they put President
Trump's face on it and it says the symbol of hope, Truth, Justice,
the American Way Superman Trump.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Is that for Oh I just pulled it up.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Oh my god, you guys stop it, please wait, No,
this is a real thing. This is not ai Hat. No,
this is the White House. Oh, the White House official
God oh boy.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
So they're calling it a Trump Presidency, Truth, Justice, and
the American Way.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
This is much like the black leather skirt I put
on this morning. I loved the idea of it, and
then I put it on and I was like, this
is ridiculous. That's what this is. This Trump is Superman.
You love the idea of it. We'll put his face
super imposed on the super He'll look like Superman. He'll
be crazy. We'll do this, yeah, buff soft lighting. But
(22:18):
then when you see it, you're like, I don't know.
People are gonna love it. Though, people are gonna love it, Yes,
all right, coming up next. I got excited to see
this on your agenda for me. Heather Devil Wears Prada too.
I am beyond exciting for this.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
I think this is a movie that holds up. If
you hate Anne Hathaway, you can't hate her in this movie.
And there's another one coming, so we'll get into it.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
A couple housekeeping things.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
You heard Mark Thompson right there, Fred Rogan is gonna
be on. Fred Rogan is always a fun time, such
a great hang and he's gonna be on for Conway tonight,
so check him out at four. He has so many
great stories and he is not shy about sharing them.
I texted him to have him come on with us
to talk about it, but he hasn't gotten back to me,
(23:16):
probably because he's preparing, you know, or or I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
You know, I don't know what Fred does out there
in the desert. You know, it's freaking.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Wild West out there. Also The Fork Report. Fork Report
will be.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Broadcasting live tomorrow from Wild Fork Foods in Santa Clarita.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Have you ever been to a Wild Fork Foods? Beautiful,
great stuff there. He'll be out there two to five.
That's at Magic Mountain Parkway. There.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
There's gonna be food samples, giveaways, a barbecue, Dodger tickets,
Magic Mountain tickets, Hornblower dinner, yacht tickets. I mean, he's
giving away everything. We have like two stickers to give away.
When we do, it's gonna be great. So go check
them out two to five, Wild Fork Foods in Santa Clarita.
Four of the Fork Port Neil is also a great
(24:01):
hang as well. It'll be a fun afternoon. We're talking
to Heather Brooker al about your weekend entertainment report. As
we waged further into July, and this morning we were
hit with a new Justin Bieber album.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Have you perused this, Heather?
Speaker 4 (24:17):
I have was listening to Elmer to see if he
had checked it out as well.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
I haven't.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
I've been kind of keeping an eye out to see
where it can actually get it. I sort of out
of nowhere. Nobody knew this was even coming, and we've
all been concerned about his health and his mental health
for a while.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
We didn't nobody knew he was working on an album.
He had a.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Baby last fall. He's been with Hailey Bieber for a while.
This is that whole from what I've gathered. Ex Selena
Gomez friend that wanted to piss her off and hooked
up with him and then married him and now made
a baby and has sold her business for like billions
of dollars or something crazy.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Some kind of life I will never live. That's what's happened.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
I think she credited her with the amount of money
that she made. Is well, good for her I mean,
if you can do it, then why not?
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Yeah? Why not?
Speaker 3 (25:09):
So?
Speaker 1 (25:10):
I but I feel like the excitement factor on the
Bieber new album is not there. I mean, yesterday Elmer
was like, I'm so excited, I can't wait. I hope
that the tsunami doesn't hit before the Bieber album drops.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
And this morning I'm like, so have you heard it?
Speaker 1 (25:23):
He's like no, So I'm like, all right, nobody's that excited.
I listened to one song that was on Spotify this morning, daisies.
It was fine, it was cool. It was justin Bieber Fair.
It wasn't like the first time I heard Peaches, you know.
It wasn't like, oh, this is really good, This's gonna
be a well.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
You know, a lot of the reasons why I think
we loved his older stuff is because he works with
a very popular producer named Benny Blanco.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
And do you know who is.
Speaker 4 (25:48):
Engaged to Selena gom No?
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Oh yeah, god, that means everything.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
Yes, So Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez were getting me.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
I didn't make that. I've seen the pictures of them.
I didn't make the connection. I didn't know that he
did the producing for Bieber stuff.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
I did all the big hits that we know and
love from when Bieber was at his prime were worked on,
were produced by Benny Blanco.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
No wonder he's having mental problems, Like, I'd be pissed too.
Could you imagine your first love is hooking up with
your first love when I mean my god? So, you know,
I think it'll be interesting to see who he worked on,
like what producers he worked on with this album, if
we're gonna get a lot of the same feel, if
it's going to have a different feel to it. I
(26:35):
think his fans are excited to have new Bieber music.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
The people who are his like Ride or Dies. But
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
I mean, I've been following I've seen a lot of
his stuff on social media, and I'm concerned for him
because he seems to.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Be a little unsteady lately.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
And I don't want to like throw anything out there
that I don't know about for sure, but he seems
to be a little unsteady.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Well, I mean, he's a child star that comes with
a whole host of fun issues that you're gonna have
to deal with at some point. Well, we wish the
best for him, and I didn't know. Wow, I'm right
do you put.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
The pieces together?
Speaker 1 (27:11):
And now it's like, oh my, I have a long
drive later and I'm just gonna like totally get into
this doing musically all right, Devilwar's Prada Too is becoming
a reality. Who is coming back? Who is not coming back?
What's happening?
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Everybody is coming back? This is so exciting.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
Stanley Tucci, Yes, I believe so, Yes, we got Meryl
Streep is back, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
They are all confirmed. And what's the plot line?
Speaker 4 (27:38):
So they're not releasing a whole lot. As far as
I know about what it's going to be back about.
I imagine Anne Hathaway is still in fashion in some way,
or maybe she left fashion and has to come back.
I don't know it will see they're not releasing a lot.
But I know I don't know about you, but this
is my comfort movie. Can I play a little clip
from you that'll just give us all the feels for
(27:58):
a second.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
You can play it twice? All right?
Speaker 4 (28:02):
Oh my god, that was not it. That was a
big that was a big fail on my heart. Let's
try this again.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Here we go.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
We need Benny Blanco in here. Guys, we do apparently
all right? I guess I can't play it from me
here I usually do. But let me try this again.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
I mean, if you tell me what there is no
one that can do what I do.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Well.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
I'm not going to prove that girl that she sent
me for the Brazilian layup. I asked for keen, athletic smiling.
She said, be dirty, tired and paunching. Please just I
don't know, drizzling. Where are the belts for this?
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Why?
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Who's there? Who are you dealing with? Miranda? Oh she's
coming back? Why is fantastic character?
Speaker 1 (28:49):
It made me love Anna Wintour even more. If Anna
Wintour is a tenth of that character, Miranda, then I
will be happy.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
You know.
Speaker 4 (28:55):
I watched a documentary about Anna Wintour and like the
history of Ogue and how she created this empire. I
am not like a fashion person. You can probably tell
by the daily sweatpants and T shirt that I wear
to work. But I enjoy learning about that world and
kind of peeking into it because it seems so opulent,
so dystopian, so out of touch with everything that I
(29:18):
know that it's sort of like a train wrek. I
love watching and I'm fascinated by it. But this movie is,
I'm is my comfort movie. I don't know how often
you watch it, but I will just throw it on
just for fun and just watch it on a random
Tuesday afternoon.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Well and especially for that reason.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
I am a sofa when it comes to an ass imprint,
like whatever ass has sit on me last is kind
of how I behave if I'm with you with fashion, Like,
I am not a fashion person, but if I watch
The Devil Wears Praduct, it gets me thinking about it.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
It's arillion, what is that even?
Speaker 1 (29:51):
You know?
Speaker 2 (29:52):
And it's like it gets me thinking about it.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
It gets me excited to get dressed for work or
whatever for a while. You know, it takes it out
an impression on me, is what my point is.
Speaker 4 (30:02):
I agree me too, and I think about fashion a
lot more when I'm watching this movie. And you know
what's gonna be cool is the director is returning the
same director, so we can only hope that it's going
to have that same draw and that same.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
You know, humor to it.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
One thing I think is funny is people call Adrian
Grenier's role he was her girlfriend Andy's or excuse me
Andy's boyfriend in the film, they call him the villain.
A lot of fans consider him to be the villain
of the movie.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Did you ever feel that way, like he was the
bad guy of the movie. No, I just thought that
maybe they outgrew each other. Yeah, that's all I mean,
that's a classic thing to happen in your early twenties.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
M hmmm, that's true. That's true.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
Well, he we don't know if he's going to even
be coming back or not. But I'm excited.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
I mean, she did waste all that good cheese in
the sandwich. I think I'm still pissed over that moment.
I mean, that's Sam, which was so beautifully toasted and everything.
Speaker 4 (30:55):
Also, Anne Hathaway, how beautiful is this woman? Like she's
been acting so and she was fourteen years old. She's gorgeous,
so talented. Yeah, I am excited about this movie, very
much so, and I'm glad that you are too. And
also we got to talk about Downton Abbey at some
point too. The second movie is coming out in September
and the trailers have already started dropping.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Never I haven't seen the first and I didn't finish
the whole series. Still in the last season, but yeah,
we'll do that coming up in the next week. I
think Anne Hathaway gets a bad rap because she kind
of played the spoiled brat the Princess Diaries. Yeah, so
I think people look at her and think spoiled brat
and that's where she gets the bad rap. Well, I
think she's pretty much, compared to so many other celebs,
(31:35):
been unproblematic. I don't think I've ever seen any prabma
with her or any issues. So looking at you, Blake
Lively ring at oh my god.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Okay, that's a whole, That is your whole. Nother segment.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
All right, We've got Michael Munks coming up next. Thank you,
Heather Brooker. Keep it right here on Gary and Shannon.
