Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to kf
I A M six forty, The Gary and Shannon Show
on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Let's see here.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Do we have any celebrity news that we haven't gotten
to today? We found out yesterday that Pete Davidson is
going to be a father.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
That's exciting. No he ye, oh, nobody cares?
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Hey, no, what, no congratulations? Does that baby come out tattooed?
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Do you think, oh, maybe just like one on the forearm.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Yeah, yeah, maybe like a barbed wire or like a
bar or.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Like coordinates on the back, like on the back shoulder, yeah,
like of where the baby was born.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
I know, just an idea conversation piece.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Are we not going to talk about the creepy guy
that we don't know who it is that it just
set up shop and started working outside our office this
morning and is giving us dirty looks when we play music.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
I guess we're not going to talk about him. Have
you ever had this? Have you ever had somebody?
Speaker 1 (01:01):
I didn't know what we lived in a we work
position now here in this building, but apparently we live
in a we work position. I even said hi to
this person and nothing, no response really even a hello.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Well, you know, we broadcast into that area, so I
would be kinder right.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Well, maybe it's real's time, you know, maybe maybe there's
some music playing back there.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Oh, it does rotate around the iHeart stations here in
our cluster, so you get to hear that Bruno Mars,
Lady Gaga songbwel.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Every day at.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Michael Monks has joined us Scary and Shannon KF. I
am six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and
Michael covers all things local for KFI News. But we
thought I'm a little bit of fun with him. Michael,
I love a lost in the Woods story for a
couple of reasons. Number one, it reaffirms my decision not
(01:59):
to spend a lot of time hiking. I am married
to someone who hikes all the time. He loves it,
and I get it, and it's wonderful, and he hikes
great distances. He climbs mountains, you know, Mount Whitney, things
like that, and I do feel a little bit of
guilt that I don't go on these long hiking sojourns.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
But it just it seems like it's too much.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Does he go alone because you don't go.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Sometimes he goes with my brother quite a bit. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
I hiked alone once and they tell you not to
do this for the reason we're about to discuss. Yeah,
and I did it in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
Are you familiar with the Picture Rocks.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
All I know about northern Michigan is what Kid Rock
has told me.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
It was summertime in northern Michigan. Yeah, it's always summertime
in Northern Michigan until it's not, and then it's wintertime
in Northern Michigan and it is absolutely brutal. But the
summer in northern Michigan is great. And that's like Traverse City, Pataski.
On Lake Michigan. You go over to the up the
upper peninsula. Oh and at the tip top of that
where it touches Lake Superior, they have these gorgeous natural
(03:02):
creations called the pictured Rocks. They are breathtaking out a
spiritual moment. They We're not gonna get into that again
to day like we did yesterday. But I hiked it
by myself and it's bear country.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
How long is this hike?
Speaker 3 (03:12):
I did a ten mile Wow? Okay, alone out and back.
No one would go with me that I tend to
go to northern Michigan with every summer. It's like, I
gotta see these. They're on billboards all the way up
seventy five. It's like I got to get there. I
didn't realize how far it was from like the main
touristy area. Huge distance to get to, and then walking
through it in the middle of the day, started too late,
started to get dark, and you do lose your bearings, right,
(03:34):
and you do think, oh, this is the end. Yeah,
but I'm glad I saw that.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
You start seeing squirrels and you're like, what does your
meat taste?
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Like, well, what.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
I They tell you that there's a bear. I had
to buy hiking shoes, by the way to do that.
I'm not a hiker, and I bought a stick.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Yeah, you're a nice Witherspoon on the PC tap.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Completely but they're like, look, there are bears. And I
remember the woman who was selling me my hiking shoes,
I said, what do you do when you encounter one
of these bears? Brown bears?
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Right?
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Are the black bears? The black bears are the ones
that are such an come trip completely just a complete before.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Me boots and what do I do if I see
a bear.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
You know what she said, punch it in the nose.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Now, picture in your mind a moment city boy lost
in the woods by himself and up walks a black
bear threatening me, and I hook them with a strong right. So,
at one point deep into this trip, I'm on the descent.
I'm making it back to the main area. No one
(04:35):
is around. I hear a growl that I had never.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Heard before in my life, kind of like a.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Cow with fangs. Yeah, you know, like a cow that
was going to make me a burger.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Right.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
I was like, I don't know that sound. That must
be a bear. Now there is one thing they tell
you not to do. You want to guess what that is?
Run run? What did I do? Ran? I ran so fast,
of course from that's and I must have ran reaction.
I was forced gaunt mode.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Yeah. They say, actually with bears, to make yourself as big.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
As you can and go and all that looks good
in a pamphlet or at the shoe store.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
There's no way in hell I'm doing that running. I
am Jackie Joyer Cursey, I'm out of there.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
I was racking up gold medals running, yeah, away from
never run so fast. I ran from Lake Superior back
to Lake Michigan.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Right back to Kentucky so fast.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Sweaty, mess, dense forest up there, but I made it out.
Needless to say, don't hike alone. They mean what they.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Tell me was that your spiritual experience.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
The spiritual experiences was making it to the top and
seeing Lake Superior for the first time, and the way
that it open. I'm getting goosebumps thinking about it and
seeing those pictured rocks and these are like the sides.
It's a land formation. It's where clearly, years and years
and years ago, something separated and it just revealed this
gorgeous color on the side of the land. And to
(06:02):
see it and to touch it was amazing.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Oh that sounds beautiful.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
And I sat there for a while and I took it.
I was having such a great day until the mystery noise, right,
And keep in mind I had already been startled by
like chipmunks because it's so hustling. But there's a rustle
rustle Russell, isn't good news. Well, that's why you've had
those hiking boots. You can stop, stop, stop. These were
I had the hiking shoes that have the weird laces
that just kind of tighten, but they have the right
(06:28):
grip on them, and I needed them. I mean, this
was difficult terrain, right, but I did it ten miles
nice that's half of it. Running.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Yeah, well, yes, these I love these stories for that alone.
It's beautiful getting out there when you do. But I
also like the stories of survival when things go wrong.
I like hearing how things go wrong and people are
able to find their way out. And that is the
story we're going to tell you when we come back.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM sixty.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
When we come back from break, more often than not,
you are giggling into the mic, and now I know why,
and it's because you were saying heinous things during the breaks.
Heinous things?
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Was that heinous? I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Hey, give me a break, to give me a give
me a break here, kid.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
I feel like a single mother, all right. I've been
on my own for a couple of weeks. I've got
a lot to do. It's only me. I'm doing everything.
I'm dealing with you.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
I'm a lot. If you had a child. And by
the way, this is the Gary and Shannon Show. That's Shannon.
I'm Michael stepping in for Gary for one Measley hour
at ten o'clock until he gets back from his holiday.
If you were a mom and you had a child
and you found yourself lost in the woods, what kind
of survival instinct do you think would kick in for you?
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Hes Do you remember Nell Carter and that show Give
Me a Break? That was a great show in the eighties. Yeah,
so good?
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Why what?
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Because I just said give me a break and it
reminded me of this Give Me a breah.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I was just reading Nel Carter's
Wikipedia page. Did she die?
Speaker 2 (08:05):
She died in two thousand and three.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Why was I just looking her up?
Speaker 2 (08:08):
I have no.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Idea, because the universe wanted Nell Carter to enter the lexicon. Interesting, Wait,
what did you just ask for? If you're a mother
and you and your child have been missing, let us know.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
That's so you said.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
I can explain to you the concept of conversation okay, later,
but it does require some active listenings.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
That honestly, people listening have not been lost.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
In Well no, no, I'm setting up the story as
best I can, and you're referencing nineteen eighties sitcoms.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Welcome to the show.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Have you ever seen different strokes?
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Ah?
Speaker 3 (08:40):
So good?
Speaker 2 (08:41):
So good?
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Okay, Yeah, So this mother and her son are found
deep in the forest land in California, up in Calaveras County.
Because the woman left behind a trail of notes. There's
a couple questions that pop up in the midst of
going through this story.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
But the star I believe of the story is the
Ham radio.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
And if you are listening to this program, I would
argue that at least seventeen percent of you are Ham
radio fans. It's a great thing to have around, it's
a great thing to monitor.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
And it was a.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Guy monitoring his Ham radio that really is the hero
in the story.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Very strange turn of events. I don't know lottery level
odds that this is going to happen for you. But
this mother and the child were deep in the forest.
I guess this was in Calaveras County, and the whole
rescue team is out looking for this mom and this
son in the how do you say this, the Stanislaus
Stanislaus Stanislaus National Forest, and they were driving the mother
(09:44):
and the sun. They found themselves lost, and she had
the good sense the mother did to put a note
on one of the trails directing people to where they were.
It says, help, Me and my son are stranded with
no service and can't call nine one one. We are
ahead up the road to the right. Please call nine
(10:05):
one one to get help for us. Thank you. It's
kind of held together with it looks like she had
some duct tape in the car and a couple of rocks.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
It seems like mom might need some attention. I don't know.
You cannot buy bs on that.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
I think she's looking for a step dad for the sun.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
I mean she's.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Got HM And they said, in an effort to get help,
she and her son made several efforts to make themselves
more visible. As you mentioned, she posted notes on their trail.
Her son periodically blew a whistle three times in quick succession,
and international signal for help. As they waited out in
the night. In the dark, the woman turned on her
vehicles hazard lights. Why wouldn't you get in the vehicle
(10:45):
and leave? I think she was worried about where the
road would lead her. What they're saying is that they
were able to find a general location for these two
because before they went missing, they had shared their location
on on an app and so the rescue team used
four wheeled utility terrain vehicles. This is, according to the
(11:06):
LA Times, to scour a labyrinth like network of interconnected
roads in the area. So it seems like if you
were trying to leave in your vehicle, you might have
risked running out of gas or worse, because you don't
know where these roads lead, you might find yourself going
in circles and so being lost. I think there is
occasional advice that you should stay where you are you prepared, also,
especially if if you're a kid with you for crying
(11:28):
out loud.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Well, she brought the duct tape and paper and pen.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Yeah, that sounds odd too.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
So the forced service tape received another report from campers
who said they saw a vehicle on Friday that matched
the missing people's car. That location was in the same area,
so at that point they believe they were on the
right track.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
So anyway they are found. Thankfully because of this, the
rescuers find them. The notes and the numbers and the
telephone number or whatever. And and like you said, the
dense forest and the tree canopies made cell phones and
conventional radio frequencies useless, So they used a frequency the
(12:10):
rescuers did used for amateur radio ham radio to broadcast
an emergency alert and once you know it. Up there
in Eldorado County there's a retiree, a former communications supervisor,
probably worked in engineering. He's listening in his home on
his ham radio setup. He hears the alert and is
(12:33):
able to make contact with authorities to relay the message.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
How cool is that.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
I want to note that in this news release that
came out from the department up there, they say of
importance in the successful outcome was their pre trip notification
of telling someone where they were going. Yeah, that is key,
and when to expect them back.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
That is key. You've got to tell people.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
But it doesn't say how long they were going, for
what they were terrain this was. It just seems a
little fishy to me. It seems a little fishy.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
I don't know that you should go right to conspiracy mind.
Why Sometimes a mom and a son go for a drive, right,
you know, that's when she tells you hate dad left
for some cigarettes yesterday. We haven't heard from him, and
you're gonna learn about life really quick.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Right, You're gonna learn though, you've got to find a
new daddy. We've got to rely on a Ham radio
operator out of Elder Ada.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Would it be great if he became the new That
is a nineteen nineties Tom Hanks Meg Ryan movie.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
If I no, it's not.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
That is straight to Lifetime afternoon daytime television.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
That would not be Tom Hanks Meg Ryan.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
You think Tom Hanks is a Ham radio opera and
make Ryan's a single mom taking her son on a hike.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Note on the trail, maybe a lot of time.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Original Now that, now that I say it out loud,
I think you're right. I think you might be onto something.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Let's write that after what put like dirt on Meg
Ryan's face a little bit? Yeah, Tom Hanks, you got
to mess him up a little bit, like make him
look like he's in them, like after Forrest Gump's been
running for a while, or like he's been stranded on
that beach the volleyball.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Yeah, he's a little quirky. He's semi retired. He's or
working or living out of that airport for a while
doing some carpentry. Yeah, has the Ham radio on, here's
the signal?
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Yeah, yeah, carpentry has a fun dog Yes, what's the dog?
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Is it Scout? Is it dog Sam? Scout?
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Yeah, it's the German shepherd.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Yeah, and what happened to his family?
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Like what you know?
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Life just got in the way.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
I think he's a I think he's military veteran.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Is he a widower? Did he lose his wife in
those woods? Now we're going off lifetime.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
I think he moved to the woods to get away
from the memory of the wife who built you know who.
She was a homemaker. He couldn't live in that home
anymore in a suburb.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
You know, we are twenty feet from one that.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Was her garden. That was her garden.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Right across the street.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
How is he going to live there and walk by
that garden every day that she tended to bingo? Was
he going to hire someone to tend to those roses? No,
those were his wife's roses. So he moved up to
the woods.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
And it's just himself off, it's just him and Scout.
It's him and Scout until the signal until what the signal?
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Right, and then there's Meg Ryan and her son Boom
New Family.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Yeah, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from
KFI am six forty.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Who wasn't it was the eighties?
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Come on, I don't know. I don't remember the show
and you wouldn't either. Yes, with the shame age and
that was It was.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
A really great show. It came on, It came on
four thirty.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Well the reruns. It was a primetime sitcom. Oh wow,
you're seeing the reruns.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
I thought I saw him in the midday.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Yeah, you're seeing syndication.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
But I want to say eighty seven, eighty eight.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
What years was I bet that show came out in
nineteen eighty three.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Yeah, probably, but we weren't.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Watching television in nineteen eighty three.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
I was sat in front of the television from go
I was like that. It came out in nineteen eighty
one and ran for six seasons, So boom, I was
like that show on HBO where the kid was sat
in front of the television for a long time.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Where's that?
Speaker 1 (16:19):
I forget the name of it, and I've referenced it before,
But it was a great show. And as he lives
his life, things come up in his life and it's
a flashback to a sitcom from the sixties or the seventies,
like a scene from that that he applies to his
personal life as he gets older.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
It's a pretty creative show.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Well we need to remember it because we're going to
have a meeting with Warner Brothers to pitch this Tom
Hanks Meg Ryan vehicle that we came up with in
the last segment where Meg Ryan's lost in the woods
with their son.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Yeah, Tom Hanks, there's a little bit of a little
bit of a hiccup here. Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan
are not nineteen ninety three. Tom Hanks and Meg you
know what, Let's.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Hear from Eric who has a suggestion on that.
Speaker 5 (17:01):
Okay, Hey Shannon, Hey guys, I with the Meg Ryan
and Tom Hanks, you gotta add one more little element.
I mean, they have gone up in years with.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Two of them.
Speaker 5 (17:12):
So this kid was adopted by Meg Ryan after he
lost his mom, so that's gonna be a way for
him to bond with Tom Hanks. They talk about the
loss and the new found love in Meg Lion man.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
That's next level.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
It's deep in what I Hey shn Sorry, sorry, sorry,
sorry sorry, I'm not as good at this as I
scary as But yeah, that's he's right. So that would
be if we did the Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan today,
we would have to come up with that. The other
thing I thought of while I ran to the restroom
in the break was, wait a second, there has to
be more drama because the whole thing has to center
around the woods.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Now, Tom Hanks. Here's Jen's take on it.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Tom Hanks is a retired military man who went out
into the woods after losing his wife and young son
in a car accident on a rainy night that it's
periodically referenced and Tom Hanks his slow motion black and
white flashbacks. He trashes his cam his cabin a couple
of times in a drunken depression, while his dog sits
off in the corner looking concerned.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
I think somehow he hears the signal, he alerts the sheriff.
Who's the old who alerts the sheriff shop?
Speaker 1 (18:18):
I think the dog hears the signal and wakes up
drunken Tom.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Hanks, Ye, scout, here's the signal.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
In the hammer, and he's like, oh my god, it
seems like.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
It's the signal. So when he calls the sheriff, the
sheriff is like, the there's a storm coming. Dang it, Jim,
we can't go out there right now, it's too dangerous.
I can't lose any of my men, right so Tom.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
To live for so he has nothing to live.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
He is going to save this woman and her son.
But the storm does come, and now he's stuck with it.
It does and they have to get out of the
woods and the dog guys. Scout's there. Scout is is.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
The one who traverses the fallen tree limb over the
swollen river and is able to get to the other
side and get safety.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Let's get out of here. We gotta we gotta make
a pen.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
I mean, this is pretty good.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
I mean, we can see the Warner Brothers logo.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Yeah, I'm gonna ask you a question, and it's not
it's not it's not a question I want to ask
it doesn't. I mean, I listen, I don't want this
to happen, but I think we need to address it
early on, as early as possible.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Okay, does Scout Liver die? I know I was thinking
the same thing. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
We don't want to talk about it, we don't want
to say it, we don't need to think it.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
But we have to ask.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
As the people who have birthed this movie, like we
it's our responsibility to think about that arc.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Yeah, what if we think he dies?
Speaker 3 (19:39):
And then there is that's the that's the why, that's
the wind.
Speaker 6 (19:44):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
And like a couple of days go by and like
Tom Makes and Meg Ryan.
Speaker 6 (19:50):
They're back at the cabin with a little boy and
they're like figuring each other out and they're having like
weird coffee that's just black and there's a cream or
sugar because Tom Makes hasn't used it, and then I
and then they're crying and they're they're in blankets and
there's a fire and then all of a sudden there's
like a yes at the door.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
And then scout roll credits. Scout roll the credits. We
we've already been scooped on this. I bet somebody has
heard this. They're pitching it as we speak. It's been
optioned by three networks and we just got screwed.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
It's so much better than Sullivan's crossing. I'll just say
that right away.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
All right, we'll get into the acronym.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
We have to do this because parents want to know
what their kids are writing. If you come across these
popular texting codes. We have the secret dictionary of what
the codes mean, and some of them.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Are pretty scary. If your kids.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
If you grab your kid's cell phone and you check
the text and you see some of these, you gonna
want to look into it.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
I am unfamiliar with this song. I will be ashamed
to tell you.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Well, you would be Charlie McLain and I would be
Mickey Gilly.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
What is the gist of the song? I'm going to
wake up in your arms tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
I mean it's a love song, but a fun love song, yes,
and it would be a crowd pleaser.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
I do like the vibe of it.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
It was a period in the eighties where country music
took on a lot of pop elements to be more competitive,
and before it course corrected in nineteen eighty nine and
all through the nineties it rebounded with its traditional sound.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Love the nineties country it's the best.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
There's not a better. It's country music is disgustingly terrible.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
There's a lot of it. There's there's some good, there's
some good stuff.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
It's going through one of those phases like in the eighties,
where people are like, what is this this isn't Yeah,
this isn't what I it's being influenced by other genres,
so rightly right. It's impossible to listen to, but I
can flip on Clinton Black.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
I do it all the time, all through on those nights,
listening to Why Nona this morning, Oh I saw the light.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
I'm was singing that like a fool only love.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
I had Mary Chapin Carpenter on the last weekend while
I was clean.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
I feel lucky tonight.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
I feel lucky. Passionate kisses.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Stop at Pam tillis you want to go?
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Maybe it was Memphis, Maybe.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
It was clay Walker.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
I mean, I can be it was a crush.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
I will do this all day long.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Clay Walker amazed. Yeah, you can't beat that. Speak of
the nineties. You know, I know we're going to talk
about these acronyms that folks are texting with the kids.
I recognize a lot of these from when we were
chatting on AOL back in the Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
A lot of them are I understood a lot of them,
a lot of the texting codes. But then when you
get into the ones where they say parents may want
to have a heads up, like okay, uh, ASL.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
That was an AOL back in the day.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Age Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Age sex location CD nine or code nine is parents
are around DTF. If you don't know this, you should
parents down to f Basically, that's all you know. Whatever
parent over shoulder that that's been around to pos TDTM
talk dirty to me, blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
That's all funny. Haha. Now here are the ones that
are a little troubling.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Kill myself, kill yourself kms kys. Those are not good.
Sewer slide means suicide, does it? I don't know. I'm
not a child. Texting ment to be mental breakdown. I
thought kids say crashing out. Now I know as some
of these make me have a mental breakdown. I had
(23:29):
pasta tonight means I had suicidal thoughts.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Get out of here.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
You know what, you're too young, because if you had
pasta tonight, you love your life.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Pasta makes you happy. There's another one related to complex carbs.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Give you comfort, not suicide.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Come on, I finished my shampoo and conditioner at the
same time. First of all, that's a.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Great thing that never happens. It never ever happened.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
It never happens at the same time. They're never a line,
they're never aligned. But that's another code apparently for I'm
having suicidal thoughts.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Basically everything means I want to kill myself, according to
everyone parent magazine. This is how Parent Magazine, by the way,
sells Parent Magazine.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
They believe.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
They make you believe that your kid liked your pasta
and is going to go kill himself because of it.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
I'll tell you what what happened.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Whatever happened is I had pasta tonight, meaning I just
had pasta tonight. How about the word unlive un alive?
I hate that word means I'm dead? Or does that
mean like I am dead you killed me because I'm
laughing so hard?
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Or is that You can use it as a reflexive verb,
I unlive myself. You can use it as an action verb.
He unlived her.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
I unlived myself. Is that I cracked myself up so much?
Speaker 3 (24:36):
No, it's I killed you or I killed myself.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
But you're not dead, otherwise we won't be texting. I'm
very confused.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
You say it about someone else, perhaps.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Somebody who's dead now that you've killed.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
Yah, And I think it was created as a way
to get around any censorship in the algorithm on social
media that may block suicide or kill or murder and so.
But what's happened with that word? While it was young
people I saw using it first, Adults use it now.
And it's the same that I see with the word
disappear being turned into this strange verb usage, where so
(25:05):
and so was disappeared by authorities. I don't like that.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
I don't either. It's bad English.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
But I do get a kick out of this this
headline concerning texting codes parents should never ignore.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
In that in that list is I had pasta tonight.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
I know, but like honest to go see one of your.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Kid legit rights.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
I had pasta tonight to a friend and you're like, honey,
are you you want to kill yourself?
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Don't you? And the kids like what the heck?
Speaker 3 (25:32):
I know, like we went what are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Mom? What do you?
Speaker 1 (25:35):
What the hell? I like the meatballs get out of here.
I would say NP for NP is troubling. Naked naked
pick for naked pick? Did they even say naked? I
feel like that's dated antiquated naked pick for naked pick?
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Is anybody saying that MP fri ENDP?
Speaker 1 (25:53):
I think, well, the last time, Michael, you asked for
a naked pick.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
I've never and I mean that I wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Well I was kidding, so.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Yeah, no, no, I don't have Oh I don't want
to make my sound too I'm not going to do that.
But you just asked for you know, when you're dating
on the apps, right, I mean it's just picks, question
mark or you know, do you have any more photos? Well,
I am an adult and I try to talk like
an adult and if someone is talking to me, but
(26:21):
you ever on the apps, let's all. I met my spouse,
oh did I know that? And it was a very mature, comfortable,
professional conversation, right, because when I would talk to folks
that would take it in a different direction.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
As they wanted more Michael Monk. They wanted to see
more Michael Monks.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Yeah, it was like, well, you.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Know, no, well they want to know they're not going
to take the car out for a date without driving
it around in their minds.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
It depends on what you're looking for. If you're looking
for a hookup, then NP for NP all day long, baby,
But if you're if you're looking for a relationship, then
you don't want to see.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Your spouse younger about twenty five at the time.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Is let's say that was looking for a spouse.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
No, oh, but I was so charming, of course you were,
and just such a wonderful presence and so good at
tying them up and keeping him in the apartment. Right,
they had no choice.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
I'm still on the fence whether that's a joke or not,
because I've never met him, and I don't have evidence
that he's left the loft.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
So yeah, you've met him, but you know, we talked
about this earlier. You don't know anyone in this building.
I have you immediately forget them. They had dinner?
Speaker 2 (27:29):
What no, Oh my god. There was a moment where
I was like, did I that's awful?
Speaker 3 (27:39):
Hey, it has been another pleasure hanging out with you.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
In the ten o'clock hour mine. Thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
All right, Naked Pick for Naked Pick, Well talk swamp
watch when we come back to Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
You've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
You can always hear us live on KFI AM six
forty nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday,
and anytime on man on the iHeartRadio app.
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to kf
I A M six forty, The Gary and Shannon Show
on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Let's see here.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Do we have any celebrity news that we haven't gotten
to today? We found out yesterday that Pete Davidson is
going to be a father.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
That's exciting. No he ye, oh, nobody cares?
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Hey, no, what, no congratulations? Does that baby come out tattooed?
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Do you think, oh, maybe just like one on the forearm.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Yeah, yeah, maybe like a barbed wire or like a
bar or.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Like coordinates on the back, like on the back shoulder, yeah,
like of where the baby was born.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
I know, just an idea conversation piece.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Are we not going to talk about the creepy guy
that we don't know who it is that it just
set up shop and started working outside our office this
morning and is giving us dirty looks when we play music.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
I guess we're not going to talk about him. Have
you ever had this? Have you ever had somebody?
Speaker 1 (01:01):
I didn't know what we lived in a we work
position now here in this building, but apparently we live
in a we work position. I even said hi to
this person and nothing, no response really even a hello.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Well, you know, we broadcast into that area, so I
would be kinder right.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Well, maybe it's real's time, you know, maybe maybe there's
some music playing back there.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Oh, it does rotate around the iHeart stations here in
our cluster, so you get to hear that Bruno Mars,
Lady Gaga songbwel.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Every day at.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Michael Monks has joined us Scary and Shannon KF. I
am six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and
Michael covers all things local for KFI News. But we
thought I'm a little bit of fun with him. Michael,
I love a lost in the Woods story for a
couple of reasons. Number one, it reaffirms my decision not
(01:59):
to spend a lot of time hiking. I am married
to someone who hikes all the time. He loves it,
and I get it, and it's wonderful, and he hikes
great distances. He climbs mountains, you know, Mount Whitney, things
like that, and I do feel a little bit of
guilt that I don't go on these long hiking sojourns.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
But it just it seems like it's too much.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Does he go alone because you don't go.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Sometimes he goes with my brother quite a bit. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
I hiked alone once and they tell you not to
do this for the reason we're about to discuss. Yeah,
and I did it in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
Are you familiar with the Picture Rocks.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
All I know about northern Michigan is what Kid Rock
has told me.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
It was summertime in northern Michigan. Yeah, it's always summertime
in Northern Michigan until it's not, and then it's wintertime
in Northern Michigan and it is absolutely brutal. But the
summer in northern Michigan is great. And that's like Traverse City, Pataski.
On Lake Michigan. You go over to the up the
upper peninsula. Oh and at the tip top of that
where it touches Lake Superior, they have these gorgeous natural
(03:02):
creations called the pictured Rocks. They are breathtaking out a
spiritual moment. They We're not gonna get into that again
to day like we did yesterday. But I hiked it
by myself and it's bear country.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
How long is this hike?
Speaker 3 (03:12):
I did a ten mile Wow? Okay, alone out and back.
No one would go with me that I tend to
go to northern Michigan with every summer. It's like, I
gotta see these. They're on billboards all the way up
seventy five. It's like I got to get there. I
didn't realize how far it was from like the main
touristy area. Huge distance to get to, and then walking
through it in the middle of the day, started too late,
started to get dark, and you do lose your bearings, right,
(03:34):
and you do think, oh, this is the end. Yeah,
but I'm glad I saw that.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
You start seeing squirrels and you're like, what does your
meat taste?
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Like, well, what.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
I They tell you that there's a bear. I had
to buy hiking shoes, by the way to do that.
I'm not a hiker, and I bought a stick.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Yeah, you're a nice Witherspoon on the PC tap.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Completely but they're like, look, there are bears. And I
remember the woman who was selling me my hiking shoes,
I said, what do you do when you encounter one
of these bears? Brown bears?
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Right?
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Are the black bears? The black bears are the ones
that are such an come trip completely just a complete before.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Me boots and what do I do if I see
a bear.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
You know what she said, punch it in the nose.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Now, picture in your mind a moment city boy lost
in the woods by himself and up walks a black
bear threatening me, and I hook them with a strong right. So,
at one point deep into this trip, I'm on the descent.
I'm making it back to the main area. No one
(04:35):
is around. I hear a growl that I had never.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Heard before in my life, kind of like a.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Cow with fangs. Yeah, you know, like a cow that
was going to make me a burger.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Right.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
I was like, I don't know that sound. That must
be a bear. Now there is one thing they tell
you not to do. You want to guess what that is?
Run run? What did I do? Ran? I ran so fast,
of course from that's and I must have ran reaction.
I was forced gaunt mode.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Yeah. They say, actually with bears, to make yourself as big.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
As you can and go and all that looks good
in a pamphlet or at the shoe store.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
There's no way in hell I'm doing that running. I
am Jackie Joyer Cursey, I'm out of there.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
I was racking up gold medals running, yeah, away from
never run so fast. I ran from Lake Superior back
to Lake Michigan.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Right back to Kentucky so fast.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Sweaty, mess, dense forest up there, but I made it out.
Needless to say, don't hike alone. They mean what they.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Tell me was that your spiritual experience.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
The spiritual experiences was making it to the top and
seeing Lake Superior for the first time, and the way
that it open. I'm getting goosebumps thinking about it and
seeing those pictured rocks and these are like the sides.
It's a land formation. It's where clearly, years and years
and years ago, something separated and it just revealed this
gorgeous color on the side of the land. And to
(06:02):
see it and to touch it was amazing.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Oh that sounds beautiful.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
And I sat there for a while and I took it.
I was having such a great day until the mystery noise, right,
And keep in mind I had already been startled by
like chipmunks because it's so hustling. But there's a rustle
rustle Russell, isn't good news. Well, that's why you've had
those hiking boots. You can stop, stop, stop. These were
I had the hiking shoes that have the weird laces
that just kind of tighten, but they have the right
(06:28):
grip on them, and I needed them. I mean, this
was difficult terrain, right, but I did it ten miles
nice that's half of it. Running.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Yeah, well, yes, these I love these stories for that alone.
It's beautiful getting out there when you do. But I
also like the stories of survival when things go wrong.
I like hearing how things go wrong and people are
able to find their way out. And that is the
story we're going to tell you when we come back.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM sixty.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
When we come back from break, more often than not,
you are giggling into the mic, and now I know why,
and it's because you were saying heinous things during the breaks.
Heinous things?
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Was that heinous? I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Hey, give me a break, to give me a give
me a break here, kid.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
I feel like a single mother, all right. I've been
on my own for a couple of weeks. I've got
a lot to do. It's only me. I'm doing everything.
I'm dealing with you.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
I'm a lot. If you had a child. And by
the way, this is the Gary and Shannon Show. That's Shannon.
I'm Michael stepping in for Gary for one Measley hour
at ten o'clock until he gets back from his holiday.
If you were a mom and you had a child
and you found yourself lost in the woods, what kind
of survival instinct do you think would kick in for you?
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Hes Do you remember Nell Carter and that show Give
Me a Break? That was a great show in the eighties. Yeah,
so good?
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Why what?
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Because I just said give me a break and it
reminded me of this Give Me a breah.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I was just reading Nel Carter's
Wikipedia page. Did she die?
Speaker 2 (08:05):
She died in two thousand and three.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Why was I just looking her up?
Speaker 2 (08:08):
I have no.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Idea, because the universe wanted Nell Carter to enter the lexicon. Interesting, Wait,
what did you just ask for? If you're a mother
and you and your child have been missing, let us know.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
That's so you said.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
I can explain to you the concept of conversation okay, later,
but it does require some active listenings.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
That honestly, people listening have not been lost.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
In Well no, no, I'm setting up the story as
best I can, and you're referencing nineteen eighties sitcoms.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Welcome to the show.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Have you ever seen different strokes?
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Ah?
Speaker 3 (08:40):
So good?
Speaker 2 (08:41):
So good?
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Okay, Yeah, So this mother and her son are found
deep in the forest land in California, up in Calaveras County.
Because the woman left behind a trail of notes. There's
a couple questions that pop up in the midst of
going through this story.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
But the star I believe of the story is the
Ham radio.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
And if you are listening to this program, I would
argue that at least seventeen percent of you are Ham
radio fans. It's a great thing to have around, it's
a great thing to monitor.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
And it was a.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Guy monitoring his Ham radio that really is the hero
in the story.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Very strange turn of events. I don't know lottery level
odds that this is going to happen for you. But
this mother and the child were deep in the forest.
I guess this was in Calaveras County, and the whole
rescue team is out looking for this mom and this
son in the how do you say this, the Stanislaus
Stanislaus Stanislaus National Forest, and they were driving the mother
(09:44):
and the sun. They found themselves lost, and she had
the good sense the mother did to put a note
on one of the trails directing people to where they were.
It says, help, Me and my son are stranded with
no service and can't call nine one one. We are
ahead up the road to the right. Please call nine
(10:05):
one one to get help for us. Thank you. It's
kind of held together with it looks like she had
some duct tape in the car and a couple of rocks.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
It seems like mom might need some attention. I don't know.
You cannot buy bs on that.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
I think she's looking for a step dad for the sun.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
I mean she's.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Got HM And they said, in an effort to get help,
she and her son made several efforts to make themselves
more visible. As you mentioned, she posted notes on their trail.
Her son periodically blew a whistle three times in quick succession,
and international signal for help. As they waited out in
the night. In the dark, the woman turned on her
vehicles hazard lights. Why wouldn't you get in the vehicle
(10:45):
and leave? I think she was worried about where the
road would lead her. What they're saying is that they
were able to find a general location for these two
because before they went missing, they had shared their location
on on an app and so the rescue team used
four wheeled utility terrain vehicles. This is, according to the
(11:06):
LA Times, to scour a labyrinth like network of interconnected
roads in the area. So it seems like if you
were trying to leave in your vehicle, you might have
risked running out of gas or worse, because you don't
know where these roads lead, you might find yourself going
in circles and so being lost. I think there is
occasional advice that you should stay where you are you prepared, also,
especially if if you're a kid with you for crying
(11:28):
out loud.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Well, she brought the duct tape and paper and pen.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Yeah, that sounds odd too.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
So the forced service tape received another report from campers
who said they saw a vehicle on Friday that matched
the missing people's car. That location was in the same area,
so at that point they believe they were on the
right track.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
So anyway they are found. Thankfully because of this, the
rescuers find them. The notes and the numbers and the
telephone number or whatever. And and like you said, the
dense forest and the tree canopies made cell phones and
conventional radio frequencies useless, So they used a frequency the
(12:10):
rescuers did used for amateur radio ham radio to broadcast
an emergency alert and once you know it. Up there
in Eldorado County there's a retiree, a former communications supervisor,
probably worked in engineering. He's listening in his home on
his ham radio setup. He hears the alert and is
(12:33):
able to make contact with authorities to relay the message.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
How cool is that.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
I want to note that in this news release that
came out from the department up there, they say of
importance in the successful outcome was their pre trip notification
of telling someone where they were going. Yeah, that is key,
and when to expect them back.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
That is key. You've got to tell people.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
But it doesn't say how long they were going, for
what they were terrain this was. It just seems a
little fishy to me. It seems a little fishy.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
I don't know that you should go right to conspiracy mind.
Why Sometimes a mom and a son go for a drive, right,
you know, that's when she tells you hate dad left
for some cigarettes yesterday. We haven't heard from him, and
you're gonna learn about life really quick.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Right, You're gonna learn though, you've got to find a
new daddy. We've got to rely on a Ham radio
operator out of Elder Ada.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Would it be great if he became the new That
is a nineteen nineties Tom Hanks Meg Ryan movie.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
If I no, it's not.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
That is straight to Lifetime afternoon daytime television.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
That would not be Tom Hanks Meg Ryan.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
You think Tom Hanks is a Ham radio opera and
make Ryan's a single mom taking her son on a hike.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Note on the trail, maybe a lot of time.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Original Now that, now that I say it out loud,
I think you're right. I think you might be onto something.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Let's write that after what put like dirt on Meg
Ryan's face a little bit? Yeah, Tom Hanks, you got
to mess him up a little bit, like make him
look like he's in them, like after Forrest Gump's been
running for a while, or like he's been stranded on
that beach the volleyball.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Yeah, he's a little quirky. He's semi retired. He's or
working or living out of that airport for a while
doing some carpentry. Yeah, has the Ham radio on, here's
the signal?
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Yeah, yeah, carpentry has a fun dog Yes, what's the dog?
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Is it Scout? Is it dog Sam? Scout?
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Yeah, it's the German shepherd.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Yeah, and what happened to his family?
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Like what you know?
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Life just got in the way.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
I think he's a I think he's military veteran.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Is he a widower? Did he lose his wife in
those woods? Now we're going off lifetime.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
I think he moved to the woods to get away
from the memory of the wife who built you know who.
She was a homemaker. He couldn't live in that home
anymore in a suburb.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
You know, we are twenty feet from one that.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Was her garden. That was her garden.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Right across the street.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
How is he going to live there and walk by
that garden every day that she tended to bingo? Was
he going to hire someone to tend to those roses? No,
those were his wife's roses. So he moved up to
the woods.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
And it's just himself off, it's just him and Scout.
It's him and Scout until the signal until what the signal?
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Right, and then there's Meg Ryan and her son Boom
New Family.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Yeah, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from
KFI am six forty.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Who wasn't it was the eighties?
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Come on, I don't know. I don't remember the show
and you wouldn't either. Yes, with the shame age and
that was It was.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
A really great show. It came on, It came on
four thirty.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Well the reruns. It was a primetime sitcom. Oh wow,
you're seeing the reruns.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
I thought I saw him in the midday.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Yeah, you're seeing syndication.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
But I want to say eighty seven, eighty eight.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
What years was I bet that show came out in
nineteen eighty three.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Yeah, probably, but we weren't.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Watching television in nineteen eighty three.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
I was sat in front of the television from go
I was like that. It came out in nineteen eighty
one and ran for six seasons, So boom, I was
like that show on HBO where the kid was sat
in front of the television for a long time.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Where's that?
Speaker 1 (16:19):
I forget the name of it, and I've referenced it before,
But it was a great show. And as he lives
his life, things come up in his life and it's
a flashback to a sitcom from the sixties or the seventies,
like a scene from that that he applies to his
personal life as he gets older.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
It's a pretty creative show.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Well we need to remember it because we're going to
have a meeting with Warner Brothers to pitch this Tom
Hanks Meg Ryan vehicle that we came up with in
the last segment where Meg Ryan's lost in the woods
with their son.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Yeah, Tom Hanks, there's a little bit of a little
bit of a hiccup here. Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan
are not nineteen ninety three. Tom Hanks and Meg you
know what, Let's.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Hear from Eric who has a suggestion on that.
Speaker 5 (17:01):
Okay, Hey Shannon, Hey guys, I with the Meg Ryan
and Tom Hanks, you gotta add one more little element.
I mean, they have gone up in years with.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Two of them.
Speaker 5 (17:12):
So this kid was adopted by Meg Ryan after he
lost his mom, so that's gonna be a way for
him to bond with Tom Hanks. They talk about the
loss and the new found love in Meg Lion man.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
That's next level.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
It's deep in what I Hey shn Sorry, sorry, sorry,
sorry sorry, I'm not as good at this as I
scary as But yeah, that's he's right. So that would
be if we did the Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan today,
we would have to come up with that. The other
thing I thought of while I ran to the restroom
in the break was, wait a second, there has to
be more drama because the whole thing has to center
around the woods.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Now, Tom Hanks. Here's Jen's take on it.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Tom Hanks is a retired military man who went out
into the woods after losing his wife and young son
in a car accident on a rainy night that it's
periodically referenced and Tom Hanks his slow motion black and
white flashbacks. He trashes his cam his cabin a couple
of times in a drunken depression, while his dog sits
off in the corner looking concerned.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
I think somehow he hears the signal, he alerts the sheriff.
Who's the old who alerts the sheriff shop?
Speaker 1 (18:18):
I think the dog hears the signal and wakes up
drunken Tom.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Hanks, Ye, scout, here's the signal.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
In the hammer, and he's like, oh my god, it
seems like.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
It's the signal. So when he calls the sheriff, the
sheriff is like, the there's a storm coming. Dang it, Jim,
we can't go out there right now, it's too dangerous.
I can't lose any of my men, right so Tom.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
To live for so he has nothing to live.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
He is going to save this woman and her son.
But the storm does come, and now he's stuck with it.
It does and they have to get out of the
woods and the dog guys. Scout's there. Scout is is.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
The one who traverses the fallen tree limb over the
swollen river and is able to get to the other
side and get safety.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Let's get out of here. We gotta we gotta make
a pen.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
I mean, this is pretty good.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
I mean, we can see the Warner Brothers logo.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Yeah, I'm gonna ask you a question, and it's not
it's not it's not a question I want to ask
it doesn't. I mean, I listen, I don't want this
to happen, but I think we need to address it
early on, as early as possible.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Okay, does Scout Liver die? I know I was thinking
the same thing. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
We don't want to talk about it, we don't want
to say it, we don't need to think it.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
But we have to ask.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
As the people who have birthed this movie, like we
it's our responsibility to think about that arc.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Yeah, what if we think he dies?
Speaker 3 (19:39):
And then there is that's the that's the why, that's
the wind.
Speaker 6 (19:44):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
And like a couple of days go by and like
Tom Makes and Meg Ryan.
Speaker 6 (19:50):
They're back at the cabin with a little boy and
they're like figuring each other out and they're having like
weird coffee that's just black and there's a cream or
sugar because Tom Makes hasn't used it, and then I
and then they're crying and they're they're in blankets and
there's a fire and then all of a sudden there's
like a yes at the door.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
And then scout roll credits. Scout roll the credits. We
we've already been scooped on this. I bet somebody has
heard this. They're pitching it as we speak. It's been
optioned by three networks and we just got screwed.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
It's so much better than Sullivan's crossing. I'll just say
that right away.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
All right, we'll get into the acronym.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
We have to do this because parents want to know
what their kids are writing. If you come across these
popular texting codes. We have the secret dictionary of what
the codes mean, and some of them.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Are pretty scary. If your kids.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
If you grab your kid's cell phone and you check
the text and you see some of these, you gonna
want to look into it.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
I am unfamiliar with this song. I will be ashamed
to tell you.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Well, you would be Charlie McLain and I would be
Mickey Gilly.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
What is the gist of the song? I'm going to
wake up in your arms tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
I mean it's a love song, but a fun love song, yes,
and it would be a crowd pleaser.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
I do like the vibe of it.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
It was a period in the eighties where country music
took on a lot of pop elements to be more competitive,
and before it course corrected in nineteen eighty nine and
all through the nineties it rebounded with its traditional sound.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Love the nineties country it's the best.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
There's not a better. It's country music is disgustingly terrible.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
There's a lot of it. There's there's some good, there's
some good stuff.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
It's going through one of those phases like in the eighties,
where people are like, what is this this isn't Yeah,
this isn't what I it's being influenced by other genres,
so rightly right. It's impossible to listen to, but I
can flip on Clinton Black.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
I do it all the time, all through on those nights,
listening to Why Nona this morning, Oh I saw the light.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
I'm was singing that like a fool only love.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
I had Mary Chapin Carpenter on the last weekend while
I was clean.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
I feel lucky tonight.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
I feel lucky. Passionate kisses.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Stop at Pam tillis you want to go?
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Maybe it was Memphis, Maybe.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
It was clay Walker.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
I mean, I can be it was a crush.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
I will do this all day long.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Clay Walker amazed. Yeah, you can't beat that. Speak of
the nineties. You know, I know we're going to talk
about these acronyms that folks are texting with the kids.
I recognize a lot of these from when we were
chatting on AOL back in the Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
A lot of them are I understood a lot of them,
a lot of the texting codes. But then when you
get into the ones where they say parents may want
to have a heads up, like okay, uh, ASL.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
That was an AOL back in the day.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Age Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Age sex location CD nine or code nine is parents
are around DTF. If you don't know this, you should
parents down to f Basically, that's all you know. Whatever
parent over shoulder that that's been around to pos TDTM
talk dirty to me, blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
That's all funny. Haha. Now here are the ones that
are a little troubling.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Kill myself, kill yourself kms kys. Those are not good.
Sewer slide means suicide, does it? I don't know. I'm
not a child. Texting ment to be mental breakdown. I
thought kids say crashing out. Now I know as some
of these make me have a mental breakdown. I had
(23:29):
pasta tonight means I had suicidal thoughts.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Get out of here.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
You know what, you're too young, because if you had
pasta tonight, you love your life.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Pasta makes you happy. There's another one related to complex carbs.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Give you comfort, not suicide.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Come on, I finished my shampoo and conditioner at the
same time. First of all, that's a.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Great thing that never happens. It never ever happened.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
It never happens at the same time. They're never a line,
they're never aligned. But that's another code apparently for I'm
having suicidal thoughts.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Basically everything means I want to kill myself, according to
everyone parent magazine. This is how Parent Magazine, by the way,
sells Parent Magazine.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
They believe.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
They make you believe that your kid liked your pasta
and is going to go kill himself because of it.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
I'll tell you what what happened.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Whatever happened is I had pasta tonight, meaning I just
had pasta tonight. How about the word unlive un alive?
I hate that word means I'm dead? Or does that
mean like I am dead you killed me because I'm
laughing so hard?
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Or is that You can use it as a reflexive verb,
I unlive myself. You can use it as an action verb.
He unlived her.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
I unlived myself. Is that I cracked myself up so much?
Speaker 3 (24:36):
No, it's I killed you or I killed myself.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
But you're not dead, otherwise we won't be texting. I'm
very confused.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
You say it about someone else, perhaps.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Somebody who's dead now that you've killed.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
Yah, And I think it was created as a way
to get around any censorship in the algorithm on social
media that may block suicide or kill or murder and so.
But what's happened with that word? While it was young
people I saw using it first, Adults use it now.
And it's the same that I see with the word
disappear being turned into this strange verb usage, where so
(25:05):
and so was disappeared by authorities. I don't like that.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
I don't either. It's bad English.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
But I do get a kick out of this this
headline concerning texting codes parents should never ignore.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
In that in that list is I had pasta tonight.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
I know, but like honest to go see one of your.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Kid legit rights.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
I had pasta tonight to a friend and you're like, honey,
are you you want to kill yourself?
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Don't you? And the kids like what the heck?
Speaker 3 (25:32):
I know, like we went what are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Mom? What do you?
Speaker 1 (25:35):
What the hell? I like the meatballs get out of here.
I would say NP for NP is troubling. Naked naked
pick for naked pick? Did they even say naked? I
feel like that's dated antiquated naked pick for naked pick?
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Is anybody saying that MP fri ENDP?
Speaker 1 (25:53):
I think, well, the last time, Michael, you asked for
a naked pick.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
I've never and I mean that I wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Well I was kidding, so.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Yeah, no, no, I don't have Oh I don't want
to make my sound too I'm not going to do that.
But you just asked for you know, when you're dating
on the apps, right, I mean it's just picks, question
mark or you know, do you have any more photos? Well,
I am an adult and I try to talk like
an adult and if someone is talking to me, but
(26:21):
you ever on the apps, let's all. I met my spouse,
oh did I know that? And it was a very mature, comfortable,
professional conversation, right, because when I would talk to folks
that would take it in a different direction.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
As they wanted more Michael Monk. They wanted to see
more Michael Monks.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Yeah, it was like, well, you.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Know, no, well they want to know they're not going
to take the car out for a date without driving
it around in their minds.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
It depends on what you're looking for. If you're looking
for a hookup, then NP for NP all day long, baby,
But if you're if you're looking for a relationship, then
you don't want to see.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Your spouse younger about twenty five at the time.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Is let's say that was looking for a spouse.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
No, oh, but I was so charming, of course you were,
and just such a wonderful presence and so good at
tying them up and keeping him in the apartment. Right,
they had no choice.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
I'm still on the fence whether that's a joke or not,
because I've never met him, and I don't have evidence
that he's left the loft.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
So yeah, you've met him, but you know, we talked
about this earlier. You don't know anyone in this building.
I have you immediately forget them. They had dinner?
Speaker 2 (27:29):
What no, Oh my god. There was a moment where
I was like, did I that's awful?
Speaker 3 (27:39):
Hey, it has been another pleasure hanging out with you.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
