Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
A M six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app. Would you like your Jeopardy question?
I can't believe it's already now? Today is really getting
away from us?
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Crazy day?
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Isn't it a crazy day today? And I don't know
how that happened? Spell out your response for one thousand dollars.
You're spelling this is awful?
Speaker 1 (00:26):
A long word for a person you know that's not
a close friend, often nodding or casual, say.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
The first party game, because it says.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Mickerson, A long word for a person you know that's
not a close friend.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Oh oh, okay, you know, but it's not a close friend.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
All right?
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Ready, yep?
Speaker 4 (00:51):
What is acqu ai n t e ncee? No, it
was a ncque tent?
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Yeah, queen, that was a real Sophie's choice. There you
have gotten that? That was I don't know if I
may have gone with e as well?
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Are we losing our spelling abilities because the computers change everything?
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Well, yesterday you got millennium wrong? Who gets millennium right?
Can you still do calculus? Some? Really? A little? Not
a lot I'll pull something a lie.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
For a life for you or to you. I will
not do either one. What else is going on?
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Time for what's happening.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
The Trump administration.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
It looks like they're going to block democratic democratic controlled
states from accessing billions of dollars they need to run
the SNAP programs unless governors turnover benefits roles to federal
officials to check them out. One of the issues that
came out of the government shutdown was that once everything
got back online, the Department of Agriculture, which runs SNAP
(02:04):
programs in different states, was going to reassess everybody. They
were going to have everybody reapply, basically to prove that
they deserve those SNAP benefits. I think this is sort
of an offshoot of that as well.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
House Democrats are releasing new images of Epstein's private Caribbean island.
These are images and videos taken in twenty twenty, a
year after he died in jail, and it shows his
sex offender home and.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
It is bizarre.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
These are a handful of photos and videos from his
private Caribbean island named bedrooms, a telephone, what appears to
be an office or a library. I'm looking at them
and it's just eerie and weird. There is a chalkboard
on which the words fit in intellectual deception and power
(03:03):
are written. One photo, this is the most curious of
them all. One photo shows a room with a dentist
chair and masks hanging on the wall. Now, The New
York Times reported that Epstein's last girlfriend was a dentist
who shared an office with one of his shell companies.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
So maybe that's what that's all about. Oh right, there's.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
A telephone that you haven't seen since you grew up.
If you grew up and the year was nineteen ninety four,
a telephone you haven't seen since nineteen.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Ninety see or did have the touchdown? This fun? Oh
like an office version.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Right, but like when office phones were sometimes in the home.
But yeah, the bedroom looks all very clinical.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
It's it's all very eerie. That's the only word I
can continue to say. Well, let me cleanse your palette
a little bit.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
The la Zoos celebrated its fifth great ape birth of
the year, the arrival of a Western Lowland gorilla infant,
just on Saturday, the twenty second what's its name, adding
to the remarkable string of births they have not named
it yet because they do not know the gender yet.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
What does that matter?
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Mom is Indisia. Thirty one year old mom Indija and
thirty eight year old dad a silver ba goerrilla named Kelly.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
So mom and dad both have names that could be
boys or girls' names. Yeah, so why don't we name
this this? Look at that? A look at that?
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Oh my goodness, look at him, her them?
Speaker 3 (04:34):
And that's that's only like a week. Ah. What would
you name that baby? Ape?
Speaker 4 (04:39):
Trevor Trevor, Yeah, it seems really tired and grumpy right now.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
You think Trevor's tired and grumpy. I think I think
this baby's name is.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
Taken too long. You got to go with your first
gut instinct. Okay, here taking way too long.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Now. Well, there's a lot going on in the baby's face.
I told you he looked tired of me.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Now I can understand why moms take a long time
to name their babies sometimes, because I'm looking at this
baby's face.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
It's saying different things to me. Moose, I would name it. Moose.
Could be a girl or a baby's name, or a
boy's name. One of the is that a great girl's name?
Speaker 5 (05:27):
No, Moose, it's kind of sexy.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
One of the doctors implicated in Matthew Perry's death is
facing sentencing for supplying the actor with ketamine before he died.
In October twenty three, Salvador Placensia, known as Doctor Plea
Sorry Doctor p pleaded guilty to four felony accounts of
ketamine distribution back in July.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
There are some housing markets that are said to be
set to heat up in twenty twenty six around New York,
Long Island, Hudson Valley, Northern New Jersey. Connecticut's Fairfield County
has been the trend. Cities in the Midwest they say
are heating up Cleveland, Saint Louis, Minneapolis, Madison. If you
(06:16):
like the cold, some of those places are great cities
and affordable as well, looking at you Minneapolis, Indianapolis as well.
Multiple cities in the Northeast will see notable home sales
growth next year. Worcester, Massachusetts, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Hartford, Connecticut, Providence,
Rhode Island, Rochester, New York, I Love Providence, and then.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Toledo, Ohio.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
Yeah, all the places that you're never going to leave,
You're never going to leave.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
I've never been to Toledo.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
You made a sound that made it seem like you
certainly had and would never go back.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
No, never been. Where is what is that close to? Ohio?
Speaker 6 (06:55):
No?
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Yeah, thank you? I mean where wed you fly into?
Speaker 1 (07:01):
If you're oh yeah, it's right there on Oh yeah,
that looks very cold?
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Is it all right?
Speaker 6 (07:06):
Lake?
Speaker 1 (07:06):
It's on the lake just to the west of Cleveland,
south of Detroit. I mean, is there anything better than
having Cleveland and Detroit right within reach?
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Yes, the wind carries it correctly, one or the other.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
We told you about the wind that's coming in through
southern California today and tomorrow, the wind advisories that are
up in many places. This powerful Arctic blast is going
to cause very low temperatures across fifteen states, most of
it tomorrow and Friday. Thirty record lows could fall across
these different states. There's a disruption in the polar vortex,
(07:45):
it becomes weak, it pushes colder air south towards the
United States and Canada. And as we've said in other
times before, what makes this one unique is that it's
going to dip not just into those areas the Midwest,
but down into the South as well. Where will see
temperatures well below freezing in some cases.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
All right, coming up next, Pope Leo. His brand is emerging.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
What is it? We'll tell you.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
One thing I love about Leo is he's not touching
the controversial stuff.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
He's like, I'm not getting involved in that. He's just
sticking a regular Cobies, Go cubs.
Speaker 7 (08:18):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (08:19):
White Sox guy, Oh right, that whole cur but go
white Sox. And here's what we do as Catholics.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Yeah, Gary and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
Also, it's what you're watching Wednesday. Let us know what
you have been watching. Send us a message on the
talkback feature on the iHeart app. Just sit that little
button and tell us what your favorite show is or
maybe one to avoid so they're won't waste our time
on it.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Federal immigration crackdown has begun in New Orleans under an operation.
The Homeland Security says it's going to target violent criminals
Homeland Securities Department. Homeland Security Department's Assistant secretary said that
the aim of the operation is to capture the immigrants
who were released after their arrests.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
For crimes like home invasion, arm robbery, rape, and things
like that.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Admiral Frank Mitchell Bradley do on Capitol Hill tomorrow to
answer questions from lawmakers about that strike on suspected Narco
terras in the Caribbean back in September in ordering a
second strike that killed two of the survivors of the
first strike, originally clinging to the burning wreckage of that boat,
something that his superiors say they did not specifically order
(09:30):
him to do. Admiral Bradley is apparently the one who
is now technically on the hot seat potential legal jeopardy.
So tomorrow he said it to Capitol Hills closed closed
door meetings, I should say, with lawmakers. Both Republicans and
Democrats have expressed concern about the legality of this ongoing campaign.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
The first American Pope, Pope Leo the People's Pope, seems
to be finding his voice. He had a debut foreign
trip to Turkey and Lebanon, and Pope Leo the four
eh showed off his papal brand more guarded, less polarizing
than Pope Francis. Pope Francis had people fall into their
(10:11):
knees with the vapors and the clutching of the pearls.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
But they say that this Pope Leo, he is subtler
than Pope Francis.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
He has resisted the temptation to give a sound bite
that's easy to use as a headline.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
They say he has yet to stake out.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Any concrete positions, let alone sharp critiques on any major issue.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
And why should he? Why would the pope?
Speaker 1 (10:44):
You know, that's not the Pope's role is to get
into controversy. I mean the positions of the church are
kind of asked and answered at this point. Sure they
evolve a little bit, the needle moves a little bit
here and there.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
But pretty much to Catholic churches what it is.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Why get into politics and all of those things if
you're just trying to promote.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
God and people's life with Jesus.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
I suspect that the more you rely on the pope
for those things in your faith to resolve or answer
questions of your faith, maybe people assume that that same
(11:33):
person is going to be able to answer questions about.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
About just general life.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
I'm not a big fan of that. I go to
you know, I got.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Tom Brady to Tom Brady to lead my team to victory, right,
But I and I respect his ability to make decisions
on the football field, but I won't take Tom Brady's
opinion on what I'm going to do with my kids,
you know what I mean. I would take the Pope's
opinion on how to follow my religion and how to
follow the word of the Lord and all of those things,
(12:06):
but I wouldn't take my opinion on other things from
the Pope.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
You know, there's not one for pizza or something like that.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Yeah, there's just not one person who you should go
to for all of your life lessons, right, or how
to do things. I think that gets a little dangerous.
That's like cult like stuff right there. You know, you
go to someone for their specialty. The Pope's specialty is
the Bible and exposing more people to the Bible and
(12:34):
having more people believe in God.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
And things like that, right, things like that, things like that,
things of that nature, other extraneous stuff.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
He was a surprise pick, a lower profile, so he
was a bit of mystery for many Catholics. They say
he had a very quiet summer of study and preparation,
which just means a crash course and how not to
step in a pile of dog crap, weighing into controversy
probably quicker than you need to. He has talked about
(13:01):
detained migrants in the US.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
But all he has said is that there should be
deep reflection about the treatment of migrants, is all he said.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
And I think everyone can agree on that. That's nothing
controversial or provocative. But they say, he's just kind of
like this geeky kid from the Midwest, and who doesn't
like that?
Speaker 4 (13:21):
So I was going to say that, I know that
there has been a clamoring in the Catholic Church for
someone to be more progressive in some cases. But when
you think of I mean the pope that we grew
up with, which was Pope John Paul the Second, he
was also that he was this guy.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
I mean, he was that kind of.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
Lower He was that guy, user friendly, lower profile, user friendly.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Yeah, it was like somebody that was approachable and listen.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
I know other people probably have other popes in mind.
But because John Paul the Second was in the papacy
as long as he was, that's who I look, That's
who I envision when you say something, when you say pope,
I don't think Benedict that guy looked like the Emperor
from the Star Wars movie, right, And I don't think
(14:12):
of I don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
It's like when you think of a football coach and
you think Tom Landry, you don't think Mike McDaniel and
Is Joggers, right. I mean, there's certain people from your
childhood that you know they became the role for you forever.
Probably you know, I look at like Reagan and Pope,
John Paul the Second and Tom Landry, and you know
all those guys that were just like the epitome because
(14:35):
you're a kid and you're learning that's who that person is,
that this is the epitome of the pope or the
epitome of the.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
Coach for you. Plus, like I said, I think they
lasted longer. I mean you think Reagan was in office
for eight years. I don't remember how long Tom Tom
Landry seemed like he was head coach of the Cowboys
for forty years.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Yeah, let's find out.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
I'm going to guess eighteen years Tom Landry aas coach
when tea, Wait, hold on, hold on?
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Is this correct? You have to do math? Twenty nine years? WHOA?
So you are right right? The first start the last time.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
There's a reason we think of him as the head coach.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Is the quintessential head coach twenty nine years My god.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Hey, yesterday we were out at the Anaheim Whitehouse Restaurant
for our fifteenth annual Pastathon, and we wanted to thank
everybody who came out, everybody who donated, everybody who dropped
off pasta and sauce. It was a smashing success once
again and absolute proof of the generosity of you, the
KFI listener.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
As of eight o'clock last night.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
We raised nine hundred and fifty five thousand dollars and
on top of that, ninety two thousand, four hundred and
six pounds of pasta and sauce. And the best part is,
even if you missed it yesterday, we are not done
because the smartin Final stores and the Wendy's restaurant locations
(15:57):
around southern California are going to be taking donations through
Sunday night. And if you know where one of those
giving machine locations, there's actually video on our Instagram at
Gary and Shannon where you see Shannon using the giving
machine to buy a sheep hot to beach San Clemente,
San Diego and Riverside they're all taking donations for the
(16:18):
KFI Postathon through December thirtieth. So again Smart and Final
and Wendy's through Sunday, and then those giving machines are
going to be taking donations for KFI Postathon through December thirtieth.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
I've been recommending all her Fault on Peacock to everybody
because I think that everybody's gonna love it.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
It's a cool show.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
It's fun, it's dramatic, it makes you cringe a lot
of twists. We'll talk about what else you're watching when
we come back.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
A bunch of stories going on today. The Pentagons at
Watchdog has found that Defense Secretary Pete Hegsef may have
put US personnel on their mission at risk when he
used the Signal Messaging app if you remember that from
the a couple of months ago, using information about military
strike against militants in Yemen. Except denied posting any classified
(17:09):
information regarding plans for a military strike, but the review
by the Pentagon Inspector General's Office was delivered to lawmakers.
They were able to review the report in their glassified Facillitay, they're.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Doubling down and going after him hard because he's already
got this Caribbean boat mess that he's dealing with, and
now they're bringing back up signal Gate.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
President Trump is at the White House right now announcing
a proposal that would weaken vehicle mileage rules for the
auto industry and also ease some of the pressure on
those car makers to control pollution from the gasoline powered
cars and trucks. The President has said that this is
an action that would make cars more affordable and said
that it would roll back some aspects of the Green
(17:49):
New Deal that were passed by the Biden administration.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
It is a what you watch in Wednesday. The following
program is brought to you in living color. But you're watching.
Americans love television.
Speaker 8 (18:02):
They win their kids on USA television much beta you've been.
Speaker 7 (18:06):
Watching too many of those live television shows.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
I've been recommending this ever since. It was recommended to
me by Deborah Mark. Deborah Mark texted me, so you've
got to see all her fault on Peacock and I
watched it. It's good from the beginning, but man, it
gets so much better. Didn't I tell you that you did,
and the twists are great and they keep it keeps
(18:30):
you on your toes.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
It's well acted.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
My mom is a big fan of Sarah Snook, who
was in Succession, and she plays the lead and all
her fault and it's a really great cast and and
it's just a fun watch and it's thrilling but not
making me feel anxious.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
It's just it's real good.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
So the basics of it from what I've only seen
the first episode, but the basics of it are Sarah
Snook plays the lead character, young mother and her child
goes missing. I mean right away. There's not a lot
of lead up to it. It's just immediately she goes
to pick up her kid from a friend's house, from
one of the other mothers in the and the kid's
(19:11):
not there. And it from I mean from the jump,
it is tense. It is frustrating.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
It got it was one of those shows slash books
because I believe it was a book that I always
write off because it's mom stuff and I don't relate
as much, like, oh, working mom, And here she is
and she's trying to do her job and she drops
off the kid and the kid is it goes missing
and then it's going to be all about her feeling guilty. Okay,
that lasts for about ninety seven seconds, and then it's
(19:40):
completely engrossing. Every character keeps you wondering what's going on.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Yeah, and there's some aspects of it.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
And again I've only seen the first episode, so I
don't know the secrets, but you can tell that they're
gonna pay off some of this stuff.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
In that first episode.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
There are moments where these different characters reveals something or
you can tell based on the way they're acting or
reacting to something they have something to hip or.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
You think you can tell or you think you can tell.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
So there's that, and then of course the teas at
the end of episode one is Michael Pina playing the detective,
looking at the cast of characters in front of him,
sort of as a lineup, and there's eight pictures up
there and he's like, I never would have thought it,
These nice people killing each other?
Speaker 3 (20:26):
What?
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Yeah, Exactly every episode there's something like that to get
you to the next one. It's not one of those
shows where just give it four episodes, just give it
six hours of your life and then you'll see No, no, no, it's.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Not like that.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
It's from the go, it gets you, and it's one
of the few shows that I've really enjoyed that I've
recommended to My husband, who doesn't watch a lot of television,
is super picky when it comes to what he's going
to spend his screen time on.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
And I think men will like this one just as
much as women will.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
I it's funny because my wife and I were trying
to figure out what we're gonna watch last night, and
I knew this was you had suggested that I couldn't
remember where you said it was.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
This.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
All Her Fault is on Peacock. By the way, it's
on Peacock, but there was on Netflix. There was a
show that we saw the trailer for, and it's called
The Beast in Me. I saw that Claire Danes and
Matthew Reid.
Speaker 5 (21:13):
I saw that right before I watched this one. So
we saw the trailer and I was like, that seems awful,
not bad, like it's well, you're not well done. It
just seems like it would just be so heavy and
tense and frustrating. And so then we see the trailer
for All Her Fault, I'm like, well, it's just a kidnapping. Oh,
(21:34):
that's gonna be That's going to be an easy, an
easy swallow if to get through that.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
The Beast in Me was good. It was good. It
kept my attention. All her fault knocks it out of
the park.
Speaker 5 (21:45):
Really okay, So we made the right choice then, as
the Beast in Me was a nice warm up for
all her fault. I need to get a life. I
need to get some sort of hobby.
Speaker 4 (21:55):
We have also been watching land Man season two. It
comes out on Paramount Plus on.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Size land Man. It's one of those shows that.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
I'm not a gigantic Billy Bob Thornton fan in general
outside of like sling Blade and some of the great
stuff that he's done, but this character seems to be
so well written specifically for him.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Well, and.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Everybody in land Man is great. And now what's his name? Mustache?
Deep voice? Why am I mixing up?
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (22:30):
You haven't gotten there yet. You've only watched one episode.
You know, Diamond, he's in all the westerns.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Oh? Sam? Yes, Sam? What's his name? Sam? Is it Sam?
Speaker 6 (22:43):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (22:43):
It's Sam something. Why can't you remember? It's beef? It's
what's for dinner? Yeah? Yeah, that guy? Someone Sam Elliott?
Thank you. Oh my god, that was the worst one
we've we've done. It's Sam Neil, we're getting old, no kids.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Sam, No, there is at least this is a terror
Taylor Sheridan kind of thing. I think there's at least
one line in every episode that is stellar, whether it
is a Billy Bob Thornton off the cuff line, or
(23:20):
it is a line that is delivered and it is
given oxygen to sit and there's at least one line
that's like, that was a great freaking line. And Sam
Elliott has a great freaking line in episode two or
one at the end of one or two. But anyway,
it's just well acted and there's people that you root for,
(23:42):
all of them, you know, and their fault they're they're
faults and they're and sometimes it's overblown, like sometimes the
Ali Larder stuff is out overblown, but who cares because
she's hot.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
She and the daughter.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
Yeah, I think the the uh Michelle Randolph, I think
is plays the daughter Ainsley in There's been some criticism
I've seen in a couple of different places that Taylor
Sheridan doesn't know how to write for women, that they
that their characters are very one note.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
I used to say that you got to just get
over it.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
But one of the main the main drivers in this
second season is Demi Moore, the widow of you know,
John Hamm died in the Sorry John Hamm's character dies
at the end of season one, so so she Demi
Moore is kind of thrust into this position of being
the reluctant oil tycoon.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Excellent point.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
He writes, if he wrote for her, he writes spectacularly
for a woman in that position. Yeah, really well done.
But again it's I think it's I think what he does.
It's not that he can't write for women. He puts
in gratuitous scenes involving women in all his shows, all
of them. And that's just a dude who gets to
put in gratuitous hot women scenes.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
And listen, you can't argue that it's not working. I mean,
Yellowstone was one of accessiful site the franchises we've seen
in the last several years.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
So there is that.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
We'll talk more other shows that we have seen, including
the Kevin Hart stand up, specially them both.
Speaker 8 (25:11):
I like it.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Yeah, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Calcified situation. I don't know. Oh, think in the basement somewhere.
That's gross.
Speaker 7 (25:26):
What's going Hey, Gary and Shannon, My husband and I
are watching Down Cemetery Road with Emma Thompson. It's really
kind of fun to see her in such a different role.
We're also watching Man on the Inside with Ted Dancing,
very funny, and just saw the first episode of The
Diplomat last night.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Wow, I'm watching to see the rest of the year.
Speaker 6 (25:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
I so highly enjoyed the differ. I am into it
right now.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Like I finished I think at season two episode five
or six last night, and I'm like excited to go
home and finish the season because that is a.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Good show off out there the gate.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
But I was it was kind of a slow burn
for me because I'm not usually of I want to
go home and watch politics kind of person.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
But it's so well acted.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
I love their relationship and then the dynamics of it,
all the relationships and the dynamics of them, and it
heated up real quick in season two and now it's
kind of like Cliffhanger Stotts style.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
I think recently the end of season two of The
Diplomat and the beginning of season three are probably some
of the best television that you've seen in a while. Yeah,
and I would compare it to the like the Thanksgiving
dinner scene from The Bear just in terms.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Of it's the best of the end of the seas
at the end of season two. Amazing, it's just amazing.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
I mean, I'm jealous you get to see it for
the first time because I remember that was one of
those it's one of those episodes. It's because you're so
once you get into the diplomat Carrie Russell, rufus sewell
Alison Janny. Now I think in season two, of course
you are you are fine. I mean you're in it.
You are You're cheering for these characters and the struggles
(27:08):
that they're in and you're trying to wrestle through them
with them.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
Yeah, it's really.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
It's also fun to kind of get a behind the scenes,
user friendly look at diplomatic relations.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
You know, it's not totally.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Dumbed down, but dumbed down enough to make you feel
like it's a thinking show. But you're getting it, you
understand it. Sometimes those shows, you know, a lot goes
over your head or you know, it gets a little
weedy that this is not it.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
Have you gotten to the point where Alison Jenny writes
on that map where she's explaining the whole thing about
the relationship and why it's important that That was again
one of those great scenes.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
It reminded me.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
We've said this before about that show specifically reminded me
of the West Wing. Yeah, just because some of that
same simplification of what goes on behind closed doors in DC.
This is sort of a simplification of what goes on
on those high level foreign relations relationships that we have
and you don't think about them very often. Yeah, but
(28:08):
those all everything has to go into figuring out how
we're going to react to it.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
And there's clever explainers like that, like the one you're
referring to, or the one with the teapot. Yes, you know,
where they're explaining things to each other, but not really,
it's more for you to understand what the hell is
going on so you can follow it.
Speaker 6 (28:24):
Hey guys, I'm a little late, but hey, I watched
an old show. Just finishing up watching an old show,
mind Hunter. Yeah on Netflix. Man, that thing's great. I
like it. If they haven't watched it, give it a
From twenty nineteen.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
We watched that.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Look, yeah, it reminds me of Gary's photos from nineteen
eighty three.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Mind Hunter, the.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Serial Diplomat is good. Yeah, all her faults, the beast
in Me was all good. I watched Kevin Hart stand Up.
I was crying a couple times, laughing so hard.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
His return to Netflix after a successful run of several others,
his first four specials and comedy centered releases.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Really Kevin Hart.
Speaker 4 (29:11):
I'm a Grown little Man from two thousand and nine
was kind of his breakout special, Kevin Heart Seriously Funny,
laugh at My Pain. Let me explain what now? Irresponsible
zero F's given from five years ago? That one if
you remember he recorded it in his living room. If
I remember watching that, and that was the uncomfortable point
where stand up comedy was really the only thing that
(29:33):
was making.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
People laugh during COVID.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
But this one again is called acting my age.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
I like Kevin Hart.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
He's not my all time favorite comedian, but and I
do like his personality, Like he knows exactly who he is.
He knows all the jokes about his size, he gets it.
He knows that he's not a great athlete, never going
to be. I didn't quite get the Michael Jordan parts
(30:04):
of Acting My Age because.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
It was I couldn't sell inside joke with Michael Jordan.
I hope, so yeah, because they're like friends. But he
was taking knocks, yeah, because it just I.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
Guess you have to. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
I didn't think there was any negativity behind it, but
it was kind of a funny thing. But Acting My Age,
he just talks about being forty plus forty five, I.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Think, and that's why I were the same age and
he was making all that when you get to the
age which is now where like things just stop working
or they don't work, or you pull something in your
sleep or like, and it's funny and it's you know,
it's like, oh, I guess this is just the way
things are now. But but yeah, I had a good
(30:47):
time watching that.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
It's only like an hour, you know, that's ten minutes listen.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
That's what I think is so great about the way
stand up comedy has really taken to these streaming services.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Everybody does an hour set.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
There's a new one that dropped on Netflix yesterday by
a young comedian and Matt Rife is that his name?
Speaker 3 (31:10):
Yes, I don't know if i've ever watched him. What's
his deal is it?
Speaker 4 (31:13):
He's a crowd work guy. Oh so he witches off people. Yes,
and he's really good at it. Okay, some I think
there are some comedians who think that crowd work is
kind of the lower end version of stand up comedy
taking calls. But if you're good at it, yeah, man,
and he's got This is his second crowd work special.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
This is the one. I think.
Speaker 4 (31:33):
It talks about Chris like it's about Christmas, holiday, Christmas
something like that.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Yeah, he's really really good.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
Okay, Well I'll take a look. I'll take a look
at it. The first one as well. It's only a
year old, maybe two years old. But it's just him
sitting like in a hoodie talking to a crowd of
a few hundred people.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
And if I remember it, some sort of controversy involving him,
he got in trouble for something or I don't know, remember,
I mean it all, it all blends together.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
Now.
Speaker 8 (32:03):
There was a rumor about him dating, you know, people
up in the industry to get you know, make it
to the top type thing.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
I mean, like everyone you know, is that right? Yeah?
Speaker 8 (32:14):
Yes, I guess, yeah, Like I guess he was like
an ugly duckling quote unquote, and then he just like
got boom boom boom type thing.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
Was he who was he having sex with to do that?
Speaker 4 (32:22):
I have no idea, but I think I think the
criticism is similar to the criticism that Dane Cook got,
which was he was using the Internet to gain popularity,
that he would he would put out little clips of
himself doing this crowd work and it really catches fire
when it's on Instagram or whatever it is.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
What's wrong with that? Nothing? But I think that there's
some there.
Speaker 4 (32:45):
Like I said, some people think that that crowd work
kind of comedy is the lower.
Speaker 5 (32:48):
Per like there's comedy purists. Yes, that's what I think
is probably what it is. But again, I some of
that first step special I saw where he did crowd
work was amazing. Ability to do that kind of comedy
that quickly and with that much is incredible.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
Oh cool, I like that kind of stuff.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
All right, John cobel Cells coming up next.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
I still feel cheated that it wasn't a full furry outfit.
And then I heard I heard today Debra that people
are trying to dress you up next year.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
Yeah, that's not going to happen like a piece of bacon.
I'm not a good sport. I'm not a good sport
like John is. One time I wore a meat hoodie
that John actually just I remember that. I remembering it
to me just a few minutes ago. That's pretty bad. Yeah,
that was gross. So uh no, I think people would
rather John. It was.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
It was the way he was walking around in that
with the tail and the feet that was the most
troubling part about it.
Speaker 3 (33:47):
You missed the roar when John comes in. You got
to tell him to roar for you. I don't think
I'm ready for that. It was that was my best.
Speaker 5 (33:59):
I will let that be your special thing that you
have with John.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
All Right, John covalto coming up next to see tomorrow.
Stay drive everybody you've been listening to The Gary and
Shannon Show.
Speaker 4 (34:11):
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 Lap
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
A M six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app. Would you like your Jeopardy question?
I can't believe it's already now? Today is really getting
away from us?
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Crazy day?
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Isn't it a crazy day today? And I don't know
how that happened? Spell out your response for one thousand dollars.
You're spelling this is awful?
Speaker 1 (00:26):
A long word for a person you know that's not
a close friend, often nodding or casual, say.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
The first party game, because it says.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Mickerson, A long word for a person you know that's
not a close friend.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Oh oh, okay, you know, but it's not a close friend.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
All right?
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Ready, yep?
Speaker 4 (00:51):
What is acqu ai n t e ncee? No, it
was a ncque tent?
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Yeah, queen, that was a real Sophie's choice. There you
have gotten that? That was I don't know if I
may have gone with e as well?
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Are we losing our spelling abilities because the computers change everything?
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Well, yesterday you got millennium wrong? Who gets millennium right?
Can you still do calculus? Some? Really? A little? Not
a lot I'll pull something a lie.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
For a life for you or to you. I will
not do either one. What else is going on?
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Time for what's happening.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
The Trump administration.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
It looks like they're going to block democratic democratic controlled
states from accessing billions of dollars they need to run
the SNAP programs unless governors turnover benefits roles to federal
officials to check them out. One of the issues that
came out of the government shutdown was that once everything
got back online, the Department of Agriculture, which runs SNAP
(02:04):
programs in different states, was going to reassess everybody. They
were going to have everybody reapply, basically to prove that
they deserve those SNAP benefits. I think this is sort
of an offshoot of that as well.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
House Democrats are releasing new images of Epstein's private Caribbean island.
These are images and videos taken in twenty twenty, a
year after he died in jail, and it shows his
sex offender home and.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
It is bizarre.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
These are a handful of photos and videos from his
private Caribbean island named bedrooms, a telephone, what appears to
be an office or a library. I'm looking at them
and it's just eerie and weird. There is a chalkboard
on which the words fit in intellectual deception and power
(03:03):
are written. One photo, this is the most curious of
them all. One photo shows a room with a dentist
chair and masks hanging on the wall. Now, The New
York Times reported that Epstein's last girlfriend was a dentist
who shared an office with one of his shell companies.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
So maybe that's what that's all about. Oh right, there's.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
A telephone that you haven't seen since you grew up.
If you grew up and the year was nineteen ninety four,
a telephone you haven't seen since nineteen.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Ninety see or did have the touchdown? This fun? Oh
like an office version.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Right, but like when office phones were sometimes in the home.
But yeah, the bedroom looks all very clinical.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
It's it's all very eerie. That's the only word I
can continue to say. Well, let me cleanse your palette
a little bit.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
The la Zoos celebrated its fifth great ape birth of
the year, the arrival of a Western Lowland gorilla infant,
just on Saturday, the twenty second what's its name, adding
to the remarkable string of births they have not named
it yet because they do not know the gender yet.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
What does that matter?
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Mom is Indisia. Thirty one year old mom Indija and
thirty eight year old dad a silver ba goerrilla named Kelly.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
So mom and dad both have names that could be
boys or girls' names. Yeah, so why don't we name
this this? Look at that? A look at that?
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Oh my goodness, look at him, her them?
Speaker 3 (04:34):
And that's that's only like a week. Ah. What would
you name that baby? Ape?
Speaker 4 (04:39):
Trevor Trevor, Yeah, it seems really tired and grumpy right now.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
You think Trevor's tired and grumpy. I think I think
this baby's name is.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
Taken too long. You got to go with your first
gut instinct. Okay, here taking way too long.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Now. Well, there's a lot going on in the baby's face.
I told you he looked tired of me.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Now I can understand why moms take a long time
to name their babies sometimes, because I'm looking at this
baby's face.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
It's saying different things to me. Moose, I would name it. Moose.
Could be a girl or a baby's name, or a
boy's name. One of the is that a great girl's name?
Speaker 5 (05:27):
No, Moose, it's kind of sexy.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
One of the doctors implicated in Matthew Perry's death is
facing sentencing for supplying the actor with ketamine before he died.
In October twenty three, Salvador Placensia, known as Doctor Plea
Sorry Doctor p pleaded guilty to four felony accounts of
ketamine distribution back in July.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
There are some housing markets that are said to be
set to heat up in twenty twenty six around New York,
Long Island, Hudson Valley, Northern New Jersey. Connecticut's Fairfield County
has been the trend. Cities in the Midwest they say
are heating up Cleveland, Saint Louis, Minneapolis, Madison. If you
(06:16):
like the cold, some of those places are great cities
and affordable as well, looking at you Minneapolis, Indianapolis as well.
Multiple cities in the Northeast will see notable home sales
growth next year. Worcester, Massachusetts, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Hartford, Connecticut, Providence,
Rhode Island, Rochester, New York, I Love Providence, and then.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Toledo, Ohio.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
Yeah, all the places that you're never going to leave,
You're never going to leave.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
I've never been to Toledo.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
You made a sound that made it seem like you
certainly had and would never go back.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
No, never been. Where is what is that close to? Ohio?
Speaker 6 (06:55):
No?
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Yeah, thank you? I mean where wed you fly into?
Speaker 1 (07:01):
If you're oh yeah, it's right there on Oh yeah,
that looks very cold?
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Is it all right?
Speaker 6 (07:06):
Lake?
Speaker 1 (07:06):
It's on the lake just to the west of Cleveland,
south of Detroit. I mean, is there anything better than
having Cleveland and Detroit right within reach?
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Yes, the wind carries it correctly, one or the other.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
We told you about the wind that's coming in through
southern California today and tomorrow, the wind advisories that are
up in many places. This powerful Arctic blast is going
to cause very low temperatures across fifteen states, most of
it tomorrow and Friday. Thirty record lows could fall across
these different states. There's a disruption in the polar vortex,
(07:45):
it becomes weak, it pushes colder air south towards the
United States and Canada. And as we've said in other
times before, what makes this one unique is that it's
going to dip not just into those areas the Midwest,
but down into the South as well. Where will see
temperatures well below freezing in some cases.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
All right, coming up next, Pope Leo. His brand is emerging.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
What is it? We'll tell you.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
One thing I love about Leo is he's not touching
the controversial stuff.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
He's like, I'm not getting involved in that. He's just
sticking a regular Cobies, Go cubs.
Speaker 7 (08:18):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (08:19):
White Sox guy, Oh right, that whole cur but go
white Sox. And here's what we do as Catholics.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Yeah, Gary and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
Also, it's what you're watching Wednesday. Let us know what
you have been watching. Send us a message on the
talkback feature on the iHeart app. Just sit that little
button and tell us what your favorite show is or
maybe one to avoid so they're won't waste our time
on it.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Federal immigration crackdown has begun in New Orleans under an operation.
The Homeland Security says it's going to target violent criminals
Homeland Securities Department. Homeland Security Department's Assistant secretary said that
the aim of the operation is to capture the immigrants
who were released after their arrests.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
For crimes like home invasion, arm robbery, rape, and things
like that.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Admiral Frank Mitchell Bradley do on Capitol Hill tomorrow to
answer questions from lawmakers about that strike on suspected Narco
terras in the Caribbean back in September in ordering a
second strike that killed two of the survivors of the
first strike, originally clinging to the burning wreckage of that boat,
something that his superiors say they did not specifically order
(09:30):
him to do. Admiral Bradley is apparently the one who
is now technically on the hot seat potential legal jeopardy.
So tomorrow he said it to Capitol Hills closed closed
door meetings, I should say, with lawmakers. Both Republicans and
Democrats have expressed concern about the legality of this ongoing campaign.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
The first American Pope, Pope Leo the People's Pope, seems
to be finding his voice. He had a debut foreign
trip to Turkey and Lebanon, and Pope Leo the four
eh showed off his papal brand more guarded, less polarizing
than Pope Francis. Pope Francis had people fall into their
(10:11):
knees with the vapors and the clutching of the pearls.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
But they say that this Pope Leo, he is subtler
than Pope Francis.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
He has resisted the temptation to give a sound bite
that's easy to use as a headline.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
They say he has yet to stake out.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Any concrete positions, let alone sharp critiques on any major issue.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
And why should he? Why would the pope?
Speaker 1 (10:44):
You know, that's not the Pope's role is to get
into controversy. I mean the positions of the church are
kind of asked and answered at this point. Sure they
evolve a little bit, the needle moves a little bit
here and there.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
But pretty much to Catholic churches what it is.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Why get into politics and all of those things if
you're just trying to promote.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
God and people's life with Jesus.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
I suspect that the more you rely on the pope
for those things in your faith to resolve or answer
questions of your faith, maybe people assume that that same
(11:33):
person is going to be able to answer questions about.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
About just general life.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
I'm not a big fan of that. I go to
you know, I got.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Tom Brady to Tom Brady to lead my team to victory, right,
But I and I respect his ability to make decisions
on the football field, but I won't take Tom Brady's
opinion on what I'm going to do with my kids,
you know what I mean. I would take the Pope's
opinion on how to follow my religion and how to
follow the word of the Lord and all of those things,
(12:06):
but I wouldn't take my opinion on other things from
the Pope.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
You know, there's not one for pizza or something like that.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Yeah, there's just not one person who you should go
to for all of your life lessons, right, or how
to do things. I think that gets a little dangerous.
That's like cult like stuff right there. You know, you
go to someone for their specialty. The Pope's specialty is
the Bible and exposing more people to the Bible and
(12:34):
having more people believe in God.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
And things like that, right, things like that, things like that,
things of that nature, other extraneous stuff.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
He was a surprise pick, a lower profile, so he
was a bit of mystery for many Catholics. They say
he had a very quiet summer of study and preparation,
which just means a crash course and how not to
step in a pile of dog crap, weighing into controversy
probably quicker than you need to. He has talked about
(13:01):
detained migrants in the US.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
But all he has said is that there should be
deep reflection about the treatment of migrants, is all he said.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
And I think everyone can agree on that. That's nothing
controversial or provocative. But they say, he's just kind of
like this geeky kid from the Midwest, and who doesn't
like that?
Speaker 4 (13:21):
So I was going to say that, I know that
there has been a clamoring in the Catholic Church for
someone to be more progressive in some cases. But when
you think of I mean the pope that we grew
up with, which was Pope John Paul the Second, he
was also that he was this guy.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
I mean, he was that kind of.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
Lower He was that guy, user friendly, lower profile, user friendly.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Yeah, it was like somebody that was approachable and listen.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
I know other people probably have other popes in mind.
But because John Paul the Second was in the papacy
as long as he was, that's who I look, That's
who I envision when you say something, when you say pope,
I don't think Benedict that guy looked like the Emperor
from the Star Wars movie, right, And I don't think
(14:12):
of I don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
It's like when you think of a football coach and
you think Tom Landry, you don't think Mike McDaniel and
Is Joggers, right. I mean, there's certain people from your
childhood that you know they became the role for you forever.
Probably you know, I look at like Reagan and Pope,
John Paul the Second and Tom Landry, and you know
all those guys that were just like the epitome because
(14:35):
you're a kid and you're learning that's who that person is,
that this is the epitome of the pope or the
epitome of the.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
Coach for you. Plus, like I said, I think they
lasted longer. I mean you think Reagan was in office
for eight years. I don't remember how long Tom Tom
Landry seemed like he was head coach of the Cowboys
for forty years.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Yeah, let's find out.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
I'm going to guess eighteen years Tom Landry aas coach
when tea, Wait, hold on, hold on?
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Is this correct? You have to do math? Twenty nine years? WHOA?
So you are right right? The first start the last time.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
There's a reason we think of him as the head coach.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Is the quintessential head coach twenty nine years My god.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Hey, yesterday we were out at the Anaheim Whitehouse Restaurant
for our fifteenth annual Pastathon, and we wanted to thank
everybody who came out, everybody who donated, everybody who dropped
off pasta and sauce. It was a smashing success once
again and absolute proof of the generosity of you, the
KFI listener.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
As of eight o'clock last night.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
We raised nine hundred and fifty five thousand dollars and
on top of that, ninety two thousand, four hundred and
six pounds of pasta and sauce. And the best part is,
even if you missed it yesterday, we are not done
because the smartin Final stores and the Wendy's restaurant locations
(15:57):
around southern California are going to be taking donations through
Sunday night. And if you know where one of those
giving machine locations, there's actually video on our Instagram at
Gary and Shannon where you see Shannon using the giving
machine to buy a sheep hot to beach San Clemente,
San Diego and Riverside they're all taking donations for the
(16:18):
KFI Postathon through December thirtieth. So again Smart and Final
and Wendy's through Sunday, and then those giving machines are
going to be taking donations for KFI Postathon through December thirtieth.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
I've been recommending all her Fault on Peacock to everybody
because I think that everybody's gonna love it.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
It's a cool show.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
It's fun, it's dramatic, it makes you cringe a lot
of twists. We'll talk about what else you're watching when
we come back.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
A bunch of stories going on today. The Pentagons at
Watchdog has found that Defense Secretary Pete Hegsef may have
put US personnel on their mission at risk when he
used the Signal Messaging app if you remember that from
the a couple of months ago, using information about military
strike against militants in Yemen. Except denied posting any classified
(17:09):
information regarding plans for a military strike, but the review
by the Pentagon Inspector General's Office was delivered to lawmakers.
They were able to review the report in their glassified Facillitay, they're.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Doubling down and going after him hard because he's already
got this Caribbean boat mess that he's dealing with, and
now they're bringing back up signal Gate.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
President Trump is at the White House right now announcing
a proposal that would weaken vehicle mileage rules for the
auto industry and also ease some of the pressure on
those car makers to control pollution from the gasoline powered
cars and trucks. The President has said that this is
an action that would make cars more affordable and said
that it would roll back some aspects of the Green
(17:49):
New Deal that were passed by the Biden administration.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
It is a what you watch in Wednesday. The following
program is brought to you in living color. But you're watching.
Americans love television.
Speaker 8 (18:02):
They win their kids on USA television much beta you've been.
Speaker 7 (18:06):
Watching too many of those live television shows.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
I've been recommending this ever since. It was recommended to
me by Deborah Mark. Deborah Mark texted me, so you've
got to see all her fault on Peacock and I
watched it. It's good from the beginning, but man, it
gets so much better. Didn't I tell you that you did,
and the twists are great and they keep it keeps
(18:30):
you on your toes.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
It's well acted.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
My mom is a big fan of Sarah Snook, who
was in Succession, and she plays the lead and all
her fault and it's a really great cast and and
it's just a fun watch and it's thrilling but not
making me feel anxious.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
It's just it's real good.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
So the basics of it from what I've only seen
the first episode, but the basics of it are Sarah
Snook plays the lead character, young mother and her child
goes missing. I mean right away. There's not a lot
of lead up to it. It's just immediately she goes
to pick up her kid from a friend's house, from
one of the other mothers in the and the kid's
(19:11):
not there. And it from I mean from the jump,
it is tense. It is frustrating.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
It got it was one of those shows slash books
because I believe it was a book that I always
write off because it's mom stuff and I don't relate
as much, like, oh, working mom, And here she is
and she's trying to do her job and she drops
off the kid and the kid is it goes missing
and then it's going to be all about her feeling guilty. Okay,
that lasts for about ninety seven seconds, and then it's
(19:40):
completely engrossing. Every character keeps you wondering what's going on.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Yeah, and there's some aspects of it.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
And again I've only seen the first episode, so I
don't know the secrets, but you can tell that they're
gonna pay off some of this stuff.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
In that first episode.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
There are moments where these different characters reveals something or
you can tell based on the way they're acting or
reacting to something they have something to hip or.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
You think you can tell or you think you can tell.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
So there's that, and then of course the teas at
the end of episode one is Michael Pina playing the detective,
looking at the cast of characters in front of him,
sort of as a lineup, and there's eight pictures up
there and he's like, I never would have thought it,
These nice people killing each other?
Speaker 3 (20:26):
What?
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Yeah, Exactly every episode there's something like that to get
you to the next one. It's not one of those
shows where just give it four episodes, just give it
six hours of your life and then you'll see No, no, no, it's.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Not like that.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
It's from the go, it gets you, and it's one
of the few shows that I've really enjoyed that I've
recommended to My husband, who doesn't watch a lot of television,
is super picky when it comes to what he's going
to spend his screen time on.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
And I think men will like this one just as
much as women will.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
I it's funny because my wife and I were trying
to figure out what we're gonna watch last night, and
I knew this was you had suggested that I couldn't
remember where you said it was.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
This.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
All Her Fault is on Peacock. By the way, it's
on Peacock, but there was on Netflix. There was a
show that we saw the trailer for, and it's called
The Beast in Me. I saw that Claire Danes and
Matthew Reid.
Speaker 5 (21:13):
I saw that right before I watched this one. So
we saw the trailer and I was like, that seems awful,
not bad, like it's well, you're not well done. It
just seems like it would just be so heavy and
tense and frustrating. And so then we see the trailer
for All Her Fault, I'm like, well, it's just a kidnapping. Oh,
(21:34):
that's gonna be That's going to be an easy, an
easy swallow if to get through that.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
The Beast in Me was good. It was good. It
kept my attention. All her fault knocks it out of
the park.
Speaker 5 (21:45):
Really okay, So we made the right choice then, as
the Beast in Me was a nice warm up for
all her fault. I need to get a life. I
need to get some sort of hobby.
Speaker 4 (21:55):
We have also been watching land Man season two. It
comes out on Paramount Plus on.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Size land Man. It's one of those shows that.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
I'm not a gigantic Billy Bob Thornton fan in general
outside of like sling Blade and some of the great
stuff that he's done, but this character seems to be
so well written specifically for him.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Well, and.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Everybody in land Man is great. And now what's his name? Mustache?
Deep voice? Why am I mixing up?
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (22:30):
You haven't gotten there yet. You've only watched one episode.
You know, Diamond, he's in all the westerns.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Oh? Sam? Yes, Sam? What's his name? Sam? Is it Sam?
Speaker 6 (22:43):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (22:43):
It's Sam something. Why can't you remember? It's beef? It's
what's for dinner? Yeah? Yeah, that guy? Someone Sam Elliott?
Thank you. Oh my god, that was the worst one
we've we've done. It's Sam Neil, we're getting old, no kids.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Sam, No, there is at least this is a terror
Taylor Sheridan kind of thing. I think there's at least
one line in every episode that is stellar, whether it
is a Billy Bob Thornton off the cuff line, or
(23:20):
it is a line that is delivered and it is
given oxygen to sit and there's at least one line
that's like, that was a great freaking line. And Sam
Elliott has a great freaking line in episode two or
one at the end of one or two. But anyway,
it's just well acted and there's people that you root for,
(23:42):
all of them, you know, and their fault they're they're
faults and they're and sometimes it's overblown, like sometimes the
Ali Larder stuff is out overblown, but who cares because
she's hot.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
She and the daughter.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
Yeah, I think the the uh Michelle Randolph, I think
is plays the daughter Ainsley in There's been some criticism
I've seen in a couple of different places that Taylor
Sheridan doesn't know how to write for women, that they
that their characters are very one note.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
I used to say that you got to just get
over it.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
But one of the main the main drivers in this
second season is Demi Moore, the widow of you know,
John Hamm died in the Sorry John Hamm's character dies
at the end of season one, so so she Demi
Moore is kind of thrust into this position of being
the reluctant oil tycoon.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Excellent point.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
He writes, if he wrote for her, he writes spectacularly
for a woman in that position. Yeah, really well done.
But again it's I think it's I think what he does.
It's not that he can't write for women. He puts
in gratuitous scenes involving women in all his shows, all
of them. And that's just a dude who gets to
put in gratuitous hot women scenes.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
And listen, you can't argue that it's not working. I mean,
Yellowstone was one of accessiful site the franchises we've seen
in the last several years.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
So there is that.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
We'll talk more other shows that we have seen, including
the Kevin Hart stand up, specially them both.
Speaker 8 (25:11):
I like it.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Yeah, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Calcified situation. I don't know. Oh, think in the basement somewhere.
That's gross.
Speaker 7 (25:26):
What's going Hey, Gary and Shannon, My husband and I
are watching Down Cemetery Road with Emma Thompson. It's really
kind of fun to see her in such a different role.
We're also watching Man on the Inside with Ted Dancing,
very funny, and just saw the first episode of The
Diplomat last night.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Wow, I'm watching to see the rest of the year.
Speaker 6 (25:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
I so highly enjoyed the differ. I am into it
right now.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Like I finished I think at season two episode five
or six last night, and I'm like excited to go
home and finish the season because that is a.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Good show off out there the gate.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
But I was it was kind of a slow burn
for me because I'm not usually of I want to
go home and watch politics kind of person.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
But it's so well acted.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
I love their relationship and then the dynamics of it,
all the relationships and the dynamics of them, and it
heated up real quick in season two and now it's
kind of like Cliffhanger Stotts style.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
I think recently the end of season two of The
Diplomat and the beginning of season three are probably some
of the best television that you've seen in a while. Yeah,
and I would compare it to the like the Thanksgiving
dinner scene from The Bear just in terms.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Of it's the best of the end of the seas
at the end of season two. Amazing, it's just amazing.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
I mean, I'm jealous you get to see it for
the first time because I remember that was one of
those it's one of those episodes. It's because you're so
once you get into the diplomat Carrie Russell, rufus sewell
Alison Janny. Now I think in season two, of course
you are you are fine. I mean you're in it.
You are You're cheering for these characters and the struggles
(27:08):
that they're in and you're trying to wrestle through them
with them.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
Yeah, it's really.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
It's also fun to kind of get a behind the scenes,
user friendly look at diplomatic relations.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
You know, it's not totally.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Dumbed down, but dumbed down enough to make you feel
like it's a thinking show. But you're getting it, you
understand it. Sometimes those shows, you know, a lot goes
over your head or you know, it gets a little
weedy that this is not it.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
Have you gotten to the point where Alison Jenny writes
on that map where she's explaining the whole thing about
the relationship and why it's important that That was again
one of those great scenes.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
It reminded me.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
We've said this before about that show specifically reminded me
of the West Wing. Yeah, just because some of that
same simplification of what goes on behind closed doors in DC.
This is sort of a simplification of what goes on
on those high level foreign relations relationships that we have
and you don't think about them very often. Yeah, but
(28:08):
those all everything has to go into figuring out how
we're going to react to it.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
And there's clever explainers like that, like the one you're
referring to, or the one with the teapot. Yes, you know,
where they're explaining things to each other, but not really,
it's more for you to understand what the hell is
going on so you can follow it.
Speaker 6 (28:24):
Hey guys, I'm a little late, but hey, I watched
an old show. Just finishing up watching an old show,
mind Hunter. Yeah on Netflix. Man, that thing's great. I
like it. If they haven't watched it, give it a
From twenty nineteen.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
We watched that.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Look, yeah, it reminds me of Gary's photos from nineteen
eighty three.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Mind Hunter, the.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Serial Diplomat is good. Yeah, all her faults, the beast
in Me was all good. I watched Kevin Hart stand Up.
I was crying a couple times, laughing so hard.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
His return to Netflix after a successful run of several others,
his first four specials and comedy centered releases.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Really Kevin Hart.
Speaker 4 (29:11):
I'm a Grown little Man from two thousand and nine
was kind of his breakout special, Kevin Heart Seriously Funny,
laugh at My Pain. Let me explain what now? Irresponsible
zero F's given from five years ago? That one if
you remember he recorded it in his living room. If
I remember watching that, and that was the uncomfortable point
where stand up comedy was really the only thing that
(29:33):
was making.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
People laugh during COVID.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
But this one again is called acting my age.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
I like Kevin Hart.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
He's not my all time favorite comedian, but and I
do like his personality, Like he knows exactly who he is.
He knows all the jokes about his size, he gets it.
He knows that he's not a great athlete, never going
to be. I didn't quite get the Michael Jordan parts
(30:04):
of Acting My Age because.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
It was I couldn't sell inside joke with Michael Jordan.
I hope, so yeah, because they're like friends. But he
was taking knocks, yeah, because it just I.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
Guess you have to. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
I didn't think there was any negativity behind it, but
it was kind of a funny thing. But Acting My Age,
he just talks about being forty plus forty five, I.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Think, and that's why I were the same age and
he was making all that when you get to the
age which is now where like things just stop working
or they don't work, or you pull something in your
sleep or like, and it's funny and it's you know,
it's like, oh, I guess this is just the way
things are now. But but yeah, I had a good
(30:47):
time watching that.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
It's only like an hour, you know, that's ten minutes listen.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
That's what I think is so great about the way
stand up comedy has really taken to these streaming services.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Everybody does an hour set.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
There's a new one that dropped on Netflix yesterday by
a young comedian and Matt Rife is that his name?
Speaker 3 (31:10):
Yes, I don't know if i've ever watched him. What's
his deal is it?
Speaker 4 (31:13):
He's a crowd work guy. Oh so he witches off people. Yes,
and he's really good at it. Okay, some I think
there are some comedians who think that crowd work is
kind of the lower end version of stand up comedy
taking calls. But if you're good at it, yeah, man,
and he's got This is his second crowd work special.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
This is the one. I think.
Speaker 4 (31:33):
It talks about Chris like it's about Christmas, holiday, Christmas
something like that.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Yeah, he's really really good.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
Okay, Well I'll take a look. I'll take a look
at it. The first one as well. It's only a
year old, maybe two years old. But it's just him
sitting like in a hoodie talking to a crowd of
a few hundred people.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
And if I remember it, some sort of controversy involving him,
he got in trouble for something or I don't know, remember,
I mean it all, it all blends together.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
Now.
Speaker 8 (32:03):
There was a rumor about him dating, you know, people
up in the industry to get you know, make it
to the top type thing.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
I mean, like everyone you know, is that right? Yeah?
Speaker 8 (32:14):
Yes, I guess, yeah, Like I guess he was like
an ugly duckling quote unquote, and then he just like
got boom boom boom type thing.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
Was he who was he having sex with to do that?
Speaker 4 (32:22):
I have no idea, but I think I think the
criticism is similar to the criticism that Dane Cook got,
which was he was using the Internet to gain popularity,
that he would he would put out little clips of
himself doing this crowd work and it really catches fire
when it's on Instagram or whatever it is.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
What's wrong with that? Nothing? But I think that there's
some there.
Speaker 4 (32:45):
Like I said, some people think that that crowd work
kind of comedy is the lower.
Speaker 5 (32:48):
Per like there's comedy purists. Yes, that's what I think
is probably what it is. But again, I some of
that first step special I saw where he did crowd
work was amazing. Ability to do that kind of comedy
that quickly and with that much is incredible.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
Oh cool, I like that kind of stuff.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
All right, John cobel Cells coming up next.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
I still feel cheated that it wasn't a full furry outfit.
And then I heard I heard today Debra that people
are trying to dress you up next year.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
Yeah, that's not going to happen like a piece of bacon.
I'm not a good sport. I'm not a good sport
like John is. One time I wore a meat hoodie
that John actually just I remember that. I remembering it
to me just a few minutes ago. That's pretty bad. Yeah,
that was gross. So uh no, I think people would
rather John. It was.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
It was the way he was walking around in that
with the tail and the feet that was the most
troubling part about it.
Speaker 3 (33:47):
You missed the roar when John comes in. You got
to tell him to roar for you. I don't think
I'm ready for that. It was that was my best.
Speaker 5 (33:59):
I will let that be your special thing that you
have with John.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
All Right, John covalto coming up next to see tomorrow.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
