Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Let's take a lane away.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
People are just getting their kids back to school. They're
trying to get to work before nine. Let's take a
lane away during rush hour.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
That's brilliant.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Hey, I took out all the f's and the mfs
and the CSS and all of the thanks.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Oh yeah, wow.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
I drove in the carpool lane. It got medieval out
there for me. He did everything wrong, and I was
going to have a very nice conversation with the officer
who arrested me. Finally I was.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
I had the whole conversation in my head.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
He was going to be super reasonable. I was going
to be reasonable.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Yeah, oh my goodns. This anyway, Well, welcome back to school.
Most La LA unified at least, but I think goes
back tomorrow. So I have a bunch of other schools started.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Yesterday wildlife in my area against the foothills, not elementary
school students, and I had those today too, which is
why I'm bringing up the story. So this was the
first day for the local school there. So the street
there which is usually emptiest, lined with cars and people, moms,
and they're walking their kids to school, and everything's new
and fresh, and everyone's got their brand new school clothes on.
(01:32):
It's very sweet, and new lunch boxes and the whole bit.
And there's a coyote that I've seen from time to
time on that street, just posted up like, yeah, I
know you're all back to school, but guess what.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
I've been roaming out here every morning.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Since y'all left school, and I'm still out here.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Lakey's a gang member. Clay, Yes, territory completely.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
That's nice.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
I think that's not It proves that nature and humans
we can live wildly interface. Yes, we live together without one,
you know, upset with the other. Yeah, hopefully it was
all copesthetic. Well did you hear any children being eaten?
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Not yet?
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Lot going on today, as goes on every single day.
The big deal this week, of course, is that President
Trump is going to be meeting with Vladimir Putin Friday.
And we do now know that this meeting is going
to be taking place at a joint Military base, Joint
Base Elmendorf, Richardson, over thirteen thousand square acres. They are
(02:39):
in Anchorage, Alaska, all of it to discuss Russia's three
year war on Ukraine.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Land swapping seems to be the topic of the day
and Europe and Zelenski trying to figure out how to
get that into Trump's craw that we are not going
to give up land.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
That's not going to be part of the deal. European
leaders met with well Zoom, called with Zelanski today and
then had Vice President in vance and President Trump on
the call as well. This is the French President Emmanuel
Markrone through translator.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
The exchange with President Trump allowed him to declare his
intentions for the meeting on the fifteenth of August and
allowed us to very clearly explain our expectations. I thank
him for that, and I think I can say that
several messages came out of the exchange that we just had,
and which is a very important mention. The first is
that President Trump was very clear on the fact that
(03:38):
the US wants to obtain a ceasefire during this meeting in.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Alaska, although the White House is kind of pushed back
against that, saying that this is this is going to
be a listening exercise that yes, even though that would
be great if they came out with a ceasefire agreement.
You can't really do that without Ukraine and Europe at
the table. To reiterate what you said yesterday, retired General
Philip Breedlove, former Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces for NATO,
(04:06):
I believe he is the official title. He said basically
that Putin needs this if he's going to be elevated
to the status of world leaders.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
This has been his aim for nearly twenty years. He
wants to deal with the American president over the top
of Europe and certainly over the top of Ukraine. He
desperately needs to be seen as a world leader at
that small table, unencumbered by the Europeans or Ukraine. And
(04:38):
I think that we should be very very careful not
to legitimize the fact that Putin can cut a deal
about Europe and Ukraine without Europe and Ukrainecuse.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Here's the thing. I understand this way of thinking.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
I understand the way of thinking, oh, he's a war
criminal all the bits, he's not legitimate.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
He is legitimate. He is a legitimate world leader.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Part of it is it because he's crazy and you
can't trust him, Yes, a big part of it. But
he's not a minor player. Vladimir Putin is not a
minor player.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
But is he major enough to be the former to
be as powerful as other Soviet dictators or Russian presidents.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
I mean it's.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
He's not a super he's not the leader of a superpower,
but he's the leader of a country with a lot
of power.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
I'm not saying that this should be somebody who is
revered or bowed down to. I'm just saying he is
not inconsequential like he is not. I understand that he's
an awful person. He's committed atrocities, but he has a
immense amount of power still, so he is a world leader.
I don't know if a meeting with Trump puts him
(05:59):
on higher ground. I wouldn't say that. And part of
the reason that he is so vaunted is because he's
freaking crazy and he's got access to weapons that'll wipe
us off the planet.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Yeah, whether we like it or not, he does have power.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Speaking of Alaska, there is a massive problem, a giant
wave of water that's gushing out of an Alaska glacier.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
It just clicked on this.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Yeah, it is a it's a weird story. It's getting worse.
It's peaking. Right about now. In the next hour or
two is when Juno, Alaska could be wiped off the
map because of this flood.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
My god. Officials recommend residents in the seventeen foot lake
level inundation zone evacuate now.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Don't wait, don't wait. It's called suicide basin. Yeah, we'll
talk about it when we come back.
Speaker 7 (06:50):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Also today for what you watch on Wednesday, the best
bad movies, I mean bad movies you can't take your
eyes off because they're so awful. Bad writing, bad show,
bad acting, whatever it is. What is your favorite bad
great movie.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
It's hard too, because the really bad ones that have
achieved cult status in your mind now are great.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
They've kind of like Feathers. Yeah, bad movie. I hated
that movie. When I saw.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
You know what to do?
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Jump on the talkback feature talk about pets, cats specifically who.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Have been abandoned things that I saw. I was affected
last night. I think this may have impacted it as well.
Mark Thompson lost his cat that has been around for
a long time. Oh God, and he made a beautiful
post last night. I remember for his Instagram whatever it was,
but I saw that and it was that was tough.
And again from a guy who's.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Like, well, Mark Thompson's very feeling human. He's like the
opposite of her, I know, And I felt awful.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
I felt awful were him, Yeah, which is usually not
my So that started it's not my go to Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Yeah, well, I'm.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Glad that you that you felt empathy and that you
show what I felt.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
I didn't know what the feeling was.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Yeah, you felt pain for him to put words on it.
So that's what started this probably. And then this morning,
did things get off to the wrong track.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Or no, no question, Mark, no to This morning was beautiful.
This morning was great.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
My wife doesn't usually get up when I get up,
and she was awake when I got up, so I
got to say goodbye to her.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
That was great. Traffic was fine, I mean normal, Okay,
we'll work through it. Got to figure out, we'll pinpoint it.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Yeah, all right, what the hell's going on with this glacier?
A glacier outburst is underway as we speak in Alaska,
sending a massive surge of water downstream towards Juno, a
wave of water essentially gushing, causing a river to surge
to a record level and threatening significant flooding in that
(09:05):
state capital. This is the third consecutive August this has happened.
And where does it happen. Well, it's at a place
called Suicide Basin.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Suicide Basin is basically a bathtub at the end of
the Mendenhall Glacier. A lot of snow collects there, obviously
rain and that sort of stuff.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
And we are here.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
We are when it's starting to warm up a bit
and everything starts to melt. And like you said, it's
happened many times over the last several years. Last year
was particularly bad and this year is bad er. They're
talking about a flood level and it doesn't really mean
much when we say it like this, But the flood
level last year we said about fifteen feet.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
I checked just before the show started.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
The Suicide Basin overflow now into the Mendenhall River is
at sixteen point six y five feet, Okay.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
It is expected to crest at sixteen point seven sometime
this morning.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
So it's close.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
They I think that I think they're that window of
time when it's supposed to peak is going on right now.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
It's like a two hour window.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
The record high was fifteen point nine to nine feet
in fact, so we blew that.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Yeah, we blew that record. And they're talking about last year.
It was one home that was actually completely obliterated by
this river and you know, taken down down river out
into the to the bay.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
There.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
This one they're concerned about, or they knew because of
the way the river reacts with the homes that are
along the river. They put up a bunch of Hesco barriers. Now,
a Hesco barrier was probably most if you've seen any
documentary or movie about war in the Middle East. Hesco
barriers are those giant cages that are filled with rocks
(10:51):
or sand in many cases, and they stack them for
eight feet high, depending on what it is. They are
acting as giant sand bags along along the river in
an attempt to not necessarily keep the water out of
the homes. There's an expectation that's going to get there,
but the strongest forces of the water will not tear
away the foundations of both the homes and the roads
(11:15):
and the bridges and everything in their way. But they're
telling it about a thousand people which doesn't seem like
a lot, but it is.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
It's a capital city.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
I mean, it's a capital of the state of Alaska
and it's undergoing this massive, massive, potential disaster.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
However, it being the capital, I believe it's something like
thirty thousand people at all.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Yeah, that's why I say it's not a whole lot
of people, but still yeah, but it is.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
It is significant.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
The glacier itself is one of the huge tourist attractions
there in in and around Juno, which the pictures of it,
I mean, it's still a clear day. It's a beautiful
day in Juno, Alaska, and they're dealing with flooding. Compare
that to the flooding that we've seen in the Upper
Midwest in the last couple of days, where it's just
(12:04):
storm cloud after storm cloud caused by rain. In this case,
it's basically glacial melt and the ice, the ice and
snow that is melting from earlier in the winter.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
There's a guy who does fantasy football stuff. He has
a podcast and does different stuff on different outlets, and
he tweeted that he's about sixty yards from his house
as the Mendenhall River and it is just he's posted
videos just rushing. He said it rose about six feet
over the past two hours. I mean, if you could
imagine that, he said, it's like the universe giving us
(12:37):
a Derrick Henry stiff arm or something. You can always
tell you're close to football season when you get like
a natural event and people start making connections.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Good times.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
The Dodgers, my god, I gotta say, oh, by the way,
I feel really first place with the nine game they
blew a nine game lead, nine games, nine.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Games, and I gotta believe that's rough.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
If you've got one job, you got one job, come
in and get three outs, one job, one job, and
you blow it, so god, I'd feel awful.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
I would feel it in that long awful.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
I mean, I know I blow it every day, but
I do it over a much more longer period of
time than one tait over four hours.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Yes, of about fifteen minutes. Uh yeah, sho hey.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Otani hits into a triple play and everybody makes this
big deal about he's one of two MVPs who then
hit into a triple play the next season.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
It's just a weird okay, And.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Then hit a home run, then hit a home run anyway,
the Dodgers take on the Angels in Anaheim two nights,
First pitch six point thirty. Listen to all Dodger games
on AM five seventy LA Sports live from the Gallpin
Motors Broadcast Booth, and stream all Dodgers games NHD on
the iHeartRadio app Keyword AM five seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
They could actually start that game in second place because
the Padres play the Giants of this afternoon.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
So you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
A couple stories that are going on.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
The White House says it's planning to conduct a review
of Smithsonian exhibitions, the materials and operations. Of course the
two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the country that we're
going to go through next year, and a letter sent
by two the secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. Three top
White House officials said they want to make sure the
(14:27):
museums present the unity, the progress, and the enduring values
that define the American story called this executive order that
the President signed called restoring truth and Sanity to American History.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
So they said that they're going to go through and
make sure that all.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Of the museums and the exhibitions and the materials and
all the operations comport with that executive order.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
What is this I'm reading about your body predicting the future?
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Well, we've talked many times about Malcolm Gladwell because I
can't wait to.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Talk about Wellington. But we'll do that coming up next.
Do you know who Wellington is yet?
Speaker 2 (15:07):
He's a pig.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
He is a pig.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Malcolm Gladwell wrote a book called Blink, The Power of
Thinking Without Thinking.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
It's a great book. I was fascinated by it.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
It started me down a road of the difference between
how humans react in situations where we don't even realize
where we're reacting, versus those situations where we put a
lot of thought into See.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
The one who did thinking fast and slow.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
No, but it's in that same vein. It's funny. I
only hear Khanaman, I think thinking fast, thinking slow.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
I only hear men talking about liking these books, and
I wonder why that is. I mean, I'm not saying
I don't like them or I haven't heard. I just
said I don't know if women are attracted to them
the same way.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
And I wonder why that is?
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Is Because men look at it as like it's a
machine to be figured.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Out or No.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
I think there's something there's something specific about the way
both genders have the fight or flight reflex, because I mean,
that's a major port part of that kind of reptilian
brain reaction to something, to outside threat of some kind.
And I think men, when it comes to fight or flight,
(16:20):
are more likely to square up to something and try
to fight it. Women did total over generalization here, but
I think women are more likely to run. I mean,
and I just think that that's kind of a separation.
I don't know why women aren't as interested in this
sort of thing. I'm fascinated by how you react. I mean,
(16:42):
why is my first reaction yours two apparently? But why
is my first reaction when someone cuts me off on
the freeway or does something stupid to flip them off
or yell at them they can't hear me and they
can't see me.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
You know, why is that the immediate response?
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Where and then five seconds later you're like that was stupid,
they would never see me and they don't care, and dumb.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
You feel instant dumb. So I don't know.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
I would say it's the difference between why we or
how we perceive.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Fight versus flight.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Now, I don't know if that's true or not, but
that's a that's my gut react, that's my initial reptilian
brain reaction to your question.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Have you ever met anyone who doesn't react in traffic? Like,
been in the car with someone who doesn't react in traffic?
I don't think I think so either. I mean it's subdued,
it's not as much as a CS.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
And there is there is something. If there is someone
else in the car, the reaction is often different than
if I'm alone. Yes, yes, yes, But this this book,
this bod you know, body of study looks at how
our bodies predict the future.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
And there are basically three regions of the brain, I said.
The reptilian brain the base of the cortex, responsible for
the most primitive processes and responses. The second is the
limbic system, deals with social and emotional processing. And then
above that is the neocortex, our high order brain functions
(18:14):
sensory perception, cognition, motor commands, you know, you tell your
body to do a certain thing, spatial reasoning, that's where
language is, et cetera.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
But it's it's a fun description of.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Intuition versus instinct, and instinct is one of those things
obviously where it's the fight or flight response. It's the
lowest level of your brain takes in some sort of
some sort of outside information and makes your body do
something with it. You know, you see a rock, No,
you see a piece of trash flying towards your windshield,
(18:50):
your body your eyes blink and your body tenses up,
even though it's a plastic bag and it's not going
to hurt you, but your body doesn't know that yet.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
It's just protecting itself.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
I've been actively trying to operate with intuition as opposed
to instinct, because instinct is therefore your survival and we
don't need that as much in twenty twenty five as
we did back in the caveman days.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
And I am more instinctual.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
I'm more reactive than I need to be, so like,
I love the fact that it's differentiating between those two
parts instinct and intuition. Your intuition is the one who's like, okay,
calm down, chill, all right, well we have here.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
And instinct is just like react immediately.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
And the way that they describe it Marina Kanakova is
an author psych professor at Columbia said, people call it intuition,
scientists will call it expertise. Basically that you learn your
expertise through many, many, many iterations of a situation. She
(19:48):
uses poker as an example of that. She's new to poker,
so if she thinks someone is bluffing in the hand
that she's playing, she's not really great at it. She
doesn't have the expertise or intuition isn't honed yet.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
But somebody who's.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Played poker for forty years or fifty years, their intuition
there are hundreds of thousands of hands of poker that
they've played, gives them that expertise and gives them a
stronger intuition in terms of being able to determine if
someone is if someone is lying.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
It's why that's Nathan Fielder show.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
It's not just laughs, Like there's something behind rehearsing life things.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Right to give you that at least taste of that intuition.
The whole article that goes on from the London Times
actually goes on and describes how it is that we
perceive if we don't have the expertise in certain areas
we don't have that intuition built up yet. There's sort
(20:48):
of a middle ground where we get they refer to
it as anxiety. We get anxious about something, and it's
really just the human body and brain not dealing well
with uncertainty. We're just we're just being uncertain about what's
going to happen. I mean, think of the people in Juno,
Alaska right now. They don't know when this flooding is
going to end. They don't know if it's going to
(21:09):
peak at seventeen feet or go even higher, and they
don't know what's going to happen to their home or
their neighborhood. And that anxiety that unknown creates will create
in them when it's done, some amount of expertise, some
amount of intuition to deal with it.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Next time, all right, coming up next to the story
of Wellington, a stray indoor pig who thinks he's a dog.
It's a feel good story. Get ready, we're gonna snap
everyone out of that bad mood.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on Demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
The Return of Michael Monks.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Oh well, I mean he hasn't gone anywhere, but yeah,
he hasn't it on the show for a while.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Yeah, we did not ban.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
There were some things that he was saying that were
probably he needed to be red.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Oh really, well, so he was like suspended from the
Darian from the show.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Yes, what happened that I'm not privy to. It had
to do with the flavors of ice cream? Did you
guys get to fisticuffs?
Speaker 2 (22:15):
No?
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Was it a flavor he was working on that you
did not enjoy or vice versa.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Well, he basically told me that carmel is not an
option and we had some words about that.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Okay, I don't like Sorry, it was an ugly.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
That has nothing to do with him as a newsperson,
as a value to the show. I wish you didn't
let your sweet tooth dictate what kind of content we
provide on this show.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Right, Well, that's why I'm a pez candy. This is
why I'm reopening my heart okay to him. I love
that giving him an opportunity. Oh, we're asking now.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
I have to be careful how we say this, because
I think there might be some misconception. We're asking for
the worst. Sorry, we're asking for the best bad movies.
Speaker 7 (23:02):
Gary and Shannon, this is rob the worst movie, but
I still consider it the worst movie and waste of time.
It won an Academy Award. Is everything everywhere all at once.
I really tried to like the movie.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Yes, that for the whole thing.
Speaker 7 (23:17):
Wish I could have gotten that two and a half
hours back or whatever.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
It stinks. It still stinks. Hate it, Thank you bye. Okay,
So I don't remember it completely. I do remember.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
You've got to kind of be in the mood for it.
You gotta be a little high exactly. Probably helps.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Okay, but that's an example of a bad good movie.
We want to make sure we're talking about good bad
movie like Freddy Krueger, like movies that are awfully made,
poorly acted, written, like trash.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
But you can't turn away from Heathers. Heathers is one
of them.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Producer Michelle had suggested Showgirls that Elizabeth I.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Ever saw that because I can't see Jesse like that.
Speaker 8 (24:04):
Evil did too perfect, Sam Raimi before he directed Spider
Man and For the Love of the Game Bruce Campbell
so over the top, way over the top, so bad,
so great.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Yeah, man, whenever I think of the Love of the Game,
I just cringed with that one. Line, go get my agent.
He's the most important person to me right now.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
There's a couple others that we used to watch in
high school, like the Adventures of Remo Williams.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
That was a awful, awful movie that you can't turn
away from it.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
I throw this one out there in that vein Adventures
in Babysitting awful, great movie.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Yeah, fun Thor Fun to want which Thor in that movie?
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Oh? Th in the movie? Yes, I thought mean Thor
the movie in the Garage. That's right.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Thor is a great movie. You would watch your mouth
about Thor.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
And there was another one I got it, I see
if I remember the name of it.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
It was college.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
When I was in college, there were friends that wanted
to watch this movie and I never really understood.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
I mean, Office Space was an awful movie but became great.
You know, there's some movies that just achieved cult status
that were just not good. It's not that they didn't
get good reviews when they came out. There's not very good.
But once you sat down and dug into him, you're like,
this is genius.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Here's a movie that is awful that we couldn't turn
away from. It's called bad taste. It was made in
nineteen eighty seven Peter Jackson from Like The Lord of
the Rings, all of those things. This was his first
feature film. It's a story about aliens landing in New
Zealand and harvesting humans for an intergalactic fast food franchise. Okay, awful,
(25:46):
I'll throw out bad script. I'll throw out lover Boy.
Great awful movie. Patrick Dempsey.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
I believe plays this young pizza pizza delivery man and
he's hooking up with old divorce says. And you got
to order extra anchovies. It's a whole thing. Let us
know what is your What is your favorite good bad movie.
It's an awful movie, but you can't look away from it.
(26:13):
We've run out of time now for Wellington. I'm not
gonna squeeze him into one minute. You're absolutely wrong if
you think that's the path I'm going to take. Wellington
deserves more of our time, So we're gonna have to
punt him until I mean not punt the pig, but
Wellston place him later into the show.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Wellington might be an example of something that is so
bad it's good.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
He is not an attractive pig, but there's adorable Wellington.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
I mean, is there a better name for a pig
that thinks he's a dog than Wellington?
Speaker 3 (26:49):
I say, nay, no, what about Ham, No, what about Bake?
Speaker 1 (26:55):
No Wellington. We'll tell you his story coming up. But
we come back you Carnitas. No, we will celebrate the
return of Michael Monks, Ladies and gentlemen, no.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
And no anywhere and no no no.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Gary austid him from the show because they got into
a fight over caramel ice cream.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
I don't know any Okay, man, Am I right? We'll
do that when we come back to Gary.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Do I have a message here?
Speaker 9 (27:29):
Hey, Garbar I have called in the past and just
just expressed my love for you in a lot of
different ways. Thank you, and I wanted to let you
know that, Man, you feeling it this morning. I'm with you, man,
We're here for you. Your support group is intact.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
I do respect that you love cats as much as
you do. I personally am allergic and not a big fan.
I don't wish them any harm, but I really respect
that that you love and got your cats.
Speaker 9 (27:50):
Go on so with love from the KFI community.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Man, I hope you're going to have a better day.
Take care, but thank you.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
He believes that you really do love cats.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
Well.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
And I do believe that you do because I saw
you with those kittens.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
What kittens.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
I don't know why you don't want to remember the
kittens that came by with Robert Kavasik.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
My heart goes out to Mark Thompson.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
They crawled all over your body.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
They did not crawl over anything. They did. I have
a video.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
I love to see that, Gary Chan, there was a
kitten over here, and there was a kitten over Did
you know the.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Air conditioning doesn't work in our building right now? Really?
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Is that why there's a massive fan in the engineering
room with all the servers and computers. It's like the
biggest fan ever built.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Huge fan, big ass fan. Oh.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
I support this, but it's still cold in here, still freezing,
still freezing.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
Gary and Shannon will continue right after this. You've been
listening to The Gary and Shannon Show. You can always
hear us live on KFI AM six forty nine am
to one pm every Monday through Friday, and anytime on
demand on the iHeartRadio app.
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Let's take a lane away.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
People are just getting their kids back to school. They're
trying to get to work before nine. Let's take a
lane away during rush hour.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
That's brilliant.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Hey, I took out all the f's and the mfs
and the CSS and all of the thanks.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Oh yeah, wow.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
I drove in the carpool lane. It got medieval out
there for me. He did everything wrong, and I was
going to have a very nice conversation with the officer
who arrested me. Finally I was.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
I had the whole conversation in my head.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
He was going to be super reasonable. I was going
to be reasonable.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Yeah, oh my goodns. This anyway, Well, welcome back to school.
Most La LA unified at least, but I think goes
back tomorrow. So I have a bunch of other schools started.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Yesterday wildlife in my area against the foothills, not elementary
school students, and I had those today too, which is
why I'm bringing up the story. So this was the
first day for the local school there. So the street
there which is usually emptiest, lined with cars and people, moms,
and they're walking their kids to school, and everything's new
and fresh, and everyone's got their brand new school clothes on.
(01:32):
It's very sweet, and new lunch boxes and the whole bit.
And there's a coyote that I've seen from time to
time on that street, just posted up like, yeah, I
know you're all back to school, but guess what.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
I've been roaming out here every morning.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Since y'all left school, and I'm still out here.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Lakey's a gang member. Clay, Yes, territory completely.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
That's nice.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
I think that's not It proves that nature and humans
we can live wildly interface. Yes, we live together without one,
you know, upset with the other. Yeah, hopefully it was
all copesthetic. Well did you hear any children being eaten?
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Not yet?
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Lot going on today, as goes on every single day.
The big deal this week, of course, is that President
Trump is going to be meeting with Vladimir Putin Friday.
And we do now know that this meeting is going
to be taking place at a joint Military base, Joint
Base Elmendorf, Richardson, over thirteen thousand square acres. They are
(02:39):
in Anchorage, Alaska, all of it to discuss Russia's three
year war on Ukraine.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Land swapping seems to be the topic of the day
and Europe and Zelenski trying to figure out how to
get that into Trump's craw that we are not going
to give up land.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
That's not going to be part of the deal. European
leaders met with well Zoom, called with Zelanski today and
then had Vice President in vance and President Trump on
the call as well. This is the French President Emmanuel
Markrone through translator.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
The exchange with President Trump allowed him to declare his
intentions for the meeting on the fifteenth of August and
allowed us to very clearly explain our expectations. I thank
him for that, and I think I can say that
several messages came out of the exchange that we just had,
and which is a very important mention. The first is
that President Trump was very clear on the fact that
(03:38):
the US wants to obtain a ceasefire during this meeting in.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Alaska, although the White House is kind of pushed back
against that, saying that this is this is going to
be a listening exercise that yes, even though that would
be great if they came out with a ceasefire agreement.
You can't really do that without Ukraine and Europe at
the table. To reiterate what you said yesterday, retired General
Philip Breedlove, former Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces for NATO,
(04:06):
I believe he is the official title. He said basically
that Putin needs this if he's going to be elevated
to the status of world leaders.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
This has been his aim for nearly twenty years. He
wants to deal with the American president over the top
of Europe and certainly over the top of Ukraine. He
desperately needs to be seen as a world leader at
that small table, unencumbered by the Europeans or Ukraine. And
(04:38):
I think that we should be very very careful not
to legitimize the fact that Putin can cut a deal
about Europe and Ukraine without Europe and Ukrainecuse.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Here's the thing. I understand this way of thinking.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
I understand the way of thinking, oh, he's a war
criminal all the bits, he's not legitimate.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
He is legitimate. He is a legitimate world leader.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Part of it is it because he's crazy and you
can't trust him, Yes, a big part of it. But
he's not a minor player. Vladimir Putin is not a
minor player.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
But is he major enough to be the former to
be as powerful as other Soviet dictators or Russian presidents.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
I mean it's.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
He's not a super he's not the leader of a superpower,
but he's the leader of a country with a lot
of power.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
I'm not saying that this should be somebody who is
revered or bowed down to. I'm just saying he is
not inconsequential like he is not. I understand that he's
an awful person. He's committed atrocities, but he has a
immense amount of power still, so he is a world leader.
I don't know if a meeting with Trump puts him
(05:59):
on higher ground. I wouldn't say that. And part of
the reason that he is so vaunted is because he's
freaking crazy and he's got access to weapons that'll wipe
us off the planet.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Yeah, whether we like it or not, he does have power.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Speaking of Alaska, there is a massive problem, a giant
wave of water that's gushing out of an Alaska glacier.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
It just clicked on this.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Yeah, it is a it's a weird story. It's getting worse.
It's peaking. Right about now. In the next hour or
two is when Juno, Alaska could be wiped off the
map because of this flood.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
My god. Officials recommend residents in the seventeen foot lake
level inundation zone evacuate now.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Don't wait, don't wait. It's called suicide basin. Yeah, we'll
talk about it when we come back.
Speaker 7 (06:50):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Also today for what you watch on Wednesday, the best
bad movies, I mean bad movies you can't take your
eyes off because they're so awful. Bad writing, bad show,
bad acting, whatever it is. What is your favorite bad
great movie.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
It's hard too, because the really bad ones that have
achieved cult status in your mind now are great.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
They've kind of like Feathers. Yeah, bad movie. I hated
that movie. When I saw.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
You know what to do?
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Jump on the talkback feature talk about pets, cats specifically who.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Have been abandoned things that I saw. I was affected
last night. I think this may have impacted it as well.
Mark Thompson lost his cat that has been around for
a long time. Oh God, and he made a beautiful
post last night. I remember for his Instagram whatever it was,
but I saw that and it was that was tough.
And again from a guy who's.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Like, well, Mark Thompson's very feeling human. He's like the
opposite of her, I know, And I felt awful.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
I felt awful were him, Yeah, which is usually not
my So that started it's not my go to Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Yeah, well, I'm.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Glad that you that you felt empathy and that you
show what I felt.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
I didn't know what the feeling was.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Yeah, you felt pain for him to put words on it.
So that's what started this probably. And then this morning,
did things get off to the wrong track.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Or no, no question, Mark, no to This morning was beautiful.
This morning was great.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
My wife doesn't usually get up when I get up,
and she was awake when I got up, so I
got to say goodbye to her.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
That was great. Traffic was fine, I mean normal, Okay,
we'll work through it. Got to figure out, we'll pinpoint it.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Yeah, all right, what the hell's going on with this glacier?
A glacier outburst is underway as we speak in Alaska,
sending a massive surge of water downstream towards Juno, a
wave of water essentially gushing, causing a river to surge
to a record level and threatening significant flooding in that
(09:05):
state capital. This is the third consecutive August this has happened.
And where does it happen. Well, it's at a place
called Suicide Basin.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Suicide Basin is basically a bathtub at the end of
the Mendenhall Glacier. A lot of snow collects there, obviously
rain and that sort of stuff.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
And we are here.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
We are when it's starting to warm up a bit
and everything starts to melt. And like you said, it's
happened many times over the last several years. Last year
was particularly bad and this year is bad er. They're
talking about a flood level and it doesn't really mean
much when we say it like this, But the flood
level last year we said about fifteen feet.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
I checked just before the show started.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
The Suicide Basin overflow now into the Mendenhall River is
at sixteen point six y five feet, Okay.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
It is expected to crest at sixteen point seven sometime
this morning.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
So it's close.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
They I think that I think they're that window of
time when it's supposed to peak is going on right now.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
It's like a two hour window.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
The record high was fifteen point nine to nine feet
in fact, so we blew that.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Yeah, we blew that record. And they're talking about last year.
It was one home that was actually completely obliterated by
this river and you know, taken down down river out
into the to the bay.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
There.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
This one they're concerned about, or they knew because of
the way the river reacts with the homes that are
along the river. They put up a bunch of Hesco barriers. Now,
a Hesco barrier was probably most if you've seen any
documentary or movie about war in the Middle East. Hesco
barriers are those giant cages that are filled with rocks
(10:51):
or sand in many cases, and they stack them for
eight feet high, depending on what it is. They are
acting as giant sand bags along along the river in
an attempt to not necessarily keep the water out of
the homes. There's an expectation that's going to get there,
but the strongest forces of the water will not tear
away the foundations of both the homes and the roads
(11:15):
and the bridges and everything in their way. But they're
telling it about a thousand people which doesn't seem like
a lot, but it is.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
It's a capital city.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
I mean, it's a capital of the state of Alaska
and it's undergoing this massive, massive, potential disaster.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
However, it being the capital, I believe it's something like
thirty thousand people at all.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Yeah, that's why I say it's not a whole lot
of people, but still yeah, but it is.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
It is significant.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
The glacier itself is one of the huge tourist attractions
there in in and around Juno, which the pictures of it,
I mean, it's still a clear day. It's a beautiful
day in Juno, Alaska, and they're dealing with flooding. Compare
that to the flooding that we've seen in the Upper
Midwest in the last couple of days, where it's just
(12:04):
storm cloud after storm cloud caused by rain. In this case,
it's basically glacial melt and the ice, the ice and
snow that is melting from earlier in the winter.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
There's a guy who does fantasy football stuff. He has
a podcast and does different stuff on different outlets, and
he tweeted that he's about sixty yards from his house
as the Mendenhall River and it is just he's posted
videos just rushing. He said it rose about six feet
over the past two hours. I mean, if you could
imagine that, he said, it's like the universe giving us
(12:37):
a Derrick Henry stiff arm or something. You can always
tell you're close to football season when you get like
a natural event and people start making connections.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Good times.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
The Dodgers, my god, I gotta say, oh, by the way,
I feel really first place with the nine game they
blew a nine game lead, nine games, nine.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Games, and I gotta believe that's rough.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
If you've got one job, you got one job, come
in and get three outs, one job, one job, and
you blow it, so god, I'd feel awful.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
I would feel it in that long awful.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
I mean, I know I blow it every day, but
I do it over a much more longer period of
time than one tait over four hours.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Yes, of about fifteen minutes. Uh yeah, sho hey.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Otani hits into a triple play and everybody makes this
big deal about he's one of two MVPs who then
hit into a triple play the next season.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
It's just a weird okay, And.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Then hit a home run, then hit a home run anyway,
the Dodgers take on the Angels in Anaheim two nights,
First pitch six point thirty. Listen to all Dodger games
on AM five seventy LA Sports live from the Gallpin
Motors Broadcast Booth, and stream all Dodgers games NHD on
the iHeartRadio app Keyword AM five seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
They could actually start that game in second place because
the Padres play the Giants of this afternoon.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
So you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
A couple stories that are going on.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
The White House says it's planning to conduct a review
of Smithsonian exhibitions, the materials and operations. Of course the
two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the country that we're
going to go through next year, and a letter sent
by two the secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. Three top
White House officials said they want to make sure the
(14:27):
museums present the unity, the progress, and the enduring values
that define the American story called this executive order that
the President signed called restoring truth and Sanity to American History.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
So they said that they're going to go through and
make sure that all.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Of the museums and the exhibitions and the materials and
all the operations comport with that executive order.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
What is this I'm reading about your body predicting the future?
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Well, we've talked many times about Malcolm Gladwell because I
can't wait to.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Talk about Wellington. But we'll do that coming up next.
Do you know who Wellington is yet?
Speaker 2 (15:07):
He's a pig.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
He is a pig.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Malcolm Gladwell wrote a book called Blink, The Power of
Thinking Without Thinking.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
It's a great book. I was fascinated by it.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
It started me down a road of the difference between
how humans react in situations where we don't even realize
where we're reacting, versus those situations where we put a
lot of thought into See.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
The one who did thinking fast and slow.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
No, but it's in that same vein. It's funny. I
only hear Khanaman, I think thinking fast, thinking slow.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
I only hear men talking about liking these books, and
I wonder why that is. I mean, I'm not saying
I don't like them or I haven't heard. I just
said I don't know if women are attracted to them
the same way.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
And I wonder why that is?
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Is Because men look at it as like it's a
machine to be figured.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Out or No.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
I think there's something there's something specific about the way
both genders have the fight or flight reflex, because I mean,
that's a major port part of that kind of reptilian
brain reaction to something, to outside threat of some kind.
And I think men, when it comes to fight or flight,
(16:20):
are more likely to square up to something and try
to fight it. Women did total over generalization here, but
I think women are more likely to run. I mean,
and I just think that that's kind of a separation.
I don't know why women aren't as interested in this
sort of thing. I'm fascinated by how you react. I mean,
(16:42):
why is my first reaction yours two apparently? But why
is my first reaction when someone cuts me off on
the freeway or does something stupid to flip them off
or yell at them they can't hear me and they
can't see me.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
You know, why is that the immediate response?
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Where and then five seconds later you're like that was stupid,
they would never see me and they don't care, and dumb.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
You feel instant dumb. So I don't know.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
I would say it's the difference between why we or
how we perceive.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Fight versus flight.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Now, I don't know if that's true or not, but
that's a that's my gut react, that's my initial reptilian
brain reaction to your question.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Have you ever met anyone who doesn't react in traffic? Like,
been in the car with someone who doesn't react in traffic?
I don't think I think so either. I mean it's subdued,
it's not as much as a CS.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
And there is there is something. If there is someone
else in the car, the reaction is often different than
if I'm alone. Yes, yes, yes, But this this book,
this bod you know, body of study looks at how
our bodies predict the future.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
And there are basically three regions of the brain, I said.
The reptilian brain the base of the cortex, responsible for
the most primitive processes and responses. The second is the
limbic system, deals with social and emotional processing. And then
above that is the neocortex, our high order brain functions
(18:14):
sensory perception, cognition, motor commands, you know, you tell your
body to do a certain thing, spatial reasoning, that's where
language is, et cetera.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
But it's it's a fun description of.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Intuition versus instinct, and instinct is one of those things
obviously where it's the fight or flight response. It's the
lowest level of your brain takes in some sort of
some sort of outside information and makes your body do
something with it. You know, you see a rock, No,
you see a piece of trash flying towards your windshield,
(18:50):
your body your eyes blink and your body tenses up,
even though it's a plastic bag and it's not going
to hurt you, but your body doesn't know that yet.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
It's just protecting itself.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
I've been actively trying to operate with intuition as opposed
to instinct, because instinct is therefore your survival and we
don't need that as much in twenty twenty five as
we did back in the caveman days.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
And I am more instinctual.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
I'm more reactive than I need to be, so like,
I love the fact that it's differentiating between those two
parts instinct and intuition. Your intuition is the one who's like, okay,
calm down, chill, all right, well we have here.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
And instinct is just like react immediately.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
And the way that they describe it Marina Kanakova is
an author psych professor at Columbia said, people call it intuition,
scientists will call it expertise. Basically that you learn your
expertise through many, many, many iterations of a situation. She
(19:48):
uses poker as an example of that. She's new to poker,
so if she thinks someone is bluffing in the hand
that she's playing, she's not really great at it. She
doesn't have the expertise or intuition isn't honed yet.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
But somebody who's.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Played poker for forty years or fifty years, their intuition
there are hundreds of thousands of hands of poker that
they've played, gives them that expertise and gives them a
stronger intuition in terms of being able to determine if
someone is if someone is lying.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
It's why that's Nathan Fielder show.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
It's not just laughs, Like there's something behind rehearsing life things.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Right to give you that at least taste of that intuition.
The whole article that goes on from the London Times
actually goes on and describes how it is that we
perceive if we don't have the expertise in certain areas
we don't have that intuition built up yet. There's sort
(20:48):
of a middle ground where we get they refer to
it as anxiety. We get anxious about something, and it's
really just the human body and brain not dealing well
with uncertainty. We're just we're just being uncertain about what's
going to happen. I mean, think of the people in Juno,
Alaska right now. They don't know when this flooding is
going to end. They don't know if it's going to
(21:09):
peak at seventeen feet or go even higher, and they
don't know what's going to happen to their home or
their neighborhood. And that anxiety that unknown creates will create
in them when it's done, some amount of expertise, some
amount of intuition to deal with it.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Next time, all right, coming up next to the story
of Wellington, a stray indoor pig who thinks he's a dog.
It's a feel good story. Get ready, we're gonna snap
everyone out of that bad mood.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on Demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
The Return of Michael Monks.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Oh well, I mean he hasn't gone anywhere, but yeah,
he hasn't it on the show for a while.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Yeah, we did not ban.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
There were some things that he was saying that were
probably he needed to be red.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Oh really, well, so he was like suspended from the
Darian from the show.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Yes, what happened that I'm not privy to. It had
to do with the flavors of ice cream? Did you
guys get to fisticuffs?
Speaker 2 (22:15):
No?
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Was it a flavor he was working on that you
did not enjoy or vice versa.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Well, he basically told me that carmel is not an
option and we had some words about that.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Okay, I don't like Sorry, it was an ugly.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
That has nothing to do with him as a newsperson,
as a value to the show. I wish you didn't
let your sweet tooth dictate what kind of content we
provide on this show.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Right, Well, that's why I'm a pez candy. This is
why I'm reopening my heart okay to him. I love
that giving him an opportunity. Oh, we're asking now.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
I have to be careful how we say this, because
I think there might be some misconception. We're asking for
the worst. Sorry, we're asking for the best bad movies.
Speaker 7 (23:02):
Gary and Shannon, this is rob the worst movie, but
I still consider it the worst movie and waste of time.
It won an Academy Award. Is everything everywhere all at once.
I really tried to like the movie.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Yes, that for the whole thing.
Speaker 7 (23:17):
Wish I could have gotten that two and a half
hours back or whatever.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
It stinks. It still stinks. Hate it, Thank you bye. Okay,
So I don't remember it completely. I do remember.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
You've got to kind of be in the mood for it.
You gotta be a little high exactly. Probably helps.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Okay, but that's an example of a bad good movie.
We want to make sure we're talking about good bad
movie like Freddy Krueger, like movies that are awfully made,
poorly acted, written, like trash.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
But you can't turn away from Heathers. Heathers is one
of them.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Producer Michelle had suggested Showgirls that Elizabeth I.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Ever saw that because I can't see Jesse like that.
Speaker 8 (24:04):
Evil did too perfect, Sam Raimi before he directed Spider
Man and For the Love of the Game Bruce Campbell
so over the top, way over the top, so bad,
so great.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Yeah, man, whenever I think of the Love of the Game,
I just cringed with that one. Line, go get my agent.
He's the most important person to me right now.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
There's a couple others that we used to watch in
high school, like the Adventures of Remo Williams.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
That was a awful, awful movie that you can't turn
away from it.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
I throw this one out there in that vein Adventures
in Babysitting awful, great movie.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Yeah, fun Thor Fun to want which Thor in that movie?
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Oh? Th in the movie? Yes, I thought mean Thor
the movie in the Garage. That's right.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Thor is a great movie. You would watch your mouth
about Thor.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
And there was another one I got it, I see
if I remember the name of it.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
It was college.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
When I was in college, there were friends that wanted
to watch this movie and I never really understood.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
I mean, Office Space was an awful movie but became great.
You know, there's some movies that just achieved cult status
that were just not good. It's not that they didn't
get good reviews when they came out. There's not very good.
But once you sat down and dug into him, you're like,
this is genius.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Here's a movie that is awful that we couldn't turn
away from. It's called bad taste. It was made in
nineteen eighty seven Peter Jackson from Like The Lord of
the Rings, all of those things. This was his first
feature film. It's a story about aliens landing in New
Zealand and harvesting humans for an intergalactic fast food franchise. Okay, awful,
(25:46):
I'll throw out bad script. I'll throw out lover Boy.
Great awful movie. Patrick Dempsey.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
I believe plays this young pizza pizza delivery man and
he's hooking up with old divorce says. And you got
to order extra anchovies. It's a whole thing. Let us
know what is your What is your favorite good bad movie.
It's an awful movie, but you can't look away from it.
(26:13):
We've run out of time now for Wellington. I'm not
gonna squeeze him into one minute. You're absolutely wrong if
you think that's the path I'm going to take. Wellington
deserves more of our time, So we're gonna have to
punt him until I mean not punt the pig, but
Wellston place him later into the show.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Wellington might be an example of something that is so
bad it's good.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
He is not an attractive pig, but there's adorable Wellington.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
I mean, is there a better name for a pig
that thinks he's a dog than Wellington?
Speaker 3 (26:49):
I say, nay, no, what about Ham, No, what about Bake?
Speaker 1 (26:55):
No Wellington. We'll tell you his story coming up. But
we come back you Carnitas. No, we will celebrate the
return of Michael Monks, Ladies and gentlemen, no.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
And no anywhere and no no no.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Gary austid him from the show because they got into
a fight over caramel ice cream.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
I don't know any Okay, man, Am I right? We'll
do that when we come back to Gary.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Do I have a message here?
Speaker 9 (27:29):
Hey, Garbar I have called in the past and just
just expressed my love for you in a lot of
different ways. Thank you, and I wanted to let you

Speaker 1 (28:05):
And I do believe that you do because I saw
you with those kittens.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
What kittens.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
I don't know why you don't want to remember the
kittens that came by with Robert Kavasik.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
My heart goes out to Mark Thompson.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
They crawled all over your body.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
They did not crawl over anything. They did. I have
a video.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
I love to see that, Gary Chan, there was a
kitten over here, and there was a kitten over Did
you know the.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Air conditioning doesn't work in our building right now? Really?
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Is that why there's a massive fan in the engineering
room with all the servers and computers. It's like the
biggest fan ever built.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Huge fan, big ass fan. Oh.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
I support this, but it's still cold in here, still freezing,
still freezing.
