Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to kf
I AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
I'd rather have focus on my massive ass forehead. Oh
my god, that's why we love you. That's why we
love you. Thank you.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
We'll do what you watch on Wednesday. Coming up a
little bit later. If you let us know what is
your favorite bad movie. I mean critically panned bad acting,
bad writing. All of it is bad. But whenever it's on, man,
you can't stop watching it.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
We do have the story of Wellington, the stray indoor Pig.
I don't know how you can be astray and be indoors.
But we're going to get to all of those questions
and get them all answered.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Coming up next in the meantime, what else.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Is going on? Time for what's happening?
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Well, as we mentioned, the President is getting into the arts.
The President today named George Straight, Sylvester Stallone, Gloria Gaynor Kiss,
and actor Michael Crawford among the first batch of Kennedy
Center Honors nominees under his leadership as the Center's chairman,
and he's gonna host the awards.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Show and a truth social post Sweet Jesus. In a
true social post yesterday, he wrote great nominees for the
Trump Kennedy Center whoops, I mean Kennedy Center Awards own.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
He said work is being.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Done on the site that would bring it back to
the absolute top level of luxury, glamour and entertainment. Listen,
we've seen what his taste is when it comes to
interior decorating and gaudy all caps is putting it mildly.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
So.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
He said the Kennedy Center had fallen on hard times physically,
but will soon be making a major comeback, and the
Kennedy Center on its social media feed, said it was
honored to host the President, who would be visiting the
building for the first third time since January.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Do you remember when La County Sheriff's deputy Jan Escalante
was shot and killed in front of his mom's house.
It happened in Cyprus Park in two thousand and eight.
It led to the arrest of multiple suspects the search
for Roberto Salazar, who was charged with murder.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
He had not been apprehended.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Now he has among the twenty six fugitives the United
States has taken into custody from Mexico. Jan Escalante was
a father of three. He had been with the Sheriff's
department for two and a half years when he was killed.
He was an Army Reserve member as well a Rock
War veteran. Just last year, La County approved another twenty
thousand dollars in an effort to bring renewed attention to
(02:49):
this murder.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
It's a good thing they've finally got him.
Speaker 6 (02:54):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
The Trump administration has been ordered to restore some of
the research grants to UCLA. A federal judge ordered the
administration to restore some of the five hundred and eighty
four million dollars worth of grants that it took away.
National Science Foundation grants covered in this ruling from yesterday
reportedly make up about a third of the eight hundred
(03:16):
or so grants that were frozen by the administration last month.
This came from District Judge Rita Lynn said the government's
suspension of the funds violated her previous ruling that blocked
the termination of Science Research A research grant.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Neighbors and van eyes are very upset because there's a
guy who insists on blaring three train horns from his
home almost daily. You know, train enthusiasts are a very
particular bunch.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Oh, this is not a train enthusiast. Oh, it's not
a man with a mental issue.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Because when you get a man who loves trains, oh
do you do you get a man who loves trains?
They are not fanatics the way that there are fanatics
about trains. And I say that in a lovingly way,
like I think it's really cool when someone's super into
trains and can tell you all the things about the trains.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
It's fascinating. It's a whole new world.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Yeah, but this is different than that. Rob Hayes from
ABC seven actually did a story that.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Shatters the silence here most afternoons for months now.
Speaker 7 (04:18):
He puts his alarm on his house alarm and has
that running and then he uses the horn and he
blows it for you know, like thirty seconds. Then then
it'll stop, and in a few minutes he does it again,
and it's over and over and over again.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
It's brilliant editing by Rob and whoever.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
Yeah, that really is great editing. Fun But this guy
that's funny.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Gary Boydasian Boyadzian admits he does it. He says it's
I know it's not fair to my neighbors. If I
were in their shoes, I would complain too. It's loud
and it's disturbing. His problem is he has a long
running beat with the Lapeds Vanny's Division over what he
won't tell anybody.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
So he's not a train enthusiast.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Wouldn't it have been a better story if it was
just a man who loves trains and he wants to
bring that love to his neighborhood three times a day.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Palli High School started their first day of the school
year today. Of course, Palli Charter High School was destroyed
in the fireback in January. The new campus is an
old Sears building in Santa Monica, the same place that
they finished their last semester. But a nice, nice move,
I suppose, a nice place. Kids finally get to go
back to a place that they can call their own
(05:37):
for a while.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Darwin is enjoying new life thanks to AI. It's a
whole new well trove of books to be written about
Darwinism thanks to AI. People who listen to AI in particular.
This last case is a man who poisoned himself with
bromide after taking dietary advice from chat GPT, to which
(05:59):
I say, if you take dietary advice from your bot,
I don't care what happens to you.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Don't go to your bot for advice. It's a bot.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
He wanted to eliminate salt from his diet and asked that,
and bromide became the replacement that they suggested.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
You know, there's people who take advice from anybody like
they just want to hear all the opinions all the time,
and they kind of weigh that advice the same.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
They give that all that advice the same weight.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
That's worrisome.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
It's worrisome, but it's also one of.
Speaker 3 (06:34):

Darwin getting his crack at things once again. All of

Speaker 4 (06:51):
Can we have another hint?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
No, you haven't done any homework.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
I have.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
I've been doing nothing but homework post World War two.
And it's a movie.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
It was not a play or it started as a
movie and became a play.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I'm pretty sure it was a movie.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
How many words are in the title. I think it's
a fair question. That's not going to give it away.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Five? Five?
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Okay? All right, yeah, okay, five.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Words in the title. His character in the play initials
are a M. And it's post World War two. Do
your work people, I need a new work chat GPT.
Oh that's what I should ask my bot.
Speaker 6 (07:38):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Don't forget to let us know what you think is
the best worst movie.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Just a horrible movie that you that you love.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Sorry, if it's a cult movie, it doesn't have to
be so esoteric that we've never heard of it. Whatever
you're into, let us know in the talk back feature.
Just tap the microphone when you're listening on the iHeartRadio app. Wellington,
we'd like to introduce you to Wellington.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
Now.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Wellington is a ninety pound miniature pig. Wellington arrived at
a Maryland animal shelter in June, and the staff there
quickly realized that Wellington, well he was different.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
He behaved more like a dog than a pig.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Amber is a behavior Slash Rescue coordinator there. She says,
Wellington preferred nice, comfy bedding and blankets. He didn't like
straw or hay. He preferred to be around the air conditioning.
He did not like to be outside. Wellington liked the
finer things in life. Wellington enjoyed with being, enjoyed being
(08:49):
with people and other animals. And whenever he got excited,
what would he do?
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Bark?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
No, like a dog, but he would wag his tail
like a dog. He would sit for retreat. He would
come when he was called. He's about three, they believe,
but not as you can tell your typical farm pig.
He was found roaming the streets of glen Burnie. Local
Animal Services get this call that a stray pigs wandered
(09:17):
up to a guy's truck and officers went to retrieve
him and take him to the shelter. Now Wellington wasn't
in great shape. He had skin issues, he had overgrown hoofs,
low weight.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
It was bad. Why are you laughing at that?
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Pigs are really smart, aren't they?
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Yes, and I've seen them described as smarter than DAWs.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
He's got a big personality. Why are you saying that?
Why are you Uh, seems to be had odds with
Wellington for you.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Know, Uh, I just think Wellington knows he probably didn't
look very like you said. There were some bad stuff,
some skin stuff going on, and over grown hoofs and
stuff like that. If he were to just present himself
as a pig, they'd be like, oh, it's a dirty pig.
But he realizes there's something to our fascination with dogs.
(10:14):
For a lot of people, well, you know, they'd put
dogs above pigs, right, Pigs they think of barnet.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
They keep the dog inside, they put the pig outside.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Right, So if he's going to get any sort of
care that he wants, he's going to have to, you know,
pretend to be a dog.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Well it's working. They started calling him Wellie. By the way,
he's now house trained, comfortable walking on a leash like
a dog. He slips under a blanket at night to
tuck himself in. If you start to scratch his back,
well he'll flop over and show you his tummy, close
his eyes and just be all peaceful and happy. He
(10:52):
likes his belly rubs.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Well, who doesn't do.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
You bring in a whole crew of people for that.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
To rub my belly.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
I mean there's just a lot of surface areas.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Oh oh, I see this goes back to the forehead thing.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
I guess.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Yeah, yeah, you're the one was talking about your own butt.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
His favorite foods are walnuts, watermelon, mandarin oranges, squash, cucumber,
and romaine lettuce. Volunteers bring him this stuff from their
gardens at home. He does not like bell peppers, he
hates them, but he'll do anything for walnuts.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Why would you know that he hates bell peppers?
Speaker 4 (11:36):
He shows you. He's like, ah, I don't know, I
just made it up.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
After a few days at the shelter, they sent him
to a local rescue farm, but Wellington was having none
of it. He started looking frantic. On the farm, he
was trying to find a way out. There was a
cow that chased him and another pig that bit his booty.
He was so scared that Wellington busted through the fence
(12:03):
and injured himself. He returned to the shelter the same
day that has the air conditioning and the walnuts, and
remain there for seven weeks. They've now partnered with Eastern Snouts,
which is a national pig rescue organization. Do we have
somebody on the phone from Eastern Snouts. I feel like
we do. We will get them holding up later. Bring
(12:29):
that on me, well I got to get you ready
for the theater. Pigs can be raised both indoors and outdoors. Yes,
so it can be a thing. But they have found
a match they believe a home for Wellie. Mindy Gallagher
lives on a small farm in Little Metals, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
That sounds like a delightful doesn't it.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
I know I want to live there with her husband.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
They've got six pigs, four dogs, three goats, and numerous chickens.
Mindy says, Wellie's little face shows up. He's so cute.
We ended up being the lucky people they picked for him.
She drove six hours to bring him to his new home.
She says he was wonderful the whole ride he went.
He was on this gigantic dog bed during the ride,
(13:17):
and he would snort a little when we went over
the bumps. You do that sometimes, yeah, like like that,
like a little piggy going over the bumps. He just
wants to be around us, wants lots of attention. They
have a room for him. He has twinkle lights, pig posters, toys,
a radio, a fan, a giant bed.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
What a smart pig?
Speaker 2 (13:37):
You're right?
Speaker 4 (13:39):
Oh my god? Did he?
Speaker 3 (13:40):
And all he's got to do is every once in
a while wag his tail like a dog.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
He even has his own pool. Yeah, he has his
own kiddie pool.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
They put sunscreen on him. Sensitive skins, they do, very
sensitive skin. He snacks on watermelon and cheerios.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
That sounds good.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
His life sounds amazing.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Stay a my.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Fred Rogan staff at the shelter, so they feel a
void without Wellington there, but they're thrilled that he are
happy home to go to.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
I mean, good for him. What a way to work
yourself up in life. You're malnourished, you've got skin sores,
you're wandering around the streets, and you start wagging your
tail like a dog, and you end up with your
own pool, filled your belly with watermelon and cheerios and
tommy rubs standless tummy rubbs.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
You don't have to be different. I would say you're okay.
Whoever you are not well, I would tell Wellington listen.
I know, acting like a dog got you to where
you need to be, or where you felt you needed
to be, but it's okay to just be a pig.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
The last time I checked, Wellington wasn't asking you for advice.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
No, thank good.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
And he has a radio too, so he knows you.
He's not calling.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
He listens.
Speaker 8 (14:57):
It's a Christmas story.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Oh my god, the red writer beating Gary.
Speaker 8 (15:03):
Please tell me playing the kid?
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Please up playing the kid and not dad and not dad.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
It's not a Christmas start. It's too early for a
Christmas story.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
He's not a grumpy dad. There is a Christmas angle
to it, there is.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
I think the play that Gary is in is cheaper
by the dozen, cheaper by the.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Are you involving words like A as one of your words?
Speaker 3 (15:32):
No, amadis Mozart will be Gary's rule.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
I can see you with the hair, the curls, the curls.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Oh, I guess he. I don't know if he had
curls or not.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Were you just gonna fact check me on Mozart's hair?
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Well, I was gonna say, how would you know? There
are no pictures of him, but I guess there are
paintings of him.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
His wig, yeah, his wig, he had locks, man, There
are no pictures, And of course there's pictures of Mozart.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
The best bad movies.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
We'll talk about that some other shows that we happen
to be watching when we come back to.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
Can you she was Alive in the seventeen hundreds for
crying out loud?
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Right, there's pictures of Mozart, like actual pictures.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
Yeah, show me well, I mean, I don't have the negatives.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
A lot has gone on. I can't believe all the
things we've gotten to today. I might go back and
listen to the podcast. I feel like I miss some stuff.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
You missed some stuff. I think so.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Literary genres for one thousand dollars. Dashiel Hammett is considered
a creator of this type of fiction. That's also a
way to prepare eggs.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Interesting, Dashel Hammet, Uh, think about ways to put hair eggs?
Speaker 2 (17:11):
What has scrambled?
Speaker 4 (17:14):
You have another way?
Speaker 2 (17:15):
What is over easy?
Speaker 4 (17:17):
Try again?
Speaker 2 (17:17):
What a sunny side up?
Speaker 9 (17:19):
M No?
Speaker 4 (17:19):
Think more portable? Bring them along?
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Hard boiled Yes.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Hard boiled fiction is a subgenre of crime and detective
fiction characterized by its gritty realism, cynicism, and emphasis on
the darker aspects of human nature.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Like Benedict Waveless, Rancheros, something anybody.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Feels like an episode of.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
Leanne Dennis Lehane. Is that his name?
Speaker 2 (17:55):
That sounds good?
Speaker 1 (17:56):
It seems like that would be hard boiled fiction, a
little bit maybe dark criminal.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
It's time for what you're watching Wednesday. Following program is
brought to you in living color, but you're watching in
the Americans love television. They win their kids USA television. Man,
you've been watching too many of those live television shows.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
What you watching Wednesday brought to you by the Good
Feet Store. If you have a hip or knee or
back pain, see if art supports can help from the
Good Feed Store.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Go to the Good Feed Store.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Well, you got me on the Leanne train, and and
it is. It's a hearkening back to sitcoms. You get
over the laugh track pretty quickly.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
I did. It annoyed me at first, but.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
It's that Chuck Lori.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
It's not a laugh track. It's a live studio audience. Okay, well,
but I know what you mean.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
It can be horse laughter, weird, Yeah, Chuck Lori product,
which is fun. It makes it real and kind of
dances on the line. It's it's full of characters who
you'll like, who you root for. You know, I was
gonna say, you mentioned that the sister kind of bothers you,
and she has this weird facial expression that she does.
Like this weird facial expression though, Kristin Johnston, Yeah, and
(19:12):
I like her. I like the two of them together.
But you know what, I really liked her when that
kind of wore away for me. Any sort of like
she's too harsh is when there is. I don't want
to ruin it for anybody, but there is in one
episode at least Ah when she seems to be in
love or in like with somebody, and it's like a
(19:33):
softer side of her, and she looks so much prettier
and younger and chill, and just it's that softer side
of a woman, because she comes across pretty brash and
in your face. And in this episode where she's in love,
it's just like this kinder, gentler, same character, and you're.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
Like, oh, it's funny.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
It's like it's it's so in your face of the
difference of how women can come across.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
We said this also we were talking with Justin off
the Yard. He's actually he knows a bit about Leanne
Morgan as a stand up comedian, but as an actress
in a sitcom. The first couple episodes are hard to
get through. I mean it's a little, like you said,
it's a little jarring. The laughter from the audience is,
we're not used to that in TV shows the way
(20:23):
we watch him nowadays. And this is a complete throwback,
from writing to production, to characters, to jokes, to pacing
to punchlines. It's a huge homage to the I don't know,
late eighties early nineties sitcoms that a lot of us
grew up on. So there was some that amount of
comfort to it. And as the as the show goes on,
(20:45):
there's sixteen episodes, which is unheard of for shows these days.
Leanne Morgan does a fan sheydastic flipping jaw.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
She's a great actress. I mean, she's playing it seems
like herself. Yeah, And that's why she's great at her
stand up, I think is because she is completely authentic.
She's one hundred and ten percent herself. She's comfortable in
her own skin, she's telling the stories she knows to
be true. It all works.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
She also has it because of her stand up, which,
by the way, you can see. She also has a
stand up special that you mentioned on Netflix called I'm
every Woman. I think there's one more that she has.
It's not on Netflix, but it's it's somewhere else. She
started not as a stand up comedian. She was selling jewelry.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Yeah, and she was going like door to door essentially,
like selling to other women. And then the women started
like hiring her because she was so hilarious all the
time for parties and things like that, and and the
ball got rolling.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Yeah, so good, good for her. We've also been trying
to get her.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Your friends do that to you when you stop by
and you've got a new Alan wrench or something to
show them, and they're like, you are so.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
Shunny, you should come by.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Are you for our poker party? Get the guys going
with some laughs?
Speaker 2 (21:58):
No?
Speaker 4 (21:58):
No, hire you for for like a wake labor awake. Yeah,
I don't.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
I don't want to be good at that. Oh, I
don't want to be good at You're really good at funerals,
I know, but I don't want to be good Okay.
There's a trio of trailers up on the website if
you go to KFI AM six forty dot com.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Slash Gary and Shannon. We have Marty Supreme. Have you
seen all of the ping pong movies that are available?
I think there's only one. It's called Balls of Fury.
This is a new ping pong movie called Marty Supreme.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
I've never heard of this said in the world of
nineteen fifties ping pong culture.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
He wants to he wants to be a ping pong champ.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Scarlett Johansson is in Eleanor the Great, which is we
have the trailer for, and then Thursday Murder Club on.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
I wanted to get into these books. They they're reviewed
wonderfully and I think I started reading one of them
and it was a little too maybe it's too close
to home. It was like people in a retirement home
solving crime. I think that's my issue with it. I
was like, I can see this in my future in
a couple of years.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
But everyone loves these books.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
I don't know how many there are now, but it
is getting the Netflix treatment and they say it's looking
like a much must watch murder mystery.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, Ben Kingsley and Celia Imria. That
is a cat Celia, but Helen Miron and Pierce Brosnen
were most recently in mob Land.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
Yeahbland, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
On paramount emotionally, how old do you feel emotionally?
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Yes, I don't know how to answer that.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
How old do you feel emotionally?
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Fifty two?
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Emotionally you're fifty two in your age, But emotionally, how old.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
Do you feel?
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Can't I feel that you can?
Speaker 1 (23:49):
That?
Speaker 2 (23:50):
I feel you can? Okay. Leo DiCaprio says he feels
thirty five.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
He's also about your age.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
He also feels twenty one year olds.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
Yeah, only that's it all right.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
When we come back, we'll hear from you the best
awful movies.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Oh. I found an emotional age test you can take.
Speaker 6 (24:12):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
There's like twenty more questions that wouldn't be six minutes.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Six minutes. That's forever.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
I guess we just won't know how old you are emotionally.
You were trending to be emotionally immature.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
You say it us lower because it sounded like you
said you.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Were trending in the direction I believe of being emotionally mature.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Which I do believe you are.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
I thought you said, inn sure, I don't think that
you would sleep with twenty one year olds like Leo
DiCaprio does.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
The Boys in the Band.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
Wait, what they'd have to be at least twenty five?
Speaker 9 (24:52):
The Boys in the Band is what Gary's going to
be in He's Alan McCarthy.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
Oh, nail it?
Speaker 2 (25:00):
No?
Speaker 4 (25:01):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Is it a war movie. It's not a war movie.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
It's about the after effects of war. Yes, huh, that
sounds depressing. No, no, no, it's very fun. Oh.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Okay, you know the you know, post World War Two,
everybody's trying to have fun, trying to get back into
the spirit of things. Yeah, you know, all the bad
stuff was done right, Okay, Roadhouse.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
New York Times, you'd have been really good at war.
You're good at compartmentalizing.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
Since the nineteen eighty nine movie, the original, the one
with Patrick Swayze, Is it Roadhouse?
Speaker 4 (25:44):
Are you in Roadhouse?
Speaker 2 (25:46):
No?
Speaker 3 (25:48):
Roger Ebert back in the day identified Roadhouse as expertly
walking a fine line. He wrote when he reviewed the movie,
he said, Roadhouse exists right on the edge. Betwe I
mean the good bad movie and the merely bad movie.
He said, I hesitate to recommend it because so much
depends on the ironic version of the viewer. This is
(26:10):
not a good movie, but viewed in the right frame
of mind, it's not a boring one either. I think
that's a great way to put I mean, there are
plenty of movies that we think of where it's really
not great, but there's something about it, whether it's a
specific actor, or the combination of a couple of actors,
(26:31):
or the setting, or there's something that makes it so
bad that it's good. So we wanted to know what
your favorite good bad movie was.
Speaker 9 (26:41):
All right, Garyan Shannon, you're looking for a movie that
you just can't turn away from. Yeah, that sucks, but
every time it's on you gotta watch it.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
One word and a Conda.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Ah, Jennifer Lopez, if I'm not mistaken, Anaconda, and that
it came off, came after a bunch of or came
with a bunch of sequels after that.
Speaker 4 (27:02):
Anna Conda. That's a blind spot for me.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Let's see Anaconda nineteen ninety seven, thirty years ago.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Yeah, am I right?
Speaker 3 (27:14):
That that's Jennifer A bunch of other It doesn't look
like her. Now, well that doesn't mean that's not hers.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Oh, it is Jennifer Lopez. Interesting, ice Cube was in that. Yeah,
Owen Wilson, Eric Stoltz, Danny Trejo, John Voight.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
That's it's quite the cast. Good morning, Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 10 (27:35):
So you're asking for the best bad movie ever. It's
very la It's called Blood.
Speaker 8 (27:40):
And Blood Out.
Speaker 10 (27:42):
The dubbing on it, there's an actor who apparently couldn't act,
so they had to like dub in his voice.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
There's like lines that is there an Estepez?
Speaker 10 (27:52):
There lines of lines and it's it's it's such a
great terrible movie.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
That's all I gotta say.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
Blood and Blood Out.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
You know gang banger movie. Bye.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
No, there's no Estevez that I could find. But there's
a Benjamin Bratt. Okay, there's a Ving Raims. Oh, there's
a Billy Bob Thornton.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Wow. Yeah, that's blood in Blood Out. That was a
new one to me.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Prison Drugs and Gang War Touched Three young Men in
East LA from the nineteen seventies of the nineteen nineties
came out in April of ninety three.
Speaker 9 (28:24):
Hey, Gary, Hey Shannon, it's Mike and the Iblund Empire. Hey,
I've got one. How about the Adventures of Buckaroo Bond's
Eye across the eighth Dimension. It's really I don't know,
it's I can't stop watching, And even though it's horrible,
every time I see it, I just have to stop.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
I like a train wreck and watch it happening unfold.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Peter Peter Weller, John Lithgow, Ellen Bark and Jeff Goldbloom,
Christopher Lloyd, among others.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
Nineteen eighty four.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
This film centers upon the efforts of the polymas doctor
Bukaroo Bang as physicist, neurosurgeon and test pilot and rock
star to save the world.
Speaker 5 (29:05):
Quite the resume, Hey, guys, really good subject on the
worst best movie, her best worst movie. Actually, what comes
to mind is the first Chainsaw Massacre. I mean, you know,
you can't put your eyes away from its corny as hell,
but it is a pretty good bad movie.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Thanks. I don't think I've ever seen the original Kiss
Meets the Phantom of the Park. Oh, the movie is horrible,
but so good.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
I've never heard of that, if I'm not mistaken. That
was filmed at Magic Mountain. Oh really, Kiss Meets the
Phantom of the Park known as the Attack of the
Phantoms Ah nineteen seventy eight.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Way back then, a mad scientist makes cartoon robots of
the rock group Kiss seen at a California concert.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
Oh sounds dark, Well it's of.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Course it is.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
And now look at the magic mountains come out smelling
like roses.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
This may be a really really recent one. But the
Minecraft movie, it's so terrible. But somehow I sat through
the whole thing. It was weird.
Speaker 4 (30:17):
I heard that about that.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Yeah, but if you if you're a child that likes Minecraft,
that's who it's for.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Jack Black, Jason Memoora.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Hi.
Speaker 8 (30:24):
The movie that I absolutely love, but it's a terrible
movie is Mystery Men. It's with Jennis Garoppolo, Ben Stiller,
Pelee Herman, everybody. It is just a great, funny, stupid movie.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
I've never heard of any of that. That's a good one.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
That's a nineteen ninety nine comedy action there.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
My wife hated me for making her go to see
that movie.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Hi, Gary, Hi Shannon.
Speaker 8 (30:52):
I would have to say Napoleon Dynamite.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Oh I like that one.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
Yeah, but it's a pretty bad movie. But it was good.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Yeah, bad for different reasons.
Speaker 4 (31:02):
Yeah, I like that, Oney, Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 11 (31:05):
If you are ever diagnosed with a terminal illness and
want to live forever. Watch Out of Africa with Meryl
Streep and Robert Redford, because that movie just seemingly goes
on forever.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
I've tried to watch that movie because I love Robert
Redford and it's it was a great.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
Movie, right like it was.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
It was long, but my god, it's it's I just
remember being slow going and I couldn't get into it.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
One of the movies that I loved and I haven't
seen it in a very long time is Shakes the
Clown with Bobcat Goldwaite.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
It sounds like a child bless situation.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
No no, no, no, no, no, not at all. Shakes the Clown.
Clowns come in different clicks and is it a documentary?
Speaker 2 (31:59):
No, it's not, but it's it's.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Every dueling gangs of clowns are pitted against each other
in this outrageous dark comedy. Shakes is an alcoholic kids
party clown aren't they all? Finds himself framed for murder
and must get off the sauce to clear his name.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
Bobcat Goldthwaite plays Shakes, Julie Brown is in it, Adam Sandler,
Blake Clark, Tom Kenny, Paul Dooley, Kathy Grifven, Robin Williams
is in it as Mi'm Jerry.
Speaker 4 (32:31):
It looks like a good time.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Henderson, the mom from the Brady Bunches in this thing.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
That is a That is one of those movies where
when when I watched it, I could not believe they
were getting away with some of the stuff got away
with that was Shakes the Clown, I totally forget.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
I haven't talked about that movie in a long time.
Ogury and Chen. Hey.
Speaker 9 (32:52):
Bad movie I re liked and is really bad is
Planned nine from Outer Space.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
I watched it every once in a while. It's horrible.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
That is uh, that is an old that's a nineteen
fifty seven movie.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Plan nine from Outer Space. That one I haven't seen.
Speaker 5 (33:07):
Roadhouse is the worst movie ever.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
That's funny, that's how we started. But you have to
watch when it comes on.
Speaker 5 (33:14):
I've actually hear him.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
More than got found it.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
I've tried to watch that origin come up.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Yeah, it's come up on the show and I've tried
to watch it, and I just you know, some things
live in that time that they came out. And if
you missed the boat, you miss the boat, right, It's
hard to go back and catch the boat thirty years later.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
It's funny that you mentioned ice Cube was in Anaconda
because his latest movie is on one of these lists.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
I chose not to ask him about this when he
was here because it had a zero percent rating on
Rotten Tomatoes.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
I didn't know anything about it when he was here,
and that's good because I probably would have.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
It's War of the Worlds.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
It's on Amazon, and ice Cube is in a fictional
DC told entirely through a screen courting of a government laptop.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Yeah, it's it looks bad.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
It's got awful reviews, and I decided to pretend it
never happened when he was here.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
You don't want to ruin your your idea of who
ice cubeiz.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Well, I just didn't want to bring it up that
week it had been lit up in the press.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
It's funny because I didn't see anything about it, or
I just assumed it was an ice Cube.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
I don't know it was.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
It was capturing headlines because it was zero percent Rotten tonight.
Speaker 4 (34:26):
It's like nobody that saw it.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
That was good. That's so great.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
All right, John Covelt Show is up next. We'll see
you Tomorrow's They Drive everybody blessings. 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 ap
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to kf
I AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
I'd rather have focus on my massive ass forehead. Oh
my god, that's why we love you. That's why we
love you. Thank you.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
We'll do what you watch on Wednesday. Coming up a
little bit later. If you let us know what is
your favorite bad movie. I mean critically panned bad acting,
bad writing. All of it is bad. But whenever it's on, man,
you can't stop watching it.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
We do have the story of Wellington, the stray indoor Pig.
I don't know how you can be astray and be indoors.
But we're going to get to all of those questions
and get them all answered.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Coming up next in the meantime, what else.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Is going on? Time for what's happening?
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Well, as we mentioned, the President is getting into the arts.
The President today named George Straight, Sylvester Stallone, Gloria Gaynor Kiss,
and actor Michael Crawford among the first batch of Kennedy
Center Honors nominees under his leadership as the Center's chairman,
and he's gonna host the awards.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Show and a truth social post Sweet Jesus. In a
true social post yesterday, he wrote great nominees for the
Trump Kennedy Center whoops, I mean Kennedy Center Awards own.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
He said work is being.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Done on the site that would bring it back to
the absolute top level of luxury, glamour and entertainment. Listen,
we've seen what his taste is when it comes to
interior decorating and gaudy all caps is putting it mildly.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
So.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
He said the Kennedy Center had fallen on hard times physically,
but will soon be making a major comeback, and the
Kennedy Center on its social media feed, said it was
honored to host the President, who would be visiting the
building for the first third time since January.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Do you remember when La County Sheriff's deputy Jan Escalante
was shot and killed in front of his mom's house.
It happened in Cyprus Park in two thousand and eight.
It led to the arrest of multiple suspects the search
for Roberto Salazar, who was charged with murder.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
He had not been apprehended.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Now he has among the twenty six fugitives the United
States has taken into custody from Mexico. Jan Escalante was
a father of three. He had been with the Sheriff's
department for two and a half years when he was killed.
He was an Army Reserve member as well a Rock
War veteran. Just last year, La County approved another twenty
thousand dollars in an effort to bring renewed attention to
(02:49):
this murder.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
It's a good thing they've finally got him.
Speaker 6 (02:54):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
The Trump administration has been ordered to restore some of
the research grants to UCLA. A federal judge ordered the
administration to restore some of the five hundred and eighty
four million dollars worth of grants that it took away.
National Science Foundation grants covered in this ruling from yesterday
reportedly make up about a third of the eight hundred
(03:16):
or so grants that were frozen by the administration last month.
This came from District Judge Rita Lynn said the government's
suspension of the funds violated her previous ruling that blocked
the termination of Science Research A research grant.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Neighbors and van eyes are very upset because there's a
guy who insists on blaring three train horns from his
home almost daily. You know, train enthusiasts are a very
particular bunch.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Oh, this is not a train enthusiast. Oh, it's not
a man with a mental issue.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Because when you get a man who loves trains, oh
do you do you get a man who loves trains?
They are not fanatics the way that there are fanatics
about trains. And I say that in a lovingly way,
like I think it's really cool when someone's super into
trains and can tell you all the things about the trains.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
It's fascinating. It's a whole new world.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Yeah, but this is different than that. Rob Hayes from
ABC seven actually did a story that.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Shatters the silence here most afternoons for months now.
Speaker 7 (04:18):
He puts his alarm on his house alarm and has
that running and then he uses the horn and he
blows it for you know, like thirty seconds. Then then
it'll stop, and in a few minutes he does it again,
and it's over and over and over again.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
It's brilliant editing by Rob and whoever.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
Yeah, that really is great editing. Fun But this guy
that's funny.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Gary Boydasian Boyadzian admits he does it. He says it's
I know it's not fair to my neighbors. If I
were in their shoes, I would complain too. It's loud
and it's disturbing. His problem is he has a long
running beat with the Lapeds Vanny's Division over what he
won't tell anybody.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
So he's not a train enthusiast.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Wouldn't it have been a better story if it was
just a man who loves trains and he wants to
bring that love to his neighborhood three times a day.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Palli High School started their first day of the school
year today. Of course, Palli Charter High School was destroyed
in the fireback in January. The new campus is an
old Sears building in Santa Monica, the same place that
they finished their last semester. But a nice, nice move,
I suppose, a nice place. Kids finally get to go
back to a place that they can call their own
(05:37):
for a while.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Darwin is enjoying new life thanks to AI. It's a
whole new well trove of books to be written about
Darwinism thanks to AI. People who listen to AI in particular.
This last case is a man who poisoned himself with
bromide after taking dietary advice from chat GPT, to which
(05:59):
I say, if you take dietary advice from your bot,
I don't care what happens to you.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Don't go to your bot for advice. It's a bot.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
He wanted to eliminate salt from his diet and asked that,
and bromide became the replacement that they suggested.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
You know, there's people who take advice from anybody like
they just want to hear all the opinions all the time,
and they kind of weigh that advice the same.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
They give that all that advice the same weight.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
That's worrisome.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
It's worrisome, but it's also one of.
Speaker 3 (06:34):

Speaker 4 (06:51):
Can we have another hint?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
No, you haven't done any homework.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
I have.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
I've been doing nothing but homework post World War two.
And it's a movie.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
It was not a play or it started as a
movie and became a play.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I'm pretty sure it was a movie.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
How many words are in the title. I think it's
a fair question. That's not going to give it away.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Five? Five?
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Okay? All right, yeah, okay, five.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Words in the title. His character in the play initials
are a M. And it's post World War two. Do
your work people, I need a new work chat GPT.
Oh that's what I should ask my bot.
Speaker 6 (07:38):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Don't forget to let us know what you think is
the best worst movie.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Just a horrible movie that you that you love.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Sorry, if it's a cult movie, it doesn't have to
be so esoteric that we've never heard of it. Whatever
you're into, let us know in the talk back feature.
Just tap the microphone when you're listening on the iHeartRadio app. Wellington,
we'd like to introduce you to Wellington.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
Now.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Wellington is a ninety pound miniature pig. Wellington arrived at
a Maryland animal shelter in June, and the staff there
quickly realized that Wellington, well he was different.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
He behaved more like a dog than a pig.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Amber is a behavior Slash Rescue coordinator there. She says,
Wellington preferred nice, comfy bedding and blankets. He didn't like
straw or hay. He preferred to be around the air conditioning.
He did not like to be outside. Wellington liked the
finer things in life. Wellington enjoyed with being, enjoyed being
(08:49):
with people and other animals. And whenever he got excited,
what would he do?
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Bark?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
No, like a dog, but he would wag his tail
like a dog. He would sit for retreat. He would
come when he was called. He's about three, they believe,
but not as you can tell your typical farm pig.
He was found roaming the streets of glen Burnie. Local
Animal Services get this call that a stray pigs wandered
(09:17):
up to a guy's truck and officers went to retrieve
him and take him to the shelter. Now Wellington wasn't
in great shape. He had skin issues, he had overgrown hoofs,
low weight.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
It was bad. Why are you laughing at that?
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Pigs are really smart, aren't they?
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Yes, and I've seen them described as smarter than DAWs.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
He's got a big personality. Why are you saying that?
Why are you Uh, seems to be had odds with
Wellington for you.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Know, Uh, I just think Wellington knows he probably didn't
look very like you said. There were some bad stuff,
some skin stuff going on, and over grown hoofs and
stuff like that. If he were to just present himself
as a pig, they'd be like, oh, it's a dirty pig.
But he realizes there's something to our fascination with dogs.
(10:14):
For a lot of people, well, you know, they'd put
dogs above pigs, right, Pigs they think of barnet.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
They keep the dog inside, they put the pig outside.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Right, So if he's going to get any sort of
care that he wants, he's going to have to, you know,
pretend to be a dog.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Well it's working. They started calling him Wellie. By the way,
he's now house trained, comfortable walking on a leash like
a dog. He slips under a blanket at night to
tuck himself in. If you start to scratch his back,
well he'll flop over and show you his tummy, close
his eyes and just be all peaceful and happy. He
(10:52):
likes his belly rubs.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Well, who doesn't do.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
You bring in a whole crew of people for that.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
To rub my belly.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
I mean there's just a lot of surface areas.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Oh oh, I see this goes back to the forehead thing.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
I guess.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Yeah, yeah, you're the one was talking about your own butt.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
His favorite foods are walnuts, watermelon, mandarin oranges, squash, cucumber,
and romaine lettuce. Volunteers bring him this stuff from their
gardens at home. He does not like bell peppers, he
hates them, but he'll do anything for walnuts.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Why would you know that he hates bell peppers?
Speaker 4 (11:36):
He shows you. He's like, ah, I don't know, I
just made it up.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
After a few days at the shelter, they sent him
to a local rescue farm, but Wellington was having none
of it. He started looking frantic. On the farm, he
was trying to find a way out. There was a
cow that chased him and another pig that bit his booty.
He was so scared that Wellington busted through the fence
(12:03):
and injured himself. He returned to the shelter the same
day that has the air conditioning and the walnuts, and
remain there for seven weeks. They've now partnered with Eastern Snouts,
which is a national pig rescue organization. Do we have
somebody on the phone from Eastern Snouts. I feel like
we do. We will get them holding up later. Bring
(12:29):
that on me, well I got to get you ready
for the theater. Pigs can be raised both indoors and outdoors. Yes,
so it can be a thing. But they have found
a match they believe a home for Wellie. Mindy Gallagher
lives on a small farm in Little Metals, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
That sounds like a delightful doesn't it.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
I know I want to live there with her husband.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
They've got six pigs, four dogs, three goats, and numerous chickens.
Mindy says, Wellie's little face shows up. He's so cute.
We ended up being the lucky people they picked for him.
She drove six hours to bring him to his new home.
She says he was wonderful the whole ride he went.
He was on this gigantic dog bed during the ride,
(13:17):
and he would snort a little when we went over
the bumps. You do that sometimes, yeah, like like that,
like a little piggy going over the bumps. He just
wants to be around us, wants lots of attention. They
have a room for him. He has twinkle lights, pig posters, toys,
a radio, a fan, a giant bed.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
What a smart pig?
Speaker 2 (13:37):
You're right?
Speaker 4 (13:39):
Oh my god? Did he?
Speaker 3 (13:40):
And all he's got to do is every once in
a while wag his tail like a dog.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
He even has his own pool. Yeah, he has his
own kiddie pool.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
They put sunscreen on him. Sensitive skins, they do, very
sensitive skin. He snacks on watermelon and cheerios.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
That sounds good.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
His life sounds amazing.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Stay a my.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Fred Rogan staff at the shelter, so they feel a
void without Wellington there, but they're thrilled that he are
happy home to go to.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
I mean, good for him. What a way to work
yourself up in life. You're malnourished, you've got skin sores,
you're wandering around the streets, and you start wagging your
tail like a dog, and you end up with your
own pool, filled your belly with watermelon and cheerios and
tommy rubs standless tummy rubbs.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
You don't have to be different. I would say you're okay.
Whoever you are not well, I would tell Wellington listen.
I know, acting like a dog got you to where
you need to be, or where you felt you needed
to be, but it's okay to just be a pig.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
The last time I checked, Wellington wasn't asking you for advice.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
No, thank good.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
And he has a radio too, so he knows you.
He's not calling.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
He listens.
Speaker 8 (14:57):
It's a Christmas story.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Oh my god, the red writer beating Gary.
Speaker 8 (15:03):
Please tell me playing the kid?
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Please up playing the kid and not dad and not dad.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
It's not a Christmas start. It's too early for a
Christmas story.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
He's not a grumpy dad. There is a Christmas angle
to it, there is.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
I think the play that Gary is in is cheaper
by the dozen, cheaper by the.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Are you involving words like A as one of your words?
Speaker 3 (15:32):
No, amadis Mozart will be Gary's rule.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
I can see you with the hair, the curls, the curls.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Oh, I guess he. I don't know if he had
curls or not.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Were you just gonna fact check me on Mozart's hair?
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Well, I was gonna say, how would you know? There
are no pictures of him, but I guess there are
paintings of him.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
His wig, yeah, his wig, he had locks, man, There
are no pictures, And of course there's pictures of Mozart.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
The best bad movies.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
We'll talk about that some other shows that we happen
to be watching when we come back to.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
Can you she was Alive in the seventeen hundreds for
crying out loud?
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Right, there's pictures of Mozart, like actual pictures.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
Yeah, show me well, I mean, I don't have the negatives.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
A lot has gone on. I can't believe all the
things we've gotten to today. I might go back and
listen to the podcast. I feel like I miss some stuff.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
You missed some stuff. I think so.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Literary genres for one thousand dollars. Dashiel Hammett is considered
a creator of this type of fiction. That's also a
way to prepare eggs.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Interesting, Dashel Hammet, Uh, think about ways to put hair eggs?
Speaker 2 (17:11):
What has scrambled?
Speaker 4 (17:14):
You have another way?
Speaker 2 (17:15):
What is over easy?
Speaker 4 (17:17):
Try again?
Speaker 2 (17:17):
What a sunny side up?
Speaker 9 (17:19):
M No?
Speaker 4 (17:19):
Think more portable? Bring them along?
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Hard boiled Yes.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Hard boiled fiction is a subgenre of crime and detective
fiction characterized by its gritty realism, cynicism, and emphasis on
the darker aspects of human nature.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Like Benedict Waveless, Rancheros, something anybody.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Feels like an episode of.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
Leanne Dennis Lehane. Is that his name?
Speaker 2 (17:55):
That sounds good?
Speaker 1 (17:56):
It seems like that would be hard boiled fiction, a
little bit maybe dark criminal.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
It's time for what you're watching Wednesday. Following program is
brought to you in living color, but you're watching in
the Americans love television. They win their kids USA television. Man,
you've been watching too many of those live television shows.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
What you watching Wednesday brought to you by the Good
Feet Store. If you have a hip or knee or
back pain, see if art supports can help from the
Good Feed Store.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Go to the Good Feed Store.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Well, you got me on the Leanne train, and and
it is. It's a hearkening back to sitcoms. You get
over the laugh track pretty quickly.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
I did. It annoyed me at first, but.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
It's that Chuck Lori.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
It's not a laugh track. It's a live studio audience. Okay, well,
but I know what you mean.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
It can be horse laughter, weird, Yeah, Chuck Lori product,
which is fun. It makes it real and kind of
dances on the line. It's it's full of characters who
you'll like, who you root for. You know, I was
gonna say, you mentioned that the sister kind of bothers you,
and she has this weird facial expression that she does.
Like this weird facial expression though, Kristin Johnston, Yeah, and
(19:12):
I like her. I like the two of them together.
But you know what, I really liked her when that
kind of wore away for me. Any sort of like
she's too harsh is when there is. I don't want
to ruin it for anybody, but there is in one
episode at least Ah when she seems to be in
love or in like with somebody, and it's like a
(19:33):
softer side of her, and she looks so much prettier
and younger and chill, and just it's that softer side
of a woman, because she comes across pretty brash and
in your face. And in this episode where she's in love,
it's just like this kinder, gentler, same character, and you're.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
Like, oh, it's funny.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
It's like it's it's so in your face of the
difference of how women can come across.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
We said this also we were talking with Justin off
the Yard. He's actually he knows a bit about Leanne
Morgan as a stand up comedian, but as an actress
in a sitcom. The first couple episodes are hard to
get through. I mean it's a little, like you said,
it's a little jarring. The laughter from the audience is,
we're not used to that in TV shows the way
(20:23):
we watch him nowadays. And this is a complete throwback,
from writing to production, to characters, to jokes, to pacing
to punchlines. It's a huge homage to the I don't know,
late eighties early nineties sitcoms that a lot of us
grew up on. So there was some that amount of
comfort to it. And as the as the show goes on,
(20:45):
there's sixteen episodes, which is unheard of for shows these days.
Leanne Morgan does a fan sheydastic flipping jaw.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
She's a great actress. I mean, she's playing it seems
like herself. Yeah, And that's why she's great at her
stand up, I think is because she is completely authentic.
She's one hundred and ten percent herself. She's comfortable in
her own skin, she's telling the stories she knows to
be true. It all works.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
She also has it because of her stand up, which,
by the way, you can see. She also has a
stand up special that you mentioned on Netflix called I'm
every Woman. I think there's one more that she has.
It's not on Netflix, but it's it's somewhere else. She
started not as a stand up comedian. She was selling jewelry.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Yeah, and she was going like door to door essentially,
like selling to other women. And then the women started
like hiring her because she was so hilarious all the
time for parties and things like that, and and the
ball got rolling.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Yeah, so good, good for her. We've also been trying
to get her.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Your friends do that to you when you stop by
and you've got a new Alan wrench or something to
show them, and they're like, you are so.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
Shunny, you should come by.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Are you for our poker party? Get the guys going
with some laughs?
Speaker 2 (21:58):
No?
Speaker 4 (21:58):
No, hire you for for like a wake labor awake. Yeah,
I don't.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
I don't want to be good at that. Oh, I
don't want to be good at You're really good at funerals,
I know, but I don't want to be good Okay.
There's a trio of trailers up on the website if
you go to KFI AM six forty dot com.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Slash Gary and Shannon. We have Marty Supreme. Have you
seen all of the ping pong movies that are available?
I think there's only one. It's called Balls of Fury.
This is a new ping pong movie called Marty Supreme.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
I've never heard of this said in the world of
nineteen fifties ping pong culture.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
He wants to he wants to be a ping pong champ.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Scarlett Johansson is in Eleanor the Great, which is we
have the trailer for, and then Thursday Murder Club on.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
I wanted to get into these books. They they're reviewed
wonderfully and I think I started reading one of them
and it was a little too maybe it's too close
to home. It was like people in a retirement home
solving crime. I think that's my issue with it. I
was like, I can see this in my future in
a couple of years.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
But everyone loves these books.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
I don't know how many there are now, but it
is getting the Netflix treatment and they say it's looking
like a much must watch murder mystery.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, Ben Kingsley and Celia Imria. That
is a cat Celia, but Helen Miron and Pierce Brosnen
were most recently in mob Land.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
Yeahbland, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
On paramount emotionally, how old do you feel emotionally?
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Yes, I don't know how to answer that.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
How old do you feel emotionally?
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Fifty two?
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Emotionally you're fifty two in your age, But emotionally, how old.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
Do you feel?
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Can't I feel that you can?
Speaker 1 (23:49):
That?
Speaker 2 (23:50):
I feel you can? Okay. Leo DiCaprio says he feels
thirty five.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
He's also about your age.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
He also feels twenty one year olds.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
Yeah, only that's it all right.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
When we come back, we'll hear from you the best
awful movies.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Oh. I found an emotional age test you can take.
Speaker 6 (24:12):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
There's like twenty more questions that wouldn't be six minutes.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Six minutes. That's forever.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
I guess we just won't know how old you are emotionally.
You were trending to be emotionally immature.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
You say it us lower because it sounded like you
said you.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Were trending in the direction I believe of being emotionally mature.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Which I do believe you are.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
I thought you said, inn sure, I don't think that
you would sleep with twenty one year olds like Leo
DiCaprio does.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
The Boys in the Band.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
Wait, what they'd have to be at least twenty five?
Speaker 9 (24:52):
The Boys in the Band is what Gary's going to
be in He's Alan McCarthy.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
Oh, nail it?
Speaker 2 (25:00):
No?
Speaker 4 (25:01):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Is it a war movie. It's not a war movie.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
It's about the after effects of war. Yes, huh, that
sounds depressing. No, no, no, it's very fun. Oh.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Okay, you know the you know, post World War Two,
everybody's trying to have fun, trying to get back into
the spirit of things. Yeah, you know, all the bad
stuff was done right, Okay, Roadhouse.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
New York Times, you'd have been really good at war.
You're good at compartmentalizing.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
Since the nineteen eighty nine movie, the original, the one
with Patrick Swayze, Is it Roadhouse?
Speaker 4 (25:44):
Are you in Roadhouse?
Speaker 2 (25:46):
No?
Speaker 3 (25:48):
Roger Ebert back in the day identified Roadhouse as expertly
walking a fine line. He wrote when he reviewed the movie,
he said, Roadhouse exists right on the edge. Betwe I
mean the good bad movie and the merely bad movie.
He said, I hesitate to recommend it because so much
depends on the ironic version of the viewer. This is
(26:10):
not a good movie, but viewed in the right frame
of mind, it's not a boring one either. I think
that's a great way to put I mean, there are
plenty of movies that we think of where it's really
not great, but there's something about it, whether it's a
specific actor, or the combination of a couple of actors,
(26:31):
or the setting, or there's something that makes it so
bad that it's good. So we wanted to know what
your favorite good bad movie was.
Speaker 9 (26:41):
All right, Garyan Shannon, you're looking for a movie that
you just can't turn away from. Yeah, that sucks, but
every time it's on you gotta watch it.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
One word and a Conda.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Ah, Jennifer Lopez, if I'm not mistaken, Anaconda, and that
it came off, came after a bunch of or came
with a bunch of sequels after that.
Speaker 4 (27:02):
Anna Conda. That's a blind spot for me.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Let's see Anaconda nineteen ninety seven, thirty years ago.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Yeah, am I right?
Speaker 3 (27:14):
That that's Jennifer A bunch of other It doesn't look
like her. Now, well that doesn't mean that's not hers.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Oh, it is Jennifer Lopez. Interesting, ice Cube was in that. Yeah,
Owen Wilson, Eric Stoltz, Danny Trejo, John Voight.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
That's it's quite the cast. Good morning, Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 10 (27:35):
So you're asking for the best bad movie ever. It's
very la It's called Blood.
Speaker 8 (27:40):
And Blood Out.
Speaker 10 (27:42):
The dubbing on it, there's an actor who apparently couldn't act,
so they had to like dub in his voice.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
There's like lines that is there an Estepez?
Speaker 10 (27:52):
There lines of lines and it's it's it's such a
great terrible movie.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
That's all I gotta say.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
Blood and Blood Out.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
You know gang banger movie. Bye.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
No, there's no Estevez that I could find. But there's
a Benjamin Bratt. Okay, there's a Ving Raims. Oh, there's
a Billy Bob Thornton.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Wow. Yeah, that's blood in Blood Out. That was a
new one to me.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Prison Drugs and Gang War Touched Three young Men in
East LA from the nineteen seventies of the nineteen nineties
came out in April of ninety three.
Speaker 9 (28:24):
Hey, Gary, Hey Shannon, it's Mike and the Iblund Empire. Hey,
I've got one. How about the Adventures of Buckaroo Bond's
Eye across the eighth Dimension. It's really I don't know,
it's I can't stop watching, And even though it's horrible,
every time I see it, I just have to stop.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
I like a train wreck and watch it happening unfold.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Peter Peter Weller, John Lithgow, Ellen Bark and Jeff Goldbloom,
Christopher Lloyd, among others.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
Nineteen eighty four.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
This film centers upon the efforts of the polymas doctor
Bukaroo Bang as physicist, neurosurgeon and test pilot and rock
star to save the world.
Speaker 5 (29:05):
Quite the resume, Hey, guys, really good subject on the
worst best movie, her best worst movie. Actually, what comes
to mind is the first Chainsaw Massacre. I mean, you know,
you can't put your eyes away from its corny as hell,
but it is a pretty good bad movie.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Thanks. I don't think I've ever seen the original Kiss
Meets the Phantom of the Park. Oh, the movie is horrible,
but so good.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
I've never heard of that, if I'm not mistaken. That
was filmed at Magic Mountain. Oh really, Kiss Meets the
Phantom of the Park known as the Attack of the
Phantoms Ah nineteen seventy eight.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Way back then, a mad scientist makes cartoon robots of
the rock group Kiss seen at a California concert.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
Oh sounds dark, Well it's of.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Course it is.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
And now look at the magic mountains come out smelling
like roses.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
This may be a really really recent one. But the
Minecraft movie, it's so terrible. But somehow I sat through
the whole thing. It was weird.
Speaker 4 (30:17):
I heard that about that.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Yeah, but if you if you're a child that likes Minecraft,
that's who it's for.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Jack Black, Jason Memoora.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Hi.
Speaker 8 (30:24):
The movie that I absolutely love, but it's a terrible
movie is Mystery Men. It's with Jennis Garoppolo, Ben Stiller,
Pelee Herman, everybody. It is just a great, funny, stupid movie.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
I've never heard of any of that. That's a good one.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
That's a nineteen ninety nine comedy action there.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
My wife hated me for making her go to see
that movie.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Hi, Gary, Hi Shannon.
Speaker 8 (30:52):
I would have to say Napoleon Dynamite.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Oh I like that one.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
Yeah, but it's a pretty bad movie. But it was good.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Yeah, bad for different reasons.
Speaker 4 (31:02):
Yeah, I like that, Oney, Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 11 (31:05):
If you are ever diagnosed with a terminal illness and
want to live forever. Watch Out of Africa with Meryl
Streep and Robert Redford, because that movie just seemingly goes
on forever.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
I've tried to watch that movie because I love Robert
Redford and it's it was a great.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
Movie, right like it was.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
It was long, but my god, it's it's I just
remember being slow going and I couldn't get into it.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
One of the movies that I loved and I haven't
seen it in a very long time is Shakes the
Clown with Bobcat Goldwaite.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
It sounds like a child bless situation.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
No no, no, no, no, no, not at all. Shakes the Clown.
Clowns come in different clicks and is it a documentary?
Speaker 2 (31:59):
No, it's not, but it's it's.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Every dueling gangs of clowns are pitted against each other
in this outrageous dark comedy. Shakes is an alcoholic kids
party clown aren't they all? Finds himself framed for murder
and must get off the sauce to clear his name.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
Bobcat Goldthwaite plays Shakes, Julie Brown is in it, Adam Sandler,
Blake Clark, Tom Kenny, Paul Dooley, Kathy Grifven, Robin Williams
is in it as Mi'm Jerry.
Speaker 4 (32:31):
It looks like a good time.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Henderson, the mom from the Brady Bunches in this thing.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
That is a That is one of those movies where
when when I watched it, I could not believe they
were getting away with some of the stuff got away
with that was Shakes the Clown, I totally forget.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
I haven't talked about that movie in a long time.
Ogury and Chen. Hey.
Speaker 9 (32:52):
Bad movie I re liked and is really bad is
Planned nine from Outer Space.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
I watched it every once in a while. It's horrible.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
That is uh, that is an old that's a nineteen
fifty seven movie.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Plan nine from Outer Space. That one I haven't seen.
Speaker 5 (33:07):
Roadhouse is the worst movie ever.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
That's funny, that's how we started. But you have to
watch when it comes on.
Speaker 5 (33:14):
I've actually hear him.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
More than got found it.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
I've tried to watch that origin come up.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Yeah, it's come up on the show and I've tried
to watch it, and I just you know, some things
live in that time that they came out. And if
you missed the boat, you miss the boat, right, It's
hard to go back and catch the boat thirty years later.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
It's funny that you mentioned ice Cube was in Anaconda
because his latest movie is on one of these lists.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
I chose not to ask him about this when he
was here because it had a zero percent rating on
Rotten Tomatoes.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
I didn't know anything about it when he was here,
and that's good because I probably would have.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
It's War of the Worlds.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
It's on Amazon, and ice Cube is in a fictional
DC told entirely through a screen courting of a government laptop.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Yeah, it's it looks bad.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
It's got awful reviews, and I decided to pretend it
never happened when he was here.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
You don't want to ruin your your idea of who
ice cubeiz.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Well, I just didn't want to bring it up that
week it had been lit up in the press.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
It's funny because I didn't see anything about it, or
I just assumed it was an ice Cube.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
I don't know it was.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
It was capturing headlines because it was zero percent Rotten tonight.
Speaker 4 (34:26):
It's like nobody that saw it.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
That was good. That's so great.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
