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 (00:09):
So you know it's time to find out what's happening.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
If you not time for what's happening, Elman, I love
just giving you a hard time just because we've worked
together a long time. That's the best part about live radio.
Stuff happens. And speaking of things which are happening in
and around the Southland.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
It's hot.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
What's happening is brought to you by Trajan Wealth. Trajan
Wealth is going to help you set and achieve your
financial goals for retirement, your local trusted financial Fiduciarytrajanwealth dot com.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
It's still hot.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
It's hot everywhere and that's one thing about working on
Burbank it's hot times. Ten Weather officials are advising southern
California residents, especially those who live away from the coast,
a significant warm up is on the way that's going
to last until the end of this week or at
least a work week, and per the National Weather Service
(01:04):
their Area forecast discussion, many areas across the region will
experience high temperatures triple digits that are five to ten
degrees above normal.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
And I don't know about you.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
As I get older, the less tolerant I am of
any swing in temperature. I don't mind the warmer weather,
but when you're talking about triple digits, that's way too
hot for me.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
And I like staying inside with the air conditioning.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Also, we talked earlier today at the top of the
show about the unfortunate, tragic events of what's happening not
only in Texas, but New Mexico, and part of the
discussion was FEMA's role and how a state may not
have enough resources in and of itself to handle some
(01:52):
of these disasters, and whether FEMA is involved or not,
they are usually other resources which are called in to play.
Remember how we had the fires here and we had
first responders coming in from Arizona, and I think even Utah,
I'm not mistaken. Other states were helping pitch in. This
is happening right now as SoCal has sent K nine teams.
(02:15):
Some members of the Los Angeles County Fire Department and
other departments are helping join in the search and recovery
efforts due to the catastrophic flooding in Texas.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
That's a great thing to read.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
It's unfortunate that it's happened, but it's great to know
that California is helping out where it can, and the
California Governor's Office of Emergency Services has deployed more than
a dozen urban search and rescue teams to help find
the remaining one hundred and sixty people believed to be
missing after that flooding has already killed more than one
(02:48):
hundred and ten people along the Guadalupe River in Central
Texas over the fourth of July.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
It's still a rescue.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Mission at this point, but soon, unfortunately, it will probably
transfer into a recovery mission as more and more time
goes by and they're not finding people or signs of life,
then it turns into a recovery mission, unfortunately. And here's
something else you don't hear too often about bank robberies,
(03:18):
if only because they're really difficult to pull off with
today's technology. The types of measures which are instituted and
implemented to make it real difficult to actually get any
real money from a bank. You would think would be
thieves would try something else, but they're still trying it,
and detectives are asking for the public's help and trying
(03:40):
to identify a man who used a note during two
separate bank robberies in Orange County recently. It doesn't detail
specifically when it happened or where it happened. They're holding
on to that information, but the Tustin Police Department said
on Facebook that the banks were located in the test
and Santa Ana areas.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Quote.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
During the incidents, the above photograph mail walked into the
banks and presented handwritten notes to the teller which indicated
he had a firearm clothes quote. And this goes back
to what I was saying just a few moments ago.
You don't hear about too many bank robberies because they're
usually not successful. And according to this, the subject failed
to steal any money in either instance. And one more
(04:27):
before we go to break, there's a man who's been
detained after a person was stabbed in fight near the
Walk of Fame and police have detained this person early
actually early this morning. LAPD spokesperson confirmed that officers were
dispatched to the area of Hollywood Boulevard and Las Palmas
Avenue around two am. When they arrived, they learned several
(04:47):
people were involved in a physical altercation and that an
unidentified man tried to break it up. The man was
then stabbed in the chest with a pocket knife. He
was rushed to a nearby hospital in unknown condition. And
I also wanted to mention because if you didn't see
on the KFI Keanu, is it also on the CAFI
website or just Gary and Shannon Instagram site for what
(05:08):
I'm sorry my training session with Michael Monks.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
Oh, it's on the or it's on the KFI instagram,
your Instagram and the garyan Channon instagram.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
If you go to any of those Instagram locations, you'll
see a short self defense demonstration about if someone were
to approach me, specifically me on a metro bus, train
or platform, how I would likely respond. And I was
saying earlier, not as a brag or boats, just as
a statement of fact, I usually carry a non lethal,
(05:37):
non metal weapon and how just about anything can be
used as a weapon, and just demonstrated some self defense tips.
And when I see something about a stabbing, there will
always be someone smart who was saying, like, yeah, the
martial arts don't work if someone has a gun. Let
me be very clear, you don't engage someone unless you
(05:58):
absolutely have to. Someone is going to assault you, you
defend yourself. If you can see that there's nothing in
their hands and they're trying to assault you, then protect yourself.
When I see a situation where a person is stabbed
near the Walk of Fame, my goal is always to
de escalate. I'm trying to walk away from everything. Almost
(06:19):
got into a situation the night of the fourth of
July outside my house. It was a drunk person who
came into the complex and he was mad about some
kids throwing firecrackers at him.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
He wanted to fight someone. You had to talk them
down off that ledge.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
But my point is, you know, safety always begins with
your decision making prior to an incident, not after you
get in a situation. Oh and I also got some
messages via Instagram who are wondering what martial art I take.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
It's hot keto.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
It's a career martial art hap ki d O, and
I've been taking it since I was fifteen. And if
you're curious or interested, and not only bring this up
because people were asking because of what they saw on Instagram.
In fact, I'll be teaching tonight. I'll be teaching, I'll
be helping teach out with my grandmaster instructor Sean mcclenn

better part of my life. Is called hop keto, a
Korean martial art, and it's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
It's the best decision I've made with my life as
far as just keeping myself in healthy working order. As
they get older, it's obviously much more physically difficult to do,
but I can move a little better than most fifty
five year olds, so will so It's hot Keto. You

Speaker 2 (10:43):
Got it all there.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
So if anything, just come and watch. You might be
interested for you or your child. Let's get back to
what's happening. I don't know what I would do in
this situation. I think I know what i'd do, but
it's something to think about. What if I told you
about out someone and it was you, and you were
receiving hundreds of Amazon packages mistakenly every.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Single day for more than a year. What would you do?
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Now, mind you, let's say nothing of the legitimate packages
that you have asked for.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
I have maybe four or five on the way to
my house.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Today, and what if you had to deal with the
ones that you did not order and they're huge, they're oversized,
and they're coming to your house and they're being put
on your doorstep. In other words, it's bringing unnecessary attention
all these big packages.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Well that's what happened to a San Jose woman, and.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
She would have these huge packages set on her doorstep
and each inside each package was a set of fake
leather car seat covers from a Chinese online seller, and
the Amazon listing advertises the brand selling seat covers supposedly
made to fit various makes and models of sedans and SUVs,
(11:58):
but in many of the cases the covers didn't fit
because it's a garbage company, and consumers said they were
forced to pay out a pocket to return them to
the company's return center. So not only were the products shoddy,
it was either a fake or a mistaken address or
a mistake in the address which was put as far
as returns, and they made the customers pay for the return,
(12:20):
so it seems like a sham company all the way around.
What happened is this woman's address was used as the
return address. So all these ill fitting seat covers were
showing up at this lady's doorstep. And according to the woman,
she says, they're just piling up in my garage and
she doesn't know what to do about it. I don't
know what you know what? I know what I would do.
(12:44):
I would have a garage sale and I'd put them
all on my lawn and try to make as much
money as possible just for my inconvenience. If you're going
to have my address and hopefully she's gotten to take
it down at this point, or the seller has been
removed from Amazon all together, Prime Days until the eleven
Amazon Prime until eleven.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Just in case big sales going on.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
I would hope that if you're not going to remove
my address from your online listing, that Amazon would step
in and just take down the seller all together. And
if I can't do that, then I'm just going to
resell all the product pennies on a dollar because she's
not paying out of her pocket, she's just being inconvenience
with all of this product being returned air quotes to
(13:28):
her and it's showing up at her door almost every
single day for more than a year. I would turn
it into my own little superstore, sell them all for
maybe fifteen to twenty dollars and make a killing and
then be paid for your pain.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
That's what I would do.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
It doesn't make sense to go through all the trouble
of trying to get it to the rightful owner and
try to get it back to the company because the
company obviously obviously is a sham and they're ripping people off,
and that even though they're sending people the product, they're
not sending people the right product or offering any way
legitimate way for people to refund their money.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
And that's what's happening.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Let's find out what we're watching, what we're all watching
when we come back at the bottom of the hour.
It's Gary and Shannon. I'm o Kelly and for Gary
and Shannon. Just on this Wednesday, kf I AM six
forty we are live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app and
be sure to check out that video on Instagram on
either KFI AM six forty or later with mo Kelly
or at mister Mokelly at Gary and.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Shannon, you'll be able to see it. Get to see
me beat up Michael Monks because we love them.
Speaker 6 (14:28):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
I'm Okelly in for Gary and Shannon and it's been
a pleasure sitting in for them. I'm quite sure Elma
will they both be back tomorrow. One of them be
back tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Shannon will be back tomorrow. Shann'll be back tomorrow. Okay, well,
it's it's their show.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
I'm going to keep it in good, good condition for them,
and you know, at this time, it's time to find
out what you're all watching.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
The following program is brought to you in living color,
but you're watching it now.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Americans love television. They win their kids.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
College USA television.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
You've got watching too many of those live television shows.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Kip knee or back pain.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
See if arch supports can help from the Good Feet Store.
Definitely check out the Good Feet Store. And there's some
new trailers each one I'm going to tell you about.
They're available right now at KFIAM six forty dot com,
the Gary and Shannon Show page, and also on their
Instagram at Gary and Shannon. If you're a fan of
(15:33):
The Adams Family or Wednesday, season one was a huge hit.
It's returning to Netflix soon for season two. The trailer
is out for Wednesday now. Me personally, Wednesday Adams and
Adams Family was not a thing for me. I was
not a big Adams Family fan, but I hear from
more and more people saying you gotta watch Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
You gotta watch Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
So this might be a time in which I could
take it up, watch season one and then go right
into season two that comes out.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
And also there's a new Cat and the Hack movie.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Which is going to be coming out, and it's going
to be coming out February twenty seventh, of twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
It's not soon, but it's still coming out.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
I was a kid who grew up on Doctor Seuss
you probably were two, And there is a trailer which
is now out. We have that up at kfiam six
forty dot com, keyboard Gary and Shannon and also on
the Gary and Shannon Instagram. And one more that we've
posted Sexy Aliens which will plan to storm Area fifty
(16:30):
one in a new documentary about extra extraterrestrial hoaxes. And
that's going to be a part of train Wreck Storm
Area fifty one, which is premiery July twenty ninth on Netflix.
And I have to say the train Wreck series on Netflix,
they're very, very good, and they're usually like an hour long.
(16:53):
They're not like a multi episode documentary where we have
to spend like maybe.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Five or six hours. You get it.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
All, it's usually a bridge and you get a good
sense of the story in just about an hour. In fact,
I just watched two of them this week on to
watch the third one tonight. If you remember the late
mayor Rob Ford from Toronto, the crazy mayor who got
caught smoking crack on video, Now that's Mayor Barry. That's
(17:19):
a different mayor, different politician. But no, no, no, we're
talking about Rob Ford. Hey, Toronto Mayor was a sensation,
came out of nowhere, and you could see how Rob
Ford kind of primed the pump for politics that we
see today. As far as you can see, you can
you can draw a comparison between Donald Trump and Rob Ford.
(17:41):
It's a great documentary. Train Wreck Mayor of Mayhem just
saw that about Rob Ford and his story, and you'll
see a lot of parallels to today's politics. Very good.
And also I wasn't into I'm not even presently. I'm
not into fashion. That's never been my thing. But I
think most people can remember the company at its peak,
(18:01):
American Apparel.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
They did all these solid colors and.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
They'd have these sexualized ads and are wild and crazy CEO.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
There is a train wreck.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
The cult of American apparel documentary that chronicles the rise
and fall of the cult clothing brand. It's really good
saw that as well, and for someone who worked in entertainment,
which is fashion adjacent, there were a lot of things
in it I did not know and highly appreciate. It
was well worth the time. Again, it's only like an
hour or so. It doesn't take forever. It's not multi episodes.
(18:35):
You don't have to spend multiple days with it. But
they come out maybe one a week, and since they're
only an hour, it's easier for them to put them out.
And in a way, it's kind of like true crime
meets Americana. Good stuff and if you're just in the
mood for some just general entertainment. I just saw The
(18:55):
Old Guard two on Netflix, stars Charlie Ston. Obviously, it's
a sequel to the first one. The first one was
a hit. The second one I liked it, didn't love it.
And let me just give you spoiler alert. There's a
cliffhanger at the end, setting it up for The Old
Guard three. Whether you're gonna stay around for the third
(19:16):
part of the trilogy, don't know, but it's entertaining enough,
has plenty of action if you know what the story
is about. Charlie Serone and her cadre of immortals. They're
walking through time, trying to change the world and make
it a better place, as they say, except there's some
(19:36):
stumbles and obstacles and villains they meet along the way.
It's a story which will seem pretty familiar, but there's
enough action to enjoy it. And let me just ask
real quick before we go to those last break and
get ready for John cobelt Elmer. Are you watching anything
specifically on Netflix? And if so, what are you watching.
I'm watching trashy reality TV and really.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
I'm so disapoint I'm looking at you judgmentally. I'm watching
To Go to the Edge on HBO, though not on Netflix.
I don't have it anymore.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Oh yes, kind of expensive so luxury. Yeah is Canada there, Keanna?
What are you watching right now?
Speaker 5 (20:13):
I'm currently watching Dan Diden on Netflix?
Speaker 2 (20:17):
And what's that about?
Speaker 5 (20:18):
Anime about the supernatural of both paranormal and aliens.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
See, you're a person after my own heart.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
After covering all the news and everything, I'll watch documentaries,
but I'm not trying to look at anything contemporary.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
I'd need escapism.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
I need to take me to a time that used
to be, or tell me about something that I knew
about and maybe live through fifteen twenty years ago. I
need future. I love aliens. If you have aliens in it,
I'm all there. Paranormal, That's that's my jam. But I'm
not trying to find anything serious. I need some escapism.
So Canada, you are right there with.
Speaker 7 (20:55):
Me, glad to be.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Is there anything that you've seen recent that you would recommend?
You know what?
Speaker 5 (21:03):
I haven't seen anything like new that I would recommend.
Speaker 7 (21:08):
I've been reading a lot more.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
What is that I know?
Speaker 7 (21:12):
Right, I'm just trying to stacks.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
For pleasure, not not news, but for wow.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
Yeah, just like fantasy books I need. That's kind of
my escape right now. I'm trying to stay away from screens.
It's an anti what you're watching Wednesday, but I am
watching that one anime on Netflix. So unfortunately I have
no recommendations today. If you want a book recommendation, fortunately we.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Don't need no stinking book recommendations. It's not book club.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
People don't read anymore, don't Debora Mark doesn't even read anymore?
Speaker 8 (21:47):
Do you read hardly?
Speaker 6 (21:48):
Ever?
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Told you she's a woman after my own.
Speaker 9 (21:51):
He used to I used to read a lot, but
now I just sit in front of the TV, which
is probably not good for my brain.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
I cannot criticize anyone because for me, reading for entertainment
or pleasure is very hard for me to do, if
only because devoting time to sitting in one physical place
for hours at a time. I can't even do that
with TV. And part of it is because my life
is pulled in so many directions. It's hard for me
(22:20):
to sit still that long. I don't have ADHD or
anything like that. It's just I just don't commit that
much time to anything in one physical place.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
So I get it.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Deborah Mark, we need to talk about a cruise or
two before we get out of here, very quickly, just
letting you know we're going on the cruise. I don't
know if you heard on my show we were talking
about my wife and I are going on the cruise.
We're going to fly into Rome, spend four days in Rome.
Then we're going to get on a Mediterranean cruise. We've
done it, but it's slightly different. We're going to Turkey,
(22:51):
Greece and some other places.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
And cannot wait.
Speaker 8 (22:55):
I'm so jealous.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Well, are you're gonna be vacationing soon?
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (22:58):
I know, but I'm not going on a cruise. I
love going on cruises, have you. I know I've asked
you this before, but so are you going on one
of those big cruises or are you going on a
river cruise?
Speaker 3 (23:09):
A big cruises? Uh? My wife is we're hit and miss.
It's like we don't want to be on a ship
with three thousand other people, but we're going to be
on a ship with three thousand other people.
Speaker 9 (23:18):
Okay, you promise me, because you and I have had
this conversation before.
Speaker 8 (23:22):
You need to do a river cruise before you die.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
From your lips to God's ears. Okay, you know I
don't know what you want to call home?
Speaker 8 (23:32):
Well, man, you better that should be your next strip.
I'm serious. There's something really special about river cruise.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
I hear that they are great. I heard Viking Cruises
is very good.
Speaker 9 (23:40):
I haven't done Viking. I did an Amah and Avalon
many years ago.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Mm hmm, yeah, I don't know which one. I heard
Virgin is also very good. Those are one of the
large cruise lines. But it's all about the destination and
time of year, which are really important.
Speaker 9 (23:55):
Absolutely, But I don't like I mean personally because I've
I've done a lot of the big, big ships and
I don't I don't love being around that many people.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
I'm with you, I'm with you, and we're going Royal Caribbean,
but I don't have a desire to be on the
biggest ships. Yet has the most demnium amenities. But they
have the most a holes, they have the most things
you have to deal with them.
Speaker 8 (24:16):
Yeah, very true. But Royal Caribbean is nice. I've been.
Speaker 9 (24:19):
I've been on a Royal Caribbean ship and it was
a Central Park theme one that I was on.
Speaker 8 (24:25):
Really really really cool. Yeah, many years ago.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Ya. Just don't too Carnival whatever you do.
Speaker 8 (24:30):
I've never done Carnival.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
You haven't missed anything. It's like going to the dentist
to have five teeth pulled.
Speaker 8 (24:35):
Oh sounds like fun.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Not Garyan Shannon Show, O Kelly and for Gary and
Shannon Kim six forty left everywhere in my Heart radio app.
Speaker 6 (24:43):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
But before we get to John, I have to say
is again thank you to Gary and Shannon for the
opportunity to sit in for them.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Shannon will be back tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
I'm told it's always fun to do a different day
part because you get to talk about different stories, different subjects.
It's a different energy, different audience and many aspects. It's
just fun all the way around. And Chris Merrill will
be in for me tonight from seven to ten pm.
So that show is Lady with mokel is going to
sound a little bit different. And you know, caf I
(25:21):
always has a great lineup. But before we go, we
were going to finish up watching Wednesday. What you're watching Wednesday?
And I'm I'm a throwback in some regard. I still
have a small need and appreciation of broadcast television. I
cannot get enough of the Chicago TV shows, especially Chicago
(25:42):
p D, Chicago p D or Law and Order, you
know the Dick Wolf shows, Law and Order SVU, Law
and Order Organized Crime. I'm watching that on Peacock. All
those shows are just great.
Speaker 5 (25:56):
I finally finished Law and Order SVU. I'm finally caught
up from C one to what season twenty six five?
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Don't ask me how I know that twenty five.
Speaker 7 (26:05):
Yes, but it feels like a very good accomplishment.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
I've seen the beauty of the Dick Wolf shows in general.
Be a Law and Order SVU criminal intent they are. Yes,
it's episodic and formulae, but it's told where it's not dated.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
For the most part, you don't.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
The crime is the crime, and it could have happened
in any time, and the dates that they tell you
in the show is just the month and day. They
don't tell you the year, so you could start episode one,
season one tomorrow and it won't necessarily feel like it
was twenty four seasons ago or twenty four years ago.
However long ago, it still seems pretty contemporary, doesn't it.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
I guess?
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Sorry? Yes, Okay, well, congratulations. I've seen every Law and
Order I think, No, with exception of this last season.
I have like maybe four more episodes in my DVR.
I've seen every episode of Lawn Order SVU, which is
step two, are in my DVR. And I've seen everyone
of Organized Crime through its first five seasons. They moved
(27:10):
that off of NBC to Peacock, but there's an upside
to that. When they moved it to Peacock, they turned
it into an R rated show where they have more violence,
more cussing, and that just makes it up a better show.
When you're talking about a police procedural and danger you want.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Them to talk like normal people.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Want to talk like normal cops and people were doing
dangerous jobs. So the profanity is a nice added effect.
But yeah, I love the Chicago shows, but broadcast TV
it's real difficult for them to keep up for the
reasons I just said. They can't do the same things
as you can on streaming. You know, you can't have
(27:50):
the profanity in certain aspects, you can't have the nudity,
you can't even have the type of discussions or subject matter.
Sometimes you're just allowed to do so much more on streaming.
And if you're one of the people still have cable,
God bless you cable as well. So it's hard to
find a show on broadcast television that I'm willing to
(28:11):
stick with. And here's something else. They will cancel a
show on broadcast television and heartbeat, it'll be five or
six episodes in canceled it you want to make it
to season two. So it's hard to emotionally buy into
a lot of those shows because you don't know whether
they're actually going to be around for another season and
(28:32):
what I usually do, and this to like Keanna's point,
the best part about streaming is there's a show like
Maybe Stranger Things on Netflix.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
I didn't even get.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Into that till season three, and I wanted to know
that the show is going to be around, so I
waited to the third season and then I finally got
involved and watched it from the beginning. A show Ozark,
I watched that from the beginning. I think it was
season three succession, same thing, and I had a much
more enjoyable experience because I was able to binge it
(29:01):
and see episode episode episode after episode where it felt
like one continuous story and a story arc that it
was very memorable, as opposed to watching one episode per
week that is boring, That is really really that's not
the best way to consume media. So whenever I have
the opportunity to binge a show, it's hopefully a show
(29:23):
that's been around for a while, and I can do
multiple seasons, and then I much more appreciate. I remember
when the pandemic started, what was the Game of Thrones.
I watched Game of Thrones from the beginning, first episode
and binge all seven or whatever seasons over the course
of three weeks. Now, don't get me wrong, I had
(29:45):
an s load amount of time on my hands, but
it made for a much more enjoyable experience than if
I were to watch it every week on HBO. And
that's I think the best part about streaming. It gives
you an opportunity and many instances. Even with the new show,
they'll drop two or three episodes at the same time.
That's the way to watch a lot of these shows
(30:08):
and best enjoy them. I've enjoyed my time here with you.
I'll be back on my show later with Mo Kelly
on a Thursday. And coming up next, as you know,
is the inimitable John coblt The John Covelt Show, So
we'll see you soon. It's a Gary and Shannon show.
I'm O kellykfi AM six forty We are live everywhere
in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
You've been listening to the Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 4 (30:32):
You can always hear us live on KFIAM 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 (00:09):
So you know it's time to find out what's happening.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
If you not time for what's happening, Elman, I love
just giving you a hard time just because we've worked
together a long time. That's the best part about live radio.
Stuff happens. And speaking of things which are happening in
and around the Southland.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
It's hot.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
What's happening is brought to you by Trajan Wealth. Trajan
Wealth is going to help you set and achieve your
financial goals for retirement, your local trusted financial Fiduciarytrajanwealth dot com.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
It's still hot.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
It's hot everywhere and that's one thing about working on
Burbank it's hot times. Ten Weather officials are advising southern
California residents, especially those who live away from the coast,
a significant warm up is on the way that's going
to last until the end of this week or at
least a work week, and per the National Weather Service
(01:04):
their Area forecast discussion, many areas across the region will
experience high temperatures triple digits that are five to ten
degrees above normal.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
And I don't know about you.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
As I get older, the less tolerant I am of
any swing in temperature. I don't mind the warmer weather,
but when you're talking about triple digits, that's way too
hot for me.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
And I like staying inside with the air conditioning.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Also, we talked earlier today at the top of the
show about the unfortunate, tragic events of what's happening not
only in Texas, but New Mexico, and part of the
discussion was FEMA's role and how a state may not
have enough resources in and of itself to handle some
(01:52):
of these disasters, and whether FEMA is involved or not,
they are usually other resources which are called in to play.
Remember how we had the fires here and we had
first responders coming in from Arizona, and I think even Utah,
I'm not mistaken. Other states were helping pitch in. This
is happening right now as SoCal has sent K nine teams.
(02:15):
Some members of the Los Angeles County Fire Department and
other departments are helping join in the search and recovery
efforts due to the catastrophic flooding in Texas.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
That's a great thing to read.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
It's unfortunate that it's happened, but it's great to know
that California is helping out where it can, and the
California Governor's Office of Emergency Services has deployed more than
a dozen urban search and rescue teams to help find
the remaining one hundred and sixty people believed to be
missing after that flooding has already killed more than one
(02:48):
hundred and ten people along the Guadalupe River in Central
Texas over the fourth of July.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
It's still a rescue.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Mission at this point, but soon, unfortunately, it will probably
transfer into a recovery mission as more and more time
goes by and they're not finding people or signs of life,
then it turns into a recovery mission, unfortunately. And here's
something else you don't hear too often about bank robberies,
(03:18):
if only because they're really difficult to pull off with
today's technology. The types of measures which are instituted and
implemented to make it real difficult to actually get any
real money from a bank. You would think would be
thieves would try something else, but they're still trying it,
and detectives are asking for the public's help and trying
(03:40):
to identify a man who used a note during two
separate bank robberies in Orange County recently. It doesn't detail
specifically when it happened or where it happened. They're holding
on to that information, but the Tustin Police Department said
on Facebook that the banks were located in the test
and Santa Ana areas.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Quote.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
During the incidents, the above photograph mail walked into the
banks and presented handwritten notes to the teller which indicated
he had a firearm clothes quote. And this goes back
to what I was saying just a few moments ago.
You don't hear about too many bank robberies because they're
usually not successful. And according to this, the subject failed
to steal any money in either instance. And one more
(04:27):
before we go to break, there's a man who's been
detained after a person was stabbed in fight near the
Walk of Fame and police have detained this person early
actually early this morning. LAPD spokesperson confirmed that officers were
dispatched to the area of Hollywood Boulevard and Las Palmas
Avenue around two am. When they arrived, they learned several
(04:47):
people were involved in a physical altercation and that an
unidentified man tried to break it up. The man was
then stabbed in the chest with a pocket knife. He
was rushed to a nearby hospital in unknown condition. And
I also wanted to mention because if you didn't see
on the KFI Keanu, is it also on the CAFI
website or just Gary and Shannon Instagram site for what
(05:08):
I'm sorry my training session with Michael Monks.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
Oh, it's on the or it's on the KFI instagram,
your Instagram and the garyan Channon instagram.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
If you go to any of those Instagram locations, you'll
see a short self defense demonstration about if someone were
to approach me, specifically me on a metro bus, train
or platform, how I would likely respond. And I was
saying earlier, not as a brag or boats, just as
a statement of fact, I usually carry a non lethal,
(05:37):
non metal weapon and how just about anything can be
used as a weapon, and just demonstrated some self defense tips.
And when I see something about a stabbing, there will
always be someone smart who was saying, like, yeah, the
martial arts don't work if someone has a gun. Let
me be very clear, you don't engage someone unless you
(05:58):
absolutely have to. Someone is going to assault you, you
defend yourself. If you can see that there's nothing in
their hands and they're trying to assault you, then protect yourself.
When I see a situation where a person is stabbed
near the Walk of Fame, my goal is always to
de escalate. I'm trying to walk away from everything. Almost
(06:19):
got into a situation the night of the fourth of
July outside my house. It was a drunk person who
came into the complex and he was mad about some
kids throwing firecrackers at him.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
He wanted to fight someone. You had to talk them
down off that ledge.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
But my point is, you know, safety always begins with
your decision making prior to an incident, not after you
get in a situation. Oh and I also got some
messages via Instagram who are wondering what martial art I take.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
It's hot keto.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
It's a career martial art hap ki d O, and
I've been taking it since I was fifteen. And if
you're curious or interested, and not only bring this up
because people were asking because of what they saw on Instagram.
In fact, I'll be teaching tonight. I'll be teaching, I'll
be helping teach out with my grandmaster instructor Sean mcclenn
at five o'clock, six o'clock, and seven o'clock classes.

better part of my life. Is called hop keto, a
Korean martial art, and it's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
It's the best decision I've made with my life as
far as just keeping myself in healthy working order. As

but I can move a little better than most fifty
five year olds, so will so It's hot Keto. You

Speaker 2 (10:43):
Got it all there.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
So if anything, just come and watch. You might be
interested for you or your child. Let's get back to
what's happening. I don't know what I would do in
this situation. I think I know what i'd do, but
it's something to think about. What if I told you
about out someone and it was you, and you were
receiving hundreds of Amazon packages mistakenly every.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Single day for more than a year. What would you do?
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Now, mind you, let's say nothing of the legitimate packages
that you have asked for.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
I have maybe four or five on the way to
my house.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Today, and what if you had to deal with the
ones that you did not order and they're huge, they're oversized,
and they're coming to your house and they're being put
on your doorstep. In other words, it's bringing unnecessary attention
all these big packages.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Well that's what happened to a San Jose woman, and.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
She would have these huge packages set on her doorstep
and each inside each package was a set of fake
leather car seat covers from a Chinese online seller, and
the Amazon listing advertises the brand selling seat covers supposedly
made to fit various makes and models of sedans and SUVs,
(11:58):
but in many of the cases the covers didn't fit
because it's a garbage company, and consumers said they were
forced to pay out a pocket to return them to
the company's return center. So not only were the products shoddy,
it was either a fake or a mistaken address or
a mistake in the address which was put as far
as returns, and they made the customers pay for the return,
(12:20):
so it seems like a sham company all the way around.
What happened is this woman's address was used as the
return address. So all these ill fitting seat covers were
showing up at this lady's doorstep. And according to the woman,
she says, they're just piling up in my garage and
she doesn't know what to do about it. I don't
know what you know what? I know what I would do.
(12:44):
I would have a garage sale and I'd put them
all on my lawn and try to make as much
money as possible just for my inconvenience. If you're going
to have my address and hopefully she's gotten to take
it down at this point, or the seller has been
removed from Amazon all together, Prime Days until the eleven
Amazon Prime until eleven.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Just in case big sales going on.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
I would hope that if you're not going to remove
my address from your online listing, that Amazon would step
in and just take down the seller all together. And
if I can't do that, then I'm just going to
resell all the product pennies on a dollar because she's
not paying out of her pocket, she's just being inconvenience
with all of this product being returned air quotes to
(13:28):
her and it's showing up at her door almost every
single day for more than a year. I would turn
it into my own little superstore, sell them all for
maybe fifteen to twenty dollars and make a killing and
then be paid for your pain.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
That's what I would do.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
It doesn't make sense to go through all the trouble
of trying to get it to the rightful owner and
try to get it back to the company because the
company obviously obviously is a sham and they're ripping people off,
and that even though they're sending people the product, they're
not sending people the right product or offering any way
legitimate way for people to refund their money.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
And that's what's happening.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Let's find out what we're watching, what we're all watching
when we come back at the bottom of the hour.
It's Gary and Shannon. I'm o Kelly and for Gary
and Shannon. Just on this Wednesday, kf I AM six
forty we are live everywhere in the iHeartRadio app and
be sure to check out that video on Instagram on
either KFI AM six forty or later with mo Kelly
or at mister Mokelly at Gary and.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Shannon, you'll be able to see it. Get to see
me beat up Michael Monks because we love them.
Speaker 6 (14:28):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
I'm Okelly in for Gary and Shannon and it's been
a pleasure sitting in for them. I'm quite sure Elma
will they both be back tomorrow. One of them be
back tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Shannon will be back tomorrow. Shann'll be back tomorrow. Okay, well,
it's it's their show.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
I'm going to keep it in good, good condition for them,
and you know, at this time, it's time to find
out what you're all watching.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
The following program is brought to you in living color,
but you're watching it now.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Americans love television. They win their kids.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
College USA television.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
You've got watching too many of those live television shows.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Kip knee or back pain.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
See if arch supports can help from the Good Feet Store.
Definitely check out the Good Feet Store. And there's some
new trailers each one I'm going to tell you about.
They're available right now at KFIAM six forty dot com,
the Gary and Shannon Show page, and also on their
Instagram at Gary and Shannon. If you're a fan of
(15:33):
The Adams Family or Wednesday, season one was a huge hit.
It's returning to Netflix soon for season two. The trailer
is out for Wednesday now. Me personally, Wednesday Adams and
Adams Family was not a thing for me. I was
not a big Adams Family fan, but I hear from
more and more people saying you gotta watch Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
You gotta watch Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
So this might be a time in which I could
take it up, watch season one and then go right
into season two that comes out.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
And also there's a new Cat and the Hack movie.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Which is going to be coming out, and it's going
to be coming out February twenty seventh, of twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
It's not soon, but it's still coming out.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
I was a kid who grew up on Doctor Seuss
you probably were two, And there is a trailer which
is now out. We have that up at kfiam six
forty dot com, keyboard Gary and Shannon and also on
the Gary and Shannon Instagram. And one more that we've
posted Sexy Aliens which will plan to storm Area fifty
(16:30):
one in a new documentary about extra extraterrestrial hoaxes. And
that's going to be a part of train Wreck Storm
Area fifty one, which is premiery July twenty ninth on Netflix.
And I have to say the train Wreck series on Netflix,
they're very, very good, and they're usually like an hour long.
(16:53):
They're not like a multi episode documentary where we have
to spend like maybe.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Five or six hours. You get it.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
All, it's usually a bridge and you get a good
sense of the story in just about an hour. In fact,
I just watched two of them this week on to
watch the third one tonight. If you remember the late
mayor Rob Ford from Toronto, the crazy mayor who got
caught smoking crack on video, Now that's Mayor Barry. That's
(17:19):
a different mayor, different politician. But no, no, no, we're
talking about Rob Ford. Hey, Toronto Mayor was a sensation,
came out of nowhere, and you could see how Rob
Ford kind of primed the pump for politics that we
see today. As far as you can see, you can
you can draw a comparison between Donald Trump and Rob Ford.
(17:41):
It's a great documentary. Train Wreck Mayor of Mayhem just
saw that about Rob Ford and his story, and you'll
see a lot of parallels to today's politics. Very good.
And also I wasn't into I'm not even presently. I'm
not into fashion. That's never been my thing. But I
think most people can remember the company at its peak,
(18:01):
American Apparel.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
They did all these solid colors and.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
They'd have these sexualized ads and are wild and crazy CEO.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
There is a train wreck.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
The cult of American apparel documentary that chronicles the rise
and fall of the cult clothing brand. It's really good
saw that as well, and for someone who worked in entertainment,
which is fashion adjacent, there were a lot of things
in it I did not know and highly appreciate. It
was well worth the time. Again, it's only like an
hour or so. It doesn't take forever. It's not multi episodes.
(18:35):
You don't have to spend multiple days with it. But
they come out maybe one a week, and since they're
only an hour, it's easier for them to put them out.
And in a way, it's kind of like true crime
meets Americana. Good stuff and if you're just in the
mood for some just general entertainment. I just saw The
(18:55):
Old Guard two on Netflix, stars Charlie Ston. Obviously, it's
a sequel to the first one. The first one was
a hit. The second one I liked it, didn't love it.
And let me just give you spoiler alert. There's a
cliffhanger at the end, setting it up for The Old
Guard three. Whether you're gonna stay around for the third
(19:16):
part of the trilogy, don't know, but it's entertaining enough,
has plenty of action if you know what the story
is about. Charlie Serone and her cadre of immortals. They're
walking through time, trying to change the world and make
it a better place, as they say, except there's some
(19:36):
stumbles and obstacles and villains they meet along the way.
It's a story which will seem pretty familiar, but there's
enough action to enjoy it. And let me just ask
real quick before we go to those last break and
get ready for John cobelt Elmer. Are you watching anything
specifically on Netflix? And if so, what are you watching.
I'm watching trashy reality TV and really.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
I'm so disapoint I'm looking at you judgmentally. I'm watching
To Go to the Edge on HBO, though not on Netflix.
I don't have it anymore.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Oh yes, kind of expensive so luxury. Yeah is Canada there, Keanna?
What are you watching right now?
Speaker 5 (20:13):
I'm currently watching Dan Diden on Netflix?
Speaker 2 (20:17):
And what's that about?
Speaker 5 (20:18):
Anime about the supernatural of both paranormal and aliens.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
See, you're a person after my own heart.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
After covering all the news and everything, I'll watch documentaries,
but I'm not trying to look at anything contemporary.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
I'd need escapism.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
I need to take me to a time that used
to be, or tell me about something that I knew
about and maybe live through fifteen twenty years ago. I
need future. I love aliens. If you have aliens in it,
I'm all there. Paranormal, That's that's my jam. But I'm
not trying to find anything serious. I need some escapism.
So Canada, you are right there with.
Speaker 7 (20:55):
Me, glad to be.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Is there anything that you've seen recent that you would recommend?
You know what?
Speaker 5 (21:03):
I haven't seen anything like new that I would recommend.
Speaker 7 (21:08):
I've been reading a lot more.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
What is that I know?
Speaker 7 (21:12):
Right, I'm just trying to stacks.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
For pleasure, not not news, but for wow.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
Yeah, just like fantasy books I need. That's kind of
my escape right now. I'm trying to stay away from screens.
It's an anti what you're watching Wednesday, but I am
watching that one anime on Netflix. So unfortunately I have
no recommendations today. If you want a book recommendation, fortunately we.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Don't need no stinking book recommendations. It's not book club.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
People don't read anymore, don't Debora Mark doesn't even read anymore?
Speaker 8 (21:47):
Do you read hardly?
Speaker 6 (21:48):
Ever?
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Told you she's a woman after my own.
Speaker 9 (21:51):
He used to I used to read a lot, but
now I just sit in front of the TV, which
is probably not good for my brain.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
I cannot criticize anyone because for me, reading for entertainment
or pleasure is very hard for me to do, if
only because devoting time to sitting in one physical place
for hours at a time. I can't even do that
with TV. And part of it is because my life
is pulled in so many directions. It's hard for me
(22:20):
to sit still that long. I don't have ADHD or
anything like that. It's just I just don't commit that
much time to anything in one physical place.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
So I get it.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Deborah Mark, we need to talk about a cruise or
two before we get out of here, very quickly, just
letting you know we're going on the cruise. I don't
know if you heard on my show we were talking
about my wife and I are going on the cruise.
We're going to fly into Rome, spend four days in Rome.
Then we're going to get on a Mediterranean cruise. We've
done it, but it's slightly different. We're going to Turkey,
(22:51):
Greece and some other places.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
And cannot wait.
Speaker 8 (22:55):
I'm so jealous.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Well, are you're gonna be vacationing soon?
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (22:58):
I know, but I'm not going on a cruise. I
love going on cruises, have you. I know I've asked
you this before, but so are you going on one
of those big cruises or are you going on a
river cruise?
Speaker 3 (23:09):
A big cruises? Uh? My wife is we're hit and miss.
It's like we don't want to be on a ship
with three thousand other people, but we're going to be
on a ship with three thousand other people.
Speaker 9 (23:18):
Okay, you promise me, because you and I have had
this conversation before.
Speaker 8 (23:22):
You need to do a river cruise before you die.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
From your lips to God's ears. Okay, you know I
don't know what you want to call home?
Speaker 8 (23:32):
Well, man, you better that should be your next strip.
I'm serious. There's something really special about river cruise.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
I hear that they are great. I heard Viking Cruises
is very good.
Speaker 9 (23:40):
I haven't done Viking. I did an Amah and Avalon
many years ago.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Mm hmm, yeah, I don't know which one. I heard
Virgin is also very good. Those are one of the
large cruise lines. But it's all about the destination and
time of year, which are really important.
Speaker 9 (23:55):
Absolutely, But I don't like I mean personally because I've
I've done a lot of the big, big ships and
I don't I don't love being around that many people.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
I'm with you, I'm with you, and we're going Royal Caribbean,
but I don't have a desire to be on the
biggest ships. Yet has the most demnium amenities. But they
have the most a holes, they have the most things
you have to deal with them.
Speaker 8 (24:16):
Yeah, very true. But Royal Caribbean is nice. I've been.
Speaker 9 (24:19):
I've been on a Royal Caribbean ship and it was
a Central Park theme one that I was on.
Speaker 8 (24:25):
Really really really cool. Yeah, many years ago.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Ya. Just don't too Carnival whatever you do.
Speaker 8 (24:30):
I've never done Carnival.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
You haven't missed anything. It's like going to the dentist
to have five teeth pulled.
Speaker 8 (24:35):
Oh sounds like fun.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Not Garyan Shannon Show, O Kelly and for Gary and
Shannon Kim six forty left everywhere in my Heart radio app.
Speaker 6 (24:43):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
But before we get to John, I have to say
is again thank you to Gary and Shannon for the
opportunity to sit in for them.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Shannon will be back tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
I'm told it's always fun to do a different day
part because you get to talk about different stories, different subjects.
It's a different energy, different audience and many aspects. It's
just fun all the way around. And Chris Merrill will
be in for me tonight from seven to ten pm.
So that show is Lady with mokel is going to
sound a little bit different. And you know, caf I
(25:21):
always has a great lineup. But before we go, we
were going to finish up watching Wednesday. What you're watching Wednesday?
And I'm I'm a throwback in some regard. I still
have a small need and appreciation of broadcast television. I
cannot get enough of the Chicago TV shows, especially Chicago
(25:42):
p D, Chicago p D or Law and Order, you
know the Dick Wolf shows, Law and Order SVU, Law
and Order Organized Crime. I'm watching that on Peacock. All
those shows are just great.
Speaker 5 (25:56):
I finally finished Law and Order SVU. I'm finally caught
up from C one to what season twenty six five?
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Don't ask me how I know that twenty five.
Speaker 7 (26:05):
Yes, but it feels like a very good accomplishment.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
I've seen the beauty of the Dick Wolf shows in general.
Be a Law and Order SVU criminal intent they are. Yes,
it's episodic and formulae, but it's told where it's not dated.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
For the most part, you don't.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
The crime is the crime, and it could have happened
in any time, and the dates that they tell you
in the show is just the month and day. They
don't tell you the year, so you could start episode one,
season one tomorrow and it won't necessarily feel like it
was twenty four seasons ago or twenty four years ago.
However long ago, it still seems pretty contemporary, doesn't it.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
I guess?
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Sorry? Yes, Okay, well, congratulations. I've seen every Law and
Order I think, No, with exception of this last season.
I have like maybe four more episodes in my DVR.
I've seen every episode of Lawn Order SVU, which is
step two, are in my DVR. And I've seen everyone
of Organized Crime through its first five seasons. They moved
(27:10):
that off of NBC to Peacock, but there's an upside
to that. When they moved it to Peacock, they turned
it into an R rated show where they have more violence,
more cussing, and that just makes it up a better show.
When you're talking about a police procedural and danger you want.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Them to talk like normal people.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Want to talk like normal cops and people were doing
dangerous jobs. So the profanity is a nice added effect.
But yeah, I love the Chicago shows, but broadcast TV
it's real difficult for them to keep up for the
reasons I just said. They can't do the same things
as you can on streaming. You know, you can't have
(27:50):
the profanity in certain aspects, you can't have the nudity,
you can't even have the type of discussions or subject matter.
Sometimes you're just allowed to do so much more on streaming.
And if you're one of the people still have cable,
God bless you cable as well. So it's hard to
find a show on broadcast television that I'm willing to
(28:11):
stick with. And here's something else. They will cancel a
show on broadcast television and heartbeat, it'll be five or
six episodes in canceled it you want to make it
to season two. So it's hard to emotionally buy into
a lot of those shows because you don't know whether
they're actually going to be around for another season and
(28:32):
what I usually do, and this to like Keanna's point,
the best part about streaming is there's a show like
Maybe Stranger Things on Netflix.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
I didn't even get.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Into that till season three, and I wanted to know
that the show is going to be around, so I
waited to the third season and then I finally got
involved and watched it from the beginning. A show Ozark,
I watched that from the beginning. I think it was
season three succession, same thing, and I had a much
more enjoyable experience because I was able to binge it
(29:01):
and see episode episode episode after episode where it felt
like one continuous story and a story arc that it
was very memorable, as opposed to watching one episode per
week that is boring, That is really really that's not
the best way to consume media. So whenever I have
the opportunity to binge a show, it's hopefully a show
(29:23):
that's been around for a while, and I can do
multiple seasons, and then I much more appreciate. I remember
when the pandemic started, what was the Game of Thrones.
I watched Game of Thrones from the beginning, first episode
and binge all seven or whatever seasons over the course
of three weeks. Now, don't get me wrong, I had
(29:45):
an s load amount of time on my hands, but
it made for a much more enjoyable experience than if
I were to watch it every week on HBO. And
that's I think the best part about streaming. It gives
you an opportunity and many instances. Even with the new show,
they'll drop two or three episodes at the same time.
That's the way to watch a lot of these shows
(30:08):
and best enjoy them. I've enjoyed my time here with you.
I'll be back on my show later with Mo Kelly
on a Thursday. And coming up next, as you know,
is the inimitable John coblt The John Covelt Show, So
we'll see you soon. It's a Gary and Shannon show.
