Speaker 5 (03:33):
No.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
One of the things I want to talk about a
lot of the conversation in the Hollywood the last few
days has been about this merger. Warner Brothers Discovery is
to be eaten by Netflix in a deal worth eighty
two billion dollars. Netflix will take over Warner Brothers Discovery,
not the entire company. That's very important, but it essentially
(03:58):
will combine the number one in the number three free
streamer for a mega company. If it indeed happens. Here's
some background, and then we'll talk about it.
Speaker 6 (04:07):
For Superman Home could soon be. Netflix has established franchise
powerhouses like Harry Potter, You're a Wizard, Harry, and Batman.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
I've seen now would have to become.
Speaker 6 (04:19):
Join modern media marvels like Stranger Things and K Pop
Demon Hunters under one mega Hollywood heavyweight, Netflix co CEO
Ted Sarandos announcing today that the streamer will buy Warner
Brothers studios HBO, Max and HBO and a deal valued
at nearly eighty three billion dollars.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
In a world where people have so many choices, more
choices than ever, how to spend their time, we can't
stand still.
Speaker 7 (04:43):
We need to keep innovating and investing in stories that
matter most to audiences.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
Warner Brothers ward accepting the offer, which beat out competition
from NBC parent company Comcast and David Ellison's paramount Skydance.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
The deal, which we'll.
Speaker 6 (04:57):
See linear cable channels like Discovery and CNN spun off
from Warner Brothers, is expected to take twelve to eighteen
months to close and will face several regulatory hurdles.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
So many regulatory hurdles if it even happens.
Speaker 6 (05:12):
Tonight, top Hollywood associations raising concerns, the Writers Guild calling
the deal what antitrust laws were designed to prevent.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Talent has understandably concerned that this is going to mean
fewer buyers and fewer opportunities.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Yeah, because if you have a show and you're going
out potentially selling your next Stranger Things or House of
Cards or Six Feet Under, you got HBO, you got
Netflix and one of them. If Netflix is going to
be taken over HBO in the next two years, do
you want to be in the Netflix camp or do
(05:47):
you want to be in the HBO camp. I actually
don't know the answer to that, because I am an
ignorant clown, but I think that that is the concern well.
Speaker 6 (05:56):
Netflix says the deal will benefit subscribers. Some experts say
streaming customers could very well see the cost of consolidation.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Of course, less competition means prices go up. Is econ
one on one baby.
Speaker 6 (06:09):
Some experts say streaming customers could very well see the
cost of consolidation.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
If you have more of what people want, you have
more leverage to raise prices.
Speaker 6 (06:18):
Netflix for years, a disruptor of traditional Hollywood, now on
the verge of acquiring classics like Casablanca, hoping today's announcement
with Warner Brothers is the beginning of a beautiful friendship,
and a Netflix spokesperson told me just minutes ago that
they are committed to keeping movies in theaters if the
deal goes through.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
That is of course what they say right now, which
is that Warner Brothers as it stands will stay Warner Brothers.
If Netflix acquires Warner Brothers Discovery, they will also spin
off all of the cable television stations that includes CNN, HGTV, TBSTNN.
I think all of these sort of legacy TV networks
(06:59):
Netflix want anything to do with that that'll have to
be spun off into its own company. But what I
think is fascinating about this is that there are so
many hot takes about what this actually means, and many
people don't think that this actually will will go through.
And the reason that they're pointing to it is not
only that the DOJ will probably have something to say
about this as far as it goes so as far
(07:20):
as it relates to monopolies, right.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Because you have less choices.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
You've got these major media companies eating each other and
becoming one megamedia company. Netflix, of course, in its own right,
a startup, but a very compelling model for the future
of the entertainment industry. I think if your Warner Brothers
Discovery and your Warner Brothers in HBO, those are the
things that are the most valuable, at least to Netflix,
because they've got the number one movie studio. HBO is
(07:47):
still a powerhouse in premium entertainment. Also is a direct
to consumer subscription model as opposed to advertisers supported we
see in the digital age there's a lot of struggle
with trying to make content on an advertise are supported budget.
So you're looking, I think at a future where it
probably would make sense that if this happens, Netflix unifies
(08:12):
more of what is going on with their productions, their studios.
They want the legacy, they want the IP. Of course,
under Warner Brothers you have all of DC, which includes Superman, Batman,
the Justice League, and now Barbie. I guess as well.
But as you heard, opposition though, was of course swift,
(08:33):
especially with the Writer's Guild of America who said the
merger must be blocked without a doubt. They don't want that,
they want more places for their shows to potentially end up.
And one of the things that I think is fascinating
about this is that Netflix paid some thirty dollars or
will pay some thirty dollars a share for the studio,
which is a lot higher than what it's was trading at.
(08:58):
And I think that if this doesn't happen, this eighty
two billion dollar deal, there's something like a five billion
dollar kill fee that Netflix would have to pay to
Warner Brothers Discovery. But if this takes say two years,
three years to get done, and even if it doesn't happen,
they got to give five billion dollars or whatever to
(09:20):
Warner Brothers Discovery, that's nothing to them. They spend eighteen
billion dollars every year on content. And if you were
able to hobble your competitor, your number one competitor, as Netflix,
if you can make it more difficult for Warner Brothers
Discovery through this process to be successful, then maybe that's
actually a pretty good risk coming out at the other
(09:42):
end of it. The DOJ has to approve this, of course,
and as far as a monopoly goes, there's some thought
about the Trump administration, at least when it came to
the next Star techna deal which was a local television station.
Next our largest television operator in the country. They also
run KTLA where I work. They were trying to acquire Tegna,
(10:04):
who's another station group, And there's been some thought that
in the new administration that there was some support for this.
They would have to get regulatory approval to consolidate, but
in recent weeks the President has expressed that he in
fact might not love the idea of consolidation, which is interesting.
(10:28):
I mean, it's all interesting because it's hard to predict
where he's going to go with this. So whether or
not that will happen even if he's in office, if
it'll be years after that, I don't know. But I
think what is interesting is that you've got this road
ahead where as a consumer you have less choice. As
a creator, you have less choice. But what Netflix, I
think will argue is that they are not a monopoly
(10:48):
if they assume Warner Brothers Studio, because they do very
different things. Right, Warner Brothers is making things for movie theaters.
Netflix is a subscription based model, and they will say
I think that they they are actually just competing against Netflix,
and Netflix rather is just competing against YouTube and TikTok,
and so they can't have a monopoly.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Either way. Fascinating stuff.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
And really will change the makeup of Hollywood if it
indeed goes forward. By the way, CNN, TNT, Discovery, HGTV,
the Food Network spun off into a separate global or
separate company rather, which will be publicly traded. It'll be
called Discovery Global, kind of going the way of miss
Now ms now. And some CNN employees were a little worried,
(11:39):
but they seem like they're a little more relieved now,
which I don't understand because CNN is losing four hundred
million dollars a year, which is bonkers to me. You know,
say what you will about if it's a good news
organization or not. My point is, like a company losing
four hundred million dollars a year, year over year of year,
(12:01):
the fact that company is big enough to have that
much money to lose is crazy. Doesn't seem sustainable. But again,
who am I to say? Coming up, we're going to
talk to Shannon Farren about the Chargers. They'll be an
Monday Night Football tomorrow plus later. What is going on
in the Cortino Olympic Village right now, and Matthew Lillard
reacts to Quentin Tarantino criticizing his acting.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
We're going to read a news article.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Neither of those men are going to be joining us today,
but we've got lots coming up here on the Andy
Reesmier Show. Please say hello at the iHeartRadio app and
we'll put you on the show.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
I'm Andy Reesemyer.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Coming up in just a little bit, A little minute,
maybe a long minute, I don't know. We're going to
talk to Shannon Frum, Gary and Shannon about the Chargers
in Indyana football. We've got to talk back from a listener.
Fascinating stuff. Let's take a listen.
Speaker 7 (12:56):
Hi, Andy, it's Gary and I have a question that
I have not able to find an answer to. But
this administration has gone very soft on antitrust and monopoly laws,
not just with this but many other mergers that have happened.
So my question is, why why have the gun sought
(13:18):
on anti trust laws?
Speaker 3 (13:21):
What is their goal? What are they doing?
Speaker 2 (13:24):
I think there's a lot to unpack from that. And
I am not an economist or a political wonk, but
I you know, do the news, and I have some.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Thoughts about it.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
I think that generally speaking, if you look at the
history of the Republican Party, that there are probably less
reticence to enforce, or there's less reticence, there's more likely
they're more likely to not enforce anti trust laws. I
think that if you if you look at the way
(13:55):
meta and big tech is viewed by the administration and
especially the current elected officials, I think there's a lot
of concern about the size of these tech companies. And
you know, whether or not you want to say this
(14:16):
will benefit the administration, I don't know if that's what
you were getting at Gary. You know, I think that
at least when it comes to Netflix and Warner Brothers Discovery,
I can't see a direct link to that unless there
are people who are friends of the current administration, you
(14:36):
could say. But as far as you think about CNN
and the Warner Brothers merger from years ago, I think
the time Warner merger, I think there was a lot
more concern about that because it's a media company. But
the reality is none of these companies are making very
(14:58):
much money. And I think that the influence because of
companies like Facebook, like meta like TikTok are starting to fade,
and I think that the sense of consolidation is that. Okay, yes,
if you're looking at media companies as the end all
be all, being the traditional media companies merging together to
(15:21):
create a monopoly ten years ago, twenty years ago, sure,
But now, because there's so much more stuff happening on
the Internet, I understand that it might not have the
same sort of impact. I know that as a consumer
and as a journalist, I don't want there to be
widespread consolidation of television stations because a less people have jobs.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
That's just the fact.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
And secondly, I think it hurts when there's no competition,
especially if in a news gathering perspective, because there's always
I think the benefit of trying to find story and
trying to get a scoop and scoop your competition ultimately
(16:07):
ends up with more people knowing more things, and I
think that's a good thing that we should have more of.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Ailing. Do you have any thoughts on this.
Speaker 8 (16:19):
I'm sorry, I was involved in other things. That's okay,
that's all right, But so you're talking about Netflix. I
do think there's definitely an antitrust issue here.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Yeah, I mean it.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Would it would seem to be that if you were
emerging the largest streaming service with another very large streaming
service that by eyeballs alone, you know, Amazon kind of
doesn't get to be Prime Videos number two. So you've
got one at Netflix number two. You've got Amazon Prime Video,
then you have three, You've got Warner Brothers, Discovery and HBO.
Speaker 8 (16:52):
And as an actor, you know, I do some acting.
I see from the actor's perspective. Also, it can very
much limit opportunities and even like if you do shows
like for Cable as opposed to like Networker, you know,
depending on who's doing them, you get paid less.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Yeah, and if there's fewer people. This is just how
it always goes with everything. The competition works on the
other side as well. As a viewer, you might be
having to pay more for a thing. But then as
someone who is like in Hollywood, someone who's making something
is being employed by the industry, If there's just one
company to go to, that means that there's going to
be not as many options. They don't have to compete
(17:29):
for your labor either, and if.
Speaker 8 (17:32):
They don't believe in putting the movies in.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
Theaters, you know, that's a that's a big deal.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
They say that they will, they say that they're going
to keep them in theaters. And I think that as
far as there is a world where ego is involved,
theaters will still happen because I think people get into Hollywood,
and especially since it's such an ego driven business in
order to I think, I don't think this is a
surprise to see their name in lights, to see their
name on the crawl, on the scroll.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
Yeah, and just the experience of being in the theater.
Speaker 9 (18:01):
You know, it's beat sitting on the couch, That's true.
Depends on what kind of couch you got. Who else, Well,
we I wanted to go.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
I wanted to talk a bit about this story, which
is just blowing my mind.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
I think it's so funny.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Gavin Newsom is involved in a leg crossing scandal, which
just shows how stupid everything has become.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Governor Newsom was.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Mercilessly trolled online earlier than the week after people thought
that his cross legged position was a little girly, was.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
A little famme. So what he was at the Oh,
it gets better.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
He was at the New York Times Deal Book Summit, which,
like you could not pay me to go to his office.
Was quick though, to respond after people said things like
his legs look like rubber, or how does any guy
anatomically sit like this? He's just crossing his legs.
Speaker 5 (19:01):
It's very European, by the way, for men to cross
their legs when they sit.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
When did this become what are we in?
Speaker 5 (19:07):
Like?
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Fourth grade?
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Are you were?
Speaker 4 (19:10):
Politics? It's European though.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Men in Europe sits with their legs crossed and they
wear speedos to go swimming.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Well, that will not do well.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
He will not bode well if he's going to try
to become the president for the Middle America with those
those legs crossed speedo tendencies.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
So he's got to get he's got to get this
figured out soon.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
I hope there's no speedo involved here too.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
He's fifty eight years old. By the way, did you
know that I didn't realize that he was that he
was he was? He doesn't he's almost six years old. Yeah.
So then his office posted in another photo, which was
I think either AI or CGI, where basically his legs
are It's the same photo, but instead of his legs
being crossed in front of his abdomen, they are crossed
(19:51):
above his head. His legs are sticking up in the
middle in the air, and his ankles are crossed by
his face. And then her hands are raised so that
his middle and like his hands are pressed into each
other like almost he's doing like a yogas.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
It is the weirdest thing ever.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
Sometimes AI is fun.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Sometimes it's fun. Uh So, I don't know. I never
thought about this. But here's a new Here's a new
thing that I can be worried about. Is if I'm
sitting to effeminately.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Sometimes you like to do that.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
It's so comfortable to put one knee over the other
and use you know, you can pull it, pull on
your on your knee with one hand.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
And sometimes girls like to man spread. It's all good.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
That was gonna say.
Speaker 8 (20:33):
That's the other side of the spectrum. I don't want
to see him man spreading either.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Yeah, no, I don't know. It's not good.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
I'm gonna ask Shannon Farren about this when she's uh
she calls in for the next segment. See if she
has any hot takes on. Governor knew some man spread
and or sitting like a lady. It's kfi am six
forty We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Thanks for being with us on this Sunday, December seventh.
So exciting this time of year, especially if you're a
fan of sports. If you're not a fan of sports,
this is a very hard time of year because it's
pretty much, especially when it comes to football, all that
anybody who's interested in football wants to talk about. But
that's okay because on the line we have someone who's
(21:21):
very interested in football from the Gary and Shannon Show
right here on KFI AM six forty and also the
KFI Chargers sideline reporter Shannon Farren joins us now via
the telephone.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
Good afternoon, friend, Hello Andy' I'm so happy to join you.
I'm so glad to be with you today. I'm a
big fan of yours.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Oh my goodness, me too, I mean you.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
I'm not a huge fan of myself necessarily, but I'm
a huge fan of yours. I've listened a lot and
I met you for the first time of the pastathon
last week, which by the way, raised so much money,
did so well. Congratulations to everybody who was a part
of that. That's a huge, A huge ding dong for sure.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
Isn't that insane? I mean, and they do it quietly.
And I say they because really it's Michelle Q. Kelly,
who's the executive producer at KFI that really puts all
of this together. But it's done so quietly every year
raising over a million dollars. It feels like at least
a five years, the last five years is over that
million dollar mark, and that's just incredible. You don't hear
(22:23):
about it a lot, but that's the best charity, right Like,
when you can do that good for people in your
own community, it's the way to kick off the season.
It feels good and it's just a nice way to
go into the holidays.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
That's a really good point that when you can see
a direct correlation between giving your money to a thing
and then it's actually happening feeding kids twenty five thousand
a week. I mean, that is such a huge deal
that I know makes a big difference, and it's because
of the incredible listeners here at KFI. So we are
so appreciative that you all donate. And you can still
donate of course to the Caterina's Club and some other
(22:56):
wonderful charities. There will never not take the money. I
think is what I have been told. Let's talk about football,
so I know that you football is not known to
really anyone because IU football has historically been very bad.
When I grew up in Indiana, we knew that it
was all about the basketball. I you Purdue, Bobby Knight
(23:17):
throwing the chairs. There was no lore about IU football
because nobody really cared. But man, oh Man a thirteen
in o season, first time winning the Big Ten championship
since I think nineteen forty five or something like that,
against none other than the Ohio State beat Penn State
beat Oregon. This is a huge, huge deal for the Hoosiers.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
I don't watch a lot of college football. I am
set on the NFL. My plate is full with the NFL.
But yesterday all anyone could talk about was this Ohio
State Indiana game. And I thought, God, I wish I cared,
And then I go, wait, I do care. I just
met any and he told me he went to Indiana.
I have a reason to watch this game. I've got
(24:04):
skin in the game. It's the first time that they
have beat Ohio State, like since what nineteen sixty seven
or something. Crazy like that, and so you know you're
rooting for them. I felt my heart went out for
that kicker, the Ohio State kicker, that is the fielding.
Is that his last day.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
It's a single worst thing that has ever happened in
his life and probably ever.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
Well, oh well, I said to my husband, I go,
there were two paths, because we're all in like the
holiday Christmas spirit season, right, and some of those Christmas
movies are very sliding doors, and I'm thinking to myself,
this is this is right. We're watching the divergent paths
of this kid's life. But he makes that kick. All
the boosters love him. He except for life, you know,
(24:45):
the whole bit. You could see his life playing out
before you. But because he missed the kick, suddenly I'm like,
he's at you know, Jack's Bar down the street in
smalltown Ohio, like where he's going to live forever. And
of course that's not going to be what happens. He'll
be fine. Now. My husband made a good point. He goes, well,
it's not like it was the kicker for Indiana. I said,
excellent point, and he went to Ohio State. He'll be fine,
(25:07):
He'll be just fine.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
You don't want to see an underdog choke in that situation.
But you love watching the person who always wins for
some reason screw up and then it doesn't happen. It's
funny because do you remember that you two And if
you don't, I don't blame you, because I think it
was a dreadful song. But it was called Stuck in
a Moment, and it essentially is that. The music video
is the premise of a kicker who misses a field
(25:30):
goal from like five yards and it was the game
winning field and he's like eighty years old going back
to the stadium, living through that light. And it doesn't
have a positive It doesn't it doesn't end positively. That's
the whole story. So I think about that a lot.
Let's talk about NFL, your true love Chargers playing tomorrow.
(25:50):
Justin Herbert, how is his hand doing because we know
that he broke his little hand there last week.
Speaker 5 (25:56):
Okay, so first of all, it's not little. His hand
is bigger than your soul. You have a large skull, Andy.
This is his kid is not just a kid. He's
six six, he's built like a brick out house. Yeah,
and he'll be just fine. Justin Herbert broke this hand,
or at least his middle finger, back in October twenty
twenty three when they're playing the Cowboys. What happened was
(26:17):
he got it tangled in one of the Cowboys helmets.
That sounds comfortable.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
That's that's how big his hands are. That he like
a fishing like a fishing expedition, is tangled in like
a rope. That's crazy, right.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
Right, So his hand has been mangled since then. He
has played with a variety of different machinations. They've gone
through when it comes to the training department and what
they have been able to do with that hand over
the past two seasons, they've kind of got it down.
He played with a splint for a while. He played
with those two fingers, the middle finger and the index
finger taped together. Whether those the middle finger the ring
(26:52):
thing taped together. They've tried all sorts of things. When
he heard his hand last week with the Raiders, he
came out with a mic Jackson white glove.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
It looked very cool.
Speaker 5 (27:02):
Yeah, yes, very cool. You always look cool. It wasn't
on the right hand, as Michael made it popular. It
was on his left hand, which means as his non
throwing hand, which means, yes, he can still play well.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Let's hope that that.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Is the extent the extent of his his Michael Michael
Jackson tendencies.
Speaker 5 (27:19):
Yeah, I don't think he has rhythm. I don't want
to just bespurtch Justin Herbert's rhythm. If it exists, I've
never seen it. I don't see that in his personalities.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
But adys and.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Beer is teaching him a two step or something.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
I think she's teaching I almost just said something that
was not nice. I don't know their personal life. She's
teaching him. I will say this to loosen up. This
is the loosest Justin Herbert. I have seen Field when
Tyrod Taylor was injected into his ribs and since two thousand,
I've never seen Justin Herbert play this loose and have
(27:54):
this much fun. Part of it is just that the
game has slowed down for him. Part of it is
that he is just having a good time. He's healthy.
Aside from this broken left hand that he should be
able to play with. You'll see a little bit less
right under center, Andy, but he'll be fine.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Yeah, I'm excited for them. I know that the upcoming
schedule is not a cake walk. So we definitely need
him to be healthy. As you know, I am a
big Chargers fan. I have been inducted into the Chargers
fandom by my significant other and it has been It
has been fun because they have been doing well. And
(28:30):
I will say that and leave that.
Speaker 5 (28:32):
I will tell you this. I will just tell you this,
don't have hope. Hope is a scary, scary thing. Have fun,
have fun. The Chargers are a fun team to watch.
They're much more fun than the Rams. They have all
the star power, justin Herbert. Make sure everybody eats out there.
You're going to see Lad McConkie, get balls, Keenan alan Q.
You're going to see all of the fireworks. Just just
(28:54):
protect yourself, is all I will say being a Chargers fan.
It's what I've learned in seven years. Totally protect your emotion.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
I was.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
I was at the Chargers game last year, Chargers Chiefs game,
which I should have known buying tickets to that would
have like why did I do that? You know, because
because my girlfriend's so into it that like she will
be devastated for two days afterwards, and just being a.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Chargers fan, you would think.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
And she's also a UCLA fan, so like you would
think eventually you'd be like, well, you're used to this, right,
But we were probably ten minutes left in the game,
and we're standing there and people just start leaving because
there's not you know, there's not a lot of hope.
And this guy walking up the stands next to us
is a full grown man in a Chargers jersey, a
fan who's crying. He's crying, yeah, and he goes, these
(29:40):
guys are just effin'.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Losers, ma'am. They're efin losers. And I was just like,
I was like, this is I don't know how I
ended up here, but this is fun. By the way,
what are you doing now?
Speaker 5 (29:51):
It feels good to have your heart broken. It makes
you feel alive.
Speaker 10 (29:54):
I love that.
Speaker 5 (29:55):
You know there are certain teams that'll do it for you.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Yes, absolutely, so for tomorrow. How are you getting ready?
What does the prep look like for you? Are you
doing suicide runs back and forth on the sideline?
Speaker 3 (30:07):
Are you lifting a microphone?
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Are you trying to do like a holding one ear
in the right in the right one hand rather in
the right ear so that you can hear out of
the left, Like, what's the prep like for you?
Speaker 5 (30:18):
You know, it's funny. I get so amped up for
this games like these games, like I am playing a
single down, I get so excited about adrenalin is like
one hundred and twenty miles per hour, and I have
to constantly remind myself not to get that fired up.
It is always a fun time. The adrenaline is always high.
When it's a primetime game. It's so far with the Chargers,
(30:42):
the fans really turn out. It's under the lights. It's
a Philadelphia, the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, who have
been kind of faltering. They're desperate. The Chargers are desperate
to maintain their wild card position. Here Denver looks like
I was watching Denver earlier. That defense is incredible. It
looks like Denver will win the division. We'll see anything
can happen. Still a lot of football left, but Chargers
(31:04):
want to hold on to where they're at in the
wild card positioning. And so it is going to be
the biggest headline coming into the game is o'mari and
Hampton is back. This is the Chargers running back that
was injured. I believe it was Week five, and so
Omarian Hampton has been the Jim Harbaugh, Greg Roman hope
for the season in terms of a solid, consistent run game.
(31:27):
Yes they're hurting on the line, Yes we've got We're
down a couple all pro tackles, but Omari and Hampton
and the way the run blocking has evolved could make
for a very huge win for the Chargers tomorrow night.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
I can't wait.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
We will be watching, of course, and listening here on
KFI AM six forty. Before we leave, I got to
tell you a funny quick story, which is that in
a know way overtime.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
So I'm sorry about this, but it's jan and fair
and everybody.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
When I was a kid and I lived in Indianapolis,
we had a house in Zionsville, Indiana. Doesn't that sound
like a place that would be in Indiana? And we
were trying to sell it and I think my parents
are getting divorced. I think so that they were probably
pretty or they were on the way, I don't know,
but we wanted to get rid of the house quickly.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
I won't bore you with my life story.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
But the then quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts put an
offer on the house and it was accepted, and that
man was, of course Jim Harbaugh. Wow, and before he
was able to buy it, he got drafted or trance
(32:33):
at that. He got he got he got relocated, I believe,
to Baltimore. So the deal fell through and Jim Harbaugh
did not buy our house.
Speaker 5 (32:42):
Oh wow, Andy, I'm going to have to tell him
that story. And I was to ask him if he
remembers the house he put an offer four on in Indianapolis,
and then I can tell him the whole story. The
only thing with Jim Harbaugh is you can't talk to
him for longer than seven seconds if it's not about football,
because he loses interest.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Well, maybe I'm sure he'd remember too, because and you know,
the worst thing is when you go up to a
famous person you're like, I know you don't remember this,
but I did this with you in that and then
be like, I don't.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
I don't know, Maan, that was thirty years ago.
Speaker 5 (33:09):
Well I'll have to pick my moment for that story.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
Yeah, well please get Wait.
Speaker 5 (33:14):
That's very cool. That's a coolie. That's a cool piece
of Andy family history.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
Isn't that fun?
Speaker 2 (33:19):
I know it was weird because I was like, I
know that name, and then my mom was like, oh no,
that was the guy who bought the house and then
they had to bail. So anyway, all right, Well, Shannon Farren,
thank you so much for colling. Really appreciate you. Great
to meet you in person, Great to have you on
the show. Please call back at your earliest convenience anytime.
Speaker 5 (33:38):
Andy, I'd love to be on your show anytime. You
have a good rest of the weekend.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
Thank you so much. Six forty relive everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 3 (33:52):
Got a talk back, Let's take a listen.
Speaker 5 (33:55):
About made meet Puke When Andy should that share was
coming on.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
Her at all? Well, we lost that listener. Whoops. Sorry.
I'm a huge fan of Shannon Ferrett.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
I think Shannon is incredible, great energy, always so knowledgeable,
maybe see and makes it look easy. That's the number
one thing about this is that I remember as a
kid thinking I want to do TV and I want
to do like talk shows and stuff like that, because
they look like they're having a fun time and it
looks easy. Just work for a couple hours and you
(34:31):
go home. It's easy, right, It's not easy. It is
so hard. It's so hard to be good and Gary
and Shannon, I mean everybody on this station. That's why
this is such an unbelievably cool place. But if you
can make this interesting, funny, smart for five minutes a week,
(34:53):
if you can do that for four hours a day,
five days a.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
Week, buddy, it's tough stuff. By the way, as we.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
Continue here through the show, want to talk about a
couple things coming up. The government can track your location,
but maybe not how you think. Plus, a search is
resuming for the Malaysian Airlines flight MH three seventy plane
that vanished back in twenty fourteen.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
That's interesting.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
And how about this, What is going on with Matthew
I'm not sorry, I'm not Matthew Lillard. What is going
on with Quentin Tarantino right now?
Speaker 3 (35:29):
He's so mad?
Speaker 2 (35:32):
He was on a podcast with Brett Easton Ellis just
talking smack about famous actors. Remember he said Paul Dano
was the weakest male actor in SAG.
Speaker 3 (35:45):
He was talking about there will be Blood.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
He also said he can't stand Owen Wilson, says he
doesn't care for Paul Dano, Owen Wilson or Matthew Lillard.
First of all, I am also so in SAG. So
Paul Dano is not the weakest male actor in SAG,
(36:09):
but Matthew Lillard now is reacting to it. And the
reason I wanted to do this story is because I
met Matthew Lillard last week. He was at Katla, but
he was talking to people at Galaxy con in Columbus,
Ohio on Friday. And of course he's been in Scream.
You might have seen him in Bosh. He's a journeyman actor.
He's been in all kinds of stuff, Scooby Doo. And
so somebody asked him what does he think about Quentin
(36:33):
Tarantino saying that.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
He doesn't like him. Matt says, I call him Matt.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
Quentin Tarantino this week said he didn't like me as
an actor, and then he says, ah, whatever, who cares.
But then he said, it actually hurts your feelings. It
effen sucks. He didn't say he said the full word.
He said, and you wouldn't say that to Tom Cruise,
you wouldn't say that to somebody who's a top line
actor in Hollywood. And then he said he's not given
(37:01):
the A list treatment outside the convention circuit, saying I'm.
Speaker 3 (37:04):
Very popular in this room.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
I'm not very popular in Hollywood, totally different microcosms, and
so you know, it's humbling and it hurts. And then
somebody shattered from the audience, we love you, and he said,
thank you. I think that that's so wild. He's such
a charming, seemingly very nice man. And when I ran
into him, you know, we're really lucky at Katie, like
we've got people coming in all the time. And I
(37:28):
popped in and I said hello, and I said, hey, man,
big fan, and I just it just blows your mind
because you look at somebody like that and you're like
that guy. Everybody knows him. Who doesn't like Matthew Lillard.
He's got these incredible franchises.
Speaker 3 (37:42):
He's been a part of.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
Scream and Scooby Doo. That's not a joke. I mean,
like kids like that show, grown Up, that movie grown Up.
And yet that kind of stuff still hurts.
Speaker 5 (37:55):
He has a reputation as being one of the nicest
actors in Hollywood as well.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
And that is a huge deal.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
And that matters because everybody knows if you're an a hole,
everybody finds out. It cannot be a weirdo in this
business without people knowing. People talk and they love to talk. Actually,
if you're a weirdo or you're you're an a holey,
the people would want to talk about you more.
Speaker 3 (38:21):
Maybe that's why they do it. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
What's happening down there in Malaysia. What a crazy thing.
Remember MH three seventy. Listen to a little bit of
this about what's going on now. We're looking for the
plane again.
Speaker 10 (38:35):
More than a decade after its disappearance, Malaysian authorities have
announced that the deep sea search for Malaysia Airlines flight
MH three seventy will resume. Here's what to know. The
Boeing seven seven seven flight disappeared without a trace on
March eighth, twenty fourteen, with two hundred and thirty nine
people on board a flight from Malaysia's capital, Kuala Lumpur
(38:57):
to Beijing. The pilot's radio call to ku La Lumpur,
good night Malaysian three seven zero was the final communication
before the plane crossed into Vietnamese airspace, where it failed
to check in with flight controllers. Its transponder, which broadcast
its location, shut down. Minutes later, military radar showed the
jet turned from its flight path and headed south to
(39:18):
the far southern Indian Ocean. Satellite data suggests it continued
flying for hours, possibly until fuel exhaustion, before crashing into
a remote section of the ocean.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
Still one of the strangest mysteries of all very weird.
We will get into why they are reopening the search
in the next hour plus. A message from viewer Kevin Daniels,
who said the woman ripping on Shannon Ferrin is simply
jealous of her. Shannon is a full ticket broadcaster. I
appreciate the note, Kevin. I'm not sure what full ticket means,
(39:50):
but I agree with you. Shannon's great. It's KFIAM six forty.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
Happy to see you. Been a minute.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Was off this week a little bit, having some nice
family time, trying to get this merger done with Netflix
and Warner Brothers.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Finally did it. I was finally successful.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
They needed a little bit of insight for me, and
I was happy to provide it. So I'm hoping that
I we'll be able to buy everybody a house in
the hills now after that closes in eighteen months. On
the show today, so much to talk about. Cafe Shannon
farn will be calling in and we're gonna be talking
about a big win for Indiana football yesterday against the
(01:32):
Ohio State. You know, I'm a Hoosier people growing up
didn't talk a lot about Indiana football. It was Indiana basketball.
But now serious contenders here as IU has just gone on.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
To win the Big Ten championship.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
And also I believe maybe the first time they've done
that since nineteen forty five.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Been a long time coming.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Plus House Star Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is faring after
surgery ahead of tomorrow's Monday night football game. Charges are
taken on the Eagles. We're also talking about what it
means to sit like a man? Do you sit like
a man? Do you sit like a girl? Is the
governor sitting like a man or a woman? That Governor Knewsome?
(02:17):
Plus a recall of Trader Joe's holiday favorites savings, So
this is really the war on Christmas that they're talking about.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
And speaking of food.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Later on Nil Sevagra, the Fork reporter, will join us
to remember Melinda Lee. She was a well known radio
personality in southern California for many years, the food news
lady who passed away earlier this week. We will talk
to him in the three o'clock hour. But first, good

us know.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
I've never heard of it.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
I've never heard of Zenga. We're on loxanga live journal.
Mario you were, yeah, I was, yeah, big four chan guy.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
That I've heard of.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
No.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
One of the things I want to talk about a
lot of the conversation in the Hollywood the last few
days has been about this merger. Warner Brothers Discovery is
to be eaten by Netflix in a deal worth eighty
two billion dollars. Netflix will take over Warner Brothers Discovery,
not the entire company. That's very important, but it essentially
(03:58):
will combine the number one in the number three free
streamer for a mega company. If it indeed happens. Here's
some background, and then we'll talk about it.
Speaker 6 (04:07):
For Superman Home could soon be. Netflix has established franchise
powerhouses like Harry Potter, You're a Wizard, Harry, and Batman.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
I've seen now would have to become.
Speaker 6 (04:19):
Join modern media marvels like Stranger Things and K Pop
Demon Hunters under one mega Hollywood heavyweight, Netflix co CEO
Ted Sarandos announcing today that the streamer will buy Warner
Brothers studios HBO, Max and HBO and a deal valued
at nearly eighty three billion dollars.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
In a world where people have so many choices, more
choices than ever, how to spend their time, we can't
stand still.
Speaker 7 (04:43):
We need to keep innovating and investing in stories that
matter most to audiences.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
Warner Brothers ward accepting the offer, which beat out competition
from NBC parent company Comcast and David Ellison's paramount Skydance.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
The deal, which we'll.
Speaker 6 (04:57):
See linear cable channels like Discovery and CNN spun off
from Warner Brothers, is expected to take twelve to eighteen
months to close and will face several regulatory hurdles.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
So many regulatory hurdles if it even happens.
Speaker 6 (05:12):
Tonight, top Hollywood associations raising concerns, the Writers Guild calling
the deal what antitrust laws were designed to prevent.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Talent has understandably concerned that this is going to mean
fewer buyers and fewer opportunities.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Yeah, because if you have a show and you're going
out potentially selling your next Stranger Things or House of
Cards or Six Feet Under, you got HBO, you got
Netflix and one of them. If Netflix is going to
be taken over HBO in the next two years, do
you want to be in the Netflix camp or do
(05:47):
you want to be in the HBO camp. I actually
don't know the answer to that, because I am an
ignorant clown, but I think that that is the concern well.
Speaker 6 (05:56):
Netflix says the deal will benefit subscribers. Some experts say
streaming customers could very well see the cost of consolidation.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Of course, less competition means prices go up. Is econ
one on one baby.
Speaker 6 (06:09):
Some experts say streaming customers could very well see the
cost of consolidation.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
If you have more of what people want, you have
more leverage to raise prices.
Speaker 6 (06:18):
Netflix for years, a disruptor of traditional Hollywood, now on
the verge of acquiring classics like Casablanca, hoping today's announcement
with Warner Brothers is the beginning of a beautiful friendship,
and a Netflix spokesperson told me just minutes ago that
they are committed to keeping movies in theaters if the
deal goes through.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
That is of course what they say right now, which
is that Warner Brothers as it stands will stay Warner Brothers.
If Netflix acquires Warner Brothers Discovery, they will also spin
off all of the cable television stations that includes CNN, HGTV, TBSTNN.
I think all of these sort of legacy TV networks
(06:59):
Netflix want anything to do with that that'll have to
be spun off into its own company. But what I
think is fascinating about this is that there are so
many hot takes about what this actually means, and many
people don't think that this actually will will go through.
And the reason that they're pointing to it is not
only that the DOJ will probably have something to say
about this as far as it goes so as far
(07:20):
as it relates to monopolies, right.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Because you have less choices.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
You've got these major media companies eating each other and
becoming one megamedia company. Netflix, of course, in its own right,
a startup, but a very compelling model for the future
of the entertainment industry. I think if your Warner Brothers
Discovery and your Warner Brothers in HBO, those are the
things that are the most valuable, at least to Netflix,
because they've got the number one movie studio. HBO is
(07:47):
still a powerhouse in premium entertainment. Also is a direct
to consumer subscription model as opposed to advertisers supported we
see in the digital age there's a lot of struggle
with trying to make content on an advertise are supported budget.
So you're looking, I think at a future where it
probably would make sense that if this happens, Netflix unifies
(08:12):
more of what is going on with their productions, their studios.
They want the legacy, they want the IP. Of course,
under Warner Brothers you have all of DC, which includes Superman, Batman,
the Justice League, and now Barbie. I guess as well.
But as you heard, opposition though, was of course swift,
(08:33):
especially with the Writer's Guild of America who said the
merger must be blocked without a doubt. They don't want that,
they want more places for their shows to potentially end up.
And one of the things that I think is fascinating
about this is that Netflix paid some thirty dollars or
will pay some thirty dollars a share for the studio,
which is a lot higher than what it's was trading at.
(08:58):
And I think that if this doesn't happen, this eighty
two billion dollar deal, there's something like a five billion
dollar kill fee that Netflix would have to pay to
Warner Brothers Discovery. But if this takes say two years,
three years to get done, and even if it doesn't happen,
they got to give five billion dollars or whatever to
(09:20):
Warner Brothers Discovery, that's nothing to them. They spend eighteen
billion dollars every year on content. And if you were
able to hobble your competitor, your number one competitor, as Netflix,
if you can make it more difficult for Warner Brothers
Discovery through this process to be successful, then maybe that's
actually a pretty good risk coming out at the other
(09:42):
end of it. The DOJ has to approve this, of course,
and as far as a monopoly goes, there's some thought
about the Trump administration, at least when it came to
the next Star techna deal which was a local television station.
Next our largest television operator in the country. They also
run KTLA where I work. They were trying to acquire Tegna,
(10:04):
who's another station group, And there's been some thought that
in the new administration that there was some support for this.
They would have to get regulatory approval to consolidate, but
in recent weeks the President has expressed that he in
fact might not love the idea of consolidation, which is interesting.
(10:28):
I mean, it's all interesting because it's hard to predict
where he's going to go with this. So whether or
not that will happen even if he's in office, if
it'll be years after that, I don't know. But I
think what is interesting is that you've got this road
ahead where as a consumer you have less choice. As
a creator, you have less choice. But what Netflix, I
think will argue is that they are not a monopoly
(10:48):
if they assume Warner Brothers Studio, because they do very
different things. Right, Warner Brothers is making things for movie theaters.
Netflix is a subscription based model, and they will say
I think that they they are actually just competing against Netflix,
and Netflix rather is just competing against YouTube and TikTok,
and so they can't have a monopoly.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Either way. Fascinating stuff.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
And really will change the makeup of Hollywood if it
indeed goes forward. By the way, CNN, TNT, Discovery, HGTV,
the Food Network spun off into a separate global or
separate company rather, which will be publicly traded. It'll be
called Discovery Global, kind of going the way of miss
Now ms now. And some CNN employees were a little worried,
(11:39):
but they seem like they're a little more relieved now,
which I don't understand because CNN is losing four hundred
million dollars a year, which is bonkers to me. You know,
say what you will about if it's a good news
organization or not. My point is, like a company losing
four hundred million dollars a year, year over year of year,
(12:01):
the fact that company is big enough to have that
much money to lose is crazy. Doesn't seem sustainable. But again,
who am I to say? Coming up, we're going to
talk to Shannon Farren about the Chargers. They'll be an
Monday Night Football tomorrow plus later. What is going on
in the Cortino Olympic Village right now, and Matthew Lillard
reacts to Quentin Tarantino criticizing his acting.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
We're going to read a news article.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Neither of those men are going to be joining us today,
but we've got lots coming up here on the Andy
Reesmier Show. Please say hello at the iHeartRadio app and
we'll put you on the show.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
I'm Andy Reesemyer.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Coming up in just a little bit, A little minute,
maybe a long minute, I don't know. We're going to
talk to Shannon Frum, Gary and Shannon about the Chargers
in Indyana football. We've got to talk back from a listener.
Fascinating stuff. Let's take a listen.
Speaker 7 (12:56):
Hi, Andy, it's Gary and I have a question that
I have not able to find an answer to. But
this administration has gone very soft on antitrust and monopoly laws,
not just with this but many other mergers that have happened.
So my question is, why why have the gun sought
(13:18):
on anti trust laws?
Speaker 3 (13:21):
What is their goal? What are they doing?
Speaker 2 (13:24):
I think there's a lot to unpack from that. And
I am not an economist or a political wonk, but
I you know, do the news, and I have some.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Thoughts about it.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
I think that generally speaking, if you look at the
history of the Republican Party, that there are probably less
reticence to enforce, or there's less reticence, there's more likely
they're more likely to not enforce anti trust laws. I
think that if you if you look at the way
(13:55):
meta and big tech is viewed by the administration and
especially the current elected officials, I think there's a lot
of concern about the size of these tech companies. And
you know, whether or not you want to say this
(14:16):
will benefit the administration, I don't know if that's what
you were getting at Gary. You know, I think that
at least when it comes to Netflix and Warner Brothers Discovery,
I can't see a direct link to that unless there
are people who are friends of the current administration, you
(14:36):
could say. But as far as you think about CNN
and the Warner Brothers merger from years ago, I think
the time Warner merger, I think there was a lot
more concern about that because it's a media company. But
the reality is none of these companies are making very
(14:58):
much money. And I think that the influence because of
companies like Facebook, like meta like TikTok are starting to fade,
and I think that the sense of consolidation is that. Okay, yes,
if you're looking at media companies as the end all
be all, being the traditional media companies merging together to
(15:21):
create a monopoly ten years ago, twenty years ago, sure,
But now, because there's so much more stuff happening on
the Internet, I understand that it might not have the
same sort of impact. I know that as a consumer
and as a journalist, I don't want there to be
widespread consolidation of television stations because a less people have jobs.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
That's just the fact.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
And secondly, I think it hurts when there's no competition,
especially if in a news gathering perspective, because there's always
I think the benefit of trying to find story and
trying to get a scoop and scoop your competition ultimately
(16:07):
ends up with more people knowing more things, and I
think that's a good thing that we should have more of.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Ailing. Do you have any thoughts on this.
Speaker 8 (16:19):
I'm sorry, I was involved in other things. That's okay,
that's all right, But so you're talking about Netflix. I
do think there's definitely an antitrust issue here.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Yeah, I mean it.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Would it would seem to be that if you were
emerging the largest streaming service with another very large streaming
service that by eyeballs alone, you know, Amazon kind of
doesn't get to be Prime Videos number two. So you've
got one at Netflix number two. You've got Amazon Prime Video,
then you have three, You've got Warner Brothers, Discovery and HBO.
Speaker 8 (16:52):
And as an actor, you know, I do some acting.
I see from the actor's perspective. Also, it can very
much limit opportunities and even like if you do shows
like for Cable as opposed to like Networker, you know,
depending on who's doing them, you get paid less.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Yeah, and if there's fewer people. This is just how
it always goes with everything. The competition works on the
other side as well. As a viewer, you might be
having to pay more for a thing. But then as
someone who is like in Hollywood, someone who's making something
is being employed by the industry, If there's just one
company to go to, that means that there's going to
be not as many options. They don't have to compete
(17:29):
for your labor either, and if.
Speaker 8 (17:32):
They don't believe in putting the movies in.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
Theaters, you know, that's a that's a big deal.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
They say that they will, they say that they're going
to keep them in theaters. And I think that as
far as there is a world where ego is involved,
theaters will still happen because I think people get into Hollywood,
and especially since it's such an ego driven business in
order to I think, I don't think this is a
surprise to see their name in lights, to see their
name on the crawl, on the scroll.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
Yeah, and just the experience of being in the theater.
Speaker 9 (18:01):
You know, it's beat sitting on the couch, That's true.
Depends on what kind of couch you got. Who else, Well,
we I wanted to go.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
I wanted to talk a bit about this story, which
is just blowing my mind.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
I think it's so funny.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Gavin Newsom is involved in a leg crossing scandal, which
just shows how stupid everything has become.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Governor Newsom was.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Mercilessly trolled online earlier than the week after people thought
that his cross legged position was a little girly, was.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
A little famme. So what he was at the Oh,
it gets better.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
He was at the New York Times Deal Book Summit, which,
like you could not pay me to go to his office.
Was quick though, to respond after people said things like
his legs look like rubber, or how does any guy
anatomically sit like this? He's just crossing his legs.
Speaker 5 (19:01):
It's very European, by the way, for men to cross
their legs when they sit.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
When did this become what are we in?
Speaker 5 (19:07):
Like?
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Fourth grade?
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Are you were?
Speaker 4 (19:10):
Politics? It's European though.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Men in Europe sits with their legs crossed and they
wear speedos to go swimming.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Well, that will not do well.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
He will not bode well if he's going to try
to become the president for the Middle America with those
those legs crossed speedo tendencies.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
So he's got to get he's got to get this
figured out soon.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
I hope there's no speedo involved here too.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
He's fifty eight years old. By the way, did you
know that I didn't realize that he was that he
was he was? He doesn't he's almost six years old. Yeah.
So then his office posted in another photo, which was
I think either AI or CGI, where basically his legs
are It's the same photo, but instead of his legs
being crossed in front of his abdomen, they are crossed
(19:51):
above his head. His legs are sticking up in the
middle in the air, and his ankles are crossed by
his face. And then her hands are raised so that
his middle and like his hands are pressed into each
other like almost he's doing like a yogas.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
It is the weirdest thing ever.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
Sometimes AI is fun.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Sometimes it's fun. Uh So, I don't know. I never
thought about this. But here's a new Here's a new
thing that I can be worried about. Is if I'm
sitting to effeminately.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Sometimes you like to do that.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
It's so comfortable to put one knee over the other
and use you know, you can pull it, pull on
your on your knee with one hand.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
And sometimes girls like to man spread. It's all good.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
That was gonna say.
Speaker 8 (20:33):
That's the other side of the spectrum. I don't want
to see him man spreading either.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Yeah, no, I don't know. It's not good.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
I'm gonna ask Shannon Farren about this when she's uh
she calls in for the next segment. See if she
has any hot takes on. Governor knew some man spread
and or sitting like a lady. It's kfi am six
forty We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Thanks for being with us on this Sunday, December seventh.
So exciting this time of year, especially if you're a
fan of sports. If you're not a fan of sports,
this is a very hard time of year because it's
pretty much, especially when it comes to football, all that
anybody who's interested in football wants to talk about. But
that's okay because on the line we have someone who's
(21:21):
very interested in football from the Gary and Shannon Show
right here on KFI AM six forty and also the
KFI Chargers sideline reporter Shannon Farren joins us now via
the telephone.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
Good afternoon, friend, Hello Andy' I'm so happy to join you.
I'm so glad to be with you today. I'm a
big fan of yours.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Oh my goodness, me too, I mean you.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
I'm not a huge fan of myself necessarily, but I'm
a huge fan of yours. I've listened a lot and
I met you for the first time of the pastathon
last week, which by the way, raised so much money,
did so well. Congratulations to everybody who was a part
of that. That's a huge, A huge ding dong for sure.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
Isn't that insane? I mean, and they do it quietly.
And I say they because really it's Michelle Q. Kelly,
who's the executive producer at KFI that really puts all
of this together. But it's done so quietly every year
raising over a million dollars. It feels like at least
a five years, the last five years is over that
million dollar mark, and that's just incredible. You don't hear
(22:23):
about it a lot, but that's the best charity, right Like,
when you can do that good for people in your
own community, it's the way to kick off the season.
It feels good and it's just a nice way to
go into the holidays.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
That's a really good point that when you can see
a direct correlation between giving your money to a thing
and then it's actually happening feeding kids twenty five thousand
a week. I mean, that is such a huge deal
that I know makes a big difference, and it's because
of the incredible listeners here at KFI. So we are
so appreciative that you all donate. And you can still
donate of course to the Caterina's Club and some other
(22:56):
wonderful charities. There will never not take the money. I
think is what I have been told. Let's talk about football,
so I know that you football is not known to
really anyone because IU football has historically been very bad.
When I grew up in Indiana, we knew that it
was all about the basketball. I you Purdue, Bobby Knight
(23:17):
throwing the chairs. There was no lore about IU football
because nobody really cared. But man, oh Man a thirteen
in o season, first time winning the Big Ten championship
since I think nineteen forty five or something like that,
against none other than the Ohio State beat Penn State
beat Oregon. This is a huge, huge deal for the Hoosiers.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
I don't watch a lot of college football. I am
set on the NFL. My plate is full with the NFL.
But yesterday all anyone could talk about was this Ohio
State Indiana game. And I thought, God, I wish I cared,
And then I go, wait, I do care. I just
met any and he told me he went to Indiana.
I have a reason to watch this game. I've got
(24:04):
skin in the game. It's the first time that they
have beat Ohio State, like since what nineteen sixty seven
or something. Crazy like that, and so you know you're
rooting for them. I felt my heart went out for
that kicker, the Ohio State kicker, that is the fielding.
Is that his last day.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
It's a single worst thing that has ever happened in
his life and probably ever.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
Well, oh well, I said to my husband, I go,
there were two paths, because we're all in like the
holiday Christmas spirit season, right, and some of those Christmas
movies are very sliding doors, and I'm thinking to myself,
this is this is right. We're watching the divergent paths
of this kid's life. But he makes that kick. All
the boosters love him. He except for life, you know,
(24:45):
the whole bit. You could see his life playing out
before you. But because he missed the kick, suddenly I'm like,
he's at you know, Jack's Bar down the street in
smalltown Ohio, like where he's going to live forever. And
of course that's not going to be what happens. He'll
be fine. Now. My husband made a good point. He goes, well,
it's not like it was the kicker for Indiana. I said,
excellent point, and he went to Ohio State. He'll be fine,
(25:07):
He'll be just fine.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
You don't want to see an underdog choke in that situation.
But you love watching the person who always wins for
some reason screw up and then it doesn't happen. It's
funny because do you remember that you two And if
you don't, I don't blame you, because I think it
was a dreadful song. But it was called Stuck in
a Moment, and it essentially is that. The music video
is the premise of a kicker who misses a field
(25:30):
goal from like five yards and it was the game
winning field and he's like eighty years old going back
to the stadium, living through that light. And it doesn't
have a positive It doesn't it doesn't end positively. That's
the whole story. So I think about that a lot.
Let's talk about NFL, your true love Chargers playing tomorrow.
(25:50):
Justin Herbert, how is his hand doing because we know
that he broke his little hand there last week.
Speaker 5 (25:56):
Okay, so first of all, it's not little. His hand
is bigger than your soul. You have a large skull, Andy.
This is his kid is not just a kid. He's
six six, he's built like a brick out house. Yeah,
and he'll be just fine. Justin Herbert broke this hand,
or at least his middle finger, back in October twenty
twenty three when they're playing the Cowboys. What happened was
(26:17):
he got it tangled in one of the Cowboys helmets.
That sounds comfortable.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
That's that's how big his hands are. That he like
a fishing like a fishing expedition, is tangled in like
a rope. That's crazy, right.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
Right, So his hand has been mangled since then. He
has played with a variety of different machinations. They've gone
through when it comes to the training department and what
they have been able to do with that hand over
the past two seasons, they've kind of got it down.
He played with a splint for a while. He played
with those two fingers, the middle finger and the index
finger taped together. Whether those the middle finger the ring
(26:52):
thing taped together. They've tried all sorts of things. When
he heard his hand last week with the Raiders, he
came out with a mic Jackson white glove.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
It looked very cool.
Speaker 5 (27:02):
Yeah, yes, very cool. You always look cool. It wasn't
on the right hand, as Michael made it popular. It
was on his left hand, which means as his non
throwing hand, which means, yes, he can still play well.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Let's hope that that.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Is the extent the extent of his his Michael Michael
Jackson tendencies.
Speaker 5 (27:19):
Yeah, I don't think he has rhythm. I don't want
to just bespurtch Justin Herbert's rhythm. If it exists, I've
never seen it. I don't see that in his personalities.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
But adys and.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Beer is teaching him a two step or something.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
I think she's teaching I almost just said something that
was not nice. I don't know their personal life. She's
teaching him. I will say this to loosen up. This
is the loosest Justin Herbert. I have seen Field when
Tyrod Taylor was injected into his ribs and since two thousand,
I've never seen Justin Herbert play this loose and have
(27:54):
this much fun. Part of it is just that the
game has slowed down for him. Part of it is
that he is just having a good time. He's healthy.
Aside from this broken left hand that he should be
able to play with. You'll see a little bit less
right under center, Andy, but he'll be fine.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Yeah, I'm excited for them. I know that the upcoming
schedule is not a cake walk. So we definitely need
him to be healthy. As you know, I am a
big Chargers fan. I have been inducted into the Chargers
fandom by my significant other and it has been It
has been fun because they have been doing well. And
(28:30):
I will say that and leave that.
Speaker 5 (28:32):
I will tell you this. I will just tell you this,
don't have hope. Hope is a scary, scary thing. Have fun,
have fun. The Chargers are a fun team to watch.
They're much more fun than the Rams. They have all
the star power, justin Herbert. Make sure everybody eats out there.
You're going to see Lad McConkie, get balls, Keenan alan Q.
You're going to see all of the fireworks. Just just
(28:54):
protect yourself, is all I will say being a Chargers fan.
It's what I've learned in seven years. Totally protect your emotion.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
I was.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
I was at the Chargers game last year, Chargers Chiefs game,
which I should have known buying tickets to that would
have like why did I do that? You know, because
because my girlfriend's so into it that like she will
be devastated for two days afterwards, and just being a.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Chargers fan, you would think.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
And she's also a UCLA fan, so like you would
think eventually you'd be like, well, you're used to this, right,
But we were probably ten minutes left in the game,
and we're standing there and people just start leaving because
there's not you know, there's not a lot of hope.
And this guy walking up the stands next to us
is a full grown man in a Chargers jersey, a
fan who's crying. He's crying, yeah, and he goes, these
(29:40):
guys are just effin'.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Losers, ma'am. They're efin losers. And I was just like,
I was like, this is I don't know how I
ended up here, but this is fun. By the way,
what are you doing now?
Speaker 5 (29:51):
It feels good to have your heart broken. It makes
you feel alive.
Speaker 10 (29:54):
I love that.
Speaker 5 (29:55):
You know there are certain teams that'll do it for you.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Yes, absolutely, so for tomorrow. How are you getting ready?
What does the prep look like for you? Are you
doing suicide runs back and forth on the sideline?
Speaker 3 (30:07):
Are you lifting a microphone?
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Are you trying to do like a holding one ear
in the right in the right one hand rather in
the right ear so that you can hear out of
the left, Like, what's the prep like for you?
Speaker 5 (30:18):
You know, it's funny. I get so amped up for
this games like these games, like I am playing a
single down, I get so excited about adrenalin is like
one hundred and twenty miles per hour, and I have
to constantly remind myself not to get that fired up.
It is always a fun time. The adrenaline is always high.
When it's a primetime game. It's so far with the Chargers,
(30:42):
the fans really turn out. It's under the lights. It's
a Philadelphia, the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, who have
been kind of faltering. They're desperate. The Chargers are desperate
to maintain their wild card position. Here Denver looks like
I was watching Denver earlier. That defense is incredible. It
looks like Denver will win the division. We'll see anything
can happen. Still a lot of football left, but Chargers
(31:04):
want to hold on to where they're at in the
wild card positioning. And so it is going to be
the biggest headline coming into the game is o'mari and
Hampton is back. This is the Chargers running back that
was injured. I believe it was Week five, and so
Omarian Hampton has been the Jim Harbaugh, Greg Roman hope
for the season in terms of a solid, consistent run game.
(31:27):
Yes they're hurting on the line, Yes we've got We're
down a couple all pro tackles, but Omari and Hampton
and the way the run blocking has evolved could make
for a very huge win for the Chargers tomorrow night.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
I can't wait.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
We will be watching, of course, and listening here on
KFI AM six forty. Before we leave, I got to
tell you a funny quick story, which is that in
a know way overtime.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
So I'm sorry about this, but it's jan and fair
and everybody.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
When I was a kid and I lived in Indianapolis,
we had a house in Zionsville, Indiana. Doesn't that sound
like a place that would be in Indiana? And we
were trying to sell it and I think my parents
are getting divorced. I think so that they were probably
pretty or they were on the way, I don't know,
but we wanted to get rid of the house quickly.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
I won't bore you with my life story.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
But the then quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts put an
offer on the house and it was accepted, and that
man was, of course Jim Harbaugh. Wow, and before he
was able to buy it, he got drafted or trance
(32:33):
at that. He got he got he got relocated, I believe,
to Baltimore. So the deal fell through and Jim Harbaugh
did not buy our house.
Speaker 5 (32:42):
Oh wow, Andy, I'm going to have to tell him
that story. And I was to ask him if he
remembers the house he put an offer four on in Indianapolis,
and then I can tell him the whole story. The
only thing with Jim Harbaugh is you can't talk to
him for longer than seven seconds if it's not about football,
because he loses interest.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Well, maybe I'm sure he'd remember too, because and you know,
the worst thing is when you go up to a
famous person you're like, I know you don't remember this,
but I did this with you in that and then
be like, I don't.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
I don't know, Maan, that was thirty years ago.
Speaker 5 (33:09):
Well I'll have to pick my moment for that story.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
Yeah, well please get Wait.
Speaker 5 (33:14):
That's very cool. That's a coolie. That's a cool piece
of Andy family history.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
Isn't that fun?
Speaker 2 (33:19):
I know it was weird because I was like, I
know that name, and then my mom was like, oh no,
that was the guy who bought the house and then
they had to bail. So anyway, all right, Well, Shannon Farren,
thank you so much for colling. Really appreciate you. Great
to meet you in person, Great to have you on
the show. Please call back at your earliest convenience anytime.
Speaker 5 (33:38):
Andy, I'd love to be on your show anytime. You
have a good rest of the weekend.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
Thank you so much. Six forty relive everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 3 (33:52):
Got a talk back, Let's take a listen.
Speaker 5 (33:55):
About made meet Puke When Andy should that share was
coming on.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
Her at all? Well, we lost that listener. Whoops. Sorry.
I'm a huge fan of Shannon Ferrett.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
I think Shannon is incredible, great energy, always so knowledgeable,
maybe see and makes it look easy. That's the number
one thing about this is that I remember as a
kid thinking I want to do TV and I want
to do like talk shows and stuff like that, because
they look like they're having a fun time and it
looks easy. Just work for a couple hours and you
(34:31):
go home. It's easy, right, It's not easy. It is
so hard. It's so hard to be good and Gary
and Shannon, I mean everybody on this station. That's why
this is such an unbelievably cool place. But if you
can make this interesting, funny, smart for five minutes a week,
(34:53):
if you can do that for four hours a day,
five days a.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
Week, buddy, it's tough stuff. By the way, as we.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
Continue here through the show, want to talk about a
couple things coming up. The government can track your location,
but maybe not how you think. Plus, a search is
resuming for the Malaysian Airlines flight MH three seventy plane
that vanished back in twenty fourteen.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
That's interesting.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
And how about this, What is going on with Matthew
I'm not sorry, I'm not Matthew Lillard. What is going
on with Quentin Tarantino right now?
Speaker 3 (35:29):
He's so mad?
Speaker 2 (35:32):
He was on a podcast with Brett Easton Ellis just
talking smack about famous actors. Remember he said Paul Dano
was the weakest male actor in SAG.
Speaker 3 (35:45):
He was talking about there will be Blood.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
He also said he can't stand Owen Wilson, says he
doesn't care for Paul Dano, Owen Wilson or Matthew Lillard.
First of all, I am also so in SAG. So
Paul Dano is not the weakest male actor in SAG,
(36:09):
but Matthew Lillard now is reacting to it. And the
reason I wanted to do this story is because I
met Matthew Lillard last week. He was at Katla, but
he was talking to people at Galaxy con in Columbus,
Ohio on Friday. And of course he's been in Scream.
You might have seen him in Bosh. He's a journeyman actor.
He's been in all kinds of stuff, Scooby Doo. And
so somebody asked him what does he think about Quentin
(36:33):
Tarantino saying that.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
He doesn't like him. Matt says, I call him Matt.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
Quentin Tarantino this week said he didn't like me as
an actor, and then he says, ah, whatever, who cares.
But then he said, it actually hurts your feelings. It
effen sucks. He didn't say he said the full word.
He said, and you wouldn't say that to Tom Cruise,
you wouldn't say that to somebody who's a top line
actor in Hollywood. And then he said he's not given
(37:01):
the A list treatment outside the convention circuit, saying I'm.
Speaker 3 (37:04):
Very popular in this room.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
I'm not very popular in Hollywood, totally different microcosms, and
so you know, it's humbling and it hurts. And then
somebody shattered from the audience, we love you, and he said,
thank you. I think that that's so wild. He's such
a charming, seemingly very nice man. And when I ran
into him, you know, we're really lucky at Katie, like
we've got people coming in all the time. And I
(37:28):
popped in and I said hello, and I said, hey, man,
big fan, and I just it just blows your mind
because you look at somebody like that and you're like
that guy. Everybody knows him. Who doesn't like Matthew Lillard.
He's got these incredible franchises.
Speaker 3 (37:42):
He's been a part of.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
Scream and Scooby Doo. That's not a joke. I mean,
like kids like that show, grown Up, that movie grown Up.
And yet that kind of stuff still hurts.
Speaker 5 (37:55):
He has a reputation as being one of the nicest
actors in Hollywood as well.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
And that is a huge deal.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
And that matters because everybody knows if you're an a hole,
everybody finds out. It cannot be a weirdo in this
business without people knowing. People talk and they love to talk. Actually,
if you're a weirdo or you're you're an a holey,
the people would want to talk about you more.
Speaker 3 (38:21):
Maybe that's why they do it. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
What's happening down there in Malaysia. What a crazy thing.
Remember MH three seventy. Listen to a little bit of
this about what's going on now. We're looking for the
plane again.
Speaker 10 (38:35):
More than a decade after its disappearance, Malaysian authorities have
announced that the deep sea search for Malaysia Airlines flight
MH three seventy will resume. Here's what to know. The
Boeing seven seven seven flight disappeared without a trace on
March eighth, twenty fourteen, with two hundred and thirty nine
people on board a flight from Malaysia's capital, Kuala Lumpur
(38:57):
to Beijing. The pilot's radio call to ku La Lumpur,
good night Malaysian three seven zero was the final communication
before the plane crossed into Vietnamese airspace, where it failed
to check in with flight controllers. Its transponder, which broadcast
its location, shut down. Minutes later, military radar showed the
jet turned from its flight path and headed south to
(39:18):
the far southern Indian Ocean. Satellite data suggests it continued
flying for hours, possibly until fuel exhaustion, before crashing into
a remote section of the ocean.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
Still one of the strangest mysteries of all very weird.
We will get into why they are reopening the search
in the next hour plus. A message from viewer Kevin Daniels,
who said the woman ripping on Shannon Ferrin is simply
jealous of her. Shannon is a full ticket broadcaster. I
appreciate the note, Kevin. I'm not sure what full ticket means,
(39:50):
but I agree with you. Shannon's great. It's KFIAM six forty.
