Speaker 1: This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to kfi
Speaker 1: AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2: Gary and Shannon kfi AM six forty Live everywhere on
Speaker 2: the iHeartRadio app. Baseball season has started, of course. The
Speaker 2: Dodgers beat the Cubs last night, sorry early this morning
Speaker 2: in Japan to kick off the twenty twenty five regular season.
Speaker 3: It was four to one. Tani had a couple of hits.
Speaker 2: Morning guys.
Speaker 3: Hey, this is Johnny from San Diego.
Speaker 1: I was just thinking maybe we could have Amy King
Speaker 1: do any Dodger news, because I swear it sounds like
Speaker 1: you guys are reading an obituary every time you mentioned
Speaker 1: the Dodgers.
Speaker 3: All right, guys, have a good morning. Wait what why
Speaker 3: because we're down?
Speaker 1: Why are we down? We're talking about how great it
Speaker 1: is that baseball season has, right. I like the Dodgers.
Speaker 1: I was saying that it's a generational thing watching show.
Speaker 1: Hey Atani, ow, this is great. What are you talking about?
Speaker 1: Change your attitude?
Speaker 3: Would you?
Speaker 1: How about if I punch your face with my attitude?
Speaker 1: Remember how we sound so down? Gary started off the
Speaker 1: show talking about the Dodgers winning. Yes, a Giants fan to.
Speaker 3: Hold my breakfast down while everyone's doing it.
Speaker 1: Calm down. If you want to get more excited about
Speaker 1: the Dodgers, do it in your bathroom, Calm down. Well,
Speaker 1: I don't like it when people knock us for stuff
Speaker 1: that we don't get need to be knocked for. There's
Speaker 1: enough stuff that you can knock us for that wasn't
Speaker 1: one of them. All right, the snow White thing, we're
Speaker 1: getting a lot of feedback on that. Marian wrote it.
Speaker 1: She says the first controversy with snow White came when
Speaker 1: Peter dinklinch complained about the whole concept of dwarves living
Speaker 1: in a cave, that that's the basis of the movie, right,
Speaker 1: She said, This turkey has been on a downward spiral
Speaker 1: since the concept was announced in twenty twenty two, and
Speaker 1: then Jen said as well, I distinctly remember Peter Dinkline
Speaker 1: bitching a few years ago about dwarves being cast in
Speaker 1: dwarf roles as mythical creatures. So Disney tries to heed
Speaker 1: that criticism uses CGI and they still get backlash for it.
Speaker 1: I'm happy to see that true equality has been reached
Speaker 1: in the little people community, but they can be perpetually
Speaker 1: offended and disgruntled like every other person on the globe.
Speaker 3: Yeah, seriously, it's very true. It's time for swamp watch.
Speaker 4: I'm a politician, which means I'm a cheat and a liar,
Speaker 4: and when I'm not kissing babies, I'm stealing their lollipops. Yeah,
Speaker 4: we got. The real problem is that our leaders are done.
Speaker 1: The other side never quits.
Speaker 4: So what I'm not going anywhere so that you train
Speaker 4: the squad.
Speaker 3: I can imagine what can be and be unburdened by
Speaker 3: what has been.
Speaker 4: You know, Americans have always been gone at present, but
Speaker 4: they're not stupid.
Speaker 2: A political flunder is when a politician actually tells the truth.
Speaker 3: Whether people voted for you with not swamp watch, they're
Speaker 3: all countera.
Speaker 2: Well, this phone call that took place today between President
Speaker 2: Trump and the President Putin of Russia went on for
Speaker 2: a very long time, over an hour. They saw that
Speaker 2: it was this three hours like I mean somewhere who knows,
Speaker 2: but it was a very long phone call.
Speaker 1: Putin a Putin and Trump apparently agreed to seek a
Speaker 1: limited ceasefire against energy and infrastructure targets in this Russia
Speaker 1: Ukraine war. The White House has spun this or described
Speaker 1: it as a first step and a movement to peace,
Speaker 1: which will eventually, they say, include a maritime ceasefire in
Speaker 1: the Black Sea and a full and lasting and the fighting.
Speaker 1: They say negotiations will begin immediately on that.
Speaker 2: They also talked about the Middle East as a region
Speaker 2: of potential cooperation to prevent future conflicts in that area.
Speaker 2: They talked about the need to stop proliferation of strategic weapons,
Speaker 2: so I mean a lot of things were on the table.
Speaker 2: The two leaders did share the view that Iran should
Speaker 2: never be in a position to destroy Israel, which was interesting.
Speaker 2: Now the Kremlin has put out a short statement and
Speaker 2: said that Putin does support the idea of Ukraine and
Speaker 2: Russia not attacking energy infrastructure for thirty days, that the
Speaker 2: negotiations concerning the safety of the shipping in the Black
Speaker 2: Sea will begin, that on March nineteenth, Russia and Ukraine
Speaker 2: will exchange one hundred and seventy five prisoners of war
Speaker 2: and twenty three seriously injured Ukrainian sources that are soldiers
Speaker 2: sorry that are being treated in Russia will be transferred.
Speaker 2: And the Kremlin has demanded no more mobilization or rearmament
Speaker 2: from Ukraine during the thirty day ceasefire. We can't backfill
Speaker 2: some of the weapons that we have been providing them. Earlier,
Speaker 2: the Kremlin had suggested that a couple of the points
Speaker 2: that they wanted would be that, you know, no rearming
Speaker 2: during a ceasefire, but also that there would be no
Speaker 2: European peacekeepers on the ground in Ukraine as a result
Speaker 2: of this ceasefire, and whatever comes next, whatever the next
Speaker 2: step would be.
Speaker 1: In other swamp news, President Trump called for the impeachm
Speaker 1: of a judge who issued orders blocking his plan to
Speaker 1: port alleged members of that Venezuelan gang from our country.
Speaker 2: Republican congressman out of Texas has already introduced the impeachment
Speaker 2: articles against that judge.
Speaker 1: In a rare move, Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts
Speaker 1: said publicly impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement
Speaker 1: concerning a judicial decision. John Roberts raising his hand, saying,
Speaker 1: I am the adult in the room, and this is
Speaker 1: not how we settle this argument. Very rare for the
Speaker 1: Chief Justice to weigh in on something like this political discourse,
Speaker 1: especially on social media, but the way that things have
Speaker 1: been going with his administration, he may have to show
Speaker 1: what he's thinking, his thinking on the matter, because sometimes
Speaker 1: Trump they don't wait for things. So I want the
Speaker 1: government to continue. The government will continue. I want this
Speaker 1: will get me an executive order sheet.
Speaker 2: And this is just a basic misunderstanding of how our
Speaker 2: government has been set up. I mean, anybody in any
Speaker 2: kid constitutional law class, I don't think they care.
Speaker 3: They don't care.
Speaker 2: And it's Trump wrote on truth social in all caps.
Speaker 2: He didn't win anything. He's referring to the judge. He
Speaker 2: didn't win anything. I won for many reasons in an
Speaker 2: overwhelming mandate, but fighting illegal immigration may have been the
Speaker 2: number one reason for this historic victory. Now all of
Speaker 2: that is very true, but just him winning an election
Speaker 2: does not mean that he gets to do whatever he wants,
Speaker 2: or that whatever mandate he feels has been he's been
Speaker 2: given goes without checks and balances. That's never been the
Speaker 2: way that our country has run. Do I agree with
Speaker 2: the judges.
Speaker 3: Ruling, I don't know.
Speaker 2: But it's not my job to It's the judge's job
Speaker 2: to invoke some sort of mechanism in the judicial judicial
Speaker 2: branch to keep an eye on what's going on in
Speaker 2: the executive branch. And John Roberts is saying, this is
Speaker 2: exactly the way it's supposed to work. The judge is
Speaker 2: supposed to be able to do this, and then the
Speaker 2: process of judicial review. It goes from the district court,
Speaker 2: it goes up to an appeals court, it goes to
Speaker 2: the Supreme Court if necessary. And then John, I call
Speaker 2: him John, Yeah, says you know, my friends and I
Speaker 2: will take a look at this thing and make a
Speaker 2: decision because that's what the constitution says we're supposed.
Speaker 3: To be doing.
Speaker 1: I like beer thing because he said you and him
Speaker 1: and his friends, his friend Brett, and I was thinking
Speaker 1: Brett Kavanaugh, and I know he likes spears, so I
Speaker 1: was thinking of them having beers and talking about all
Speaker 1: of this.
Speaker 2: I don't know if they do that together, not while
Speaker 2: they're talking about their cases.
Speaker 3: I wonder if I.
Speaker 1: Think that you hold judge is a higher regards they
Speaker 1: really sit at.
Speaker 2: But I mean in the Supreme Court world. I know
Speaker 2: that they have some strange bedfellows that Vader Ginsburg and
Speaker 2: Anton and Scalia were really good friends outside of the
Speaker 2: courthouse itself.
Speaker 1: He also like Doiley neck flourishes.
Speaker 3: The feminine Dicky.
Speaker 1: I still want to know what went on with antonin
Speaker 1: Scalia's death. I still think there's something that we don't
Speaker 1: know yet.
Speaker 3: I don't think there's anything there.
Speaker 1: I know you've never played into my fan fiction on that.
Speaker 2: We were asking what you think you would want after
Speaker 2: you get back from space for being up there for
Speaker 2: eight months?
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're in, Shannon. What I would do.
Speaker 3: I would hug both my kids, both my girls, and
Speaker 3: love on them and tell them that I will never
Speaker 3: go to space again. Oh that's nice.
Speaker 4: Cookers and cocaine.
Speaker 1: Hookers and cocaine also great right off the.
Speaker 2: Day, hyar, If I was thinking space when I came back,
Speaker 2: I would drink a hazy ipa blowed out. You can't
Speaker 2: really crack a window in the International Space das.
Speaker 1: I was going to make the joke because I didn't
Speaker 1: think he was going to and then he just took
Speaker 1: it all the way there to the goal line.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he appreciate that.
Speaker 4: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 4: AM six forty.
Speaker 3: Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1: Are those almonds they are? That's very healthy?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 1: No, I just that's a really healthy snack. I wish
Speaker 1: I was an almond person, I'm not unless they're drenched
Speaker 1: and chocolate. My mother and my husband both enjoy snacking
Speaker 1: on almonds, as to you, and it's.
Speaker 2: Not the tippy top when it comes to nut choices.
Speaker 2: What's your top?
Speaker 3: Cashews?
Speaker 1: Me too.
Speaker 2: I love a cashew, but I've realized that olemonds are
Speaker 2: a lot more better for environmentally friendly?
Speaker 3: Oh, labor friendly?
Speaker 1: Is it the little women that have to under shell
Speaker 1: your cashiers? Yes, I didn't even know about that until
Speaker 1: you told me. Yeah, and I've forgotten about it every
Speaker 1: time I eat them, which is because.
Speaker 2: The taste is so good it is. There's a new
Speaker 2: statistic from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. At least five
Speaker 2: percent of the American workforce has a second job, a
Speaker 2: record high of approximately eight point nine million Americans stated
Speaker 2: that they work multiple jobs. That's the highest rate since
Speaker 2: April of two thousand and nine. I like that idea.
Speaker 2: I've always I've always loved the idea of having more
Speaker 2: than one job. Because I think you were making the
Speaker 2: joke about one sport kids like and how it's not healthy.
Speaker 2: I feel like that is also true when it comes
Speaker 2: to mental totally awareness stimulation. That sort like you should
Speaker 2: do multiple things so that your brain doesn't get, you know,
Speaker 2: singularly focused.
Speaker 3: It's not necessarily good for it.
Speaker 1: I've noticed that I'm happy when I do the work thing,
Speaker 1: but then also do a moving the body thing, whether
Speaker 1: it's just taking a walk or working out or whatever
Speaker 1: the hell. It is a creative thing, whether it's like
Speaker 1: cooking or something with your hands. I guess if you're
Speaker 1: a dude, you know the relaxing thing, the reading thing,
Speaker 1: the right right, Mike, my husband tried to cook a
Speaker 1: chicken last night.
Speaker 2: I think that what you meant to say was your
Speaker 2: husband cooked a chicken.
Speaker 1: No, that's not what that was. That was a freaking
Speaker 1: crime scene. That poor chicken gave its life for that,
Speaker 1: and I.
Speaker 2: Didn't eat it. Did you respond this way to your husband?
Speaker 2: I should tried to make you a dinner?
Speaker 1: What happened?
Speaker 3: What was wrong with it?
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. I wouldn't say it. No, I won't,
Speaker 1: I won't.
Speaker 3: Was it undercooked?
Speaker 1: It was burned and undercooked. Okay, this was burned, but
Speaker 1: it was undercooked inside. It was a disaster, which made
Speaker 1: me feel.
Speaker 3: Better about going out to eat.
Speaker 1: It's just it's funny because a roast chicken.
Speaker 3: Is why guys don't cook. This is why.
Speaker 1: He's really good at everything on the grill.
Speaker 3: Did you tell him he was doing it wrong?
Speaker 1: Now? I wasn't even hot. I came home to see
Speaker 1: this crime scene. And usually he downplays like he does
Speaker 1: everything so well that like if he says something's a mess,
Speaker 1: usually he's just downplaying it and it's perfect. But he's like,
Speaker 1: I burnt, like this is a mess. And I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: come on, I'm like opening the foil expecting to see
Speaker 1: a perfectly brown No, it was a disaster. Thanks for
Speaker 1: getting me in trouble. Now, hey, I'm glad you guys
Speaker 1: have spare bedrooms over about six thirty for dinner.
Speaker 3: I don't cook chicken.
Speaker 1: So target is in trouble. I've noticed this for a while.
Speaker 1: I love a target. I am the person that these
Speaker 1: people layout in Business Insider. Here's how the article starts.
Speaker 1: There are a few activities more delightful than getting a
Speaker 1: little wine drunk and hitting up the local target to
Speaker 1: go treasure hunting. A men love that activity, with wine,
Speaker 1: without wine whatever. I love to just get into a
Speaker 1: target with maybe the idea that I need something like
Speaker 1: a saucepan or something like that and ending up finding
Speaker 1: like self care things or you know whatever. I've realized
Speaker 1: in recent times that going to Target is not as
Speaker 1: much fun as it used to be. And they drilled
Speaker 1: down on this pretty well, and I hadn't realized it.
Speaker 1: But they do point out that for the past couple years,
Speaker 1: Target has found itself at the center of culture wars,
Speaker 1: drawing the ire of conservatives and progressives alike. But it's
Speaker 1: kind of a political statement. They don't know who they are.
Speaker 1: They're kind of in search of an identity. Do we
Speaker 1: want to be body positive forward? Do we want to
Speaker 1: be political with what we're showcasing? Do we want to
Speaker 1: be DEI all of the things that they're trying to
Speaker 1: figure out when it's you just go into Target to
Speaker 1: escape all that. I go into Target just to like
Speaker 1: overspend and not think about real life and think that's
Speaker 1: part of Target's beauty and you're going to go in
Speaker 1: there and be hit over the head with all that.
Speaker 1: When I started thinking about it, I was like, ohh,
Speaker 1: I do see how they're kind of going through an
Speaker 1: identity crisis. As I'm thinking about different parts of the
Speaker 1: store and my issue with different parts of the store.
Speaker 2: I've all never understood this about retail, retail outlets and
Speaker 2: even restaurants, think just Starbucks is what comes to mind,
Speaker 2: even even Tesla, whatever Tesla's dealing with right now, because
Speaker 2: of Elon Musk. In the event that an agent a company,
Speaker 2: it says to its board members or its planners or whatever, Hey,
Speaker 2: we're gonna get into We're gonna we're gonna make a
Speaker 2: political statement, whatever political statement that might be.
Speaker 3: It seems to me like the.
Speaker 2: Less politics you deal with, especially when you're product doesn't
Speaker 2: have anything to do with politics. The less political you get,
Speaker 2: the more consistent your your bottom line. You're gonna make
Speaker 2: money as long as you have a good product, or
Speaker 2: in targets case, they have thousands of good like as
Speaker 2: long as you have a good selection, and there's a
Speaker 2: but the moment you start dipping your toe into the
Speaker 2: waters of this is what makes our diversity is our
Speaker 2: strength at target well, and it's our team members are
Speaker 2: better than yours. Like it just doesn't make a lot
Speaker 2: of sense.
Speaker 1: It's kind of playing into where we find ourselves today.
Speaker 1: You know, I remember, for as long as I had
Speaker 1: a brain that works, that you don't talk about politics.
Speaker 1: It's just one of the social rules in life. You
Speaker 1: don't talk about politics, and you don't talk about religion
Speaker 1: unless you're maybe at church or what have you, because you.
Speaker 3: May not come down.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you want to talk about religion, church might
Speaker 2: be a place to do that.
Speaker 1: But you know what I mean, Like, you don't go
Speaker 1: to a friend's house and be like, now, Jesus, right, right,
Speaker 1: do you really believe it? Like you know what in
Speaker 1: the arc unless.
Speaker 2: You don't know that, unless you know that person believes
Speaker 2: what you believe.
Speaker 1: Exactly or some or it's receptive to it or what
Speaker 1: have you. But just leave that stuff out because that's
Speaker 1: not part of the social experience. And now I mean
Speaker 1: everything is politics, and people that you've never heard their politics,
Speaker 1: you're hearing their politics. And now companies are getting into it,
Speaker 1: and it's like there's a reason why you just and
Speaker 1: now it's all and now it's a free for all
Speaker 1: out there politically in terms of political decorum and speech
Speaker 1: and conversation. And it's a mess because we stopped following
Speaker 1: the basic rules of hey, let's just keep it in
Speaker 1: the ring.
Speaker 2: Let's and nobody I don't think anybody thinks of it way.
Speaker 2: But are we better off? Because we're more political in
Speaker 2: our speech. I don't think so.
Speaker 1: And if that was the thought process behind it, I
Speaker 1: think we're learning why we are not.
Speaker 2: I mean, listen, however, you come down on Elon Musk
Speaker 2: like you thought he was great, you bought his cars
Speaker 2: because you thought you were saving the environment, whatever, and
Speaker 2: now you hate him because he's teamed up with Donald
Speaker 2: Trump and you want to vandalize his cars and carve
Speaker 2: swastikas into them and throw Molotov cocktails into them like
Speaker 2: they did in Vegas.
Speaker 3: Okay, but do you think.
Speaker 2: That the heads of Ford and GM or God Forbid,
Speaker 2: BMW or Volkswagen, you think those guys are scott free
Speaker 2: when it comes to living a clean life and not
Speaker 2: hating things like, oh, I don't know Jewish people, something
Speaker 2: like that. I mean the idea that you're gonna now,
Speaker 2: because we're in such a politically polarized world, going to
Speaker 2: take one guy's ideas even if you misunderstand them, and
Speaker 2: then vandalize their cars or to develop a boycott against Testagon.
Speaker 1: Here's the other thing with Elon Musk. He supported Hillary
Speaker 1: and Barack Obama and Joe Biden. He's always considered him.
Speaker 1: If if you were going to talk about Elon Musk.
Speaker 1: He's been a libertarian, he has not been a maga
Speaker 1: guy from Go Right. So I mean the idea that
Speaker 1: you're going to turn your back on thought that evolves
Speaker 1: one way or the other. I know people that were
Speaker 1: Democrats became Republicans, became Democrats again, vice versa. Thoughts evolve
Speaker 1: as you move through life.
Speaker 3: It's also to hate something.
Speaker 1: You're gonna buy the Tesla and then you want to
Speaker 1: sell the Tesla just because of this person's ideology at
Speaker 1: this particular point in their life makes no freaking sense.
Speaker 2: Do you buy a vehicle like that to tell everybody
Speaker 2: what your politics are? Get a T shirt, buy a
Speaker 2: bumper stick, or do something, do something else? But don't
Speaker 2: And then Mark Kelly, I think the astronaut turned senator
Speaker 2: who's now giving up his Tesla because he doesn't want like,
Speaker 2: what statement does that make you? I'm so sorry that
Speaker 2: you have to give up your hundred thousand dollars Tesla
Speaker 2: to buy some other one hundred thousand dollars car.
Speaker 3: That's very relatable.
Speaker 1: What I'm hoping in his case is that he happened
Speaker 1: to get rid of the Tesla for whatever reason and
Speaker 1: someone said where'd your tesla go? And he's like, oh,
Speaker 1: I got rid of it, And then it became a
Speaker 1: headline in a story.
Speaker 2: No, he made a whole video about it, standing in
Speaker 2: front of his car, talking about I'm giving up.
Speaker 3: On the Lord.
Speaker 1: Oh wow. We're very self important in Washington, are we not?
Speaker 1: Everyone cares what you drive speaking you don't even drive
Speaker 1: your car if you live in DC.
Speaker 2: Tell us what you would get the very first thing
Speaker 2: you would want to do or eat or have right
Speaker 2: when you come back from space after eight months.
Speaker 4: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 4: AM six forty.
Speaker 2: Garyan Shannon I Am six forty Live everywhere on the
Speaker 2: iHeartRadio app. Big story, of course, today is this conversation
Speaker 2: that took place between President Trump and President Putin. They
Speaker 2: have apparently agreed to seek a limited ceasefire against energy
Speaker 2: and infrastructure targets in the war between Russia and Ukraine.
Speaker 2: The White House described this call today as the first
Speaker 2: step in a movement to peace. They hope it will
Speaker 2: eventually include a Maritimes ceasefire in the Black Sea, a
Speaker 2: full and lasting end to the fighting there.
Speaker 1: What's going on at the Department of Justice may sound
Speaker 1: a lot sexier than what you're doing at work right now,
Speaker 1: but it probably isn't. A Department of Justice ordering some
Speaker 1: of its attorneys to review records related to the assassination
Speaker 1: of JFK. Trump said the files are said to be
Speaker 1: released to the public today, some eighty thousand files, according
Speaker 1: to Reuter's DOJ said all lawyers who handled national security
Speaker 1: measures will review between four hundred and five hundred documents each.
Speaker 1: Trump said that yesterday at the Kennedy Center, about eighty thousand,
Speaker 1: as I mentioned, would be released pages.
Speaker 2: The US still loves the French. The French bulldog that
Speaker 2: waz a very different breed has been chasing dog lover's hearts.
Speaker 2: The controversial Frenchie tops the AKC's annual rundown of the
Speaker 2: nation's most prevalent purebred dogs. Next Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers,
Speaker 2: German shepherds, Poodles, They said. The one that has gained
Speaker 2: the most in terms of the standing the Cane Corso
Speaker 2: what is that? Gigantic very protective dogs.
Speaker 3: Do you remember there was a woman.
Speaker 2: Who was killed by her neighbor's dogs up in San Francisco. Oh, yes,
Speaker 2: and they were cane corsos. Remember they vaulted it from
Speaker 2: forty seventh to fourteenth in just one decade.
Speaker 1: So Happy Gilmour two is coming up.

Speaker 3: It is what it is.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, you just named everybody who does
Speaker 2: who has a cameo in it, so you you kind
Speaker 2: of know who's coming. But we'll talk about these two
Speaker 2: minute tea V shows. Have you heard of microdrama or
Speaker 2: a vertical drama?
Speaker 1: I have not.
Speaker 2: So there are shows that are now being produced specifically
Speaker 2: to exist on TikTok and reel is.
Speaker 1: This because we have pea brains that cannot handle twenty
Speaker 1: two minutes.
Speaker 2: Our parents warned us about this thirty forty years ago,
Speaker 2: when MTV was a fact, that this is where we would.
Speaker 1: And this is where we are now.
Speaker 3: Where we are now, Oh my god, talk about that
Speaker 3: we come back.
Speaker 1: It's very sad.
Speaker 4: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 4: AM six forty.
Speaker 1: You know what, you should open up a facility where
Speaker 1: you get botox and xanax.
Speaker 3: I'm not going to push either one of those things.
Speaker 3: If people want to do that, then they can do it.
Speaker 1: People want to poison their bodies, then they can do it.
Speaker 3: On their own time, do it on their own time. Oh,
Speaker 3: your facility entail bacon wrapped mushrooms.
Speaker 1: Oh listen, just because you don't like mushrooms doesn't mean
Speaker 1: other people don't dill light in them.
Speaker 2: Mine would just have a single, large, good quality television
Speaker 2: showing a baseball game your facility.
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, so you would provide a couch in baseball?
Speaker 3: No, you can stand.
Speaker 2: Oh, if it's that important to you, you'll deal with
Speaker 2: the uncomfortability.
Speaker 1: I can to charge for this spa day. Oh I
Speaker 1: didn't realize it was a spa, that I was a business.
Speaker 1: You think the people that give away botox and xanax
Speaker 1: do it for free, say that all you need is
Speaker 1: to bring.
Speaker 3: In a can of soup.
Speaker 1: Oh that's nice.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: You're running a soup kitchen now with a TV.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what we do, very profitable.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: True Crime Tuesday comes up at the bottom of next hour,
Speaker 2: and there are a couple there's a very weird story
Speaker 2: about those researchers, researchers that are now trapped in Antarctica.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, okay, that's a strange I.
Speaker 1: Started reading about that yesterday and kind of forgot about it.
Speaker 1: I saw it again today and I was like, oh.
Speaker 2: It reminded me a tiny bit of True Detective Night Country,
Speaker 2: the Jody Foster of season, which was just they just
Speaker 2: came out last year I think it was or at
Speaker 2: the end of twenty three. And then the only Fans
Speaker 2: Fetish murder story, which is you know, weird thing.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, and if you're into the fetish world. And
Speaker 1: again no judgment here, only you can judge these curious.
Speaker 1: I'm curious, but you have to believe that you're if
Speaker 1: you're into the fetish world. There is a degree of
Speaker 1: danger if you're gonna take that fetish on the street,
Speaker 1: Like if you're gonna pedal your fetish, or you're gonna
Speaker 1: pay for your fetish to happen. There's a degree of
Speaker 1: danger in that world. I'm not gonna call it a
Speaker 1: CD underworld. I'm gonna call it a different world.
Speaker 3: You just don't know how deep that pool.
Speaker 1: Right, If you're paying me to meet me at a
Speaker 1: Day's inn in Glendale, right to look at my toes
Speaker 1: and dress them up and play puppets with them, there's
Speaker 1: a chance that I could kill you. Well, what do
Speaker 1: you think fetishes are toe puppets?
Speaker 3: Okay? I mean it's not as weird?
Speaker 1: Is what this thought about dressing up toes like little puppets?
Speaker 3: I don't know. Your face was something I rarely see.
Speaker 1: It was total shock.
Speaker 2: And horror because I didn't know if you were being
Speaker 2: honest or not like that you've had dreams of doing that, Well,
Speaker 2: there goes any shot of me wearing sandals around here?
Speaker 1: Are too harry?
Speaker 2: My eyes are up here all right. Stop looking at
Speaker 2: my feet, you weirdo. There's a TV show called Breaking
Speaker 2: the Ice. TV might not necessarily even be the There's
Speaker 2: a show called Breaking the Ice dramatic chees. There's deception,
Speaker 2: there's betrayal. It's exactly what you would think national superstar,
Speaker 2: high school sweetheart from a hockey player, small town hockey player.
Speaker 2: He can never find out that he has a daughter
Speaker 2: like this all goes into name your drama, the Hallmark movie,
Speaker 2: whatever you want. The thing is it's in one hundred
Speaker 2: and thirty two seconds per episode. That's just over two minutes.
Speaker 2: This is perfect for a TikTok brain, a real brain.
Speaker 2: Some of the episodes, by the way of this, Breaking
Speaker 2: the Ice have generated two hundred and seventy million views.
Speaker 2: Shannon swis Good's a thirty one year old mom out
Speaker 2: of South Carolina. She says, oh my gosh, I have
Speaker 2: to know how this ends. Shows like this are called
Speaker 2: micro dramas. They're called vertical dramas, and they appear to
Speaker 2: be reminiscent of soap operas or the telenovellas, but they're
Speaker 2: typically divided up into instead of you know, twenty two
Speaker 2: episodes like they used to be, or thirteen episodes like
Speaker 2: they are predominantly now, fifty to one hundred tiny chapters
Speaker 2: and The way that they make money on this is
Speaker 2: you don't get to see the next chapter until you
Speaker 2: watch an ad, or you pay per episode, or you
Speaker 2: sign up for the unlimited viewing, which is another subscription.
Speaker 1: Basically makes sense.
Speaker 3: For example, it's a kind of the way we watch
Speaker 3: shows a lot.
Speaker 1: Of the time.
Speaker 2: Shannon pays two hundred dollars the annual fee to Real Short,
Speaker 2: this company for the continuous access to stuff of romance novels,
Speaker 2: all of these episodes that she likes, and she says
Speaker 2: that her husband likes to tease her for watching her
Speaker 2: dirty little shows, but she says they're filling a void
Speaker 2: among the streaming networks.
Speaker 3: Here's this is the quote.
Speaker 2: I don't feel like the streamers are coming out with
Speaker 2: anything that appeals to the demographic I'm in again, thirty
Speaker 2: one year old mom. Instead of sitting down and trying
Speaker 2: another show about someone solving a crime, I can pull
Speaker 2: up Real Short and just watch two people fall in love.
Speaker 1: That's sweet.
Speaker 2: No, No, it's a it's a laziness on Shannon's part.
Speaker 1: What do you want her to do?
Speaker 2: Uh, look at any one of the fifty million streaming
Speaker 2: services that are out there and find a show to.
Speaker 1: Find a rom com, find a rom com. But if
Speaker 1: she was going to devote, you said she's a mom
Speaker 1: of three. Isn't it better that she's devoting two minutes
Speaker 1: instead of two hours?
Speaker 3: You think she's gonna stop at two minutes?
Speaker 1: Why are you yell?
Speaker 2: Because she already paid the two hundred dollars for unlimited
Speaker 2: continuous access to this thing. She's not one of those
Speaker 2: that's it's down for two minutes. She may have a thing,
Speaker 2: you know, she may have a thing for romance.
Speaker 3: We tried to do this before.
Speaker 2: We America tried to do this before with the company
Speaker 2: called Quibi. Do you remember that Meg Whitman was a
Speaker 2: part of it. Jeffrey Katzenberg was a part of it
Speaker 2: that lasted about seven months.
Speaker 1: All I remember about Meg Whitman is when they John
Speaker 1: and Ken brought her in here in her big pearl
Speaker 1: necklace and destroyed her. And I had to sit there
Speaker 1: through it and watch and it was it was hard
Speaker 1: to watch.
Speaker 3: And you didn't offer her any comfort at all.
Speaker 1: No, she wasn't. She was a sturdy woman.
Speaker 3: She didn't seem like the woman that would take comes.
Speaker 1: She was not a shrinking violet. She did not need
Speaker 1: any help, but she did get destroyed.
