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. Hurricane Milton, Guys, is a five
Speaker 1: now major five category storm, one hundred and sixty miles
Speaker 1: per hour sustained wins. They do believe it will de
Speaker 1: intensify by the time it hits Florida on Wednesday, but
Speaker 1: it's going to rea peach peak intensity tomorrow morning. If
Speaker 1: you're not at peak intensity at a five, what does
Speaker 1: that mean.
Speaker 2: Five plus five plus I guess I don't know. We're
Speaker 2: never going to go to the green zone. I saw
Speaker 2: there is no green. There is no green.
Speaker 3: I saw an ABC meteorologist this morning who suggested we
Speaker 3: need new we need a new scale. Basically, yeah, that
Speaker 3: the storms like this are going to be more frequent
Speaker 3: and they're going to be even stronger.
Speaker 2: So it is a category five.
Speaker 3: And to give you an idea of how quickly this
Speaker 3: thing intensified this morning, at four hour time, they upgraded
Speaker 3: it from a category two to a three, two hours
Speaker 3: later from a three to a four, and then three
Speaker 3: hours after that, just before nine o'clock here, they upped
Speaker 3: it from a category four to a category five.
Speaker 1: Fifteen million people under flood watches, eleven million at risk
Speaker 1: for tropical tornadoes tomorrow and Wednesday. They expect this thing
Speaker 1: to make landfall Wednesday from six pm Eastern to midnight
Speaker 1: as a strong category three. Wow.
Speaker 3: This is Governor Ron DeSantis. He again has been busy
Speaker 3: for the last couple of weeks with hurricane prep and
Speaker 3: hurricane recovery, now hurricane prep again.
Speaker 4: The executive order that I signed over the weekend also
Speaker 4: orders all disaster to breed management sites in landfills to
Speaker 4: be open twenty four to seven. In the lead up
Speaker 4: to Hurricane Milton, we had a lot of debris left
Speaker 4: from Hurricane Helene on Florida's Gulf Coast. That creates a
Speaker 4: huge hazard if you have a major hurricane hit in
Speaker 4: that area.
Speaker 3: This week, they also reiterated that the greatest risk from
Speaker 3: this storm, the greatest risk from Helene, at least early on,
Speaker 3: especially along the coast, was the storm surge.
Speaker 2: It's not exactly clear yet.
Speaker 3: It'll be a couple of days before we know exactly
Speaker 3: where the center of the hurricane is going to make landfall.
Speaker 3: The worst surge is just south of the eye of
Speaker 3: the hurricane. And places they're already suggesting could see eight
Speaker 3: to twelve foot storm surges.
Speaker 1: The response to Hurricane Helene has been criticized. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of talk about North Carolina being a state that
Speaker 1: carries Republicans, that Trump had North Carolina handily in twenty twenty,
Speaker 1: and will these people have access to ballots to voting
Speaker 1: with all of the with all of the the back
Speaker 1: not the backlash, but all the aftermath from Hurricane Helene,
Speaker 1: and the fact that maybe Biden administration not doing enough
Speaker 1: and is there any sort of thought process behind they're
Speaker 1: not doing enough because they want to suppress the vote.
Speaker 2: A lot of that talk going on.
Speaker 1: Biden went there on Friday to look at the damage
Speaker 1: and did not know what he was doing. It's really
Speaker 1: and I'm not trying to be cute, I'm not trying
Speaker 1: to be rude.
Speaker 2: He did not know.
Speaker 1: When asked, what did you think about the storm damage
Speaker 1: and the storm zone, he said, which storm are you
Speaker 1: talking about? After he had just toured in the helicopter
Speaker 1: the storm damage from Helene.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not a good not a good look. No.
Speaker 1: So the widespread damage that Helene caused is everywhere, right,
Speaker 1: It's on all your news channels. It's on all of
Speaker 1: the publications online. The pictures are horrific, the before and after.
Speaker 1: Their research and rescue teams still going in over the
Speaker 1: weekend to get people cut off because the roads were
Speaker 1: washed away. The president on Friday took a helicopter tour
Speaker 1: of the area. Upon landing, was asked by a reporter,
Speaker 1: what did you see? What do they need? And he
Speaker 1: said something to the effect of, what's the story talking?
Speaker 2: What storm? The states the storm zone need a president?
Speaker 2: What are the states in the storm zone?
Speaker 4: What do they need?
Speaker 2: What you saw today? How on the storm zone? Yeah, sure,
Speaker 2: I'm going what storms dolving?
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, they getting everything they need. Oh, they're very
Speaker 3: happy off the board.
Speaker 2: They're very happy across the board.
Speaker 1: First of all, he had just getting off the hell
Speaker 1: the helicopter's still moving, yes, right, And the reporter's like,
Speaker 1: what do the people in the storm zone need?
Speaker 2: The storm? The storm zone? What? I don't know what
Speaker 2: storm you're talking about.
Speaker 1: I mean, you can't listen to that and think that
Speaker 1: this is somebody who is fit for any office. He's
Speaker 1: not fit for city council. Not to put down the
Speaker 1: people of Laverne. I was just trying to pick a
Speaker 1: local small town, but you know what I mean Like that,
Speaker 1: that's troubling to me. And then to say they're happy
Speaker 1: across the board when you look at that devastation, the
Speaker 1: people that have been cut off without food or water
Speaker 1: or power, no cell phones.
Speaker 2: Are they happy? Yeah? That's that I think is probably
Speaker 2: the minimize. Here's the thing.
Speaker 3: If you're FEMA, if you're on the ground and you
Speaker 3: are you have some say in controlling an event like that,
Speaker 3: where the president comes in and sees what FEMA is doing,
Speaker 3: et cetera, et cetera. You're going to grab the people
Speaker 3: who have either gotten the first checks or they've gotten
Speaker 3: assistance or water, food or whatever it is transportation, they've
Speaker 3: gotten it from FEMA.
Speaker 2: That's who you're going to have talked to the president.
Speaker 3: So, yes, the president talk to people who are probably
Speaker 3: happy that with the assistance that they've gotten. But it
Speaker 3: sounds like the vast majority of people who are impacted
Speaker 3: by this, and to use their term way up in
Speaker 3: the hollers, they are not happy. Part now, part of
Speaker 3: it is the government is not designed to handle that
Speaker 3: kind of spread out devastation.
Speaker 2: We're just not The government's not good at that.
Speaker 3: That's why we've been doing stories about the successful rescue efforts,
Speaker 3: the successful repopulation efforts of private citizens who can manipulate,
Speaker 3: who can maneuver small spaces like that.
Speaker 1: I don't expect the president to fix everything in the
Speaker 1: wake of a storm. President Bush got hell after Katrina. Right.
Speaker 1: It's because it's not the fact that they can't fix
Speaker 1: everything right away, because to your point, it's just too
Speaker 1: widespread and what's one person going to do And there's
Speaker 1: only so quickly. They can only move so quickly when
Speaker 1: you look at FEMA and resources and things like that.
Speaker 1: But you've got to be able to talk articulately about
Speaker 1: what is going on and understanding that there is widespread
Speaker 1: damage and that this is you've got to be in
Speaker 1: it for the long haul.
Speaker 2: You've got to be able to vocalize that. And that's
Speaker 2: where I'm upset.
Speaker 3: The other thing that appears to be happening, just based
Speaker 3: on reports that have come out social media posts, news stories,
Speaker 3: is that the government, and whether it's FEMA on the
Speaker 3: national level sometimes at a state level, the government agencies
Speaker 3: don't know how to liaise with private citizens who want
Speaker 3: to help out. Think of one of the greatest stories
Speaker 3: that came out of Hurricane Katrina was the Cajun Navy. Yes,
Speaker 3: one of those guys that come through with swamp boats
Speaker 3: and other kinds of boats, and they were going through
Speaker 3: and helping rescue people.
Speaker 2: But at the time there was no real way.
Speaker 3: They had to develop their own way to communicate with
Speaker 3: the government agencies who may have had the information, all
Speaker 3: the information about where people were trapped, but couldn't maneuver
Speaker 3: their own troops to get there. Then you have to
Speaker 3: have this, you know, this interaction between the Cajun Navy
Speaker 3: and the National Guard or whoever was in charge, to say, okay,
Speaker 3: you guys go here, we got this one. You take
Speaker 3: that ward, We'll take that ward. It seems like that
Speaker 3: lesson was not learned from Hurricane Katrina. That you've got
Speaker 3: all of these private citizens who are capable, willing, dying
Speaker 3: to help out, but are being told to stand down
Speaker 3: because the government has to whatever has to control the airspace,
Speaker 3: has to control the traffic, has to do all that
Speaker 3: sort of stuff. That's going to be I mean, if
Speaker 3: that is true, that's one of the nightmare scenarios that
Speaker 3: they can't figure out.
Speaker 1: Another narrative that's going to come out. Was preparation was
Speaker 1: enough done before the storm?
Speaker 2: Yeah? And how do you get We knew it was
Speaker 2: going to be awful.
Speaker 1: I mean all the forecasts were said that this unsurvivable, remember, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it was for a lot of people.
Speaker 3: When Helene came through, there were stories or images of
Speaker 3: the number of utility trucks that were lined up power
Speaker 3: utility trucks, I mean football field's worth of utility trucks
Speaker 3: parked and waiting for that storm to roll through.
Speaker 2: They knew that they were going to be called on
Speaker 2: right away. This whole FEMA story, Is this any credence
Speaker 2: to this at all?
Speaker 3: So there's FEMA has all the money it wants, right
Speaker 3: because it's the emergency management agency.
Speaker 2: All they have to do is go to Congress and
Speaker 2: get money. That's it. And there's no one in Congress.
Speaker 2: I shouldn't say no one.
Speaker 3: There are very few people in Congress who would not
Speaker 3: unleash money to hurricane survivors like this to help them
Speaker 3: rebuild and get back on their feet. But there's a
Speaker 3: lot that's been made. FEMA also does give money to migrants.
Speaker 3: FEMA does help what basically was a disaster along the
Speaker 3: southern border for the last few years. So there right
Speaker 3: now they're running out of the regular allocation. But it
Speaker 3: doesn't mean they can't go get more.
Speaker 2: Okay, got it? Okay, So the whole FEMA there's not
Speaker 2: enough money because it's going to migrants.
Speaker 3: Narrative is erroneous, erroneous, But they also need to know
Speaker 3: that this is a pr disaster that they're looking at.
Speaker 3: They better immediately go to Congress and get some more money.
Speaker 3: Two climbers, one American one British, were rescued from a
Speaker 3: mountain in the Himalayas after being stranded for three nights
Speaker 3: at twenty thousand feet. These two climbers, Michelle Devorak and
Speaker 3: fay manors, Oh, you're.
Speaker 2: Thinking that women shouldn't hike. Now, I know what you're thinking.
Speaker 2: That's all I'm saying. I could hear it in your voice.
Speaker 2: I didn't say that I heard it.
Speaker 3: They were rescued by Indian rescu rescuers in a helicopter
Speaker 3: after an earlier tenth on Friday.
Speaker 1: The Indian rescuer, Oh, Indian, because a Himalaya is For
Speaker 1: a minute, there, I thought you were being racist, No
Speaker 1: and sexist. No, I.
Speaker 3: Why would I hide behind a story if I was
Speaker 3: just going to show my true colors. They were on
Speaker 3: Chuakamba three in the Atara Khand Range. I guess they
Speaker 3: had to be pointed out by another climbing team that
Speaker 3: was already on the mountain. A French team knew where
Speaker 3: they were. So these two women said that a falling
Speaker 3: raw severed the rope to their luggage that they were
Speaker 3: towing behind them, and the luggage equipment had the food,
Speaker 3: all the climbing equipment and everything. It fell into a ravine.
Speaker 3: So they were stuck up there for three.
Speaker 2: Days with no men to save them. That is a
Speaker 2: good point. I never thought of that anyewa. I'd bring
Speaker 2: it around for you. Thank you.
Speaker 1: The Supreme Court kicks off its new term today. It's
Speaker 1: always the first Monday in October, is that correct, something
Speaker 1: of that nature.
Speaker 2: First Monday in October.
Speaker 1: So they are going to be taking the bench for
Speaker 1: the first time since they handed down those massive decisions
Speaker 1: guns abortion, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 3: The biggest concern is not necessarily those cases that are
Speaker 3: already on the docket.
Speaker 2: It's the ones that could come up. They're talking about.
Speaker 3: The Supreme Court likely having a role in whatever election
Speaker 3: results we get after November fifth, which is m embarrassing.
Speaker 2: Well, they're gonna fight.
Speaker 1: Whoever loses is going to fight that thing to them now,
Speaker 1: because that's just where we're at. Lgbt Q rights are
Speaker 1: on the table. Age verification for porn on the table.
Speaker 1: Something's got to be done about that, which part the
Speaker 1: proliferation of porn and being kids access to it.
Speaker 2: Here's the bag. There's the cat long out of there.
Speaker 1: I know, but yeah, I kind of like guns, right,
Speaker 1: cats out of the bag. There's we're so saturated with
Speaker 1: guns and porn. Anybody wants to do anything about.
Speaker 2: It is screwed. Just distract us and we with the porn,
Speaker 2: and then you could take the guns away, is it.
Speaker 1: No, I'm saying that you can't do anything really about
Speaker 1: guns because it is so far out of the bag.
Speaker 2: Right, the same thing with the porn, I think. Okay,
Speaker 2: there's a.
Speaker 3: Weird aspect that separates the two of those though in
Speaker 3: that I think the porn aspect of it hits a
Speaker 3: different center in our brain. I mean, there's a weirdly
Speaker 3: animalistic lizard brain reaction to images like.
Speaker 1: That, Yes, and it changes the way that normal human
Speaker 1: interactions are made. I mean, I have a girlfriend whose
Speaker 1: son is twelve, and it terrifies her what he sees. Now,
Speaker 1: she's not as strict as you were, which I support
Speaker 1: wholeheartedly when it comes to when you can have your phone,
Speaker 1: having your phone in your room and all of that.
Speaker 1: I'm not a judger, I'm not a parent, But she
Speaker 1: terrifies her what he has seen, you know, and he'll say, like,
Speaker 1: I think I saw something that I shouldn't see, and
Speaker 1: you know, she'll check it out or what have you,
Speaker 1: and she's terrified. And that's going to change the way
Speaker 1: he interacts with girls as he gets into puberty and
Speaker 1: beyond well and what he expects in all of that.
Speaker 1: And this is just one kid, you know. It's it's
Speaker 1: not that it's a new thing.
Speaker 2: I mean we grew up with, but it's it's but
Speaker 2: it's so easy.
Speaker 1: Available, easily, and it escalated it, you know when we
Speaker 1: were kids, like I would see my dad's Playboy magazine
Speaker 1: or whatever, and that was one that was like what
Speaker 1: porn was for for kids, right, I mean porn for kids,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Like your exposure, your exposure.
Speaker 3: To it was very your first time is usually some
Speaker 3: very air brushed somebody on a.
Speaker 1: Beach, right, and now it's like midgets and wizards and
Speaker 1: all sorts of weird things.
Speaker 2: What did you do this weekend? No, I'm just saying
Speaker 2: that from what she was telling me, what she found
Speaker 2: was like weird. Oh wait, so she has found stuff
Speaker 2: on her kids phone. She's still listen. I want to
Speaker 2: have her call me. I don't know. We're not judging that.
Speaker 2: This is I will judge if you don't mind.
Speaker 1: I don't judge people whose shoes I have not walked in.
Speaker 1: I haven't had a kid, So two degrees of separation
Speaker 1: you can judge.
Speaker 2: Okay, But but you're right. The legal quest of that house,
Speaker 2: she has since put controls on the phone and like
Speaker 2: monitored it. So it sent the sun to a monastery.
Speaker 2: Oh man, I do not envy people with kids growing
Speaker 2: up with these things.
Speaker 3: The legal aspect of it, though, is where where the
Speaker 3: Supreme Court is going to have to get involved with that?
Speaker 2: That is a good.
Speaker 3: That's a whole discussion. That whole thing is a because
Speaker 3: you're right, it is not the same. It is not
Speaker 3: it's like not the right analogy. It's like our food, Yeah,
Speaker 3: our food now is not what it was fifty years ago.
Speaker 3: Look at the pictures exactly what the pictures of the.
Speaker 1: Of people in nineteen fifty five and the people in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, Right, we don't look the same.
Speaker 3: Like I don't know, Huntington Beach is in nineteen sixty
Speaker 3: seven versus Huntington Beach in twenty twenty four. What do
Speaker 3: you want me to change a different beach, Manhattan Beach.
Speaker 3: I don't I don't care.
Speaker 1: It's a problem everywhere from coast to coast, Galveston. We're
Speaker 1: upset and never mind, no, no, I wanted to go
Speaker 1: with that is speaking of and what We're just very unhealthy.
Speaker 1: We're at a very unhealthy place.
Speaker 2: Yes, I think you'd begins set on this. Today begins
Speaker 2: change Today begins change. Sure, you and I are going
Speaker 2: to enact change, make people healthy. I only had a
Speaker 2: cup and a half of coffee today.
Speaker 3: Hurricane watches have been issued for basically the entire state
Speaker 3: of Florida, most of the west coast there Florida, including
Speaker 3: the entire Tampa area, ahead of Hurricane Milton, which just
Speaker 3: about an hour ago was upgraded to a Category five hurricane.
Speaker 3: It is not expected to be a five when it
Speaker 3: makes landfall sometime Wednesday, probably, but it will still be
Speaker 3: one of the larger storms to make landfall in Florida
Speaker 3: in recent history. Tropical storm watches are in effect for
Speaker 3: much of Florida's Gulf Coast, including the Big Bend area,
Speaker 3: which was the site of Hurricane Helene's landfall less than
Speaker 3: two weeks ago. The Harris Walls campaign is getting an
Speaker 3: interview mode kind of. Kamala Harris does an interview with
Speaker 3: sixty Minutes broadcast tonight. Yeah, she was on the Call
Speaker 3: Her Daddy podcast that was released yesterday.
Speaker 1: Can I just say that this was a massive blind
Speaker 1: spot for me, this Call Her Daddy podcast. Apparently it's
Speaker 1: number two in popularity behind Joe Rogan's podcast.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I had never heard of it before. I'm
Speaker 2: out of touch.
Speaker 3: Alex Cooper is the host of you. Is Alex Cooper
Speaker 3: the host of Call Her Daddy? Is there anything a median? Okay,
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't so it's.
Speaker 1: Usually what I was seeing from the backlashes. It's usually
Speaker 1: kind of fun, raunchy podcast, female driven go on. And
Speaker 1: this was political and she gave Kamala Harris a pass,
Speaker 1: and there was some of her people that did not
Speaker 1: like that.
Speaker 2: That's what I've gathered, and she said she doesn't usually
Speaker 2: do this.
Speaker 3: She said she had a lot of I listened to
Speaker 3: the whole thing this morning because I was curious about
Speaker 3: a the podcast and be what kind of questions she
Speaker 3: would pose to the vice president. She said that she
Speaker 3: was never really a political person, but felt like she
Speaker 3: needed to have this conversation for women and there were
Speaker 3: issues that were surrounding abortion, sexual assault.
Speaker 2: Is it usually a funny podcast, light fare? I think so.
Speaker 3: It's called an advice and comedy podcast, Okay, And she
Speaker 3: referred to again, I've never heard any of them before.
Speaker 2: Why would you go political and risk that? I mean,
Speaker 2: I guess she did it for she felt she was.
Speaker 3: Motivated and listen, it's also the first time that for
Speaker 3: a lot of people they've even heard of what the
Speaker 3: podcast is. So for as many people as she may
Speaker 3: lose for taking a political stance, I mean, clearly having
Speaker 3: the vice president on is a political stance.
Speaker 2: I'll probably give it a listen now that I know
Speaker 2: it's number two and popular hilarity, just to see what
Speaker 2: it's all about.
Speaker 3: I just don't think this is indicative of what the
Speaker 3: rest of what the regular podcast?
Speaker 2: No, I know, I'll go back and listen to another.
Speaker 2: But they you know, they talked about her family.
Speaker 3: They talked about having kids and having step kids but
Speaker 3: not your own kids.
Speaker 2: Does that make a difference? Does that matter at all?
Speaker 3: So, I mean, it was an interesting conversation, and to
Speaker 3: be honest, Kamala Harris didn't do the word salad thing
Speaker 3: very much, which should I think was a good move
Speaker 3: for her, except the very first question basically was you
Speaker 3: don't do a lot of interviews, why are you on
Speaker 3: my podcast? And the answer was kind of like, well,
Speaker 3: I feel like this is and you are doing it
Speaker 3: right and you're talking about the issues and the things.
Speaker 3: That was the that was and that's the clip they
Speaker 3: kind of made its way around yesterday, was that answer.
Speaker 3: But it was the probably the sloppiest answer.
Speaker 2: That she had in the whole thing. Okay, is it
Speaker 2: worth a listen?
Speaker 3: I didn't learn anything if that's what you're asking. But again,
Speaker 3: she was probably one of her better interviews. But she's
Speaker 3: on sixty Minutes today. She has interviews scheduled with Stephen Colbert,
Speaker 3: Howard Stern and the Ladies from the View, Tim Wallas
Speaker 3: is going to be on Jimmy Kimmel Live tonight.
Speaker 1: I believe the sixty minutes is tonight tonight, not Sunday. No,
Speaker 1: I don't know why is it sixty minutes on Sunday
Speaker 1: as usually? Maybe it'll just be a portion of it
Speaker 1: tonight and then the rest of it.
Speaker 2: Okay, people getting divorced? Can can you imagine?
Speaker 1: It? Sounds like a freaking nightmare? Which part being single
Speaker 1: in your fifties or sixties, oh, and wanting to redesign
Speaker 1: your life for however they put it in this article
Speaker 1: here they find that these separations are more common than.
Speaker 2: Ever before Gray divorce.
Speaker 1: They call it dissolutions of marriages occurring among adults.
Speaker 2: Older than fifty. I listen, they've.
Speaker 1: Doubled between nineteen ninety in twenty ten and these days,
Speaker 1: thirty six percent of adults who get divorced in this
Speaker 1: country are fifty and older.
Speaker 3: Wow, Is it just because you get tired of dealing
Speaker 3: with that same person? I would be this is this
Speaker 3: is what I think.
Speaker 2: What do you think you're gonna find?
Speaker 3: Well, I don't even necessarily think it's like that. You're
Speaker 3: looking for the next thing. You're just trying to get
Speaker 3: out of whatever situation you're in. Every situation is different.
Speaker 3: And I didn't have a lot of divorce in my
Speaker 3: family most of them me neither a lot of. I
Speaker 3: mean we had some some like aunts and cousins and
Speaker 3: things like that. But I would have been so angry
Speaker 3: at my parents if they got divorced after that, I
Speaker 3: mean at any point, but I mean the older that
Speaker 3: they got, I would have been so angry why And
Speaker 3: I don't know, but I saw this story today and
Speaker 3: I just thought, if my parents did that, I'd be
Speaker 3: so pissed off at them.
Speaker 2: And I know that every Listen, every situation is different.
Speaker 3: Maybe mom was never happy, maybe Dad was never happy,
Speaker 3: she cheated on him, he cheated or whatever.
Speaker 2: But for the kids, you stay together, you can hold
Speaker 2: it together. And again I don't I don't know what
Speaker 2: that is. I at least acknowledge.
Speaker 1: I don't benefit analysis of will your kids be happier
Speaker 1: with you or your spouse being unhappy or in a
Speaker 1: bad place or what have you?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 1: And like what damage are you doing to your kids
Speaker 1: to stay in something that is dating unhealthy? Unhealthy, yeah,
Speaker 1: dangerous and unhealthy, satisfying if you're unhappy.
Speaker 2: That's one thing I don't know.
Speaker 1: What is the detriment to a child growing up with
Speaker 1: a parent who is very unhappy or two parents who
Speaker 1: are very unhappy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: They use the example of this woman, Ronda Gibson Willis Well.
Speaker 1: First of all, she hyphenated her name red flag.
Speaker 2: Just kidding.
Speaker 1: And they say that they had the house, they had
Speaker 1: the kids, they had domestic equity, they shared all the
Speaker 1: child rearing, the household responsibilities, but Ronda felt like she
Speaker 1: wasn't her husband's priority. They got along perfectly, but she
Speaker 1: didn't feel like she was a priority. Ronda, I would
Speaker 1: tell you to stay in that marriage. That's a fleeting
Speaker 1: That is a fleeting feeling to not feel like a priority.
Speaker 1: You're not always going to be the number one priority.
Speaker 3: And that's that's an issue I think that isn't talked
Speaker 3: about too much. There are absolutely perfectly acceptable reasons for
Speaker 3: people to get divorced. There are situations that would absolutely
Speaker 3: dictate it, and I would support it one hundred percent.
Speaker 3: But why not put a just a quick speed bump
Speaker 3: in there. Maybe there is something that you can do
Speaker 3: to work it out. Maybe there is you know this,
Speaker 3: you know the fleeting feelings that you that you describe
Speaker 3: can be fixed, can be worked on. But I mean, granted,
Speaker 3: you got to both do it, and you gotta work
Speaker 3: on it, But the idea, there's an Elise Joscelyn Elise Crowley,
Speaker 3: professor of public Policy at Rutgers, said that she interviewed
Speaker 3: dozens of these gray divorcee men said they wanted to
Speaker 3: end their marriage because they grew apart from their spouse,
Speaker 3: their spouse cheated, they had different financial views, their spouse's
Speaker 3: mental health issues cropped up, or they had disagreements about
Speaker 3: their children. For women, the top motivators cheating their spouse's addiction,
Speaker 3: whether it was pornography or alcohol, maybe both, emotional abuse
Speaker 3: growing apart and their.
Speaker 2: Spouses mental health issues.
Speaker 3: Surprising, both sides say that it's their mental health issues.
Speaker 2: Are video games is still a problem in marriages.
Speaker 1: I remember that being a thing like ten fifteen years ago,
Speaker 1: guys addicted to, you know, playing video games all night.
Speaker 2: I don't know, is that still a thing. I don't know.
Speaker 3: I just become so ubiquitous, I guess people don't. I mean,
Speaker 3: my son was telling me a story last night where
Speaker 3: he was sitting and watch a movie on the couch
Speaker 3: with his roommates and then go into his room and
Speaker 3: turn on his Xbox and play a game until he
Speaker 3: I'll sleep or whatever.
Speaker 2: And I just think that's so exhausting. It hurts my
Speaker 2: head to think about doing that.
Speaker 1: I have this weird feeling when I see an adult
Speaker 1: male playing a video game. Like my brother was playing
Speaker 1: a video game on his phone the other day and
Speaker 1: I was just like, Ugh, what are you doing.
Speaker 3: You're fifty years old. I'm just gonna say, me doing
Speaker 3: it's on your dating profile. I'm pretty good at League
Speaker 3: of Legends.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I don't even know what a game. Hey,
Speaker 2: And if you are into that, cool, cool, cool, but
Speaker 2: keep it to yourself. Don't do that in public. Like
Speaker 2: my brother in law, he'll play like some sort of
Speaker 2: form of candy crush on his phone. I'm like, what
Speaker 2: are you doing?
Speaker 1: You're an adult male or an adult female. I guess
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's your thing. Cool, but I
Speaker 1: wouldn't be out in public. Quit. I know.
Speaker 2: That's awful. Rough weekend, It was not.
Speaker 1: It was a very peaceful weekend. I watched a lot
Speaker 1: of foot I watched football from six point thirty to
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers crapped all over themselves, and I
Speaker 1: couldn't even bring myself to watch the evening game because
Speaker 1: I was just so.
Speaker 2: It was such a winnable game. It was such a.
Speaker 1: Winnable game, but stumbling Cardinals team, come on, lock it up.
Speaker 2: And then I had ballet, so that was, yeah, I did.
Speaker 2: You've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 3: You can always hear us live on KFI AM six
Speaker 3: forty nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday,
Speaker 3: and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
