Speaker 1: This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to kf
Speaker 1: I AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
Speaker 1: demand on the iHeartRadio apps.
Speaker 2: Time for swamp Watch.
Speaker 3: Swamp is horrible, The government doesn't work.
Speaker 4: Good man, gonna make this like a reality TV show,
Speaker 4: bad news.
Speaker 2: Always a pleasure to be anywhere from Washington.
Speaker 4: D C.
Speaker 5: Hey, Joey a town hall who clearly built on a
Speaker 5: swamp and in so many ways still a swamp.
Speaker 2: That a bunch of my workee.
Speaker 1: Body said the swamp.
Speaker 2: I said, Oh, that's so.
Speaker 6: You know the thing.
Speaker 5: I want to play a few more of these because
Speaker 5: they're they're getting good. These are people calling in and
Speaker 5: we talked about this poll that came out that said
Speaker 5: so many Gary.
Speaker 7: Shannon, Hey, hang on.
Speaker 8: Regarding your subject on losing friends for over political stuff.
Speaker 8: I used to be in radio in San Diego and
Speaker 8: my boss but a really good friend of mine for
Speaker 8: over twenty years, because of the last election with Trump,
Speaker 8: and I was voting for Trump and he didn't think
Speaker 8: I should. And I'm gay, so he really didn't think
Speaker 8: I should. So he basically dumped me as a friend
Speaker 8: and we haven't talked since. It's kind of a bummer,
Speaker 8: have a good day.
Speaker 2: Reach out to him.
Speaker 1: I feel like this has more to do with this
Speaker 1: particular candidate that like Trump means more to people who
Speaker 1: hate him than just political leaning. Like this is not
Speaker 1: about his policies, it's about who he is. And I
Speaker 1: think if people some people think, if you are going
Speaker 1: to give that guy your vote, then then you're signing
Speaker 1: off on all of the things that he is, not
Speaker 1: just his politics.
Speaker 2: Right, or his character and his willingness to be.
Speaker 9: I don't think.
Speaker 1: I don't think people felt I don't feel like democrats
Speaker 1: felt like this with George w Did they?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't kind of remember that there were we.
Speaker 1: Kind of remember that people really democrats really thought he
Speaker 1: was evil, like that he was evil. And now you now,
Speaker 1: I bet you'd love to have him back.
Speaker 2: It's exactly.
Speaker 6: You know, none of the people I associate with we
Speaker 6: never talk politics at all. It just doesn't come up.
Speaker 6: And then Shannon, there's a hole in your deodorant story
Speaker 6: because you said you look like the giants and you
Speaker 6: had to change your top, So it means you didn't
Speaker 6: have your deoderant on on the first top in the
Speaker 6: first change until come on. Now, let's come clean.
Speaker 2: No, that was I did. Why that's a hole in
Speaker 2: the story.
Speaker 3: I think he's thinking that I put I.
Speaker 2: Deodorant on the shirt before you put it on.
Speaker 1: That I don't know, but I you know, we've talked
Speaker 1: about it extensively off the air. I put my deodorant
Speaker 1: on at different times in the morning. Yeah, you like
Speaker 1: to mix it up. Yeah, sometimes before the shirt, sometimes
Speaker 1: it's after the shirt.
Speaker 5: Sometimes you put it on your shoulder instead of your
Speaker 5: arm pass Sometimes I just put h.
Speaker 10: Gary and Shannon. There have been some strained relationships, some
Speaker 10: very close to me strained relationships, and I've lost friends
Speaker 10: over it. You know, within the family, they're strained because
Speaker 10: we don't agree. I've actually lost friends for not being
Speaker 10: anti Trump enough, which is interesting. And I've had strained
Speaker 10: relationships within my close by family over elections. So I
Speaker 10: try not to do it. But what are you going
Speaker 10: to do?
Speaker 5: I do think that's an important point that you make
Speaker 5: about it may be specifically this candidate. Yeah, the things
Speaker 5: that he brings to it are so off putting for
Speaker 5: some people that others are willing to overlook.
Speaker 1: And the thing that I would say to take into
Speaker 1: consideration with that is, he's just open about it.
Speaker 3: We know all of his dirty details.
Speaker 1: There are politicians that we have had where you have
Speaker 1: not had such an open book.
Speaker 3: I use JFK as an example.
Speaker 1: JFK was not a good human, ran around on his wife,
Speaker 1: passed around Marilyn Monroe with this family, like the Kennedy's
Speaker 1: are a great example, like the crowning jewel of the
Speaker 1: Democratic Party. This family, there's a lot of dirty details
Speaker 1: about that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, on the surface, they were yeah.
Speaker 1: Right, So it's like, yes, yes, Trump can be classified
Speaker 1: as not a great person, but most politicians who rise
Speaker 1: to this level are not wholly clean and wonderful and
Speaker 1: above board.
Speaker 2: We just happened to know his skeleton.
Speaker 3: We just happened to.
Speaker 7: Hey, Gary and Channon, Happy Friday.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 7: The topic of the whole political thing with friends and
Speaker 7: family is really a bummer. My brother is over the
Speaker 7: top with his political beliefs and thinks that he can
Speaker 7: just beat his opinion into everybody, and I had to
Speaker 7: cut him off for my own sanity. And it's really sad. Anyway,
Speaker 7: don't do that.
Speaker 5: Guys.
Speaker 2: Love each other, Yeah, love each other.
Speaker 5: That is an interesting point because there's you lose so
Speaker 5: much of the logical back and forth. We talked before
Speaker 5: about that CBS interview with Tony da Kopple and Tana
Speaker 5: Yashi Coats, if I'm saying it anywhere close to how
Speaker 5: he pronounces his name, and that it was an aggressive
Speaker 5: line of questioning on Tony d. Kopple's part, but it
Speaker 5: wasn't responded to with aggression on Coates's part.
Speaker 1: Now he had a thoughtful response. It was a thoughtful
Speaker 1: and it was a thoughtful part. It was an awkward conversation,
Speaker 1: but they were having it. Yeah, and they didn't make
Speaker 1: it awkward though, they just kept it not personal.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that is a huge difference.
Speaker 9: Hey, Gari and Shannon talking about politics and friendships, I've
Speaker 9: kind of stayed away from one of my good friends
Speaker 9: because every time something anything happens, politics has brought up.
Speaker 9: I like discussing it, but I found that he's very
Speaker 9: closed off, one sided, very far to one side of.
Speaker 2: The political spectrum.
Speaker 9: So maybe it'll we'll get back together as better friends
Speaker 9: after the election than season is over.
Speaker 2: You know, play you guys, Happy Pratt, thank you, love to.
Speaker 1: Part of it is that as human it is our
Speaker 1: condition to when we're communicating with each other find likeness.
Speaker 1: It's just the way we are. Find your similarities. Sure,
Speaker 1: that's just a human, very human thing. And if you
Speaker 1: don't find those similarities with whatever you're talking about, it's
Speaker 1: uncomfortable as a human. Just down to our basics, right,
Speaker 1: because to survive you've got to have a team. You
Speaker 1: got to have a team most of the time.
Speaker 11: Yeah, Hi, Gary and Shannon, it's Pick and Glendale. And
Speaker 11: I default to Thomas Jefferson when he said, I have
Speaker 11: never considered a difference in politics, religion, or philosophy as
Speaker 11: reason for withdrawing from a friend.
Speaker 2: It's funny.
Speaker 5: When my dad and I would get together, we didn't
Speaker 5: This is may surprise you.
Speaker 2: We didn't say a lot. There wasn't a lot.
Speaker 5: I mean, the conversations that we have never revolved around politics,
Speaker 5: no ever. And I don't know if it's it. He
Speaker 5: didn't want to hear it. I didn't want to hear it.
Speaker 5: We just never talked about politics, not one.
Speaker 1: That's what sports are for kids, That's what football season
Speaker 1: is for. In the great words of Sammy Kershaw, politics, religion,
Speaker 1: and her can't talk about any of those.
Speaker 5: I just saw Vice President Harris answering some questions for
Speaker 5: the first time that I can remember in months from reporters.
Speaker 5: She's in Houston getting ready for her big rally today
Speaker 5: with Beyonce and Willie Nelson.
Speaker 3: Is it weird that they're both in Texas? Trump and Austin.
Speaker 2: Very weird that they're both in Texas?
Speaker 3: Was that by design?
Speaker 5: I don't think so, But it's weird because they don't
Speaker 5: have to be there. Your time is valuable right now,
Speaker 5: Why are you going to states where you're not the
Speaker 5: outcome is not in question? She says that she's there
Speaker 5: to talk about abortion. She's also there to help the
Speaker 5: congressman who is running against Senator Ted Cruz. I remember
Speaker 5: his name right away. Trump is in Austin to talk
Speaker 5: about immigration. That a perfect backdrop for him to talk
Speaker 5: about that. The question is why would the campaign for
Speaker 5: Harris put her in Texas when that's an issue that
Speaker 5: I mean, Texas is at the forefront of the immigration
Speaker 5: issue and she scores very low on that issue.
Speaker 2: Why go there and to talk about abortion?
Speaker 1: They put right, yes, I mean there are to be
Speaker 1: combative about it.
Speaker 2: She is, and she's that's why she's there.
Speaker 5: She wants to point out that she doesn't want America
Speaker 5: to become Texas when it comes to abortion law. But
Speaker 5: also Trump is going to be there and say he
Speaker 5: doesn't want America to become Texas when it comes to
Speaker 5: the immigration problem.
Speaker 1: Biden, by the way, Joe Biden is in Arizona today.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was.
Speaker 5: He was doing a big apology. We talked a little
Speaker 5: bit about that yesterday, an apology for the taking of
Speaker 5: Native children and putting them in schools, trying to mainstream
Speaker 5: them that have resulted in horrific abuse in some cases.
Speaker 5: I think there were a couple few hundred deaths that
Speaker 5: were associated with.
Speaker 3: That whole ugly chapter.
Speaker 5: Bad, very bad. A couple of things that are going
Speaker 5: on in terms of most recent news. The La Times
Speaker 5: back in September said they weren't going to endorse anybody
Speaker 5: in the presidential race. The Washington Post came out today
Speaker 5: and said the same thing, that the newspaper is getting
Speaker 5: out of the business of endorsing candidates in presidential elections.
Speaker 5: They said that even though this one is probably or
Speaker 5: arguably one of the most important elections of the century,
Speaker 5: they said the exact same thing back in nineteen sixty
Speaker 5: and realized that some of that rhetoric is coming around
Speaker 5: to haunt them, spose, And then The New York Times
Speaker 5: just put up a story a short time ago that
Speaker 5: said Chinese hackers are believed to have burrowed into American
Speaker 5: communications networks, targeting phones used by former President Trump and
Speaker 5: Senator JD.
Speaker 2: Vance.
Speaker 5: They're trying to figure out if which communications, if any,
Speaker 5: were taken or observed by this sophisticated hack of these
Speaker 5: telecom systems. The type of information on phones used by
Speaker 5: a presidential candidate could be something like who they call,
Speaker 5: who they text, how often they communicate with certain people,
Speaker 5: how long they talk to those people. And they said
Speaker 5: that that kind of information could be highly valuable to
Speaker 5: an adversary like China. This sort of communications data that
Speaker 5: could be even more useful if they could observe it
Speaker 5: in real time, if somehow they were able to see
Speaker 5: exactly what was going on. You mentioned this the comment
Speaker 5: about word salad. Sometimes Kamala Harris gets in this, She
Speaker 5: gets caught up in trying to over explain things and
Speaker 5: loses people.
Speaker 3: I don't find it to be that.
Speaker 1: I find it hurt for her to be answering a
Speaker 1: question just for the sake of answering the question. But
Speaker 1: saying nothing. That's a nuh yeah. That works ocause I
Speaker 1: like when I talk to people about things that I
Speaker 1: don't fully grasp, whether it be plumbing or finances, I
Speaker 1: find it to be an over You're explaining something to
Speaker 1: me in great detail that I don't have the bandwidth
Speaker 1: four right.
Speaker 3: That's not how I feel when she talks.
Speaker 1: I feel like she says many, many words, but nothing,
Speaker 1: sometimes not.
Speaker 2: Getting into specifics. Right.
Speaker 5: There is an all Washington Post article today that talks
Speaker 5: specifically about how Trump talks. It's called abrupt shifts, profane insults,
Speaker 5: confusing sentences, and I wanted to read a paragraph from
Speaker 5: it because I think you could say this about both
Speaker 5: of the candidates for different reasons, but for about both
Speaker 5: of them. This is the paragraph from this article. He
Speaker 5: jumps more abruptly between subjects and from his script to improvising,
Speaker 5: sometimes offering what sound like non sequiturs. He occasionally mixes
Speaker 5: up words or names, and some of his sentences are
Speaker 5: meaningless or nonsensical. As he delivered more speeches in October,
Speaker 5: he has made multiple slip ups per day, and he
Speaker 5: has become more profane in public. That's the Washington Post
Speaker 5: taking down Donald Trump. And again, all of those things
Speaker 5: are absolutely true.
Speaker 3: I don't understand the profanity thing either.
Speaker 5: Why he's doing it, Yeah, because of the reaction from
Speaker 5: the crowd.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that doesn't make it right.
Speaker 5: When he called her an s vice president, the crowd
Speaker 5: went nuts. It's totally unnecessary, but the crowd went nuts.
Speaker 5: So anyway, he referred to it. I remember, if you
Speaker 5: saw the cut, I think you may have actually been out.
Speaker 5: But when he did an interview with Andrew Schultz, the comedian,
Speaker 5: and he talked about weaving, that's what he described. He said,
Speaker 5: he doesn't lose train of thought. He just weaves, bobs
Speaker 5: and weaves like a kind of but you explained it,
Speaker 5: and I do a thing called the weave, the weave.
Speaker 12: And there are those that are fair that say this
Speaker 12: guy is so genius, and then others would say, oh,
Speaker 12: he rambled. I don't ramble questory. What you do is
Speaker 12: you weave things and you do it.
Speaker 2: He doesn't get that they're laughing at him.
Speaker 5: But he talks about he'll go off of the teleprompter,
Speaker 5: he'll weave a story, He'll go all the way around
Speaker 5: and then comes back. And it takes a genius. He
Speaker 5: says to remember where he left off, when in fact,
Speaker 5: all it takes is someone to not advance the teleprompter.
Speaker 2: Right, That's that's the genius that's involved.
Speaker 5: All right, a little bit more about these political relationships
Speaker 5: that people are losing, the relationships that people are losing
Speaker 5: because of politics, and why cutting off your parents is
Speaker 5: such a big deal now.
Speaker 3: Too, Yeah, I don't understand this at all.
Speaker 5: Want to find happiness in the to find Well, it's
Speaker 5: twelve o'clock hour, that's what I've heard, you know what
Speaker 5: I mean?
Speaker 3: Also, what you learn is a traffic's going to.
Speaker 2: Be the nightmare tonight.
Speaker 5: We've got, of course, a World Series Game one at
Speaker 5: Dodgers Stadium. As you heard Debra mention fiveh eight first
Speaker 5: pitch there at that game, there's a lot of stuff
Speaker 5: going on beforehand.
Speaker 2: That what I think.
Speaker 5: That is what I think I love about the World Series,
Speaker 5: regardless of who's playing in it, is the pomp and circumstance,
Speaker 5: the honorings that they do before the game. So Jack
Speaker 5: Flaherty will take them out for the Dodgers, Garrett Cole
Speaker 5: for the Yankees. Of course, the Chargers will host the
Speaker 5: Saints on Sunday afternoon.
Speaker 2: It's so far.
Speaker 5: But at the Coliseum tonight, You've got USC hosting Rutgers,
Speaker 5: You've got the Lakers hosting the Phoenix Suns tonight.
Speaker 2: It's going to be a busy time if you're out
Speaker 2: on the freeway.
Speaker 1: More Americans are completely cutting off their parents. It's called
Speaker 1: the no contact movement. It has its proponents and its detractors.
Speaker 1: Those in favor say people should disentangle from unhealthy relationships
Speaker 1: without shame, and that family should be held at the
Speaker 1: same standards as friends and romantic partners. Those against it
Speaker 1: say the bar for what constitutes familial trauma has become
Speaker 1: too low. Yes, and some kids who cut off all
Speaker 1: contact are being selfish. Even even George Gascon yesterday said
Speaker 1: that the Menandez brothers grew up in a dysfunctional household,
Speaker 1: therefore they should not well, this is not what he said,
Speaker 1: but this is the insinuation. Therefore they should not be
Speaker 1: accountable for murdering their parents. It was dysfunctional. What home
Speaker 1: isn't dysfunctional? At some point there is that word selfish,
Speaker 1: by the way, is the one I keyed in on.
Speaker 1: I know that not everybody does that.
Speaker 5: I know that there are there are people who do
Speaker 5: have awful circumstances, and they grow up and they want
Speaker 5: to get away from their parents and that I can't
Speaker 5: imagine what that's like. I mean literally, I can't imagine
Speaker 5: what's that that's like because I never lived that, but
Speaker 5: I've heard stories. But there is there is this trend,
Speaker 5: and you kind of pointed to it there in the
Speaker 5: suggestion that sometimes we make Sometimes you make a mountain
Speaker 5: out of a molehill, and it's because you're selfish. Of course,
Speaker 5: this extends to the family.
Speaker 1: When I say this, I mean the failure of Americans
Speaker 1: or people in general in twenty twenty four, the failure
Speaker 1: of people to sit in uncomfortability, whether it be really anything,
Speaker 1: any anything uncomfortable.
Speaker 11: I mean.
Speaker 5: The other theme that we've been talking about is the
Speaker 5: uncomfortability of political discussions with somebody. If you know that
Speaker 5: that person wants to talk politics, but you still want
Speaker 5: to carry on a relationship with them.
Speaker 2: You're gonna You're gonna sit there.
Speaker 5: You know, you don't have to engage, you don't have
Speaker 5: to argue, and you don't have to cut off the relationship.
Speaker 5: But there are gonna be times we're it's gonna be
Speaker 5: uncomfortable and grandma's gonna yell about her, and grandma's gonna
Speaker 5: yell about him, and vice versa.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's.
Speaker 5: That's you have to be willing to overcome some of
Speaker 5: the uncomfortability to sit through the good stuff.
Speaker 1: I kind of felt prey, you get yourself kind of
Speaker 1: worked up in my regard it was flying. A handful
Speaker 1: of years ago, I decided to start taking like the
Speaker 1: lowest dosage xanax, but still a xanax for.
Speaker 3: Flights because I got I was a nervous flyer. That's ridiculous.
Speaker 3: Just sit there and be nervous. That's okay.
Speaker 1: You can have different like emotions and feelings and you
Speaker 1: can be uncomfortable and.
Speaker 3: It be okay. The one time, I mean I stopped.
Speaker 5: I had a dental work done at one point where
Speaker 5: the oh, that's not okay.
Speaker 1: No, are you talking about novacane wearing off? Not okay, Okay,
Speaker 1: that's not okay. I'm talking about mild uncomfortability. You get
Speaker 1: nervous about something and you label it anxiety.
Speaker 3: No, it life makes you nervous. Sometimes wrap it on man,
Speaker 3: listen to you.
Speaker 5: Well, I'm wearing Man's deodorant, so I already had the battles,
Speaker 5: wars with.
Speaker 13: Families and friends about Trump and Biden and Hillary and Trump.
Speaker 13: And I've heard it all, so it's already watered down.
Speaker 13: Everybody already has their ideas and of what's what, and
Speaker 13: they all listen to their own little news and their
Speaker 13: own facts.
Speaker 2: Echo chamber, yup.
Speaker 13: So what I do is I keep it Dodger, Let's
Speaker 13: go Dodgers.
Speaker 3: Good idea, That's what sports are for.
Speaker 5: Yeah, until Uncle Bob comes out from New York and
Speaker 5: he's a big Yankees fan.
Speaker 2: Hi, guys.
Speaker 6: It definitely spices up the conversations, especially when you're a
Speaker 6: Latino and you tell everybody that you're voting for Trump.
Speaker 6: So I went and got a big old flag and
Speaker 6: put it in front of my house just so they
Speaker 6: can enjoy it.
Speaker 5: But see, now, you're just stirring it up because you
Speaker 5: enjoy the quarrel.
Speaker 2: I suppose. I guess that's.
Speaker 14: Why Gary and Shannon hey high from Palomer Mountain. But yeah,
Speaker 14: I just don't do politics with family. I refuse to
Speaker 14: talk about it. I don't ask them about it. I
Speaker 14: know where they all stand, but I just don't do it.
Speaker 14: It ruins good relationships, and that's what you have to
Speaker 14: do your show.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 3: I love Palomar Mountains.
Speaker 15: Beautiful relationship with you to have changed. I absolutely love
Speaker 15: you guys. I think I've been listening since you started.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 15: I've been listening to the station since Ojay. But I
Speaker 15: work and I listened to this while I'm working, and
Speaker 15: you guys used to make me laugh and just entertainment.
Speaker 15: But now it's hard to listen to you guys, And
Speaker 15: I don't know. I hope this election well, anyway, have
Speaker 15: a good weekend.
Speaker 5: Let me say this, we are in the salad days,
Speaker 5: and I don't mean that in the good way. I
Speaker 5: mean no, let me rephrase that, we're in the roasted
Speaker 5: beat and asparagus days. Like these are things we got.
Speaker 5: We have to be on top of this type of news.
Speaker 5: It's not that we get a rise out of talking
Speaker 5: about them. We too feel that weight. We don't love this.
Speaker 1: We don't love coming in here and talking about politics
Speaker 1: and weighing in on them. I'm pretty sure that's not
Speaker 1: something that we would choose to do in our lives.
Speaker 9: In that.
Speaker 1: Family member there, that was a hard conversation to have,
Speaker 1: but she had it with us, and I get it,
Speaker 1: and we'll bring a little bit more levity even in
Speaker 1: this next to ten eleven days. We will keep that
Speaker 1: in mind because it is important to keep in mind
Speaker 1: what our function is.
Speaker 3: And our function is.
Speaker 1: Not to tell people about Kamala Harrison, Donald Trump.
Speaker 3: It really is not our function.
Speaker 1: Our function is to have a good time and keep
Speaker 1: you informed, and that's what we're trying to do.
Speaker 5: I want to credit her for the positivity sandwich. Yeah,
Speaker 5: where she said, but.
Speaker 3: It felt like the reasons she listens.
Speaker 5: She's listened for a long time. She likes to laugh.
Speaker 5: Lately it's been a little rough, but she hopes to
Speaker 5: have a good weekend.
Speaker 1: That was like a genuine positivity sandwich. That wasn't going
Speaker 1: into the boss office and her being like, Oh, I.
Speaker 3: Like your shirt. You suck today, I like your shoes.
Speaker 1: Not that our boss does this, but some bosses do
Speaker 1: do this, and it's so obvious.
Speaker 2: He's gonna text you right now.
Speaker 1: I had a boss in Seattle that did this, and
Speaker 1: I said, you don't need to do the positivity sandwich.
Speaker 1: Just tell me when I suck. I know what I do, well,
Speaker 1: tell me when I suck. And she's like, no, I'll
Speaker 1: continue telling you both. And I was like, ah, God,
Speaker 1: I don't need that. Keep your sandwiches, but I liked
Speaker 1: that one.
Speaker 5: Look if you more of these and don't forget we're
Speaker 5: doing what you learned this week on the Gary and
Speaker 5: Shannon Show. Also, you can leave us messages on the
Speaker 5: talkback feature on the iHeart app and guess what we
Speaker 5: have coming up in a couple of weeks.
Speaker 3: Uh oh oh oh.
Speaker 1: Do you get Yes, that's what I was going to
Speaker 1: ask for. We have a news and bruise on the books.
Speaker 1: It is going to be Friday, because you've all asked
Speaker 1: for Fridays Tina November eighth at Luchenor Brewing Company.
Speaker 5: Yes, we're gonna be a Luchador Brewing in Chino Hills.
Speaker 5: There is actually going to be a charity aspect to this,
Speaker 5: so if you had to find yet another reason to
Speaker 5: come out, we're going to be doing some good.
Speaker 2: We'll explain more on that for god next hour.
Speaker 5: No, No, it's well kind of close to it's for
Speaker 5: fire recovery efforts and firefighters, et cetera.
Speaker 3: Oh that's very cool.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So we'll talk about that as we get a
Speaker 5: little bit closer to our next news and Bruise Friday.
Speaker 5: November eighth, Luchador Brewing Company. And can it be like
Speaker 5: a bunch of firefighters out there or something. I'm just
Speaker 5: trying to get the ladies. Oh, I see, you know
Speaker 5: what I'm saying that not all ladies like firefighters. Lies
Speaker 5: And it's not just ladies that like firef That's true.
Speaker 5: That's true. We have we throw our arms wide open.
Speaker 2: We do do we?
Speaker 3: We sure do.
Speaker 1: More on this up next speaking more want to stop
Speaker 1: love it blossoms and blooms. When did I ever say that?
Speaker 2: Was that? Today? Was?
Speaker 8: Not?
Speaker 2: No? Not today, thank you.
Speaker 3: I was going to say that was must have been
Speaker 3: when I had my brain tumor.
Speaker 5: We've been talking about this statement of a few different
Speaker 5: reasons why we're talking about this topic of political discussions
Speaker 5: and the potential for it to break apart family relationships,
Speaker 5: friend relationships, that sort of thing. One of them was
Speaker 5: the study that came out that said that sixty percent
Speaker 5: of Americans say they're anxious somewhat anxious of the about
Speaker 5: the upcoming election. There was a story a study that
Speaker 5: was done that suggested that more Americans are cutting off
Speaker 5: their parents. A lot of it has to do with
Speaker 5: political differences. In some cases, and then this statement that
Speaker 5: actually jd Vance made last night while he was doing
Speaker 5: a town hall on News Nation.
Speaker 16: My most important advice, whether you vote for me, whether
Speaker 16: you vote for Donald Trump, whether you vote for Kamala Harris,
Speaker 16: don't cast aside family members and lifelong friendships. Politics is
Speaker 16: not worth it. But I think we follow that principle,
Speaker 16: Willhill of the divide in this country.
Speaker 5: And then he gets a big round of applause for that.
Speaker 5: So we asked what people, what's going on in your
Speaker 5: life about?
Speaker 1: Sorry, it was late. I got caught up talking to
Speaker 1: Debra about our sex show.
Speaker 5: Which one tell me lies, Oh hey, because the disclaimer
Speaker 5: we started watching last night.
Speaker 3: Oh is there set right off the bat?
Speaker 13: There?
Speaker 2: Well, literally I'm in the opening seconds.
Speaker 5: Yes, oh really, but it's not constant, but it's is
Speaker 5: it good? It will be like I think that it's
Speaker 5: one of those right things would have been great.
Speaker 2: It was a book. Yeah, and it's actually about a book.
Speaker 4: Interesting, Hey, Garian Channon, great show.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 4: The deal is it's not about which candidate you're for,
Speaker 4: and that relating to maintaining relationships or keeping relationships with
Speaker 4: people who have differing you know, ideologies. It's really about
Speaker 4: what cult are you in? And you just can't get
Speaker 4: away from it? These days, politics has become a cult
Speaker 4: and either you're in this cult or in that cult
Speaker 4: and never the two may may shall may you know
Speaker 4: what I'm trying to say. Sorry, guys, great show.
Speaker 1: I got a text from a friend who is a
Speaker 1: staunch Democrat, who said, you're one hundred percent right about Trump.
Speaker 1: We despise everything about him that it's not just the politics,
Speaker 1: it's the whole, the whole thing. And I said, well,
Speaker 1: what did you like about George w And wrote back,
Speaker 1: he created a huge marine wildlife sanctuary and he wasn't
Speaker 1: a s human.
Speaker 2: M Okay, I.
Speaker 17: Always have Darian standon a great show. Thank you listen
Speaker 17: as always listen for years.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 17: I've definitely blocked some people, but also, uh, you know,
Speaker 17: I realized it's okay to disagree.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's okay. Yes, you know.
Speaker 17: These discussions and not be pissed off.
Speaker 2: That's okay.
Speaker 1: Like skincare. I disagree with your refusal to use any.
Speaker 3: You don't care.
Speaker 1: It's uncomfortable when I look at your face every day,
Speaker 1: but we're dealing with it.
Speaker 18: Hey, Gary and Shannon, I have a simple solution for this.
Speaker 18: I don't argue with people about it. I just agree
Speaker 18: with them and then vote. However, I'm going to vote,
Speaker 18: and I don't tell anybody anything that way.
Speaker 2: There is that aspect of this.
Speaker 1: We do vote in private, right, You don't have to
Speaker 1: be honest with people.
Speaker 19: Gary, what's going on? Guys?
Speaker 9: You?
Speaker 19: Religion and politics are big no knows when it comes
Speaker 19: to talking amongst other people because people take that stuff
Speaker 19: to personal.
Speaker 3: So should I stop it?
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 19: I had someone that was very close to me and
Speaker 19: she didn't talk to me for six months when she
Speaker 19: found out that I voted for Trump twenty twenty. And
Speaker 19: now that she's been able to see that I was great,
Speaker 19: now she talks to me again.
Speaker 1: That's funny. So should I stop talking about the Bible?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 20: Okay, by guys, love the show. I'm gonna talk quick
Speaker 20: because I only have a short time. I had to
Speaker 20: literally kick someone out of a recent birthday party for
Speaker 20: baiting people into forcing them to agree with him about Trump.
Speaker 20: And whether you agree with him or not, it's irrelevant.
Speaker 20: It doesn't belong to a party. So I had to
Speaker 20: kick him out, and now he doesn't speak to us.
Speaker 20: So wow, Oh, well, have a great show, guys.
Speaker 5: I don't know how you get I don't know how
Speaker 5: you get to a point where you're baiting people into agreeing.
Speaker 3: I have a relative that.
Speaker 1: Just hits you over the head with his opinion, and
Speaker 1: it gets to be the point where it's like I
Speaker 1: don't really want to be around that person.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the unfortunate people don't understand that. Like nobody
Speaker 2: wants to hear that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Gary, Hay, Shannon love the show.
Speaker 21: Just listening to all the controversy about not talking to
Speaker 21: your parents or not talking to your kids or whatever.
Speaker 21: It's tough. But one thing I will say, I think uncomfortability.
Speaker 21: I think you should just say discomfort anyway, you keep
Speaker 21: up the good work, kids. I like Shannon's remark that
Speaker 21: she just cuy and it kind of wants to be
Speaker 21: a middle of the road sort of conservative.
Speaker 3: I agree with that.
Speaker 7: All the way.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but now people are well.
Speaker 16: Yes, hey Gary and Shannon, Yeah, my wife and I's.
Speaker 9: Politics are very different.
Speaker 7: But I like to save that for the appropriate time
Speaker 7: when we're getting the husband and wife special time.
Speaker 2: Oh boy, all right, well that's the end of it.
Speaker 1: If you're talking about politics naked, that is a that
Speaker 1: is a level of.
Speaker 3: Well, I guess if you have.
Speaker 2: A word for it, do they?
Speaker 15: Yes?
Speaker 3: What is it?
Speaker 2: Cocin bloken?
