Speaker 1: This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to kf
Speaker 1: I A M six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show
Speaker 1: on demand on the iHeartRadio app. President Trump said today
Speaker 1: that war plans should not be shared with Elon Musk
Speaker 1: because of his business interests.
Speaker 2: Oh look at that. You want to just start swampwash
Speaker 2: right there. Sure, let's get it since we're talking, since
Speaker 2: I'm a politician and not me.
Speaker 1: When I'm not kissing babies, I'm stealing their lollipop. Here,
Speaker 1: we got.
Speaker 3: The real problem is that our leaders are done.
Speaker 1: The other side never quits.
Speaker 3: So what.
Speaker 4: I'm not going anywhere so that you train the squat,
Speaker 4: I can imagine what can be and be unburdened by
Speaker 4: what has been.
Speaker 1: You know, Americans have always been going at President, but
Speaker 1: they're not stupid.
Speaker 2: A political plunder is when a politician actually tells the truth.
Speaker 1: Why have the people voted for you were not swampwatch?
Speaker 1: They're all counting on them.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: So this was reported this morning.
Speaker 2: New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post all had
Speaker 2: stories early this morning about this meeting. Elon Musk was
Speaker 2: going to go to the Pentagon and, according to the
Speaker 2: different papers, was going to be briefed on war plans
Speaker 2: for China. The Washington Post specifically said the meeting was
Speaker 2: focused on the threat post by China. New York Times
Speaker 2: the military's plan for any war that might break out
Speaker 2: with China, and The Wall Street Journal said it was
Speaker 2: a top secret briefing on plans for a potential war
Speaker 2: with China. They've all changed that and now simply say
Speaker 2: that it was a meeting, even though Defense Secretary Pete
Speaker 2: Hegseth and President Trump both said this isn't this doesn't
Speaker 2: have anything to do with China.
Speaker 3: There was no war plans. There's no Chinese war plans,
Speaker 3: there was no secret plans. That's not what we were.
Speaker 1: Doing with the Pentagon.
Speaker 3: Elon Musk provides a lot of capabilities our government and
Speaker 3: our military rely on, and I'm grateful for that. We
Speaker 3: welcomed him today to the Pentagon to talk about DOGE,
Speaker 3: to talk about efficiencies, to talk about innovations.
Speaker 2: Sean Parnello is a Pentagon spokesperson and said that the meetings,
Speaker 2: specif typically, was about what heg Seth said there the innovation.
Speaker 6: Elon Musk is just coming over here for a visit. Again.
Speaker 6: He's an innovator. This is a guy that shot a
Speaker 6: rock at a thousands of miles an hour. That's thousands
Speaker 6: of pounds, and as it landed back on the Earth,
Speaker 6: it was grabbed out of mid air by a giant
Speaker 6: robot arm.
Speaker 1: All right, let's just calm it down. If you need
Speaker 1: a moment for Elon Muskin his accomplishments, maybe you do
Speaker 1: that on your private time. But Trump did say Elon
Speaker 1: has businesses in China, and he would be susceptible to
Speaker 1: any sort of hypothetical war with China, is what he
Speaker 1: was talking about. He would be susceptible to that. He
Speaker 1: of course brings up Tesla, which has production in China. Sure, so,
Speaker 1: I mean, it was very astute of him and important
Speaker 1: for him to publicize this and mention it. They're trying
Speaker 1: to expand and expand sales in China as well and production,
Speaker 1: I should say production and sales there. So it's nice
Speaker 1: to hear him say that. Yeah, I do believe in
Speaker 1: chikes and bounds, separation of powers, so to speak, in
Speaker 1: this regard.
Speaker 2: The President and the Secretary of Defense also announced from
Speaker 2: the White House today that the new most sophisticated fighter
Speaker 2: jet in the history of the world, contract has been
Speaker 2: awarded to Boeing. This is the next generation air dominance
Speaker 2: program will replace the F twenty two Raptor with an
Speaker 2: F forty seven, an airplane built to enter combat with drones.
Speaker 5: Alongside drones.
Speaker 2: This is the human controlled airplane, but that it's going
Speaker 2: to have gosh, a mascot like a Disney mascot with
Speaker 2: it in the form of drones.
Speaker 1: Potentially.
Speaker 2: This was a not a long time coming, but we
Speaker 2: know that there have been problems with the F twenty
Speaker 2: two and the F thirty five.
Speaker 1: It'll be known as the F forty seven. The General's
Speaker 1: picked a title and lessen its beautiful number. Let me
Speaker 1: tell you Bowen got that contract because somebody came up
Speaker 1: with calling at the F forty seven, sir. Of course
Speaker 1: it is the best, the biggest plane that we've had.
Speaker 1: It's going to be the quarterback of our fleet. And
Speaker 1: of course, with a plane of this magnitude, this size,
Speaker 1: this stealth, this ability to penetrate China like no other
Speaker 1: aircraft has before, of course we're going to name it
Speaker 1: F forty seven. I mean lockeed Martin didn't come with
Speaker 1: that kind of presentation.
Speaker 5: No, they can't. They were going to call it the
Speaker 5: f forty one.
Speaker 1: They were something like they were done.
Speaker 2: They didn't do it right. This obviously has the connection.
Speaker 2: I didn't put it together until you said it. But yes,
Speaker 2: the forty seven is tickling his uh oh yeah, how
Speaker 2: could it not monkey brain?
Speaker 1: We tickle mine and I don't have those. They call
Speaker 1: it the f Farren.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: The other thing that's going on in DC today is
Speaker 2: that a district judge is holding a hearing today.
Speaker 1: And in space wars, you know what I mean, maybe
Speaker 1: there's just a spaceship called the fars something like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's the biggest This judge is the one
Speaker 2: that ordered those planes of deported migrants that were all
Speaker 2: on their way to El Salvador to be turned around
Speaker 2: and brought back.
Speaker 5: They weren't.
Speaker 2: And there is a question about whether or not the
Speaker 2: members of the administration should be held in contempt of
Speaker 2: court because they ignored the order from Judge James Boseberg.
Speaker 2: The President says, this guy's a nut job.
Speaker 1: You can't stop that With a judge sitting behind the
Speaker 1: bench that has no idea what goes on, who happens
Speaker 1: to be a radical left.
Speaker 2: Lunatic, the judge is asking them for any amount of
Speaker 2: information about the government's use of the Alien Enemies Act. Again,
Speaker 2: we talked before about this eighteenth century law. This scheduled
Speaker 2: hearing is going to start about fifteen minutes from now.
Speaker 2: The government has to decide by Tuesday whether it's going
Speaker 2: to invoke a specific privilege that allows them to keep
Speaker 2: some things secret. They could say based on national security.
Speaker 2: We cannot tell you exactly why we kicked some of
Speaker 2: these trend de Arragua alleged gang members out of the country,
Speaker 2: but they have to decide soon if they're going to
Speaker 2: do that. The judge is at least allowing that, and
Speaker 2: we'll be hearing more on that case in just a
Speaker 2: few minutes.
Speaker 1: The first flight has landed at Heathrow since that fire
Speaker 1: shut down the busiest airport, some could argue in the globe.
Speaker 1: On the globe, I don't know what the busiest airport is,
Speaker 1: but Heathrow would have been my guess. Anyway, I think
Speaker 1: it's Heartsfield, okay, But as you could Atlanta. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: as you can imagine, the reverberations of this shutdown are
Speaker 1: going to last for days. We've got tearing the skies
Speaker 1: coming up. But next the loneliest people in places in America.
Speaker 1: Where do you think those are? He throws fifth, fifth,
Speaker 1: So is a hair ahead of them? No?
Speaker 2: No, so Heath. So it's a Heartsfields Field Jackson Atlanta International.
Speaker 1: Okay? Is it like Dubai or something? Dubai is number two, okay,
Speaker 1: And then it would be in this country, in this country,
Speaker 1: massive airport, massive like lax.
Speaker 2: No spread out over Denver, no more more more than that.
Speaker 1: Dallas war Worth, Oh, okay is three. Tokyo is four.
Speaker 1: I'm a love Field person. He throws five.
Speaker 2: Love Field is so great, so easy, it's easy. Version
Speaker 2: of Burbank.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you know what though, Burbank's version of Burbank
Speaker 1: is Long Beach. It's a new thing. I've discovered.
Speaker 5: Burbank's version of Burbank.
Speaker 1: Long Beach Airport makes Burbank look like lax.
Speaker 2: Loneliest people in the world. Gary and Channon will continue.
Speaker 4: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 4: AM six forty.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, it was up by eleven at one point.
Speaker 1: I picked Baylor for this upset. They were up by
Speaker 1: twelve the last time I looked.
Speaker 5: And that's so here we are, Wow, here we are.
Speaker 1: There's a couple of upsets yesterday Texas, Texas, just saying no, no,
Speaker 1: it was well. Listen, there were two hours. There was
Speaker 1: a twelve seed that way. That was the twelve seeds
Speaker 1: quick sports.
Speaker 5: Note.
Speaker 2: What's the fact if you had to right now, I
Speaker 2: mean you could change your sh niece McNeese, that's what.
Speaker 2: You could change your your attire and your shoes. And
Speaker 2: I asked you to run a mile. What's your what's
Speaker 2: your time?
Speaker 1: All out far? Just one just one mile, all in
Speaker 1: one mile. I could probably do it in eight something eight. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's good, that's probably. That's a healthy. That's a healthy.
Speaker 1: Just the one mile, just one.
Speaker 2: After that, you're gonna need a week off and a
Speaker 2: mobility aide like the astronauts had getting out of the space.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be it would be a push. It would
Speaker 1: be a hard hard you'd cry at the end. I would.
Speaker 2: Fifteen year old Sam Ruthie of New Zealand has become
Speaker 2: the youngest person ever to run a sub four minute mile.
Speaker 2: He's fifteen. I mean he weighs like one hundred mins.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say how much this one weak cross.
Speaker 2: The line at Auckland, New Zealand with a time of
Speaker 2: three fifty eight thirty five, finishing just behind the pacemaker,
Speaker 2: and a two time Olympian named Sam Tanner ben Wall
Speaker 2: also finished within four minutes. So fifteen year old ran
Speaker 2: a sub four minute mile.
Speaker 1: It's pretty spectacular.
Speaker 2: There was a question Omika Sura Wanshi had a question
Speaker 2: about how many American adults feel lonely. Last month, the
Speaker 2: Washington Post was looking around some of the Census Household
Speaker 2: Pulse survey after the Trump administration had taken it offline
Speaker 2: and put it back, and they discovered that these surveys
Speaker 2: show some shed some light on the epidemic of loneliness
Speaker 2: in our country. In twenty twenty four, they asked more
Speaker 2: than half of half a million American adults how often
Speaker 2: they feel lonely now. For most, the answer was either
Speaker 2: never feel lonely or very rarely feel lonely. So that
Speaker 2: comes out to about sixty percent, suggesting that it's sixty
Speaker 2: percent that you may have a little bit of loneliness
Speaker 2: in our life but don't ever feel it. Five percent
Speaker 2: said they always feel lonely, eight percent said they usually
Speaker 2: feel lonely. So you're talking about thirteen percent who said
Speaker 2: that they feel lonely, and in maps, those people who
Speaker 2: are always lonely tend to live in the sun Belt,
Speaker 2: particular focus on the deep South. Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia leads
Speaker 2: the pack when it comes to those people who say
Speaker 2: they always feel lone.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have guessed that.
Speaker 2: They said it tends to be higher in those states,
Speaker 2: whether it's because of this or just a correlation, whether
Speaker 2: poverty rates the poverty rates.
Speaker 1: That's why I shocked by that, because I was thinking,
Speaker 1: that's a bigger poverty area the Sunbelt, and I'm thinking
Speaker 1: that in impoverished areas, you're more likely to have multi
Speaker 1: family residences. You're never alone.
Speaker 2: You may still feel lonely, interesting, but you're never alone.
Speaker 2: The other side is where the people feel rarely lonely.
Speaker 2: Tend to be the northern half of the country, Minnesota,
Speaker 2: for Mont, Iowa, Utah, places like that. And they said
Speaker 2: it relates strongly to the other measures of community cohesion
Speaker 2: because those places, again where people rarely feel lonely, Minnesota, Vermont, Iowa, Utah,
Speaker 2: they tend to have the highest rates of volunteering and
Speaker 2: organizational membership. And those people those the states where people
Speaker 2: say they are never lonely Florida. They were concerned, at
Speaker 2: least the people that were looking at these numbers. They said,
Speaker 2: it surprised them that Florida would be never lonely because loneliness,
Speaker 2: you would just kind of imagine, increases with age. You
Speaker 2: literally start losing people that are close to you, and
Speaker 2: the older you get, the fewer people, the fewer friends
Speaker 2: you're going to have.
Speaker 1: They said.
Speaker 2: Florida has one of the oldest populations. Of course, you
Speaker 2: expect loneliness to run high. Anybody over the age of
Speaker 2: sixty five is two and a half times more likely
Speaker 2: to live alone than somebody age twenty five to fifty four.
Speaker 2: But again, if you are in a place like Florida,
Speaker 2: which has probably got some pretty great social life there,
Speaker 2: even if you do live alone, you don't technically feel lonely.
Speaker 1: I'm depressed now, why you live with someone? Just this
Speaker 1: whole story though sad. But there are people that are
Speaker 1: lonely in the Sun Belts.
Speaker 2: There's only like five percent. It's not like the forty
Speaker 2: percent or anything.
Speaker 1: It's just a hayful. I feel like we should have
Speaker 1: a pen pal in the Sun Belt, don't you? For the.
Speaker 2: Or just there are people who listen to the show
Speaker 2: from places.
Speaker 1: Well, if you're in the sun Belt and you're lonely,
Speaker 1: will you please let us know because we could be
Speaker 1: pen pals. Oh darn it, I forgot the schlocky radio intro.
Speaker 1: What do you.
Speaker 2: Mean I'm supposed to play that before we started talking
Speaker 2: about that year?
Speaker 1: Is this in your mind? Sorry? But eleanor Rigby? Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: Lonely is never going to play the heat is on
Speaker 1: for the warming up forecast over the weekend. I mean
Speaker 1: I could, I mean she could, but he won't because
Speaker 1: you're not hacked.
Speaker 2: I could have played this bopper from America.
Speaker 1: It's called all the Lonely People. This is making me
Speaker 1: more depressed than I was thinking about the lonely sun
Speaker 1: Belt people. Is your musical selections for this segment? This
Speaker 1: is Jesus, Mary. Jesus was never lonely, and Jesus was
Speaker 1: never lonely in the desert because he had God. Remember
Speaker 1: the footprints, don't we all? That was not in the desert,
Speaker 1: that was on the beach. It could have been both.
Speaker 1: It's not a lot of beach. Do you not think
Speaker 1: that God was also with Jesus? God was with Jesus
Speaker 1: in the desert. I'm listening to the music.
Speaker 4: This is.
Speaker 1: Jesus.
Speaker 6: Enough.
Speaker 1: Well, let's do an update. Let's do a Terror in
Speaker 1: the Sky's update.
Speaker 2: Not only is he throw getting back an operational, there's
Speaker 2: a couple other stories we wanted to get to as well.
Speaker 1: Do that when we come up. Oh, let's come up
Speaker 1: with fun music to play.
Speaker 5: Like like aviation theme.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like seventies, like aviation. Now it's a thing. Now
Speaker 1: we're going to own it and make it our thing. Well,
Speaker 1: we kind of already do that with the callback to
Speaker 1: in our Terror in this guy's intro.
Speaker 5: Oh you want others?
Speaker 1: What older than nineteen eighty six?
Speaker 5: Okay, Gary and Shadow will continue Tearing the sky is
Speaker 5: coming up.
Speaker 4: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 4: AM six forty.
Speaker 1: Is this for Labomba for thee? I like that. I
Speaker 1: like that kind of creative thought. It's very good. When
Speaker 1: I saw LaBamba as a child, it traumatized me that
Speaker 1: opening scene where they're on the playground and the plane
Speaker 1: goes down. The rest of my life, every time I
Speaker 1: was out on a playground, I thought of a plane
Speaker 1: going down. Anybody else have that experience? No, all right,
Speaker 1: cool Gary and Shannon Show. If I am six forty
Speaker 1: live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. We still have a
Speaker 1: massive twelve o'clock hour coming up. Not only do we
Speaker 1: have Deborah's News at the top of the hour at noon,
Speaker 1: the newscast, the new newscast, award winning noon newscast. I
Speaker 1: will point out several times over, thank you Shannon, you
Speaker 1: are very welcome. Thank you. We've got somebody running for
Speaker 1: governor that's going to be coming in here as well.
Speaker 1: In that twelve o'clock hour, we've got your weekend entertainment report.
Speaker 1: What to watch when you're sitting on the couch eating
Speaker 1: your chips? Do you do that too? Or now I'm
Speaker 1: alone on that as well as the LaBamba thing.
Speaker 5: So my sister in law is allergic to corn, and
Speaker 5: we did.
Speaker 2: She find that out? Sorry that came off. Maybe she
Speaker 2: ate corn and had a bad reaction.
Speaker 1: Is that what happened? You've never asked how did she
Speaker 1: find that out?
Speaker 2: I shouldn't say that, but but I don't mind making exceptions.
Speaker 2: So we found corn free or was it grain free
Speaker 2: corn free chips, grain free trip chips, and I went
Speaker 2: through those things like hot and eye through butter. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they were really good. I don't buy love corn chips. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't buy chips like that. Corn chips or tortilla
Speaker 2: chips or whatever.
Speaker 5: You don't want them around the house.
Speaker 1: I don't want to around the house because I'll eat them.
Speaker 1: But recently I had some leftover chips from when I
Speaker 1: went out with my girlfriends in the desert and we
Speaker 1: had some like snacks from the house or whatever, and
Speaker 1: I brought them home with me and they were and
Speaker 1: they were there, They were there, they were living their life,
Speaker 1: and I thought, hmm, I too would like to share
Speaker 1: that life with you chips, and I you didn't want this.
Speaker 1: This is why I don't have chips in the house
Speaker 1: because they are not safe. Yes, I agree with you.
Speaker 2: Whenever we make tacos or something like that, we always
Speaker 2: get a bag of chips, and rarely do we finish
Speaker 2: them that day, and it becomes an issue for a
Speaker 2: couple of days where they're just the close that pantry door.
Speaker 5: Put them in the cabinet, you know where they are
Speaker 5: the whole time.
Speaker 1: Remember my friend that I was talking to you about,
Speaker 1: who had oxy prescribed to her, Yes, and she kept
Speaker 1: thinking about where they were after taking one pill. She
Speaker 1: kept thinking about where they were in the cupver in
Speaker 1: the bathroom and recognize that is a problem, right, so
Speaker 1: she got rid of them. That's how I am with
Speaker 1: chips badly. Thank you all. It's beautiful. Is that the
Speaker 1: mama's in the papas right? Pink Floyd, Pink Floyd. This
Speaker 1: is actually eighty. You got any like Steve Villervan in there? Okay,

Speaker 7: Terror in the skies on KFI tell things at Hethrow
Speaker 7: International Airport just outside London are getting back to normal overnight.
Speaker 2: They said that the airport was going to be closed
Speaker 2: for twenty four hours at least because of a fire
Speaker 2: at a nearby electricity substation that had knocked out power
Speaker 2: to the airport. They've gotten the fire under control. They
Speaker 2: have now said that as of about forty minutes ago,
Speaker 2: planes are going to they're going to try to ramp
Speaker 2: up back to normal. At least thirteen hundred and fifty
Speaker 2: flights to and from Heathrow were affected. They know that
Speaker 2: there were well over one hundred flights that were in
Speaker 2: the air headed to London when the fire ended up
Speaker 2: shutting them down. Many of them had to return to
Speaker 2: their place of origin or had to be diverted to
Speaker 2: other airports. Residents in West London said that they heard
Speaker 2: a large explosion followed by a fireball clouds of smoke
Speaker 2: as this fire ran through this electrical substation it catches in.
Speaker 2: In this case specifically, they said it caught cooling oil
Speaker 2: on fire and that's why they had such a hard
Speaker 2: time putting it out. One of the world's busiest airports
Speaker 2: for international travel, and in January, he Throw broke its
Speaker 2: own record with six point three million passengers going through,
Speaker 2: about a five percent increase from from January of last year.
Speaker 1: Did you see the story about this monster of a
Speaker 1: woman killed her She wasn't allowed to take her dog
Speaker 1: on a flight out of Florida, so she killed the dog.
Speaker 1: Is an awful person that is straight to hell with you.
Speaker 1: But that also got to be mental illness, right, I hope.
Speaker 2: So are you saying that people that take dogs on
Speaker 2: flights are mentally ill?
Speaker 1: No, I think people that drown their dogs in an
Speaker 1: airport toilet because they can't take the dog in flight
Speaker 1: are mentally ill. Does it say what kind of dog
Speaker 1: it was? It's a white miniature Schnauzer.
Speaker 2: Oh no, No, I'm not saying oh, like, oh, it
Speaker 2: deserved it. I'm just meant, oh, that's a because then
Speaker 2: that's a little puppy dog, Like that's a How big
Speaker 2: is that a miniature Schnauzer. It's probably no more than
Speaker 2: about twenty pounds.
Speaker 1: So bad with what breed MO has? MO has Schnauzers.
Speaker 1: I think MO has miniatures. Oh they're very cute. That
Speaker 1: is an adorable dog.
Speaker 2: My dog gets mistaken for Schnauzers a lot because of
Speaker 2: the haircut.
Speaker 1: I think my niece has one of these. They get
Speaker 1: their faces dirty, easy ketchup. My wife calls it ketchup
Speaker 1: around their mouth. That's rough. I don't want to rough.
Speaker 1: I did not mean that at all. I did not
Speaker 1: mean that. I feel like I wouldn't want to see
Speaker 1: I didn't know. I didn't say it on purpose, that's
Speaker 1: for damn sure. I feel like I don't want to
Speaker 1: see my dog's dirt on its face, like if they're
Speaker 1: stirt there when I know it's there.
Speaker 5: Right, Well, sometimes you can't.
Speaker 1: You can't. It's like your face.
Speaker 2: A man flying flying to New Jersey from Mexico claims
Speaker 2: that the cabin crew became upset because he was monopolizing
Speaker 2: the bathroom, prompting an enraged pilot to break down the
Speaker 2: bathroom door, yank this guy off of the toilet, and
Speaker 2: dress him down in a shocking anti Semitic tirade while
Speaker 2: nearby passengers docked on Upon landing Israel, Layeb, an Orthodox Jew,
Speaker 2: was pulled off the airline the United Airlines flight and
Speaker 2: arrested by Customs and Border Protection, who allegedly told him
Speaker 2: you have no rights here. This twenty year old guy
Speaker 2: contends that he was subjected to physical injuries, extreme emotional distress,
Speaker 2: and anxiety, and said that in his complaint he felt
Speaker 2: sexually violated and embarrassed after having been publicly exposed.
Speaker 1: In the nude. Oh my goodness.
Speaker 2: Again, it was because he was on the toilet for
Speaker 2: a very long time.
Speaker 1: That's weird to be sexually violated when you're on the toilet.
Speaker 5: I don't think that's an interesting term to use.
Speaker 1: But I don't think one of the last places where
Speaker 1: those happened. Sexual violations on a toilet. Yeah, I hope so,
Speaker 1: I've never you never thought about it, Pink Floyd? Do
Speaker 1: you say yes? I mean, I didn't make eployd but
Speaker 1: it is people, huh. I guess.
Speaker 2: I'm so amazed that you don't recognize some of these
Speaker 2: songs that they.
Speaker 1: I should, I should reckon, I don't. I'm embarrassed. It
Speaker 1: sounds like they're high, it does. Yeah, Yeah, these guys
Speaker 1: are definitely high.
Speaker 5: This was a staple when I was in a Chico.
Speaker 1: My staple for Steve Miller band all through high school
Speaker 1: was the also yeah staple staple.
Speaker 2: Up next, Heather Brooker is going to join us our
Speaker 2: entertainment report at the end of the weekend.
Speaker 1: And what did we get to waste time with this week?
Speaker 4: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 4: Am six forty.
Speaker 2: It is Friday, so we're going to do what you
Speaker 2: learned this week on the Gary and Shannon Show. If
Speaker 2: you learned anything, even if you didn't, you can let
Speaker 2: us know what you learned. Send us a talk back.
Speaker 2: When you're listening on the app, just hit that microphone
Speaker 2: and it sends us a message. Or if you happen

Speaker 2: send a message to KFI and then she'll record it
Speaker 2: and send it right to us.
Speaker 1: Well, let's get right to it. Heather Brooker is kind
Speaker 1: enough to join us from KFI News for our entertainment
Speaker 1: report going into the weekend. Heather has worked extensively in
Speaker 1: the industry, and we touched on the snow White controversy
Speaker 1: earlier in the week with the Little people and the Cgippy.
Speaker 1: I think I was going to say little Epusians and
Speaker 1: then I pulled the plug. Anyway, a little bit about
Speaker 1: the controversy over CGI dwarves and the like, and there's
Speaker 1: there's other controversy with the Star. It's just it's a mess.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 8: This film has been plagued sort of with controversy from
Speaker 8: the very beginning. When the star of the film snow White,
Speaker 8: Rachel Zegler, she was first interviewed after it was announced
Speaker 8: that she'd be playing snow White on the Red Carpet,
Speaker 8: and she made some comments that kind.
Speaker 1: Of ruffled some feathers.
Speaker 8: You know, people Disney fans are true fans of those classics,
Speaker 8: and snow White was the og Disney classic. And she
Speaker 8: basically came out and said, oh, our version, my version
Speaker 8: is going to be different.
Speaker 1: She's going to tell the story the right way.
Speaker 9: You know, the original cartoon came out in nineteen thirty
Speaker 9: seven and very evidently, so there's a big focus on
Speaker 9: her love story with a guy who literally stalks her.
Speaker 1: Weird. Weird.
Speaker 9: So we didn't do that.
Speaker 1: Prince or a different kind of prince.
Speaker 9: We have a different approach to what I'm sure a
Speaker 9: lot of people will assume as a love story just because,
Speaker 9: like we cast a guy in the movie.
Speaker 8: Oh my god, it's Disney, so they assume it's a
Speaker 8: love story because it is a love story.
Speaker 1: I've seen it.
Speaker 8: Yeah, So I took the bullet for you guys. Listen,
Speaker 8: I'm all about seen Gary and Shannon. I went to
Speaker 8: this movie for you. I took my eleven year old preteen.
Speaker 8: You know, they are very judging, very credible. Wow, And
Speaker 8: I'm gonna tell you guys' girl, girl, Okay, I'm.
Speaker 1: Gonna tell you guys, it was fine. It was fine.
Speaker 1: I did. It was snow white.
Speaker 8: They did definitely make some differences that some people are
Speaker 8: either gonna love or hate. But my preteen, my eleven
Speaker 8: year old daughter, she said, I thought it felt a
Speaker 8: little more modern, but it didn't feel like it was
Speaker 8: like beating me over the head with like, look how
Speaker 8: new and weird and different.
Speaker 9: It.
Speaker 1: It wasn't that at all.
Speaker 8: So I don't know if the filmmakers went and made
Speaker 8: those adjustments after all the controversy from her comments came
Speaker 8: out Rachel Zegler's comments.
Speaker 1: But there are some big differences. You know.
Speaker 8: They didn't name her snow white because her skin was
Speaker 8: white as snow. They named her snow white spoiler everybody,
Speaker 8: because there was a snowstorm on the night she was born.
Speaker 8: They I know, you guys are like very unimpressed.
Speaker 1: I was just thinking I was hearkening back to being
Speaker 1: a child and first hearing about snow, and I haven't
Speaker 1: thought about that since then. Her her skin was as
Speaker 1: white as snow and I remember and I was just
Speaker 1: remembering myself as a child, thinking that she was unwell,
Speaker 1: oh sickly. Yeah, like I thought, that's what that meant.
Speaker 8: And he needs more fruit and veggies. Yeah, And the
Speaker 8: love story is there. There is a love story. You
Speaker 8: can't tell the story of snow White without the evil
Speaker 8: queen and the and the there is that he's not
Speaker 8: a prince in this story. Yes, he's not a prince.
Speaker 8: He is a poor vagabond, you know, Robin Hood type
Speaker 8: of character that is stealing from the rich to help
Speaker 8: the poor, and they sort of you know, in her
Speaker 8: whole contrary Segular's whole controversy was that, oh, he doesn't
Speaker 8: rescue her, she rescues herself.
Speaker 1: Also not entirely true.
Speaker 8: The whole essence of snow White, and this is not
Speaker 8: of spoilery, is that he kisses her, and their true
Speaker 8: loves kiss breaks the spell from the witch. That part
Speaker 8: of the story still exists. He kisses her, she comes
Speaker 8: back to life.
Speaker 5: Did he ask for permission?
Speaker 1: He did not. He just went right out. He forced him.
Speaker 1: But here's the thing that has changed from then versus now,
Speaker 1: is that wouldn't you rather hook up with the vagabond
Speaker 1: guy who steals from the ridge to help the poor
Speaker 1: than some like prince who's never even done his own
Speaker 1: laundry exactly. Like, that's so unhot to me. It is
Speaker 1: like the idea of a prince who's just like pampered
Speaker 1: his whole life and doesn't know how to be a dude.
Speaker 1: Give me this, Yeah, like this guy lives off the
Speaker 1: streets and he's a pickpocket. Like that's much more appealing
Speaker 1: to me than the prince who has his shirt starched. Well,
Speaker 1: he definitely does.
Speaker 8: There's definitely some touches like that that are that make
Speaker 8: it feel just a little bit more updated. I wouldn't
Speaker 8: say modern, I would say updated. The music is great,
Speaker 8: The animation is fine. You know, there was a lot
Speaker 8: of complaints early on about the CGI Dwarves. People were
Speaker 8: comparing it to Polar Express, remember the animation excess.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not that bad.
Speaker 8: I think the initial trailers were a little jarring, but
Speaker 8: it's it's not that bad. Peter Dinklice came out and said, like,
Speaker 8: why are we telling a story about dwarves?
Speaker 1: You know? And yes, but now they call the mythical creatures.
Speaker 8: But there is a little person in the film playing
Speaker 8: a totally separate character. So I don't understand why they
Speaker 8: couldn't have just hired actors to play the dwarves or
Speaker 8: the you know, mythical creatures or whatever. I'm not sure
Speaker 8: why they didn't do that. But the music is great,
Speaker 8: the story is fine.
Speaker 1: How did your daughter feel about the dwarves?
Speaker 8: She initially, you know, because she and her friends were like, ooh,
Speaker 8: the animation looks weird, but she didn't mind. Is she
Speaker 8: goes up close the detail you can tell is really there,
Speaker 8: and it looks really cool.
Speaker 1: She actually really enjoyed it.
Speaker 8: She's like, I could see this being like a stage musical,
Speaker 8: and I'm like, oh my gosh, they're absolutely going to
Speaker 8: be developing it for a stage musical.
Speaker 1: Then you can't do the CGI. Then you've actually got
Speaker 1: to get to high middle people. Yes, little people, but
Speaker 1: little people who can dance, little people.
Speaker 8: Who can dance. It was a it was a good movie.
Speaker 8: It was fine. It was not the worst live action remake.
Speaker 8: I'll say that.
Speaker 2: The other thing that's coming out this week is the
Speaker 2: Alto Nights with Robert de Niro. Yes, and so it's
Speaker 2: a it's a mob movie. Barry Levinson, rain Man, Wag
Speaker 2: the Dog. He plays two different characters in.
Speaker 1: This Yes, de Niro.
Speaker 8: Yeah, and apparently people are saying it's not very good.
Speaker 8: It's already getting like major negative reviews and.
Speaker 1: They're afraid they're not going to make their money back.
Speaker 8: Yes, and I'm like, on a de Niro film in
Speaker 8: the year twenty twenty five, who knew?
Speaker 1: I think?
Speaker 8: You know, it looks like a fun crime movie, mob
Speaker 8: boss type movie, very much in de Niro's wheelhouse.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm kind of changing the way I think
Speaker 1: for big name actors and movies after Flight Risk and
Speaker 1: going to see Mark Wahlberg in that movie. Now, well,
Speaker 1: now I'm gonna do my research. There's certain names for
Speaker 1: me where I'll just go to that movie. Sure, Robert
Speaker 1: de Niro is.
Speaker 4: One of them.
Speaker 8: Do you think that movie stars are really still drawing
Speaker 8: people to the box office? Are you like, I can't
Speaker 8: wait to see the latest Tom Cruise film.
Speaker 1: Like, the only reason I want to go see Flight
Speaker 1: Risks because of Mark Wahlberg and it being a flight thriller.
Speaker 1: Those two things. I was like, how can you screw
Speaker 1: that up? I was on and I wasn't watch me.
Speaker 8: I was on a background actor on a movie called
Speaker 8: Flight of the Living Dead once and I was in zombies.
Speaker 8: It was zombies on a plane, you guys. And it
Speaker 8: was amazing, amazing. Like a little clip sometime and show
Speaker 8: you to see that. I mean like they put me
Speaker 8: in a hot, pink like tracksuit and you just see
Speaker 8: like blood going everywhere.
Speaker 1: I love that. It was amazing.
Speaker 8: One another quick tip before I wouldn't tell you, guys,
