Speaker 1: This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
Speaker 1: A M six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
Speaker 1: demand on the iHeartRadio app. I think's cologne is the
Speaker 1: clone my grandfather used to wear.
Speaker 2: I doubt it. I bet you it's a different bottle. Huh.
Speaker 1: But he was just in here and it smelled like
Speaker 1: my dead grandfather. Oh that was the nicest compliment. No,
Speaker 1: I mean my grandfather who has died. Ah, that's your
Speaker 1: grandfather wore cologne? Yeah, oh yeah, you guys were rich.
Speaker 1: He Uh, my grandfather I think woke up in a
Speaker 1: three piece suit. Oh, always put together, always put together.
Speaker 2: You sure was colonnea, not after shave or something like that.
Speaker 1: It may have been that, Jacob, are you wearing colone
Speaker 1: or after shave? Is it old spice or something like that?
Speaker 2: Is it like DA can't tell you what the brand is?
Speaker 2: By men in or something?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: Bye, men in? What else is going on? What's happening?
Speaker 4: What way morning?
Speaker 5: What's happening is sponsored by Abner Gas water Damage, fire
Speaker 5: Damage Burglary called public Adjuster Abner Gap eight one to
Speaker 5: eight nine one seven five to two five six.
Speaker 6: Well.
Speaker 2: The FED cut interest rates by a quarter point.
Speaker 5: This is the third rate cut since it began a
Speaker 5: lower borrowing costs back in September. This was not unanimous,
Speaker 5: but it is seen as an attempt to ease pressure
Speaker 5: on the economy from some of our interest rates that
Speaker 5: we've seen, try to preserve some of the labor gains
Speaker 5: that we have seen. Cleveland's FED President Beth Hammock was
Speaker 5: the loan dissenter on this decision today. She wanted to
Speaker 5: keep rates at their current levels. FED also signaled in
Speaker 5: its policy statement that came out that it is leaning
Speaker 5: towards holding rates steady in the future.
Speaker 2: So we should see.
Speaker 5: Right now inflation is just above the central banks two
Speaker 5: percent target, but they think that maybe this will do it,
Speaker 5: and we want They have not yet said rates for
Speaker 5: next year, but they did at least pencil not penn it,
Speaker 5: penciled in maybe two rate cuts for next year according
Speaker 5: to their forecasts.
Speaker 1: Luigi Mangioni facing murder and terrorism charges and the killing
Speaker 1: of that United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. The Manhattan Die's
Speaker 1: Office announced that Mangioni is charged with one count of
Speaker 1: first degree murder and furtherance of terrorism and two counts
Speaker 1: of second degree murder, including one as an act of terrorism.
Speaker 1: Interesting charging decision there. The DA Alvin Bragg said that
Speaker 1: this killing was intended to evoke terror.
Speaker 5: We also, just before the top of the hour, found
Speaker 5: out that Luigi has waived extradition. He is expected to
Speaker 5: be returned to New York as soon as tomorrow. A
Speaker 5: judge in Pennsylvania, of course, has to accept the waiver
Speaker 5: or go forward with the scheduled hearing tomorrow morning, immediately
Speaker 5: following a separate hearing on the local charges. The Mangioni
Speaker 5: facers remember he was caught in Pennsylvani with a gun,
Speaker 5: among other things, so that could get him some local charges,
Speaker 5: but obviously they would defer to the murder charge in
Speaker 5: New York.
Speaker 1: Biden insists the unidentified drones pose no sense of danger.
Speaker 1: Left the White House on his way to Delaware yesterday,
Speaker 1: said there is nothing nefarious.
Speaker 5: They're checking it all out. Supreme Court announced today that
Speaker 5: it will quickly take up the challenge by TikTok to
Speaker 5: a federal law that would shut down TikTok next month
Speaker 5: unless the company divests from their Chinese ownership. The Justice
Speaker 5: to Civil consider the law in oral arguments two hours
Speaker 5: of oral arguments coming up on January tenth, and then
Speaker 5: after that a ruling could come at any time. Basically,
Speaker 5: they said that they want it's likely I should say
Speaker 5: that they would have some sort of a decision before
Speaker 5: January nineteenth, since that's the date that Congress set for
Speaker 5: TikTok's parent company, Byte Dance to either sell off the
Speaker 5: American platform of TikTok or be barred in the United States.
Speaker 1: CDC confirms the first case of severe bird flu in
Speaker 1: the US.
Speaker 2: So there's bird flu and then there's severe bird flu.
Speaker 1: There is somebody that has been hospitalized with this in Louisiana.
Speaker 5: They said they were exposed to sick and dead birds
Speaker 5: in backyard flocks. But they still are investigating to see
Speaker 5: specifically if they can pinpoint anything more than that. This
Speaker 5: is the first case of human bird flu in the
Speaker 5: United States linked to exposure to a backyard flock. There
Speaker 5: have been sixty one reported human cases of the bird
Speaker 5: flu since April.
Speaker 1: Do you know a know it all? I feel like
Speaker 1: we have a lot of know it alls in the
Speaker 1: radio world.
Speaker 2: Has that come with it?
Speaker 1: I think we're all like that. I know I'm like
Speaker 1: that you are a know it all. Yes, I feel
Speaker 1: like you cannot tell me anything. I mean, I know
Speaker 1: I don't know it all.
Speaker 2: But well that's a very know it all thing to say, right.
Speaker 1: But I think that this business attracts people who want
Speaker 1: to know it all or have a curiosity to know
Speaker 1: as much as possible.
Speaker 2: That's what we do.
Speaker 5: I want to Yes, I want to get into that
Speaker 5: because one of the things that my father used to
Speaker 5: say all the time, and it was not necessarily meant
Speaker 5: to be serious, was if you say something with conviction,
Speaker 5: people will believe you. Yeah, like the thing that my
Speaker 5: father used to always tell me.
Speaker 2: What was that?
Speaker 5: If you say something with conviction, people will believe you. Okay,
Speaker 5: like the thing that my father used to always.
Speaker 2: Tell or did he? Oh see, yeah, if you say
Speaker 2: it with conviction.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm thinking about your dad had such a
Speaker 1: kind face?
Speaker 5: Okay, yes? Well or did it skip a generation? Is
Speaker 5: that what you're asking?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just because when you say that with your
Speaker 1: serious face, it comes across as me serious and your
Speaker 1: dad would never come.
Speaker 2: Across like that. Uh he said some bad words late
Speaker 2: in his life. Well, everyone does.
Speaker 5: A quick bird flu's up. Just this came in just
Speaker 5: a short time ago. Gavin Newsom has declared a state
Speaker 5: of emergency because of bird flu. Really emergency follows the
Speaker 5: outbreak in some farms along central California Valley. According to
Speaker 5: a news release, the initial reports came out of Texas
Speaker 5: and Kansas in March. There have been no cases of
Speaker 5: human transmission of bird flu in California, but they said
Speaker 5: the proclamation is targeted to ensure government agencies have the
Speaker 5: resources and flexibility they need to respond quickly to this outbreak.
Speaker 1: Know it alls the psychology behind why people think they
Speaker 1: know everything.
Speaker 2: We'll talk about it when we come back.
Speaker 7: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 7: AM six.
Speaker 1: Forty am six forty Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1: TMZ is running this story about Luig that he flexed
Speaker 1: his wealth on vacation before the shooting. Apparently you mentioned
Speaker 1: the big buzz he had in the bank on a
Speaker 1: trip to Thailand. A source who doesn't want to be
Speaker 1: identified by name reports TMZ but spent significant time with
Speaker 1: Luigi back in April, says the two of them went
Speaker 1: to Thailand together. They hit up bars, they visited a
Speaker 1: weed shop, they cracked jokes, They hung out for a
Speaker 1: couple of days. According to this friend, Luigi was making
Speaker 1: lawyer money coding for True Car, a telling statement because
Speaker 1: he reportedly stopped working for them months before going to Thailand. Apparently,
Speaker 1: Luigi told their source he had six million dollars in
Speaker 1: the bank, all of it coming from his family. Talking
Speaker 1: about his family seemed to be a sore subject, so
Speaker 1: he didn't press Luigi on it. He also has a
Speaker 1: memory of Luigi saying that he owned a three D printer.
Speaker 1: I remember it's been reported that police believe the gun
Speaker 1: he used was three D printed.
Speaker 2: They've also pulled back from that old World War II.
Speaker 2: It's a style Oh god right, yeah, because I don't
Speaker 2: know it was three D printed.
Speaker 5: Well, it's yeah, part of it is three D printed
Speaker 5: the way that it was described. The most recent report
Speaker 5: I saw about the kind of gun that he used.
Speaker 5: NASA's two struck as stuck astronauts got stuck more. Their
Speaker 5: space mission got extended again, butch Wilmore and Sunny Williams
Speaker 5: planned on being away for just a week or so
Speaker 5: when they blasted off at the beginning of June on
Speaker 5: the first astronaut flight from Boeing to the International Space Station,
Speaker 5: but it went from eight days to about eight months
Speaker 5: and maybe longer. NASA decided to send the Starliner capsule
Speaker 5: back empty in September, so now they can't return until
Speaker 5: somebody goes and gets them, which might not be till
Speaker 5: the end of March or even April because of the
Speaker 5: latest delay in launching their replacements.
Speaker 2: What's your common refrain whenever I'd bring up that story
Speaker 2: about Butch and Sonny on the International Space Station? Underwear? Underwear?
Speaker 2: They ran out of underwear months ago.
Speaker 1: You go, you pack for seven days and you end
Speaker 1: up staying seven months.
Speaker 2: They can launder, they have, they have the capability of laundering.
Speaker 2: How many underwear do you have in rotation? A lot?
Speaker 1: Yeah, too many too, because that's what it should be.
Speaker 1: It's just because I shn't be rotating the same five
Speaker 1: more because I don't throw stuff away. Oh so you've
Speaker 1: got like old holy underwear? Uh, the oldest pair of underwear.
Speaker 2: Six years? Seven years? Maybe? I think, okay, maybe eight,
Speaker 2: but no more than that. That'd be crazy. You have
Speaker 2: underwear as old as this show.
Speaker 1: Probably, Oh my gosh, let's let's do something about that.
Speaker 5: Well, what do you think I'm doing in that underwear?
Speaker 5: That you think that that. Never mind, let's go there.
Speaker 5: Everybody knows and know it all. Everybody knows Somebody who
Speaker 5: you cannot inform them about anything. They know it all
Speaker 5: long before you did. Someone who enthusiastically will lecture you
Speaker 5: about any topic, any area, despite the fact that you
Speaker 5: can tell pretty apparently that they have no expertise in
Speaker 5: what they're talking about.
Speaker 2: Do you think know it alls bother know it alls
Speaker 2: the most? Is that why I'm putting this tone on it?
Speaker 1: Because maybe there are several quirks of human psychology that
Speaker 1: help explain this behavior. One is the phenomenon of naive realism,
Speaker 1: which describes how people instinctively assume that their perception of
Speaker 1: the world reflects objective reality. In action. Yeah, In actuality,
Speaker 1: everything we perceive and know about the world has been
Speaker 1: filtered through a complex mesh of cognitive biases, sensory shortcuts, shifting,
Speaker 1: emotion infused.
Speaker 2: Memories, and more and more.
Speaker 1: In effect, you you are the lens to which you
Speaker 1: see the world through which you see the world.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And the more part of that could be the
Speaker 5: media that we consume on a regular basis than deciding
Speaker 5: what kind of information even makes it to that filter. Sure,
Speaker 5: in the form of algorithms or whatever in social media,
Speaker 5: that's why.
Speaker 1: We encounter people whose understanding of the world is very
Speaker 1: different to our own.
Speaker 2: But it also it also.
Speaker 1: Means we assume that those who understand the world differently
Speaker 1: are wrong, that that's the wrong way of it.
Speaker 2: That's frustrating for a lot of people.
Speaker 5: The result of this is an urge to correct other people,
Speaker 5: and it may be well intended, but doesn't often it
Speaker 5: is not received very well, very often, they said. Another
Speaker 5: potential cognitive bias at work proposed by this recent study
Speaker 5: is the illusion of information adequacy. How how though many
Speaker 5: people don't have all the information to make a correct
Speaker 5: judgment about something, they'll assume they've got everything that they need.
Speaker 5: And it's logically very hard to recognize and take account
Speaker 5: of what we don't know.
Speaker 2: Too many times we don't know what we don't know.
Speaker 1: I've been trying to do this more like I'll ask
Speaker 1: you or my husband, who are too smart, people who
Speaker 1: are not impulsive feelers of things, Hey, am I wrong
Speaker 1: in thinking this? Or am I wrong in doing this?
Speaker 1: Or am I wrong in being upset about X, Y
Speaker 1: or Z or hurt or whatever? Because I need input
Speaker 1: from people who are not like me.
Speaker 2: Right, It's like.
Speaker 5: Sometimes I need my wife to tell me if my
Speaker 5: dog is listening to me when I give him the
Speaker 5: command sit, because from my perspective, I can't tell he's
Speaker 5: that low to the ground to begin with. But if
Speaker 5: I had somebody over there who had a more objective
Speaker 5: view of his hindside, she would say, yes, he is sitting,
Speaker 5: or no, he is not sitting, or yes, you're completely
Speaker 5: overreacting to that situation because you're in it and you
Speaker 5: can't you don't have the perspective that you need for right.
Speaker 5: They say this could be a status thing. Also, some
Speaker 5: people are more sensitive to social status and constantly pushing
Speaker 5: their opinions that they think are correct. Their correct opinions
Speaker 5: onto others may be a way of asserting superiority or
Speaker 5: dominance in some way. A lot of people who have
Speaker 5: very low self esteem in reality are some of these
Speaker 5: know it all people, because that's the way that they
Speaker 5: try to exert dominance, whether they're correct or not.
Speaker 1: That's the old Dunn and Kruger effect, right, the contintive
Speaker 1: bias where people with limited competence in a certain area
Speaker 1: overestimate their abilities to make up for that because of
Speaker 1: that insecurity you were talking about.
Speaker 5: And there's I don't know when it happens. I don't
Speaker 5: know if it's a thing that ever happens. I don't
Speaker 5: know if it's a thing that reliably happens to people
Speaker 5: of a certain age, if some people grow out of it,
Speaker 5: if it is sort of the moment the light switch
Speaker 5: goes on for people. But when you start to college
Speaker 5: is probably this for a lot of people.
Speaker 2: To some degree.
Speaker 5: You grew up in a town, you had a certain
Speaker 5: group of friends, your town had a certain culture to it.
Speaker 5: Then you drive six hours or you fly across the
Speaker 5: country to go to school, and you're with people you've
Speaker 5: never met before, from backgrounds you've only heard about in movies,
Speaker 5: who lived lives completely different than you, but you're in
Speaker 5: that same place for the same reason.
Speaker 1: My husband got a full ride to Harvard, grew up
Speaker 1: in Lamarada and went to Harvard, where he was surrounded
Speaker 1: by you went to cal State Fullerton, So this was
Speaker 1: for law school.
Speaker 2: Or what have you?
Speaker 1: Surrounded by kids who went to prep schools and grew
Speaker 1: up on the East Coast and had trust funds and all.
Speaker 1: It was so foreign to him that he came back
Speaker 1: and ended up going to Stanford, but it was so
Speaker 1: it was such a culture shock when you know, you
Speaker 1: like you and I. We kind of grew up the
Speaker 1: same area, had the same you know, things happened similar,
Speaker 1: or family structures and all of that. So it's just
Speaker 1: kind of not foreign to us to have a conversation
Speaker 1: or what have you and people go, how come you
Speaker 1: guys get along soul? Well, we've had a lot of
Speaker 1: the same life experiences. So it's weird when you think
Speaker 1: of being confronted with someone with such a different background
Speaker 1: and thinking that that's okay, it's just different.
Speaker 5: And that's my point is that's when the light switch
Speaker 5: gets flipped and you go, oh, I don't know what
Speaker 5: I don't know? Right, there are people who have different
Speaker 5: lives in different worlds that don't I mean, wouldn't even
Speaker 5: come close to comparing to the life that you grew up, right,
Speaker 5: all right, what you're watching Wednesday is going to come
Speaker 5: up in a bit. We're also going to talk a
Speaker 5: little bit about if you are long hair beard, you
Speaker 5: know you like sandals, we got a job gas jobs
Speaker 5: alert for you.
Speaker 2: As coming out it seems a little sacrilegious. Why is that.
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know if people should be pretending to
Speaker 1: be Jesus.
Speaker 2: You know, let you think about that for a moment.
Speaker 7: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 7: AM six forty.
Speaker 5: The House Ethics Committee has voted in secret to release
Speaker 5: a long awaited ethics report into former Congressman Matt Gates.
Speaker 5: This move raises the possibility that the allegations against him,
Speaker 5: and he was of course Trump's first choice for attorney general,
Speaker 5: these allegations could be made public in just well by tomorrow.
Speaker 5: As a matter of fact, the decision by the bipartisan
Speaker 5: committee was made earlier this month. Gates lashed out on
Speaker 5: social media and again said if there were any criminal
Speaker 5: things that he did wrong.
Speaker 2: They would have been brought up in court.
Speaker 1: The Dow Jones fell just over six hundred points at
Speaker 1: one point today and afternoon trading and investors turn, they say,
Speaker 1: investors turned sour when they learn the Fed would likely
Speaker 1: only cut rates twice next year. Dow is on pace
Speaker 1: for its worst losing streak since nineteen seventy four, when
Speaker 1: it went through an eleven day slide.
Speaker 5: Yeah, this would be the tenth day, and there's no
Speaker 5: reason there's no reason to think that it would.
Speaker 2: That it would stop tomorrow. I don't know.
Speaker 5: I mean, it was up about three hundred points earlier today,
Speaker 5: and like you said, the Dow is down eight hundred
Speaker 5: right now forty two thousand. It's still within a couple
Speaker 5: of percentage points of its all time high, so it's
Speaker 5: not crazy, but a ten day losing streak would be significant.
Speaker 1: Models who look like Jesus are in high demand in Utah.
Speaker 1: For a growing number of people in Utah, a picture
Speaker 1: is not complete without him. Capital h They're hiring Jesus
Speaker 1: lookalikes for family portraits and wedding announcements. I was wondering
Speaker 1: what the next iteration of family pictures and wedding announcements
Speaker 1: would be, because I feel like we've reached peak family pictures.
Speaker 1: They're all the same. You're like in a field somewhere.
Speaker 1: Everyone's in kind of like matching clothes, and it's like, huh.
Speaker 2: A little candied.
Speaker 1: It went from stage to candid. It used to be
Speaker 1: you know, you go to seers or somewhere like that,
Speaker 1: and you wear your best clothes and you just sit
Speaker 1: down and you have fake smiles, and then it went
Speaker 1: to the field out in the nature with the candid things.
Speaker 5: I've split the difference between those two. It was totally staged.
Speaker 5: But we were at the Railroad Museum in Sacramento. Oh
Speaker 5: that's cool, and I was wearing tapered jeans.
Speaker 1: Sometimes I think the better the family portrait, the more dysfunction.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, the more polished the picture on the mantle, right,
Speaker 5: the less harmony in.
Speaker 1: The Christmas Time's a fun time for me opening up
Speaker 1: those cards because you want to know like a backstory.
Speaker 2: And you want to know which pictures didn't make.
Speaker 1: The totally anyway, Apparently Jesus the thing to put in
Speaker 1: your pictures in Utah.
Speaker 2: I guess listen there. I will say this.
Speaker 5: I do think that there's a certain amount of sacrilege
Speaker 5: to this.
Speaker 2: I really do, because look at this one.
Speaker 1: This is a Jesus in a field wearing like robes
Speaker 1: that you would see in a picture of Jesus in
Speaker 1: a children's book or something like that, and he's holding
Speaker 1: the kids on his knee like he's Santa.
Speaker 5: Claus, but it's Jesus. It's just bizarre. It's also concerning
Speaker 5: that this is a very Americanized Jesus. And to go
Speaker 5: back very white. To go back to the last segment
Speaker 5: of you don't know what you don't know if you
Speaker 5: grew up in any sort of church in America in
Speaker 5: the last two hundred years, Jesus was a white guy,
Speaker 5: blonde hair, blue eyed, right, perfect skin, you know, close
Speaker 5: cropped beard.
Speaker 1: That's not what he looked like. Well, mean, you also
Speaker 1: know that you don't know what Jesus looked like.
Speaker 5: Right, but I can guarantee that that's very far from
Speaker 5: what he actually left.
Speaker 2: That's one way to put Jesus.
Speaker 5: The guy walked around all day, was probably pretty dirty
Speaker 5: unless people washed his feet, and we know that he
Speaker 5: was washing other people's feets.
Speaker 1: He probably washed his own feet as well. He was
Speaker 1: probably Cleanliness is next to godliness.
Speaker 2: Go on, that's at the eleventh commandment. That's it.
Speaker 1: And you can't get closer to God than being the
Speaker 1: son of God, can you.
Speaker 5: They say that this is interestingly in Utah, obviously, because
Speaker 5: Utah has a high concentration of our Mormon friends. Our
Speaker 5: Mormon friends tend to if you work or volunteer for
Speaker 5: the church, they have an expectation that you're going to
Speaker 5: shave every day.
Speaker 2: Oh is that right? Yes?
Speaker 5: And they do not necessarily. I don't know if they'd
Speaker 5: make you cut your hair.
Speaker 2: They're like the Yankees.
Speaker 5: Kind of yes, they would prefer that your hair be
Speaker 5: short and that you have a clean shaven face. So
Speaker 5: finding somebody to portray Jesus in the Mormon Church is
Speaker 5: not is not easy to come by.
Speaker 1: Saying it's like Johnny Damon with the Red Sox as
Speaker 1: opposed to Johnny Damon with the Yankees.
Speaker 5: Right, Johnny Damon with the Red Sox was Captain Caveman, right,
Speaker 5: a lot of.
Speaker 1: Hair and with he looks kind of like what Jesus
Speaker 1: would have looked like a little.
Speaker 5: Bit, Yeah, if he were slightly chro magnum, Yes, a
Speaker 5: little bit.
Speaker 2: He's got a little bit of that cave Man too. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I know, very heavy bro, good looking guy. Okay, all right,
Speaker 2: keep it in your justin Timberlakes, all right, keep it
Speaker 2: in your dance belts.
Speaker 1: Oh how old is Johnny Damon?
Speaker 2: Now he's forty, he is fifty one. Johnny Damon is
Speaker 2: my age? Yeah, look at that? Wow? Okay.
Speaker 3: Garyan Shannon Jessica from big Fork, Montana, Sun Christmas Fact
Speaker 3: for your Community Family Planning Center has an ad on
Speaker 3: the local classic radio station that changes the words from
Speaker 3: Santa Claus is coming to town to talk about We'll
Speaker 3: help you find out if you have pubic life.
Speaker 2: Wow, why did you play that? What's the matter with you?
Speaker 2: You just let anything through? Okay.
Speaker 8: I live next door to a been there, Done that.
Speaker 8: We call her been there, done that, taught the class,
Speaker 8: bought the T shirt and she has to have won up you.
Speaker 8: If you've done it, she did it better. So annoying.
Speaker 2: I'm Christmas, Merry Christmas. I know somebody like that who
Speaker 2: you're looking at me.
Speaker 1: You'll say like, I went to Tahiti Chili's last night,
Speaker 1: and they'll go like, oh, you got to go to
Speaker 1: Michili my CHILIESE is the best Chili's. Like everything that
Speaker 1: they choose to do is the best. And it's a conversation.
Speaker 1: Uh tick. I don't think that they truly believe that
Speaker 1: everything that they do is the best. It's not you, no, no,
Speaker 1: I no, no. I know that you're trying to figure
Speaker 1: out who it is. I think I do know who
Speaker 1: it is, really, I.
Speaker 2: Think, so write it down. Oh I don't want there
Speaker 2: to be a record of this.
Speaker 9: Hi, Gary and Shannon, you talk about know it all
Speaker 9: is I always think of Gene Simmons. He's one of
Speaker 9: those guys. But the only catch is he actually does
Speaker 9: know pretty much at all. At one time, was playing
Speaker 9: pool with him at a rehearsal studio and he proceeded
Speaker 9: to tell me it was before Christmas. He proceeded to
Speaker 9: tell me all about the disciples and the apostles and
Speaker 9: the difference between and he seemed to know everything.
Speaker 5: So there you go, he said it with confidence. Yeah,
Speaker 5: Gene Simmons know it all.
Speaker 7: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 7: AM six forty.
Speaker 2: Trying to figure this out. I think there's two shows
Speaker 2: that I was going to talk about, but I don't remember.
Speaker 2: I don't know if this is the right one. Well,
Speaker 2: you were going to talk about the new season of
Speaker 2: The Diplomat. Are you okay? I'm having a stroke. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's specifically what I was going to talk about. Let's
Speaker 2: start with what you watch on Wednesday. The following program
Speaker 2: is brought to you in living colors, but you're watching
Speaker 2: in that Americas love television. They win their kids USA
Speaker 2: television match at about.
Speaker 10: Watching too many of those live television shows.
Speaker 2: So let's start with quickly, what you are watching.
Speaker 6: Hey, Garan Shannon, what I'm watching this week is Shrinking,
Speaker 6: which is super good. Yep. Awesome to see Harrison Ford
Speaker 6: and thanks to Shannon. Also watched The Man on the Inside.
Speaker 6: Good recommendation, Shannon, It's awesome. Hey, Gary, Just want to
Speaker 6: let you know, next time your wife says anything, just
Speaker 6: let her know low T is better than no tea
Speaker 6: pudd You guys have a great week.
Speaker 2: Good point. Yeah, that is. I'll make sure I fight
Speaker 2: back with that one. You could just be like low estrogen.
Speaker 2: That would be great, she said, a great comeback. I
Speaker 2: feel like that would be the last thing I said,
Speaker 2: and jam David SANCAMENTI.
Speaker 4: Yeah, My wife and I do date night in Las
Speaker 4: Vegas every year between Christmas and New Year's.
Speaker 2: Here are the roles.
Speaker 4: Steak, dinner, go see a show, go party at night,
Speaker 4: and then Top Golf in the morning with a breakfast burrito.
Speaker 2: And a bloody taken that.
Speaker 4: Midday flight home less than twenty four hours on, always
Speaker 4: wanting more, but never too much.
Speaker 2: Yeah, see you, It's so true.
Speaker 1: I'm a twenty four hour Vegas person for sure. I
Speaker 1: love Top Golf too. I have never gone to Top
Speaker 1: Golf in the morning. I've only gone at evening.
Speaker 2: Buddy of mine's son works at a similt not top golf,
Speaker 2: but a top golf adjacent facility, and somewhere in Scottsdale.
Speaker 2: I may go see him when I'm out there.
Speaker 5: Scottsdale's beautiful, Yeah, especially early January.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, gorgeous. Forty degrees in the morning, it's
Speaker 2: sixty eight by the afternoon. That sounds like fun.
Speaker 5: The Diplomat is the show that I was going to
Speaker 5: talk about. The Diplomat Season two has started. This is
Speaker 5: starring Carrie Russell and Roof Fasul as her husband, and
Speaker 5: a couple of other pretty high level quality actors and actresses.
Speaker 5: I don't think there's a lot of names in there
Speaker 5: that she would recognize, but she it takes over as
Speaker 5: the US Ambassador to the UK, and then international crises
Speaker 5: pop up around her and she's got to figure out who.
Speaker 5: I mean, she doesn't have to, but she helps figure
Speaker 5: out who is responsible for these international crises.
Speaker 2: And I don't want to give it anyway because there's
Speaker 2: too much in there.
Speaker 5: There is a British version, also called The Diplomats. I
Speaker 5: don't know why they were able to put both of
Speaker 5: these shows on at the same time. But this is
Speaker 5: a British diplomat who with her Barcelona Council colleague and friend,
Speaker 5: is to figuring out how to protect British nationals involved
Speaker 5: in a series of conflicts in Barcelona, or as they say.
Speaker 2: But I haven't seen that before. But I was looking
Speaker 2: up and I didn't realize that they both started in
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three on the air at the same time.
Speaker 1: Fire Country, my favorite soap opera network soap Opera, has
Speaker 1: ended that season.
Speaker 2: Cliffhanger too. It sounds very sad about it.
Speaker 6: I am.
Speaker 1: I really liked Fire Country. It is so kitchy, it
Speaker 1: is so erroneous. There's a major fire event at this
Speaker 1: small fire camp like every every week.
Speaker 2: And didn't we say CalFire is not very happy with him.
Speaker 1: That's what Alex said, that Calfire's not happy with it.
Speaker 1: But to me, it's like a love let. It's like
Speaker 1: a give us all the funding. We fall in love
Speaker 1: with these characters and sign off on all the funding
Speaker 1: we asked for kind of things.
Speaker 2: To see if it impacts recruitment for CalFire.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think the guys that would or girls
Speaker 1: that would. Yeah, maybe maybe it definitely romanticizes firefighting, wildland firefighting.
Speaker 5: I mean, Tom Cruise just got an award, the highest
Speaker 5: civilian award that the Navy gives out, for his work
Speaker 5: with Top Gun and saying that that was one of
Speaker 5: the reasons why the Navy has done well with recruits
Speaker 5: is because of his not because Tom Cruise is a
Speaker 5: great guy, but his role, his work with military groups
Speaker 5: has always been on the up and up. Finished Yellowstone
Speaker 5: season five. They did a two hour finale to bring
Speaker 5: all of this stuff to an end. Although they set
Speaker 5: it up for a nice spin off. It looks like
Speaker 5: Rip and what's her face? Beth, Rip and Beth could
Speaker 5: have another series. They bought a whole property similar to
Speaker 5: what they gave up and so it was.
Speaker 2: It was well done.
Speaker 5: I mean without Kevin Costner, this last half of this
Speaker 5: fifth season kind of felt weird, kind of goofy. They
Speaker 5: do that there was some contract thing that he couldn't
Speaker 5: come to, which I didn't understand.
Speaker 2: How could you do a half a season but not
Speaker 2: the second half?
Speaker 1: And doesn't he need money after he sunk all of
Speaker 1: his cash into those failed movies.
Speaker 5: No, he's fine, It'll be just fine, Okay, but they
Speaker 5: kind of had to write around that in the first
Speaker 5: episode of that second half and kill him off pretty
Speaker 5: quick and then make the rest of it about finding
Speaker 5: who did it. And it played out exactly the way
Speaker 5: you would have expected, so that part of it wasn't
Speaker 5: but it was a beautifully shot show.
Speaker 2: Should I watch that show? Or has that ship sailed?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I think you'd still like it. Yeah, okay, I mean
Speaker 2: I don't want to tell you that Kevin Costner's character dies.
Speaker 2: Well I knew, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5: But there is that And then, like the guy said, shrinking,
Speaker 5: just an absolute delight.
Speaker 10: Like excited, go watch the latest episode today. It's a
Speaker 10: delightful show. It is, yes, very delightful. So that's on
Speaker 10: Apple TV and tomorrow. The Housewives are awful. By the way,
Speaker 10: this season of The Beverly Hills Housewives, it's awful. Did
Speaker 10: you think it was so watchable good? Or I just
Speaker 10: thought it would be the status quo kind of good?
Speaker 10: But all the it's at the point where the cast
Speaker 10: has been together so long, all the things have already happened.
Speaker 10: Now they're just like Michelle was saying earlier, acting and
Speaker 10: they're all very uninteresting, except for Kathy Hilton. I'd watch
Speaker 10: a Kathy Hilton reality show all day long.
Speaker 2: He's kind of she's kind of baddie. She's fantastic and unpredictable.
Speaker 5: Tomorrow we're gonna be doing our annual Christmas show. We'll
Speaker 5: be doing It's a KFI Wonderful Life in the eleven
Speaker 5: o'clock hour tomorrow, and then on Friday we have a
Speaker 5: special special treat during the show.
