Speaker 4: since it is a Friday, we're going to be doing
Speaker 4: what you learned this week on The Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 4: So leave us a leave us a message on the
Speaker 4: talkback feature on the iHeart app and tell us what
Speaker 4: you learned.
Speaker 2: While listening to the show. Today.
Speaker 4: An awful story out of Lancaster Investigating authorities investigating the
Speaker 4: death of a seven year old boy found shot to
Speaker 4: death in a home believed that he had gone to
Speaker 4: a friend's house. Don't know if he found a gun.
Speaker 4: They were playing with a gun. Exactly what happened. The
Speaker 4: deputies responded to a home on Dahalia Street yesterday found
Speaker 4: the seven year old boy with a critical gunshot wound.
Speaker 4: He was pronounced dead at the scene there by the paramedics.
Speaker 4: France is expressing concern about growing military cooperation between North
Speaker 4: Korea and Russia after South Korean intelligence said that the
Speaker 4: North was deploying many troops to support Moscow's war in Ukraine.
Speaker 4: The Foreign Ministry spokesman for France set an increase in
Speaker 4: North Korean cross cooperation in military support for the Russian
Speaker 4: war effort is very worrying. Earlier today, the spy agency
Speaker 4: out of South Korea said that North Korea has been
Speaker 4: sending large scaled troops to support Moscow's war in Ukraine.
Speaker 4: Fifteen hundred special forces from North Korea already in the
Speaker 4: far East of Russia and undergoing training.
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris is bringing out the big guns. That's where
Speaker 1: we kick off Swamp watch.
Speaker 2: The swamp is horrible.
Speaker 1: The government doesn't work. Man gonna make it like a
Speaker 1: reality TV show. Bad news.
Speaker 2: Always a pleasure to be anywhere from Washington, d C.
Speaker 1: Hey, Joe, A town all too clearly built on a
Speaker 1: swamp and in so many ways still a swamp.
Speaker 2: I have a batch of Malarkeebody.
Speaker 5: Said, drained the swamp, I said, Oh, that's so hell.
Speaker 6: You know the thing.
Speaker 1: Well. The Obamas will make their first campaign appearances alongside
Speaker 1: at Kamala Harris next week at rallies in Georgia and Michigan.
Speaker 1: Democrats have long waited to deploy the former first couple
Speaker 1: of surrogates for Kamala Harris. She remained the country's most
Speaker 1: popular political figures on that sign.
Speaker 4: Interesting, do you believe that Obama is in charge of
Speaker 4: the Democratic Party?
Speaker 1: It would make me feel better than if Joe Biden
Speaker 1: was at the helm.
Speaker 2: Well, there is that.
Speaker 4: One of the things that Kamala Harris has been able
Speaker 4: to do in the campaign over the last couple of
Speaker 4: days is continue to go after Donald Trump, specifically as
Speaker 4: opposed to laying out specific policies, as opposed to drawing
Speaker 4: people to the Democratic Party. She's they both do it,
Speaker 4: but she's feeding the meat to her base by saying
Speaker 4: that Donald Trump is the threat to democracy.
Speaker 6: He who has vowed, if re elected, he will be
Speaker 6: a dictator on day one, that he will weaponize the
Speaker 6: Department of just against his political enemies. He who calls
Speaker 6: Americans who disagree with him the enemy from within and
Speaker 6: yes and says that if re elected, he would use
Speaker 6: the military to go after them.
Speaker 1: It's interesting how we're using the words we associate with
Speaker 1: our fiercest enemies to speak about fellow Americans, whether it's fascist, dictator,
Speaker 1: or communist. We're describing the people that are going to
Speaker 1: run this country as the adjectives we use to describe
Speaker 1: our worst enemies.
Speaker 4: Right, did you think of the lap of the last
Speaker 4: one hundred plus years of the world. Those are the
Speaker 4: people who have created, started been responsible for some of
Speaker 4: the worst atrocities, starting the world wars.
Speaker 2: Those are the people.
Speaker 4: And that's the language that we use for our political
Speaker 4: opponents here.
Speaker 2: I mean, what else are you going to do?
Speaker 4: Everything is everything is stood up supercharged. It's got to
Speaker 4: be turbocharged superlatives. That's what we work in. You can't
Speaker 4: just the best or the worst have a cordial disagreement
Speaker 4: with anybody anymore. No, she also Kamala Harris. Actually she
Speaker 4: We've played plenty of Trump gaffes that has that have occurred.
Speaker 6: She's stood up to veterans and stood up for excuse me,
Speaker 6: stood up for veterans and students being scammed.
Speaker 4: Now, that was kind of a funny thing because the
Speaker 4: big headlines about how she's that's not ridiculous.
Speaker 1: It really isn't. It's it's like when he got raped
Speaker 1: over the Coles for saying Ashley Babbitt died, nobody died.
Speaker 1: It's like, it's obviously just misspeaking. And you know what,
Speaker 1: you and I do it all the time.
Speaker 4: Easy, not you and I, You and me.
Speaker 1: We're going to get a lot, a lot.
Speaker 4: But don't forget these people are talking now, especially as
Speaker 4: we get closer to election day. They're talking three four
Speaker 4: five hours a day. You're gonna catch them, You're gonna
Speaker 4: get them to say something stupid, and that just happened
Speaker 4: to be one of them. One of the big deals
Speaker 4: that came out from the Democratic National Committee is that
Speaker 4: they're using Taylor Swift's Miami Era's tour shows for a
Speaker 4: big voter push.
Speaker 2: Not a huge.
Speaker 4: Surprise considering Taylor Swift has come out and supported Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1: She posted a video Taylor Swift read into this what
Speaker 1: you will. If you want to read nothing into it,
Speaker 1: that's fine too. But she posted a video about an
Speaker 1: hour ago on social media of her and the cameras
Speaker 1: shooting her as she's walking into the stadium and it's
Speaker 1: her backside and she's just walking and wear jeans on
Speaker 1: a sweater or something, and then it flips around to
Speaker 1: the front of Taylor Swift and she's holding her cat
Speaker 1: and she's petting her cat and she's inside the stadium
Speaker 1: and it's like getting ready for the Miami Eras tour
Speaker 1: or what have you. And you can didn't do it that.
Speaker 1: That's like I'm a cat lady kind of a thing. Right,
Speaker 1: going back against what Vance said she wants the president
Speaker 1: to be a woman of color. Why because the cat's
Speaker 1: name is Olivia Benson? Is it isn't that? Wasn't that
Speaker 1: the name from SVU?
Speaker 2: No? Is that who it is? So I'm thinking of
Speaker 2: the wrong show. Then what show were you thinking of
Speaker 2: where what's her face? Was?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 2: President?
Speaker 4: No, it's Kerrie Washington and she wasn't the president she
Speaker 4: was she was dad around with the president.
Speaker 1: You're ruining all of this? Was it a dog dad?
Speaker 4: Olivia Benson is the character from SVUDD Law and Order SVU.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, also show I've never seen.
Speaker 1: You've never seen Law and Order s VU. You've never
Speaker 1: seen that program?
Speaker 2: Correct?
Speaker 1: Wow? Is it because you hate women with badges?
Speaker 2: No? I like Marisco Argetary. I think how could you.
Speaker 1: Know that you like Mariska Hargetar without seeing that show.
Speaker 2: Let's pump this. This is apparently a trigger for you.
Speaker 2: I didn't know that. Let's talk about this.
Speaker 1: It's a great show. I'm not saying I think you'd
Speaker 1: really like that show.
Speaker 2: Is it better than this show? Because?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Okay, set the bar high.
Speaker 4: God, Speaking of which, no, enough time. I don't know
Speaker 4: why you think that I was watching Tyra Banks in
Speaker 4: a bikini earlier.
Speaker 3: Come on, Shannon, you ragged on poor Gary because he
Speaker 3: looked at a hot pretty woman. And I promise you
Speaker 3: I could almost guarantee my life that if it was
Speaker 3: a man in his show knees and he had junk
Speaker 3: in the trunk.
Speaker 1: Oh and he had a six pack. Now, let's eight pack.
Speaker 3: You would be doing the same darn thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, exactly My point.
Speaker 3: No, you would admit it knowing you.
Speaker 1: Yes. And the point was when we were talking about
Speaker 1: the Victoria Secret Runway Show or whatever, and Gary's like,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't spend one minute looking at that, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: but if it was on, you'd probably look at it
Speaker 1: just because it's pretty girls in lingerie. And he's like, no,
Speaker 1: and so that's my way.
Speaker 2: No, I just I'm not going to go search it
Speaker 2: out right.
Speaker 1: Right, right, But I just saw your face go to
Speaker 1: that screen when that pretty girl in the lingerie was
Speaker 1: on this morning, and so it proved my point and
Speaker 1: it made me feel good in a weird way.
Speaker 2: That is a weird way for good.
Speaker 4: The Texas Supreme Court halted in execution yesterday of Robert Roberson.
Speaker 4: This is a guy who was convicted of killing his
Speaker 4: two year old daughter. And the reason they halted the
Speaker 4: execution was not because of the case, at least not yet.
Speaker 4: There was an intervention from a group of members of
Speaker 4: the Texas State House of Representatives. They actually issued a
Speaker 4: subpoena for this guy this death Row inmate to testify
Speaker 4: before the legislature coming up on Monday. So that is
Speaker 4: there's a procedural question of can the legislative arm of
Speaker 4: the Texas state government somehow get involved in the executions
Speaker 4: of inmates by requiring them to appear before a House
Speaker 4: or Senate committee hearing. So that led to this decision,
Speaker 4: not the facts of this case. Because the execution could
Speaker 4: not be carried out before midnight last night, they're going
Speaker 4: to have to go through and set a new date.
Speaker 1: Right now, the Santa Ana wins are supposed to be
Speaker 1: at their peak whipping through the area. Obviously, temperatures are
Speaker 1: going to be up. Concerns about possible wildfires as well.
Speaker 1: They say mid to late morning today, the strongest winds
Speaker 1: will be in the usual Santa Ana prone area's Highway
Speaker 1: fourteen corridor, San Gabriel Mountains west during San Fernando Valley,
Speaker 1: Simi Valley, Kinejo Valley, Santa Monica Mountains, Malibu, especially east
Speaker 1: of Point Doom.
Speaker 3: There.
Speaker 1: They say win's going to peak about fifty five miles
Speaker 1: per hour.
Speaker 4: So former President Trump has come out against Special Council
Speaker 4: Jack Smith and the judge overseeing the election subversion case
Speaker 4: out of DC. The decision that came out today was
Speaker 4: the judge unsealed about nineteen hundred pages of evidence that
Speaker 4: Special Council Jack Smith put together in putting this election
Speaker 4: interference case together, posting it online. But almost every single
Speaker 4: page of the nineteen hundred pages is completely redacted, which
Speaker 4: means you can't see a word. Many of the pages
Speaker 4: fully unviewable. They said that there is still a little
Speaker 4: from what you can see, it's a little tiny window
Speaker 4: into how wide ranging this case is. Most of what
Speaker 4: you can see in the new documents are already out there,
Speaker 4: transcripts from the January sixth committee, some press releases from
Speaker 4: Secretaries of State, texts of Trump's rally speech, and the
Speaker 4: phone call with officials in Georgia, election certificates that showed
Speaker 4: President Biden was the winner of twenty twenty. One of
Speaker 4: those exhibits appears to review much of the Twitter activity
Speaker 4: activity from the period of the election. The judge released
Speaker 4: this information despite objections from former President Trump, saying that
Speaker 4: this desire to shield the information because of election amounted
Speaker 4: to its own form of interference. But Trump took the
Speaker 4: truth social and said, quote, this is the judge is
Speaker 4: the most evil person who's on a radio show also
Speaker 4: and said the judge is allowing him to do it,
Speaker 4: him being Jack Smith, and it's not even believable. This
Speaker 4: guy is a sick puppy and they're going to release
Speaker 4: something else. And always before the election, it's election interference.
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris spend the week partition of the week trying
Speaker 1: to woo black voters, going to Detroit. She's gone to
Speaker 1: Michigan six times. People, the feedback is rolling in. It's
Speaker 1: not all great. Black voters still skeptical. And one of
Speaker 1: the pieces of damning evidence that came out that that's
Speaker 1: going to be a problem is that most polls show
Speaker 1: that Americans do favor Trump over Harris on the issue
Speaker 1: of the economy. That's going to be a problem. She's
Speaker 1: also losing ground because of the ag DA whole situation.
Speaker 4: How you can't change that, You cannot change that, right,
Speaker 4: And I don't.
Speaker 1: Know if Barack and Michelle are bridge that.
Speaker 5: Gap for her.
Speaker 1: Another problem that she had when she was in Detroit is, uh,
Speaker 1: people felt like she was this is according to the
Speaker 1: exit surveys or what have you, there that she was
Speaker 1: in and then she was out she came for the
Speaker 1: photo op and then left without hearing from people in Detroit,
Speaker 1: So they feel abandoned by her, that she needs to
Speaker 1: spend more time with them.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and if one of her big pitches is just
Speaker 4: don't sit this one out, that's not a way to do.
Speaker 4: It's not a way to garner enthusiasm for your for yourself.
Speaker 1: Well, I read something yesterday after noon about how it's
Speaker 1: all going to come down to turn out, and that
Speaker 1: she has the edge in that regard that Democrats are
Speaker 1: more likely to turn out than all of Trump's.
Speaker 2: People wonder what that is?
Speaker 1: That part is part of that because they think the
Speaker 1: election is rigged, that it can't be trusted. Yes, I
Speaker 1: mean because he's done himself. No favors in repeating that
Speaker 1: over and over.
Speaker 4: But I wonder what those numbers would have been like
Speaker 4: in Midgell Democrats were not excited to go vote, right.
Speaker 1: Oh, there were no voter enthusiasm. Yeah, I don't know,
Speaker 1: but that just traditionally Democrats are better at turning out
Speaker 1: the vote.
Speaker 4: All Right, some layoffs at Meta, but also Amazon says, hey, guys,
Speaker 4: five days a week at the office is not slave driving.
Speaker 2: Maybe we you know, work again.
Speaker 1: That's weird. Could you imagine if there were people here today?
Speaker 1: Cool story for the Mets tonight. Gotta hand this one
Speaker 1: to them. This is a cool thing that they have
Speaker 1: done there in New York. They are going to sing
Speaker 1: my Girl at Game five tonight of the NLCS, and
Speaker 1: the Temptations will be there to do so. They will
Speaker 1: perform the Star Spangled banner before the Mets play the Dodgers.
Speaker 1: Immediately after the national anthem, they will perform my Girl.
Speaker 1: Why Francisco Lindor switched his walk up music before play
Speaker 1: appearances to My Girl in late May, just before the
Speaker 1: Mets turned around their season following a slow start. That's
Speaker 1: pretty cool. I like it when they do stuff like that.
Speaker 1: What a strange thing to have changed your walk up
Speaker 1: song too. Yeah, there's probably some personal story about it.
Speaker 1: There's also Grimace that one Donald's Yeah.
Speaker 4: Apparently throughout the first pitch sometime in late June, and
Speaker 4: from that point to the end of the season the
Speaker 4: Mets had the best record in baseball.
Speaker 2: I think something along those lines.
Speaker 1: I don't like these little magical touches. It's all super
Speaker 1: I mean, I do like it.
Speaker 4: That's what's great about the Baseball Super Sessions, they don't.
Speaker 4: I mean the rally Monkey and Anaheim for a long
Speaker 4: time and doing the Freddy and the dugout. Yeah, I
Speaker 4: love all of it.
Speaker 1: I just don't like it when the other team has
Speaker 1: the little bits of magic.
Speaker 2: Why is this a Why is this considered a news story?
Speaker 2: Reaba Macaire finds herself behind the Bar and her latest
Speaker 2: return to Network TV, making a series that's a nicely
Speaker 2: calibrated cocktail of drama and comedy.
Speaker 1: Hey, you know, like when I say things and you
Speaker 1: look at me like you're gonna get into trouble, I
Speaker 1: really want to get you off this hill that you're
Speaker 1: dying on. That is the anti Reba McIntyre hill, because
Speaker 1: a lot of people love Riba McIntyre, and I don't
Speaker 1: want them to think bad things about you for your
Speaker 1: tone whenever you talk about her.
Speaker 4: Happiest Place premieres tonight and finds Reba's character Bobby inheriting
Speaker 4: a Tennessee tavern from her recently past father. That sounds
Speaker 4: great and finding out in the first episode that he
Speaker 4: had a second family. Even more alarming is the fact
Speaker 4: that her dad left ownership of the bar to both
Speaker 4: Bobby and her sister is a Bella played by Belissa Escobeto.
Speaker 1: And that's the other family, the sisters from the other family.
Speaker 4: Adding to the tension is that the two women are
Speaker 4: divided by a generation or two.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, this looks really good.
Speaker 2: NBC must have all the confidence in the world.
Speaker 4: Looks great to debut it on a Friday night Happies place.
Speaker 1: This looks like fun. I'll watch this. I love Riba McIntyre.
Speaker 1: I don't think my money, I.
Speaker 4: Don't think that you do, and I don't think you'll
Speaker 4: watch a minute of that show.
Speaker 1: I remember when I was at the Country Music Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame, or was it the Grand all Lopry where
Speaker 1: they have the sequin dress she wore when she sang
Speaker 1: fancy the Amcaca something American Country Music Awards.
Speaker 4: The Academy of Country Music Awards of Men's tiny.
Speaker 2: She's a tiny little thing. That's part of the reason
Speaker 2: I don't like Riba.
Speaker 1: In your pecking order hair coups, you want me to
Speaker 1: list them? Yeah, so there's Diane Keaton. She's probably at
Speaker 1: the top of the list. Go on, Reba McIntyre, yep,
Speaker 1: Terry Hatcher, I never remember if you love her or
Speaker 1: hate her?
Speaker 4: There was an accusation that I was a little too
Speaker 4: in love with her, oh circa like two thousand and four. Right,
Speaker 4: So if I had, if I had to choose between.
Speaker 1: Diane clear type, what does that mean? Tall and pretty
Speaker 1: and brunette, that's the what I married? Thin and tall
Speaker 1: and and brunette. Right, yeah, okay, right, you married you
Speaker 1: married one of them.
Speaker 2: She was the one. She was the first.
Speaker 1: Married one of them.
Speaker 4: This is quite the Hobson's choice between Diane Keaton and
Speaker 4: Raba McIntyre.
Speaker 1: So really that's all that's I would I would have said,
Speaker 1: Diane a clear winner.
Speaker 2: What is the what is what is the what is
Speaker 2: the question?
Speaker 1: Who you hate the most?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: Who turns you off the most?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 4: If how fast would I run away from a show
Speaker 4: involving that actress?
Speaker 2: Sure?
Speaker 1: Probably faster away things wearing a hat, yeah, probably fast?
Speaker 4: And a vest yeah yeah I know, and baggy pants,
Speaker 4: plunky shoes yeah no, probably her probably. Okay, we just
Speaker 4: completely well, I'll just say this that the CEO. Matt Garman,
Speaker 4: the CEO of Amazon Web Services, says nine out of
Speaker 4: ten workers he has spoken with support a new policy
Speaker 4: that if you don't like working five days a week
Speaker 4: in office GTFO and don't let the door hit you
Speaker 4: on the way out. What a refreshing way to think
Speaker 4: of work in America. Hey, guys, five days at the office.
Speaker 1: Did you hear about Meta firing a bunch of staff
Speaker 1: members who abused their twenty five dollars meal vouchers? Yes,
Speaker 1: apparently they were given vouchers and they were purchasing non
Speaker 1: meals with them. They were purchasing like household items with
Speaker 1: them or something, and so they were fired.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Part of it is companies, those tech companies all gave
Speaker 4: away everything scooters in the ping pong tables, free foods,
Speaker 4: free massages, nap cubicles and things.
Speaker 2: Like that, and then realize that other, you.
Speaker 4: Know, less scrupulous employees would take advantage of their generosity.
Speaker 1: And metastaff are given daily allowances of twenty dollars for breakfast,
Speaker 1: twenty five for lunch, and twenty five for dinner, similar
Speaker 1: perks to what other large tech companies offer workers on
Speaker 1: top of their typical compensation. That's a lot of money
Speaker 1: on food a day. I'd be buying household items too.
Speaker 1: I was talking about football, which is another job that
Speaker 1: I do. It was work related, No, yes.
Speaker 2: Not an excuse. Now, who were you talking to?
Speaker 1: Brian Blackmore, who runs the operations?
Speaker 5: All who runs the operations? He runs the operations.
Speaker 1: Actually don't have any idea what Brian does, but I
Speaker 1: know it's very important.
Speaker 2: His place would not be here without him.
Speaker 5: I'll tell you something. He's one of those guys that
Speaker 5: you know behind the scenes, especially for Dodgers Baseball and
Speaker 5: stuff like that. He's always here in the office, you know,
Speaker 5: stressing because nothing can go wrong, right, nothing can happen
Speaker 5: because there's so much money writing on us.
Speaker 1: Absolutely no, he is hands on deck. He's one of
Speaker 1: those people that never left the building.
Speaker 4: Reminder, go ahead, Steve, it's something important. Fun to say. No,
Speaker 4: that would be what it is Friday, which means it's
Speaker 4: what you want. What you learned this week on the
Speaker 4: Gary and Shannon Joe let us know via the talkback
Speaker 4: feature on the iHeart App.
Speaker 2: We'll get to that late in the show.
Speaker 1: Steve, I was very upset when.
Speaker 4: We hear a promo for the special, but we didn't
Speaker 4: even get a heads up that the special was coming.
Speaker 5: I apologize. It's been a busy week, I am. I
Speaker 5: barely got that promo done. I'm still editing the show. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I'm sorry about that, because you guys are always good
Speaker 5: about helping out and I dropped the ball on out.
Speaker 1: Yeah you did, Steve. I apologize. I think that we
Speaker 1: should be higher up on the list of priorities.
Speaker 5: But you know I.
Speaker 1: Finished the special. Tell Gary and Channon.
Speaker 2: What have an idea for the special?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 4: Tell Gary and chann right, and then produce it except
Speaker 4: their input.
Speaker 1: Right, we are the ones who got unsolved rolling so.
Speaker 5: And I openly credit you for that. I always do.
Speaker 5: I say it was a show that started by accident
Speaker 5: thanks to the Gary and Channon Show. But beautiful, gotta
Speaker 5: be careful because apparently the talk goes around it when
Speaker 5: I come on that, uh we don't get serious enough.
Speaker 5: Oh really yeah, oh I didn't get serious topics that
Speaker 5: we're too busy laughing.
Speaker 2: Let me find some serious music. Let me see if
Speaker 2: I can.
Speaker 1: I feel like we're super serious, especially on Fridays.
Speaker 5: Every time Steve.
Speaker 1: S I got it from Ken like the John and
Speaker 1: Ken Show. If you didn't notice, this is something I
Speaker 1: picked up on years ago. Is Ken starts off the
Speaker 1: week very serious. On Monday, He's all buttoned up, nothing
Speaker 1: but the facts. No fun. But by Friday Ken lets loose.
Speaker 1: Anything goes. He flies fast and loose on a Friday. Jokes,
Speaker 1: funny things, more jokes. I missed that, I miss Friday Ken.
Speaker 5: Well he was putting a meat loaf in during break
Speaker 5: or then doing his laundry during break. Ken got at home. No,
Speaker 5: I'm in when he was here in the building.
Speaker 1: When I when I anchored for them five hundred years ago.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I remember that.
Speaker 1: Those are some of the best of times.
Speaker 5: They were the worst of times, mostly the best of times.
Speaker 1: It was good time.
Speaker 5: Special, Miss dis Uh, it's dis exploring misinformation.
Speaker 1: Into like, uh, what do you call that?
Speaker 5: Minimal I'm very in.
Speaker 1: The minimalist like he said, she said, they said.
Speaker 5: I want it to be just short to the point. Yeah,
Speaker 5: Miss disc.
Speaker 1: We do comes up with these is it your is it?
Speaker 5: It's usually it's in some sort of a drunken stupor
Speaker 5: or a blackout or something, and then Jacob's like, so
Speaker 5: what's it going to be? And then something happens and
Speaker 5: then I wake up. Jacob has a logo.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, sounds like Jacob's drugging you.
Speaker 5: So that's like, it's usually usually it's usually it's usually
Speaker 5: something happens, I usually self medicate, usually self medicate, and
Speaker 5: then Jacob knows he's got to clean up the mess.
Speaker 5: And then he's just like going okay, and the next
Speaker 5: thing I know, there's artwork. It's like wow, it's just
Speaker 5: like this creative process.
Speaker 2: That you don't get to see.
Speaker 4: But anyway, explain the difference what the way that you
Speaker 4: see it between misinformation and.
Speaker 5: So misinformation is think of it as miss mistake. So
Speaker 5: misinformation is usually just wrong information, sloppy information, sloppy journalism,
Speaker 5: reckless journalism, helpful and so if you look at it
Speaker 5: that way, it's just information that wasn't there's no malice
Speaker 5: behind it, whereas disinformation, think of distor and it's it's
Speaker 5: very intentional, it's very malicious.
Speaker 1: So it's like, did Hillary Clinton know those emails were
Speaker 1: classified or was she just dumb and sent them along
Speaker 1: not knowing they were classified. That would be the difference
Speaker 1: between miss and disc Right.
Speaker 5: Well, whether whatever she did that's an actionable thing, it's
Speaker 5: how it was reported would be the miss or the.
Speaker 1: Disc No, I know, I'm just trying to you know,
Speaker 1: there's a mistake and then there's noingly mistake, right, putting
Speaker 1: it out.
Speaker 5: There, and we thought it was specially important with the
Speaker 5: election coming up. So it's actually a four hour show,
Speaker 5: the first two hours this Sunday, the second two hours
Speaker 5: the following Sunday. And we've spoke to the head of
Speaker 5: BBC Verify in London and they created an entire unit
Speaker 5: after the Ukrainian War broke out Ukraine Russia War, because
Speaker 5: there were so many videos out there that were doctored
Speaker 5: and altered and so they had to put this unit
Speaker 5: together to actually decide whether or not what they're seeing
Speaker 5: is the truth. And so from there then we talked
Speaker 5: to another group here in the United States. Tegna is
Speaker 5: a multimedia company that owns a bunch of radio stations
Speaker 5: digital platforms. They also have one called verify this dot
Speaker 5: Com and they have a group of journalists that get
Speaker 5: together and they verify information before it goes out.
Speaker 2: So this sounds like a.
Speaker 4: Higher version, a higher platform of perhaps Snopes dot com
Speaker 4: or something like that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's Snope started out as kind of a goofy
Speaker 5: little thing, but it's it's legit. I mean, Snope's is
Speaker 5: totally legit, but they were doing like rumors and stuff
Speaker 5: like that. This Verify this and like BBC verify. Now
Speaker 5: that's pretty hardcore news stuff that comes in video, and
Speaker 5: you know, then we get into deep fake and the
Speaker 5: actually the origin of the word deep fake came from
Speaker 5: a deep dive into fake news. And so I interview
Speaker 5: a computer scientists from Northwestern University. We talked about media
Speaker 5: literacy because in order to understand what you're seeing and
Speaker 5: consuming as a you know, in the news, it's important
Speaker 5: to understand how to consume the news. And it's this
Speaker 5: point now where you have to spend time, unfortunately verifying
Speaker 5: what you see.
Speaker 4: You have to go into it with a certain amount
Speaker 4: of skepticism, which is probably not necessarily the healthy weight
Speaker 4: to consume. I mean, thirty years ago, twenty years ago,
Speaker 4: we didn't have the level of skepticism about whether it's
Speaker 4: national news, local news, whatever. We just didn't have that.
Speaker 4: We didn't have to have that level of skepticism.
Speaker 5: Trust in journalism is lower now than trust in the
Speaker 5: Senate and Congress.
Speaker 1: Did you hear that on this show, because we talked
Speaker 1: about that on Tuesday.
Speaker 5: I did not, but I saw a report on it,
Speaker 5: and so I was looking at that and it's one
Speaker 5: of those where people are with social media. Social media
Speaker 5: really changed the game for everybody. And now with AI
Speaker 5: and the access to the democracy democratization of AI, everyone
Speaker 5: can use it now. So people can sit there and
Speaker 5: create fake videos and look at all the stuff that's
Speaker 5: going on with Kamala Harris and Donald Trump and all
Speaker 5: the how quickly people were able to create these.
Speaker 1: Fake videos walking together on the beach.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and what about the Brett Bear the Brett Bear
Speaker 5: and Kamala Harris interview. Have you seen that the new
Speaker 5: video of what really happened? They say, this is what
Speaker 5: really happened. I mean, there's stuff that's screwing things up.
Speaker 4: There's a great one of two of Tago Violoa's face
Speaker 4: on Jim Carrey's character from ace Ventura.
Speaker 2: Silly.
Speaker 5: So anyway, first two hours on this Sunday from two
Speaker 5: to four missed this, and then the second part the
Speaker 5: following Sunday from two to four, and it's just it's
Speaker 5: one of those really sit there and listen to it.
Speaker 5: It's we've got some great experts in the field, subject
Speaker 5: matter experts talking about it to make you try to
Speaker 5: let you become a better informed viewer.
Speaker 1: You know what, this is going to be very helpful Steve,
Speaker 1: I hope so yeah, very good. Good timing too. I
Speaker 1: think two to four this Sunday, two to four next Sunday. Alls, yep, awesome,
Speaker 1: thanks guys up next all of our trending stories.
Speaker 2: What your mica? Still we're we're not being serious again?
Speaker 2: Oh wow?
Speaker 1: I thought we got this serious stuff out of the way.
Speaker 1: We ate our vegetables.
Speaker 5: I don't know anymore. Hell, I don't even you know.
Speaker 1: The voice used for unsolved, like Steve is that.
Speaker 5: It makes no sense? Is that how I do it?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: And you slow it down.
Speaker 5: Google Unsolved. It's a cacabani down with Steve Goog.
Speaker 1: It's a regionalism. My god, Hello, we're not doing any
Speaker 1: of this.
