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. We did not mention
Speaker 1: that today is day one of the conclave.
Speaker 2: I thought it was Wednesday.
Speaker 1: Oh, you're right, it is. What the hell am I
Speaker 1: talking about?
Speaker 2: That's all right?
Speaker 1: You know, I'm gonna go on.
Speaker 2: Stop over there.
Speaker 1: It's soup.
Speaker 2: Do you want some?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: Okay, no alcohol in that soup? Right, okay?
Speaker 4: So today is the first day of conclave. Wednesday I saw,
Speaker 4: like handle you do a little. He's had a very
Speaker 4: good career. I'll take it. So Wednesday is the beginning
Speaker 4: of Conklin, shut up, we'll talk about it Wednesday.
Speaker 5: Then.
Speaker 1: Look now we're all ready to go. We're ready on
Speaker 1: a Monday for Wednesday. What the hell, let's do the swamp.
Speaker 2: I'm not kissing that here.
Speaker 6: We got the real problem is that our leaders are done.
Speaker 2: The other side never quits.
Speaker 6: So what I'm not going anywhere?
Speaker 3: So now you train the squaw.
Speaker 2: I can imagine what can be and be unburdened by
Speaker 2: what has been.
Speaker 5: You know, Americans have always been going president, but they're
Speaker 5: not stupid.
Speaker 7: A political flunder is when a politician actually tells the
Speaker 7: truth whether people voted for you were not swamp watch,
Speaker 7: They're all, well, let's let's go.
Speaker 2: What just go on?
Speaker 1: If I do decide to have a drink at eleven
Speaker 1: oh seven am and the conclave is what I decided
Speaker 1: to talk about, I think there's bigger, bigger fish to fry.
Speaker 7: Well, I was gonna let it happen. Oh you were, yeah,
Speaker 7: Well that's why I asked what was in the cup?
Speaker 7: Is if something was going down. I didn't want to
Speaker 7: be the I didn't want to be the one to
Speaker 7: like derail it right.
Speaker 2: Away for two reasons.
Speaker 7: One for the sheer entertainment of what was about to happen,
Speaker 7: and second, I didn't want it to be said so
Speaker 7: jarring to you.
Speaker 2: I wanted you to feel.
Speaker 1: Like this was a comfortable place, say space, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: appreciate that.
Speaker 2: Good Lord. Let's do this in reverse order.
Speaker 7: The President just wrapped up an Oval Office event where
Speaker 7: he talked about the NFL Draft is coming to Washington,
Speaker 7: d C. He made the announcement with Roger Goodell, the
Speaker 7: head of the NFL, and the commissioner, I should say
Speaker 7: same thing, and then the owner of the Washington Commanders,
Speaker 7: and they gave him the whole you know, number forty
Speaker 7: seven jersey and everything for the Washington Commanders. Muriel Bowser,
Speaker 7: the mayor of d C, was up there. I don't
Speaker 7: think she wanted to be, but.
Speaker 1: She was there, and I said it to you. I'll
Speaker 1: say it to you off here. And I don't like
Speaker 1: the optics of an adult in power looking like a
Speaker 1: petulant teenager, because it would be not cool for them
Speaker 1: to be delighted to be in the presence of the
Speaker 1: President of the United States, no matter who that president is.
Speaker 2: In the office. Yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah, And I think that the both parties need to
Speaker 7: get over that. You need to get over the we
Speaker 7: on both sides. We didn't even talk about this last week,
Speaker 7: but the hug that Gretchen Whitmer gave to President Trump
Speaker 7: when he got off of Air Force when he was
Speaker 7: doing his one hundred days.
Speaker 2: He saw the headline I did not click.
Speaker 7: There's articles abound about political hugs that have gone awry,
Speaker 7: where one person from one party extends some sort of
Speaker 7: warm welcome to someone from the other party and it
Speaker 7: just torpedoes their career when it shouldn't and it goes
Speaker 7: I mean it probably goes back decades. But the one
Speaker 7: of the earlier ones that I saw was Governor Rick
Speaker 7: Scott when he was the governor of Florida, welcoming Barack
Speaker 7: Obama with just a hug and he just introduced he
Speaker 7: was introducing him at some speech he was giving some event,
Speaker 7: ladies and gentlemen, the presidents.
Speaker 2: I mean, just not a d about it. It just
Speaker 2: announced the president.
Speaker 7: And then everybody thought Rick Scott had turned tables and
Speaker 7: was like, oh, you're not.
Speaker 2: You're a Republican name only, and you can't.
Speaker 7: That's the kind of stuff that's that's the kind of
Speaker 7: stuff that is going to destroy it this country is
Speaker 7: the little tiny divisions like that, These what should be
Speaker 7: cordial interactions between people, others want to see them absolutely
Speaker 7: laced with vitriol and.
Speaker 2: Fangs and fists. That's not how we get things done.
Speaker 1: Just because you disagree with somebody doesn't mean they're an
Speaker 1: evil person. Yeah, you know, and you get you don't
Speaker 1: get far with that kind of thinking of not treating
Speaker 1: people like they're humans and just seeing where you find where.
Speaker 2: You differ on both sides.
Speaker 7: That's the thing is yeah, all right, So at that
Speaker 7: event at the Oval office. Just a few minutes ago,
Speaker 7: President Trump was asked about about this Alcatraz thing. He
Speaker 7: tweeted over the weekend he wants to reopen bigger, better,
Speaker 7: beautifuller Alcatraz.
Speaker 6: Nobody's ever escaped from Alcatraz and just represented something strong
Speaker 6: having to do with law and order. We need law
Speaker 6: and order in this country, and so we're going to
Speaker 6: look at it. Some of the people up here are
Speaker 6: going to be working very hard on that, and we
Speaker 6: had a little conversation.
Speaker 2: I think it's going to be very interesting.
Speaker 6: We'll see if we can bring it back in large
Speaker 6: form add a lot, but I think it represents something
Speaker 6: right now. It's a big hulk that's sitting there, rusting
Speaker 6: and rotting.
Speaker 2: Very uh.
Speaker 6: You look at it, it's sort of you saw that
Speaker 6: picture that was put out. It's sort of amazing, But
Speaker 6: it sort of represents something that's both horrible and beautiful
Speaker 6: and strong and miserable weak.
Speaker 2: It's got a lot of it's got.
Speaker 6: A lot of qualities that are interesting, and I think
Speaker 6: they make a point.
Speaker 1: And I think that's exactly what I determined to be
Speaker 1: his motivation when we talked about this in the first hour,
Speaker 1: is it is a symbol of when law and order
Speaker 1: meant something and it was awful, and you went to prison,
Speaker 1: it was awful, and we've moved away from that. The
Speaker 1: way he opens it with no one escaped Alcatraz, it
Speaker 1: sounds like we're suffering through some sort of national escape
Speaker 1: epidemic of people escaping prisons. That's clearly not the case.
Speaker 1: But prisons have become lighter and kinder and softer, and
Speaker 1: sending people to prison has become more soft. Whether you're
Speaker 1: looking at other diversion programs and things. They don't throw
Speaker 1: the book at you nearly the way you used to
Speaker 1: think they threw the book at you. And I think
Speaker 1: that he's talking about that, and hearkening back to times
Speaker 1: when law and order really did mean something and it
Speaker 1: was strong in this country, And I think that's what
Speaker 1: he's saying. Turning Alcatraz into a workable prison is not
Speaker 1: a workable idea. However, logistically it's just not feasible to
Speaker 1: do so. It wasn't feasible to do so in nineteen
Speaker 1: sixty two when it closed its doors, and it's certainly
Speaker 1: a complete tear down now. The money it would cost
Speaker 1: not to run things there, but just to get things
Speaker 1: back up and running is punitive at best. That's why
Speaker 1: it's like the high speed rail. Well, that's about how
Speaker 1: much sense it makes now you get it. Really, it's true.
Speaker 7: Well, and the difference between that between those two is
Speaker 7: that Alcatraz currently makes money. They don't have to house people,
Speaker 7: they don't have to bring in food and water, they
Speaker 7: don't have to transport prisoners back and forth. It's just
Speaker 7: tourists that brings in millions of dollars every year. I
Speaker 7: don't know why you would scuttle that just for the
Speaker 7: symbol that it is. The other big deal that came
Speaker 7: out over the weekend is President Trump sat down with
Speaker 7: Kristen Welker from Meet the Press and was asked specifically
Speaker 7: about the immigration issues that are going on, the court
Speaker 7: fights that are surrounding, specifically the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case.
Speaker 7: This is the guy from Maryland sent to El Salvador.
Speaker 7: Was he sent unintentionally? Like the Trump administration has said,
Speaker 7: Do they have the power to get him back? Can
Speaker 7: they be compelled by the Supreme Court to get him back?
Speaker 2: Your Secretary of State says, everyone who's here citizens and
Speaker 2: non citizens to serve due process. Do you agree? I
Speaker 2: don't know. I'm not a lawyer. I don't know. Well,
Speaker 2: the Fifth Amendment, I don't know.
Speaker 6: It seems it seems it might say that. But if
Speaker 6: you're talking about that, then we'd have to have a
Speaker 6: million or two million or three million trials.
Speaker 7: Uh, you're never going to pick Yes, you're never going
Speaker 7: to pin this guy down now, certainly.
Speaker 1: Not on the minushav a constitution. Who is coming at
Speaker 1: this president to me? See? To me, that is just
Speaker 1: such easy gotcha.
Speaker 2: Journalism on her part.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you're gonna confront this president with the Constitution,
Speaker 1: and I understand the argument, Well, he's the president. Sorry,
Speaker 1: I won't do that. That's disrespectful. Well, he is the president
Speaker 1: of the United States. He should be well versed on
Speaker 1: the Constitution. Yes, let's let's go deeper into the should
Speaker 1: be bucket because it is vast, But that's not what
Speaker 1: we have. So let's readjust let's pivot accordingly. To come
Speaker 1: at this president with a constitution and to try to
Speaker 1: ail him down on what he thinks about the interpretation
Speaker 1: of the Constitution is an easy gotcha question that you're
Speaker 1: going to get the answer of. Well, I don't know,
Speaker 1: Maybe we throw it out of course you're going to
Speaker 1: get that. That's not clever, that's not and you've generated
Speaker 1: the headlines. You've generated the headlines, and that's it.
Speaker 2: Again.
Speaker 1: It's like, I don't go to this president for somebody
Speaker 1: to break down the Constitution for me and what it
Speaker 1: means in twenty twenty five and what parts should be
Speaker 1: upheld and what should we take a closer look at.
Speaker 1: That's not for this guy to decide. Unfortunately, this guy
Speaker 1: is the president. But come on, I think we all
Speaker 1: know what we're going to get when we go to
Speaker 1: that well up next? Are we seeing the end of
Speaker 1: American pop culture? Are we in the bad parts right now?
Speaker 1: This is the darkness before the lights finally go out.
Speaker 1: When was the golden era of pop culture in America?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 1: Huh.
Speaker 2: I think it depends on how old you are.
Speaker 7: If you're sixty, then the late sixties, probably early seventies
Speaker 7: was the epitome of pop culture post war, you know.
Speaker 7: If you're younger than that, eighties, I don't know. I
Speaker 7: think it depends on when you were alive.
Speaker 8: Yeah, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from
Speaker 8: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1: Did you hear Warren Buffett's sound clip of him saying
Speaker 1: it's time to hang it up.
Speaker 2: It sounds like it's time to hang out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was exactly my thought as well. My goodness,
Speaker 1: I mean, what a what a run? What ain't freaking run?
Speaker 2: Ninety four? Two ninety two?
Speaker 1: Well, well potatoes, Patatas six decades, my god.
Speaker 2: Running Berkshire Hathaway.
Speaker 7: Bottom of the hour, we'll talk about telephone etiquette. Landlines
Speaker 7: are coming back because we need to teach kids how
Speaker 7: to use.
Speaker 2: The telephone telephone, telephone.
Speaker 1: Why is it that they need a physical phone to
Speaker 1: learn etiquette.
Speaker 7: With I don't know, because we're big, dumb animals and
Speaker 7: there are weird triggers like that, Or it's the people
Speaker 7: who are teaching telephone etiquette feel like that was the
Speaker 7: last time we had good telephone etiquette.
Speaker 2: So maybe that's why. Maybe that's why.
Speaker 7: Maybe it's like teaching somebody to drive, but doing it
Speaker 7: on a stick shift as opposed to an automatic transmission.
Speaker 2: It's funny.
Speaker 1: Older people are delightful on the telephone, aren't they. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they really are, more so I think than even in person.
Speaker 1: People that are of an older generation are delightful on
Speaker 1: the phone.
Speaker 2: How old would you say.
Speaker 1: I would say seventies, sixties, seventies. There's like there's different
Speaker 1: bar for behavior. You're awful on the telephone, I know,
Speaker 1: because there's two Okay, what do you that's not fair.
Speaker 1: First of all, I have no idea because I don't
Speaker 1: spend much time on the phone. I say, since there
Speaker 1: was something going on over there, So I decided to
Speaker 1: throw this little bait in the water.
Speaker 7: If you text me on a Sunday morning, and then
Speaker 7: if you were to have called me, there's two reasons
Speaker 7: why you would call me something awful. That's why I
Speaker 7: just text you. I know that's something awful has happened,
Speaker 7: or I'm not going to be to work, yes, and
Speaker 7: because awful that happened, So that's going to be an
Speaker 7: that's gonna be an awful phone call. Most of I
Speaker 7: shouldn't even say most of the time. A lot of
Speaker 7: the times that's my from me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So when you pick up the phone for me,
Speaker 1: it's most likely what I hear is this, Yes.
Speaker 2: What is it?
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's because something has happened. When you called me
Speaker 7: last week, the last time you called me is because
Speaker 7: you started a fire right then. I didn't even answer
Speaker 7: the phone. Which would have been bad, I assumed had
Speaker 7: you start it an actual fire.
Speaker 1: That was the only reason I called you when I
Speaker 1: started the fire in the home was because you had
Speaker 1: talked earlier in the day about how I was kind
Speaker 1: of in a mood where I was going to set
Speaker 1: something on fire, or are you going to set the
Speaker 1: building on fire? Or you had made some mention about fire,
Speaker 1: and I was like, you're crazy, what are you talking about?
Speaker 1: I'm fine, And then I went home and promptly started
Speaker 1: a fire. So I wanted you to have the payoff
Speaker 1: of your premonition.
Speaker 7: There's an article in The Atlantic magazine about the end
Speaker 7: of American pop culture, and there's an interesting way to
Speaker 7: look at this argument that we are right now in
Speaker 7: one of the worst eras when it comes to pop
Speaker 7: American specific American pop culture.
Speaker 1: Well, you think about pop culture, what do you think
Speaker 1: about You think about music, trends, fashion, right, my movies,
Speaker 1: things like that. A lot of it is meme culture,
Speaker 1: a lot of it's TikTok culture. Right, It's just changed.
Speaker 1: It's changed from what we remember.
Speaker 2: But is it good? We can can you put a
Speaker 2: value like that? That's what I mean.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we like to think about when we have celebrated
Speaker 7: eighties and nineties entertainment movies, TV shows and things like that,
Speaker 7: there were there was a very different attitude towards those
Speaker 7: things because there was a built in waiting period. Whether
Speaker 7: it was a TV show like you said, last week,
Speaker 7: we talked about did you see what happened on Seinfeld
Speaker 7: last night? That was the discussion every Friday at school
Speaker 7: or at college or at work. What did you watch
Speaker 7: Seinfeld last night? Of course I watched Seinfeld last night.
Speaker 7: Of course it was hilarious. But now it's have you
Speaker 7: seen this entire season of did you sit on your.
Speaker 1: Couch for nine hours? Like I did?
Speaker 2: On Sunday? Oh?
Speaker 1: Man plays into so many different ills of society, doesn't
Speaker 1: it well?
Speaker 7: And I think that there was a we had a
Speaker 7: different attitude back then. If you had, it was the
Speaker 7: delayed gratification of whatever. The album didn't come out until June.
Speaker 7: You knew when it was coming out. They didn't preview
Speaker 7: it with singles at least that were available to you.
Speaker 7: You could hear it on the radio, but you couldn't
Speaker 7: go out and buy that single necessarily before the big
Speaker 7: album came out.
Speaker 2: Whatever.
Speaker 1: The anticipation is a fantastic feeling. Look no further than
Speaker 1: Carly Simon. But anticipation is something nobody feels anymore because
Speaker 1: we're instantly gratified with everything right, there is no anticipation.
Speaker 1: The only anticipation that remains really is maybe waiting to
Speaker 1: go on a trip if that's your thing.
Speaker 2: If you're into travel, sure, the countdown to your vacation.
Speaker 1: Everything else is just it's right here, you want it now,
Speaker 1: you got it, your tomorrow.
Speaker 7: They also describe the explosion of creativity and creative expression
Speaker 7: in the United States right now. More than five hundred
Speaker 7: scripted TV shows get made every single year, and get this,
Speaker 7: streaming services add about one hundred thousand songs every single Well, what.
Speaker 1: Does that mean for the quality? Right, let's talk about
Speaker 1: it when we come back.
Speaker 8: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 8: AM six forty.
Speaker 1: I know you think you bested me. Oh okay, but
Speaker 1: I will raise the bar to women who like cars.
Speaker 2: This is for you, right, there's such a thing.
Speaker 1: Dozens. That's a funny word in this context. Dozens of
Speaker 1: women gathered over the weekend in Dubai to take part
Speaker 1: in a car rally organized by the area's first ever
Speaker 1: all female supercar owners club, the Arabian Gazelles thirty women.
Speaker 2: In the Old Country. You got thirty women into cars? Well,
Speaker 2: I mean they're not They're not allowed, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 2: the whole bears that we were talking about.
Speaker 7: This article from Spencer Cornhabra the worst ever era of
Speaker 7: American pop culture and just in terms of are we
Speaker 7: you know, movies all sound the same, TV shows all
Speaker 7: sound the same. Art is the same as it used
Speaker 7: to be, and a lot of times the people that
Speaker 7: produce that kind of entertainment for us are relying on
Speaker 7: the old things to bring us back. I mean, they
Speaker 7: just re released was it, Phantom Menace, one of the
Speaker 7: Star Wars movies, and it made millions of dollars at
Speaker 7: the box office. Everybody's seen that. We've all seen it.
Speaker 7: We've all seen it, and we still will pay money
Speaker 7: for the things that we've seen before. They also, I
Speaker 7: had mentioned that there's about one hundred thousand songs reportedly
Speaker 7: every day added to streaming services, and I found this interesting.
Speaker 7: In twenty twenty four, new releases accounted for a little
Speaker 7: more than a quarter of all of the albums.
Speaker 2: Consumed in the United States.
Speaker 7: Just a quarter that every year a greater and greater
Speaker 7: percentage of the album that are streamed online would be
Speaker 7: considered catalog music means at least eighteen months old.
Speaker 1: Well. In three twelve CE, the Roman Senate ordered the
Speaker 1: construction of a monument called the Arch of Constantine. It
Speaker 1: incorporated pieces from older monuments built in more glorious times
Speaker 1: for the empire, which had begun its centuary a century's
Speaker 1: long decline. This is a metaphor for modern culture. The
Speaker 1: Arch is the TV and film industry enamored of reboots,
Speaker 1: spin offs, the formulaic genre. Fair like you were talking about.
Speaker 7: I love this one line where he talks about Broadway
Speaker 7: theaters subsist on stunt cast revivals of old war horses.
Speaker 7: One of those that's going on right now is Glengarry
Speaker 7: Glenn Ross. Ye asked that includes stand up comedians at
Speaker 7: Academy Award winning actors. It's not just a bunch of
Speaker 7: up and coming actors that you used to see on Broadway.
Speaker 7: These are people that are kind of crossing genres their
Speaker 7: word stunt cast in these shows. Does this mean that
Speaker 7: we're declining? Does it mean we hit a slow spot
Speaker 7: when it comes to innovation?
Speaker 1: I'm sure we are at the end of creativity. Have
Speaker 1: we done all of the things?
Speaker 7: If it's possible, and if artificial intelligence continues to progress
Speaker 7: at the level that it does, we're really screwed because
Speaker 7: no one's going to want to even put brain energy.
Speaker 7: They're not going to want to put the calories into
Speaker 7: thinking about creative endeavors. If all we have to do
Speaker 7: is simply ask Ai to make something for us.
Speaker 1: I think the we're going to see the pendulum swing here.
Speaker 1: You and I were talking off the air. I was
Speaker 1: lamenting about the decline of production in radio. It could
Speaker 1: be podcasts, it could be radio news, what have you.
Speaker 1: When I started, there were a lot of reporters and
Speaker 1: anchors that were obsessed and it was so much fun
Speaker 1: to listen to when it came to production elements, whether
Speaker 1: it was just an ear of sound, of taking ambient
Speaker 1: sound that runs under a sound bite and carrying it
Speaker 1: through your entire piece as a reporter or an anchor
Speaker 1: or what have you. There was so much more of that.
Speaker 1: It felt like we were constantly trying to one up
Speaker 1: each other when it came to making a pleasing sound
Speaker 1: for the ear, something coming out of the radio, something
Speaker 1: that made you go huh, you know, or just wow,
Speaker 1: that's a really clear sound or really good sound, or
Speaker 1: really well put together things like that. And now we're
Speaker 1: kind of in this era of just kind of bare bones.
Speaker 1: When you listen to even at the onset of podcasts,
Speaker 1: and a couple of them come to mind, the podcast
Speaker 1: of the man who made all those clocks in the
Speaker 1: South or whatever. You know, there's just certain things where
Speaker 1: the when the production is good, it just sings, it
Speaker 1: just stands out. And now we're kind of in this
Speaker 1: like bare bones production land. It seems like a lot
Speaker 1: that I do as town. Yeah, when I listened to radio,
Speaker 1: I'm just kind of like, where where's all the fun
Speaker 1: production or not even fun, just any production whatsoever. And
Speaker 1: I think that that's just the pendulum swinging, and I
Speaker 1: think it'll swing back when it comes to It's like fashion,
Speaker 1: you know, we go from minimalists to super creative and
Speaker 1: super colorful and then back to grays and mobs and
Speaker 1: you know, and I think that right now with culture,
Speaker 1: we're just in this weird phase where you feel like
Speaker 1: everything's been done and so you know, here's a meme
Speaker 1: for you.
Speaker 2: Here's a meme here's a TikTok from T eighty three.
Speaker 7: Right, I mean the Kate Bush song that came back
Speaker 7: and charted again thirty seven years after it charted the
Speaker 7: first time. Yeah, because it was on a TV show
Speaker 7: which also was a was a I guess, an honorific
Speaker 7: to the old eighties.
Speaker 2: You know, movies that we saw and stranger things.
Speaker 7: So up next, the best questions for your first date.
Speaker 8: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 8: AM six forty.
Speaker 2: Do you have a jearity question? You're damn right.
Speaker 3: I do.
Speaker 1: A band together for two hundred dollars, often part of
Speaker 1: Sinco to Mayo celebrations. This type of band has a name. Oh,
Speaker 1: this is so stupid. This type of band has a
Speaker 1: name that may derive from a word for marriage. I
Speaker 1: did not know that.
Speaker 2: Wait, you don't know the answer. You can't have to
Speaker 2: go back again.
Speaker 1: Sinko to my own And what more do you need
Speaker 1: to know? Oh my goodness, you are that white. You're
Speaker 1: whiter than white. Probably very occrey band. Oh all right,
Speaker 1: I didn't. Okay, well allow that.
Speaker 2: We asked her earlier.
Speaker 7: What is what is an absolutely drop dead important question
Speaker 7: to ask on the first date.
Speaker 1: Yes, what did we get? Did we get responses?
Speaker 7: We got a bunch. We got a bunch and some
Speaker 7: of them are good, some of them are bad. We'll
Speaker 7: just tell you that.
Speaker 2: You for words, what's your credit score? Oh man?
Speaker 1: Do you need to know that on a first date?
Speaker 2: Like that should be something you ask at the altar,
Speaker 2: right at the altar. No, you could do that later.
Speaker 7: I mean you do that after the first date, but
Speaker 7: before the altar, right, But I would put it closer
Speaker 7: to the altar. Yeah, I mean this day and age. Well,
Speaker 7: here's the thing. You hang out with somebody enough, you
Speaker 7: kind of get an idea of where they sit financially.
Speaker 7: You do, and you could tell if they're lying about stuff.
Speaker 7: Some people are just quiet. They don't talk about it
Speaker 7: and they don't have to worry about it.
Speaker 1: If they don't have betting, you can bet their credit scores.
Speaker 1: Somewhere around six.
Speaker 2: You have a personal story. Let's share all about that.
Speaker 5: Gary and Shannon. The thing I ask of a woman
Speaker 5: first thing her on a first date is what's your
Speaker 5: relationship like with your dad?
Speaker 1: Oh, Jesus, Mary and jo your dad do and what
Speaker 1: is your relationship with him? Excuse me that I reveal
Speaker 1: itself too.
Speaker 5: Yeah, makes a big difference. Yeah, how the woman teaches,
Speaker 5: how the woman interacts with their dad.
Speaker 1: I will say this, Excuse me, eventually, I got some
Speaker 1: chicken that went down the wrong pipe. What there's nothing
Speaker 1: dirty about that?
Speaker 2: I didn't say there was.
Speaker 1: Okay, the look on your face says, you just said
Speaker 1: something really dirty and you don't even know it. I
Speaker 1: will say this, I think that the way a man
Speaker 1: talks about his mother is very important to me. It
Speaker 1: always has been. Because if you hook up with a
Speaker 1: guy who hates his mother.
Speaker 7: Only well I mean to that, there's a lot that's good.
Speaker 2: Just let me know when you're done choking on your
Speaker 2: chicken over there. Hey, guys, I think a good question
Speaker 2: on a first date for the ladies would be what
Speaker 2: kind of relationship do you have with your mother?
Speaker 7: See that's the opposite. I mean it's not entirely the opposite,
Speaker 7: but it is another version of it.
Speaker 3: Hey, Gary Shannon. I just keep it simple, and when
Speaker 3: I sat down with a woman and just say, hey,
Speaker 3: how was your day to day?
Speaker 2: Just keep it simple and see where it goes from there.
Speaker 7: What would you think about that someone just the very
Speaker 7: basic how is your day?
Speaker 2: Today and then see how they respond.
Speaker 1: I don't want to get into any trouble here.
Speaker 2: I just think that's all.
Speaker 1: I think it's I'm lazy.
Speaker 2: I think it's hey, Garan Channon. My go to question
Speaker 2: on the first stage is you're not a dude?
Speaker 3: Are you always want to lead with that to make
Speaker 3: sure have a great because.
Speaker 2: Yeah, these days, what's going on under there? Below the table?
Speaker 2: Oh here's here's this one's even better.
Speaker 8: I would say, do you listen to the Gary and
Speaker 8: Shannon Joe UK if I also.
Speaker 5: Known, if you could hear it on it?
Speaker 2: Are iHeartRadio?
Speaker 5: And if she says no, then I know that.
Speaker 3: She's forget it. I'm walking right there, I'm leaving the table.
Speaker 1: Now, that's not how you look at it. You get
Speaker 1: to expose her to the Gary and Shannon Show, and
Speaker 1: then she loves you even more for opening her eyes
Speaker 1: to something she didn't know existence.
Speaker 2: Like a band she'd never heard of.
Speaker 1: Love Hi, Gary and Shannon. I have seen her from
Speaker 1: San Pedro, A long time listener.
Speaker 2: Thank you. The best question is what makes you happy?
Speaker 2: Has and I have been married for twenty one years? Good?
Speaker 1: What if he doesn't know what makes them happy?
Speaker 2: Well, isn't that.
Speaker 7: I mean, you're not necessarily asking the question to get
Speaker 7: the answer. You're asking the question to see how they
Speaker 7: process what the answer is.
Speaker 1: You know, all of this is making me feel like
Speaker 1: I would rather jump off a building than go on
Speaker 1: first on.
Speaker 2: A first question would.
Speaker 5: Be if you ever been in jail or prison?
Speaker 2: So that sounds unfair, Yeah, but you would have a
Speaker 2: funny story. You're like, well, not real jail, but I.
Speaker 1: You a bit about my Disneyland story. Yeah, everyone wants
Speaker 1: to hear that.
Speaker 3: Gerian Shannon. My idea of a best date question would
Speaker 3: be if you didn't have any responsibilities to job, kids, animals, family, whatever,
Speaker 3: what would you do on a day to yourself? Describe
Speaker 3: what you'd want to do for that full day.
Speaker 2: That's a good one. Yeah, that is a good one.
Speaker 1: I also feel like if you're on your first date,
Speaker 1: you shouldn't have to ask questions like a successful first date,
Speaker 1: but maybe that's just because I don't shut out.
Speaker 2: Conversation would just flow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean if you've got enough. If you don't
Speaker 1: have enough to talk about to get you through a
Speaker 1: first date, that's not the person for you. If you're
Speaker 1: not comfortable enough to where the conversation flows.
Speaker 7: Yeah, but there's gonna be even in a normal conversation
Speaker 7: that does flow, there's gonna be some lulls perhaps in
Speaker 7: the conversation.
Speaker 2: Sure, so you just.
Speaker 7: Have a couple, but it's your first date, a couple
Speaker 7: locked and loaded just in case.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's why I just feel like if I
Speaker 1: hear a canned question, oh yeah, to me, that's a
Speaker 1: red flat.
Speaker 7: And that I understand, Like you did you read that
Speaker 7: out of a book? That's like, yeah, top ten questions
Speaker 7: to ask a first date.
Speaker 1: I know I should ask how she feels about her father.
Speaker 7: I don't have to say it like that, but you
Speaker 7: could ask about so, what's your face?
Speaker 2: What do you sure see? That's not that's a better version.
Speaker 7: But you're listening for the red flag, the red flags
Speaker 7: about well, my dad and I never really got along
Speaker 7: or something.
Speaker 3: What would you like to have put on your tombstone
Speaker 3: for the best question on a day?
Speaker 2: That's that's an awful question.
Speaker 1: It's very morbid, sir, good lord.
Speaker 7: Sorry, Green River Killer didn't realize they had talkback there.
