Speaker 1: This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
Speaker 1: AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app. Stories We're following for you today.
Speaker 1: Stock surging on Wall Street. The Dow has been up
Speaker 1: six hundred points at times during the session. Nasdaq has
Speaker 1: been up over one hundred points at times this well
Speaker 1: as well.
Speaker 2: Excuse me.
Speaker 1: The Fed is set to make an announcement on interest
Speaker 1: rates later this month, widely expected to make a cut. Also,
Speaker 1: Tropical Storm Francine has formed, expected to intensify into a
Speaker 1: hurricane before making landfall, this one along the Louisiana coast.
Speaker 1: On Wednesday, They said that there could be a life
Speaker 1: threatening storm surge for parts of Upper Texas and Louisiana coastlines.
Speaker 1: Risk of flash and urban flooding exists across portions of
Speaker 1: the Mid South from Wednesday into Friday morning.
Speaker 2: And then.
Speaker 1: Kate, the Princess of Princess of Wales is done with
Speaker 1: her chemo treatment. She made the announcement in a video
Speaker 1: message released today. It was in Mark she revealed she
Speaker 1: had been diagnosed with an unspecified form of cancer. She
Speaker 1: said the last nine months incredibly tough for the family,
Speaker 1: but she's looking forward to be back at work.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So when we heard that, we both said the same thing.
Speaker 4: What we both said, work back at work work. I
Speaker 4: guess it's charitable endeavors and things like that. Right, we're
Speaker 4: horrible people. I mean, she just beat cancer and we're.
Speaker 2: Like, what is it you do? What does it you
Speaker 2: say you do here?
Speaker 4: Well, the whole royal family, it doesn't seem rather outdated
Speaker 4: to you.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, and our obsession with it here, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's wild. They'll tell you.
Speaker 1: Tabloids will tell you if they put the Royals on
Speaker 1: the cover, they sell like fifty percent more of those
Speaker 1: than they do with Why that is.
Speaker 2: Why we're so fascinated by all that. I don't know,
Speaker 2: you don't have it here. I guess didn't we leave
Speaker 2: all that behind?
Speaker 5: I think that was one of the reasons.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So all right, so you know that, by the way
Speaker 4: it's starting, that interest rate story is big because you
Speaker 4: know it'll impact the cost of housing, especially here in
Speaker 4: southern California, which is one of the big issues is
Speaker 4: affording the house.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Right, So if I think the rates are right now
Speaker 4: are around six percent, So if they go down a
Speaker 4: percentage of two.
Speaker 5: It's great for home sales.
Speaker 1: I don't think I could have gotten my house if
Speaker 1: it was like six percent.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was like three percent or something.
Speaker 5: Definitely okay.
Speaker 1: So we asked you earlier about undecideds, right, like, who's
Speaker 1: still undecided? And what would make you decide? Were you
Speaker 1: a Trump? Were you going to vote for Trump and
Speaker 1: then change it to Kamala vice versa?
Speaker 2: What's the deal? And you hit us up on the
Speaker 2: talkback feature, Hey.
Speaker 6: My question would be and it would be to Donald Trump.
Speaker 6: His lawyers asserted that he could have Seal Team six,
Speaker 6: have his political opponents assassinated, and the only thing that
Speaker 6: could be done is that he could be removed from office.
Speaker 6: There's no legal problem with that action. I would ask
Speaker 6: him if he agrees with that.
Speaker 3: Hi, Shannon and the friend b Lincoln on the name.
Speaker 3: I am actually still undecided, but not in the way
Speaker 3: that you think I am not voting for Kamala. I
Speaker 3: am actually a pretty centrist Republican, and I think a
Speaker 3: lot of the crime in the state has to do
Speaker 3: with progressive things that she has put into place. So
Speaker 3: definitely not going that camp. But either Trump or a
Speaker 3: write in, I don't know.
Speaker 7: I would ask Trump how he plans on ending the
Speaker 7: Ukraine War and under what conditions? And I would ask
Speaker 7: Harris on how she supports Ukraine and under what conditions.
Speaker 7: I would ask Trump is he going to pull out
Speaker 7: of NATO? And under what conditions? What do you stay
Speaker 7: in NATO? And then I would ask Trump also how
Speaker 7: what are the actual plans of round of identifying and
Speaker 7: rounding up and departing reporting eleven million illegal aliens?
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean Ukraine's not really something that's been
Speaker 2: talked about, but also important. I think it is where
Speaker 2: people stand in terms of, you know, America first, and
Speaker 2: who are we going to help and to what extent
Speaker 2: are we going to help everybody?
Speaker 1: On that?
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's pretty clear on that. America first and then
Speaker 4: we'll worry about everybody else.
Speaker 2: Okay, before we get to this.
Speaker 5: Those were good. Those were good to sure comments.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, asking what you would ask if you
Speaker 1: were the moderator at the debate. By the way, it's
Speaker 1: going to be tomorrow at six hour time. I guess
Speaker 1: we can officially start swamp watch. It's still unclear on
Speaker 1: what percentage of voters out there are undecided. I mean,
Speaker 1: I've seen different polls that's say three percent, eight percent,
Speaker 1: some higher.
Speaker 5: I think it's got to be low.
Speaker 2: It's horrible the government, I think.
Speaker 5: Make it like a reality TV show. Corn Pop was
Speaker 5: a bad news.
Speaker 2: Always a pleasure to be anywhere from Washington, d C.
Speaker 7: Hey, you know it's a town hall too, clearly built
Speaker 7: on a swamp and in so many ways.
Speaker 5: Still a swamp. I have a watch of Malarkey.
Speaker 2: Boy said drained the swamp.
Speaker 6: I said, Oh, that's so he'll keep.
Speaker 2: You know the thing.
Speaker 7: Well.
Speaker 1: I over the weekend was reading some things in Politico
Speaker 1: and happened upon a political magazine item and it's called
Speaker 1: the Kamala and Tim Show that it's a it's kind
Speaker 1: of a buddy comedy act that feels familiar, and they
Speaker 1: they mentioned the Tacos video that was released in the
Speaker 1: campaign just days before the convention. It shows Kamala and
Speaker 1: Tim Walls chatting at a jazz club in Detroit. They're
Speaker 1: new running mates. They appear to be sudden besties. They're
Speaker 1: laughing about their differences. They're comparing musical tastes. He's Springsteen
Speaker 1: and Seeger, She's Aretha and Prince. She teased him for
Speaker 1: eating what he calls white guy tacos.
Speaker 2: Saying what is that mean? Like mayonnaise and tuna? What
Speaker 2: are you doing?
Speaker 1: And the article brings up a number of interesting points
Speaker 1: as they say, the running mate relationship is one of
Speaker 1: the most artificial alliances in politics, and that is why
Speaker 1: campaigns struggle to define it. They say that some candidates
Speaker 1: wanted to portray like an instant soulmate relationship nineteen ninety
Speaker 1: two Bill Clinton and Al Gore dancing to Fleetwood Mac
Speaker 1: and pretending to embark on a buddy movie road trip.
Speaker 1: Then there's the business arrangement, think Trump Pence right, That
Speaker 1: was definitely not a buddy relationship. And they say that
Speaker 1: the Harris Walls campaign has tried a different kind of introduction,
Speaker 1: that it's filled with banter, self deprecating jokes, a pitch
Speaker 1: to the TikTok generation in terms of bites. But for
Speaker 1: older voters it has this familiarity, familiar feeling to it
Speaker 1: that it's like a sitcom. It's like those multi camera
Speaker 1: family shows of the eighties. When both of these people
Speaker 1: came of age, they say, you know, Growing Pains, Cosby Show,
Speaker 1: Kitchen Table Talk, even that interview they did with Dana
Speaker 1: Bash felt like they were at a kitchen table, and
Speaker 1: that it's just this nice, aesthetic, wholesome, wholehearted, a blended
Speaker 1: family approach.
Speaker 4: The theory is that translates into votes because people say, oh.
Speaker 2: Yes, I like that. It's a nostalgic, feel good kind
Speaker 2: of feeling.
Speaker 5: What do you think.
Speaker 2: I think there's something to this scenario.
Speaker 5: Certainly a contrast between your other choice.
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, right right, they say, you know, family ties
Speaker 1: with that political premise too, hippies fighting themselves raising a
Speaker 1: briefcase toting Reagan Republican and Alex P.
Speaker 2: Keaton, right, but they all always wound up hugging in
Speaker 2: the end.
Speaker 1: These are two people who come from very different parts
Speaker 1: of the country, and that's why they compare to like
Speaker 1: a blended family, like different strokes or whatever. And then
Speaker 1: there's the whole Kamala Harris Doug m Hoff thing of
Speaker 1: the meet cute and it's the cool girl and the
Speaker 1: nerdy guy, and that reminds us of like John Hughes movies, right,
Speaker 1: So it's kind of like a hearkening back.
Speaker 4: To the eighties. And I'm not loving that whole premise
Speaker 4: from that Politico piece. I mean, I get it. This
Speaker 4: certainly has some validity to it. But again, if I'm
Speaker 4: am I voting, yes, I vote partly on personality, but
Speaker 4: I want some substance there too.
Speaker 5: I'm not really not looking for like a cute couple.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's saying it's going to translate to voters.
Speaker 1: It's just the description to give off. Yeah, the architect.
Speaker 1: Going back to what we were talking about earlier.
Speaker 4: Right, which is a clear choice that would have been
Speaker 4: maybe different it was Shapiro or Buddha Jeedge or another candidate.
Speaker 1: You have to do that kind of when there's a
Speaker 1: woman involved, and find a way to soften it but
Speaker 1: also be strong. Okay, Coming up next, we will do
Speaker 1: an up on the debate prep Right, what's going on?
Speaker 1: A method acting, insults, tough questions.
Speaker 5: They're going to all of that.
Speaker 1: Former President Trump has celebrated the birthday of Mary in
Speaker 1: a truth social post and a post on X Happy
Speaker 1: Birthday Mary, he posted on his social media platform, along
Speaker 1: with a photo of Our Lady of Guadaloupe, image bearing
Speaker 1: particular significance to Catholics in Mexico, where an Aztec man
Speaker 1: named Wan Diego so that Mary appeared to him several
Speaker 1: times in visions in fifteen thirty one.
Speaker 4: Okay, interesting, Yes, I'm sure how it helps him win
Speaker 4: the presidency, but I think he already has the religious vote,
Speaker 4: which is kind of confusing to make it.
Speaker 1: It is Catholics hold the image to be a miracle
Speaker 1: sign of Mary's love and protection for the America's.
Speaker 4: So he's wishing happy birthday. Good for him, it's his
Speaker 4: softer side. I know his kid's birthdays.
Speaker 1: No, I got it comes days after he announced Catholics
Speaker 1: for Trump, a coalition that his campaign describes as committed
Speaker 1: to safeguarding the vital principles of religious liberty and defending
Speaker 1: family values.
Speaker 4: It's hard to be against that family values. What are
Speaker 4: his family values?
Speaker 5: That's what?
Speaker 4: Because you remember after the Bide sorry, the Harris Walls
Speaker 4: Dana Bash interview, when the takeaway from that is her
Speaker 4: repeating like five times, my positions may have changed, but
Speaker 4: my values haven't changed. So then she never followed up
Speaker 4: by saying, well, what are those values? That would be
Speaker 4: a question for Trump and Harris tomorrow night, right, Yeah,
Speaker 4: what are your values?
Speaker 1: I was talking to a friend who is in the
Speaker 1: evangelical community, and I said, break this down for me.
Speaker 1: Does the how does the evangelic. I mean, I'm not
Speaker 1: knocking it or what have you. You vote for who
Speaker 1: you want to vote for. But explain it to me
Speaker 1: how the evangelicals have rallied behind Trump when he has
Speaker 1: not shown the best of values, shall we say, through
Speaker 1: the years. And he says to me, while it's kind
Speaker 1: of like a plumber. Your toilet is broken, you call
Speaker 1: a plumber, the plumber comes out. You don't care what
Speaker 1: the plumber has going on his life, you don't care
Speaker 1: who he's cheated on. You just want him to fix
Speaker 1: the toilet. And that's how they're kind of looking at Trump,
Speaker 1: I guess, in fact, just looking at the fact of
Speaker 1: his policy, that policy is advantageous for them, and that
Speaker 1: they're voting for the policy, not the person.
Speaker 5: Well.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and in reading about this, you know, you ask
Speaker 4: that question that evangelical leaders, and they say that people
Speaker 4: feel that Trump understands them. They don't necessarily agree with
Speaker 4: some of his behavior, some of his choice of language,
Speaker 4: maybe even his lifestyle choices, but they feel that he
Speaker 4: understands them, and so that's enough.
Speaker 1: And I don't know that that's enough. I don't quite
Speaker 1: understand that that he said it earlier. Some people they don't.
Speaker 1: They don't vote for policy, they vote for a feeling personality. Personality.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's an interesting it's sort of an interesting issue
Speaker 4: in this in this time that we're in with him,
Speaker 4: because you know, if you listed traditional Christian values, he
Speaker 4: probably wouldn't line up with any of those.
Speaker 2: But would he legislate?
Speaker 1: Would he would he talk out of both sides of
Speaker 1: his mouth in that regard where he doesn't live like that,
Speaker 1: But would he advocate for stronger family values?
Speaker 4: I think so it's he kind of has it both ways,
Speaker 4: yet he's trying to have it both ways, which so
Speaker 4: far he seems to have been succeeding at, which is
Speaker 4: a little bit confusing to me.
Speaker 1: So the debate is tomorrow, six o'clock our time. Kamala
Speaker 1: Harris has been holed up for five days in a
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh hotel doing highly choreographed debate practice sessions. There is
Speaker 1: a stage replica lighting an advisor in full method acting mode.
Speaker 4: Well, that makes sense. I mean, they've all done that
Speaker 4: to some degree except for Trump.
Speaker 1: From my understanding, they even have someone dressing like Donald
Speaker 1: Trump in a boxy suit a long tie.
Speaker 2: I don't know if we need to go that far
Speaker 2: what about the hair. Oh good question.
Speaker 4: So it's kind of like a an NFL team right
Speaker 4: where you're going against the scout team that you're preparing
Speaker 4: for the opponent based on their tendencies and history. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it makes sense. You're not just going to go in
Speaker 4: there and wing it. With the stakes this high, bringing.
Speaker 1: Out Trump's most self destructive instincts is a priority for
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris, and that is why he in his uh.
Speaker 5: That's why he wanted the microphones off.
Speaker 1: That's why he wanted the microphones off. And that's why
Speaker 1: he needs to be his most controlled self, not to
Speaker 1: give her that. I mean, if he goes out there,
Speaker 1: like we were saying earlier, and he treats her with
Speaker 1: kindness and respect, that's a lose for her.
Speaker 4: She needs him to fly off the hand. That's why
Speaker 4: she wanted the mics open, because she wanted that. Excuse me,
Speaker 4: I am speaking now moment. And I also read an
Speaker 4: update that JD. Vance is going to be in the
Speaker 4: spin room. You know, the spin room is the post
Speaker 4: debate comments from the surrogates. Yeah, Vance is going to
Speaker 4: be there, and then that'll be interesting to have him
Speaker 4: on live afterwards. I like the live aspect to all
Speaker 4: of this. Yes, you know, it's it's more unpredictable, more real.
Speaker 4: The debate is going to be somewhat rehearsed. I mean,
Speaker 4: let's say it's ninety minutes. They have two minutes answer
Speaker 4: to three minutes, So how many questions can you really
Speaker 4: get in?
Speaker 5: It's a limited amount, and it's got to all be rehearsed.
Speaker 4: And by rehearsed, I mean from each side anticipating questions
Speaker 4: and then how the other side's going to answer them,
Speaker 4: and then what you're going to say.
Speaker 5: And obviously the major issues that we've talked about before.
Speaker 1: And we'll talk about it tomorrow because we'll be talking
Speaker 1: about the latest and I wanted to talk about you know,
Speaker 1: what do you think the wow? Is there going to
Speaker 1: be a wild card question? And we should also probably
Speaker 1: create a drinking bingo as well. Well you are going
Speaker 1: to be a drinking Thursday morning. But but yeah, the
Speaker 1: stakes are high for this, right, wouldn't you say?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 4: I'd say they're higher for Harrison for Trump. That's my
Speaker 4: take on it initially, because she's still, you know, we
Speaker 4: know what he is, She's still trying to define herself.
Speaker 1: Right, and we've only seen the choreographed movie of Kamala
Speaker 1: Harriston Walls. So it's going to be off the cuff.
Speaker 1: I mean, she did the interview with Dana Bash, but
Speaker 1: this is going to be truly off the cuff.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: But then again, it's not like she's inexperienced. I mean,
Speaker 4: she's been an elected official or her entire adult life
Speaker 4: to the most, she hasn't had great moments off the
Speaker 4: cuff in that way. And I remember the first presidential
Speaker 4: when she ran, you know, four years ago, she dropped
Speaker 4: up before the first primary.
Speaker 5: She had no traction whatsoever.
Speaker 4: So see, this is what's interesting the people that are
Speaker 4: anti Harris that make this point, it's like she went nowhere.
Speaker 5: The first time she ran for president.
Speaker 4: She was selected by Biden for you know, various reasons
Speaker 4: depending on your perspective, merit or not. She's done nothing
Speaker 4: as a vice president. She was put in charge of
Speaker 4: immigration policy incorrectly labeled as the borders are did.
Speaker 5: Nothing on that.
Speaker 4: So Biden flames out in the first Trump debate, and
Speaker 4: now all of a sudden, she's the golden child.
Speaker 5: Right, this is the quote unquote knock on her.
Speaker 4: So this is why tomorrow night she needs to step
Speaker 4: up to the plate and show people she can do
Speaker 4: the job.
Speaker 2: Show the math, right, Yeah, I don't want to just
Speaker 2: see the headlines.
Speaker 1: I want to see her dig into something and appear
Speaker 1: to have strength and intelligence so he can stop saying
Speaker 1: that she's not intelligent. Right, that's been a talking point.
Speaker 1: I don't think it doesn't many favors. You know how
Speaker 1: much I appreciate it that much? Is that I.
Speaker 2: I'm a diehard forty.
Speaker 1: Nine er fan and I'm sitting with you while you're
Speaker 1: wearing Rams insignia and I'm still having a great time,
Speaker 1: and that speaks volumes.
Speaker 4: You know, you have to expand your horizons a little bit.
Speaker 4: I have to expand my horizons, Okay, to talk to
Speaker 4: the enemies, Yeah, exactly. Embrace your enemy, you know. Let's
Speaker 4: put an end to this divisiveness, Okay, Let's come together
Speaker 4: as a nation not be.
Speaker 2: So polarized on opposite sides of the NFC West.
Speaker 5: It is a good looking shirt, that, don't you think
Speaker 5: it is a good looking shirt? Yeah?
Speaker 2: So Tyreek Hill right, speaking of the NFL. Yes, he
Speaker 2: was arrested or detained or whatever you want to say,
Speaker 2: yesterday right before the game, right outside the stadium.
Speaker 1: It didn't look good. He was put in handcuffs, the
Speaker 1: whole bit. The union representing Miami Dade Police officers have
Speaker 1: issued a statement now saying that Tyreek Hill was uncooperative
Speaker 1: and was only redirected to the ground while in handcuffs
Speaker 1: during his detainment because he refused orders to sit.
Speaker 5: Redirected to the ground. That's a very creative term. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Before the Dolphins game yesterday. Reading from the statement, now,
Speaker 1: an incident occurred where Tyreek Hill was placed in handcuffs
Speaker 1: before being released.
Speaker 2: At no time was he ever under arrest.
Speaker 1: He was briefly detained for officer safety after driving in
Speaker 1: a manner in which he was putting himself and others
Speaker 1: in great danger. Upon being stopped, mister Hill was not
Speaker 1: immediately cooperative with the officers on the scene, who pursue
Speaker 1: into policy and for their immediate safety, placed him in handcuffs.
Speaker 1: He was still uncooperative, refused to sit on the ground,
Speaker 1: and therefore was redirected to the ground. Once the situation
Speaker 1: was sorted out within a few minutes, he was issued
Speaker 1: two traffic citations and was free to leave.
Speaker 5: Is that the end of the story?
Speaker 3: YEP?
Speaker 4: I mean redirected to the ground as one of those
Speaker 4: creative law enforcement terms. Sure, right, redirected to the ground.
Speaker 4: I mean he's driving a McLaren, which I think is
Speaker 4: about a four million dollar car.
Speaker 2: If you're Tyreek Hill, what is this? What is the
Speaker 2: threat to the officers?
Speaker 5: Exactly?
Speaker 2: He doesn't have a weapon on him. Well, if he was,
Speaker 2: I mean, you don't drive a McLaren on the speed limit.
Speaker 2: You don't drive it twenty five miles an hour or
Speaker 2: what have you your Tyreek Hill.
Speaker 1: You don't walk twenty five miles an hour. Nothing he
Speaker 1: does is slow. So he was probably So are we
Speaker 1: saying this is a racial thing?
Speaker 5: I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I want to know how fast he
Speaker 2: was speeding. I'd like to see vivicit.
Speaker 5: Reckless driving apparently like that. Yeah, when you have that
Speaker 5: kind of a car.
Speaker 2: But you know, you have to ask yourself what Tom
Speaker 2: Brady ben Hand's house?
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I think we know the answer to that.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: So there was an article in the Washington Post about
Speaker 1: a guy by the name of Bradley caden Head. He's
Speaker 1: nineteen years old and he's only in year two of
Speaker 1: his eighty year prison sentence. What did Bradley do to
Speaker 1: deserve such a long sentence at such a young age. Well,
Speaker 1: they believe that starting when Bradley was fifteen, he founded
Speaker 1: an online group that pressured vulnerable children to commit violence
Speaker 1: or degrading acts. This was a kid whose mother was
Speaker 1: moved out of the home. She's a drinker, a partier,
Speaker 1: and all all the things. So it's already unsettled at home.
Speaker 1: He goes into middle school, faces constant bullying. He was
Speaker 1: viewed as an easy target, they say, isolated suffering breakdowns,
Speaker 1: didn't care about anything. At fifteen years old, he drops
Speaker 1: out of school and retreats to his room. They said
Speaker 1: that's where he became. As opposed to the isolated, lonely
Speaker 1: teenager he was, he became a notorious predator of the
Speaker 1: social media age.
Speaker 2: Discord. Discord comes up all the time, which he's monster.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And they said that he used discord to cultivate
Speaker 1: a domineering online persona, and that he built a global
Speaker 1: following among sadists who preyed on vulnerable children. They would
Speaker 1: convince these kids to share explicit images and then blackmail
Speaker 1: them into doing awful stuf on video.
Speaker 2: I mean, really, the worst of the worst the prosecutor.
Speaker 1: Told the judge at his sentencing last year, very rarely
Speaker 1: do we get a chance to look evil in the face,
Speaker 1: and this is one of those times.
Speaker 5: And he was sentenced to eighty years.
Speaker 1: Yes, apparently there are safeguards on Discord that it's a
Speaker 1: platform that relies largely on other users to flag abuse
Speaker 1: that occurs in private chat rooms. But if you're surrounded
Speaker 1: by these weird sadists and things like that, nobody's going
Speaker 1: to raise the red flag and say this guy's doing
Speaker 1: bad things.
Speaker 2: Because you're doing bad things too.
Speaker 4: Well, this is one of our theories that we've been
Speaker 4: talking about, right, is the downside of the Internet and.
Speaker 2: Who should be held accountable?
Speaker 1: Should it be the digital platform, should they be Should
Speaker 1: they have the onus to police their platforms?
Speaker 5: Well, they say they do, and this is an example
Speaker 5: of that that he was caught, tried and convicted. But
Speaker 5: is that enough? I mean, and you wonder what else
Speaker 5: goes on that is never brought to their attention.
Speaker 1: Just what I'm saying, what is Discord's responsibility here? You know,
Speaker 1: it's like Telegram. The CEO arrested in France last month
Speaker 1: on charges that Telegram was enabling distribution of child porn
Speaker 1: images or sex abuse.
Speaker 2: Images, I should say. And so it's just I think again,
Speaker 2: this is something that needs to be right.
Speaker 4: But this again the bigger picture, is this the dark
Speaker 4: side of the Internet, and how teenagers who are bullied
Speaker 4: or troubled or come from a broken family or whatever
Speaker 4: the issue might be, retreat like this article.
Speaker 5: This is an incredible article in the Washington Post. It's
Speaker 5: really like detailed.
Speaker 2: Unis really strong stomach to get through this.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it's an example of what can happen with
Speaker 4: someone who retreats, as it said, into their bedroom and
Speaker 4: into cyber world.
Speaker 2: It's never good for any of us to retreat into
Speaker 2: a loneliness and a loneeness.
Speaker 4: And it's it's sad because you know, in retrospect, you
Speaker 4: look at it, you say, obvious, this person had signs
Speaker 4: is trouble. The same thing with the with Gray, the
Speaker 4: shooter and Georgia and many others who were in similar situations.
Speaker 4: And it's easy versa look back when we read these
Speaker 4: you know, well researched newspaper articles and say all the
Speaker 4: warning signs were there, you know, But it's not that simple, right, Yeah,
Speaker 4: I mean, as a parent, how much. Do you know
Speaker 4: what your kid is doing when they're in their room
Speaker 4: on their computer right right now. This is obviously an
Speaker 4: extreme case, but again it goes back to where one
Speaker 4: of our central theories here in KFI, or at least
Speaker 4: one of my central theories, is that when history of
Speaker 4: our time is written, the Internet may turn out to
Speaker 4: be a negative for all of the great things that
Speaker 4: it enables us to do.
Speaker 5: There's there's there's too many ways to abuse.
Speaker 1: It without a doubt, because we're humans and we are
Speaker 1: not perfect people, and left to our devices, it's not
Speaker 1: always the best thing.
Speaker 2: Every once in a while, your Boston accent comes out
Speaker 2: right there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, when I said Florida, Yeah, yeah, that is weird
Speaker 4: a couple of words.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it comes out on and I love that.
Speaker 2: Austin, Oh, what's a great city.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Egg recall underway in nine states. More than sixty salmonella.
Speaker 2: Cases were reported.
Speaker 1: I guess it's a Wisconsin based Milo's Poultry Farms been
Speaker 1: recalling all eggs branded Milo's Poultry Farms does include California, Virginia, Iowa, Minnesota, Colorado, Utah, California,
Speaker 1: and Michigan, Wisconsin and Illinois.
Speaker 4: Can I give you one other update on the Trump story,
Speaker 4: get it So. In addition to saying that he's going
Speaker 4: to vote to decriminalize small amounts of marijuana and Florida,
Speaker 4: which again is about twenty years behind the times, he
Speaker 4: also said that if he wins in November, his administration
Speaker 4: will quote focus on research to unlock the medical uses
Speaker 4: of marijuana. Again cutting edge concepts. We've had that for
Speaker 4: how long in California?
Speaker 5: About twenty years?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, hey, you know he's making progress. Sure, one issue
Speaker 4: at a time.
Speaker 1: Beetlejuice, Beetle Juice dominating the Bax office. The sequel to
Speaker 1: that eighty eight hit horror comedy earned one hundred and
Speaker 1: ten million dollars in its opening weekend. I watched the
Speaker 1: original original one recently just to see if.
Speaker 2: It holds up.
Speaker 5: And it does. Yeah, it's great.
Speaker 2: Part of it is does it hold up? Or is
Speaker 2: it just my nostalgia kicking in?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Maybe a little of both. But I happened to be
Speaker 4: a huge Michael Keaton fan. Me too, and I'll watch
Speaker 4: anything that Michael.
Speaker 5: Keaton is in.
Speaker 2: Is he your favorite Batman?
Speaker 5: I wasn't really that.
Speaker 4: Much into the Batman's I liked what he I mean,
Speaker 4: I'm not a superhero movie guy, and the MCUs and
Speaker 4: you know, the Mulverine and Tangerine and whatever whatever. But
Speaker 4: I remember, did you ever watch Dope Sick with Michael Keaton?
Speaker 3: Wow?
Speaker 4: He won an Emmy for that well deserved moving Michael Keaton.
Speaker 4: You know you don't if you say, okay, list our
Speaker 4: top ten actors in the country right now, you don't
Speaker 4: necessarily put Michael Keaton on that list, but maybe you should.
Speaker 5: So good for him.
Speaker 4: On Beetlejuice beetled all the way, I thought, maybe they
Speaker 4: got to come up with a better title for the sequel.
Speaker 4: When was the last time you went to a movie
Speaker 4: in a movie theater?
Speaker 2: I went after we were allowed back out in the wild.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I hated it because I during the pandemic,
Speaker 1: I got used to watching things at home and streaming
Speaker 1: things and being able to hit pause or what have you.
Speaker 1: And when I went to the first movie after the pandemic, people.
Speaker 2: Do not know how to act. I mean they're talking
Speaker 2: the whole.
Speaker 1: Time, they're on their phones, they're yelling things at the
Speaker 1: I think Barbie was the last Barby I went to,
Speaker 1: but that was like a premiere also, so everyone was
Speaker 1: called Pressed Up, and.
Speaker 4: Now I miss going to the movies. I think the
Speaker 4: last movie I maybe saw him the big screen was
Speaker 4: like Oppenheimer. Okay, like in three D Imax super Duper.
Speaker 4: I think a Man's Chinese Theater or whatever whatever it's called.
Speaker 1: Now, let's not sleep on the Dream Team from nineteen
Speaker 1: eighty nine with Michael Keaton.
Speaker 5: Wow, I'd have to go back and look at that one.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I loved him as Batman, all right, anyway, all right,
Speaker 1: So I saw this as kind of cute. It's in
Speaker 1: People magazine and it's a four sentence obituary. This is
Speaker 1: it's gone viral. The daughter wrote it for a woman
Speaker 1: now by the name of Florence goes By Flow Harrelson,
Speaker 1: sixty five. It says Flow Harrelson, sixty five, formerly of Chelsea,
Speaker 1: died without family by her side due to burnt bridges
Speaker 1: and a wake of destruction left in her path. Florence
Speaker 1: did not want an obituary or anyone, including family, to
Speaker 1: know she died. That's because even in depth, she wanted
Speaker 1: those she terrorized to still be living in fear, looking
Speaker 1: over their shoulders. So this isn't so much an obituary
Speaker 1: but a public service announcement.
Speaker 5: From the daughter. From the daughter, it's a lot of
Speaker 5: love in that family, huh.
Speaker 1: She says she hasn't spoken to her mom in a decade.
Speaker 1: She only discovered what had happened after a discussion with
Speaker 1: a friend about how things were too quiet around town lately.
Speaker 2: It's from me, right right.
Speaker 1: She said that her mom took sport in ruining every
Speaker 1: birthday in Chrismis played cruel pranks on her when she
Speaker 1: was little, taking her to the top of a bridge,
Speaker 1: having her and her partner grabbed the daughter's legs and
Speaker 1: arms and act like they were going to throw her
Speaker 1: into the water below. The daughter says, I still can't
Speaker 1: drive over a bridge without getting an anxiety attack.
Speaker 2: See, it's a good thing this daughter didn't have access
Speaker 2: to a computer as a young child. Exactly.
Speaker 5: She knows how she would have turned up.
Speaker 1: But I like it when obituaries are honest, you know,
Speaker 1: instead of she she lit up every room she walked into.
Speaker 2: She was kind of an a hole.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but this one, I mean was taken to extreme.
Speaker 4: This isn't so much an obituary, but more of a
Speaker 4: public service announcement that she's did.
Speaker 5: I love it. That's from people dot com. Also, you
Speaker 5: never know what you find.
Speaker 2: Michael Keaton Pacific Heights nineteen ninety.
Speaker 4: Okay, great movie. Yeah that was that was frightening, right,
Speaker 4: it was terrifying. I still keep coming back to dope
Speaker 4: sic though. What a story that was and what a
Speaker 4: what a performance that was by him. I've gone down
Speaker 4: the Michael Keaton hole.
Speaker 5: Now what else you got?
Speaker 2: Didn't know he was in Dumbo? Did?
Speaker 5: What about the one?
Speaker 4: Remember the one about McDonald's. Yes, the founder, the founder. Yeah,
Speaker 4: that was really interesting and well done. All right, all right,
Speaker 4: I mean I love going to the movies. I really
Speaker 4: missed that.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: My wife and I would go to the Arc Light
Speaker 4: in Hollywood all the time, which is to me, it's
Speaker 4: like a crime that that is not open, I know.
Speaker 4: And the Cinerama Dome, which is like a national landmark
Speaker 4: really and you drive by there and it's like boarded up.
Speaker 4: It's like, with all the money in Hollywood, you think
Speaker 4: someone would want to get those going.
Speaker 2: Again, we're isolating. We're still isolating. What's going on.
Speaker 5: You've been listening to the Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 4: You can always hear us live on KFI AM six
Speaker 4: forty nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday,
