This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to kf I AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.

It's February sixth.

The uh opening ceremonies for the Olympics have begun.

The dancing is beautiful.

I'll take your word for it.

What does that look like when you're in the stadium in the arena there?

I can't look as good as it does on television.

No, it's all shot for television, so it's all produced for television.

I guess I should say in these Italy, that's right.

I just can't remember where they were.

They're in Italy.

Now did you know that?

I?

I sure did?

Did you sure did?

Uh?

Oh?

You're going to play the thing?

Aren't you?

Which part?

What's it?

The drum roll?

Yeah?

Do you know what?

I get excited every time I hear this, thinking like I don't know what it is, but you know, but I do.

It's like watching Apollo thirteenth.

I think they're going to make it to the moon.

Yes.

Today, at one o'clock on Instagram Live, we're going to make a big announcement about an event that we have coming up that we want you to be a part of.

It is what we would call a limited capacity event.

So but we're going to tell you how you could get your name in the hopper to come to this event today on Instagram Live right after the show.

So you have to follow us on Instagram at Gary and Shannon.

You'll get the notification if you're following us that we're about to go live and we'll tell you then about the event when it is, what it is, and how you can be involved with us again only on Instagram Live today at one o'clock and to do that, make sure you follow us on Instagram at Gary and Shannon.

You'll get that notification and join us for our big announcement today.

Talks are said to begin with Iran.

It's just a little bit of a problem that the top administration officials doing the tops don't really know.

What Trump wants.

It's where we kick off swamp Watch.

I'm a politician, which means I'm a cheat and a liar, and when I'm not kissing babies, I'm stealing their lollipops.

Here we got.

The real problem is that our leaders are done.

The other side never quits.

So what I'm not going anywhere so that you train the squad.

I can imagine what can be and be unburdened by what has been.

You know, Americans have always been going at President.

They're not stupid.

A political plunder is when a politician actually tells the truth.

Why have the people voted for you were not swamp watch, They're all cana.

So it's starting today, the US and Iran are holding several hours of nuclear negotiations.

It's in Oman, and these meetings will continue as the days continue.

These are the first face to face talks between the US and Iran since the Twelve Day War last June.

As we've been reporting to you, there has been an increasingly strong presence of US military in the Gulf.

The President has that he could pivot to military action if a deal can't be reached quickly.

But there's a little bit of a vague understanding when it comes to what the President hopes to accomplish.

What kind of guidance they're looking for here with the president, it's anybody's guess.

According to people in the room.

He the President did an interview with tomm Yamas the other day that you're going to see part of on the Super Bowl pregame, and he said, among other things, that Iran may be trying to reconstitute its nuclear program after Operation Midnight Hammer from last summer, and he said they were thinking about starting a new site in a different part of the country.

We found out about it.

I said, you do that, we're going to do very bad things to you.

But in terms of what a precise goal would be that has not yet been outlined.

Does he want to talk poppol the regime, does he want to make it weak?

Does he want to impose rules when it comes to Iran's nuclear and missile programs?

All very vague.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio at this point has been the most clear.

But again he's the Secretary of State and is not the president.

So he said, these negotiations are taking place, will include things like curtailing the nuclear program, but also curtailing the range of the Iranian ballistic missiles that we know that they have thousands of, as well as support for any of the proxy countries in that area, think Yemen for example, and the treatment of their own peace, their own people.

We don't think that anything has taken place yet.

Face to face for example, bought all let me try it again, bought Albu SAIDI sounds great.

Is the foreign minister for Iran?

He met, Sorry, he's the foreign minister for Oman.

He met with the Iranian foreign minister, and then went across the hallway and met with Steve Whitcoff and Jared Kushner, who are become sort of our main negotiators around the world.

But we don't think that Steve Whitcoff and Jared Kushner have met with the Iranian space to face as of yet.

So one of the key participants in the attack on the compound in Benghazi from fourteen years ago, yeah, fourteen years ago, has been arrested and handed over to the United States.

Pam Bondi announced today that Zuba Alba Kush landed at Joint Base Andrews very early this morning and will be tried in federal court in DC.

They didn't say how long he'd been in custody.

They didn't say anything about where he had been apprehended.

He was charged with the crimes of storming that compound from twenty twelve, including the murders of the ambassador Chris Stevens, the State Department employee Sean Smith, and the attempted murder of State Department Special Agent Scott wickland Arson was one of the other things in there.

At the time, Republicans accused President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton of failing to protect Americans how they responded during that thirteen hour siege.

That movie that was made, I think it was called Thirteen Hours, was a pretty incredible look at what exactly happened.

What do you think we're seeing in the US or not the US of Milan opening ceremonies.

Now we've got brightly colored costumes.

Some of them look like they're from Wizard of Oz.

Yeah, this is the artsy portion of the art where I stumble and I think, what is this?

As a man in a baker's outfit that is a teal.

His whole face is teal too.

Anyway, it's very beautiful.

There are those three guys.

Those look like people that maybe wrote the Constitution of Italy, the Italian Constitution.

Maybe they're Italian composers.

She's full music, Italian hosers or artists.

Very artistic.

Is this opening ceremony?

They usually are elsewhere opera ah ah, we don't have the sound up, so we can't elsewhere in the swamp.

It turns out those Republicans tax cuts, remember the big beautiful bill, They shaved billions off Amazon's tax bill.

New government filings just out show that Amazon had a one point two billion dollar tax bill last year, down from nine.

Billion the previous year.

Amazon's tax bill dropped eighty seven percent, even as its profits jumped by forty five percent.

That sounds nice and.

Jeff Bezos can't keep the doors open at the Washington Post.

Well, I one could argue that that is a failing Yes, sure, yes, I mean the man is in the business of making money.

That is true.

He's not in the visits of charity.

The White House tried to explain away a video that President Trump posted on truth social last night.

The portrayed Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama as apes.

It was to the song The Lion Sleeps Tonight.

It was at the end of a video that promoted theories about the abnormalities in the twenty twenty election.

Caroline Levitt said, stop the fake outrage.

It's from an internet meme depicting President Trump as the King of the Jungle and the Democrats as characters from The Lion King Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina, the only black Republican, said it's the most racist thing I've seen out of this White House.

The President should remove it.

Mike Lawler of New York said it's wrong, it's incredibly offensive.

The video should be deleted immediately.

In an apology offered, many Republicans had come out and said that the White House did take it down.

They actually credited it, credited it to a White House staffer who quote posted it erroneously.

It's always interesting when they bring out the Obamas as a distraction, isn't it.

You had the Clintons moving to Capitol Hill next week to talk about Epstein.

They want all these things out in the open.

It's very interesting when they bring back the Obamas to make fun of them, poke fun of them, wonder about their origins, all of that.

It's kind of a.

Reflex that the Trump administration goes back to, whether it's a birth certificates or what have you.

Let's bring out the Obamas distraction distraction.

Let's look forward now, Let's stop looking from ten to fifteen, twenty years ago.

Let's start looking.

It's just in the whole staffer, whether I mean it's it's grosser when it's the presidential administration that blames a widely circulated meme or whatever on a staffer.

I mean, it's embarrassing when that happened at the New York Jets or whatever NFL organization where recently did that when they're like, oh, it's an internis of staffer?

Like, that's embarrassing when you're a big corporation.

It's even more embarrassing when it's the White House.

What are you doing?

Gary and Shannon will continue A chance at one thousand bucks is coming up.

You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI AM six forty.

So we are staying on top of the mystery that continues to widen with the kidnapping of Nancy Guthrie.

The alleged ransom letter, originally sent to TMZ three days after she was taken late Saturday into Sunday morning, had given a couple of deadlines.

One of those deadlines has came and gone.

It was five pm last night.

Now TMZ did an extended description of this letter.

They're not giving away everything, but they are getting into more of what the letter contains.

We did hear from the FBI yesterday at the Sheriff's conference about the couple mentions of specific things in the ransom letter that maybe only the person who took her would know about the floodlights being damaged outside the house, as well as the what was the other thing, the phone?

The apple wa the apple specific location of the apple one.

Right, So, Harvey Levin went on TMC today and they talked about the ransom letter and the few details offering clues about how far away she may have been taken.

And they say, if the letter is legit, it does offer clues as to where she would be.

There's a demand of millions in bitcoin fornace Nancy safe return, and there is a timeline in the letter allegedly for how long it would take Nancy to be returned to Tucson after getting the money.

That timeline is what's leading them to get sort of a geographic I guess area where they think that Nancy may be held right now, and it could be within I mean the way that Harvey Levin did it, he kind of did a very basic sketch of what are the western United States and then drew a circle with Tucson right in the middle.

Driving distance.

I'm thinking it's.

Like twelve hours, eight hours, eight to twelve hours, we'll have her back within eight to twelve hours.

By the way, puts us in that circle.

I mean, somebody could They could be in southern California because it's not hard to get to Tucson from here.

So that is all.

Something that's This is going to be a weird weekend because everybody's attention is going to be everywhere else unless you're the Guthrie family.

Probably real estate pictures are often misleading, aren't they.

I find them to be.

AI now is well, it probably has already been in the world of real estate for quite some time.

It's just now people are talking about it.

You and I know somebody who does drone work, drone images, drone videos, drone photos for real estate.

And I remember years ago talking about the importance of having a computer program that would help punch up your pictures, adjust the lighting in your pictures, make it more dramatic so that it looks more beautiful, that it looks like an actual high end lifestyles of the rich and famous kind of photo shoot.

But when you think of a.

Let's say you're trying to sell your house and all your furniture's moved out of it, and all you do is just take pictures of the big empty rooms.

That's fine, and to be honest, that's what I would prefer.

If I was buying a house, I'd want to see what it looks like, so I'd a bunch of your stuff's not cluttering up, right, But people also want to see what does it look like with furniture in it.

And instead of going through the process of company that's going to come in stage a bunch of furniture, why not just have AI go in and add a couch here, or an autumn in there, or pictures on the wall, or plants or something.

An Illinois based agent, Katie Spanniac had that idea as well.

She thought there was a house in a suburb north of Chicago that'd be perfect for this.

Had tremendous appeal on paper, looked terrible in photos when it was empty.

She said the.

House needed quite a bit of work, so she ordered some virtually staged photos that used AI added the furniture you're talking about, wall hanging, stacks of coffee, table books.

But when potential buyers began showing up, she noticed a problem.

They seemed disappointed, disoriented.

They didn't even recognize why they were upset.

They just knew they knew they were well that we go to the term uncanny valley.

You know that something's wrong about that AI generated image.

Can't quite put your finger out.

There is a level of manipulation that we've known for a while to when baked into real estate, those wide angle lenses to make spaces look bigger, aerosol sprays that make things smell like freshly baked cookies or what have you.

Like, when you took your house tour, you probably didn't notice that ascent on the old carpet that had the smell of some body long pass.

Oh my bo ghost.

Right, Yeah, that's a good point.

I don't remember smelling that when we went through the first time.

That is the coolest, weirdest thing I've ever heard when it comes to like buying a home.

We exorcised that.

Ye yeah, yeah, that thing, But like you smelled it long after.

Was it a bo smell or was it just a wee WHI.

It's so weird and I wonder what happened on that stair.

My wife assured me it wasn't the smell that I eminated.

Maybe it was a pet.

Oh, there's all kinds of dead pets in that place.

Yeah, all over the place.

Yeah yeah, my dog, current dog will perk up and look into the corner when there's nothing there.

Really, I'm sure there's a bunch of wow, dog and cat ghosts rolling roaming through my house.

I'll make sure to say hello when I see them.

On Sunday, wreak everybody out, Hello, Fluffy, Hello, there you are.

Yeah.

I the idea that you could use it.

Of course, real estate is just the latest arena where AI is going to come in and I don't know, take over, create problems.

I guess you could say, hey, on Wall Street, the Dow is up over fifty thousand.

Whoa, for the very first time.

It's had a great day.

It's up almost eleven hundred points right now.

That's up two and a quarter percent, fifty thousand for the first time ever.

Within So, we'll see if it continues over the course of the next hour or so and see if it can close above fifty thousand for the first time.

I wonder why, Probably the waste management open.

Ah.

So there you go, some good news for you.

Also good news is Heather Brooker.

She joins us for our weekend entertainment Report.

What is your damage, Heather?

This is entertainment news.

I thought you guys would have made the announcement already because I was very excited to talk about it, and now I.

Have to wait.

Enough.

Rumors around this place are crazy.

I know.

Wait, maybe I don't know now you're maybe I'm second guesting myself.

I saw Send Help you did for the weekend.

What'd you think because you told me to.

Yes, I liked it, Yeah, a lot.

It was very entertained.

I felt like, I know, it's been kind of done before, little different pieces of different movies I could see in it, and I don't want to mention those.

I don't want to ruin it.

But I was very entertained throughout the whole thing.

It's getting really great reviews.

People are really enjoying it, and it's still at the top of the box office list.

So it's doing really well for a January opening or you know, I guess maybe early February, late January opening of a slightly horror kind of a film.

It's doing really, really well.

Yeah, and there's no horror in it.

There's maybe one moment where you go, oh, a little jump scare, but but nothing in the theater.

Yeah, pretty much.

Did you spill your popcorn?

No, that had been consumed by that.

She was done with that before the trailers were done.

That's right.

She like an American.

She ignores the rules.

Nobody has that rule.

Everybody has the rule.

Gether?

Have you ever heard of a rule that you don't eat the popcorn until the previews are done?

Where did you learn this meanness to do that?

Commune?

Seriously?

Where?

Well?

Listen, I didn't grow up with all the money that you guys did.

We were told if it doesn't last, that's the last popcorn you're ever going to get.

My parents never bought us popcorn.

They never bought us any any of that side exactly, so did we.

But like, I've never heard that rule anywhere.

I used to have a friend who would bring in a bag of spinach and eat it during the movie.

That sounds like a fun friend.

I think you.

I think you made that rule in your head, that rule in my okay, because you didn't have popcorn.

You just must see a lot of rules.

When I would eat my imaginary popcorn, I finish it.

So that's your rule in your head as a child.

That's not a real world in life.

I don't wait.

Nobody waits, sit down, the popcorn is there, You're in the zone.

You're ready to party.

My husband routinely will dust off a large before the previous.

You have the AMC stubs membership where you can get the free large if you finish the one.

No, but we do have a theater with a lot of fiber.

We do have a movie theater locally with free refills.

Lets get the large, Yeah.

Yeah, I get it.

I'll get the large, and then I will get the little light to go containers or whatever, and I'll give it to Chan and Chris and then we all have like our own little.

There you go popcorn.

Yeah.

I have to have a separate bin for mine.

Otherwise it's like it's a horror movie with my husband and the territorial nature of popcrat.

Yeah.

We came home from a movie one time and I was like getting undressed, you're welcome for the visual and popcorn fell out of my bra and my husbands what is.

Wrong that happens?

He said, you eat that.

I could count on one hand the times that hasn't happened.

I don't know what it is, but it just falls in the boob area.

You're just going.

It's just like you're just but I do that.

I'll do that like in real life aside from movies too, like where stuff gets trapped.

It's like a shelf.

It's a shelf.

It just catches things anyway.

You think I am also blessed with be cups, but I do not.

But you don't wear low cut tops.

Like if you're well.

I don't want to.

I don't want to send hearts of fluttering.

I know you don't.

You know what?

Maybe for the super Bowl party, I was already said, I've planned three different outfits for you got pre game, you got one for kickoff, and then one for that bunny.

Oh my god, I'm so excited for this tour de force.

Of And then at the end of the game, on goes the bathrobe to signal to everybody.

Get out.

Is it dirty?

Is it clean?

We'll see see it depends on how long you stick around.

It may start clean.

There's a bunch of stuff coming out.

Hey, look a new Dracula movie.

Yes, so I was excited.

Wathering Heights has been described as the world's greatest love story.

Yes with Margot Robbie and Jacob A Lordi A Lordie and The Muffett Show and I Love all of that more so the Muppet Show.

Is it the Bride movie?

The Bride movie, Wathering Heights?

No, the oh oh Dracula.

Oh they're redoing Wathering Heights.

Yes, okay, so the remaking.

There's a remake of Weathering Heights.

And I brought it to your attention today because I know you're off next Friday on Gallantine's Day, and I want to talk about this.

Because this is a funeral.

Actually I know, but this is I did not know that, but I wanted to bring this up.

I'm sorry, that's okay.

I just got I had a good life, but the idea of me taking it off for Gallanine's Day made me nauseous, so I had to I was like, oh, wait, no, I.

Think I really told me to go.

Shannon's not going to be here for Gallanteyne's Day.

Can we talk about Weathering Heights?

Oh?

My god, come back and we'll talk about all three of those when we come back.

Gary and Shannon will continue.

You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI AM six forty.

Listen.

Not everybody's going to be down with Super Bowl.

They're looking for o their stuff to do this Weekend.

So Heather Brooker joins us, So let's start with the Weathering Heights, because I think that's the one that's getting the most publicity because of Margot Robbie Jacob Alordie.

I didn't realize that he was Australian.

But they're Australian and they're hot.

Apparently that's the thing.

That's pretty much it.

That's the summary of this.

So this is if you can imagine, you know, the movie everyone's clamoring for, which is Emily Bronte, but make it sexy.

This classic film, you know, this classic book rather has been remade a lot of times.

Weathering Heights has been made in many different iterations over the years.

This one, though, is from Emerald Fennel, which she's the director of Saltburn, writer director of Saltburn.

If you remember that movie with starring Keegan I think it's Barry Kingan.

Anyway, she has a very sexy take on this.

Some are saying it's sort of like Weathering Heights meets S and M these two are.

It's very sensual, a lot of heaving bosoms, a lot of like long lances.

Who doesn't did you read this book?

And your yeah, travel I remember reading it in high school.

It was like required reading.

No one of those is good.

It's I mean, obviously it's good, but is it readable.

It's it's a dry read.

If you love those classics stories.

It's not like Pride and Prejudice in that it's like this unrequited love and this long, you know, feeling of love and blah blah blah.

It's just a little drier than that.

Ellie Bronte is a little drier of a writer.

It's still a great story.

It's classic, you know, Heathcliff and you know, on the Moors of England, and it's, you know, a beautiful story, but.

It's not Jane Austen Beatrade type.

Not Jane Austen.

I would not say.

But they have definitely added some sexy to this movie.

I mean, you've got Margot Robbie and Jacob Lordie, two of the most attractive actors and movie stars working right now, and they definitely amp up like a sexual vibe between these two characters.

The full review is not allowed actually until Friday next Friday, right because it's going to be released then.

But everybody else is saying, basically, hotzi tatsi.

Hotsi TATSI and they're not.

I mean, we're not allowed to say because it's you know, under like an embargo until then.

But I the initial reviews are coming out and people are saying, it's a very sexy movie, it's very entertaining.

It's not going to be your the classic Emily Bronte Weathering Heights story that you may be familiar with.

A Dracula movie's coming out.

Yeah, I don't say it like that.

You don't have to be excitedulous.

Doesn't it seem like one?

Okay, who's your favorite Dracula?

By the way, there's been so many Dracula iteration Eddie Murphy okay, all right, not Nicholas Cage Okay.

I don't know if I've seen any of those.

Bela Lugosi the original.

So they're making another Dracula.

This is from Luke Besson, very famous director.

Here stars Caleb Landry Jones as the Dracula, and this is very closely related to the original Bram Stokers version of Dracula.

In that mina, the girl that Dracula is targeting in Stoker's original story is the reincarnation of his love when he was a human.

It has a comedic elements to it, so, but it's not I wouldn't say funny.

It's still very dark, still a vampire story.

But Dracula is out for revenge because his love was killed and then she's reincarnated and he vows to get her back.

So typical dragon.

But I gotta tell you the the I have always loved the Muppet Show.

I thought it was when I realized that those were actual puppets and not creatures.

It made me go down the rabbit hole of how do they do that?

In a lot of cases?

Do you watch Fraggle Rock?

Ever?

I love.

Play that song.

You guys, my nickname was Red in high school, and Monks still calls me Red.

He calls me big Red because he doesn't like fat people.

But what but we're going to kill him in the hole.

Wow.

But I loved Red, like that was my like girl.

I loved Fragle.

I just wanted to be in that cave at that.

Party and like the dozers.

Like love that story.

But yes, the Muppet Show is back.

The first episode stars Sabrina Carpenter.

Oh my god, bring.

God, Frankett, Oh my god, this is a.

Hell Yeah, yes, yeah, there's away Flora day let the music play.

Are so cute.

I love them.

Oh so.

Seth Rogan, not a giant fan, love the fact that he read breathed life back into this thing.

And I love that he went to the nineteen seventies and took that sensibilities as inspirations.

Yes, yeah, he definitely did so.

I saw the first episode, which is on you know, Hulu and Disney right now, and it's Sabrina Carpenter is a big one of the big stars, you know.

They're famously would bring in like big stars of the day, you know, And they brought a Sabrina Carpenter, I think, to try to appeal to the younger audience and bring in some of her fans.

But it's got that classic, familiar comfort feeling that the only the Muppets can bring.

And honestly, it is nice to see it back on the screen because it is such an iconic part of all of our childhood.

The weird part about it, and this is something I'll get over.

I think when I watch a couple episodes of it, the voices are slightly different, slightly different, and that.

That's jarring to me.

Yeah.

But but like we said, when the Leanne Morgan sitcom came out on Netflix.

There was something that was just familiar about the pace, the way the shots were done, that Chuck Lori esque kind of feel of a sitcom was comforting.

And I think there's gonna be a lot of that when it comes because I remember I remember sitting on the floor at Grandma's house and the bright red rug watching a TV that was the size of my car, and watching The Muppet Show and just being.

Like, how do they do that?

Where are they?

Where do they live?

Where do they go?

Absolutely, it certainly was one of a show that sparked so many imaginations about this world and about these friends and the adventures that they went on together.

And I think this show is going to do the same.

There's also so.

Few shows that you can watch with your kids that's not like kind of silly, dumbed down animation, and you can watch like a generational type of show.

You know.

The other thing is, and I don't know if you knew this, Statler and Waldorf, the two grumpy guys that were up in the balcony, that was the original that was the original inspiration for the John and Ken show.

You're better than that joke You're much better than that.

You're better than that.

VEST.

I like this, Vest.

Honestly, you look really hot.

Thank you?

Really hot today.

I saw you in the hall and Michael Monks and I were like no, we were like yes, brilliant.

I mean like, wow, she's gonna put you.

I can't.

This is just the fair that I that I love.

I love it.

We're like, yes, thank you.

We got a.

We got a tweet from Carl saying the only question is how many segments of the show will this consume?

This?

This was the it is in the nuggets, which is why I was going to say it's going to consume at least one h The reports of surface that ski jumpers at the Olympics are injecting their penises with hydraulic axe acid hyaluronic as hyluronic.

Acid to fly farther.

It's basically, if they inject their penis, they it grows and they get a bigger suit, and they science has shown the bigger the suit, the farther they fly.

Stop it right now.

Yeah, And it was actually the first news item my husband brought to me in the kitchen today.

He said, you guys are going to love this.

What Is it about men injecting their penises that that that tells the viewer, the reader that we're gonna love it on this show.

I have no idea.

I mean.

Sorry, Lauraday.

Let the music play.

Thank you, Heather.

Rock Oh I love him.
