Gary and Shannon

Gary breaks down the explosive tech trial being compared to Big Tobacco, questioning whether social media regulation is finally coming, the role of Section 230, and why even tech leaders like Peter Thiel and Steve Jobs kept screens out of their own homes. The conversation turns to global crackdowns, including moves overseas and Gavin Newsom floating restrictions on social media for kids under 16.The hour continues with breaking updates on the Secret Service shooting at Mar-a-Lago, with reporting from The Hill’s Ashleigh Fields, followed by Gary’s reaction to lawmakers skipping the State of the Union. Gary also covers a brutal Northeast winter storm and questions New York City’s snow response before wrapping with a Terror in the Skies segment after hundreds of passengers were stranded overnight on planes at Munich Airport.

Gary & Shannon finally say the quiet part out loud. On this Weekend Fix, they spill the behind-the-scenes drama that no longer fits on the weekday show—office politics, deserted floors, and how the once-electric KFI 4th floor became the building’s forgotten dungeon. They react to Tim Conway Jr.’s eerie video shot near the old offices, debate why everyone now sneaks downstairs for bathroom anonymity, and declare their floor the unofficial “poop floor” of the building.
Shannon suggests exposing the secret first-floor bathroom. Gary floats making a public bathroom protest upstairs. Someone says he’s starting to look like John & Ken. Signs are proposed. Lines are crossed. And the episode ends with Gary asking Shannon if she feels anything funny in her breasts—because apparently that’s where this conversation was always headed.

Gary & Shannon kick off the show reflecting on their first week with Monks & Merrill and reminiscing about covering the O.J. chase, before imagining what a modern-day celebrity chase might look like now. That spirals into high school crushes and a new Wired-featured search tool that lets users find OnlyFans creators who resemble people they are attracted to. The hour also includes a Supreme Court ruling against President Trump on tariffs, a spirited push for listeners to apply to Gary & Shannon’s 10-year anniversary party, a breakdown of the Walmart vs. Amazon retail battle, new questions surrounding Prince Andrew and the Epstein files, and the latest developments and missteps in the Nancy Guthrie case. The hour ends with Shannon’s warning about “the paradoxes of seeking out filth.”

Gary & Shannon open Hour 2 with baseball Spring Training and Gary’s frustration over the growing wave of jersey advertising before shifting into the latest updates from the tech trial. They break down testimony pointing to signs that social media platforms knew their products were addictive, particularly for children and teens. The conversation pivots live to President Trump reacting to the Supreme Court’s tariff ruling from the White House, calling Democratic justices “automatic no” votes and raising questions about what comes next and whether tariffs could be applied retroactively. The hour wraps with #EntertainmentReport with Heather Brooker, covering Glen Powell’s new movie How To Make a Killing, the realities of stand up comedy portrayed in Is This Thing On, I Can Only Imagine 2, and Heather’s personal reflections on working with Eric Dane during her time connected to Grey’s Anatomy.

Gary & Shannon kick off the big 11 o’clock hour with listener #WhatILearned talkbacks before diving into #WhatsHappening.  The hour continues with SwampWatch, including President Trump announcing a new 10 percent global tariff under a different statute and the surprisingly muted reaction from Wall Street. Producer Matt’s musical choice sets the tone, followed by listener feedback, Mark Rahner’s perspective, and a full round of Nine News Nuggets You Need To Know. Stories include a vandalized Buffalo Bills stadium, eating crocodile for Lent, a teacher caught doing cocaine at an elementary school, emus running amok, a filter fail that cost an influencer 140,000 followers, a naked ambulance theft, and a shocking insurance dispute involving a deceased family member brought into a bank.

Shannon kicks off the show with the news that Prince Andrew was arrested on his 66th birthday and the Queen joins exclusively from heaven to share her thoughts.

The US is sending the most airpower to the region since the 2003 Iraq invasion as tensions with Iran escalate. Zuckerberg takes the heat from grieving parents in the ongoing tech trial.

Gary & Shannon break down how Mark Zuckerberg’s testimony landed in the courtroom as the Big Tech trial zeroes in on whether social media companies knowingly hooked kids early for long-term profit. They also dig into the backlash over Reese’s allegedly using cheaper ingredients—and Gary revisits the now-outdated “contract” he gave his kids when they got their first phones. Plus, a surprising California poll puts Republican Steve Hilton at the top of the field, while Shannon says the money still points to Eric Swalwell. The hour wraps with new details emerging in a deadly avalanche tragedy.

Gary & Shannon kick off a newly adjusted #WhatsHappening with the day’s biggest stories, including rising artillery activity involving Iran, continued courtroom fallout from Mark Zuckerberg’s social media trial, and debate over whether the Olympic “quadgod” actually choked—or faced the same kind of pressure moment athletes like Simone Biles have endured.
Then it’s #SWAMPWATCH, covering the push to trademark Donald Trump’s name for a potential Palm Beach airport rename and escalating geopolitical tensions. The hour introduces new KFI news anchor Mark Rahner, whose sharp snark, dislike of sports analogies, fear of earthquakes, and insistence that he “has feelings” quickly make him a memorable addition to the show.
