Gary & Shannon open with the latest developments in the case involving Savannah Guthrie’s missing mother, Nancy, as conflicting reports and a lack of clear information raise new questions. Shannon speculates whether the alleged ransom note was sent to TMZ for publicity and what the references to medication could really mean. The hour also includes a lighter tease of a “fun time” announcement coming to Instagram, a remarkable story about an 82-year-old breaking ultramarathon records, and a discussion about pressure mounting on the LA 28 Olympics chair amid Epstein-related scrutiny. They close with a harrowing story of a mother forced to make an impossible decision after being swept out to sea with her children.
