HOUR 1 (09/12) - Gary & Shannon take on app creep and the feeling that seemingly everything now requires a login, portal or download just to function. They weigh the convenience of fitness and healthcare apps against tech fatigue, failed websites and the risk of becoming too dependent on our phones. Then, as CDs make a nostalgic comeback, they look at why physical media suddenly feels appealing again. Plus, a Virginia mother’s arrest after allowing her five-year-old to walk to a nearby pond sparks a bigger conversation about childhood independence, overprotective parenting and how much freedom kids should really have.

HOUR 2 (09/12) - Gary & Shannon take on the increasingly awkward world of digital ordering kiosks, disappearing human interaction and a memorable McDonald’s stop in Santa Barbara. Then it’s a fresh batch of bizarre news nuggets, including a naked man arrested inside HomeGoods and a nurse disciplined over a truly unfortunate gauze incident. Plus, they get into the latest Elizabeth Holmes documentary and revisit the spectacular rise and collapse of Theranos.

HOUR 1 (09/11) - Gary & Shannon thank the listeners who came out for our News & Brews in Rancho Cucamonga, recap the 49ers’ 27–7 win over the Rams in Australia and wonder whether travel prep made the difference. Then, 25 years after 9/11, they remember where they were, what the world felt like before the attacks and how that day instantly turned everyone into a reporter.
They also discuss the victims forced from the towers and how those deaths are counted, before ending with Aaron Rodgers airing out some ex-girlfriend grievances.
