HOUR 1 (08/24) - Gary & Shannon open with 49ers owner Jed York’s prostitution arrest before Gary reveals the Newhall restaurant where he ate dinner last night was destroyed by fire just hours later. Then they track the Hawk Fire near Reno, hear Gary’s nightmare story about his niece arriving at Cal State Long Beach only to learn her dorm wasn’t ready, and break down the latest testimony in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial, including questions surrounding postpartum psychosis and a psychiatrist whose answers appeared to frustrate both the judge and jury.

HOUR 2 (08/24) - Gary & Shannon dig into dueling polls in the California governor’s race and whether polling itself can influence voters, before returning to 49ers owner Jed York’s prostitution arrest and Shannon’s very simple lesson: pay your hookers.
Then they break down Los Angeles’ taxpayer-matching system for mayoral campaign donations and Karen Bass’ use of it, before wrapping with News & Brews, John Kobylt weighing in (via text) and the promise of electric air taxis that could someday turn a trip to downtown LA into a 10-minute flight.
