The U.S. government finally reopens after the longest shutdown in history — but at what cost? The CDC reports that over 42% of Americans over 20 are now obese, and a new study reveals how antidepressants are taking a serious toll on the younger generation’s sex lives.

The U.S. government finally reopens after the longest shutdown in history &mdash; but at what cost? The CDC reports that over 42% of Americans over 20 are now obese, and a new study reveals how antidepressants are taking a serious toll on the younger generation&rsquo;s sex lives.

Shannon opens the show with guest host KTLA’s Andy Riesmeyer, jumping from Owl City to Chargers frustration after a scoreless performance. Andy talks about settling into his Sunday show on KFI before Michael Monks checks in with updates on Greenland and what the White House’s rhetoric could mean.

The hour continues with KFI’s Amy King, whose interest in a former Space Force general leads into a discussion about NASA’s early return of astronauts due to an undisclosed medical issue.

They wrap with Terror in the Skies, reacting to a shocking Air Canada incident involving a ground crew member trapped in a cargo hold and Shannon’s reflections on flying with the Chargers as a team reporter.

With Gary away at MLB Fantasy Camp, Shannon and Andy open the hour talking adult camps that let men relive childhood dreams, how those experiences build instant community, and why making friends as an adult is harder than it looks.

The hour continues with Bobby Livingston of RR Auction, who joins the show to talk about rare Steve Jobs and Apple memorabilia heading to auction.

They wrap on a lighter note with an unexpectedly revealing conversation about sleep habits, including who sleeps naked and why the talkbacks took the discussion further than anyone anticipated.

Shannon and Andy open the hour with #SwampWatch, first reacting to reports of a Verizon outage and concerns about whether a wider telecom disruption could be coming, before shifting into the day’s biggest political headlines.
The hour then turns to #Parenting as Justin Worsham joins the show, rainbow hair and all, to talk about scaling back school commitments, finding space for creativity in a world of constant stimulation, and how living in an age of instant gratification can create its own kind of manufactured anxiety.
