WEEKKEND FIX REWIND: THE PROVERBIAL FART IN BED Sep 26, 2026

Show notes

Gary and Shannon rewind to one of our most in-demand social clips (back with FRESH CONTENT next week!) - They dive into the surprising trend of high school sweethearts reconnecting decades later, and why the fantasy often doesn't match reality. They explore how social media has erased the mystery of the past, why we tend to assume our classmates had life all figured out, and what really happens after those long-awaited reunions.

Plus, they discuss whether we're actually all that different from the people we were growing up, or if adulthood just makes us better at hiding it.

Plus, Shannon wonders how much of our lives our devices are already recording as Meta pushes further into AI glasses, and POLITICO’s Tyler Katzenberger joins to explain why Americans across the political spectrum increasingly want AI development slowed down.
