Gary And Shannon

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.
