The Elf Names & Holiday Pop-Ups 

By Gary and Shannon

December 10, 2025

Gary & Shannon launch the show by unveiling their brand-new Elf on a Shelf dolls lovingly glue-gunned into existence by Gary’s wife. They rally the audience to help name the elves using the Talkback feature on the iHeart app (and following us on IG @GaryandShannon), trading stories about glue-gun mishaps and teasing Tim Conway Jr.’s appearance later today at the grand opening of Cadillac Pasadena.

Then the pair dive into Trump’s fiery speech in Pennsylvania and shift into holiday mode with Amy King’s review of the Enchant pop-up at Santa Anita Park — complete with ice rink, lights, and all the festive trimmings. Follow along on Instagram @GaryandShannon to submit your elf names!Listeners’ holiday mail hits the air next, including a magnetic Santa butterfly and an unsolicited knee-replacement x-ray. Amy explains her rules for choosing a properly “spicy” elf name before Gary & Shannon close the hour with the wild story of a Royal Caribbean passenger who died after reportedly downing 33 drinks — and whether the cruise line should really be blamed.
