GAS Weekend Fix: Shannon Bought a Sheep for an Afghani Family

Gary & Shannon dive into a wild Weekend Fix that starts with one innocent act of holiday giving… and ends with Shannon getting in hot water for buying a sheep for an Afghani family through a Giving Machine. She explains how a charity founded by Mormon donors, a livestock donation, and a Middle Eastern destination all collided into the most chaotic good deed imaginable.

From there, the conversation opens up: PastaThon officially kicked off the season of generosity, the “women’s Viagra” article somehow landed in the show ideas pile, and Shannon shares the story of meeting her biological sister at 39 (perhaps more to come on this story). 

Then the duo breaks down why December triggers big emotions, the rise of “money dysmorphia,” and how you can always tell when someone grew up poor… because no matter how much they earn now, they never stop saving.

A chaotic, heartfelt, deeply human Weekend Fix.
