This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to kf
I AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
A friend of the show just left us a message
with Gary Shannon good time at This is really the contractor.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Oh yeah, I'm here with my boys work.
Speaker 4 (00:22):
I know you guys aen sol too good on Monday,
So I just want to say thanks.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Now everybody wants to go.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
Next time you guys have another show.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Good times.
Speaker 5 (00:31):
Thanks again.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
See that's real work being done.
Speaker 6 (00:34):
Do you think that's someone actually just do you think
that's actually someone doing work or someone just banging a
hammer on a two by four to make it sound
like Do.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
You think that Ray would employ us to be on
his crew if we got the axe?
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Uh, what's your favorite hammer to swing?
Speaker 7 (00:50):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (00:50):
A needle? Nos? Hammer?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
I would say, no, Then.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Is that not a thing.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
That's not a thing.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Oh, well, name a hammer.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
I would use a sixteen ounce framing hammer.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Oh okay, show off?
Speaker 2 (01:08):
What what with the axe handle on the bottom?
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Okay, I would use the needlenose one. Right, you can
do whatever you want, I guess.
Speaker 6 (01:19):
Firefighters finally mopping up after that fire that broke out
in their homes in the hillsides of Pacific Palisades today,
fourteen hundred North Palisades Drive. They said it's only about
five acres. Was about as large as it got. It
actually was close to I think it's called the Santa
Nez Reservoir that's up in that area. So again, the
(01:42):
good news is there was not a lot of wind
this morning in that area, so that but you could
still see pretty heavy cloud of smoke rise from that area.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
I changed my name about my mind about the hammer,
I would choose the ballpeen hammer.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
That is a hammer. Got you do you look up
types of hammer.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Maybe it's Tiper's swamp watch, Elmer, it's Stiverer's swamp watch.
Speaker 8 (02:15):
You took him by surprise. I know that's all right,
shocking there Airy comes ready, Yeah, better do something before
I play.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
This is horrible government.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Make us like a reality TV shoot.
Speaker 7 (02:34):
Bad.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Always a pleasure to be anywhere from Washington, d C. Hey, Joe.
Speaker 8 (02:40):
A town hall too clearly built on a swamp and
in so many ways still a swamp watch.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Make what he said, drained the swamp? I said, oh,
that's so, you know the.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Thing old Biden and Trump met face to face today
in the Oval Office.
Speaker 6 (02:57):
It sounded like this for only a short thirty eight seconds.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
MS.
Speaker 9 (03:01):
President elect in the former president, thank you, found congratulation,
Thank you, and I'm looking forward to having, like I said,
smooth transition to whatever. We can make sure you're accommodated
what you need, and we're gonna get a chance to
talk about some out today. It's a good welcome. Well Jay,
thank you very much. And politics is tough, and it's
(03:26):
many cases not a very nice world, but it is
a nice world today and I appreciate very much.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Nice world to transition that's so smooth. It'll be as
smooth as you can get. And I very much appreciate
that you you all.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Biden, by the way, is going to hold talks on
Saturday with Shijin Ping in Peru. Of course, there's an
international summit there, the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit. Who's
okaying this travel for Biden to go to Peru? It
(04:01):
seems I would not okay that if he was one
of my relatives.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Would you okay it?
Speaker 6 (04:07):
If he was traveling with multiple doctors and on the
air force?
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Probably?
Speaker 1 (04:11):
I mean, it's an interesting backdrop, though, isn't it Biden
meeting with Shi Jin Ping when Trump has spent the
week appointing anti China people to take their place in
his cabinet, whether it be Mark Rubio or.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
The Deaf sec sect Deaf sec deaf interesting.
Speaker 6 (04:35):
Yeah, this, uh, the fleshing out of of what we're
seeing in terms of this cabinet has been uh uh
interesting also in that the Marco Rubio thing has not
been confirmed, and there's an interesting aspect of that that
comes with Ron de Santis's name, because what have happens
(05:00):
If Marco Rubio is named as Secretary of State, he
loses his or you know, resigns his position in the
Senate representing the great State of Florida.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Well, the.
Speaker 6 (05:16):
This governor of Florida would then get to basically just
name somebody to be his replacement, which gives Ron de
Santis a lot of power in terms of picking a young,
up and coming politician perhaps that they would want to
elevate to.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
The national stage.
Speaker 6 (05:33):
But what if Donald Trump pulls a fast one and
disappoints both of those guys and does not have Marco
Rubio as his secretary of State, decides to go somewhere else,
maybe like a Tulsi Gabbard to be Secretary of State
and then Ron De Santis is left holding this prize
pig and Marco Rubio has to go back to the Senate.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Has there been any talk about Ron De Santis. I
don't think that.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
No, But and that was kind of one of that
was a question I thought of, was he is he
in the same is he in the same lot as
Nicki Haley and Mike Pompeo because he ran again? I
think so Donald Trump plus you, if you're Donald Trump,
I think you could still say to Ron DeSantis, you're
(06:21):
doing a great job in Florida and I need you
there or I want to keep you there or whatever,
I mean, whatever term you want to use.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
But they could still be they could still be the allies.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Well, DeSantis would get to appoint somebody to Rubio's seat.
Speaker 6 (06:36):
Right, Yeah, which gives him a specific amount of power.
But if to be a point himself, yeah, I don't
know why not, and.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Only there's anything that would preclude him from doing that.
Speaker 6 (06:50):
I don't know if he'd want that job. I mean,
I don't know what in his mind, what would be
the higher profile job as being a senator or the
governor of the state of Florida.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Well, he's out after his term, sure, but then he's
giving that Senate seat forever.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
For six well for six years.
Speaker 6 (07:09):
I don't know how much time Marco Ruby has left
on that on his term.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
But he wouldn't be voted out, right, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (07:19):
John Thune has been elected as the Senate Majority Leader.
He is going to succeed Mitch McConnell. Thune has served
as Senate Republican Whip, which is the number two in
the Senate Republican Leadership, since twenty nineteen, largely managed operation
of the Senate floor since McConnell suffered a concussion from
a fall in twenty twenty three. And remember, Mitch McConnell
(07:41):
was the guy whose batteries would die all of the
sudden in the mid middle of a speech, and his
hard drive was rebooting in front of everybody, which was
uncomfortable to watch. But John Thune beat out John Cornyn
of Texas by a vote of twenty five to twenty four.
Foon led after the first ballot. Rick Scott was the
(08:02):
only one who was also in there, but he was
voted out after that first round.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Of voting.
Speaker 6 (08:07):
His name was taken off than they voted between Fune
and Corn and to take over more swamp watch stuff
when we come back.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Yeah, Press Secretary. Could it be Megan Kelly?
Speaker 2 (08:20):
She would not take the pay cut.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Where is she now?
Speaker 6 (08:24):

Speaker 2 (08:47):
Ted Olsen has died.
Speaker 6 (08:49):
Longtime lawyer Solicitor General for the United States.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
He argued, Yeah, he argued for George W.
Speaker 6 (08:56):
Bush in the Supreme Court case around the two thousand
election Bush v.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Gore.
Speaker 6 (09:02):
Then became Solicitor General by nominated for Solicitor General by
President Bush. And then he joined with President Clinton's former
attorney David Boyce when they brought a federal lawsuit Perry
versus Schwarzenegger the challenged prop eight. His work on that
lawsuit earned him a place among Time one hundred's greatest thinkers.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Very smart man.

Speaker 6 (10:33):
One of the things that former President Trump did today
before he met up with President Biden at the White
House was he met with House Republicans and celebrated what
appears to be the House Republican majority, which will take
effect in the next session of Congress. He said, I
won I suspect I won't be running again unless you
(10:55):
do something.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
See, I told you you wanted to be a dick.
It was a joke.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Everybody joked, and he said, it's a joke.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
Uh, it's He went on to say, unless you say
he's so good, we have to just figure it out.
Tim Burchett, Republican out of Tennessee, was asked for comment
by The Hill and had to actually roll his eyes
and say that was a joke.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
It was clearly a joke, I said.
Speaker 6 (11:24):
I even leaned over to somebody beside me and said,
that'll be the headline tomorrow. Trump trying to thwart the
Constitution and there's nothing for nothing further from the.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Truth, Trump says, Elon Musk and the veck. Ramaswami, am
I putting in an extra Okay, Ramaswamie, I added a
little something extra for him. Ramaswami, which sounds like a
delicious dish Ramashwarma.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Yeah, while you're trying to say it like.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
That, I don't know, Okay, Vivek Ramaswami. They will lead
a new Department of Government Efficiency. Despite the title, the
new organization will not be a government agency. It's going
to be an outside group. It's going to offer the
White House advice on how to drive large scale structural reform,
create a new approach to government. They want to shock
(12:14):
government systems. The acronym, of course, is doge, which is
a nod to Elon Musk's favorite cryptocurrency, the doge coin,
which happens to be surging in value since Trump won
the election. Elon Musk has said, We're going to be
super transparent about it. If you know a department that
needs to be cut into, or you think that something
needs to be saved, let us know. Everything will be publicized.
(12:38):
We are going to publicize how much money your tax
dollars there are, which programs your tax dollers are going
to He said, this is going to be tragic and
entertaining at the same time.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Absolutely.
Speaker 6 (12:53):
The other big news in terms of appointments potential appointments,
is that pricing elect Trump picked a conservative commentator, TV
host author to be the new Secretary of Defense National
Security Officials. Defense analysts knew that we were going to
see some surprises based on what we saw out of
(13:14):
the first four years from Donald Trump. But even on that,
they said the announcement of Pete Hegseth caught them completely
off guard. Not because he doesn't have military experience, he
has plenty. He's decorated Army veteran, deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan,
among others. But they said that basically this is proof
(13:35):
that he Trump values loyalty more than anything. Basically one
of them, Eric Edelman, served as a top policy official
during the Bush administration. Sent it appears one of the
main criteria that's being used is how well do people
defend Donald Trump on television? Not a giant surprise in
(13:57):
that that's what we've seen from the other appointments that
he's made is those people that are specifically loyal to
Trump are the ones who are being rewarded with these
very high profile, very high profile positions. The selection did
draw backlash from some veterans group leaders who opposed Pete
(14:18):
hag Seth when he was floated for a VA secretary
during Trump's first term. Former executive director of Vets for
Freedom and the former CEO of Concern Vets for America,
a group that advocates for outso outsourcing of healthcare for
veterans that was funded by the Koch Brothers. At least
one person Independent Veterans of America said he's undoubtedly the
(14:40):
least qualified nominee for SECTEF in American history and the
most overtly political. I played for you earlier today part
of an interview that Hegseth gave regarding his concerns about
the threat that is China. That specifically China has been practicing,
prepared ring planning for a very long term slow evolution
(15:09):
where China becomes the master superpower in the world, and
to do that they have specifically built their military to
take out the American military.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Gavin Newsome, they say, rallied Democratic members of California's delegation
as they stealed themselves for a Trump presidency. It was
a closed door lunch meeting over sandwiches today at a
Capitol office building. Knew some telling reporters that he and
other lawmakers talked about getting on the same page ahead
(15:40):
of the special legislative session They're working to prepare their
legal defenses for Trump's return to the White House, he said.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
He said, we talked.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
About the one hundred and twenty two lawsuits we were
involved in in the Trump administration. We talked about how
we're going to move aggressively to be proactive, not re
active to the incoming administration.
Speaker 6 (16:04):
And then finally, what is Kamala Harris going to do
after she is no longer Vice President of the United States.
A poll from UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies co
sponsored by The La Times found that if Kamala Harris
wanted to get into the race for governor in twenty
twenty six, nearly half of voters would be either very
(16:24):
or somewhat likely to support her, which blows all of
the current candidates out of the water, partly because she
has name recognition and they don't for the most part.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
So that's the only reason right now. Yeah, all right.
Coming up next, Justin Worsham will join us host of
The Dad Podcast. We'll be talking about parental burnout and
just parenting challenges. I think every parent at one point
thinks that they've screwed up, because how can you not
(16:56):
screw up once or twice or five hundred times.
Speaker 6 (16:58):
If I went on the view and Sonny Houston asked me,
is there anything that you would have done differently? I
would have a laundry list of things that I could
have done differently.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
With differently than Biden did well with the kids, specifically Gary. Okay,
we'll do that later.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
A M six forty.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 6 (17:25):
That's the lyric, right, I don't know if that's the word.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
You just sound so serious about that. I don't know
if that's the word. Like it was a very serious question.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Topic could be. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
It's God, it's catchy, isn't it justin you want to
hear the story?
Speaker 2 (17:49):
I do.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Okay, So you know how Spotify has.
Speaker 6 (17:53):
Doesn't I don't think we were relive this, but we're
going to relive it right from the one.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
So Spotify is an algorithm where it'll suggest songs to you. Oh,
I'll like discover weekly as a little playlist but together
based on songs that you like. And so I clicked
on that today and this was the first song. It's
a nice country song, and I was like, this is good,
and then all of a sudden it took.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
A left turn. Yeah, so here was the beginning. Oh yeah,
because I want him to go on the journey I
went on.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
While you look for that, I've also recently stumbled into
Spotify because of my children.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
This is what my life has become. I'm now getting
reminded of that.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
I'm getting older because my children tell me about these things.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
I know about Spotty, don't make a.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Face, Shannon. I knew what Spotify was.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
It just wasn't the thing I would go do because
I had Apple Music. And then he said, oh, Spotify
so much better, much better. And then I tried it
and he was right.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
That's all. That's all I'm saying. I don't know. I'm
forty five. I don't need to go out and try
new things, do I.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Well, you're a lot older than I am. So this
is the way the song started.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
I really wanted to be like six months. It sounds
like a delight. It's a great drive in and a
country music.
Speaker 10 (19:08):
There's something about the way you look in my oh
yeah yeah love song starring that you lot of Mosca,
great line you leaning closer and my heart starts the
down heard it?
Speaker 2 (19:23):
You know?
Speaker 4 (19:24):
I love that sound, yeah checks.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
I love the way he rare yeah, the use of
the word pound.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
But maybe it's because I knew what was coming is
what For whatever reason that that tripped something in my
head that was like wait what yeah, yeah right there her.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
You know, I love that sound, my booty chacks. I
love the way he rare.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
And I was like, what what did I just hear?
Speaker 4 (19:55):
You heard the new era of country music where it's
now uh fully accepting and and you know, there's no
I'm not saying this to be sarcastic, but I think
it's it's gotta be some kind of a representation thing
of like, no, no, you think it's a commercial ploy
just a yes, okay, I mean based on what this
the other songs that the guy has done, and the
(20:15):
other weirds in Dallas is right, Dixon, Dallas.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
It's not the guy that wears the mask.
Speaker 6 (20:20):
No oh, this guy's just a just a guy, cowboy,
white T shirt, cowboy hat, guitar, blue jeans, boots.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
I like it least.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
If he's like if he's like trying to like tongue
in cheek, poking fun of like I think I don't
know why that bothers my southern California.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Self wildly popular. Good for him.
Speaker 6 (20:38):
And the thing is, then he's also done rap songs
under different utists.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
It's great.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
I would love to do a line dance to a
a gay friendly country song.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
I would do that.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Wait, here's the thing. I just think it's more said.
He has not said he is gay.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
He has said that he could be gay, straight or by,
and that it doesn't matter. You say, Dixon Dallas is
the gay country music alter ego of singer Jake Hill.
Speaker 6 (21:07):
Yeah, he's Chris Gaines in this thing, Jake Hill. But
Chris Gaines never made it out of that first album.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
That's true. Well, maybe Chris Gaines paved the way. That's true.
Speaker 6 (21:18):
Dixon Dallas is his name, Dixon, Dixon, Dallas, Dixon.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Dallas. Got it? You still want to talk about parents.
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
It's flossy flossy by the way, but it sounds like flouncy, flouncy.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
But it's flossy.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
I don't know. I was, That's what I always thought
that was.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
You know how you have these songs that you sing
in your head, and I was singing flouncy, flouncy, but
it turns out, oh the flossy flossy.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
You sing glamorous in your head.
Speaker 6 (21:43):
Just random, Okay, Now I'm gonna sing this song I'm
gonna go get Dixon. Do you do you do you
sing this like with the towel around your waist, like
after the shower.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Oh, it's underneath my shoulders. I'm a gentleman. I'm not
you know, I don't need these nips swinging around.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Nobody wants Nobody wants to thank you.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Positive house.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
No, we got it in trouble.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
I'm out of control. Welcome to the party.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
That doesn't mean you run into the wall for.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Or genital talk at the nine o'clock.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
People will keep their head low.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Let me figure out how to do that. Well, somebody
teaches me to do that.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
I don't think it could be done based on my
experience right now.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
And maybe that's part of your charm. Maybe that's your survival.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
We would call it charm.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
I would. It's the word I use. Very sweet.
Speaker 6 (22:38):
New surveys at the Ohio State University provides some insight
into parental burnout and why it happens.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Parents parents feel burned out.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
Yeah, and it's it's so it's it is annoyed. Like
as much as I can understand it, it's just annoying.
It's like it's like saying my head hurts. Because I
hit it against the wall, not because I ran into
a wall accidentally. But I'm banging my head against a
wall and now my head hurts.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
That's what this is.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
If you're so purnt out, stop making your kids do
crap or feel like that's the most important thing in
their life. Guess what, just because your kid goes to
a fancy college doesn't mean they're going to be happy.
They could still be divorced. They could still be miserable
and burnt out from their own children. Never get a
great job, never get a great job. None of this
really matters. Which is this is what I like when
(23:26):
I see these kinds of articles, because it makes me
feel like the bar is significantly lowered for parents and
we should all just embrace it.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
And I know I'm kidding a lot, but in a way,
I'm serious.
Speaker 6 (23:35):
The signs of parents will burnout, getting easily irritated with
your kids. Yes, waking up exhausted at the thought of
another day. This sounds like it's also the.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Sense of a radio.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
I was just gonna say, this sounds like Gary every day.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
His kids are at least out of the house.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
So is that accurate?
Speaker 2 (23:56):
A smile?
Speaker 3 (24:00):
It's not making eye clear.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
Parents more likely to experience burnout when they didn't feel
like a good parent, felt judged by others, lack time
to play with their children, had low quality relationship with
their spouse, and felt pressure to have a clean house.
So really, this is to me what I read in this,
and I hope I'm not roar shacking it and seeing
what I want to see. But it really means that
(24:23):
everybody should just lighten up and kind of go back
to the way things used to be, where you weren't
so hyper focused.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
On your kid.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
Maybe maybe consider being focused on your partner in life
and then have your kids be an ancillary result of
that focus and the family dynamic be a priority and
not about getting your kid to learn Mandarin and play
a violin and also be an exceller in lacrosse.
Speaker 6 (24:46):
And weird example of this is in that TV show
Disclaimer that's on Apple TV right now. So the young
the teenager I guess he's a teenager dies and the
drowning our drowning rescue right, and the and father of
this younger guy both are suffering awful loss because they've
they've lost their son. But she closes off so completely
(25:11):
then like goes to live in his room and stuff
and leaves the dad there to kind of deal with
his own grief, et cetera. My wife said something last
night as we're watching this scene play out.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
She said, I want to move into another room too.
Speaker 6 (25:23):
She said, I would never leave you in that moment
because of my own grief, knowing that you know, I
signed up to take care of her and she signed
up to take care of me in those darkest moments,
that that would be the focus. And in that storyline,
there's no other kids to take care of necessarily, and
they're older, and you know, they're middle aged by the
(25:44):
time this happens.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
When you finished the show, you'll have insight into that.
Speaker 6 (25:50):
I oh, but it, but it proves that, I mean,
you can't forego that primary relationship. The most underrated paragraph
or chapters, I should say, in parenting books is the
Almost every book that I've read on parenting spends some
kind of time saying you need to pay attention to
your spouse, to your partner in this And I think
(26:12):
it's so much as like, what about the kid? But
what about the kid?
Speaker 4 (26:16):
And all of the experts that I've ever talked about
say that if you can build a strong relationship with
your spouse and you can focus on that, the trickle
down effect is your kids feel safe and secure because
mom and dad are locked in. And it also helps
if you as a disciplinary thing, if you are a
united front. Weirdly enough, the kids don't feel attacked and outnumbered.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
They feel comfortable.
Speaker 6 (26:36):
They feel safe that way, right, they know there's no
soft spot that they're gonna wiggle through at that right.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
And it's all this stuff that is coming out in
a survey. It's not really scientific. It's more just anecdotal
experiences these parents. But parents who are burnt out are
also likely to have kids that have mental health issues.
These things that we're doing that we're the intention is
to help our kids, is actually making our life and
their life worse.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Maybe we just try to be more like baseball players.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
I like it.
Speaker 6 (27:02):
You're never going to hit, You're never going to bat
a thousand. Hey, shoot for like three point fifty. You're
winning the league. I mean, you're going to get that
batting time.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
There was a book I read called in Our Mediocrity.
Speaker 4 (27:14):
Yes, Parenting from the inside out actually says that it
talks it reference as a high road low road. So
a low road moment is when you as a parent
lose your temper, lose control, and you have to go
back and correct. The data says that really you only
have to get it right one third of the time
to be effective as a parent. So you're spot on
with your baseball analogy. If you're one third a little
over one third at the time, you're an all star.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Boy or just step into the pitch.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
What she's going to break that down in the break?
I think, tell me understand.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
I don't understand how you made your waist base yellow jackets.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
It was the hornets whatever.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI AM.
Six forty.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Republicans have elected South Dakota Senate John Thune as the
next Senate majority leader, completing a big shift in their leadership.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Elevates a top deputy of Mitch McConnell into Mitch McConnell's place.
Speaker 6 (28:11):
Mentioned that there is a disturbance in the Caribbean that
could become a tropical depression in the coming days. National
Hurricane Center gives it about an eighty percent chance of
developing over the next seven days if it reaches tropical
storm strength. They're going to name it tropical Storm Sarah.
While that's going on, there four storms right now churning
(28:33):
simultaneously in the North Pacific Ocean in the South China Sea,
the first time on record that there have been four
at the same time in the month of November.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Follow these names if you will.
Speaker 6 (28:44):
These four storms Yin, Shing, Taraji, Usaji, and MANYI are
either fast approaching the Philippines or have just passed over
those islands in the surrounding areas in just one week.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Weird story going on about an act dress She was
in Gossip Girl. She's thirty six year old Chanel Banks.
Her family said they haven't seen or heard from her
in two weeks and that she is missing, but the
LAPD announced that she is safe and unharmed. The family
says the woman the LAPD located is not Chanel Banks.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
What how does that happen? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
She was last seen October thirtieth. Her cell phone died
and her car and dog were still at her apartment
and play a vista.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
That is weird.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
Justin is with us Hi?
Speaker 6 (29:35):
I am not missing yet maybe soon? Is the towel thing? Yep,
you wear your tail and I don't understand why we're
obsessing over it. How do you wear your towel?
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Gary, I don't want to know the answer to any
about towel placement.
Speaker 6 (29:51):
I don't spend a lot of time in a towel
with a towel around me.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
You air dry like Cuba Gooding Junior and Jerry mcgware.
I'd run it. I run the water off. No, I
try and I put the towel away.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Oh I tried to put the You put the clothes
on right away or you just walk around.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Well, I don't need to tell all of my secrets
to you that you know what?
Speaker 4 (30:11):
You know what I do that I get a lot
of flak for from people in my family is I
do the like you know when you're drying your back,
you grab the two corners of.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
The cow and you go side to side, dance like
Donald Trump. And then I, yes, I dance like Donald Trump.
Well done.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
And then I and I shimmy my way down like
a car wash down to my rear end.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Right, you got to do that on the back.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
Yeah, it's like a wiper that goes down with that
and I do a little shimmy with.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Him in it. Why Are you doing it in front
of your family?
Speaker 3 (30:35):
Is it a show?
Speaker 2 (30:36):
No, I mean not every time.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
Well, I mean everybody with his kids out the same
parts as he has, so it's not as weird. Well
it's not as weird.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
It's still you think I would if I had a daughter.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
No, no, No.
Speaker 6 (30:50):
I made a I made a joke about that in
front of my son last night, as a matter of fact,
and he was like, Dad, don't it.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
Ta's like, what do you mean you have a joke
about what?
Speaker 2 (31:03):
I should have never said that? She never said that?
You literally, like you forgot. He was in front of
a microphone. Well you will do figure out figure out
how even say that.
Speaker 6 (31:22):
Well, let's just say I was making a comment about
genitalia and my son told me not to. It's fair,
isn't it crazy?
Speaker 10 (31:32):
That?
Speaker 4 (31:32):
And I mean this with all seriousness. Shannon is probably
an infinite better parrot than both of us.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
But you you have this distance of it, like you
look at things from an objective perspective that I think
when you're in the trenches of parenting you can get
lost in it, and so you can instantaneously see all the.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Things and you're like that doesn't make one.
Speaker 6 (31:52):
The one area where I think that we would score
better than she would is and not not much better
is sideline parenting the kid is in a sporting event.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Yah, I've made mistakes.
Speaker 6 (32:07):
You've probably you know, been a little heated at times
when you didn't need to be. This lady would be
kicked out of the parks and wreck department like.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Photo every park.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
Yeah, I've dipped my toe into my nephew's games and
quickly taken the toe out of the water and sidelined myself.
You cannot. I cannot think you would sign.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
Up to coach or would it just be parent in the.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
Stands, because I'd be abusing other children, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
I really want to see that Ted Lasso reboot, really
with a.
Speaker 4 (32:37):
Shannon Farren character instead of a heartwarming garbage we got
to watch for four years.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
Let's see some real coaching go down.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
Speaking of coaching, yes, Tom Brady, h this was a
lot of clickbait. The only reason I brought it in
is because there were like eight versions of this story
that all said that he screwed up a lot as
a father. But when you actually read into it, I
think you get some pretty solid parenting advice. But my
question is he doesn't really He says that he screwed up,
but it's really about the fact that he thinks it's
(33:07):
important that parents encourage their kid. He said, the blessing
my parents gave me was when I was that long
shot as a kid who was a backup quarterback on
a freshman team. They never said, Man, don't do that,
it's gonna be too hard. Let's do something different. Let's
think about another backup plan that kind of said you
know what, go Instead, they said, go for it. Whatever
you want to be, go for it. And that's probably
(33:28):
my parenting style. And I'm wondering how many parents have
done that but not birth Tom Brady like, is it
a you know what I mean? There's a great investment
book that I read called Fooled by Randomness, and it
talks about in a culture, what we really do is
we celebrate success and we try to repeat it, and
we don't account for the fact that that success is
probably more anomalous than just a pattern.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
Or a recipe.
Speaker 6 (33:49):
Right, I mean, everybody would be successful if it wasn't
as random as it is.
Speaker 4 (33:54):
Right, Like, I don't think we can all just encourage
our kids. Like I know lots of people are like,
I'm developed being an app.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
Maybe I'm a backup right, Like.
Speaker 6 (34:05):
Yeah that I mean that that attitude that a parent
has is going to be important. I'm trying to think
of if you encourage them to be what they want,
like Tom Brady's parents, you can you whatever you want
to be, go for it. Uh, there's gonna be something
that builds up in that innate failure in that. I
(34:25):
mean he's failed plenty of times, yes, and come back
from that and become the greatest quarterback arguably that the
NFL has ever seen, at least the most successful. So
but he's learned along the way. And you know, not
everybody's gonna end up being world renowned for their athletic prowess,
but maybe they become the world's greatest athletic trainer or
(34:48):
the I.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
Don't know, would you consider to Like when I told
my dad I wanted to be an actor or a comedian,
he never told me no, he just said.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
Was you a real job on the side?
Speaker 2 (34:58):
No, Well maybe he did have that.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
What he actually said was you're gonna need to learn
to be good with your money because you'd never know
when your next paycheck is going to come from. Like
he he didn't blow sunshine up, you know what, but
he did like give me some advice.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
And I had a similar with my younger son.
Speaker 4 (35:13):
He wanted I don't know if he still wants to,
but he said he wanted to be an actor, and
I just said, well, you got to get good grades
and get that stuff because that's what's more important right
now in your life, Like that's what you need to do.
And he also was like you could tell you want
to talk about it because he thought he was going
to make him rich. And I said, this is not
a job that you do for the money, like if
you're in it for the money. Very few people that
I know went into it for the money and actually
(35:34):
had it work out.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
Even the people who are currently making.
Speaker 4 (35:36):
Money making money, they don't do it for the That's
probably the most annoying part about it, Like probably most
people who are successful.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
I guess, I don't know, ye did you ever have
anything like that with your kids?
Speaker 6 (35:46):
Were you like, there, I want to do this and
my son got in early and the internet YouTube would
be an influencer. Yeah, and it just I think he
realized the amount of work and it would take to
do something to feed that beast was just not and
I wasn't willing to help him do that.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
Maybe on Badford you didn't want to help him open
toys on camera and become a bazillionaire.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
We know what happened to that kid?
Speaker 3 (36:11):
What did happen to that kid?
Speaker 2 (36:12):
He's handing out with that actress. Yeah, somewhere limbussing, but
it's not really her.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
Justin thank you, Thank you, guys.
Speaker 6 (36:20):
Always wonderful day, Big twelve o'clock hour when we come.
Speaker 2 (36:23):

Speaker 2 (00:09):
A friend of the show just left us a message
with Gary Shannon good time at This is really the contractor.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Oh yeah, I'm here with my boys work.
Speaker 4 (00:22):

Next time you guys have another show.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Good times.
Speaker 5 (00:31):
Thanks again.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
See that's real work being done.
Speaker 6 (00:34):
Do you think that's someone actually just do you think
that's actually someone doing work or someone just banging a
hammer on a two by four to make it sound
like Do.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
You think that Ray would employ us to be on
his crew if we got the axe?
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Uh, what's your favorite hammer to swing?
Speaker 7 (00:50):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (00:50):
A needle? Nos? Hammer?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
I would say, no, Then.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Is that not a thing.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
That's not a thing.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Oh, well, name a hammer.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
I would use a sixteen ounce framing hammer.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Oh okay, show off?
Speaker 2 (01:08):
What what with the axe handle on the bottom?
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Okay, I would use the needlenose one. Right, you can
do whatever you want, I guess.
Speaker 6 (01:19):
Firefighters finally mopping up after that fire that broke out
in their homes in the hillsides of Pacific Palisades today,
fourteen hundred North Palisades Drive. They said it's only about
five acres. Was about as large as it got. It
actually was close to I think it's called the Santa
Nez Reservoir that's up in that area. So again, the
(01:42):
good news is there was not a lot of wind
this morning in that area, so that but you could
still see pretty heavy cloud of smoke rise from that area.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
I changed my name about my mind about the hammer,
I would choose the ballpeen hammer.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
That is a hammer. Got you do you look up
types of hammer.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Maybe it's Tiper's swamp watch, Elmer, it's Stiverer's swamp watch.
Speaker 8 (02:15):
You took him by surprise. I know that's all right,
shocking there Airy comes ready, Yeah, better do something before
I play.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
This is horrible government.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Make us like a reality TV shoot.
Speaker 7 (02:34):
Bad.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Always a pleasure to be anywhere from Washington, d C. Hey, Joe.
Speaker 8 (02:40):
A town hall too clearly built on a swamp and
in so many ways still a swamp watch.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Make what he said, drained the swamp? I said, oh,
that's so, you know the.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Thing old Biden and Trump met face to face today
in the Oval Office.
Speaker 6 (02:57):
It sounded like this for only a short thirty eight seconds.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
MS.
Speaker 9 (03:01):
President elect in the former president, thank you, found congratulation,
Thank you, and I'm looking forward to having, like I said,
smooth transition to whatever. We can make sure you're accommodated
what you need, and we're gonna get a chance to
talk about some out today. It's a good welcome. Well Jay,
thank you very much. And politics is tough, and it's
(03:26):
many cases not a very nice world, but it is
a nice world today and I appreciate very much.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Nice world to transition that's so smooth. It'll be as
smooth as you can get. And I very much appreciate
that you you all.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Biden, by the way, is going to hold talks on
Saturday with Shijin Ping in Peru. Of course, there's an
international summit there, the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit. Who's
okaying this travel for Biden to go to Peru? It
(04:01):
seems I would not okay that if he was one
of my relatives.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Would you okay it?
Speaker 6 (04:07):
If he was traveling with multiple doctors and on the
air force?
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Probably?
Speaker 1 (04:11):
I mean, it's an interesting backdrop, though, isn't it Biden
meeting with Shi Jin Ping when Trump has spent the
week appointing anti China people to take their place in
his cabinet, whether it be Mark Rubio or.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
The Deaf sec sect Deaf sec deaf interesting.
Speaker 6 (04:35):
Yeah, this, uh, the fleshing out of of what we're
seeing in terms of this cabinet has been uh uh
interesting also in that the Marco Rubio thing has not
been confirmed, and there's an interesting aspect of that that
comes with Ron de Santis's name, because what have happens
(05:00):
If Marco Rubio is named as Secretary of State, he
loses his or you know, resigns his position in the
Senate representing the great State of Florida.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Well, the.
Speaker 6 (05:16):
This governor of Florida would then get to basically just
name somebody to be his replacement, which gives Ron de
Santis a lot of power in terms of picking a young,
up and coming politician perhaps that they would want to
elevate to.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
The national stage.
Speaker 6 (05:33):
But what if Donald Trump pulls a fast one and
disappoints both of those guys and does not have Marco
Rubio as his secretary of State, decides to go somewhere else,
maybe like a Tulsi Gabbard to be Secretary of State
and then Ron De Santis is left holding this prize
pig and Marco Rubio has to go back to the Senate.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Has there been any talk about Ron De Santis. I
don't think that.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
No, But and that was kind of one of that
was a question I thought of, was he is he
in the same is he in the same lot as
Nicki Haley and Mike Pompeo because he ran again? I
think so Donald Trump plus you, if you're Donald Trump,
I think you could still say to Ron DeSantis, you're
(06:21):
doing a great job in Florida and I need you
there or I want to keep you there or whatever,
I mean, whatever term you want to use.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
But they could still be they could still be the allies.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Well, DeSantis would get to appoint somebody to Rubio's seat.
Speaker 6 (06:36):
Right, Yeah, which gives him a specific amount of power.
But if to be a point himself, yeah, I don't
know why not, and.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Only there's anything that would preclude him from doing that.
Speaker 6 (06:50):
I don't know if he'd want that job. I mean,
I don't know what in his mind, what would be
the higher profile job as being a senator or the
governor of the state of Florida.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Well, he's out after his term, sure, but then he's
giving that Senate seat forever.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
For six well for six years.
Speaker 6 (07:09):
I don't know how much time Marco Ruby has left
on that on his term.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
But he wouldn't be voted out, right, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (07:19):
John Thune has been elected as the Senate Majority Leader.
He is going to succeed Mitch McConnell. Thune has served
as Senate Republican Whip, which is the number two in
the Senate Republican Leadership, since twenty nineteen, largely managed operation
of the Senate floor since McConnell suffered a concussion from
a fall in twenty twenty three. And remember, Mitch McConnell
(07:41):
was the guy whose batteries would die all of the
sudden in the mid middle of a speech, and his
hard drive was rebooting in front of everybody, which was
uncomfortable to watch. But John Thune beat out John Cornyn
of Texas by a vote of twenty five to twenty four.
Foon led after the first ballot. Rick Scott was the
(08:02):
only one who was also in there, but he was
voted out after that first round.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Of voting.
Speaker 6 (08:07):
His name was taken off than they voted between Fune
and Corn and to take over more swamp watch stuff
when we come back.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Yeah, Press Secretary. Could it be Megan Kelly?
Speaker 2 (08:20):
She would not take the pay cut.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Where is she now?
Speaker 6 (08:24):
She's doing She's doing a podcast. She's doing U two

One of the things that former President Trump did today
before he met up with President Biden at the White
House was he met with House Republicans and celebrated what
appears to be the House Republican majority, which will take
effect in the next session of Congress. He said, I
won I suspect I won't be running again unless you
(10:55):
do something.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
See, I told you you wanted to be a dick.
It was a joke.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Everybody joked, and he said, it's a joke.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
Uh, it's He went on to say, unless you say
he's so good, we have to just figure it out.
Tim Burchett, Republican out of Tennessee, was asked for comment
by The Hill and had to actually roll his eyes
and say that was a joke.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
It was clearly a joke, I said.
Speaker 6 (11:24):
I even leaned over to somebody beside me and said,
that'll be the headline tomorrow. Trump trying to thwart the
Constitution and there's nothing for nothing further from the.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Truth, Trump says, Elon Musk and the veck. Ramaswami, am
I putting in an extra Okay, Ramaswamie, I added a
little something extra for him. Ramaswami, which sounds like a
delicious dish Ramashwarma.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Yeah, while you're trying to say it like.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
That, I don't know, Okay, Vivek Ramaswami. They will lead
a new Department of Government Efficiency. Despite the title, the
new organization will not be a government agency. It's going
to be an outside group. It's going to offer the
White House advice on how to drive large scale structural reform,
create a new approach to government. They want to shock
(12:14):
government systems. The acronym, of course, is doge, which is
a nod to Elon Musk's favorite cryptocurrency, the doge coin,
which happens to be surging in value since Trump won
the election. Elon Musk has said, We're going to be
super transparent about it. If you know a department that
needs to be cut into, or you think that something
needs to be saved, let us know. Everything will be publicized.
(12:38):
We are going to publicize how much money your tax
dollars there are, which programs your tax dollers are going
to He said, this is going to be tragic and
entertaining at the same time.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Absolutely.
Speaker 6 (12:53):
The other big news in terms of appointments potential appointments,
is that pricing elect Trump picked a conservative commentator, TV
host author to be the new Secretary of Defense National
Security Officials. Defense analysts knew that we were going to
see some surprises based on what we saw out of
(13:14):
the first four years from Donald Trump. But even on that,
they said the announcement of Pete Hegseth caught them completely
off guard. Not because he doesn't have military experience, he
has plenty. He's decorated Army veteran, deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan,
among others. But they said that basically this is proof
(13:35):
that he Trump values loyalty more than anything. Basically one
of them, Eric Edelman, served as a top policy official
during the Bush administration. Sent it appears one of the
main criteria that's being used is how well do people
defend Donald Trump on television? Not a giant surprise in
(13:57):
that that's what we've seen from the other appointments that
he's made is those people that are specifically loyal to
Trump are the ones who are being rewarded with these
very high profile, very high profile positions. The selection did
draw backlash from some veterans group leaders who opposed Pete
(14:18):
hag Seth when he was floated for a VA secretary
during Trump's first term. Former executive director of Vets for
Freedom and the former CEO of Concern Vets for America,
a group that advocates for outso outsourcing of healthcare for
veterans that was funded by the Koch Brothers. At least
one person Independent Veterans of America said he's undoubtedly the
(14:40):
least qualified nominee for SECTEF in American history and the
most overtly political. I played for you earlier today part
of an interview that Hegseth gave regarding his concerns about
the threat that is China. That specifically China has been practicing,
prepared ring planning for a very long term slow evolution
(15:09):
where China becomes the master superpower in the world, and
to do that they have specifically built their military to
take out the American military.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Gavin Newsome, they say, rallied Democratic members of California's delegation
as they stealed themselves for a Trump presidency. It was
a closed door lunch meeting over sandwiches today at a
Capitol office building. Knew some telling reporters that he and
other lawmakers talked about getting on the same page ahead
(15:40):
of the special legislative session They're working to prepare their
legal defenses for Trump's return to the White House, he said.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
He said, we talked.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
About the one hundred and twenty two lawsuits we were
involved in in the Trump administration. We talked about how
we're going to move aggressively to be proactive, not re
active to the incoming administration.
Speaker 6 (16:04):
And then finally, what is Kamala Harris going to do
after she is no longer Vice President of the United States.
A poll from UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies co
sponsored by The La Times found that if Kamala Harris
wanted to get into the race for governor in twenty
twenty six, nearly half of voters would be either very
(16:24):
or somewhat likely to support her, which blows all of
the current candidates out of the water, partly because she
has name recognition and they don't for the most part.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
So that's the only reason right now. Yeah, all right.
Coming up next, Justin Worsham will join us host of
The Dad Podcast. We'll be talking about parental burnout and
just parenting challenges. I think every parent at one point
thinks that they've screwed up, because how can you not
(16:56):
screw up once or twice or five hundred times.
Speaker 6 (16:58):
If I went on the view and Sonny Houston asked me,
is there anything that you would have done differently? I
would have a laundry list of things that I could
have done differently.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
With differently than Biden did well with the kids, specifically Gary. Okay,
we'll do that later.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
A M six forty.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 6 (17:25):
That's the lyric, right, I don't know if that's the word.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
You just sound so serious about that. I don't know
if that's the word. Like it was a very serious question.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Topic could be. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
It's God, it's catchy, isn't it justin you want to
hear the story?
Speaker 2 (17:49):
I do.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Okay, So you know how Spotify has.
Speaker 6 (17:53):
Doesn't I don't think we were relive this, but we're
going to relive it right from the one.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
So Spotify is an algorithm where it'll suggest songs to you. Oh,
I'll like discover weekly as a little playlist but together
based on songs that you like. And so I clicked
on that today and this was the first song. It's
a nice country song, and I was like, this is good,
and then all of a sudden it took.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
A left turn. Yeah, so here was the beginning. Oh yeah,
because I want him to go on the journey I
went on.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
While you look for that, I've also recently stumbled into
Spotify because of my children.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
This is what my life has become. I'm now getting
reminded of that.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
I'm getting older because my children tell me about these things.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
I know about Spotty, don't make a.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Face, Shannon. I knew what Spotify was.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
It just wasn't the thing I would go do because
I had Apple Music. And then he said, oh, Spotify
so much better, much better. And then I tried it
and he was right.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
That's all. That's all I'm saying. I don't know. I'm
forty five. I don't need to go out and try
new things, do I.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Well, you're a lot older than I am. So this
is the way the song started.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
I really wanted to be like six months. It sounds
like a delight. It's a great drive in and a
country music.
Speaker 10 (19:08):
There's something about the way you look in my oh
yeah yeah love song starring that you lot of Mosca,
great line you leaning closer and my heart starts the
down heard it?
Speaker 2 (19:23):
You know?
Speaker 4 (19:24):
I love that sound, yeah checks.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
I love the way he rare yeah, the use of
the word pound.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
But maybe it's because I knew what was coming is
what For whatever reason that that tripped something in my
head that was like wait what yeah, yeah right there her.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
You know, I love that sound, my booty chacks. I
love the way he rare.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
And I was like, what what did I just hear?
Speaker 4 (19:55):
You heard the new era of country music where it's
now uh fully accepting and and you know, there's no
I'm not saying this to be sarcastic, but I think
it's it's gotta be some kind of a representation thing
of like, no, no, you think it's a commercial ploy
just a yes, okay, I mean based on what this
the other songs that the guy has done, and the
(20:15):
other weirds in Dallas is right, Dixon, Dallas.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
It's not the guy that wears the mask.
Speaker 6 (20:20):
No oh, this guy's just a just a guy, cowboy,
white T shirt, cowboy hat, guitar, blue jeans, boots.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
I like it least.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
If he's like if he's like trying to like tongue
in cheek, poking fun of like I think I don't
know why that bothers my southern California.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Self wildly popular. Good for him.
Speaker 6 (20:38):
And the thing is, then he's also done rap songs
under different utists.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
It's great.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
I would love to do a line dance to a
a gay friendly country song.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
I would do that.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Wait, here's the thing. I just think it's more said.
He has not said he is gay.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
He has said that he could be gay, straight or by,
and that it doesn't matter. You say, Dixon Dallas is
the gay country music alter ego of singer Jake Hill.
Speaker 6 (21:07):
Yeah, he's Chris Gaines in this thing, Jake Hill. But
Chris Gaines never made it out of that first album.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
That's true. Well, maybe Chris Gaines paved the way. That's true.
Speaker 6 (21:18):
Dixon Dallas is his name, Dixon, Dixon, Dallas, Dixon.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Dallas. Got it? You still want to talk about parents.
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
It's flossy flossy by the way, but it sounds like flouncy, flouncy.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
But it's flossy.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
I don't know. I was, That's what I always thought
that was.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
You know how you have these songs that you sing
in your head, and I was singing flouncy, flouncy, but
it turns out, oh the flossy flossy.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
You sing glamorous in your head.
Speaker 6 (21:43):
Just random, Okay, Now I'm gonna sing this song I'm
gonna go get Dixon. Do you do you do you
sing this like with the towel around your waist, like
after the shower.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Oh, it's underneath my shoulders. I'm a gentleman. I'm not
you know, I don't need these nips swinging around.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Nobody wants Nobody wants to thank you.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Positive house.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
No, we got it in trouble.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
I'm out of control. Welcome to the party.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
That doesn't mean you run into the wall for.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Or genital talk at the nine o'clock.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
People will keep their head low.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Let me figure out how to do that. Well, somebody
teaches me to do that.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
I don't think it could be done based on my
experience right now.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
And maybe that's part of your charm. Maybe that's your survival.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
We would call it charm.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
I would. It's the word I use. Very sweet.
Speaker 6 (22:38):
New surveys at the Ohio State University provides some insight
into parental burnout and why it happens.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Parents parents feel burned out.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
Yeah, and it's it's so it's it is annoyed. Like
as much as I can understand it, it's just annoying.
It's like it's like saying my head hurts. Because I
hit it against the wall, not because I ran into
a wall accidentally. But I'm banging my head against a
wall and now my head hurts.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
That's what this is.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
If you're so purnt out, stop making your kids do
crap or feel like that's the most important thing in
their life. Guess what, just because your kid goes to
a fancy college doesn't mean they're going to be happy.
They could still be divorced. They could still be miserable
and burnt out from their own children. Never get a
great job, never get a great job. None of this
really matters. Which is this is what I like when
(23:26):
I see these kinds of articles, because it makes me
feel like the bar is significantly lowered for parents and
we should all just embrace it.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
And I know I'm kidding a lot, but in a way,
I'm serious.
Speaker 6 (23:35):
The signs of parents will burnout, getting easily irritated with
your kids. Yes, waking up exhausted at the thought of
another day. This sounds like it's also the.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Sense of a radio.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
I was just gonna say, this sounds like Gary every day.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
His kids are at least out of the house.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
So is that accurate?
Speaker 2 (23:56):
A smile?
Speaker 3 (24:00):
It's not making eye clear.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
Parents more likely to experience burnout when they didn't feel
like a good parent, felt judged by others, lack time
to play with their children, had low quality relationship with
their spouse, and felt pressure to have a clean house.
So really, this is to me what I read in this,
and I hope I'm not roar shacking it and seeing
what I want to see. But it really means that
(24:23):
everybody should just lighten up and kind of go back
to the way things used to be, where you weren't
so hyper focused.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
On your kid.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
Maybe maybe consider being focused on your partner in life
and then have your kids be an ancillary result of
that focus and the family dynamic be a priority and
not about getting your kid to learn Mandarin and play
a violin and also be an exceller in lacrosse.
Speaker 6 (24:46):
And weird example of this is in that TV show
Disclaimer that's on Apple TV right now. So the young
the teenager I guess he's a teenager dies and the
drowning our drowning rescue right, and the and father of
this younger guy both are suffering awful loss because they've
they've lost their son. But she closes off so completely
(25:11):
then like goes to live in his room and stuff
and leaves the dad there to kind of deal with
his own grief, et cetera. My wife said something last
night as we're watching this scene play out.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
She said, I want to move into another room too.
Speaker 6 (25:23):
She said, I would never leave you in that moment
because of my own grief, knowing that you know, I
signed up to take care of her and she signed
up to take care of me in those darkest moments,
that that would be the focus. And in that storyline,
there's no other kids to take care of necessarily, and
they're older, and you know, they're middle aged by the
(25:44):
time this happens.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
When you finished the show, you'll have insight into that.
Speaker 6 (25:50):
I oh, but it, but it proves that, I mean,
you can't forego that primary relationship. The most underrated paragraph
or chapters, I should say, in parenting books is the
Almost every book that I've read on parenting spends some
kind of time saying you need to pay attention to
your spouse, to your partner in this And I think
(26:12):
it's so much as like, what about the kid? But
what about the kid?
Speaker 4 (26:16):
And all of the experts that I've ever talked about
say that if you can build a strong relationship with
your spouse and you can focus on that, the trickle
down effect is your kids feel safe and secure because
mom and dad are locked in. And it also helps
if you as a disciplinary thing, if you are a
united front. Weirdly enough, the kids don't feel attacked and outnumbered.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
They feel comfortable.
Speaker 6 (26:36):
They feel safe that way, right, they know there's no
soft spot that they're gonna wiggle through at that right.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
And it's all this stuff that is coming out in
a survey. It's not really scientific. It's more just anecdotal
experiences these parents. But parents who are burnt out are
also likely to have kids that have mental health issues.
These things that we're doing that we're the intention is
to help our kids, is actually making our life and
their life worse.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Maybe we just try to be more like baseball players.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
I like it.
Speaker 6 (27:02):
You're never going to hit, You're never going to bat
a thousand. Hey, shoot for like three point fifty. You're
winning the league. I mean, you're going to get that
batting time.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
There was a book I read called in Our Mediocrity.
Speaker 4 (27:14):
Yes, Parenting from the inside out actually says that it
talks it reference as a high road low road. So
a low road moment is when you as a parent
lose your temper, lose control, and you have to go
back and correct. The data says that really you only
have to get it right one third of the time
to be effective as a parent. So you're spot on
with your baseball analogy. If you're one third a little
over one third at the time, you're an all star.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Boy or just step into the pitch.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
What she's going to break that down in the break?
I think, tell me understand.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
I don't understand how you made your waist base yellow jackets.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
It was the hornets whatever.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI AM.
Six forty.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Republicans have elected South Dakota Senate John Thune as the
next Senate majority leader, completing a big shift in their leadership.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Elevates a top deputy of Mitch McConnell into Mitch McConnell's place.
Speaker 6 (28:11):
Mentioned that there is a disturbance in the Caribbean that
could become a tropical depression in the coming days. National
Hurricane Center gives it about an eighty percent chance of
developing over the next seven days if it reaches tropical
storm strength. They're going to name it tropical Storm Sarah.
While that's going on, there four storms right now churning
(28:33):
simultaneously in the North Pacific Ocean in the South China Sea,
the first time on record that there have been four
at the same time in the month of November.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Follow these names if you will.
Speaker 6 (28:44):
These four storms Yin, Shing, Taraji, Usaji, and MANYI are
either fast approaching the Philippines or have just passed over
those islands in the surrounding areas in just one week.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Weird story going on about an act dress She was
in Gossip Girl. She's thirty six year old Chanel Banks.
Her family said they haven't seen or heard from her
in two weeks and that she is missing, but the
LAPD announced that she is safe and unharmed. The family
says the woman the LAPD located is not Chanel Banks.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
What how does that happen? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
She was last seen October thirtieth. Her cell phone died
and her car and dog were still at her apartment
and play a vista.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
That is weird.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
Justin is with us Hi?
Speaker 6 (29:35):
I am not missing yet maybe soon? Is the towel thing? Yep,
you wear your tail and I don't understand why we're
obsessing over it. How do you wear your towel?
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Gary, I don't want to know the answer to any
about towel placement.
Speaker 6 (29:51):
I don't spend a lot of time in a towel
with a towel around me.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
You air dry like Cuba Gooding Junior and Jerry mcgware.
I'd run it. I run the water off. No, I
try and I put the towel away.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Oh I tried to put the You put the clothes
on right away or you just walk around.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Well, I don't need to tell all of my secrets
to you that you know what?
Speaker 4 (30:11):
You know what I do that I get a lot
of flak for from people in my family is I
do the like you know when you're drying your back,
you grab the two corners of.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
The cow and you go side to side, dance like
Donald Trump. And then I, yes, I dance like Donald Trump.
Well done.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
And then I and I shimmy my way down like
a car wash down to my rear end.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Right, you got to do that on the back.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
Yeah, it's like a wiper that goes down with that
and I do a little shimmy with.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Him in it. Why Are you doing it in front
of your family?
Speaker 3 (30:35):
Is it a show?
Speaker 2 (30:36):
No, I mean not every time.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
Well, I mean everybody with his kids out the same
parts as he has, so it's not as weird. Well
it's not as weird.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
It's still you think I would if I had a daughter.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
No, no, No.
Speaker 6 (30:50):
I made a I made a joke about that in
front of my son last night, as a matter of fact,
and he was like, Dad, don't it.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
Ta's like, what do you mean you have a joke
about what?
Speaker 2 (31:03):
I should have never said that? She never said that?
You literally, like you forgot. He was in front of
a microphone. Well you will do figure out figure out
how even say that.
Speaker 6 (31:22):
Well, let's just say I was making a comment about
genitalia and my son told me not to. It's fair,
isn't it crazy?
Speaker 10 (31:32):
That?
Speaker 4 (31:32):
And I mean this with all seriousness. Shannon is probably
an infinite better parrot than both of us.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
But you you have this distance of it, like you
look at things from an objective perspective that I think
when you're in the trenches of parenting you can get
lost in it, and so you can instantaneously see all the.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Things and you're like that doesn't make one.
Speaker 6 (31:52):
The one area where I think that we would score
better than she would is and not not much better
is sideline parenting the kid is in a sporting event.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Yah, I've made mistakes.
Speaker 6 (32:07):
You've probably you know, been a little heated at times
when you didn't need to be. This lady would be
kicked out of the parks and wreck department like.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Photo every park.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
Yeah, I've dipped my toe into my nephew's games and
quickly taken the toe out of the water and sidelined myself.
You cannot. I cannot think you would sign.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
Up to coach or would it just be parent in the.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
Stands, because I'd be abusing other children, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
I really want to see that Ted Lasso reboot, really
with a.
Speaker 4 (32:37):
Shannon Farren character instead of a heartwarming garbage we got
to watch for four years.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
Let's see some real coaching go down.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
Speaking of coaching, yes, Tom Brady, h this was a
lot of clickbait. The only reason I brought it in
is because there were like eight versions of this story
that all said that he screwed up a lot as
a father. But when you actually read into it, I
think you get some pretty solid parenting advice. But my
question is he doesn't really He says that he screwed up,
but it's really about the fact that he thinks it's
(33:07):
important that parents encourage their kid. He said, the blessing
my parents gave me was when I was that long
shot as a kid who was a backup quarterback on
a freshman team. They never said, Man, don't do that,
it's gonna be too hard. Let's do something different. Let's
think about another backup plan that kind of said you
know what, go Instead, they said, go for it. Whatever
you want to be, go for it. And that's probably
(33:28):
my parenting style. And I'm wondering how many parents have
done that but not birth Tom Brady like, is it
a you know what I mean? There's a great investment
book that I read called Fooled by Randomness, and it
talks about in a culture, what we really do is
we celebrate success and we try to repeat it, and
we don't account for the fact that that success is
probably more anomalous than just a pattern.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
Or a recipe.
Speaker 6 (33:49):
Right, I mean, everybody would be successful if it wasn't
as random as it is.
Speaker 4 (33:54):
Right, Like, I don't think we can all just encourage
our kids. Like I know lots of people are like,
I'm developed being an app.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
Maybe I'm a backup right, Like.
Speaker 6 (34:05):
Yeah that I mean that that attitude that a parent
has is going to be important. I'm trying to think
of if you encourage them to be what they want,
like Tom Brady's parents, you can you whatever you want
to be, go for it. Uh, there's gonna be something
that builds up in that innate failure in that. I
(34:25):
mean he's failed plenty of times, yes, and come back
from that and become the greatest quarterback arguably that the
NFL has ever seen, at least the most successful. So
but he's learned along the way. And you know, not
everybody's gonna end up being world renowned for their athletic prowess,
but maybe they become the world's greatest athletic trainer or
(34:48):
the I.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
Don't know, would you consider to Like when I told
my dad I wanted to be an actor or a comedian,
he never told me no, he just said.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
Was you a real job on the side?
Speaker 2 (34:58):
No, Well maybe he did have that.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
What he actually said was you're gonna need to learn
to be good with your money because you'd never know
when your next paycheck is going to come from. Like
he he didn't blow sunshine up, you know what, but
he did like give me some advice.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
And I had a similar with my younger son.
Speaker 4 (35:13):
He wanted I don't know if he still wants to,
but he said he wanted to be an actor, and
I just said, well, you got to get good grades
and get that stuff because that's what's more important right
now in your life, Like that's what you need to do.
And he also was like you could tell you want
to talk about it because he thought he was going
to make him rich. And I said, this is not
a job that you do for the money, like if
you're in it for the money. Very few people that
I know went into it for the money and actually
(35:34):
had it work out.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
Even the people who are currently making.
Speaker 4 (35:36):
Money making money, they don't do it for the That's
probably the most annoying part about it, Like probably most
people who are successful.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
I guess, I don't know, ye did you ever have
anything like that with your kids?
Speaker 6 (35:46):
Were you like, there, I want to do this and
my son got in early and the internet YouTube would
be an influencer. Yeah, and it just I think he
realized the amount of work and it would take to
do something to feed that beast was just not and
I wasn't willing to help him do that.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
Maybe on Badford you didn't want to help him open
toys on camera and become a bazillionaire.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
We know what happened to that kid?
Speaker 3 (36:11):
What did happen to that kid?
Speaker 2 (36:12):
He's handing out with that actress. Yeah, somewhere limbussing, but
it's not really her.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
Justin thank you, Thank you, guys.

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
