Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon, and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app. Okay, so I kind of stumbled
into it when I was just talking to you about
it yesterday about this isn't really about the guns and
the taxes. You know, there's there's so much more serious stuff.
And wait a minute, and my conspiracy theory picked up.
(00:21):
The snowball continued this morning when I was.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Lying in bed, stop doing that thinking of.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Joe Biden in bed, I know, right, So like I know,
I can't help it.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
And so I start thinking to.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Myself, this wasn't a I love my son, I'm giving
him a pardon. This was Hunter falling on the sword
for the entire Biden family.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
That's what this was.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
I'm convinced that the charges that the Justice Department brought
up on Hunter, that they had this all figured out.
They were doing the calculus of this that if we
charge him with guns up and tax stuff and then
he falls on the sword for this, I can pardon
him and then all the other stuff goes away.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
It just goes with this.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Our whole familial criminal enterprise goes away.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
You have weird thoughts in the middle of the morning.
Welcome everybody. We are live today at the Anaheim Whitehouse Restaurant.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
I've been thinking about this for hours.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
For our fourteenth Annuel postathon. Thanks for coming out, everybody
that's here. Wow, that was very quiet. Thanks everybody for
coming out.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Like all the money laundering stuff in Ukraine, the board
and the LLC's and everything.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Arguably the most sweeping pardon any president has given anybody
for anything.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
And why the time stamp of eleven years something?
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Somebody knows something.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Somebody knows something. Joe Biden suddenly looks brilliant.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Chuck Todd, by the way, an NBC guy, longtime analyst
with NBC, knows the Biden family, admits that he knows
a new beau and has spent time with Hunter. Apparently,
he said Joe Biden actually needs therapy because he says
that Joe Biden has not processed Bo's death completely and
(02:13):
that this is this is a fas fragment of that.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Bless his heart, that's not what it is.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
He said. He's that Joe's second guess is everything he's
done with raising Hunter versus raising Bow. If anybody has
multiple kids. You know, you could bring up two kids
in the same house completely and they are wildly differ.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
My mom says that all the time. I can't believe
you and your brother are both raised in the same house.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I say that about my kids. There are such different people, right,
So I don't know why he feels guilt about that,
other than it's just a family thing, I think. I
think speaking of a family thing.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
The reason I was so confident in my conspiracy theory
this morning is because I got a couple of text
messages last night to the effective you nailed it about
the girl missing, the missing girlfriend Hawaii. Yeah, and now
it's come out that she went to Mexico willingly. She'd
been talking in the past about wanting to disconnect from
this connected world in terms of probably her family's too
(03:10):
connected to.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Her, and she just took off.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
She thirty year old woman decided that she wanted to
go to La spend some time, maybe go to a
Lebron event, and then go to Mexico to un her
crazy ass family is still screaming from the rooftops and
jumping from them.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
And here's the thing is it is.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
It It was a week ago, Come on, this Giving
Tuesday is softening everyone's heart.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Yeah, this Giving Tuesday. By the way, we have our
nine o'clock total for Pastathon numbers. Don't forget you can
always go to pastathon dot com, go to KFI AM
six forty dot com slash Pastathon donate their online. We
have auction items we'll talk about throughout the show. As
of nine AM, one hundred and twenty two thousand, six
(04:00):
hundred and seventy eight dollars.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Yes, that's huge nine AM number six three and seventeen
pounds of pasta and sauce already collected.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Yummy.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
So we are going to be at Anaheim White House
Restaurant all day today. We'll be here through ten o'clock
tonight with Mo Kelly and UH and his gang of
rowdy rap scallions. I think is this the way that
they've branded the show lately?
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Really?
Speaker 2 (04:24):
But before that Conway, before that John Coebelt, and then
we have several hours to get through. We've got Amy
King Okay, Yeah, is everything working? Okay?
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Where are we going to annoy you? If we stand
this close to you usually get to be around the hole.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
The corn are kind of intruding on my space but
I'm okay with it.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
If we stand even closer to you, is it more annoy.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Make it weird? So make it weird.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
You didn't ask you for consent, she said to me
as she finished the newscast right at the top of
the hour, She's.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
What'd you say? You guys are annoying? No, what was
the word? We are just eruptive, Like when we come
in and start putting our stuff up, we're disruptive. I
see that. I think you did great despite all the disruption.
Thanks fantastic, perfectly.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
I like that you guys are actually sitting next to
me because when Bill came in this morning, he said,
where are you sitting?
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Amy?
Speaker 1 (05:14):
And I sit here, and he goes, I need to
get as far away from her as possible, and he's
so he was on the other end, why do you
say that about you?
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Because he's mean, you're Amy King.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Everybody loves you. You're like Disneyland. I do like Disneyland.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
You smell like Disneyland, sugar sugar and cinnamon sugar and
everything nice. So we will be out here again, Pastathon
at Anaheim White House Restaurant all day today and we'll
talk about our auction item when we come back. We
have some special guests that we're going to be inviting
onto the show. We'll talk with Chef Bruno a little
bit later in the show as well.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Isn't that a nice story I found about the guy
who left the note after rear ending the car.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
It's highly unusual, and I feel like it's fake.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Really.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
I don't know if that's because I have a dark
heart to think that people couldn't be that nice. But
I had something similar happened to me. It was earlier
this year, something similar to that note.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Oh, I can't wait to hear it.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
All right, Gary and Shannon will continue. We're live today
Anaheim White House Restaurant for our fourteenth annual Pastathon. Come
on out, say hi, drop by, drop off your pasta
and sauce will be out here all day long.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
We are live at the Anaheim a White House Restaurant
for our annual Pastathon. This is all about coming together,
kicking off the holiday season, together to help kids who
are hungry in Orange County.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
It's hard to believe that that is the case, and
it is the case.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Katerina's Club, of Course, provides more than twenty five thousand
meals every week to kids in need in southern California.
So today and your generosity and everybody being here and
donating pasta and money and sauce and everything makes all
the difference.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Well, you were lying in bed thinking to Joe Biden
this morning. I realized that there for the last several years,
fourteen years, there has been a common thread through this
time of year. For me. We go from Thanksgiving, we
do Pastathon, I have a wedding anniversary, and then we
do Christmas like and for some reason, uh, when I
(07:12):
see Bruno, I think of my wife as I know
that my anniversary is coming up next.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
That is beautiful.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
How can you never help me remember my anniversary.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Anniversary is August eleventh? Right? Yes, okay, yes, because I
was at the wedding.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
No, you were, Yeah, I don't know why.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
It's always a surprise, wait for you or for me,
for you up on me for some reason. Did you
hear about Joe Biden by the way in Angola?
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Do you hear what he shouted to the delegation.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
So he's stuck in questions about the party, and then
all of a sudden, all.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
He says is welcome to America. He's in Angola, like.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Did he think he was watching the movie? Was okay?
The other big international story is going on right now.
For the first time in almost fifty years, emergency martial
law has been declared in South Korea.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
It looks very January sixth.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
E yeah, except it's communists from North and communist sympathizers
from North Korea who have made their way into the
parliament building with parliamentary security now trying to keep them out.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
But what's up with the South Korean president? Isn't he
cuckoo pants?
Speaker 2 (08:30):
I don't think that's how you pronounce it.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
But it's Giving Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
It's not I say that you were pronouncing his name wrong.
But the president did say he was going to eradicate
these pro North Korean forces protect the constitutional democratic order.
It's very late at night, if not early in the
morning there tomorrow, I think, is how you say it
in South Korea. So we will keep an eye on that.
(08:57):
If anything comes out of there, we'll definitely bring it to.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
One of our major partners for pastathon is Smart and Final.
Smart and Final accepts donations there at the check stand
at the locations the Smart and Final Charitable Foundation with
us here today.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Tina Marie Skieri. Is that right square Squarrey that I
screw it up routine. Yeah, there's a lot of extra
vowels in that name right there. Yeah, So all you
no kidding? You're the director of the Charitable Foundation for
Smart and File. First of all, tell us about what
the charitable foundation is and what it does.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
So I'm so fortunate and blessed to be a part
of it. We actually allow nonprofits in California, Arizona, Nevada
to request donations through us. We go through a vetting
process and then we mail out checks. Really nice, wow,
I know, just giving that right?
Speaker 3 (09:48):
How many charities do you think?
Speaker 5 (09:50):
We last year donated to over two thousand wows.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
In the three states.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
And then we have also our partners and one of
them happens to be Bruno with Godina's Club and the Postathon.
So it's really exciting to be a part of it.
But our goal is to give back to those nonprofits
that fall under our pillars of focus and they are
five Health and Wellness, Education Team, Sports, Youth Development, Hunger relief,
(10:18):
and disaster relief.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
How cool is that picture with Chef Bruno and the Pope?
Speaker 2 (10:22):
What a flex i know that's so.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
I need a blessing like that, right, that's.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Quite the Italian specifically. Yeah, and you guys have been
partnering with Katerina's Club and our postathon for several years
now and have made a huge difference. So I mean
on behalf of everybody that works on this side of it.
We want to thank you for helping out.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
We really appreciate it.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
We've been a part of it now for seven years
and it's been really exciting. And we love to engage
with your listeners that come into our stores and specifically
tell our associates we're here to donate to the Postathon.
We heard about it on your show, we heard about
it on someone else's show. You know, it's really exciting.
(11:07):
It could be you know, Gary and Tanner told us
to come in and we need to donate, or whoever.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
It might be.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
So it's really exciting.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
They do listen and they do follow directions very family.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
They know the assignment.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
They do the assignment each year this time of year.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
What kind of feedback do you guys get in terms
of the success of the programs that you help out.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
Great feedback from just here with the pastadon or across
the board everything. So we hear a lot from a
smaller group of organizations. So a lot of organizations that
donate back to the communities they serve, just like us
a grocer. We tend to give back to those smaller
organizations like boys and girls clubs, little leagues, because little
(11:50):
leagues aren't asking for big dollars, they're asking for two
or three hundred, and we give back to hundreds of
those boy Scouts, girls Scouts, all the small ones, and
they go, you know, we just ask for a little
bit of money, but everybody ignores us.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
You guys, actually listen, and.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
You're giving back to us. So they feel the support
when they come to us and they ask for those dollars.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Well, it's also building the bond for a lifetime with
the community with you know, the kids remember that, oh
smart and final donated our uniforms or what have you.
You remember that, and then you know you're creating the
family and that community.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
Absolutely, and they're able to come back to us every
twelve months and reapply for dollars. So we do create
that family because they are continuously coming back. Yes, and
the parents appreciate it because it helps them out as.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Well, smart business model doing good, isn't it doing the good?
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Well? Once again, we thank you for the all of
the support that you have given Katerina's Club and pastathon
through KFI and allowing us to take over your public
address systems in the stores every once in a while,
because I've heard friends of mine have said that they've
heard our voices over the PA.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
We apologize for We appreciate it.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
Are you kidding?
Speaker 2 (13:07):
But it's great? Tina Marie squarey Yes from Smart and Final,
the director of their charitable foundation, Thanks for coming out.
Thanks again for everything that you've done.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
We appreciate you guys as well.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Thank you absolutely. In a reminder, you can go to
any Smart and Final store donate any amount at the
checkout stand through Sunday through December eighth.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Correct, where were you yesterday afternoon?
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Do you have an alibi?
Speaker 2 (13:33):
I think so? You think so? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (13:35):
That sounds guilty?
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Well, man, I have I know where I was?
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Does anybody else know where you were?
Speaker 2 (13:40):
My wife? Why what happened?
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Well that's spousal privilege number one.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
So she doesn't have to testify against me.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Right, Yeah, But it doesn't clear you because somebody has
stolen a van with twenty five hundred savory pies.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
I'm not a savory pie guy though.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Now it happened, But how did you know. You just
saw the pie box in the van. You didn't know
if it was blueberry or pumpkin.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
You would have done it for a key line or
some sort of mince meat of some.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Kind sort of mince meat.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
It happened outside of London, so you would have had
to get out there quick and then make it back.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
I'd still be on the plane, wouldn't I.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
But the chef is urging the people who stole this
van with twenty five hundred pies to do the right
thing and donate the pies. He says, take the van,
but please donate the pies to a local charity or
community center or something like that. The chef, by the way,
owns two Michelin starred restaurants. So these are really, really,
really good pies. They might even be mince meat pies
(14:38):
you would enjoy.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Yeah, but they're the savory kind, so that means they're
going to be like a meat a turkey pot pie.
Turkey pot pie, you watch your PADH wait a minute,
I might, but it's not the same as an apple
pie or a Dutch apple pie, or a mixberry pie
or a cherry pie. It was a cargo strawberry pie, cheesecake.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
They were turkey and butternut squash pies. That's they've been
valued at thirty two thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
WHOA, yeah, that is a significant stick to my ghetto pie.
Significant pie. Thank you. You have your good news story
coming up here in just a second, But first I
wanted to say a special thank you to the beautiful
Hilton Anaheim the KFI Pastathon Crewe stayed there last night,

(15:25):

Speaker 2 (15:49):
Yeah, that's right. So there was a guy and on
good news? Is that your good news music? No is
showing me the boot?
Speaker 3 (16:01):
I mean yes, but maybe not appropriate.
Speaker 6 (16:04):
Jesus, we'll just do the piano music.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
A man in Baltimore, Maryland.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
I was gonna make a really dirty joke, but I didn't,
so I just want to let you know I'm showing growth.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Do you want to write it down and share it
to the front row? No?
Speaker 1 (16:25):
No, so A man in Baltimore, Maryland, his name is Dan.
He backed into a woman's car, but it was at
night and so he couldn't see what damage it was.
She wasn't there, so he leaves a note.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
And she texts him.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
He leaves the notes, Hey, sorry, I backed into your car.
Here's my number. She The woman texts him the next day.
I got your note on my car last night. Honestly,
I didn't really see any damage. Maybe the lights played
a slightly crunched question mark. Did you just back straight
into the front I didn't see anything else that wasn't
already there, unless my bumper randomly falls off while I'm driving.
(17:08):
I think you're good. Thanks so much for leaving the note.
I really appreciate it. Well, not nice, but if you're
going to run into a car, make sure it's a
real clunker.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
So she didn't even know where the car was hit exactly, okay, yeah,
indicator of how bad the car was to begin with.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
He writes back, do you want to be the guy?
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Oh? Hi, I think I backed into your driver door.
It wasn't too hard, but it was late and it
was dark, so I really couldn't see much. But it
looked like I may have dented the door. I wasn't sure,
so I just wanted to leave my number. She writes back,
Oh no, it was already dented. He writes, lol, face
(17:49):
palm emoji, thank goodness. I was like, oh no, what
have I done?
Speaker 3 (17:54):
She says, You're totally fine.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
The car has four hundred and fifteen thousand miles on it. Literally,
as long as it runs, I do not care. Hope
you have a great Sunday.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
And he says, we didn't have a pen, so I
went to the liquor store on the corner to write
the note and felt terrible. Thanks for being so great,
she just wrote back, and then he wrote, Oh, wow,
your car is amazing.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Also you that's a little bit too much over the line,
A little bit.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Yeah, omg, haha, that's so nice. No worries at all.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Have a wonderful day you too.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Both are being lauded as the King and Queen of
niceties on Reddit and wherever else this story lives, Like
can you.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Believe these people? They're like heroes. That's how broken of
a people we've become. Like that's not that I mean, that's.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
That's what you should do, right, that's how we should behave.
But because we're so full of a holary, this is
being held up. Is like this great story, like this
is just common decency. When did common decency become so rarefied?
Speaker 2 (18:56):
It's it is, Well, every time you see something on
the freeway on the drive to work, I always think
someone's yelling at somebody, somebody did something wrong, or March
I think it was March or April of this year.
I'm driving down I five southbound headed to work. So
it's what seven in the morning, except it's busy, busy, busy,
(19:17):
and a car in front of me slows down, so
I slow down, and I see behind me that guy's
not slowing down. It's a young guy driving a Tesla
and he is not paying attention, and the windshield wipers
are going even though it's a perfectly clear day. So
my conclusion is he has no idea what he's doing.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Doesn't the Tesla drive itself though.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
So here's the point. He gets right up to the
end of the car, I mean the back of my car,
and I feel it. He bumps my car. Ugh, okay, great,
now this is gonna take forever. We got to pull
all the way over. We get to the side he
follows me. He at least knows that much, right. He
jumps out of his car and he's super apologetic. I
(20:00):
am so sorry. I didn't I didn't even see that
you had stopped. I wasn't paying attention. I was like, duh,
clearly uh, he says, I'm so whatever you need. He
starts pulling out paperwork, just random paper. He pulled out
his passport, He pulled out like all kinds of receipts
from the CVS. He says, whatever you need, I will
take care of this. I am so sorry. I'm so sorry.
(20:20):
So I look at my car the first time and
I realize his car had stopped at the perfect moment.
He didn't because he wasn't paying attention, right, But his
car was smart enough to stop at the perfect moment
that it left a little line of dust on the
bumper of my car, zero debt and then your little thumb,
(20:42):
little licket, like you know, Grandma's wiping pie off your face.
I did that to the bumper. It's gone. Yeah, it
was perfect, Everything was fine. I didn't even know what.
I don't know why I felt it if it left
such little damage to the car.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
I love the cars that drive themselves.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
And he was just the nicest, and I felt bad
because he was super nervous, and he thought I was
going to come out yelling at him.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Right look at you.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
What a monster, what a awful person.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
I would have profiled you too.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
So somewhere that guy is not having increased insurance premiums.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Maybe we should all be nicer to each other so
that we don't have to make news with common.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Decens Maybe we could start with this one right here,
Amy King. Yeah, she could start being nicer to people.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
What it's not her fault she doesn't like you.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
It's my wait, it's my fault.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Now she did not deny that fiat.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
I know I didn't.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Trying to be agreeable to all sides.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
So yes, I need to grill Debra about this, because
Deborah has plans to dress John up again today.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Oh and she's over here going razing roof. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
John yesterday said, well this all started with you, And
I said, what are you talking about? And he's like,
used to put me in row homes. I don't think
that was my idea. Why would that ever have been
your idea? Yeah, I'm like, I would never have had
that idea, John, I.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Mean you supported the idea, sure, you comical, but I
wasn't like, I know, I want to put him in
a rowe you went row shopping the night before.

Jen Alpha's.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
I can't even with this sentence.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Let start with NBC News.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Jen Alpha's hyper online manner of speaking has officially entered
the zeitgeist.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
That's a lot.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Oxford University has announced that brain rot is the twenty
twenty four word of the year. First of all, it's
two words, but second of all, I do like them
highlighting brain rot. This is, of course, the deterioration of
a person's mental or intellectual state because of this.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Deep doo doot deep deep doot, just spending so much
time online over consumption of material that is considered to
be trivial or unchallenging think TikTok or Instagram or Twitter
or something like that.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Fascinating that it was originated in Henry David Throw's eighteen
fifty four book Walden. That's when the first use of
brain rot was documented. So Henry David Throw, a great thinker,
great mind, thought that our decline began as early as
eighteen fifty four.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
He was already calling his shot.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
The president of Oxford Languages listen to this name, Casper Grathwall.
That's a particularly British name. Casper Grathwall said. These communities
have amplified the expression through social media channels, the very
place said to cause brain rod. It demonstrates a somewhat
cheeky self awareness in the younger generations about the harmful
(25:17):
impact of social media that they have inherited. Inherited. Yes,
I mean there is some blame. I suppose that we
have older generations have for putting it out there for
these people. But they don't have to. They don't have
to continue to while away the hours, constantly scrolling through TikTok.
You know what Walden was about. I do not. I've
(25:39):
not read that.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
It was about Henry David Thurreau living in a cabin,
essentially living in nature and just cutting off from all
this frivolity for sity, frivolity, frivolity, and just noting what
it does for the mind to be in nature and
living in a cab and you're a pond and turning
(26:01):
off all the noise, And isn't that the way it is? Like,
I am a happy So the flight back from Atlanta
on Sunday night, there was no Wi Fi, so you
couldn't really do this and text and look at all
the things and watch all the games. You had to
just kind of like I don't know, read a book
(26:22):
or if you down downloaded something, just watch a movie
without any other sort of side stimulation.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
And it was really just talk to neighbor.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
It was Matt. Where am I going to talk to
mad about that? I haven't talked to Mad about.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
I don't know. That's just a Amy made. Amy made
a point.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
I did talk to Matt a lot on that flight,
and it was nice, just like having a human conversation.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Did you say at some point, well, what are we
going to talk about now?
Speaker 1 (26:49):
I said, Actually, what I said to him was, God,
this whole no Wi Fi thing is really the sucks.
And he's like, why because you want to be connected
and you want to text. And I was like, oh
my god. And that was the moment of I could
just be a human and.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
Talk to you.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Yeah. But like you said, what have you what have
you not said to him? You've traveled with him enough.
Amy makes a point that that's that plot of Walden
sounds a lot like the Hanna Kobayashi story.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Goodbye Family, Hello Woods.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
She wants to get out of there.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
It does.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
It does really feel good if you like go camping
or something, or just out hiking walking around.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
It just feels better for your mind.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Are you a barefoot in the grass person? I feel
like I enjoy barefoot in the grass. People talk about
that whole touch grass where it grounds you. You feel
like it's more than just I get to breathe fresh air,
that there's something bigger there.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
There's a few players that do that before a game.
Derwin James being one of them, goes out onto the
field every before every game, with his bare feet and
takes a couple of laps just feeling the grass.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Yeah, even if it's not real, right, yeah, this brain?
Speaker 3 (28:01):
Do you want to take your shoes off right now?
Speaker 2 (28:03):
I have taken my shoes off many times, okay, and
put them back on already, so.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
Oh today already?
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (28:09):
Why what's going on you?
Speaker 2 (28:10):
I just want to touch the ground. I don't know,
I want to touch the nice tile or something.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
This term brain rot, they said, is often used. Uh
is a humorous, self deprecating manner, and it goes with
words like sigma someone who is cool or a leader. Uh,
you're gonna have to tell me how to pronounce that
right there? G y a T T gat an exclamation
for a curvacous woman, and skibbeity. Why are we.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Making up new words? Why can't we just say a
curvacous woman?
Speaker 2 (28:43):
What do we have to call her?
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Gat?
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Skibbity toilet, skibbitty toilet? What is that? I don't know?
Do not know?
Speaker 1 (28:50):
A term derived from a YouTube series that is now
used to mean basically anything.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
That's like we're back in the eighties where they're set
up with dumb people came up with smurf, and smurf
meant something you would replace. It would replace all the
other adjectives and nouns and.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
Smurf di it.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Yeah, I mean in the show, not not an actual
human community.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
I'm ready to go live in the woods.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Wait for the skippity toilet. I'll just take my shoes
off just in case. All right, we're live today at
the fourteenth Annuel Kfi Pasta though on the Anaheim White
House Restaurant. Come on out and say hi. We'll be
here until one o'clock and then John's going to show
up at one. Conways here at four, Moe Kelly is
coming up at seven. We're gonna be here all day long.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Has anybody played Connections yet? Today?
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Man, they are playing dirty today. They are playing super dirty.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
A bat warning when we come back dirty Dirty.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
They're just playing trying to trick you.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
She hasn't gotten any of it. Did you get it?
Speaker 3 (29:49):
I did these four and that was wrong.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Did you get the one the other day where it
had rubber baby buggy bumper.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
In the clues.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Yeah, but that wasn't one of the connections right that.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
Yeah, they're messing with us.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Playing dirty. Okay, relax, three game suspension.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Will continue right after this you've been listening to The
Gary and Shannon Show. You can always hear us live
on KFI AM six forty nine am to one pm
every Monday through Friday, and anytime on demand on the
iHeartRadio app
This is Gary and Shannon, and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app. Okay, so I kind of stumbled
into it when I was just talking to you about
it yesterday about this isn't really about the guns and
the taxes. You know, there's there's so much more serious stuff.
And wait a minute, and my conspiracy theory picked up.
(00:21):
The snowball continued this morning when I was.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Lying in bed, stop doing that thinking of.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Joe Biden in bed, I know, right, So like I know,
I can't help it.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
And so I start thinking to.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Myself, this wasn't a I love my son, I'm giving
him a pardon. This was Hunter falling on the sword
for the entire Biden family.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
That's what this was.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
I'm convinced that the charges that the Justice Department brought
up on Hunter, that they had this all figured out.
They were doing the calculus of this that if we
charge him with guns up and tax stuff and then
he falls on the sword for this, I can pardon
him and then all the other stuff goes away.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
It just goes with this.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Our whole familial criminal enterprise goes away.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
You have weird thoughts in the middle of the morning.
Welcome everybody. We are live today at the Anaheim Whitehouse Restaurant.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
I've been thinking about this for hours.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
For our fourteenth Annuel postathon. Thanks for coming out, everybody
that's here. Wow, that was very quiet. Thanks everybody for
coming out.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Like all the money laundering stuff in Ukraine, the board
and the LLC's and everything.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Arguably the most sweeping pardon any president has given anybody
for anything.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
And why the time stamp of eleven years something?
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Somebody knows something.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Somebody knows something. Joe Biden suddenly looks brilliant.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Chuck Todd, by the way, an NBC guy, longtime analyst
with NBC, knows the Biden family, admits that he knows
a new beau and has spent time with Hunter. Apparently,
he said Joe Biden actually needs therapy because he says
that Joe Biden has not processed Bo's death completely and
(02:13):
that this is this is a fas fragment of that.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Bless his heart, that's not what it is.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
He said. He's that Joe's second guess is everything he's
done with raising Hunter versus raising Bow. If anybody has
multiple kids. You know, you could bring up two kids
in the same house completely and they are wildly differ.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
My mom says that all the time. I can't believe
you and your brother are both raised in the same house.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I say that about my kids. There are such different people, right,
So I don't know why he feels guilt about that,
other than it's just a family thing, I think. I
think speaking of a family thing.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
The reason I was so confident in my conspiracy theory
this morning is because I got a couple of text
messages last night to the effective you nailed it about
the girl missing, the missing girlfriend Hawaii. Yeah, and now
it's come out that she went to Mexico willingly. She'd
been talking in the past about wanting to disconnect from
this connected world in terms of probably her family's too
(03:10):
connected to.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Her, and she just took off.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
She thirty year old woman decided that she wanted to
go to La spend some time, maybe go to a
Lebron event, and then go to Mexico to un her
crazy ass family is still screaming from the rooftops and
jumping from them.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
And here's the thing is it is.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
It It was a week ago, Come on, this Giving
Tuesday is softening everyone's heart.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Yeah, this Giving Tuesday. By the way, we have our
nine o'clock total for Pastathon numbers. Don't forget you can
always go to pastathon dot com, go to KFI AM
six forty dot com slash Pastathon donate their online. We
have auction items we'll talk about throughout the show. As
of nine AM, one hundred and twenty two thousand, six
(04:00):
hundred and seventy eight dollars.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Yes, that's huge nine AM number six three and seventeen
pounds of pasta and sauce already collected.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Yummy.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
So we are going to be at Anaheim White House
Restaurant all day today. We'll be here through ten o'clock
tonight with Mo Kelly and UH and his gang of
rowdy rap scallions. I think is this the way that
they've branded the show lately?
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Really?
Speaker 2 (04:24):
But before that Conway, before that John Coebelt, and then
we have several hours to get through. We've got Amy
King Okay, Yeah, is everything working? Okay?
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Where are we going to annoy you? If we stand
this close to you usually get to be around the hole.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
The corn are kind of intruding on my space but
I'm okay with it.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
If we stand even closer to you, is it more annoy.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Make it weird? So make it weird.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
You didn't ask you for consent, she said to me
as she finished the newscast right at the top of
the hour, She's.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
What'd you say? You guys are annoying? No, what was
the word? We are just eruptive, Like when we come
in and start putting our stuff up, we're disruptive. I
see that. I think you did great despite all the disruption.
Thanks fantastic, perfectly.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
I like that you guys are actually sitting next to
me because when Bill came in this morning, he said,
where are you sitting?
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Amy?
Speaker 1 (05:14):
And I sit here, and he goes, I need to
get as far away from her as possible, and he's
so he was on the other end, why do you
say that about you?
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Because he's mean, you're Amy King.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Everybody loves you. You're like Disneyland. I do like Disneyland.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
You smell like Disneyland, sugar sugar and cinnamon sugar and
everything nice. So we will be out here again, Pastathon
at Anaheim White House Restaurant all day today and we'll
talk about our auction item when we come back. We
have some special guests that we're going to be inviting
onto the show. We'll talk with Chef Bruno a little
bit later in the show as well.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Isn't that a nice story I found about the guy
who left the note after rear ending the car.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
It's highly unusual, and I feel like it's fake.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Really.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
I don't know if that's because I have a dark
heart to think that people couldn't be that nice. But
I had something similar happened to me. It was earlier
this year, something similar to that note.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Oh, I can't wait to hear it.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
All right, Gary and Shannon will continue. We're live today
Anaheim White House Restaurant for our fourteenth annual Pastathon. Come
on out, say hi, drop by, drop off your pasta
and sauce will be out here all day long.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
We are live at the Anaheim a White House Restaurant
for our annual Pastathon. This is all about coming together,
kicking off the holiday season, together to help kids who
are hungry in Orange County.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
It's hard to believe that that is the case, and
it is the case.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Katerina's Club, of Course, provides more than twenty five thousand
meals every week to kids in need in southern California.
So today and your generosity and everybody being here and
donating pasta and money and sauce and everything makes all
the difference.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Well, you were lying in bed thinking to Joe Biden
this morning. I realized that there for the last several years,
fourteen years, there has been a common thread through this
time of year. For me. We go from Thanksgiving, we
do Pastathon, I have a wedding anniversary, and then we
do Christmas like and for some reason, uh, when I
(07:12):
see Bruno, I think of my wife as I know
that my anniversary is coming up next.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
That is beautiful.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
How can you never help me remember my anniversary.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Anniversary is August eleventh? Right? Yes, okay, yes, because I
was at the wedding.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
No, you were, Yeah, I don't know why.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
It's always a surprise, wait for you or for me,
for you up on me for some reason. Did you
hear about Joe Biden by the way in Angola?
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Do you hear what he shouted to the delegation.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
So he's stuck in questions about the party, and then
all of a sudden, all.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
He says is welcome to America. He's in Angola, like.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Did he think he was watching the movie? Was okay?
The other big international story is going on right now.
For the first time in almost fifty years, emergency martial
law has been declared in South Korea.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
It looks very January sixth.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
E yeah, except it's communists from North and communist sympathizers
from North Korea who have made their way into the
parliament building with parliamentary security now trying to keep them out.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
But what's up with the South Korean president? Isn't he
cuckoo pants?
Speaker 2 (08:30):
I don't think that's how you pronounce it.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
But it's Giving Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
It's not I say that you were pronouncing his name wrong.
But the president did say he was going to eradicate
these pro North Korean forces protect the constitutional democratic order.
It's very late at night, if not early in the
morning there tomorrow, I think, is how you say it
in South Korea. So we will keep an eye on that.
(08:57):
If anything comes out of there, we'll definitely bring it to.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
One of our major partners for pastathon is Smart and Final.
Smart and Final accepts donations there at the check stand
at the locations the Smart and Final Charitable Foundation with
us here today.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Tina Marie Skieri. Is that right square Squarrey that I
screw it up routine. Yeah, there's a lot of extra
vowels in that name right there. Yeah, So all you
no kidding? You're the director of the Charitable Foundation for
Smart and File. First of all, tell us about what
the charitable foundation is and what it does.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
So I'm so fortunate and blessed to be a part
of it. We actually allow nonprofits in California, Arizona, Nevada
to request donations through us. We go through a vetting
process and then we mail out checks. Really nice, wow,
I know, just giving that right?
Speaker 3 (09:48):
How many charities do you think?
Speaker 5 (09:50):
We last year donated to over two thousand wows.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
In the three states.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
And then we have also our partners and one of
them happens to be Bruno with Godina's Club and the Postathon.
So it's really exciting to be a part of it.
But our goal is to give back to those nonprofits
that fall under our pillars of focus and they are
five Health and Wellness, Education Team, Sports, Youth Development, Hunger relief,
(10:18):
and disaster relief.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
How cool is that picture with Chef Bruno and the Pope?
Speaker 2 (10:22):
What a flex i know that's so.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
I need a blessing like that, right, that's.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Quite the Italian specifically. Yeah, and you guys have been
partnering with Katerina's Club and our postathon for several years
now and have made a huge difference. So I mean
on behalf of everybody that works on this side of it.
We want to thank you for helping out.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
We really appreciate it.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
We've been a part of it now for seven years
and it's been really exciting. And we love to engage
with your listeners that come into our stores and specifically
tell our associates we're here to donate to the Postathon.
We heard about it on your show, we heard about
it on someone else's show. You know, it's really exciting.
(11:07):
It could be you know, Gary and Tanner told us
to come in and we need to donate, or whoever.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
It might be.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
So it's really exciting.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
They do listen and they do follow directions very family.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
They know the assignment.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
They do the assignment each year this time of year.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
What kind of feedback do you guys get in terms
of the success of the programs that you help out.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
Great feedback from just here with the pastadon or across
the board everything. So we hear a lot from a
smaller group of organizations. So a lot of organizations that
donate back to the communities they serve, just like us
a grocer. We tend to give back to those smaller
organizations like boys and girls clubs, little leagues, because little
(11:50):
leagues aren't asking for big dollars, they're asking for two
or three hundred, and we give back to hundreds of
those boy Scouts, girls Scouts, all the small ones, and
they go, you know, we just ask for a little
bit of money, but everybody ignores us.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
You guys, actually listen, and.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
You're giving back to us. So they feel the support
when they come to us and they ask for those dollars.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Well, it's also building the bond for a lifetime with
the community with you know, the kids remember that, oh
smart and final donated our uniforms or what have you.
You remember that, and then you know you're creating the
family and that community.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
Absolutely, and they're able to come back to us every
twelve months and reapply for dollars. So we do create
that family because they are continuously coming back. Yes, and
the parents appreciate it because it helps them out as.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Well, smart business model doing good, isn't it doing the good?
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Well? Once again, we thank you for the all of
the support that you have given Katerina's Club and pastathon
through KFI and allowing us to take over your public
address systems in the stores every once in a while,
because I've heard friends of mine have said that they've
heard our voices over the PA.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
We apologize for We appreciate it.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
Are you kidding?
Speaker 2 (13:07):
But it's great? Tina Marie squarey Yes from Smart and Final,
the director of their charitable foundation, Thanks for coming out.
Thanks again for everything that you've done.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
We appreciate you guys as well.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Thank you absolutely. In a reminder, you can go to
any Smart and Final store donate any amount at the
checkout stand through Sunday through December eighth.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Correct, where were you yesterday afternoon?
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Do you have an alibi?
Speaker 2 (13:33):
I think so? You think so? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (13:35):
That sounds guilty?
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Well, man, I have I know where I was?
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Does anybody else know where you were?
Speaker 2 (13:40):
My wife? Why what happened?
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Well that's spousal privilege number one.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
So she doesn't have to testify against me.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Right, Yeah, But it doesn't clear you because somebody has
stolen a van with twenty five hundred savory pies.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
I'm not a savory pie guy though.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Now it happened, But how did you know. You just
saw the pie box in the van. You didn't know
if it was blueberry or pumpkin.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
You would have done it for a key line or
some sort of mince meat of some.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Kind sort of mince meat.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
It happened outside of London, so you would have had
to get out there quick and then make it back.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
I'd still be on the plane, wouldn't I.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
But the chef is urging the people who stole this
van with twenty five hundred pies to do the right
thing and donate the pies. He says, take the van,
but please donate the pies to a local charity or
community center or something like that. The chef, by the way,
owns two Michelin starred restaurants. So these are really, really,
really good pies. They might even be mince meat pies
(14:38):
you would enjoy.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Yeah, but they're the savory kind, so that means they're
going to be like a meat a turkey pot pie.
Turkey pot pie, you watch your PADH wait a minute,
I might, but it's not the same as an apple
pie or a Dutch apple pie, or a mixberry pie
or a cherry pie. It was a cargo strawberry pie, cheesecake.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
They were turkey and butternut squash pies. That's they've been
valued at thirty two thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
WHOA, yeah, that is a significant stick to my ghetto pie.
Significant pie. Thank you. You have your good news story

I mean yes, but maybe not appropriate.
Speaker 6 (16:04):
Jesus, we'll just do the piano music.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
A man in Baltimore, Maryland.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
I was gonna make a really dirty joke, but I didn't,
so I just want to let you know I'm showing growth.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Do you want to write it down and share it
to the front row? No?
Speaker 1 (16:25):
No, so A man in Baltimore, Maryland, his name is Dan.
He backed into a woman's car, but it was at
night and so he couldn't see what damage it was.
She wasn't there, so he leaves a note.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
And she texts him.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
He leaves the notes, Hey, sorry, I backed into your car.
Here's my number. She The woman texts him the next day.
I got your note on my car last night. Honestly,
I didn't really see any damage. Maybe the lights played
a slightly crunched question mark. Did you just back straight
into the front I didn't see anything else that wasn't
already there, unless my bumper randomly falls off while I'm driving.
(17:08):
I think you're good. Thanks so much for leaving the note.
I really appreciate it. Well, not nice, but if you're
going to run into a car, make sure it's a
real clunker.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
So she didn't even know where the car was hit exactly, okay, yeah,
indicator of how bad the car was to begin with.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
He writes back, do you want to be the guy?
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Oh? Hi, I think I backed into your driver door.
It wasn't too hard, but it was late and it
was dark, so I really couldn't see much. But it
looked like I may have dented the door. I wasn't sure,
so I just wanted to leave my number. She writes back,
Oh no, it was already dented. He writes, lol, face
(17:49):
palm emoji, thank goodness. I was like, oh no, what
have I done?
Speaker 3 (17:54):
She says, You're totally fine.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
The car has four hundred and fifteen thousand miles on it. Literally,
as long as it runs, I do not care. Hope
you have a great Sunday.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
And he says, we didn't have a pen, so I
went to the liquor store on the corner to write
the note and felt terrible. Thanks for being so great,
she just wrote back, and then he wrote, Oh, wow,
your car is amazing.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Also you that's a little bit too much over the line,
A little bit.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Yeah, omg, haha, that's so nice. No worries at all.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Have a wonderful day you too.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Both are being lauded as the King and Queen of
niceties on Reddit and wherever else this story lives, Like
can you.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Believe these people? They're like heroes. That's how broken of
a people we've become. Like that's not that I mean, that's.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
That's what you should do, right, that's how we should behave.
But because we're so full of a holary, this is
being held up. Is like this great story, like this
is just common decency. When did common decency become so rarefied?
Speaker 2 (18:56):
It's it is, Well, every time you see something on
the freeway on the drive to work, I always think
someone's yelling at somebody, somebody did something wrong, or March
I think it was March or April of this year.
I'm driving down I five southbound headed to work. So
it's what seven in the morning, except it's busy, busy, busy,
(19:17):
and a car in front of me slows down, so
I slow down, and I see behind me that guy's
not slowing down. It's a young guy driving a Tesla
and he is not paying attention, and the windshield wipers
are going even though it's a perfectly clear day. So
my conclusion is he has no idea what he's doing.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Doesn't the Tesla drive itself though.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
So here's the point. He gets right up to the
end of the car, I mean the back of my car,
and I feel it. He bumps my car. Ugh, okay, great,
now this is gonna take forever. We got to pull
all the way over. We get to the side he
follows me. He at least knows that much, right. He
jumps out of his car and he's super apologetic. I
(20:00):
am so sorry. I didn't I didn't even see that
you had stopped. I wasn't paying attention. I was like, duh,
clearly uh, he says, I'm so whatever you need. He
starts pulling out paperwork, just random paper. He pulled out
his passport, He pulled out like all kinds of receipts
from the CVS. He says, whatever you need, I will
take care of this. I am so sorry. I'm so sorry.
(20:20):
So I look at my car the first time and
I realize his car had stopped at the perfect moment.
He didn't because he wasn't paying attention, right, But his
car was smart enough to stop at the perfect moment
that it left a little line of dust on the
bumper of my car, zero debt and then your little thumb,
(20:42):
little licket, like you know, Grandma's wiping pie off your face.
I did that to the bumper. It's gone. Yeah, it
was perfect, Everything was fine. I didn't even know what.
I don't know why I felt it if it left
such little damage to the car.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
I love the cars that drive themselves.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
And he was just the nicest, and I felt bad
because he was super nervous, and he thought I was
going to come out yelling at him.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Right look at you.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
What a monster, what a awful person.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
I would have profiled you too.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
So somewhere that guy is not having increased insurance premiums.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Maybe we should all be nicer to each other so
that we don't have to make news with common.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Decens Maybe we could start with this one right here,
Amy King. Yeah, she could start being nicer to people.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
What it's not her fault she doesn't like you.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
It's my wait, it's my fault.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Now she did not deny that fiat.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
I know I didn't.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Trying to be agreeable to all sides.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
So yes, I need to grill Debra about this, because
Deborah has plans to dress John up again today.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Oh and she's over here going razing roof. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
John yesterday said, well this all started with you, And
I said, what are you talking about? And he's like,
used to put me in row homes. I don't think
that was my idea. Why would that ever have been
your idea? Yeah, I'm like, I would never have had
that idea, John, I.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Mean you supported the idea, sure, you comical, but I
wasn't like, I know, I want to put him in
a rowe you went row shopping the night before.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Didn't sound like me.

Jen Alpha's.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
I can't even with this sentence.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Let start with NBC News.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Jen Alpha's hyper online manner of speaking has officially entered
the zeitgeist.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
That's a lot.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Oxford University has announced that brain rot is the twenty
twenty four word of the year. First of all, it's
two words, but second of all, I do like them
highlighting brain rot. This is, of course, the deterioration of
a person's mental or intellectual state because of this.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Deep doo doot deep deep doot, just spending so much
time online over consumption of material that is considered to
be trivial or unchallenging think TikTok or Instagram or Twitter
or something like that.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Fascinating that it was originated in Henry David Throw's eighteen
fifty four book Walden. That's when the first use of
brain rot was documented. So Henry David Throw, a great thinker,
great mind, thought that our decline began as early as
eighteen fifty four.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
He was already calling his shot.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
The president of Oxford Languages listen to this name, Casper Grathwall.
That's a particularly British name. Casper Grathwall said. These communities
have amplified the expression through social media channels, the very
place said to cause brain rod. It demonstrates a somewhat
cheeky self awareness in the younger generations about the harmful
(25:17):
impact of social media that they have inherited. Inherited. Yes,
I mean there is some blame. I suppose that we
have older generations have for putting it out there for
these people. But they don't have to. They don't have
to continue to while away the hours, constantly scrolling through TikTok.
You know what Walden was about. I do not. I've
(25:39):
not read that.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
It was about Henry David Thurreau living in a cabin,
essentially living in nature and just cutting off from all
this frivolity for sity, frivolity, frivolity, and just noting what
it does for the mind to be in nature and
living in a cab and you're a pond and turning
(26:01):
off all the noise, And isn't that the way it is? Like,
I am a happy So the flight back from Atlanta
on Sunday night, there was no Wi Fi, so you
couldn't really do this and text and look at all
the things and watch all the games. You had to
just kind of like I don't know, read a book
(26:22):
or if you down downloaded something, just watch a movie
without any other sort of side stimulation.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
And it was really just talk to neighbor.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
It was Matt. Where am I going to talk to
mad about that? I haven't talked to Mad about.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
I don't know. That's just a Amy made. Amy made
a point.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
I did talk to Matt a lot on that flight,
and it was nice, just like having a human conversation.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Did you say at some point, well, what are we
going to talk about now?
Speaker 1 (26:49):
I said, Actually, what I said to him was, God,
this whole no Wi Fi thing is really the sucks.
And he's like, why because you want to be connected
and you want to text. And I was like, oh
my god. And that was the moment of I could
just be a human and.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
Talk to you.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Yeah. But like you said, what have you what have
you not said to him? You've traveled with him enough.
Amy makes a point that that's that plot of Walden
sounds a lot like the Hanna Kobayashi story.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Goodbye Family, Hello Woods.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
She wants to get out of there.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
It does.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
It does really feel good if you like go camping
or something, or just out hiking walking around.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
It just feels better for your mind.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Are you a barefoot in the grass person? I feel
like I enjoy barefoot in the grass. People talk about
that whole touch grass where it grounds you. You feel
like it's more than just I get to breathe fresh air,
that there's something bigger there.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
There's a few players that do that before a game.
Derwin James being one of them, goes out onto the
field every before every game, with his bare feet and
takes a couple of laps just feeling the grass.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Yeah, even if it's not real, right, yeah, this brain?
Speaker 3 (28:01):
Do you want to take your shoes off right now?
Speaker 2 (28:03):
I have taken my shoes off many times, okay, and
put them back on already, so.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
Oh today already?
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (28:09):
Why what's going on you?
Speaker 2 (28:10):
I just want to touch the ground. I don't know,
I want to touch the nice tile or something.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
This term brain rot, they said, is often used. Uh
is a humorous, self deprecating manner, and it goes with
words like sigma someone who is cool or a leader. Uh,
you're gonna have to tell me how to pronounce that
right there? G y a T T gat an exclamation
for a curvacous woman, and skibbeity. Why are we.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Making up new words? Why can't we just say a
curvacous woman?
Speaker 2 (28:43):
What do we have to call her?
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Gat?
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Skibbity toilet, skibbitty toilet? What is that? I don't know?
Do not know?
Speaker 1 (28:50):
A term derived from a YouTube series that is now
used to mean basically anything.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
That's like we're back in the eighties where they're set
up with dumb people came up with smurf, and smurf
meant something you would replace. It would replace all the
other adjectives and nouns and.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
Smurf di it.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Yeah, I mean in the show, not not an actual
human community.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
I'm ready to go live in the woods.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Wait for the skippity toilet. I'll just take my shoes
off just in case. All right, we're live today at
