Oh man? Well, we just had our twenty sixth anniversary,
twenty seven, almost thirty years.
Speaker 6 (00:47):
When did you first meet me?
Speaker 3 (00:49):
I was visiting my brother, who you went to Chico's
state with right a million years.
Speaker 6 (00:57):
Ago looking for something more specific.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
But I was living in Sacramento, you were living in Chico.
I was leaving at sacrament And to go see my brother,
not because we were close, but because I had a
psychoic's boyfriend that I was trying to escape right, and
would have to spend the weekend with him. And we
went to the movies with your brother, with my brother
and his gaggle of friends, and you were in that gaggle.
Speaker 6 (01:22):
But what day was it? It was a Sunday, It was,
you know, a year.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Why do you do this?
Speaker 6 (01:30):
Because you know I'm not good with I remember so
much better than you do.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
No, you remember mind this thing like dates, but like
feelings and intention.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
And what was the reason I remember the date? Is
because I had feelings on that day. It was Sunday,
October eighth, nineteen ninety five. Well, that's easy because and
we went and saw the movie seven, Yes, on the eighth, Yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:56):
Okay, And then two days later was your birthday.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Yes, and I sent you fly despite having known you
for two three hours at that point.
Speaker 6 (02:04):
It's a big move, big bold moves.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:08):
Yeah, not low tee, not low t at all. Thank
you very much. What else is going on? Time for
what's happening?
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Well?
Speaker 7 (02:17):
The opening is sponsored by a water damage fire damage.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Burglary call public adjuster Abner GAS nine seven five to five.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
Sex.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
I don't think I'll ever remember. But the big story
you've heard Debra mention this a couple of times. A
car has driven into a crowd of people at a
Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany. Multiple victims, people have been
running in panic. Extensive police operations underway. There are dozens
and dozens of police and fire vehicles out in front
(02:49):
of this in front of this market in Magdeburg.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
And the driver of the car was arrested.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
At least one dead, several hurt. According to CNN, h
comes about eight years to the day after a tear
attack at a different German Christmas market, a man drove
a truck into a crowd at a market in Berlin.
Thirteen people were killed in that instance, and if we
get more information, we.
Speaker 6 (03:12):
Will bring it to you. The latest out of Washington,
d C.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
When it comes to the potential for a government shutdown,
it looks like the Republicans in the House are trying
to do sort of a three pronged version of a
bill similar to what they were going to pass, sorry,
similar to what they voted on last night but didn't pass.
They want to split these things up and have at
(03:36):
least some way. Plan C apparently looks like Plan B
broken into three different parts. And if they can do
it in the right way through committee. For example, they
don't need the two thirds vote, they can just do
it with a simple majority.
Speaker 6 (03:49):
So their clock is ticking.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Were less than nine hours away from a potential government shutdown.
Speaker 6 (03:55):
Could see some rain. Ooh, bring health, I think.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Just enough to get your windshield dirty.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Yeah, yeah, just this in southern California. It was the
first time I ever got a sunburn on Christmas Eve.
It was one of the very first years that we
lived here, and I had taken the kids to the park.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
I think so I could rap present.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
So you could rap presents.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
And I came back and I had a sunburn because
that's the weather we have around Christmas.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
DA and both of your children also had sunburns. You
forget that part.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
I only think about myself. The price of bitcoin is
down more than ten percent. After topping out at one
oh eight one hundred and eight thousand dollars for a
single bitcoin back on Tuesday, it's now down below ninety
three thousand once again, so a lot of people taken
turning in their bitcoins for the cash. If you're a
(04:44):
fan of watching the Vandenberg launches from the Vandenburg Space
Force Base, SpaceX has issued an advisory for counties of
Santa Barbara, San Luos, Obispo, and Ventura because of the
plans for a launch very early tomorrow morning. They said,
about three point thirty in the morning, they're launching another
(05:05):
Falcon nine rocket and it could create sonic booms in
the area. About eight minutes after liftoff, the rockets first
stage would land back at Vandenberg and they're saying that
that's what would cause the sonic booms. One or more
sonic booms coming back in for landing. It's part of
a Bandwagon mission Bandwagon two described as a rideshare mission
(05:29):
meant to deliver payloads into space. They have launched four
hundred and ten Falcon nine rockets into orbit. How do
you say that that's not a successful company.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Do they all come back?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
The rocket itself does? Yeah, the capsule itself I think
burns up on re entry.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
I just I imagine tons of detritis circling.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
Oh there is. It's awful.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
It's more polluted than insert name a very polluted thing here.
It's more it looks like the great garbage patch in
the North Pacific.
Speaker 6 (06:04):
The big guyer is.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
What that's said. We're not even there yet. We've already
ruined it.
Speaker 6 (06:09):
We're not even in space yet. We've been in space
for a while, you know what I mean. We don't
live there yet.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
A kangaroo named Rowdy is somewhere in Austin County, Texas.
Speaker 6 (06:23):
For some reason.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
You're allowed to have a kangaroo in Texas well, because
of freedom for one thing. But a family there in
Austin County is anxiously awaiting the return of their three
year old kangaroo Rowdy last sorry, yeah, three year old
five feet tall. Last scene Wednesday morning on Pika Road
near I ten in Austin County. A local radio DJ
said she saw the kangaroo while she was headed to
(06:45):
work and said, never in my wildest dreams did I
ever think a kangaroo would jump in front of my car,
recorded the kangaroo on camera and said, you later found
out that a nearby resident was missing a kangaroo.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Think kangaroos be really aggressive? My I just picturing the
ones that the box gloves.
Speaker 6 (07:02):
They'll rip you open, yeah, with their with their hind.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Legs they've got usually they've got one big middle claw.
Speaker 6 (07:09):
Looks like a veloci raptor.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Are you making stuff up again?
Speaker 6 (07:12):
Probably, I don't. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
The Santa Anna School Board has voted in favor of
massive teacher layoffs. During their meeting last night, they boarded.
They voted four to one in favor of the proposed layoffs.
Nothing is official until next year. These proposed staffing changes, though,
could impact more than three hundred teachers across the district.
Earlier this week, they proposed a three percent salary bomb
and a three percent bonus for their superintendent, who already
(07:38):
makes close to four hundred and fifty thousand dollars A ye.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Are they cutting any administration positions?
Speaker 6 (07:45):
Why would they do that?
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Who's who's gonna administer if they don't have administrators? And
then finally, Party Cities going out of business. The party
city that was closest to us burned down shut down
a long time ago. Chain is the largest party supply
store in the United States recently exited bankruptcy. The plan
includes canceling nearly a billion dollars in debt. Is this
(08:07):
just because people can can get all this stuff online
on Amazon?
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Oriental Trading Company Yeah, Big Lots is going out of
business too, started going out of business. Sales at its
last remaining locations.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Substantially all of its assets will be sold to private
equity firm Nexus Capital. They said it does not anticipate
completing the transaction. As a result, they're starting They're going
out of business sale all remaining locations in coming days.
They are going to explore other options to save the company,
including negotiating with Nexus or another buyer. They said the
aim of completing a sale sometime by the end of January.
Speaker 8 (08:44):
Hi Agarian Shaman.
Speaker 9 (08:45):
Hey, I'm currently on a boat waiting to depart Sampedro
to head to Mexico because there's no traffic, there's no
but head Christmas shoppers, and I don't have to buy
anybody anything for Christmas. So I just wanted to say
Marry Christmas to the Gary and Channon Show, all the followers,
(09:06):
and I'll see you guys when I come back next year.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Happy holidays, Yeah, happy holidays. Have fun on the boat.
Don't die like that other guy did. Oh people, Diane Boats.
Big stories that we are following, one of course, is
the government shutdown that is looming. House Speaker Mike Johnson
has proposed a new plan. This one would temporarily fund
federal operations and disaster really for a few months, but
it kind of punts the debt limit increase that Trump
(09:33):
wants into the new year. The Speaker has said there
will be no government shutdown. He has insisted on that,
and that's why they are still working. One thing that
they're waiting for, by the way, they's kind of caught
up or has kind of fallen by the wayside in
this government shutdown talk is the Matt Gates Ethics Committee
(09:53):
report will come out after they leave. That was the
a thing they agreed to in the secret ballot when
they agreed to release the Matt Gates Ethics report, they
said they would do it after the House adjourns for Christmas,
which they haven't done yet obviously, because they're still working
on this. They were supposed to do it yesterday. They
still have to work on this government shutdown, avoiding The government.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Should usually release these reports for.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Correct They usually don't release them for someone who's no
longer in Congress. Yeah, they did it once before, I
think for a guy out of Tennessee. So why now
because he's pissed off everyone in that building. No one
likes Matt Gates. It is one hundred percent retribution and
it's not as if the guy, it's not like he
(10:41):
has a bad reputation without earning it. He's he's a
he's a bad person, or at least he's I shouldn't
say he's a bad person.
Speaker 6 (10:49):
I don't know him personally. He is not nice to
people that.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
You wouldn't want your daughter hanging around.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
I don't want my daughter, I don't want my son
hanging around that. The other story internationally, a car is
driven into a group of people at a Christmas market
in an eastern German city. They said it was an attack.
They said that people were injured. It's not clear how many.
There's at least one report of one death. This comes
just about almost exactly eight years after an attack at
(11:15):
a Christmas market in Berlin that killed a bunch of
people as well. A reminder what you learned this week
on The Gary and Shannon Show is coming up at
the bottom of the hour, and then our nine news
nuggets you need to know with my wife playing a
big part in the nuggets, am I Yeah, you're here, aren't.
Speaker 6 (11:34):
You gotta do something?
Speaker 2 (11:39):
And our Gas Fantasy for play Football.
Speaker 6 (11:41):
College football gets underway tonight.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
The twelve team college football playoffs starts with a game tonight.
It's Indiana. Yeah, it's Indiana and Notre Dame in the
very very cold set. I'll bend Indiana. They said, there's
a bunch of snow on the ground and it could
potentially snow tonight, but we're talking professional football. Last night,
(12:07):
the Chargers ended up beating the Broncos with some weird
stuff going on thirty four to twenty seven and Thursday
Night Football, Jacob, I didn't know if you saw that
picture of Shannon standing behind coach Harbaugh.
Speaker 6 (12:19):
Oh I did.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Yeah, that's very funny, she wrote. She sent me a
picture of it and then said full circle. And I said,
he completes you because she has had a crush on
not a crush, but a coachy crush on Jim Harbough
for a long time.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
All Right.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
I love that she loves it so much. I love
it for her.
Speaker 6 (12:39):
Our cast Fantasy for Play, here's how we do it.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Four games on the schedule coming up, and you tell
us who you think is going to win each of
these four games. And despite the fact that we've been
doing this quite a bit, it's been an off year.
I feel like not a whole lot of four And
O's at least within our group. People who listened tend
to get a lot more common a lot more often
than we do. So you are you gonna read yours?
(13:03):
Are you gonna read Shannon's? Are you gonna read Shannon's?
Speaker 6 (13:06):
And then say what you think she should have read Shannon's?
Speaker 3 (13:09):
And then say what correct her?
Speaker 7 (13:10):
There we go, So, Jacob, our first game? All right,
game number one? This is our Saturday game. We have
the Pittsburgh Steelers at the Baltimore Ravens.
Speaker 6 (13:20):
Steelers Ravens go ahead break down.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Shannon chooses Ravens. Number one. Agrees with Shannon number two.
Look at that strong home advantage, right, you got key
players injured on the Steelers. Two words, Lamar Jackson Ravens
all the way.
Speaker 6 (13:36):
Who's Who's Lamar Jackson?
Speaker 3 (13:38):
He's the guy in the Ravens.
Speaker 6 (13:41):
Jacob, who do you choose?
Speaker 7 (13:43):
Well, this is a big matchup in the AFC North,
so more so for Rabe Jacob.
Speaker 6 (13:48):
She already handled the break I need.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
I'm gonna go with the Ravens, okay, and I got
the Steelers.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
I agree with Keana. Never pick against Mike Tomlin. Who's
Mike Tomlin?
Speaker 3 (14:01):
He's the guy on the Steelers.
Speaker 6 (14:02):
That's something like that second game.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
All right.
Speaker 7 (14:05):
Game number two, we have the Minnesota Vikings at the
Seattle Seahawks.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Shannon's got Seahawks, and Shannon's got Seahawks. They need this
one to stay in the PO.
Speaker 6 (14:14):
Race, in the what race?
Speaker 3 (14:16):
The playoffs? Get the lingo?
Speaker 6 (14:18):
Come on, what are okay? Jacob? I'm going Seattle.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Vikings.
Speaker 6 (14:28):
I also picked the Vikings. Something going on here between
Keana and I.
Speaker 8 (14:32):
All right?
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Game three?
Speaker 6 (14:34):
Game number three is our dumpster fire game.
Speaker 7 (14:36):
We have the Jacksonville Jaguars at the Las Vegas Raiders.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
This one is a stinker, Jeff, that's it. Stinker, Shannon says,
the Raiders, and Miss Shannon says. I'm going with Shannon
because you know that losing streak's got a break sometime, right,
And even with all those quarterback issues, I think it's
the Raiders.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
This is scaring me. This is I am uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
I am I'm not too proud to say it, Jacob
Jacksonville Las Vegas Jacks.
Speaker 6 (15:11):
Is Trevor Lawrence back? No, it's still Mac Jones.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Mac Jones is not an awful quarterback, not but he
didn't have a great game last week. Yeah, I just
think that the dumpster nature of the fire is hotter
for the Raiders, So I'm picking the Jaguars as well.
Speaker 9 (15:28):
Keana, I gasped when I saw these scores, these standings.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
It was terrible, But I'm going with the Raiders.
Speaker 6 (15:34):
Okay. And then finally, all right, fourth, fourth and last game.
Speaker 7 (15:39):
We had the San Francisco forty nine ers at Miami
to take on the Dolphins.
Speaker 6 (15:44):
Okay, a rematch of the Dolphins Super Bowl sixteen from
nineteen eighty four.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Go on, well, listen. Miami always has that home advantage
that works in their favor. But the Niners have a
pretty long injured list, am I right? Yes, We've got
Christian McCaffrey. We've got Jordan Mason with a high ankle spring.
We've got Nick Bosa. He's got that hinky hip. It's
a long list.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Hinky hip is an official injury report, pinky hip.
Speaker 6 (16:13):
So who do you choose?
Speaker 3 (16:15):
The Dolphins?
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Oh, I'm sorry you said it with such a plump,
Jacob forty nine ers, Dolphins.
Speaker 6 (16:20):
I gotta go forty nine ers on this one, uh, Keana.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
I got my Dolphins, and I have.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
The forty nine ers as well, because they can't suck
that bad forever, whereas boy I can dream, Miami absolutely could. Hey, okay,
so those are our four games. Steelers Ravens, Viking, Seahawks,
Jaguars Raiders, forty nine Ers Dolphins. A note, as Jacob
said that Steelers Ravens game is tomorrow. It's Saturday, so
(16:45):
it's kickoff at one thirty, so you got to get
this week's Gas Fantasy four play picks in before kickoff.
But tomorrow one thirty is the deadline. Next week, we're
doing another Gas Fantasy four play for week seventeen. We
will post that on Twitter at Gary and Shannon, and
you can make your picks for next week. We aren't
(17:06):
going to do a full segment on it or anything
next week, but we'll do new We'll do the picks.
Speaker 6 (17:11):
Unless you're busy or not busy.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Maybe we come back down and just do one segment
of football picks Gas Fantasy for play again. You can
respond to our post our tweet on X or X
or post on X whatever it is, or use the
hashtag gas Fantasy four play, even though Elon says.
Speaker 6 (17:27):
You don't need to use hashtags anymore.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
The House is going to make another attempt at passing
legislation to a vertic government shutdown. The package that they're
going to vote on now, this is considered a Plan C.
I guess looks a lot like Plan B. It would
fund the government at the current level through the middle
of March. It would extend the farm Bill by a year,
and appropriate billions of dollars in disasterate assistance for farmers
as well. These are all the things that were in
(17:50):
Plan B that failed last night. But different from Plan
B is that the bill that they would vote on
today would not include language that would raise the debt limit.
Democrats and some Republicans came out against this provision, despite
the fact that President elect Trump demanded that there be
a raising of the debt limit in that package. So again,
(18:12):
we're still eight hours or so less than nine hours
away from a potential government shutdown, and we'll see exactly
what it is that happens. Shannon Number one is in today,
My wife Shannon in for Shannon Farren.
Speaker 9 (18:25):
So Gary and Shannon show Yes with Gary and his wife.
Speaker 6 (18:30):

Speaker 4 (22:53):
What I've learned this week on Gary and Shannon is
that Gary can do a radio show with two Shannons,
but only one at a time.
Speaker 6 (23:02):
Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
That's an excellent point. I can't imagine if the both
of you were here at the same.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Time and you go together.
Speaker 12 (23:12):
Gary, I learned.
Speaker 6 (23:14):
Well that was almost three because her sister was there also.
Speaker 8 (23:17):
Gary.
Speaker 12 (23:17):
Yes, I learned you live in the nineteen seventies.
Speaker 6 (23:22):
Yes, I do.
Speaker 12 (23:23):
Your wife rolls down her window and you is going,
marijuana is pott. It's twenty twenty four, Dade. Oh, it's
mad it.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Marijuana is not pot. I mean, I understand it's you
don't say pot. It's like saying I'm going to go
smoke grass dope.
Speaker 6 (23:46):
It's dope.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
But if I'm trying to explain it to my own parents.
Then yes, I'm going to say the words that they
would have remembered it.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
One thing I learned this week is that Gary actually
does have a wife.
Speaker 10 (23:58):
She's not some fictional character that lives in Canada.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Like your high school girlfriend Junior High Junior.
Speaker 6 (24:06):
High, Hi, Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 10 (24:08):
This is built from Arizona six two to fifteen executive
protection specialists. What I learned this week Shannon unwittingly out
at her husband for admitting he drinks Michelo Ultra. Everyone
knows mickel Ultra is a chicken beer.
Speaker 8 (24:21):
Yep.
Speaker 10 (24:21):
Gary prefers strippers with leg bruises and do not wait
my way of Shannon at Whole Food's coffee line.
Speaker 6 (24:29):
Thanks Okay.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
To clarify a couple of things I've which part the strippernes, oh,
the leg bruises whatever. We were talking about a Tuesday,
we were talking about chicken strips. Somebody said they were
going to leave their job at the out at the port.
They're a dock worker. They're going to get the chicken
strips at some gentlemen's club because it had better chicken strips.
(24:50):
And it was Tuesday at noon and I said, that
must not be prime time for the ladies.
Speaker 6 (24:55):
Uh go Tuesday News.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
And the other thing is I've never seen Shannon's husband.
I've never seen him drink a michelobultra. I know she
said he likes it, but every time I've never seen
him drink that, he's always had much better taste around me.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Yeah, pressure, what I learned this week.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
If I call and leave a talk back seven times
and sound like an absolute idiot each and every single time,
you'll put me on the air.
Speaker 6 (25:24):
Yes I will. I'll be doing this six more times
by the way.
Speaker 8 (25:28):
Okay, Hey Gary, Hey Shannon number one, Hey Shannon, great job.
Speaker 7 (25:32):
Feeling in today for Shannon number two, wondering where she's at.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
Maybe the Chargers after party. She didn't make it because
of that or something.
Speaker 10 (25:41):
But anyways, Now, what I learned on the Gary Shannon
Show today is Gary has special underpants like Dad's.
Speaker 6 (25:49):
Like are they? I want to think of the Superman
green lantern or.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
What depends on the day.
Speaker 6 (25:56):
Trucker, nice trucker.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Right back at you, Hong Kong, did you want to
describe them?
Speaker 6 (26:06):
Careful? Turn about his fair play? Moving on, moving on,
It's time for our nine news nugget. You need to know.
These are the stories. They kind of fell through the
cracks because we were pretty busy this week.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
There was a lot going on. So so here's your
honorable mention.
Speaker 6 (26:18):
Honorable mention, not just an honor serving with you.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
Great and honorable Moses.
Speaker 7 (26:31):
So today we're holding auditions to become the newest member
of honorable Mention.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Honorable Mention. Serial offender caught munching breakfast at wheel.
Speaker 6 (26:46):
I don't know you want more?
Speaker 3 (26:48):
What do you want to say?
Speaker 2 (26:49):
A van driver was eating cereal and when he was
stopped by police. This is in the BBC more than
one hundred and ninety offences recorded by police across Yorkshire
during a month long crackdown on some of the major roads.
They were trying to get away from distracted driving. They
said there were a bunch of two handed textures and
those who were happy to waive a single finger of
(27:10):
frustration when spotted by police.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
I liked that it says the cereal ear was spotted
in North Yorkshire, and as was the driver who raised
his middle digit when he realized he had been recorded
not wearing a seatbelt.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Others showed an HGV driver. I don't know what that means.
Driver typing on a tablet or laptop computer while at
the wheel. A Ford Focus driver was also caught using
both hands to text on their mobile phone. I mean,
if you have a car that's going to drive itself,
it's probably not.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
I mean he was just driving with his knee.
Speaker 6 (27:41):
There's also that number nine, number nine.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
I did nine place.
Speaker 10 (27:44):
If a CoP's dirty nine times out of tennis partners dirty.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
Two and I speak nine languages at nine basically everybody
at table learning, I'd beel ready to go on another nine?
Speaker 8 (27:54):
And niner?
Speaker 6 (27:55):
Did I get check niner in there where you're calling.
Speaker 7 (27:57):
From Milwaukie talking.
Speaker 6 (28:00):
This is always an issue.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
If you do one of those gift exchanges where you
put a money limit on it, you're going to run
into some issues, especially if for some reason you find
out that someone under I mean it's an upper limit. No,
there's no bottom limit, right. A man says he opted
to downgrade his sister in law's Christmas gift after realizing
what she bought him was not at the same level
(28:23):
this has been. It was on Reddit, where you can
share all of your dirty secrets, whether they're true or not.
He explained that he'd recently gotten his first career job
and he's using his new source of income to get
good presents for his family members for the first time.
Speaker 6 (28:33):
What's that like. They celebrated early with the sister in law.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
The man's brother got her an Apple watch, and then
this guy planned to buy her a nice Apple watch
banned because she didn't like the silicone bands that come
with them.
Speaker 6 (28:47):
Typically she was.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Going to step up a little bit, perhaps, and he says,
we set a limit for between fifteen one hundred bucks.
Apple put out this sleek gold metal band that cost
one hundred, so it was at the limit, but it
was at the top of the limit. And as the
band is sized, ordered a wrist size her and a
photo of the band itself and put her inside this
gigantic box to be funny so that she actually had
(29:08):
something to open. Then it was his turn to open
the sister is in law's gift for him.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
I got these hiking socks, which I have been slowly
swapping my sock drawer out, but cost twenty six dollars
a pair. They're useful and I do love socks, but
it's half the range. We decided on what a petty bee.
Speaker 6 (29:27):
You got a gift from your sister in law and
it's something you like. Yeah, it's okay.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
I don't like the stuff I get from my sister
in Now.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
I'm just kidding, kidding which one, because I know a
couple of them. Here's number eighth.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
A tide is bold every eight second listening to eight.
Speaker 6 (29:52):
Different bosses drown on about mission statements.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Hey, we've seen weird food items, weird shapes that then
get auctioned on eBay, or something like a dorito in
the face in the shape of Abraham Lincoln silhouette, or
a cheeto that looks like a cheetah or something. In
this case, an egg bought from a supermarket in Britain
(30:16):
donated to a charity went up for sale because it's
almost perfectly spherical. It's not egg shaped, it's a ball
and fifty bucks. Ed Powell was the person who bought it.
He said he bought the egg on impulse after having
(30:36):
a few drinks.
Speaker 6 (30:38):
Donated the egg to.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
The Juventus Foundation. Juventus, a charity that supports young people
in Oxford. Sure, Oxford. Sure, Here's number seven.
Speaker 6 (30:50):
The seventh son of the seventh son.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
We're on a seven day with a government.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
Seven seven years of college done, seven seven.
Speaker 6 (31:05):
Yeah, I used to have these. You used to have these,
I tell.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
I used to have these. Nothing like getting your kid
a huffing kit for Christmas.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
A fifteen piece bubble ball toy that they sell in Canada.
I don't see them around here anymore. I feel like
they were they were outlawed here. But this is a
it's a kit that has a short plastic straw and
a solvent mixture. You mix it up and you put
it like on the end of the straw and you
blow into it and it creates this weird multicolored balloon.
(31:33):
But if you sh suck the air back in after
it's been in the solvement solvent, it says it could
cause extended periods symptoms central nervous system depression or dysfunction, euphoria, hallucinations, dizzyness,
(31:53):
and difficulties with coordination and voluntary.
Speaker 6 (31:56):
So these are nine night bubbles, But it's more than that.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
It sounds like like we were saying earlier, when it
comes to sleep, is psychedelics?
Speaker 6 (32:03):
Is it? Maybe it's a really bad trip.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
They are available on Amazon in the US. Yeah, look
at that eleven ninety eight.
Speaker 6 (32:10):
Can we get him for stocking stuffers for the kids?
Speaker 3 (32:12):
You think sure?
Speaker 6 (32:13):
Number six? I got six, you got six, she got six.
Number six, there's six more weeks of water.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
A picture of me, Rabbi and six drunk and longshom.
Speaker 4 (32:21):
Why we just dig in a nursing home closer to us.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
I don't have to take dad drink another six pack.
Speaker 6 (32:26):
Well, they're halfway there.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Joy Rogan, sorry, Joy Ryan and her forty three year
old grandson Brad.
Speaker 6 (32:34):
Joy is ninety one.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
She has a goal that she wants to visit every
continent with her grandson. She's up to number four because
she made it to Antarctica. She so sweet and forty
three year old Brad reached Antarctica on a hybrid battery
powered cruise ship, their fourth continent together and halfway point
on their mission to visit just every continent together. Said
(32:59):
that Brad took Grandma Joy, as she's known, to the
Great Smoky Mountains National Park in twenty fifteen. She said,
I slept in a tent. I climbed a mountain all
for the first time at the age of eighty five.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
So maybe when I made you five, I'll sleep in
a tent.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
I still don't think that's gonna happen unless it's a
mosquito tent in the house for some reason.
Speaker 6 (33:19):
Here's number five five. I have we begin bombing in
five minutes. Five little monkey, this is the year five
point five.
Speaker 4 (33:29):
Five would be a favorite.
Speaker 6 (33:31):
Loose five pounds immediately listen.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
I know Harvey. He was married, father of five gaggle
of grandchildren. He deserved it.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
I don't know if he deserved it, but his grandkids
have an incredible story to tell about their grandpappy. This
is Lester Harvey, fifty eight year old Phoenix, Virginia. He
had been out hunting with a group following a bear.
The bear ran up the tree as they got back
and sort of retreated from the tree a bit, maybe
to have a better angle at it. One of the
(34:05):
guys shot the bear, and the animal does what animals
do when they're in a tree and dead. He fell
out of it and the bear fell onto Lester Harvey.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
Now the first time this has happened. In twenty eighteen,
a man in Alaska was injured after his hunting partner
shot a bear and the animal tumbled down a slope
into the man, who was also struck by rocks just
lodged by the bear.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Listen, don't mess with them. I don't have a problem
with that. The bear's fighting back the other one. In
twenty nineteen, a guy was injured. He and his hunting
partner shot a bear in a tree in North Carolina.
The bear falls out and starts to bite the guy.
Speaker 6 (34:41):
You shot him. What did you expect him to do?
Speaker 2 (34:43):
If you're not a good shot and you can't kill him?
The man in the animal tumbled off a cliff. The
hunter had to be taken to the hospital. The bear
was later found dead at the bottom of said cliff.
Speaker 6 (34:53):
Here's number four or minute.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
It's probably on his fourth tranquilizer by now, Commandment number four.
Speaker 6 (34:58):
The This isn't the same world you left four years ago,
so I'm not quite sure exactly how this happens.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
But a grandma who had the license plate number NCC
seventeen oh one.
Speaker 6 (35:13):
Does that make sense anybody at ring a bell?
Speaker 2 (35:15):
It's the number and letters on the starship Enterprise.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
I don't understand this. Why is this the problem?
Speaker 2 (35:24):
A mom was losing her eye sight, so she gave
up driving, sold her car, surrendered her license plates a
few years ago, but the New York plates have been
trying to buy matching novelty plates, or have been, i
should say, buying matching novelty plates with the same USS
Enterprise numbers on at the NCC seventeen oh one.
Speaker 6 (35:43):
So for some reason, she's still getting tickets.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
These other drivers are going through red light cameras or
speeding cameras, and she's the one getting thousands of dollars
worth of tickets because apparently it's still registered in her name.
Speaker 10 (35:57):
Here's number three shall be the non badashaws and the
number of the counting.
Speaker 4 (36:01):
Shall be three. Were dead within three hours.
Speaker 5 (36:04):
Three security clearance level three, all.
Speaker 4 (36:07):
Three of you three.
Speaker 6 (36:09):
I got all three of you guys for the rest
of your naturally born live. After that three days, they
both start to stink.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
So my prediction is we're going to see stories out
of this funeral home very very quickly.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
This is a brilliant idea.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
A story at a Columbus, Ohio a funeral home has
applied for a liquor license, the Evergreen Funeral, Cremation and
Reception Center. They said it's a unique twist to a
celebration of life and they want to change how people
view the average funeral.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
Mixed cub ultra for everyone.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
So let's get everyone drunk and talk about what Grandpa did?
Speaker 3 (36:42):
You know what? It'll make a little bit more real.
Speaker 6 (36:45):
Do you think those weren't real?
Speaker 3 (36:47):
I just think it'll maybe open up the honesty tap
a little bit at the eulogies.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
Maybe you can't you can't have a drink until you
say something nice about Grandpa Grandma.
Speaker 6 (36:58):
Here's number two. What's going on?
Speaker 4 (37:00):
We got two fingers one two.
Speaker 6 (37:03):
People.
Speaker 8 (37:04):
There's two sons and no women.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
Different parts of the world, man, they do things a
little bit differently. This guy was struggling with fertility, wanted
to be a father, So what better way to induce
I guess what sperm production than to swallow a live chicken?
Speaker 3 (37:23):
Just eat the testicles. It's a chick. Oh.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
I mean it's a small one, but it's but he
he choked on it and died, as did the chick
and chick and doctors performed an autopsy. They said, originally
they couldn't tell what it was that killed him, and
then they made an incision near his throat and realized
that there was a chick stuck in there.
Speaker 3 (37:46):
Wouldn't have been amazing if the chick was still alive,
and they cut it open, and.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
Then they saved it and raised it like their own,
their own little baby. Here's number one, we'd number one,
number one.
Speaker 4 (37:58):
We're number one, ben I decided to look out for
number one.
Speaker 8 (38:02):
Are you the number one row? Number one?
Speaker 4 (38:04):
Number number one?
Speaker 2 (38:07):
Well, everybody likes to go through their latest issue of
urology case reports, and in this one latest the latest issue,
a man's routine visit to a doctor turned into a
nightmare after physicians discovered that his penis was solidifying. Not
like that, not like that, it was turning to bone,
(38:30):
not like that. The unnamed patient, in his sixties had
reported to the doctor's office for a trauma of the knee,
but during the visit, he alerted medics it hurts right there.
Speaker 3 (38:41):
Also, upon examination, physicians didn't find any prostates, dwelling, unusual discharge,
or any of the usual markers of phallic agony, so
they conducted an X ray to look for possible pelvic fractures.
The images revealed the hard truth. The patient had extensive
blacklike calcification along the length of the manhood. You love
(39:04):
the story so much.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
Well, they said they can treat it through shockwave therapy,
in which doctors use sonic pulses to break down the
calcified mass.
Speaker 3 (39:13):
Now how they get rid of kidney stones?
Speaker 4 (39:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (39:15):
Yeah, hell, hey, thank you thanks.
Speaker 3 (39:20):
For having me take your wife to workday.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
Yes, now we get to go sit in silence for
the drive home. Right, Oh, I have so much to say.
Speaker 6 (39:27):
Oh boy, I'm.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
Getting notes after the Santa all right, John Cobelchow is
up next. We'll see you in the beginning of the year.
Have a great holiday, Happy, Happy Hanukah, Merry Christmas, Abi Kwanza,
Happy Kwanza, Happy New Year, Boxing Day, and then we'll
celebrate my birthday.

I don't know how you do this. I know his
headphones on, everything's magnified. I can hear himself.
Speaker 6 (00:34):
Swallied right into your headcatch. How long have you known me?
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Oh man? Well, we just had our twenty sixth anniversary,
twenty seven, almost thirty years.
Speaker 6 (00:47):
When did you first meet me?
Speaker 3 (00:49):
I was visiting my brother, who you went to Chico's
state with right a million years.
Speaker 6 (00:57):
Ago looking for something more specific.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
But I was living in Sacramento, you were living in Chico.
I was leaving at sacrament And to go see my brother,
not because we were close, but because I had a
psychoic's boyfriend that I was trying to escape right, and
would have to spend the weekend with him. And we
went to the movies with your brother, with my brother
and his gaggle of friends, and you were in that gaggle.
Speaker 6 (01:22):
But what day was it? It was a Sunday, It was,
you know, a year.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Why do you do this?
Speaker 6 (01:30):
Because you know I'm not good with I remember so
much better than you do.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
No, you remember mind this thing like dates, but like
feelings and intention.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
And what was the reason I remember the date? Is
because I had feelings on that day. It was Sunday,
October eighth, nineteen ninety five. Well, that's easy because and
we went and saw the movie seven, Yes, on the eighth, Yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:56):
Okay, And then two days later was your birthday.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Yes, and I sent you fly despite having known you
for two three hours at that point.
Speaker 6 (02:04):
It's a big move, big bold moves.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:08):
Yeah, not low tee, not low t at all. Thank
you very much. What else is going on? Time for
what's happening?
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Well?
Speaker 7 (02:17):
The opening is sponsored by a water damage fire damage.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Burglary call public adjuster Abner GAS nine seven five to five.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
Sex.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
I don't think I'll ever remember. But the big story
you've heard Debra mention this a couple of times. A
car has driven into a crowd of people at a
Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany. Multiple victims, people have been
running in panic. Extensive police operations underway. There are dozens
and dozens of police and fire vehicles out in front
(02:49):
of this in front of this market in Magdeburg.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
And the driver of the car was arrested.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
At least one dead, several hurt. According to CNN, h
comes about eight years to the day after a tear
attack at a different German Christmas market, a man drove
a truck into a crowd at a market in Berlin.
Thirteen people were killed in that instance, and if we
get more information, we.
Speaker 6 (03:12):
Will bring it to you. The latest out of Washington,
d C.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
When it comes to the potential for a government shutdown,
it looks like the Republicans in the House are trying
to do sort of a three pronged version of a
bill similar to what they were going to pass, sorry,
similar to what they voted on last night but didn't pass.
They want to split these things up and have at
(03:36):
least some way. Plan C apparently looks like Plan B
broken into three different parts. And if they can do
it in the right way through committee. For example, they
don't need the two thirds vote, they can just do
it with a simple majority.
Speaker 6 (03:49):
So their clock is ticking.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Were less than nine hours away from a potential government shutdown.
Speaker 6 (03:55):
Could see some rain. Ooh, bring health, I think.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Just enough to get your windshield dirty.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Yeah, yeah, just this in southern California. It was the
first time I ever got a sunburn on Christmas Eve.
It was one of the very first years that we
lived here, and I had taken the kids to the park.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
I think so I could rap present.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
So you could rap presents.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
And I came back and I had a sunburn because
that's the weather we have around Christmas.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
DA and both of your children also had sunburns. You
forget that part.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
I only think about myself. The price of bitcoin is
down more than ten percent. After topping out at one
oh eight one hundred and eight thousand dollars for a
single bitcoin back on Tuesday, it's now down below ninety
three thousand once again, so a lot of people taken
turning in their bitcoins for the cash. If you're a
(04:44):
fan of watching the Vandenberg launches from the Vandenburg Space
Force Base, SpaceX has issued an advisory for counties of
Santa Barbara, San Luos, Obispo, and Ventura because of the
plans for a launch very early tomorrow morning. They said,
about three point thirty in the morning, they're launching another
(05:05):
Falcon nine rocket and it could create sonic booms in
the area. About eight minutes after liftoff, the rockets first
stage would land back at Vandenberg and they're saying that
that's what would cause the sonic booms. One or more
sonic booms coming back in for landing. It's part of
a Bandwagon mission Bandwagon two described as a rideshare mission
(05:29):
meant to deliver payloads into space. They have launched four
hundred and ten Falcon nine rockets into orbit. How do
you say that that's not a successful company.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Do they all come back?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
The rocket itself does? Yeah, the capsule itself I think
burns up on re entry.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
I just I imagine tons of detritis circling.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
Oh there is. It's awful.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
It's more polluted than insert name a very polluted thing here.
It's more it looks like the great garbage patch in
the North Pacific.
Speaker 6 (06:04):
The big guyer is.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
What that's said. We're not even there yet. We've already
ruined it.
Speaker 6 (06:09):
We're not even in space yet. We've been in space
for a while, you know what I mean. We don't
live there yet.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
A kangaroo named Rowdy is somewhere in Austin County, Texas.
Speaker 6 (06:23):
For some reason.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
You're allowed to have a kangaroo in Texas well, because
of freedom for one thing. But a family there in
Austin County is anxiously awaiting the return of their three
year old kangaroo Rowdy last sorry, yeah, three year old
five feet tall. Last scene Wednesday morning on Pika Road
near I ten in Austin County. A local radio DJ
said she saw the kangaroo while she was headed to
(06:45):
work and said, never in my wildest dreams did I
ever think a kangaroo would jump in front of my car,
recorded the kangaroo on camera and said, you later found
out that a nearby resident was missing a kangaroo.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Think kangaroos be really aggressive? My I just picturing the
ones that the box gloves.
Speaker 6 (07:02):
They'll rip you open, yeah, with their with their hind.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Legs they've got usually they've got one big middle claw.
Speaker 6 (07:09):
Looks like a veloci raptor.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Are you making stuff up again?
Speaker 6 (07:12):
Probably, I don't. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
The Santa Anna School Board has voted in favor of
massive teacher layoffs. During their meeting last night, they boarded.
They voted four to one in favor of the proposed layoffs.
Nothing is official until next year. These proposed staffing changes, though,
could impact more than three hundred teachers across the district.
Earlier this week, they proposed a three percent salary bomb
and a three percent bonus for their superintendent, who already
(07:38):
makes close to four hundred and fifty thousand dollars A ye.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Are they cutting any administration positions?
Speaker 6 (07:45):
Why would they do that?
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Who's who's gonna administer if they don't have administrators? And
then finally, Party Cities going out of business. The party
city that was closest to us burned down shut down
a long time ago. Chain is the largest party supply
store in the United States recently exited bankruptcy. The plan
includes canceling nearly a billion dollars in debt. Is this
(08:07):
just because people can can get all this stuff online
on Amazon?
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Oriental Trading Company Yeah, Big Lots is going out of
business too, started going out of business. Sales at its
last remaining locations.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Substantially all of its assets will be sold to private
equity firm Nexus Capital. They said it does not anticipate
completing the transaction. As a result, they're starting They're going
out of business sale all remaining locations in coming days.
They are going to explore other options to save the company,
including negotiating with Nexus or another buyer. They said the
aim of completing a sale sometime by the end of January.
Speaker 8 (08:44):
Hi Agarian Shaman.
Speaker 9 (08:45):
Hey, I'm currently on a boat waiting to depart Sampedro
to head to Mexico because there's no traffic, there's no
but head Christmas shoppers, and I don't have to buy
anybody anything for Christmas. So I just wanted to say
Marry Christmas to the Gary and Channon Show, all the followers,
(09:06):
and I'll see you guys when I come back next year.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Happy holidays, Yeah, happy holidays. Have fun on the boat.
Don't die like that other guy did. Oh people, Diane Boats.
Big stories that we are following, one of course, is
the government shutdown that is looming. House Speaker Mike Johnson
has proposed a new plan. This one would temporarily fund
federal operations and disaster really for a few months, but
it kind of punts the debt limit increase that Trump
(09:33):
wants into the new year. The Speaker has said there
will be no government shutdown. He has insisted on that,
and that's why they are still working. One thing that
they're waiting for, by the way, they's kind of caught
up or has kind of fallen by the wayside in
this government shutdown talk is the Matt Gates Ethics Committee
(09:53):
report will come out after they leave. That was the
a thing they agreed to in the secret ballot when
they agreed to release the Matt Gates Ethics report, they
said they would do it after the House adjourns for Christmas,
which they haven't done yet obviously, because they're still working
on this. They were supposed to do it yesterday. They
still have to work on this government shutdown, avoiding The government.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Should usually release these reports for.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Correct They usually don't release them for someone who's no
longer in Congress. Yeah, they did it once before, I
think for a guy out of Tennessee. So why now
because he's pissed off everyone in that building. No one
likes Matt Gates. It is one hundred percent retribution and
it's not as if the guy, it's not like he
(10:41):
has a bad reputation without earning it. He's he's a
he's a bad person, or at least he's I shouldn't
say he's a bad person.
Speaker 6 (10:49):
I don't know him personally. He is not nice to
people that.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
You wouldn't want your daughter hanging around.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
I don't want my daughter, I don't want my son
hanging around that. The other story internationally, a car is
driven into a group of people at a Christmas market
in an eastern German city. They said it was an attack.
They said that people were injured. It's not clear how many.
There's at least one report of one death. This comes
just about almost exactly eight years after an attack at
(11:15):
a Christmas market in Berlin that killed a bunch of
people as well. A reminder what you learned this week
on The Gary and Shannon Show is coming up at
the bottom of the hour, and then our nine news
nuggets you need to know with my wife playing a
big part in the nuggets, am I Yeah, you're here, aren't.
Speaker 6 (11:34):
You gotta do something?
Speaker 2 (11:39):
And our Gas Fantasy for play Football.
Speaker 6 (11:41):
College football gets underway tonight.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
The twelve team college football playoffs starts with a game tonight.
It's Indiana. Yeah, it's Indiana and Notre Dame in the
very very cold set. I'll bend Indiana. They said, there's
a bunch of snow on the ground and it could
potentially snow tonight, but we're talking professional football. Last night,
(12:07):
the Chargers ended up beating the Broncos with some weird
stuff going on thirty four to twenty seven and Thursday
Night Football, Jacob, I didn't know if you saw that
picture of Shannon standing behind coach Harbaugh.
Speaker 6 (12:19):
Oh I did.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Yeah, that's very funny, she wrote. She sent me a
picture of it and then said full circle. And I said,
he completes you because she has had a crush on
not a crush, but a coachy crush on Jim Harbough
for a long time.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
All Right.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
I love that she loves it so much. I love
it for her.
Speaker 6 (12:39):
Our cast Fantasy for Play, here's how we do it.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Four games on the schedule coming up, and you tell
us who you think is going to win each of
these four games. And despite the fact that we've been
doing this quite a bit, it's been an off year.
I feel like not a whole lot of four And
O's at least within our group. People who listened tend
to get a lot more common a lot more often
than we do. So you are you gonna read yours?
(13:03):
Are you gonna read Shannon's? Are you gonna read Shannon's?
Speaker 6 (13:06):
And then say what you think she should have read Shannon's?
Speaker 3 (13:09):
And then say what correct her?
Speaker 7 (13:10):
There we go, So, Jacob, our first game? All right,
game number one? This is our Saturday game. We have
the Pittsburgh Steelers at the Baltimore Ravens.
Speaker 6 (13:20):
Steelers Ravens go ahead break down.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Shannon chooses Ravens. Number one. Agrees with Shannon number two.
Look at that strong home advantage, right, you got key
players injured on the Steelers. Two words, Lamar Jackson Ravens
all the way.
Speaker 6 (13:36):
Who's Who's Lamar Jackson?
Speaker 3 (13:38):
He's the guy in the Ravens.
Speaker 6 (13:41):
Jacob, who do you choose?
Speaker 7 (13:43):
Well, this is a big matchup in the AFC North,
so more so for Rabe Jacob.
Speaker 6 (13:48):
She already handled the break I need.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
I'm gonna go with the Ravens, okay, and I got
the Steelers.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
I agree with Keana. Never pick against Mike Tomlin. Who's
Mike Tomlin?
Speaker 3 (14:01):
He's the guy on the Steelers.
Speaker 6 (14:02):
That's something like that second game.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
All right.
Speaker 7 (14:05):
Game number two, we have the Minnesota Vikings at the
Seattle Seahawks.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Shannon's got Seahawks, and Shannon's got Seahawks. They need this
one to stay in the PO.
Speaker 6 (14:14):
Race, in the what race?
Speaker 3 (14:16):
The playoffs? Get the lingo?
Speaker 6 (14:18):
Come on, what are okay? Jacob? I'm going Seattle.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Vikings.
Speaker 6 (14:28):
I also picked the Vikings. Something going on here between
Keana and I.
Speaker 8 (14:32):
All right?
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Game three?
Speaker 6 (14:34):
Game number three is our dumpster fire game.
Speaker 7 (14:36):
We have the Jacksonville Jaguars at the Las Vegas Raiders.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
This one is a stinker, Jeff, that's it. Stinker, Shannon says,
the Raiders, and Miss Shannon says. I'm going with Shannon
because you know that losing streak's got a break sometime, right,
And even with all those quarterback issues, I think it's
the Raiders.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
This is scaring me. This is I am uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
I am I'm not too proud to say it, Jacob
Jacksonville Las Vegas Jacks.
Speaker 6 (15:11):
Is Trevor Lawrence back? No, it's still Mac Jones.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Mac Jones is not an awful quarterback, not but he
didn't have a great game last week. Yeah, I just
think that the dumpster nature of the fire is hotter
for the Raiders, So I'm picking the Jaguars as well.
Speaker 9 (15:28):
Keana, I gasped when I saw these scores, these standings.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
It was terrible, But I'm going with the Raiders.
Speaker 6 (15:34):
Okay. And then finally, all right, fourth, fourth and last game.
Speaker 7 (15:39):
We had the San Francisco forty nine ers at Miami
to take on the Dolphins.
Speaker 6 (15:44):
Okay, a rematch of the Dolphins Super Bowl sixteen from
nineteen eighty four.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Go on, well, listen. Miami always has that home advantage
that works in their favor. But the Niners have a
pretty long injured list, am I right? Yes, We've got
Christian McCaffrey. We've got Jordan Mason with a high ankle spring.
We've got Nick Bosa. He's got that hinky hip. It's
a long list.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Hinky hip is an official injury report, pinky hip.
Speaker 6 (16:13):
So who do you choose?
Speaker 3 (16:15):
The Dolphins?
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Oh, I'm sorry you said it with such a plump,
Jacob forty nine ers, Dolphins.
Speaker 6 (16:20):
I gotta go forty nine ers on this one, uh, Keana.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
I got my Dolphins, and I have.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
The forty nine ers as well, because they can't suck
that bad forever, whereas boy I can dream, Miami absolutely could. Hey, okay,
so those are our four games. Steelers Ravens, Viking, Seahawks,
Jaguars Raiders, forty nine Ers Dolphins. A note, as Jacob
said that Steelers Ravens game is tomorrow. It's Saturday, so
(16:45):
it's kickoff at one thirty, so you got to get
this week's Gas Fantasy four play picks in before kickoff.
But tomorrow one thirty is the deadline. Next week, we're
doing another Gas Fantasy four play for week seventeen. We
will post that on Twitter at Gary and Shannon, and
you can make your picks for next week. We aren't
(17:06):
going to do a full segment on it or anything
next week, but we'll do new We'll do the picks.
Speaker 6 (17:11):
Unless you're busy or not busy.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Maybe we come back down and just do one segment
of football picks Gas Fantasy for play again. You can
respond to our post our tweet on X or X
or post on X whatever it is, or use the
hashtag gas Fantasy four play, even though Elon says.
Speaker 6 (17:27):
You don't need to use hashtags anymore.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
The House is going to make another attempt at passing
legislation to a vertic government shutdown. The package that they're
going to vote on now, this is considered a Plan C.
I guess looks a lot like Plan B. It would
fund the government at the current level through the middle
of March. It would extend the farm Bill by a year,
and appropriate billions of dollars in disasterate assistance for farmers
as well. These are all the things that were in
(17:50):
Plan B that failed last night. But different from Plan
B is that the bill that they would vote on
today would not include language that would raise the debt limit.
Democrats and some Republicans came out against this provision, despite
the fact that President elect Trump demanded that there be
a raising of the debt limit in that package. So again,
(18:12):
we're still eight hours or so less than nine hours
away from a potential government shutdown, and we'll see exactly
what it is that happens. Shannon Number one is in today,
My wife Shannon in for Shannon Farren.
Speaker 9 (18:25):
So Gary and Shannon show Yes with Gary and his wife.
Speaker 6 (18:30):

Speaker 6 (20:37):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
So we go out of our way sometimes to try
to entertain while we inform interformation, enfoertainment, something along those lines,
right over the course of four hours every day, all week.
And we like to know what it is that sticks.
We like to know what it is that you actually
(21:00):
glean onto after we are done blabbing for four hours
a day. What I learned on the Gary and Shannon
Show is then I've come to appreciate you guys a
whole lot.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
Thanks for all the laughs.
Speaker 5 (21:13):
Sometimes you drive me crazy with your political stuff.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
Yeah, Shannon number one, you've done a great job today.
Speaker 6 (21:19):
Thank you, Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
We learn that I do not know what mushrooms do
to a person they get too high. Apparently I assume
they didn't, but I have not done them.
Speaker 8 (21:31):
Gary and Shannon Number one Evan from Anaheim here.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
I love the show today. What I learned on the
Garyan Shannon Show this week is that low t Gary's
manager san Chard Shannon man, she's good on the radio.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
I really love the show.
Speaker 6 (21:45):
It was kind of a fun little, uh little twist.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
I wouldn't say sany We suspect Gary Kating on his
Jeopardy question.
Speaker 6 (21:54):
No, Shannon Number one calls him out. We will find
out the truth.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
I know what he knows.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Robin Oci love you guys, have merry Christmas.
Speaker 6 (22:04):
How would you know? I didn't know Cleopatra?
Speaker 11 (22:07):
This week on The Gary and Shannon and Shannon Show,
I learned about the one hundred.
Speaker 6 (22:10):
And eighty four For a second, did he say? Gary
and Shannon Shannon.
Speaker 11 (22:13):
This week on The Gary and Shannon and Shannon Show,
I learned about one hundred and eighty four foot flagpole
in Calipteria, California. That's a really cut story about how
the town folks came together and helped one of their
own through a tragic time. I'm glad you guys shared that.
Speaker 6 (22:28):
That was a really cool story. It was anyway, you'll
have good weekend. See why. Thank you appreciate that.
Speaker 5 (22:33):
Hey, Gary Shannon. Number one.
Speaker 12 (22:36):
What I learned this week is I need more the
other radio in my life.
Speaker 6 (22:41):
Can you possibly do this more than once a year?
Speaker 12 (22:44):
All right?
Speaker 5 (22:45):
Thank you guys.
Speaker 6 (22:45):
Have a good Christmas. Well I don't know if it counts,
but we are playing back.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
It's a wonderful KFI life, KFI wonderful life on Christmas Day.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
What I've learned this week on Gary and Shannon is
that Gary can do a radio show with two Shannons,
but only one at a time.
Speaker 6 (23:02):
Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
That's an excellent point. I can't imagine if the both
of you were here at the same.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Time and you go together.
Speaker 12 (23:12):
Gary, I learned.
Speaker 6 (23:14):
Well that was almost three because her sister was there also.
Speaker 8 (23:17):
Gary.
Speaker 12 (23:17):
Yes, I learned you live in the nineteen seventies.
Speaker 6 (23:22):
Yes, I do.
Speaker 12 (23:23):
Your wife rolls down her window and you is going,
marijuana is pott. It's twenty twenty four, Dade. Oh, it's
mad it.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Marijuana is not pot. I mean, I understand it's you
don't say pot. It's like saying I'm going to go
smoke grass dope.
Speaker 6 (23:46):
It's dope.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
But if I'm trying to explain it to my own parents.
Then yes, I'm going to say the words that they
would have remembered it.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
One thing I learned this week is that Gary actually
does have a wife.
Speaker 10 (23:58):
She's not some fictional character that lives in Canada.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Like your high school girlfriend Junior High Junior.
Speaker 6 (24:06):
High, Hi, Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 10 (24:08):
This is built from Arizona six two to fifteen executive
protection specialists. What I learned this week Shannon unwittingly out
at her husband for admitting he drinks Michelo Ultra. Everyone
knows mickel Ultra is a chicken beer.
Speaker 8 (24:21):
Yep.
Speaker 10 (24:21):
Gary prefers strippers with leg bruises and do not wait
my way of Shannon at Whole Food's coffee line.
Speaker 6 (24:29):
Thanks Okay.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
To clarify a couple of things I've which part the strippernes, oh,
the leg bruises whatever. We were talking about a Tuesday,
we were talking about chicken strips. Somebody said they were
going to leave their job at the out at the port.
They're a dock worker. They're going to get the chicken
strips at some gentlemen's club because it had better chicken strips.
(24:50):
And it was Tuesday at noon and I said, that
must not be prime time for the ladies.
Speaker 6 (24:55):
Uh go Tuesday News.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
And the other thing is I've never seen Shannon's husband.
I've never seen him drink a michelobultra. I know she
said he likes it, but every time I've never seen
him drink that, he's always had much better taste around me.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Yeah, pressure, what I learned this week.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
If I call and leave a talk back seven times
and sound like an absolute idiot each and every single time,
you'll put me on the air.
Speaker 6 (25:24):
Yes I will. I'll be doing this six more times
by the way.
Speaker 8 (25:28):
Okay, Hey Gary, Hey Shannon number one, Hey Shannon, great job.
Speaker 7 (25:32):
Feeling in today for Shannon number two, wondering where she's at.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
Maybe the Chargers after party. She didn't make it because
of that or something.
Speaker 10 (25:41):
But anyways, Now, what I learned on the Gary Shannon
Show today is Gary has special underpants like Dad's.
Speaker 6 (25:49):
Like are they? I want to think of the Superman
green lantern or.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
What depends on the day.
Speaker 6 (25:56):
Trucker, nice trucker.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Right back at you, Hong Kong, did you want to
describe them?
Speaker 6 (26:06):
Careful? Turn about his fair play? Moving on, moving on,
It's time for our nine news nugget. You need to know.
These are the stories. They kind of fell through the
cracks because we were pretty busy this week.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
There was a lot going on. So so here's your
honorable mention.
Speaker 6 (26:18):
Honorable mention, not just an honor serving with you.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
Great and honorable Moses.
Speaker 7 (26:31):
So today we're holding auditions to become the newest member
of honorable Mention.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Honorable Mention. Serial offender caught munching breakfast at wheel.
Speaker 6 (26:46):
I don't know you want more?
Speaker 3 (26:48):
What do you want to say?
Speaker 2 (26:49):
A van driver was eating cereal and when he was
stopped by police. This is in the BBC more than
one hundred and ninety offences recorded by police across Yorkshire
during a month long crackdown on some of the major roads.
They were trying to get away from distracted driving. They
said there were a bunch of two handed textures and
those who were happy to waive a single finger of
(27:10):
frustration when spotted by police.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
I liked that it says the cereal ear was spotted
in North Yorkshire, and as was the driver who raised
his middle digit when he realized he had been recorded
not wearing a seatbelt.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Others showed an HGV driver. I don't know what that means.
Driver typing on a tablet or laptop computer while at
the wheel. A Ford Focus driver was also caught using
both hands to text on their mobile phone. I mean,
if you have a car that's going to drive itself,
it's probably not.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
I mean he was just driving with his knee.
Speaker 6 (27:41):
There's also that number nine, number nine.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
I did nine place.
Speaker 10 (27:44):
If a CoP's dirty nine times out of tennis partners dirty.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
Two and I speak nine languages at nine basically everybody
at table learning, I'd beel ready to go on another nine?
Speaker 8 (27:54):
And niner?
Speaker 6 (27:55):
Did I get check niner in there where you're calling.
Speaker 7 (27:57):
From Milwaukie talking.
Speaker 6 (28:00):
This is always an issue.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
If you do one of those gift exchanges where you
put a money limit on it, you're going to run
into some issues, especially if for some reason you find
out that someone under I mean it's an upper limit. No,
there's no bottom limit, right. A man says he opted
to downgrade his sister in law's Christmas gift after realizing
what she bought him was not at the same level
(28:23):
this has been. It was on Reddit, where you can
share all of your dirty secrets, whether they're true or not.
He explained that he'd recently gotten his first career job
and he's using his new source of income to get
good presents for his family members for the first time.
Speaker 6 (28:33):
What's that like. They celebrated early with the sister in law.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
The man's brother got her an Apple watch, and then
this guy planned to buy her a nice Apple watch
banned because she didn't like the silicone bands that come
with them.
Speaker 6 (28:47):
Typically she was.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Going to step up a little bit, perhaps, and he says,
we set a limit for between fifteen one hundred bucks.
Apple put out this sleek gold metal band that cost
one hundred, so it was at the limit, but it
was at the top of the limit. And as the
band is sized, ordered a wrist size her and a
photo of the band itself and put her inside this
gigantic box to be funny so that she actually had
(29:08):
something to open. Then it was his turn to open
the sister is in law's gift for him.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
I got these hiking socks, which I have been slowly
swapping my sock drawer out, but cost twenty six dollars
a pair. They're useful and I do love socks, but
it's half the range. We decided on what a petty bee.
Speaker 6 (29:27):
You got a gift from your sister in law and
it's something you like. Yeah, it's okay.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
I don't like the stuff I get from my sister
in Now.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
I'm just kidding, kidding which one, because I know a
couple of them. Here's number eighth.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
A tide is bold every eight second listening to eight.
Speaker 6 (29:52):
Different bosses drown on about mission statements.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Hey, we've seen weird food items, weird shapes that then
get auctioned on eBay, or something like a dorito in
the face in the shape of Abraham Lincoln silhouette, or
a cheeto that looks like a cheetah or something. In
this case, an egg bought from a supermarket in Britain
(30:16):
donated to a charity went up for sale because it's
almost perfectly spherical. It's not egg shaped, it's a ball
and fifty bucks. Ed Powell was the person who bought it.
He said he bought the egg on impulse after having
(30:36):
a few drinks.
Speaker 6 (30:38):
Donated the egg to.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
The Juventus Foundation. Juventus, a charity that supports young people
in Oxford. Sure, Oxford. Sure, Here's number seven.
Speaker 6 (30:50):
The seventh son of the seventh son.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
We're on a seven day with a government.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
Seven seven years of college done, seven seven.
Speaker 6 (31:05):
Yeah, I used to have these. You used to have these,
I tell.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
I used to have these. Nothing like getting your kid
a huffing kit for Christmas.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
A fifteen piece bubble ball toy that they sell in Canada.
I don't see them around here anymore. I feel like
they were they were outlawed here. But this is a
it's a kit that has a short plastic straw and
a solvent mixture. You mix it up and you put
it like on the end of the straw and you
blow into it and it creates this weird multicolored balloon.
(31:33):
But if you sh suck the air back in after
it's been in the solvement solvent, it says it could
cause extended periods symptoms central nervous system depression or dysfunction, euphoria, hallucinations, dizzyness,
(31:53):
and difficulties with coordination and voluntary.
Speaker 6 (31:56):
So these are nine night bubbles, But it's more than that.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
It sounds like like we were saying earlier, when it
comes to sleep, is psychedelics?
Speaker 6 (32:03):
Is it? Maybe it's a really bad trip.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
They are available on Amazon in the US. Yeah, look
at that eleven ninety eight.
Speaker 6 (32:10):
Can we get him for stocking stuffers for the kids?
Speaker 3 (32:12):
You think sure?
Speaker 6 (32:13):
Number six? I got six, you got six, she got six.
Number six, there's six more weeks of water.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
A picture of me, Rabbi and six drunk and longshom.
Speaker 4 (32:21):
Why we just dig in a nursing home closer to us.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
I don't have to take dad drink another six pack.
Speaker 6 (32:26):
Well, they're halfway there.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Joy Rogan, sorry, Joy Ryan and her forty three year
old grandson Brad.
Speaker 6 (32:34):
Joy is ninety one.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
She has a goal that she wants to visit every
continent with her grandson. She's up to number four because
she made it to Antarctica. She so sweet and forty
three year old Brad reached Antarctica on a hybrid battery
powered cruise ship, their fourth continent together and halfway point
on their mission to visit just every continent together. Said
(32:59):
that Brad took Grandma Joy, as she's known, to the
Great Smoky Mountains National Park in twenty fifteen. She said,
I slept in a tent. I climbed a mountain all
for the first time at the age of eighty five.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
So maybe when I made you five, I'll sleep in
a tent.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
I still don't think that's gonna happen unless it's a
mosquito tent in the house for some reason.
Speaker 6 (33:19):
Here's number five five. I have we begin bombing in
five minutes. Five little monkey, this is the year five
point five.
Speaker 4 (33:29):
Five would be a favorite.
Speaker 6 (33:31):
Loose five pounds immediately listen.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
I know Harvey. He was married, father of five gaggle
of grandchildren. He deserved it.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
I don't know if he deserved it, but his grandkids
have an incredible story to tell about their grandpappy. This
is Lester Harvey, fifty eight year old Phoenix, Virginia. He
had been out hunting with a group following a bear.
The bear ran up the tree as they got back
and sort of retreated from the tree a bit, maybe
to have a better angle at it. One of the
(34:05):
guys shot the bear, and the animal does what animals
do when they're in a tree and dead. He fell
out of it and the bear fell onto Lester Harvey.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
Now the first time this has happened. In twenty eighteen,
a man in Alaska was injured after his hunting partner
shot a bear and the animal tumbled down a slope
into the man, who was also struck by rocks just
lodged by the bear.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Listen, don't mess with them. I don't have a problem
with that. The bear's fighting back the other one. In
twenty nineteen, a guy was injured. He and his hunting
partner shot a bear in a tree in North Carolina.
The bear falls out and starts to bite the guy.
Speaker 6 (34:41):
You shot him. What did you expect him to do?
Speaker 2 (34:43):
If you're not a good shot and you can't kill him?
The man in the animal tumbled off a cliff. The
hunter had to be taken to the hospital. The bear
was later found dead at the bottom of said cliff.
Speaker 6 (34:53):
Here's number four or minute.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
It's probably on his fourth tranquilizer by now, Commandment number four.
Speaker 6 (34:58):
The This isn't the same world you left four years ago,
so I'm not quite sure exactly how this happens.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
But a grandma who had the license plate number NCC
seventeen oh one.
Speaker 6 (35:13):
Does that make sense anybody at ring a bell?
Speaker 2 (35:15):
It's the number and letters on the starship Enterprise.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
I don't understand this. Why is this the problem?
Speaker 2 (35:24):
A mom was losing her eye sight, so she gave
up driving, sold her car, surrendered her license plates a
few years ago, but the New York plates have been
trying to buy matching novelty plates, or have been, i
should say, buying matching novelty plates with the same USS
Enterprise numbers on at the NCC seventeen oh one.
Speaker 6 (35:43):
So for some reason, she's still getting tickets.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
These other drivers are going through red light cameras or
speeding cameras, and she's the one getting thousands of dollars
worth of tickets because apparently it's still registered in her name.
Speaker 10 (35:57):
Here's number three shall be the non badashaws and the
number of the counting.
Speaker 4 (36:01):
Shall be three. Were dead within three hours.
Speaker 5 (36:04):
Three security clearance level three, all.
Speaker 4 (36:07):
Three of you three.
Speaker 6 (36:09):
I got all three of you guys for the rest
of your naturally born live. After that three days, they
both start to stink.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
So my prediction is we're going to see stories out
of this funeral home very very quickly.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
This is a brilliant idea.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
A story at a Columbus, Ohio a funeral home has
applied for a liquor license, the Evergreen Funeral, Cremation and
Reception Center. They said it's a unique twist to a
celebration of life and they want to change how people
view the average funeral.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
Mixed cub ultra for everyone.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
So let's get everyone drunk and talk about what Grandpa did?
Speaker 3 (36:42):
You know what? It'll make a little bit more real.
Speaker 6 (36:45):
Do you think those weren't real?
Speaker 3 (36:47):
I just think it'll maybe open up the honesty tap
a little bit at the eulogies.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
Maybe you can't you can't have a drink until you
say something nice about Grandpa Grandma.
Speaker 6 (36:58):
Here's number two. What's going on?
Speaker 4 (37:00):
We got two fingers one two.
Speaker 6 (37:03):
People.
Speaker 8 (37:04):
There's two sons and no women.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
Different parts of the world, man, they do things a
little bit differently. This guy was struggling with fertility, wanted
to be a father, So what better way to induce
I guess what sperm production than to swallow a live chicken?
Speaker 3 (37:23):
Just eat the testicles. It's a chick. Oh.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
I mean it's a small one, but it's but he
he choked on it and died, as did the chick
and chick and doctors performed an autopsy. They said, originally
they couldn't tell what it was that killed him, and
then they made an incision near his throat and realized
that there was a chick stuck in there.
Speaker 3 (37:46):
Wouldn't have been amazing if the chick was still alive,
and they cut it open, and.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
Then they saved it and raised it like their own,
their own little baby. Here's number one, we'd number one,
number one.
Speaker 4 (37:58):
We're number one, ben I decided to look out for
number one.
Speaker 8 (38:02):
Are you the number one row? Number one?
Speaker 4 (38:04):
Number number one?
Speaker 2 (38:07):
Well, everybody likes to go through their latest issue of
urology case reports, and in this one latest the latest issue,
a man's routine visit to a doctor turned into a
nightmare after physicians discovered that his penis was solidifying. Not
like that, not like that, it was turning to bone,
(38:30):
not like that. The unnamed patient, in his sixties had
reported to the doctor's office for a trauma of the knee,
but during the visit, he alerted medics it hurts right there.
Speaker 3 (38:41):
Also, upon examination, physicians didn't find any prostates, dwelling, unusual discharge,
or any of the usual markers of phallic agony, so
they conducted an X ray to look for possible pelvic fractures.
The images revealed the hard truth. The patient had extensive
blacklike calcification along the length of the manhood. You love
(39:04):
the story so much.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
Well, they said they can treat it through shockwave therapy,
in which doctors use sonic pulses to break down the
calcified mass.
Speaker 3 (39:13):
Now how they get rid of kidney stones?
Speaker 4 (39:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (39:15):
Yeah, hell, hey, thank you thanks.
Speaker 3 (39:20):
For having me take your wife to workday.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
Yes, now we get to go sit in silence for
the drive home. Right, Oh, I have so much to say.
Speaker 6 (39:27):
Oh boy, I'm.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
Getting notes after the Santa all right, John Cobelchow is
up next. We'll see you in the beginning of the year.
Have a great holiday, Happy, Happy Hanukah, Merry Christmas, Abi Kwanza,
Happy Kwanza, Happy New Year, Boxing Day, and then we'll
