Gary and Shannon kick off the weekend with a wild mix of stories and confessions: from Shannon’s “air-conditioning situationship” to Gary’s moldy college basement, fridge fights, and food expiration debates.
They dive into California’s new law requiring rental units to include refrigerators and stoves, why Gary once dated for AC, and how cleaning the fridge somehow turned into a reflection on love, death, and bullet holes.

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.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Well, welcome to the Gas Weekend Fax. We're gonna pour
some gas on some of these topics that we had
talked about a little bit earlier in the week and
didn't spend a lot of time on. So buckle up,
buckle up, buttercut something like that, are you gonna swear?
Speaker 1 (00:25):
I feel like we should put a disclaimer on because
I know that we can say anything on this podcast,
and we do, but sometimes when you swear, it's jarring.
We don't expect it. It's kind of like watching Santa swear.
It's just like whoa what? Like, I get it. Santa
has the right to swear, we know he does, but
when you hear it and feel it, it just it's
(00:46):
cognitive dissonance.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Can I tell you when I swore the most this week? Yes,
when the Phillies pitcher threw home.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
That was awful. Made that part of first.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Now, my wife lives with me most of the time,
and she's aware of my propensity for in those moments
to get very angry.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Well, you like rules too, you like protocol and rules
in the ways things should be done.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
I like not dumb plays. That's what I like. That's
what I really enjoy and I like the basics and
the fundamentals. And when that guy threw that ball home,
I stood up and said, you dumb motherfucker. What are
you are you?
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Fuck? Yes, I stood up too. I totally stood up,
and I was like, what was she not?
Speaker 2 (01:31):
She was I could see out of the corner of
my eye she was not paying attention to the game,
but she was startled by the fact that I jumped
up and yelled expletives.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
I know, I wrote enough bench as a junior in
JB softball to know, like, what are you even doing?
Like before you you know where that ball is going,
Like everyone knows where the ball is going in that eventuality.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Well, and that's the one thing that they tell you
very early on when you start playing baseball is don't
be a dipshit every pitch. You gotta know where you're
going to know where you're going. If you're in the
infield and there's multiple runners on, you think to yourself, Okay,
if the ball's going to take me this way, I'm
if I'm at third base and the ball takes me
to the line, I'm gonna touch third and then I'm
gonna throw home.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
I was a junior on JV and rode the bench
and they kicked me down to the freshman team and
I played second. I've let everyone know where the play
was before. I'd be like plays at one pays it,
three is at home, and.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
All the other players are like, who's this old lady?
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Right?
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Well, that kind of doesn't lead anything into what we're
going to talk about today. But there was a law
that was passed this week, signed into law by the
governor which basically requires landlords to equip rental units with
a refrigerator and stove in good working condition.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Now I once believe, and this is something I don't
like to admit, and I don't think I've admitted it
ever publicly, but I dated someone for air conditioning once.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
No, you've said that, at least I know that. I
don't know if you've said it on the air before.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Like I pretty much should have left that at like
maybe a mild flirtation, maybe a date, but I like
got into a somewhat situationship or I don't want to
say it was a relationship. It never got to boyfriend territory. Okay,
but it went on too long because it was the
(03:23):
summer and I had no air conditioning and he did.
How awful is that? But anyway, I like the idea
of there being a fridge in every apartment because there
are certain things that you just can't afford, and air
conditioning is one of them. A refrigerator, if it doesn't
(03:43):
if the apartment doesn't come with one, that was a
non starter for me. I didn't have five hundred dollars
or whatever a fridge was at the time.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Even a used one would have been a couple hundred
bucks probably.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Yeah, there was just no way.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
No, And I don't I've been lucky enough that I've
the places that I've lived or had to rent or
something like that, they all came with refrigerators. In fact,
the house that we moved into when we moved to
La twenty plus years ago, there was a refrigerator in
that in the condo. It was not the right refrigerator.
(04:14):
I mean it was clearly the space built in the
kitchen was for a big refrigerator and this was not
a big refrigerator. But that was one of those things
that It was a lifesaver basically, because we had someplace
to keep food right away and didn't have to We're
already stretched to move into this apartment condo that you
(04:36):
you don't get immediately punched in the face. You're racking
up some huge credit card bill because you're buying a refrigerator. Yeah,
and the one that we bought to replace that we
still use today. We still have it. We moved it
with us to the new house.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
How many organisms are living in it?
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Well, I found that's funny. You should say that I
found just the other day an egg that had fallen
out out of the egg cart and dig in the
back of the refrigerators, and I don't know how long
it had been there. I mean, my wife is very
she's very anal retentive about food safety, much more so
(05:14):
than I am. So it's regularly.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Retentive about food safety. You just mean that she follows
expiration dates. A normal person wouldn't consider her anal retentive.
They think of her as a normal Maybe you, on
the other hand, are a dumpster dweller. You and my
husband both will eat something that says it was expired
two months ago.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Is he healthy? Is he healthy. Yes, Am I healthy? Yes? Okay, correctly.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
I have two stories that happened recently for you involving
a refrigerator. One is this, there was a carton of
eggs with an August sell by date that this, Oh
my god, I'm just saying that was chilling. That he
(06:03):
let go into October, okay, which I struggled with, but
it was okay.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
So when you say struggle, you're talking about you open
the refrigerator.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
I want to. I want to throw things out, but
I don't because I know he'll still eat them. So
I've I've evolved in our marriage to not throwing things
out if he has purchased them or he has no
problem with them. I let them live their lives, even
though I would like to cut those lives short, sure
or not short, but I know what you mean. They're dying.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Make it an appropriate end of life decision.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Absolutely. On the other hand, recently, and I love it
when this happens, when you have like new things that
you appreciate about your spouse twenty years in or what
have you. And my husband cleaned the refrigerator recently, like
(06:57):
deep cleaned it, like took everything out, like cleaned the
whole thing just on like Wednesday. It wasn't broken, It
did not the power did not go out, and it
wasn't a thing where like there was something bad, and
he just did it.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
He got sick of waiting for you to do it,
did it.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
I have never cleaned a refrigerator my whole life. Ah,
But I was like, you know, it's just like little
things like that, which it's not a little thing. I
mean that takes some time. That's a big deal, right,
But it just makes me appreciate him even more, you know,
just things like that that happen in like a relationship
or a living situation, even this far in it's nice
(07:35):
for this thing to happen. You just have this re
emergence of appreciation. Sure, Like I don't know people who
would just clean the refrigerator just because it should be cleaned.
I should just do this and not be told or
it not be.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
A thing it's or something happened.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
That's something happened, like the.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Whatever I'm trying to think of, a like the Bitch
and Sauce canister blew up and it got stuff everywhere.
That would be a reason to clean it. But that's
the same kind of person that cleans a microwave oven
without being told yes. And there are times Listen, if
I cook something in the microwave oven, chances are it's
gonna splatter because I'm a dummy, and I will try
(08:14):
to do my best to clean that thing out. But
somebody who cleans it out just on a regular basis.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Yeah, my dad was the opposite. My dad would blow
up the microwave and just leave it like. He was
not a cleaner of things. So I think that's also
what makes me appreciate my husband more, very different.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
What's the worst apartment you lived in? And I don't
mean the one that you were just using for air conditioning,
the dirty live with him?
Speaker 1 (08:43):
I just spent some time there.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Because everybody wants to call it whatever you want to
call it, I'm not going to put a label on it.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
It was a really nice guy. It was a really
nice guy.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
He was pretty chill.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
He's dead now, not crazy why, I don't know, not nuts,
because he wasn't letting you in. No no, no, no,
no, no you didn't. You're not the one who No, it
is weird anyway. Do you have any dead relationships here?
People that have died. It's like a real weird thing.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Yeah, no, I don't think so. Yeah, I mean I've
had I have weird ones that pop back up that
like it might as well be kids. Oh yeah, got
married soon after?
Speaker 1 (09:23):
What your life would be different if you had those
five kids? Oh can you imagine? Oh my gosh, so crazy.
But yeah, I have another light lighting doors totally. I
have another girlfriend she has an ex boyfriend dead, and
it's just weird to think about. This is weird anyway,
It's I mean, because we're not that we're not. It's
sure it's going to happen to everybody, but this happened
(09:45):
when we were probably like late thirties, Like, whoa got
a dead one in the past?
Speaker 2 (09:50):
No, but I have seen pictures of ex girlfriends, the
one I was engaged to. I've seen a picture of her, Yeah,
and I'm like, who's that really?
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Yeah, you wouldn't hit that.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
No, it was an oddly It's one of those things.
And we've talked about this before. When when we talk, especially,
we relive these parts of our lives, like what's the
worst of partment you ever lived in? And you think
to yourself, like, wow, I was twenty six years old.
There's such us. We're stuck in that time period between
twenty five and thirty five. So much of our life
(10:21):
goes on changes. You meet people, you end up with them.
For me, I had kids in that time window.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
For me, when I lived in apartments, I mean I
always had I was always really lucky in having parents
that could give me the first and last month's rent
when I moved into places in my early twenties when
I didn't have that money right, and they did that
for me like three times. And I would not have
(10:47):
been able to live in those places if I did
not have that period. So it was never like a
cockroach situation.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
You know.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
But I also wasn't focused on where I was living.
I wasn't super picky when it came to apartments. I
wasn't really I didn't care because I was so driven
to get where I needed to be professionally.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
It was utilitarian.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
It was is there water, is there a door? Is
there a bed? A TV? Cool? Like that's great. I
wasn't into the apartment situation. I'm still really not into
like the perfect house or whatever. It's not what I'm
focused on. And I wish I was sometimes more more
design oriented oriented detail oriented but I'm not it's not
(11:28):
important to me.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
There was a house that we lived in. Three roommates
and I great friends. We lived in this house on
West Sacramento in Chico, out just west of the most
part of town, or most of the part of town,
so we're actually in a neighborhood. We weren't around a
bunch of college kids. And the house itself was beautiful
from the outside. I mean, it was a really cool
(11:51):
looking house, and I had a big driveway, we had
a basketball hoop and people could walk by and we'd
have a bunch of friends and it was easy to
have parties there all that sort of stuff. It was
a mess, it was, I mean, it was dirty. The
carpets there should have been pulled and burned in a
ceremony something. Yeah, there was a basement that was always moldy,
and my roommate, one of my best friends, lived down
(12:13):
there for a full year and a half and couldn't
figure out why he was sick all the time.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
And smell.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
No he didn't. I mean, he was very clean guy.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
But when you live in a dank basement like that,
I didn't like that mold smell just clings to everything.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
That's where our computers were, because that's what we did
is we didn't have computers in every room with the
f house, but that's where the computers were, so we
would go down there. It was quieter there and like
people could come in the house.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
So that was like the masturbation room too.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Don't I never did you?
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Did it? No?
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Not there? Yeah, all over the place, but not there.
That Actually that house actually had a bullet hole in
it too, because there's a safe way on.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
I know that safe there's a safe way.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I can't remember what road that's on.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
My brother worked out that safeway.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
That safeway. There was a shooting either in the parking
lot of the safeway or the gas station right across
the street. And it's an absolute literally straight shot to
the front door of our house, you know, a quarter
mile down the road. And the you could see where
the bullet went through the casing on the front door
and into the living room. Now that's cool, and the
(13:22):
landlord told us about it when we moved out. You
guys want to see something cool is yeah, bullet hole righter? Helly,
you never fix that and on the inside you he
just patched over it with some.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
We should shoot something in here just to have a story,
just have.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
A great story. Yeah, I think that wouldn't set.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Off some sort of I don't care who's here? Who
is here? Also a great point, Elmer's shaking me off?
Why am I not allowed to shoot something here? We
don't you think a bullet hole would be a fun
story when we invite people here?
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Yeah? I mean, what if there's an accident and Elmer
got shot. No one's going to shoot you.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
I'm not gonna shoot you. It's just going to be one.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Shot, and you would definitely shoot me that is not
by accident on purpose.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
You don't think I'm a good shot, I'll show you
how good of a shot.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
I show you how good start running. Not a real gun.
That would hurt too, That would hurt a lot too.

not cool? But do you think she deserves ten years
of us going through this and throwing shade her way.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
I've never probably i've never named her. It's not like
people know who.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
She used her name before, have we?
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Yes, we are got the full name, and she's been
married since, so I don't know what her name is.

That would be a reason to clean it. But that's
the same kind of person that cleans a microwave oven
without being told yes. And there are times Listen, if
I cook something in the microwave oven, chances are it's
gonna splatter because I'm a dummy, and I will try
(08:14):
to do my best to clean that thing out. But
somebody who cleans it out just on a regular basis.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Yeah, my dad was the opposite. My dad would blow
up the microwave and just leave it like. He was
not a cleaner of things. So I think that's also
what makes me appreciate my husband more, very different.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
What's the worst apartment you lived in? And I don't
mean the one that you were just using for air conditioning,
the dirty live with him?
Speaker 1 (08:43):
I just spent some time there.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Because everybody wants to call it whatever you want to
call it, I'm not going to put a label on it.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
It was a really nice guy. It was a really
nice guy.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
He was pretty chill.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
He's dead now, not crazy why, I don't know, not nuts,
because he wasn't letting you in. No no, no, no,
no, no you didn't. You're not the one who No, it
is weird anyway. Do you have any dead relationships here?
People that have died. It's like a real weird thing.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Yeah, no, I don't think so. Yeah, I mean I've
had I have weird ones that pop back up that
like it might as well be kids. Oh yeah, got
married soon after?
Speaker 1 (09:23):
What your life would be different if you had those
five kids? Oh can you imagine? Oh my gosh, so crazy.
But yeah, I have another light lighting doors totally. I
have another girlfriend she has an ex boyfriend dead, and
it's just weird to think about. This is weird anyway,
It's I mean, because we're not that we're not. It's
sure it's going to happen to everybody, but this happened
(09:45):
when we were probably like late thirties, Like, whoa got
a dead one in the past?
Speaker 2 (09:50):
No, but I have seen pictures of ex girlfriends, the
one I was engaged to. I've seen a picture of her, Yeah,
and I'm like, who's that really?
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Yeah, you wouldn't hit that.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
No, it was an oddly It's one of those things.
And we've talked about this before. When when we talk, especially,
we relive these parts of our lives, like what's the
worst of partment you ever lived in? And you think
to yourself, like, wow, I was twenty six years old.
There's such us. We're stuck in that time period between
twenty five and thirty five. So much of our life
(10:21):
goes on changes. You meet people, you end up with them.
For me, I had kids in that time window.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
For me, when I lived in apartments, I mean I
always had I was always really lucky in having parents
that could give me the first and last month's rent
when I moved into places in my early twenties when
I didn't have that money right, and they did that
for me like three times. And I would not have
(10:47):
been able to live in those places if I did
not have that period. So it was never like a
cockroach situation.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
You know.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
But I also wasn't focused on where I was living.
I wasn't super picky when it came to apartments. I
wasn't really I didn't care because I was so driven
to get where I needed to be professionally.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
It was utilitarian.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
It was is there water, is there a door? Is
there a bed? A TV? Cool? Like that's great. I
wasn't into the apartment situation. I'm still really not into
like the perfect house or whatever. It's not what I'm
focused on. And I wish I was sometimes more more
design oriented oriented detail oriented but I'm not it's not
(11:28):
important to me.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
There was a house that we lived in. Three roommates
and I great friends. We lived in this house on
West Sacramento in Chico, out just west of the most
part of town, or most of the part of town,
so we're actually in a neighborhood. We weren't around a
bunch of college kids. And the house itself was beautiful
from the outside. I mean, it was a really cool
(11:51):
looking house, and I had a big driveway, we had
a basketball hoop and people could walk by and we'd
have a bunch of friends and it was easy to
have parties there all that sort of stuff. It was
a mess, it was, I mean, it was dirty. The
carpets there should have been pulled and burned in a
ceremony something. Yeah, there was a basement that was always moldy,
and my roommate, one of my best friends, lived down
(12:13):
there for a full year and a half and couldn't
figure out why he was sick all the time.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
And smell.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
No he didn't. I mean, he was very clean guy.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
But when you live in a dank basement like that,
I didn't like that mold smell just clings to everything.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
That's where our computers were, because that's what we did
is we didn't have computers in every room with the
f house, but that's where the computers were, so we
would go down there. It was quieter there and like
people could come in the house.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
So that was like the masturbation room too.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Don't I never did you?
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Did it? No?
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Not there? Yeah, all over the place, but not there.
That Actually that house actually had a bullet hole in
it too, because there's a safe way on.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
I know that safe there's a safe way.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I can't remember what road that's on.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
My brother worked out that safeway.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
That safeway. There was a shooting either in the parking
lot of the safeway or the gas station right across
the street. And it's an absolute literally straight shot to
the front door of our house, you know, a quarter
mile down the road. And the you could see where
the bullet went through the casing on the front door
and into the living room. Now that's cool, and the
(13:22):
landlord told us about it when we moved out. You
guys want to see something cool is yeah, bullet hole righter? Helly,
you never fix that and on the inside you he
just patched over it with some.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
We should shoot something in here just to have a story,
just have.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
A great story. Yeah, I think that wouldn't set.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Off some sort of I don't care who's here? Who
is here? Also a great point, Elmer's shaking me off?
Why am I not allowed to shoot something here? We
don't you think a bullet hole would be a fun
story when we invite people here?
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Yeah? I mean, what if there's an accident and Elmer
got shot. No one's going to shoot you.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
I'm not gonna shoot you. It's just going to be one.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Shot, and you would definitely shoot me that is not
by accident on purpose.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
You don't think I'm a good shot, I'll show you
how good of a shot.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
I show you how good start running. Not a real gun.
That would hurt too, That would hurt a lot too.
