This is Gary and Shannon, and you're listening to k
I Am six forty the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app. K I Am six forty
Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
I was out late last night.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Yeah, I know I was too, but I wasn't doing
any I mean I was having dinner with friends.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
I looked at the clock and we were at California
Adventure for our Coast Christmas kickoff party. I saw the
Coast Parade. I saw Karen Sharp. I ran out on
the parade route to give her a hug. I didn't
know if I was going to get arrested. I saw
Ryan and Ellen, all our friends. It was so much fun.
But anyway, I look at the clock and I said,
(00:40):
it's eleven fifty two. We are going home. My husband
loves California Adventure and Disney landed he will stay. Yeah,
he would have stayed there, and I was like, we
need to leave immediately.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
He secreted himself away in like the Little Mermaid Ride,
just to see if it would go all night.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
And good news is it does. That's great. I cannot
be lee.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
I looked this up today because we've talked about it
before we started the show in October of twenty fifteen.
In May of twenty sixteen, we were in a meeting
with a sales guy at a car dealership and a
couple of the guys at the car dealership had said
to us, have you guys ever.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Heard of bit?
Speaker 3 (01:20):
My god, I know, and we're like, okay, yeah, we've
heard of it. We don't quite get it. Nobody understands
exactly how you make money on it, or what it is,
or what happens if you lose money on it.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
We're fine. I looked it up.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
In May of twenty sixteen, bitcoin was about six hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Bitcoin was about six hundred dollars had we put any
money into bitcoin at that point. Bitcoin has now soared
past the one hundred thousand dollars mark for.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
The first time ever. And I saw a headline.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Today that said bitcoin could hit two hundred thousand before
January first, we were like, oh.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Guy in the big necklace chain, Yeah, well, you don't
know what you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
You're gonna get You're gonna lose your pants on this man,
now listen. He may have, but it's never been below
six hundred since May of twenty sixteen, and it you know,
it'd get up around forty thousand, and we'd like, this
guy's gonna he's gonna feel so stupid when and now
he owns the city of Fresno or wherever.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
I don't know. I bet he doesn't work at a
car dealership anymore. He owns the car dealership.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Now, getting bitcoin is up more than one hundred and
forty percent this year, and is up fifty percent since the.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Election, since November fifth.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
So, speaking of the election, Elon Musk via Ramaswami are
on Capitol Hill today. They're promoting Doze. Of course, the
Department of Government Efficiency. It's not a it's not an
actual government department, but they are there basically discussing with
lawmakers their plans on behalf of President elect Trump. Jordan
(02:58):
Neely's father is now suing Daniel Penny over his son's
choke hold death on that New York City subway car.
The jury in that case still deliberating. I think they're
in their third or they're in their fourth day now
of deliberations about whether or not to convict Daniel Penny
of manslaughter. The lawsuit again by Jordan Neely's father, filed
(03:18):
yesterday accuses him accuses Daniel Penny of negligent contact, assault
and battery that caused injuries and Neely's death.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Do we really have the Lions packers tonight? Is that
a night? I think that that is.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
I think that's what I heard. That's gonna be a
fun game. Well, NFC North Drama Detroit just seems like
they're gonna win the whole damn thing.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Well, they they're so they're toying with people now. I
mean to play the other day where they had a
their their offensive lineman.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Yeah, like roll out like he was going to throw
a pass. Yes, that's fun.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
A three hundred and fifty pound dude that moved like
that and looked like he was ready to throw.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
You're the most dangerous when you're having fun in the NFL,
and they are getting to have fun in Detroit.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Good for them, you guys. This story is not getting
any clearer.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
The words deny, defend, and depose were discovered by detectives
on the shell casings found at the scene where Brian Thompson,
the CEO of United Healthcare, was shot and killed there
in Midtown.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Okay, all right, all right, so Deny, Defend, Depose.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
It's all about insurance companies not paying claims.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
And it's similar to a book called Delay, Deny, Defend.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Which is the subtext of the subtitle Why Insurance Companies
Don't pay claims and What you Can Do about It,
written by Jay Feynman.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
The NYPD says that they have been using cameras and
all these other things to try to locate where this
guy is right now, the gunman. They have been able
to track in different areas, the time leading up to
the shooting early yesterday morning, the time right after the
shooting yesterday morning, and they have released a handful of
pictures that are now a lot more clear where you
(05:09):
can actually see his face, where he's not wearing a
bandanna to cover his nose. And they're expecting that they'll
have an identity on that guy, if they don't already,
they'll have an identity on that guy relatively soon. But
there are so many questions now about Brian Thompson himself,
about what he was involved with, about any potential secrets
(05:30):
that he had in.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
His life, about the executives.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
He was one of many executives under investigation by the
Department of justice.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
He got rid of.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
I was listening to John yesterday on the way home,
and he divested what thirty percent of his stock when
he knew that the company was under investigation before anybody,
before it went public, which is classic insider trading stuff.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
He exercised the stock options, he sold shares that would
have been worth more than fifteen teen million dollars back
in February, two weeks after he did that is when
it came out that this federal anti trust probe was
had been opened.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Is the denied deposed? Whatever? Is that a red herring? Is?
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Are they trying to make it look like this is
somebody who was disgruntled over being denied coverage, when in
fact it was a bigger fish, a bigger, a bigger
money issue.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
You're still you're still to effect to a bigger, bigger
government kind of conspiracy.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
I was suspicious yesterday when the wife listen. I don't
mean to go after people whose spouses have just been
shot and killed in the street, But I was suspicious
yesterday when the wife did that interview with NBC News
when the body wasn't even cold, and she said to
NBC News there have been threats against his life. Now,
if there had been threats against his life, where.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Was his security?
Speaker 1 (06:57):
We've had we've had veiled threats against our lives and
had security.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Well like we are, we are, we are nobody.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
And he's had security in the past. So I wasn't
it there in New York exactly?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Like if it rose to the level of his wife
knowing that there were credible death threats or whatever, you
better believe somebody like that who's worth that much much
money would have security in a place like New York City.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Well, so that's odd. We'll talk more about this week. Okay,
you know how.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
New day new conspiracy theory, baby book in your eye,
You're like, I'm getting to the bottom of this. That's right.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
French Prime Minister Michel Bonnier, I'm not even sure if
he's resigned yet officially, but he is supposed to resign
today because lawmakers in the French parliament voted to h
or succeeded in their vote of no confidence against him.
So he showed up to the President's Palace, the president's
residence uh and talked with him Manuel Nacron.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
And was supposed to step down.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
But any new prime minister that comes and is going
to deal with an awful French government right now. They
are trying to fix these public finance problems that they've
had for years that are kind of coming to a head,
and the Parliament right now is very, very divided, so
a lot of the focus now is going to be
on a Menuel Macrohne himself as he tries to find
(08:20):
a new prime minister and form a new government.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
There these three different surveillance still pictures, two with the
guy not wearing a mask a mask, and one of
them with him wearing the mask slightly over his nose
and mouth. All three noses look different to me.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
So that listen.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
I don't know how the NYPD looks at these videos,
the ones that they have, and can be certain that
that is the same guy.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
I'm not certainly. I agree with you.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Yeah, the one that looks like it is what the
guy was wearing when he shot and killed the CEO.
That's a very that to me is a different face
than the other two of the unmasked And those two
guys don't even look like the same guy, the.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Same clothes, and they're staying in.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
This hostel, which I bet is very popular with young
men of a certain age.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Sure, I don't know. It's just it's very odd to me.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
We're talking about the death of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson,
who was shot and killed early yesterday morning outside a
hotel in Manhattan and the New York Hilton Midtown.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
It depends on who you ask, because some people your
initial response was this is somebody who is not familiar
with guns, and then there's this other thought process of
people are like, this is absolutely a contract killer. This
guy's very familiar with guns. I don't know enough about
guns to make any sort of determination on that.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Well, and some of the evidence would could fit in
either category.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
And now that's the problem.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Like yesterday was saying, when you see the video and
he's racking the sl on this gun, it didn't make
sense to me why he would need to do that.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
It's a semi automatic weapon.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
It's built to eject the shell, load the new one,
pull the trigger again as fast as you can, basically,
and it's going to unload the bullets into whoever you're
shooting at or whatever. But then people are saying, well,
he may have been using subsonic rounds, which wouldn't have
enough power, so that would say, Oh, he's a professional,
he knows what he's doing. But then there were the
(10:26):
shells that were left that had the words written on them.
Would be like, why would the guy leave shells to
trace unless, which would mean he doesn't know what he's doing.
Unless to your point, they wrote it as a red
herring right to throw people off the trail that this
was a professional hit.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
To think it is somebody who's disgruntled that they were
denied coverage.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
You take out the CEO.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
They've said that his schedule was widely available. But I
still don't know how you'd be able to pinpoint that
this is the guy. It's dark out, he's wearing a suit,
he looks like every other white guy that's going to
a convention in New York at the Midtown Hilton.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
How would you know that this was the guy? It's
very odd to me.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
The fact that the wife came out right away and
said that he had had threats to his life was
odd to me as well that she even didn't interview.
And now today it's where heartbroken. He was such a
wonderful husband to our two sons, but all very odd.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Well.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
They they were also separated. Now that doesn't necessarily mean
that she had anything to do with this, obviously.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
But well, he came into how much money? How much
money did he come into? Fifty million dollars?
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Was it million?
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Fifteen million dollars? That to me, it's the same thing
as fifty million, I you know what I mean. But
he came into that in recent months too. Think about that. Well, now,
if they if they, if he's shot and killed before
they get divorced, that that hot summer money rolls right
to her.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
She and Brian Paulette is her name.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
They have been living in separate homes in Maple Grove, Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
They're about a mile apart.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Apparently he bought the house in twenty eighteen, and Paulette,
a practicing physical therapist, said that her husband had previously
received threats. We talked about this lack of coverage and
despite the threats, he was not traveling with security, which
he had in the past traveled with security. Now and
(12:28):
your point about how do they know that this guy
so one of the things that I had seen referenced
in an interview with former NYPD detective. He was saying
that they have, I mean cameras everywhere and not just
the cameras that the NYPD that the city owns. They
have a bunch of cameras, surveillance cameras and cameras that
(12:51):
exist in the buildings or on buildings that they can
basically they know where this shooter was at the moment
of the shooting and just backtrack, follow backwards the journey
that this guy made to get to where he was,
and that's one of the reasons that they believe they
follow that individual camera to camera back to the place
(13:15):
like the hostel, to see his face back to that
hostile I.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Read this morning that he was believed to be staying
there with two other men, which now it all makes
sense to me. While why all three still pictures look
like different guys in the same clothes, They could be
different guys in the same clothes. These could be the
three different men and they're wearing the same clothes, the
same mask. They look kind of similar, but you can
(13:40):
definitely tell the difference when you look at the nose
and the chins as well.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Look at the chin, Look at the chin. I'm telling you.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Those are different noses, different chins, same clothes. This could
be definitely a conspiracy plot, like they hired this team
of guys and because they look similar wearing the same clothes,
you're throwing a bunch of stuff at the wall when
it comes to the investigators.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
And was the shooting itself and the scene of the
shooting intentionally messy?
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Yes, of course it was because there were unfired rounds
on the sidewalk. What about the coffee cup and the
candy wrapper.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
This is all going to come back that he ditched
as well, right, huh huh. Look at the chins, the
chins in the noses.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
They don't lie.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
There was a tragic story that came out of northern
California from yesterday. Is still a lot of mystery around
a shooting at a it's a school, But to say
it's a school, you think of, you know, an elementary
school campus. This was a tiny, tiny private school that
had about thirty kids in it and two kindergarteners were
(14:53):
shot yesterday.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
We'll talk about that.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
It's an awful story, but we try to figure out
exactly what happened.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
There are mystery flying over New Jersey that we'll talk about.
Massive drones as well. They wouldn't scare the hell out
of mind, so.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
That there was another story up in the Santa Clarita
Valley about people using drones to target homes before robberies.
They've noticed a bunch of drums flying and then a
series of burglaries. Uh, what is the defense against drones?
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Shooting them? Shooting them out of the sky? Another reason
I don't have a gun. I don't mind that idea.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
I don't either. I mean, like I have been unnerved
seeing a drone flying. We're sitting out on the deck.
This drone comes by and it just starts hovering like
maybe twenty feet in front of me. What are you doing?
This is like my private living space. The hell out
of here.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
I mean, there's there's someone, some great inventor is going
to come up with, Uh, protect your home against drones?
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Right, It's like some sort of shield where I'll just
bounce off and.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Fall to the ground. Not even that she destroyed.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
A strobe light that you could flash out or something
like that.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
I don't know. Why hasn't that been invented? Some sort
of drone defense.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
We may have not we, but we as a collective,
we may have found the oldest firearm in the continental
United States, three and a half foot bronze cannon in Nogallus, Arizona,
right near the US Mexico border.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
That checks out that it would be there.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
An archaeologist, Denny Seymour says she caught this forty or
uncovered this forty pound cannon. She said it was probably
put together in the early fifteen hundreds and then carried
by Spanish explorers to North America. A few decades after that,
she published her findings in the International Journal.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Of Historical Archaeology.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Seems like it would be it would weigh more than that,
but I guess if it's only three and a half
feet long, it'd be about forty pounds.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
The NFL will not be lessening that punishment against Houston
linebacker Ziz als Shy following his late hit to Trevor Lawrence.
He was suspended three games. He appealed that they said no,
so he will be eligible to return for the Texans
regular season finale against the Titans January fifth. Kind of
(17:18):
maybe a blessing in disguise for the Houston Texans. You're
going to get your star linebacker back right in time
for the playoffs after three week rest. Not good for
the Chargers. He could be going to Houston to play
them in that wild card.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Round right that first weekend. Yeah, and how pissed is
he going to be?
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Members of the Supreme Court majority conservative majority look like
they're going to uphold this law out of Tennessee that
denies transition care to transgender kids. Some of them said
that the judgments about the contested scientific evidence should be
made by legislatures rather than judges. And again, this is
one of those issues where we've seen it before when
(17:57):
the Supreme Court makes decisions about large cases, they're not
actually dealing with the specifics of whether or not it's
legal for a child to receive the gender affirming care,
as they call it. They're deciding it's not. They're basically
saying it's not the federal government's job to decide. It's
(18:17):
going to be up to the state legislatures. John Roberts,
Chief Justice, said the Constitution leaves that question to the
people's representatives rather than to nine people, referring to the court,
none of whom is a doctor right now, Katanji brown Jackson,
if you heard any of the oral arguments that were
(18:39):
made yesterday. Justice brown Jackson responded that leaving the question
to the states was an alarming abdication of responsibility and quote,
I'm suddenly quite worried. We've talked about this before, and
it's a difficult thing to talk about because I don't
think you or I have experienced dealing with someone in.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
The in the throes of questioning their gender.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
We were both teenagers, and there's a lot of weirdness
and uncomfortability and confusion. Yes, that's what being a teenager is.
It's what hormones do to your body. It makes you
insane to be lighthearted about it.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
And you're right. I mean I should sit this one out,
but I'm not going to. It's one thing. If the
kid is questioning the gender or identity or what have you, fine,
question that, but let's not mess around with the hormones
or the surgeries until you're of age. There's no reason
(19:46):
to rush into sex or anything. Even if you're completely
well adjusted and happy with your gender, there's no reason
to rush into any of that stuff until you're eighteen.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
There were two things that caught my eye about this yesterday,
because again, it doesn't impact my life that I know
of right now, so it's so it's hard for me
to be super involved in it. I get involved in it,
and I'm interested in it because of the potential of
protecting kids, right, protecting them.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
There were two things about it.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Number One, the lawyer that was arguing on behalf I
believe of the ACLU or she he's a representative of
the A c l U and was arguing yesterday and
said that this is a decision that the kids make
when it comes to their gender identity, and that they
they know as early as two years old who they
(20:42):
his words, who they really are. When you're two, you
think you're a dog or a fire truck, or a
giant or a midge. I mean, you're two. That any
any parent that would impose gender assignment on a kid
or or introduce that into their brain at the age
(21:05):
of two, should have that child taken away from them.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
We are introducing all of this way too young to kids.
I feel like when I was growing up, I was
introduced into oh, you should be into boys, you should
be into sex, you should be into all this way
too early, to the point where I when I was
twelve thirteen, and I clearly wasn't ready for that biologically,
(21:29):
I didn't look at boys and say, oh I want that. No,
And I remember thinking is there something wrong with me?
Or am I gay?
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Or like, what's the deal? Why am I not.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Into that the way that society's kind of like, I
didn't have this thoughtfully formed, but now looking back, why
am I not into this the way society tells me?
Speaker 2 (21:46):
I should be into this?
Speaker 1 (21:47):
At this stage, when you look at branding and clothes
and movies and all that stuff, you don't know what
you're into for a long time and you're figuring things out.
Eighteen is even a young age, so especially this day
and age, with how sheltered and isolated kids.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Are, why are you rushing into any of this?
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Well, I mean, if you want to be a boy
or girl were dressed that way, fine, but stop talking
about hormones and operations, especially when, like you said, your
hormones are so crazy at that time, you don't even
know what you need hormonally because nothing has just leveled
off and just kind of calmed down a little bit.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
The other thing that I saw with the second thing
was a ten year old identifying as transgender. I mean,
out of respect to the kid and whatever their parents
have been piping into their brains, I don't even know
what the I'm trying to use the right terminology. I
don't know what the child's assigned gender was at birth.
(22:49):
I don't know. I don't know if it's a was
born a boy and is now believes it's a girl
or whatever.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
But this kid, this ten year old kid, said the
biggest concern that was going on in their brain was
that I'm going to kill myself if I don't figure
this out. That that should be lights and sirens warning
signs to those parents, not that they need to get
(23:17):
the gender affirming surgery or hormones.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Or pumid block. That's not what he said. That's not
what she's saying about the milk. It's not about the milk.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
But there's such a desire to be like, well, I
am so progressive and so enthused about this that I
have a child who's so advanced.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
I know, I know.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
And when I was looking through some of the arguments
that were made before the Supreme Court, it was kind
of an all or nothing thing, like if we don't
give these kids the hormone therapy, then they'll kill themselves.
Like that's the either or either therapy or they're going
to commit suicide. No, yeah, that's not.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
What it is stories that we are following.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
A law enforcement official says the mass gunman who killed
the leader of one of the largest US health insurance
companies on it sidewalk in Manhattan used bullets that were
emblazoned with the words.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Denied, defend, and depose.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
The official was not authorized to talk publicly, so this
is still not an official word from the NYPD, but
they said that may have been a reference to strategies
that insurance companies used to try to avoid paying claims.
Of course, United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson died in that
ambush yesterday was he was walking unguarded to the company's
(24:28):
annual investor conference. His wife had made a reference to
some threats that he had received, and he had traveled
with security in the.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Past, but did not have security.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Then, South Korea's president has replaced his defense minister. These
opposition parties are moving to impeach both of them over
the stunning but brief imposition of martial law that we
saw late Tuesday into Wednesday. The opposition parties are pushing
for a vote on a motion to impeach President junsuk
yol on Saturday evening.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Looks like when they're going to have it.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
The mysterious New Jersey drones being investigated by the FBI
recently kept a Metavac helicopter from getting a seriously injured
patient to the hospital.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
This medical helicopter.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Was flying to an accident in Somerset County Tuesday last week,
unable to pick up the crash victim because there were
drones hovering in the landing zone.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
Yeah, there have been a bunch of drone sightings in
this area around central New Jersey. There's one interesting aspect
they said. It's near Bedminster Golf Course, of course, owned
by President Electrump. The drones have been spotted hovering in
groups for hours in the vicinity of the Raretan River
on a nightly basis. One woman in Parsipony claims she
(25:51):
saw up to five of these aircraft buzzing overhead on
Sunday night. The FAA has issued temporary flight restrictions over
a couple of canties because of multiple reports of the
unusual aircraft activity in the airspace over Trump National Golf
Course as well as the Picatinny Arsenal an Army hub
there near Dover, New Jersey.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
And these are drones like the size of cars like
these are big ass drones or not hobbyist drones.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
If you're interested.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
By the way, cal State Fullerton is going to launch
the first bachelor's degree program in history in school history
for drone operators.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Wow, so you could now get your degree in Beyonce
or drones in this great country of ours.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Why can't I do both? Why can't I be a
double major?
Speaker 1 (26:38):
You could do that. That's a lot of that's a
big workload. I don't know if you can handle it.
I feel like I could handle it. Are you going
to pick up a hobby or go back to school
or anything? When in the new year soon twenty five,
stay alive.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
I don't know. Have you thought about it before? Sure?
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Okay, but what would a hobby be? I don't know
what the piano? Oh right, No, I'm not going to
do the piano. Not going to do the piano, not
anytime soon. I'm not saying no forever. I'm just saying
no right now.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
You've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show. You

Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
I was out late last night.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Yeah, I know I was too, but I wasn't doing
any I mean I was having dinner with friends.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
I looked at the clock and we were at California
Adventure for our Coast Christmas kickoff party. I saw the
Coast Parade. I saw Karen Sharp. I ran out on
the parade route to give her a hug. I didn't
know if I was going to get arrested. I saw
Ryan and Ellen, all our friends. It was so much fun.
But anyway, I look at the clock and I said,
(00:40):
it's eleven fifty two. We are going home. My husband
loves California Adventure and Disney landed he will stay. Yeah,
he would have stayed there, and I was like, we
need to leave immediately.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
He secreted himself away in like the Little Mermaid Ride,
just to see if it would go all night.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
And good news is it does. That's great. I cannot
be lee.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
I looked this up today because we've talked about it
before we started the show in October of twenty fifteen.
In May of twenty sixteen, we were in a meeting
with a sales guy at a car dealership and a
couple of the guys at the car dealership had said
to us, have you guys ever.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Heard of bit?
Speaker 3 (01:20):
My god, I know, and we're like, okay, yeah, we've
heard of it. We don't quite get it. Nobody understands
exactly how you make money on it, or what it is,
or what happens if you lose money on it.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
We're fine. I looked it up.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
In May of twenty sixteen, bitcoin was about six hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Bitcoin was about six hundred dollars had we put any
money into bitcoin at that point. Bitcoin has now soared
past the one hundred thousand dollars mark for.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
The first time ever. And I saw a headline.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Today that said bitcoin could hit two hundred thousand before
January first, we were like, oh.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Guy in the big necklace chain, Yeah, well, you don't
know what you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
You're gonna get You're gonna lose your pants on this man,
now listen. He may have, but it's never been below
six hundred since May of twenty sixteen, and it you know,
it'd get up around forty thousand, and we'd like, this
guy's gonna he's gonna feel so stupid when and now
he owns the city of Fresno or wherever.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
I don't know. I bet he doesn't work at a
car dealership anymore. He owns the car dealership.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Now, getting bitcoin is up more than one hundred and
forty percent this year, and is up fifty percent since the.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Election, since November fifth.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
So, speaking of the election, Elon Musk via Ramaswami are
on Capitol Hill today. They're promoting Doze. Of course, the
Department of Government Efficiency. It's not a it's not an
actual government department, but they are there basically discussing with
lawmakers their plans on behalf of President elect Trump. Jordan
(02:58):
Neely's father is now suing Daniel Penny over his son's
choke hold death on that New York City subway car.
The jury in that case still deliberating. I think they're
in their third or they're in their fourth day now
of deliberations about whether or not to convict Daniel Penny
of manslaughter. The lawsuit again by Jordan Neely's father, filed
(03:18):
yesterday accuses him accuses Daniel Penny of negligent contact, assault
and battery that caused injuries and Neely's death.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Do we really have the Lions packers tonight? Is that
a night? I think that that is.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
I think that's what I heard. That's gonna be a
fun game. Well, NFC North Drama Detroit just seems like
they're gonna win the whole damn thing.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Well, they they're so they're toying with people now. I
mean to play the other day where they had a
their their offensive lineman.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Yeah, like roll out like he was going to throw
a pass. Yes, that's fun.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
A three hundred and fifty pound dude that moved like
that and looked like he was ready to throw.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
You're the most dangerous when you're having fun in the NFL,
and they are getting to have fun in Detroit.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Good for them, you guys. This story is not getting
any clearer.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
The words deny, defend, and depose were discovered by detectives
on the shell casings found at the scene where Brian Thompson,
the CEO of United Healthcare, was shot and killed there
in Midtown.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Okay, all right, all right, so Deny, Defend, Depose.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
It's all about insurance companies not paying claims.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
And it's similar to a book called Delay, Deny, Defend.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Which is the subtext of the subtitle Why Insurance Companies
Don't pay claims and What you Can Do about It,
written by Jay Feynman.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
The NYPD says that they have been using cameras and
all these other things to try to locate where this
guy is right now, the gunman. They have been able
to track in different areas, the time leading up to
the shooting early yesterday morning, the time right after the
shooting yesterday morning, and they have released a handful of
pictures that are now a lot more clear where you
(05:09):
can actually see his face, where he's not wearing a
bandanna to cover his nose. And they're expecting that they'll
have an identity on that guy, if they don't already,
they'll have an identity on that guy relatively soon. But
there are so many questions now about Brian Thompson himself,
about what he was involved with, about any potential secrets
(05:30):
that he had in.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
His life, about the executives.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
He was one of many executives under investigation by the
Department of justice.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
He got rid of.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
I was listening to John yesterday on the way home,
and he divested what thirty percent of his stock when
he knew that the company was under investigation before anybody,
before it went public, which is classic insider trading stuff.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
He exercised the stock options, he sold shares that would
have been worth more than fifteen teen million dollars back
in February, two weeks after he did that is when
it came out that this federal anti trust probe was
had been opened.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Is the denied deposed? Whatever? Is that a red herring? Is?
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Are they trying to make it look like this is
somebody who was disgruntled over being denied coverage, when in
fact it was a bigger fish, a bigger, a bigger
money issue.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
You're still you're still to effect to a bigger, bigger
government kind of conspiracy.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
I was suspicious yesterday when the wife listen. I don't
mean to go after people whose spouses have just been
shot and killed in the street, But I was suspicious
yesterday when the wife did that interview with NBC News
when the body wasn't even cold, and she said to
NBC News there have been threats against his life. Now,
if there had been threats against his life, where.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Was his security?
Speaker 1 (06:57):
We've had we've had veiled threats against our lives and
had security.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Well like we are, we are, we are nobody.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
And he's had security in the past. So I wasn't
it there in New York exactly?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Like if it rose to the level of his wife
knowing that there were credible death threats or whatever, you
better believe somebody like that who's worth that much much
money would have security in a place like New York City.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Well, so that's odd. We'll talk more about this week. Okay,
you know how.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
New day new conspiracy theory, baby book in your eye,
You're like, I'm getting to the bottom of this. That's right.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
French Prime Minister Michel Bonnier, I'm not even sure if
he's resigned yet officially, but he is supposed to resign
today because lawmakers in the French parliament voted to h
or succeeded in their vote of no confidence against him.
So he showed up to the President's Palace, the president's
residence uh and talked with him Manuel Nacron.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
And was supposed to step down.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
But any new prime minister that comes and is going
to deal with an awful French government right now. They
are trying to fix these public finance problems that they've
had for years that are kind of coming to a head,
and the Parliament right now is very, very divided, so
a lot of the focus now is going to be
on a Menuel Macrohne himself as he tries to find
(08:20):
a new prime minister and form a new government.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
There these three different surveillance still pictures, two with the
guy not wearing a mask a mask, and one of
them with him wearing the mask slightly over his nose
and mouth. All three noses look different to me.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
So that listen.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
I don't know how the NYPD looks at these videos,
the ones that they have, and can be certain that
that is the same guy.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
I'm not certainly. I agree with you.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Yeah, the one that looks like it is what the
guy was wearing when he shot and killed the CEO.
That's a very that to me is a different face
than the other two of the unmasked And those two
guys don't even look like the same guy, the.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Same clothes, and they're staying in.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
This hostel, which I bet is very popular with young
men of a certain age.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Sure, I don't know. It's just it's very odd to me.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
We're talking about the death of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson,
who was shot and killed early yesterday morning outside a
hotel in Manhattan and the New York Hilton Midtown.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
It depends on who you ask, because some people your
initial response was this is somebody who is not familiar
with guns, and then there's this other thought process of
people are like, this is absolutely a contract killer. This
guy's very familiar with guns. I don't know enough about
guns to make any sort of determination on that.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Well, and some of the evidence would could fit in
either category.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
And now that's the problem.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Like yesterday was saying, when you see the video and
he's racking the sl on this gun, it didn't make
sense to me why he would need to do that.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
It's a semi automatic weapon.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
It's built to eject the shell, load the new one,
pull the trigger again as fast as you can, basically,
and it's going to unload the bullets into whoever you're
shooting at or whatever. But then people are saying, well,
he may have been using subsonic rounds, which wouldn't have
enough power, so that would say, Oh, he's a professional,
he knows what he's doing. But then there were the
(10:26):
shells that were left that had the words written on them.
Would be like, why would the guy leave shells to
trace unless, which would mean he doesn't know what he's doing.
Unless to your point, they wrote it as a red
herring right to throw people off the trail that this
was a professional hit.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
To think it is somebody who's disgruntled that they were
denied coverage.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
You take out the CEO.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
They've said that his schedule was widely available. But I
still don't know how you'd be able to pinpoint that
this is the guy. It's dark out, he's wearing a suit,
he looks like every other white guy that's going to
a convention in New York at the Midtown Hilton.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
How would you know that this was the guy? It's
very odd to me.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
The fact that the wife came out right away and
said that he had had threats to his life was
odd to me as well that she even didn't interview.
And now today it's where heartbroken. He was such a
wonderful husband to our two sons, but all very odd.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Well.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
They they were also separated. Now that doesn't necessarily mean
that she had anything to do with this, obviously.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
But well, he came into how much money? How much
money did he come into? Fifty million dollars?
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Was it million?
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Fifteen million dollars? That to me, it's the same thing
as fifty million, I you know what I mean. But
he came into that in recent months too. Think about that. Well, now,
if they if they, if he's shot and killed before
they get divorced, that that hot summer money rolls right
to her.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
She and Brian Paulette is her name.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
They have been living in separate homes in Maple Grove, Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
They're about a mile apart.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Apparently he bought the house in twenty eighteen, and Paulette,
a practicing physical therapist, said that her husband had previously
received threats. We talked about this lack of coverage and
despite the threats, he was not traveling with security, which
he had in the past traveled with security. Now and
(12:28):
your point about how do they know that this guy
so one of the things that I had seen referenced
in an interview with former NYPD detective. He was saying
that they have, I mean cameras everywhere and not just
the cameras that the NYPD that the city owns. They
have a bunch of cameras, surveillance cameras and cameras that
(12:51):
exist in the buildings or on buildings that they can
basically they know where this shooter was at the moment
of the shooting and just backtrack, follow backwards the journey
that this guy made to get to where he was,
and that's one of the reasons that they believe they
follow that individual camera to camera back to the place
(13:15):
like the hostel, to see his face back to that
hostile I.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Read this morning that he was believed to be staying
there with two other men, which now it all makes
sense to me. While why all three still pictures look
like different guys in the same clothes, They could be
different guys in the same clothes. These could be the
three different men and they're wearing the same clothes, the
same mask. They look kind of similar, but you can
(13:40):
definitely tell the difference when you look at the nose
and the chins as well.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Look at the chin, Look at the chin. I'm telling you.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Those are different noses, different chins, same clothes. This could
be definitely a conspiracy plot, like they hired this team
of guys and because they look similar wearing the same clothes,
you're throwing a bunch of stuff at the wall when
it comes to the investigators.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
And was the shooting itself and the scene of the
shooting intentionally messy?
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Yes, of course it was because there were unfired rounds
on the sidewalk. What about the coffee cup and the
candy wrapper.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
This is all going to come back that he ditched
as well, right, huh huh. Look at the chins, the
chins in the noses.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
They don't lie.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
There was a tragic story that came out of northern
California from yesterday. Is still a lot of mystery around
a shooting at a it's a school, But to say
it's a school, you think of, you know, an elementary
school campus. This was a tiny, tiny private school that
had about thirty kids in it and two kindergarteners were
(14:53):
shot yesterday.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
We'll talk about that.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
It's an awful story, but we try to figure out
exactly what happened.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
There are mystery flying over New Jersey that we'll talk about.
Massive drones as well. They wouldn't scare the hell out
of mind, so.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
That there was another story up in the Santa Clarita
Valley about people using drones to target homes before robberies.
They've noticed a bunch of drums flying and then a
series of burglaries. Uh, what is the defense against drones?
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Shooting them? Shooting them out of the sky? Another reason
I don't have a gun. I don't mind that idea.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
I don't either. I mean, like I have been unnerved
seeing a drone flying. We're sitting out on the deck.
This drone comes by and it just starts hovering like
maybe twenty feet in front of me. What are you doing?
This is like my private living space. The hell out
of here.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
I mean, there's there's someone, some great inventor is going
to come up with, Uh, protect your home against drones?
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Right, It's like some sort of shield where I'll just
bounce off and.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Fall to the ground. Not even that she destroyed.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
A strobe light that you could flash out or something
like that.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
I don't know. Why hasn't that been invented? Some sort
of drone defense.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
We may have not we, but we as a collective,
we may have found the oldest firearm in the continental
United States, three and a half foot bronze cannon in Nogallus, Arizona,
right near the US Mexico border.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
That checks out that it would be there.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
An archaeologist, Denny Seymour says she caught this forty or
uncovered this forty pound cannon. She said it was probably
put together in the early fifteen hundreds and then carried
by Spanish explorers to North America. A few decades after that,
she published her findings in the International Journal.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Of Historical Archaeology.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Seems like it would be it would weigh more than that,
but I guess if it's only three and a half
feet long, it'd be about forty pounds.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
The NFL will not be lessening that punishment against Houston
linebacker Ziz als Shy following his late hit to Trevor Lawrence.
He was suspended three games. He appealed that they said no,
so he will be eligible to return for the Texans
regular season finale against the Titans January fifth. Kind of
(17:18):
maybe a blessing in disguise for the Houston Texans. You're
going to get your star linebacker back right in time
for the playoffs after three week rest. Not good for
the Chargers. He could be going to Houston to play
them in that wild card.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Round right that first weekend. Yeah, and how pissed is
he going to be?
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Members of the Supreme Court majority conservative majority look like
they're going to uphold this law out of Tennessee that
denies transition care to transgender kids. Some of them said
that the judgments about the contested scientific evidence should be
made by legislatures rather than judges. And again, this is
one of those issues where we've seen it before when
(17:57):
the Supreme Court makes decisions about large cases, they're not
actually dealing with the specifics of whether or not it's
legal for a child to receive the gender affirming care,
as they call it. They're deciding it's not. They're basically
saying it's not the federal government's job to decide. It's
(18:17):
going to be up to the state legislatures. John Roberts,
Chief Justice, said the Constitution leaves that question to the
people's representatives rather than to nine people, referring to the court,
none of whom is a doctor right now, Katanji brown Jackson,
if you heard any of the oral arguments that were
(18:39):
made yesterday. Justice brown Jackson responded that leaving the question
to the states was an alarming abdication of responsibility and quote,
I'm suddenly quite worried. We've talked about this before, and
it's a difficult thing to talk about because I don't
think you or I have experienced dealing with someone in.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
The in the throes of questioning their gender.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
We were both teenagers, and there's a lot of weirdness
and uncomfortability and confusion. Yes, that's what being a teenager is.
It's what hormones do to your body. It makes you
insane to be lighthearted about it.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
And you're right. I mean I should sit this one out,
but I'm not going to. It's one thing. If the
kid is questioning the gender or identity or what have you, fine,
question that, but let's not mess around with the hormones
or the surgeries until you're of age. There's no reason
(19:46):
to rush into sex or anything. Even if you're completely
well adjusted and happy with your gender, there's no reason
to rush into any of that stuff until you're eighteen.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
There were two things that caught my eye about this yesterday,
because again, it doesn't impact my life that I know
of right now, so it's so it's hard for me
to be super involved in it. I get involved in it,
and I'm interested in it because of the potential of
protecting kids, right, protecting them.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
There were two things about it.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Number One, the lawyer that was arguing on behalf I
believe of the ACLU or she he's a representative of
the A c l U and was arguing yesterday and
said that this is a decision that the kids make
when it comes to their gender identity, and that they
they know as early as two years old who they
(20:42):
his words, who they really are. When you're two, you
think you're a dog or a fire truck, or a
giant or a midge. I mean, you're two. That any
any parent that would impose gender assignment on a kid
or or introduce that into their brain at the age
(21:05):
of two, should have that child taken away from them.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
We are introducing all of this way too young to kids.
I feel like when I was growing up, I was
introduced into oh, you should be into boys, you should
be into sex, you should be into all this way
too early, to the point where I when I was
twelve thirteen, and I clearly wasn't ready for that biologically,
(21:29):
I didn't look at boys and say, oh I want that. No,
And I remember thinking is there something wrong with me?
Or am I gay?
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Or like, what's the deal? Why am I not.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Into that the way that society's kind of like, I
didn't have this thoughtfully formed, but now looking back, why
am I not into this the way society tells me?
Speaker 2 (21:46):
I should be into this?
Speaker 1 (21:47):
At this stage, when you look at branding and clothes
and movies and all that stuff, you don't know what
you're into for a long time and you're figuring things out.
Eighteen is even a young age, so especially this day
and age, with how sheltered and isolated kids.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Are, why are you rushing into any of this?
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Well, I mean, if you want to be a boy
or girl were dressed that way, fine, but stop talking
about hormones and operations, especially when, like you said, your
hormones are so crazy at that time, you don't even
know what you need hormonally because nothing has just leveled
off and just kind of calmed down a little bit.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
The other thing that I saw with the second thing
was a ten year old identifying as transgender. I mean,
out of respect to the kid and whatever their parents
have been piping into their brains, I don't even know
what the I'm trying to use the right terminology. I
don't know what the child's assigned gender was at birth.
(22:49):
I don't know. I don't know if it's a was
born a boy and is now believes it's a girl
or whatever.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
But this kid, this ten year old kid, said the
biggest concern that was going on in their brain was
that I'm going to kill myself if I don't figure
this out. That that should be lights and sirens warning
signs to those parents, not that they need to get
(23:17):
the gender affirming surgery or hormones.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Or pumid block. That's not what he said. That's not
what she's saying about the milk. It's not about the milk.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
But there's such a desire to be like, well, I
am so progressive and so enthused about this that I
have a child who's so advanced.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
I know, I know.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
And when I was looking through some of the arguments
that were made before the Supreme Court, it was kind
of an all or nothing thing, like if we don't
give these kids the hormone therapy, then they'll kill themselves.
Like that's the either or either therapy or they're going
to commit suicide. No, yeah, that's not.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
What it is stories that we are following.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
A law enforcement official says the mass gunman who killed
the leader of one of the largest US health insurance
companies on it sidewalk in Manhattan used bullets that were
emblazoned with the words.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Denied, defend, and depose.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
The official was not authorized to talk publicly, so this
is still not an official word from the NYPD, but
they said that may have been a reference to strategies
that insurance companies used to try to avoid paying claims.
Of course, United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson died in that
ambush yesterday was he was walking unguarded to the company's
(24:28):
annual investor conference. His wife had made a reference to
some threats that he had received, and he had traveled
with security in the.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Past, but did not have security.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Then, South Korea's president has replaced his defense minister. These
opposition parties are moving to impeach both of them over
the stunning but brief imposition of martial law that we
saw late Tuesday into Wednesday. The opposition parties are pushing
for a vote on a motion to impeach President junsuk
yol on Saturday evening.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Looks like when they're going to have it.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
The mysterious New Jersey drones being investigated by the FBI
recently kept a Metavac helicopter from getting a seriously injured
patient to the hospital.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
This medical helicopter.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Was flying to an accident in Somerset County Tuesday last week,
unable to pick up the crash victim because there were
drones hovering in the landing zone.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
Yeah, there have been a bunch of drone sightings in
this area around central New Jersey. There's one interesting aspect
they said. It's near Bedminster Golf Course, of course, owned
by President Electrump. The drones have been spotted hovering in
groups for hours in the vicinity of the Raretan River
on a nightly basis. One woman in Parsipony claims she
(25:51):
saw up to five of these aircraft buzzing overhead on
Sunday night. The FAA has issued temporary flight restrictions over
a couple of canties because of multiple reports of the
unusual aircraft activity in the airspace over Trump National Golf
Course as well as the Picatinny Arsenal an Army hub
there near Dover, New Jersey.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
And these are drones like the size of cars like
these are big ass drones or not hobbyist drones.

If you're interested.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
By the way, cal State Fullerton is going to launch
the first bachelor's degree program in history in school history
for drone operators.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Wow, so you could now get your degree in Beyonce
or drones in this great country of ours.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Why can't I do both? Why can't I be a
double major?
Speaker 1 (26:38):
You could do that. That's a lot of that's a
big workload. I don't know if you can handle it.
I feel like I could handle it. Are you going
to pick up a hobby or go back to school
or anything? When in the new year soon twenty five,
stay alive.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
I don't know. Have you thought about it before? Sure?
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Okay, but what would a hobby be? I don't know
what the piano? Oh right, No, I'm not going to
do the piano. Not going to do the piano, not
anytime soon. I'm not saying no forever. I'm just saying
no right now.
