Speaker 8 (05:35):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
You know, I think this is maybe the first year
where I feel no amount of maybe I should do
something tonight, maybe I should go somewhere. I think all
the the shred of fomo has left.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
I feel perfectly happy be not doing anything.
Speaker 6 (06:01):
Completely out of your body.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
I'll watch the nine o'clock ball drop thing on the telly,
you know, and feel the comfort of my couch with
my blankets. My husband, if he chooses to hang out
with me.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
He's somewhere right now going.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
I shouldn't make the decision to go out, you know,
that would be good.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
For both of us. We were talking about highlights for
this past year. What about you think of your highlight
for this year? I mean you talked about your mom.
That's pretty yes, pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Yeah, very thankful she.
Speaker 6 (06:37):
Went through cancer treatment and came out happier on the
other side.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Yes, yeah, that's a big one.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
That is that's pretty significant. I'm thankful for you. I
felt like I had to say that.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
You didn't have to, just because I'm sitting here and
you obviously didn't sell it.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
I know you didn't even make eye contact.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
Sorry, you looked at the Christmas tree.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
I am. I am thankful for you, begging you to
say that.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
No, and I you know, I know I don't always
say it, but I realize it, especially when you're not here.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
I'm making it, am I making it worse? Uh huh okay,
what about you? What are you? What's your highlight of
the year We've been healthy? Yeah, yeah, that's so huge.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
I mean I had a great family vacation, yes, back
in July, and I mean it was the entire fan
everybody's there.
Speaker 6 (07:36):
That was great.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
That was great. You know what my highlight of twenty
twenty six is going to be getting fired.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Oh yeah, we might get fired, but listen, you know,
we can always pivot.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
You know, we'll do a show, will.
Speaker 6 (07:54):
Be like a I could see the Wiener Schnitzel from here.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Okay, we're not going to do it at the Wiener Schnitzel.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
Oh that's where we're going to work.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Oh, I'll work at a Wainer's sencil. I'm totally down
with that. I'll bring my mics, Okay, right.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Yeah, I mean that would be fun to work some
odd jobs and then do like a podcast about it.
Speaker 6 (08:15):
Oh, that's interesting.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
From your kitchen. Interesting you need to pick up some pickles.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Like yeah, like the podcast would be Hey, I'm picking
up these, you know, maybe you work at each place
for you know, six months or whatever, you learn the
lay of the land as an adult who needs to
have like a second act because you got fired from
whatever job.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
I mean, it's common people get fired all the time.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
So you're talking about starting on what would otherwise be
a relatively thought of as an entry level job, like
working at a right shop.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Because here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
If we got fired today, if we got the email
or the key card didn't work or what have you,
I would need a job by Monday.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
So I would take whatever's available.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
So it probably would be you know, I mean, first
choice for me would be to go to Jersey Mics,
just because I mean, there's so many reasons.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
I don't have to explain myself, but I need to
have a job. I need to go somewhere.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
I need to go somewhere every day, So I would
probably I mean, I'm not saying Monday per se, but
maybe the next Monday. I'm don't have to have something
lined up pretty quickly, So it might be at a
Wiener Schnitzel, you know, it might be at a Dell Taco.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
Where do you think you could get hired right now?
Like today, you walk in there and you're like, are
you guys hiring?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
And they're like, well, well, I, first of all, I
want to work. I think that's a big thing.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Second of all, I have experience in the food industry, sis,
food sciences. No, but I you know, I did put
five years into the food industry before this radio thing.
I know what I'm doing. I know to wash dishes.
I can work in the kitchen, like, that's fine. I
can do all the customer service, great customer service. I
(09:51):
can do the front sure. So I like the I
think the will to work should get me. Oh, it
should seeing what's out out there in terms of customer service.
The idea that I want to work and that I
will be there on time and I want to earn
that paycheck and I want to do the thing that
should be enough to get me past the whole.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
I have never worked at a Jersey Mix before. Problem.
I think you'd be fine.
Speaker 6 (10:15):
Gary and Shannon love the show. Hey you yeah, low lights?
Well let's talk about low lights for me.
Speaker 9 (10:21):
I've been married thirty four years and it's good and yeah,
this is year number seven without any sex, but funny
with love no sex.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
But the highlight is that maybe this year.
Speaker 7 (10:36):
What will be the year?
Speaker 6 (10:38):
Well, hi, so let's go twenty six. Yeah, let's go
with this twenty six. I hope for you that that problem.

So my high this year was winning tickets to the
Woody Show after party at California Adventure in April. Nicety,
kg La, me and three Mavesties went and had a
fabulous time. My low was the Monday before Christmas when
my fourteen year old maltese Ace experienced vertigo.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
We didn't know what it was.
Speaker 10 (12:29):
Watching him trying to walk and flop around like a fish.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Is very scary.
Speaker 10 (12:34):
So he's better now.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Happy New Year, Ace. I'm glad Ace is better. Now.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
What are you laughing at? You're hysterical? You're imagining her
dog flopping around?
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Okay, all right, there's is there children here? I think
there's children here. There's children in the hallway. You need
to clean it up, Clean it up, CLEANYI.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
And Shannon was.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Going blind about three weeks after I bought a new car,
and my high was always hearing me on the talk back.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
I like you guys, I appreciate you.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Thank you and me got me through the pandemic and
now you're going to get me through another year.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
I love you.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Have a good mom. Wait, what happened with the blindness?
Is that temporary?
Speaker 6 (13:25):
I hope?
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Oh my gosh, I really explain that. Wait, let me
look at and Shannon love your show. Thank you. Low
Light of the year, Oh boy, losing both parents. Yeah,
been very sad. Yeah. Highlight of the year.
Speaker 9 (13:41):
Meeting the absolute love of my life after being single.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
For five years. Oh so quiet, she's sleeping. Oh, definitely
a note. Thank you have a great meet by congratulations.
Hope you guys have a great few.
Speaker 12 (13:57):
This is Blair in Las Vegas, Nevada. Early in twenty
five I divorced my gambler spouse and with the money
I was able to save this year, I paid off
my car and half of my house.
Speaker 6 (14:09):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Great.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
What was his game? Was it craps? It was everything
women's ping pong in Japan? I'm curious.
Speaker 6 (14:23):
What was the one thing that he lost all that?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
What was he into?
Speaker 11 (14:26):
You know?
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Was it a pie gow? Probably not pi cow. You
can't lose that much money on pie gow if you
stay there long enough.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
No, probably push you can go temporarily blind from a
various from various things, blood flow issues, ocular No, only
because it was three weeks before she bought her car,
right or after. It was after, so she bought a
new car and then couldn't drive it. That's why it
was connected. Yeah, if you bought a new car and
then you went blind, you'd be like, f I can't
(14:54):
drive that car. But ocular migraines, eyestrain, standing up too fast.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Can make you go blind. Is that right? Let me
try that. Yep. See, that's why science comes here for
its information.
Speaker 8 (15:11):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
Our rain, our rain is expected to strengthen. It's been
rain and throughout most of southern California, at least the
coastal regions all the way up through the Bay Area.
As a matter of fact, the rain that has started
now will continue and will get heavier. I saw a
report this morning that suggested that the rain will peak
(15:38):
in terms of intensity tomorrow morning, just in time for
the Rose Parade, and in fact it might actually break up.
I don't think the clouds are going to break up,
but it is not expected to rain significantly during the
Rose Bowl game tomorrow afternoon. The weather back east has
been a problem as well, but nothing like this in
(15:59):
terms of the evacuations that we've seen. If you are
headed to the parade by the way, as of right now,
you can start claiming space, but anything people, property, blankets, chairs, whatever,
have to stay on the curb until eleven o'clock tonight.
After eleven o'clock you can move out to what they
call that honor line on the street there. And if
(16:21):
you're going to be out there, you're crazy. But if
you're crazy and you're going to be out there, you
can have a barbecue, but it has to be small
and it can't be homemade. They say it's got to
be a professionally made barbecue.
Speaker 6 (16:37):
I'm a professionally.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
And if you are under the age of eighteen, you
can only be out there. You can only be on
the parade route ten o'clock tonight to five o'clock tomorrow
if if you are supervised by an adult.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Hey, Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 10 (16:53):
My highlight for twenty twenty five was leaving my full
time job to become a stay at home mom and
getting to listen to you guys all day, every day.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Thank you that's nice.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
I don't know if i'd want to expose our kids
to this, but you know that's what people do.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
I think it's pretty tame. It's time for what you're
watching Wednesday. Yeah, the following program is brought to you
in Living colors, but you're watching in there. America's Love Television.
Speaker 6 (17:19):
They win their kids USA Television.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
You've been watching too many of those live television shows. Okay,
so we've told you how we all liked All Her Faults.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
The Beast and me good. Not as good in my
opinion as All Her Fault, but kind of.
Speaker 6 (17:36):
I got two episodes left.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Similar kind of thriller esque vibe.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
I have found another one in this vein, and it
is called Little Disasters and it is available on Paramount
Plus Amazon Prime, and it is if you like parenting themes,
which I didn't think that I would be into when
I read the synopsis for All Her Fault, but became
very much into it. But you'll like this one as well.
(18:02):
It's kind of like a friend group and a baby
gets a bump on her head kind of situation, and
then all the friend group and their secrets kind of
unravel or are they secrets or.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Are they not. It's pretty darn good.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
I haven't finished it, but I'm a couple episodes away,
and I kind of burned through the first three or
four episodes Little Disasters. It's if you liked All Her Fault.
It's in that same kind of arena.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
This sounds familiar. There was a this may have been
a TV show, but there was some TV episode where
a friend ends up spanking their friend's child, like as
a reprimand in the moment of something like that happening.
Speaker 6 (18:46):
It's not the exact same thing.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
No one's spanking anyone's child here.
Speaker 6 (18:50):
No, this is an accident, you said.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Nobody's Yeah, but it's not like the friend hit the
baby or something like that.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
It's we don't know if it was an accident. Yeah,
so it's good. I believe it seems like it was
a book. Yeah, it was a book by Sarah Vaughn.
You can see why I would make a good book.
But yeah, it's a good show. I think it's only
six episodes. Little Disasters is the name.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
A bunch of people have suggested some of the shows
that they have been watching.
Speaker 13 (19:19):
Oh, I'm so excited to finally share my what you're
watching Wednesday, because I'm only like Shannon late on Yellowstone
on this. I'm finally watching Game of Thrones and it
is nasty and it is gory and it is not
my alley, but I have to finish it because I
am sick and tired of not knowing what the heck
people are talking about.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
That's funny. I think I'm like, what.
Speaker 7 (19:41):
Ten years too late? But hey, I got there, Jamis throws.
Speaker 6 (19:47):
That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
I mean, they're good shows that everyone watches and talks
about for a reason. There's no reason you can't just
be late to the party.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
There is a good there's a reason why everybody talked
about him.
Speaker 6 (19:57):
Your point.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
I watched or I am one watching Sons of Anarchy
finally because it's what was off the or ten years
or eight years ago or.
Speaker 6 (20:05):
Something like that.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
Yeah, and my wife watched it and always thought I
would enjoy it, and I never got around to it
because the longer it got into the show, five six,
seven seasons, I thought that's just gonna take forever.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
And I don't.
Speaker 6 (20:17):
I do not, I do not binge. Well like I don't.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
I won't sit there and watch four episodes of something
usually I have in the past, good thing. But so
the task of watching you know, twelve or thirteen episodes,
seven seasons, that's gonna take me a year.
Speaker 6 (20:37):
It just and I don't that doesn't appeal to me.
But it's a good enough show.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
I mean there are shows like that that I go,
I should have watched this in the first place.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
And I wouldn't have been late on the whole thing.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
I do have a tea. I have two things we'll
do on the other side of the break. One of
them is a gas go around about things that people
have watched this in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 11 (21:00):
Happy New Year, Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 7 (21:04):
What you're watching?
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Yes, it's a mini series called Staircase. Oh yeah, it's
pretty wild. That's about that's of sex between dudes. Oh no,
it's not the hockey movie. But it's intense.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
I thought the Staircase was a story about them killed
his wife.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
All right, Happy New Year.
Speaker 11 (21:25):

came out.
Speaker 6 (24:23):
So I'm looking for the top box office for the
whole year.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
I don't know. I don't think I've seen any correct.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
Zootopia two came in at number six. I will go
with Wicked. Wicked for Good is number five. Oliver, you
were successful and came close to get another one in there.
Sinna's Sinners is number seven. Do you defer?
Speaker 2 (24:51):
I guess Wicked?
Speaker 6 (24:53):
You did? Guess with it correct?
Speaker 1 (24:54):
It's another round. I see listen, Conway's been off for
a while. I forget how to play these games.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
I will go with Roofman.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
No, we'll go. Here's here's the breakdown. Number ten is Avatar.
Fire and Ash just came out, but has already made
two hundred and sixteen million.
Speaker 6 (25:16):
How To Train Your Dragon was the ninth.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
The eighth is Fantastic Four, The First Steps You Heard, Sinners, Zootopia,
Wicked for Good the fourth highest grossing movie this year.
Jurassic World Rebirth Superman number three. Leelo and Stitch came
in at number two, where Dumb People and the number
one box office draw of twenty twenty five.
Speaker 6 (25:42):
A minecraft movie.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Even worse, that's that's the state of the American box office.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Right, Wow, what a weird world we live in, right,
Where are the movie stars?
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Where are the movie stars?
Speaker 4 (26:00):
Well, this and this may this may be. I don't
know if this is going to make it feel better
or worse. But we also have a list of the
most watched television shows over the course of this year.
And let's see one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
All of those thirteen the top sixteen of the most
(26:25):
watched television shows this year. All of the top sixteen's
sixteen are sporting events. Okay, yeah, the vast majority of
those are football.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Yeah, live events.
Speaker 6 (26:39):
You've got.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
Super Bowl obviously was the big winner, with one hundred
and twenty seven thousand people, sorry, one hundred and twenty
seven million people watching. Number two. Number two was half that.
Number two was the AFC Championship game between the Chiefs
and the Bills at fifty eight fifty eight million. The
number five, the only one that's not a football game,
(27:01):
was number five on that list, and that was World
Series Game seven.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Yeah, for about twenty seven what a cinematic but think
about this.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
Elis just the how viewing, listening, whatever has changed over
the course of thirty forty years. Twenty seven million people
watching that game seven. That's the fifth most watched program
of the year. Twenty seven million. Twenty seven million used
to be what people would watch on a Tuesday at
(27:33):
nine to thirty, right, like the sitcoms would kill for
a twenty seven million, or they know sitcoms would would
laugh at twenty seven million. If you got sixty or
seventy million, that was a much more appropriate and regular occurrence.
But now twenty seven million counts as the fifth highest
most watched program.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
And again part of it is because it's live.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
But like I said, fifteen of the top sixteen are football,
one of them is baseball. The number seventeen is the
OSCARS telecast, which was again you talked about you don't
watch award shows like this anymore, and they've kind of
fallen off. But then after number seventeen, number eighteen, nineteen,
(28:17):
twenty twenty one, two, all the way through. In fact,
they even count the NFL weather delay with seventeen million
people as being the seventh twenty seventh.
Speaker 6 (28:29):
Most watched live event on television.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
You've got football, You've got the NCAA Final four, and
then at number thirty three on the.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
List is the sixty seventh Grammy Awards.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
There's two award shows in the top thirty three, and
the rest of it is sports.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
I'm gonna call BS on your sitcom would get sixty
million on a Tuesday?
Speaker 6 (28:49):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (28:50):
I just don't think so.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
I'm looking up Luke and Laura's wedding nineteen eighty one
that got thirty million viewers. Really Friends finale two thousand
and four got fifty two million. Those were big, big events.
I don't think they were pulling sixty million on a sitcom.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Well, I don't want to end the show with you
correcting me. I know I don't either. I don't ever
want to be that person.
Speaker 6 (29:14):
So what do we do?
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Let me see if I can find something that makes
you right? Oh? Here we go. Oh, there's smoke coming
from the system. Check is that white? It's hard to
say that's white?
Speaker 11 (29:27):

have something that's better. Cheers.
Speaker 1 (29:36):

the the shred of fomo has left.

Speaker 6 (06:16):
He's somewhere right now going.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
I shouldn't make the decision to go out, you know,
that would be good.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
For both of us. We were talking about highlights for
this past year. What about you think of your highlight
for this year? I mean you talked about your mom.
That's pretty yes, pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Yeah, very thankful she.
Speaker 6 (06:37):
Went through cancer treatment and came out happier on the
other side.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Yes, yeah, that's a big one.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
That is that's pretty significant. I'm thankful for you. I
felt like I had to say that.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
You didn't have to, just because I'm sitting here and
you obviously didn't sell it.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
I know you didn't even make eye contact.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
Sorry, you looked at the Christmas tree.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
I am. I am thankful for you, begging you to
say that.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
No, and I you know, I know I don't always
say it, but I realize it, especially when you're not here.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
I'm making it, am I making it worse? Uh huh okay,
what about you? What are you? What's your highlight of
the year We've been healthy? Yeah, yeah, that's so huge.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
I mean I had a great family vacation, yes, back
in July, and I mean it was the entire fan
everybody's there.
Speaker 6 (07:36):
That was great.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
That was great. You know what my highlight of twenty
twenty six is going to be getting fired.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Oh yeah, we might get fired, but listen, you know,
we can always pivot.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
You know, we'll do a show, will.
Speaker 6 (07:54):
Be like a I could see the Wiener Schnitzel from here.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Okay, we're not going to do it at the Wiener Schnitzel.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
Oh that's where we're going to work.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Oh, I'll work at a Wainer's sencil. I'm totally down
with that. I'll bring my mics, Okay, right.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Yeah, I mean that would be fun to work some
odd jobs and then do like a podcast about it.
Speaker 6 (08:15):
Oh, that's interesting.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
From your kitchen. Interesting you need to pick up some pickles.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Like yeah, like the podcast would be Hey, I'm picking
up these, you know, maybe you work at each place
for you know, six months or whatever, you learn the
lay of the land as an adult who needs to
have like a second act because you got fired from
whatever job.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
I mean, it's common people get fired all the time.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
So you're talking about starting on what would otherwise be
a relatively thought of as an entry level job, like
working at a right shop.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Because here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
If we got fired today, if we got the email
or the key card didn't work or what have you,
I would need a job by Monday.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
So I would take whatever's available.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
So it probably would be you know, I mean, first
choice for me would be to go to Jersey Mics,
just because I mean, there's so many reasons.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
I don't have to explain myself, but I need to
have a job. I need to go somewhere.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
I need to go somewhere every day, So I would
probably I mean, I'm not saying Monday per se, but
maybe the next Monday. I'm don't have to have something
lined up pretty quickly, So it might be at a
Wiener Schnitzel, you know, it might be at a Dell Taco.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
Where do you think you could get hired right now?
Like today, you walk in there and you're like, are
you guys hiring?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
And they're like, well, well, I, first of all, I
want to work. I think that's a big thing.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Second of all, I have experience in the food industry, sis,
food sciences. No, but I you know, I did put
five years into the food industry before this radio thing.
I know what I'm doing. I know to wash dishes.
I can work in the kitchen, like, that's fine. I
can do all the customer service, great customer service. I
(09:51):
can do the front sure. So I like the I
think the will to work should get me. Oh, it
should seeing what's out out there in terms of customer service.
The idea that I want to work and that I
will be there on time and I want to earn
that paycheck and I want to do the thing that
should be enough to get me past the whole.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
I have never worked at a Jersey Mix before. Problem.
I think you'd be fine.
Speaker 6 (10:15):
Gary and Shannon love the show. Hey you yeah, low lights?
Well let's talk about low lights for me.
Speaker 9 (10:21):

fabulous time. My low was the Monday before Christmas when
my fourteen year old maltese Ace experienced vertigo.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
We didn't know what it was.
Speaker 10 (12:29):
Watching him trying to walk and flop around like a fish.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Is very scary.
Speaker 10 (12:34):
So he's better now.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Happy New Year, Ace. I'm glad Ace is better. Now.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
What are you laughing at? You're hysterical? You're imagining her
dog flopping around?
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Okay, all right, there's is there children here? I think
there's children here. There's children in the hallway. You need
to clean it up, Clean it up, CLEANYI.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
And Shannon was.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Going blind about three weeks after I bought a new car,
and my high was always hearing me on the talk back.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
I like you guys, I appreciate you.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Thank you and me got me through the pandemic and
now you're going to get me through another year.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
I love you.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Have a good mom. Wait, what happened with the blindness?
Is that temporary?
Speaker 6 (13:25):
I hope?
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Oh my gosh, I really explain that. Wait, let me
look at and Shannon love your show. Thank you. Low
Light of the year, Oh boy, losing both parents. Yeah,
been very sad. Yeah. Highlight of the year.
Speaker 9 (13:41):
Meeting the absolute love of my life after being single.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
For five years. Oh so quiet, she's sleeping. Oh, definitely
a note. Thank you have a great meet by congratulations.
Hope you guys have a great few.
Speaker 12 (13:57):
This is Blair in Las Vegas, Nevada. Early in twenty
five I divorced my gambler spouse and with the money
I was able to save this year, I paid off
my car and half of my house.
Speaker 6 (14:09):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Great.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
What was his game? Was it craps? It was everything
women's ping pong in Japan? I'm curious.
Speaker 6 (14:23):
What was the one thing that he lost all that?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
What was he into?
Speaker 11 (14:26):
You know?
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Was it a pie gow? Probably not pi cow. You
can't lose that much money on pie gow if you
stay there long enough.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
No, probably push you can go temporarily blind from a
various from various things, blood flow issues, ocular No, only
because it was three weeks before she bought her car,
right or after. It was after, so she bought a
new car and then couldn't drive it. That's why it
was connected. Yeah, if you bought a new car and
then you went blind, you'd be like, f I can't
(14:54):
drive that car. But ocular migraines, eyestrain, standing up too fast.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Can make you go blind. Is that right? Let me
try that. Yep. See, that's why science comes here for
its information.
Speaker 8 (15:11):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
Our rain, our rain is expected to strengthen. It's been
rain and throughout most of southern California, at least the
coastal regions all the way up through the Bay Area.
As a matter of fact, the rain that has started
now will continue and will get heavier. I saw a
report this morning that suggested that the rain will peak
(15:38):
in terms of intensity tomorrow morning, just in time for
the Rose Parade, and in fact it might actually break up.
I don't think the clouds are going to break up,
but it is not expected to rain significantly during the
Rose Bowl game tomorrow afternoon. The weather back east has
been a problem as well, but nothing like this in
(15:59):
terms of the evacuations that we've seen. If you are
headed to the parade by the way, as of right now,
you can start claiming space, but anything people, property, blankets, chairs, whatever,
have to stay on the curb until eleven o'clock tonight.
After eleven o'clock you can move out to what they
call that honor line on the street there. And if
(16:21):
you're going to be out there, you're crazy. But if
you're crazy and you're going to be out there, you
can have a barbecue, but it has to be small
and it can't be homemade. They say it's got to
be a professionally made barbecue.
Speaker 6 (16:37):
I'm a professionally.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
And if you are under the age of eighteen, you
can only be out there. You can only be on
the parade route ten o'clock tonight to five o'clock tomorrow
if if you are supervised by an adult.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Hey, Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 10 (16:53):
My highlight for twenty twenty five was leaving my full
time job to become a stay at home mom and
getting to listen to you guys all day, every day.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Thank you that's nice.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
I don't know if i'd want to expose our kids
to this, but you know that's what people do.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
I think it's pretty tame. It's time for what you're
watching Wednesday. Yeah, the following program is brought to you
in Living colors, but you're watching in there. America's Love Television.
Speaker 6 (17:19):
They win their kids USA Television.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
You've been watching too many of those live television shows. Okay,
so we've told you how we all liked All Her Faults.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
The Beast and me good. Not as good in my
opinion as All Her Fault, but kind of.
Speaker 6 (17:36):
I got two episodes left.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Similar kind of thriller esque vibe.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
I have found another one in this vein, and it
is called Little Disasters and it is available on Paramount
Plus Amazon Prime, and it is if you like parenting themes,
which I didn't think that I would be into when
I read the synopsis for All Her Fault, but became
very much into it. But you'll like this one as well.
(18:02):
It's kind of like a friend group and a baby
gets a bump on her head kind of situation, and
then all the friend group and their secrets kind of
unravel or are they secrets or.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Are they not. It's pretty darn good.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
I haven't finished it, but I'm a couple episodes away,
and I kind of burned through the first three or
four episodes Little Disasters. It's if you liked All Her Fault.
It's in that same kind of arena.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
This sounds familiar. There was a this may have been
a TV show, but there was some TV episode where
a friend ends up spanking their friend's child, like as
a reprimand in the moment of something like that happening.
Speaker 6 (18:46):
It's not the exact same thing.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
No one's spanking anyone's child here.
Speaker 6 (18:50):
No, this is an accident, you said.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Nobody's Yeah, but it's not like the friend hit the
baby or something like that.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
It's we don't know if it was an accident. Yeah,
so it's good. I believe it seems like it was
a book. Yeah, it was a book by Sarah Vaughn.
You can see why I would make a good book.
But yeah, it's a good show. I think it's only
six episodes. Little Disasters is the name.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
A bunch of people have suggested some of the shows
that they have been watching.
Speaker 13 (19:19):
Oh, I'm so excited to finally share my what you're
watching Wednesday, because I'm only like Shannon late on Yellowstone
on this. I'm finally watching Game of Thrones and it
is nasty and it is gory and it is not
my alley, but I have to finish it because I
am sick and tired of not knowing what the heck
people are talking about.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
That's funny. I think I'm like, what.
Speaker 7 (19:41):
Ten years too late? But hey, I got there, Jamis throws.
Speaker 6 (19:47):
That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
I mean, they're good shows that everyone watches and talks
about for a reason. There's no reason you can't just
be late to the party.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
There is a good there's a reason why everybody talked
about him.
Speaker 6 (19:57):
Your point.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
I watched or I am one watching Sons of Anarchy
finally because it's what was off the or ten years
or eight years ago or.
Speaker 6 (20:05):
Something like that.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
Yeah, and my wife watched it and always thought I
would enjoy it, and I never got around to it
because the longer it got into the show, five six,
seven seasons, I thought that's just gonna take forever.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
And I don't.
Speaker 6 (20:17):
I do not, I do not binge. Well like I don't.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
I won't sit there and watch four episodes of something
usually I have in the past, good thing. But so
the task of watching you know, twelve or thirteen episodes,
seven seasons, that's gonna take me a year.
Speaker 6 (20:37):
It just and I don't that doesn't appeal to me.
But it's a good enough show.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
I mean there are shows like that that I go,
I should have watched this in the first place.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
And I wouldn't have been late on the whole thing.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
I do have a tea. I have two things we'll
do on the other side of the break. One of
them is a gas go around about things that people
have watched this in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 11 (21:00):
Happy New Year, Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 7 (21:04):
What you're watching?
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Yes, it's a mini series called Staircase. Oh yeah, it's
pretty wild. That's about that's of sex between dudes. Oh no,
it's not the hockey movie. But it's intense.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
I thought the Staircase was a story about them killed
his wife.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
All right, Happy New Year.
Speaker 11 (21:25):
Can't wait till you guys get back.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Crime novelist accused of killing wife after at the bottom
of the Staircase.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
We watched that like a few years ago. Michael Peterson,
Oh yes, I had a couple other dead wives and.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
Tony That's one I had forgotten. But I'm glad the
people are catching up.
Speaker 11 (21:43):
I Friday finished the final two seasons A Better Call Saul,
and honestly I forgot how good it is. It's one
of those shows that doesn't give you what you want
at the end.
Speaker 6 (21:52):
Interesting, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Vince Gilligan, of course, from Better Carl Saul is now
doing Pluribus, which we've been watching on Apple TV and
I have.
Speaker 6 (22:03):
Been very slowly disliking it.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
There's nothing going on.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Yeah, I had that questions about with that show from go.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
It's a weird it does make you think, and I
like that.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
It's a creative, it's it's interesting, but I just want
there to be something else happening.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Yeah, something's got to happen.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
There's got to be like pressure, there are the aliens coming?
Is the mind virus taking everybody? What's what's going on
when we come back? A fun little game about what
you watch on Wednesday?
Speaker 2 (22:32):
I love fun games.
Speaker 6 (22:34):

the last year.
Speaker 6 (23:17):

Speaker 2 (23:20):
Fine, you could do that. This is Do you want

Speaker 6 (23:27):

You get to go first Superman.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
Superman was the number three, number three, with three hundred
and fifty four million Debra.
Speaker 6 (23:49):
Think of a movie top box office movies this year?
Speaker 2 (24:00):

What did I want? Okay?
Speaker 10 (24:12):
Okay, Well, there is a movie that I keep.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
I keep Marty Supreme. I haven't seen it, but I
know that that was a lot of people saw that
just came out. Though, Okay, that's the problem. It just
came out.
Speaker 6 (24:23):
So I'm looking for the top box office for the
whole year.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
I don't know. I don't think I've seen any correct.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
Zootopia two came in at number six. I will go
with Wicked. Wicked for Good is number five. Oliver, you
were successful and came close to get another one in there.
Sinna's Sinners is number seven. Do you defer?
Speaker 2 (24:51):
I guess Wicked?
Speaker 6 (24:53):
You did? Guess with it correct?
Speaker 1 (24:54):
It's another round. I see listen, Conway's been off for
a while. I forget how to play these games.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
I will go with Roofman.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
No, we'll go. Here's here's the breakdown. Number ten is Avatar.
Fire and Ash just came out, but has already made
two hundred and sixteen million.
Speaker 6 (25:16):
How To Train Your Dragon was the ninth.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
The eighth is Fantastic Four, The First Steps You Heard, Sinners, Zootopia,
Wicked for Good the fourth highest grossing movie this year.
Jurassic World Rebirth Superman number three. Leelo and Stitch came
in at number two, where Dumb People and the number
one box office draw of twenty twenty five.
Speaker 6 (25:42):
A minecraft movie.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Even worse, that's that's the state of the American box office.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Right, Wow, what a weird world we live in, right,
Where are the movie stars?
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Where are the movie stars?
Speaker 4 (26:00):
Well, this and this may this may be. I don't
know if this is going to make it feel better
or worse. But we also have a list of the
most watched television shows over the course of this year.
And let's see one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
All of those thirteen the top sixteen of the most
(26:25):
watched television shows this year. All of the top sixteen's
sixteen are sporting events. Okay, yeah, the vast majority of
those are football.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Yeah, live events.
Speaker 6 (26:39):
You've got.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
Super Bowl obviously was the big winner, with one hundred
and twenty seven thousand people, sorry, one hundred and twenty
seven million people watching. Number two. Number two was half that.
Number two was the AFC Championship game between the Chiefs
and the Bills at fifty eight fifty eight million. The
number five, the only one that's not a football game,
(27:01):
was number five on that list, and that was World
Series Game seven.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Yeah, for about twenty seven what a cinematic but think
about this.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
Elis just the how viewing, listening, whatever has changed over
the course of thirty forty years. Twenty seven million people
watching that game seven. That's the fifth most watched program
of the year. Twenty seven million. Twenty seven million used
to be what people would watch on a Tuesday at
(27:33):
nine to thirty, right, like the sitcoms would kill for
a twenty seven million, or they know sitcoms would would
laugh at twenty seven million. If you got sixty or
seventy million, that was a much more appropriate and regular occurrence.
But now twenty seven million counts as the fifth highest
most watched program.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
And again part of it is because it's live.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
But like I said, fifteen of the top sixteen are football,
one of them is baseball. The number seventeen is the
OSCARS telecast, which was again you talked about you don't
watch award shows like this anymore, and they've kind of
fallen off. But then after number seventeen, number eighteen, nineteen,
(28:17):
twenty twenty one, two, all the way through. In fact,
they even count the NFL weather delay with seventeen million
people as being the seventh twenty seventh.
Speaker 6 (28:29):
Most watched live event on television.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
You've got football, You've got the NCAA Final four, and
then at number thirty three on the.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
List is the sixty seventh Grammy Awards.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
There's two award shows in the top thirty three, and
the rest of it is sports.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
I'm gonna call BS on your sitcom would get sixty
million on a Tuesday?
Speaker 6 (28:49):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (28:50):
I just don't think so.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
I'm looking up Luke and Laura's wedding nineteen eighty one
that got thirty million viewers. Really Friends finale two thousand
and four got fifty two million. Those were big, big events.
I don't think they were pulling sixty million on a sitcom.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Well, I don't want to end the show with you
correcting me. I know I don't either. I don't ever
want to be that person.
Speaker 6 (29:14):
So what do we do?
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Let me see if I can find something that makes
you right? Oh? Here we go. Oh, there's smoke coming
from the system. Check is that white? It's hard to
say that's white?
Speaker 11 (29:27):
Bro?
Speaker 2 (29:28):
That is Relax. Relax until bro, that's white. Wait, I
have something that's better. Cheers.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Viewership finale, May nineteen ninety three estimates from eighty to
ninety three million viewers.
Speaker 2 (29:45):

of people. Happy New Year. Hey you, Happy New Year.

Speaker 6 (30:21):
I like a lemon cake.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
You like a lemon cake? Yes, okay, I need the cake. Yeah,
that's the whole point of lemon cake is to get
the lemon frosting in your mouth.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Got it. That's a dumb question. That was stupid, And
you're right, and now you've corrected me. And no, I
don't want cake. You don't want cake. No, you don't
want a lemon cake with lemon frosting. I do want
