Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
A M six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Motivational Monday comes along at the bottom of the hour.
Something to perk us up a little bit, get us
out there and getting ready to run through walls or
Seattle's defense.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
It wasn't a Disney movie ending, but it was a
good start and it wasn't a disaster.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Some people were saying it was going to be a disaster.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
It was definitely not.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
It was not a disaster. A lot of screens, A
lot of screens. What else is going on?
Speaker 4 (00:34):
To step drop time four? What's happening?
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Well, the Feds say they have foiled in New Year's
Eve terror plot right here in southern California.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Four people arrested. You heard it here on KFI this morning.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
They were plotting and organized sophisticated and extremely violent violent
attack or series of attack. The Fed say the group
had planned to bomb several companies on New Year's Eve.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Kill Davis is the FBI Assistant director in charge here
in La.
Speaker 5 (01:05):
The subject arrested envision planting backpacks with improvised explosive devices
to be detonated at multiple locations in southern California, targeting
US companies. These bombs were to blow up at the
same time on midnight this New Year's Eve. The plan
stated that the IDs would be complex pipe bombs and
(01:26):
included instructions on how to manufacture the bombs and contain
guidance on how to avoid leaving evidence behind that could
be traced back to them.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
This again was credited to a group called the Turtle
Island Liberation Front, which I had never heard of before
about eight o'clock this morning, of course, the death of
Rob Reiner and his wife continued to generate headlines. The latest,
of course, is trying to figure out exactly what would
have driven their son, Nick to murdering them. He's being
(01:57):
held right now four million dollars bail. We mentioned a
litle little bit earlier that TMZ was reporting that people
at a Conan O'Brien Christmas party on Saturday night that
was attended by all three of them, by Rob Reiner,
by Michelle Reiner, and by Nick, that they got into
some sort of a very loud argument at that party
(02:17):
on Saturday night, and that at one point Rob and
his wife Michelle left the party early. We don't know
if this was a continuation of that stem from that,
whatever it.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Was, and one of the reason Epstein photo dumps there
is an image of Steve Bannon and Jeffrey Epstein sitting
at a desk. On the desk as a framed photograph
of what appears to be a young girl.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Passed out on a couch.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
So now you've got people in Washington saying, okay, Epstein's
proudly displaying photos of his victims, and people at the
US House Oversight Committee say what are we doing here?
Speaker 6 (02:50):
Folks?
Speaker 1 (02:50):
People in Washington knew what was going on. All the
documents and the photos that continue to be released are
case in point, So that's not going away.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
This is the week the Department of Justice is supposed
to release all of their files. This is also the
week that three I Atlas is going to fly closer
to Earth than at any other time. Do you remember
this was a little bit before my time, Not that
I was ever a soap opera guy, but the Luke
and Laura wedding on General Hospital was supposed to be
(03:21):
sort of groundbreaking for TV at some time.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
It was never a soap opera devote but my grandmother
was all general hospital and my mother was all days
of our lives.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
It turns out that Luke of Fuke and Laura has
passed away. Seventy eight year old Anthony Geary, eight time
Daytime Emmy winner, his husband, announced his death to TV
Insider over the weekend. He passed away on the fourteenth
because of complications from a scheduled operation earlier in the week.
(03:55):
They said that that marriage, that on screen loc and
Laura marriage which was watched by thirty one million people
when it aired.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Wow, what year did that air?
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Eighty one eighty one highest rated soap opera episode in
the history of American Television's.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Like a royal wedding? When did Princess Diana get married?
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Diet eighties eighty eight eighty nine.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
I don't remember eight, nineteen eighty one, So there, Wow,
that was our royal wedding.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Our version of it.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
California has joined a federal lawsuit against the Uber service.
California joined the FTC and other states in this lawsuit,
alleging that Uber uses deceptive practices. Specifically, they said that
the Uber one subscription program charges customers for its subscription
without their consent, doesn't deliver the promised savings, including free
(04:51):
delivery fees, and makes it difficult for users to cancel
their subscription. All that consumers also were supposedly subscribed without
their consent, and those who were subscribed still had to
pay those delivery fees even though they said that they wouldn't.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Those who tried to cancel faced an uphill battle.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Airbnb is activating its anti party technology to prevent big parties.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Essentially. They say this is the.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Five year anniversary of its global ban on disruptive parties.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Parties remain rare on the platform, they say, AHA. During
last year's New Year's Eve period, approximately three hundred people
in LA were deterred from booking an entire home listing
after being flagged by the company's screening system. They analyzed
hundreds of signals to identify bookings that may pose a
party high risk dates like New Year's Eve? What else?
(05:47):
I under?
Speaker 4 (05:48):
What else?
Speaker 3 (05:48):
What else? What else?
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Is the tip away the tip that you're going to
be having a party. Do you look at what else
they've ordered?
Speaker 3 (05:56):
What would you order if you were having a New
Year's party at a house in the Hollywood Hills besides
your Airbnb what.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Would I order it like to have what would you
order for your party? Hooker? Okay, no, no, I was
asking you.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
It reminds me check out ours, so that reminds me
our elves.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
We will have our elves.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Richie has crafted the video and we will post that
Gary and Shannon about us finding our elves. This is
an awful the poor and if you're wondering about Philip
Rivers and we'll get into more of this coming up next.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
It just broke. He will be starting Monday night against
the forty nine ers. Blessings that is going to be again.
Just just thank your lucky stars, Philip that Fred Warner
is out for the season and Nick Bosa still He's
(06:50):
going to get Robert Solis still there and all the
guys he got from the practice squad to play like veterans.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
How did that happen?
Speaker 3 (06:59):
I don't know. I don't know. The forty nine ers.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Of severely together, Sam.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Hatch together and Brock Purty looks like Patrick Mahomes out
there with his antics.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
We'll come back.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
We'll talk about our guest fantasy for play and some
of what went on in the world of football and
our motivational Monday is still to come. But we have
also got that story about these workers in their forties
going back to.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
School and what it is that they're studying.
Speaker 7 (07:28):
Also, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
I forgot about the fact that our hunting for elves
quest that I made it another full of myself.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Oh that was pretty spectacular. I don't even what are
you doing. You were waving a.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Waving guy, the one person who comes to work.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
Yes, so you're you were facing away.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
And I said, hi guy, and I walk right into it.
Speaker 6 (07:57):
Gus.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
If you like physical comedy, this is what.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
It did. I think it did.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
My wife loves physical comedy.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
I feel like I did it for her, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
Wait to see what her reaction is. The video will
be up by the time the show is done. We're
editing it up and then they'll be available. Okay, awesome
and pats everything. I love that.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
A couple updates on the stories that we have been
we've been talking a lot about. Today, Director actor Rob
Reiner and his wife Michelle found stabbed to death in
their home in Brentwood.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Their son has been arrested.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
The FBI detained and then released a what they said
was a person of interest in the shooting at Brown University.
As of right now, they don't have anybody, although there
are live images of the FBI search for evidence in
Rhode Island as they continue to try to find somebody.
Australian police say they expect to bring criminal charges against
(08:52):
the gunmen who's hospitalized after that shooting spring which fifteen
people were killed at Bondai Beach there in Australia. Weatherwise,
the West Coast, another huge Pineapple Express. It's going to
dip into California this time, but this starts in northern
California up along the coast, especially up through Oregon and Washington.
(09:12):
They're saying they could see a foot of rainfall in
some of those areas, more flooding, more landslides, more power.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Outages as a result of as a result of all
of that.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Well, you said it on Friday, it is going to
be a wild week in the NFL, and you are
absolutely correct. Another weekend of entertainment headlined by a forty
four year old Philip Rivers coming out of retirement. Been
on the couch for five years, but not really was
he coaching his son's high school team to a victory
(09:44):
all the while, but still not in the NFL. He
comes back and decides to helm the Indianapolis Colts fighting
for a wildcard spot.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
They are going to Seattle to face.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
One of the strongest defenses, the strongest fronts there in
the NFL. You know what, it wasn't a disaster through
for a touchdown, pass through for an interception there at
the end, had some awkward moments of stumbling and trying.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
To get up.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
But there was Philip Rivers all alone on that field,
the first one out there, going through the game plan,
visualizing it and just being the ultimate competitor, because that's
what Philip Rivers does.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
One hundred and twenty yards.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
He was eighteen for twenty seven, perfectly acceptable for what
for what he is, I mean, forty four year old guy. Yes,
like you said, the Disney story, at least this portion
of it didn't start out right because he didn't get
the win.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
But in the Disney movie, but you don't get the
win in the beginning.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
In the Disney movie, right, yeah, And even spoiler alert
Friday Night Lights, they didn't win the state championship.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Oh my gosh, So I met a guy at Joe's
Barbecue in Kansas City who manns the ribs and his
name's Landry, And I said to him, was your mom
a fan of Friday Night Lights? And he said she
went to that high school in West tax Axis that
they based it.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
On, uh, Midland Odessa. Yeah, Permian, I think it was
the name for it.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Yeah yeah, but anyway, not cool. Wow yeah those look
Oh my god, the ribs. I'll stop it. Like it's
a real ding down between the burnt ends and the ribs.
But I think the ribs take the top tier there
and then the burnt ends.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
My only problem with ribs is just the way people
eat them.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
You didn't have to make a mess of yourself what
it fell off the bone Like I was eating ribs
wearing white and it didn't get anywhere near my clothes
like that. It was just the meat was so I
can't I don't get me started talking about the ribs
right now. Okay, but anyway, Philip Rivers.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
So we all struggled to watch Philip Rivers right because
they're playing the the Rams game and the after it
was the afternoon game, right.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
So you can only get it on the red zone.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
No, no, so which I didn't realize this. CBS did. Oh,
they did the Colts Seahawks game, and Fox did the
the Raims.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
You got two afternoon games. Yeah that's rare, okay because.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
I was just one the Chargers. Obviously we're the only right.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
But sometimes they'll just play the one in the afternoon.
So anyway, that's awesome. But this will not be hard
to find because Rivers is going to start week sixteen
and it is on Monday night game in front of
the country. You guys, this is where the Disney movie
picks up steam, does it not. This will be a
national audience.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
It will be. It will be in Indianapolis, right I
think so?
Speaker 6 (12:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (12:28):
So my god.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
And now, remember, Philip Rivers is playing for a coach
that he's known for years. He ran the Colts offense
with his kids high school team. He talked to coach
Shane Stike and the head coach of the Colts every
week about this offense, how it was developing, things to
look out for. He knows this offense like the back
(12:51):
of his hand. They've got Jonathan Taylor, as you saw
if you watch that game, as the ultimate security blanket,
best running back in the league. This season just to
hand off that ball too. But this is going to
be albeit an injured forty nine Ers defense, a very
strong forty nine ers defense that he'll have to contend with.
But the last time he was in that stadium, I mean,
(13:13):
he won a playoff game with the Colts in twenty
twenty one in January. So it is a friendly crowd.
They are going to be rooting for him like everybody else.
There's been a few commentators that I saw and they
how are connected to Cam Newton, who is very upset
that he didn't.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Get the phone call, but that have said, oh, this
is a mistake, this is awful. He knows Philip Rivers
knows how to protect himself. Well, it's not an elder
abuse or whatever, it's not a malpractice.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
But everything else that you just laid out as well.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
He knows the entire system back then, he probably walked
in there knowing ninety percent of the playbook. I mean,
the idea that he was learning from, you know, from
the ground level, is not true.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
It's also great that Philip Rivers looks like every other
forty four year old guy out there. Like you're watching
Philip Rivers, You're like that is me. I mean, I'm not.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Saying I look down the bar and you're like, wait,
there's like six of you.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Exactly, It's like, oh, I can do it.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
I mean his postgame comments about yeah, there's doubt, there's
always going to be doubt, but you know, take a chance.
The safe thing to do is not take a chance,
and take a chance. There's a lot of good gems
in there.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
There is a reason why.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
However, you could play baseball until you're seventy and you
can't play football until you're fifty.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Like, that's there is clearly a reason for that.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Tonight, let's see, so the Rams lock up their playoff
spot with a win of the Lions forty one thirty forty.
Yesterday the Chargers knocked to the Chiefs out of the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
The Chiefs are out of the playoffs. Guys, Cowboys are
out of the playoffs. Things are looking good for America.
We will not have to watch the Chiefs, so the
Cowboys this postseason.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Tonight tonight, Dolphins and Steelers. We'll square out from Monday
Night football. The other thing that was notable yesterday was
the number of well, there were a few very high
profile players which probably suffered season ending injuries, Patrick Mahomes
being one of them. Like we said, the Chiefs, they
weren't going to be in the playoffs anyway, so it's
not like they're going to lose out on him for
(15:20):
the rest of the season. Micah Parsons with the Packers
went down, DeVante Adams with the Rams went down, and
then the unusual player being carted off the field. We
saw yesterday in the Cardinals game one of their wide
receivers was hit with an eck injury. I think it
was during a kick return, and they did the thing
where they unscrew his face mask from his helmet, strap
(15:43):
him down so he's immobilized onto the stretcher.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
They said, he's going to be okay.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Now the Steelers tonight, you're thinking Dolphin Steelers, Eh, Well,
the Steelers are fighting to stay atop the AFC North.
Steelers and Ravens there at the top of AFC North
both have seven wins a piece. So this is a
big one for the Steelers to get tonight and a
big one for the Dolphins to spoil their fun on
so that happens. Just look at what the Saints did
(16:07):
to the poor Panthers who were trying to fight for
their their their division lead. Poor pant poor panthers, just
because I picked them. How did we do, Buffalo Bill?
I went three and one? You would and you went
three and one, So.
Speaker 6 (16:23):
You both did pretty good? Pretty good?
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Cool?
Speaker 6 (16:26):
Yeah, not not a full like clean sweep, but we're
talking three to one. That's some good numbers.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
It's good. Did you go four and oh one week?
Speaker 6 (16:32):
I went four and o one week. I'm still chasing that.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
High we all do.
Speaker 6 (16:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
I don't think either one of us has gone four
and oh.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
No, you've gone four and at least once. Let me check.
I have this really convoluted.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Uh no, it's a beautiful mind in there, isn't it?
Speaker 4 (16:50):
Do you haven't? Do you need some more red yarn.
Speaker 6 (16:53):
Checks cross?
Speaker 3 (16:54):
I love it?
Speaker 8 (16:55):
All?
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Right? When we come back, what are we doing? Motivational Monday?
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Quick update on our stories and then we're going to
get into a motivational Monday and then of course a
lot of people going back to school in their forties.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
I think I should go do something.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
What do you have to learn? What do you mean?
Speaker 3 (17:09):
I think I should go back to school learn something?
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Okay, what do you want? What kind of I thought
about this a lot.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
My daughter will be your tutor if you want to
get into organic chemistry.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
No, are you kidding me?
Speaker 6 (17:19):
It's a great Why won't you.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Because I'm a dumb, dumb elmer. We got ai No
that you're not allowed. You're missing in allow.
Speaker 7 (17:30):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
So Richie came in here and he says, is it
He's like, I'm asking for a friend. But is it
worse come to worse or worst come to worse or
worst come to worst or you know.
Speaker 6 (17:53):
What is it?
Speaker 3 (17:54):
What is that saying?
Speaker 2 (17:54):
What are the words? What are the words worse and worst?
Or is it worst and worse?
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Or is it the same word worse to work, worse
comes to worse or worst comes to worst? And I said, Richie,
I think I've used a combination of those my whole life,
whenever I've said that worst comes to worst. Yeah, I
think you drop off the last letter worse comes to worse.
Speaker 6 (18:18):
I actually go worse comes to worse. But there's a
I feel like worst would be more.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Kind of makes more sense. Right, it's worse, but it's
not the worst. So if it's worse comes to worst.
That sounds like it would make the most sense. But
I mean, we're gonna get We're gonna be flooded. I
think with people who are like.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Oh my gosh, I can't believe you don't know this.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
How do you have a radio show? Why I should have?
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Don't we get those all the time?
Speaker 4 (18:44):
Well, yeah, but I usually don't play them.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
I know they're there. I know in my heart.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
It's okay, it's a motivational Monday. Anyway, it is a
motivational Monday, Richie. Thank you for that.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
I'll play the money in our football theme again, just because,
oh well, we'll see them on Monday before we get
to that, before we get to that. I wanted to
play this because I thought this was important. The guy
mentioned this while we were talking about football.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
Hi, guys, this is christ Aukstar.
Speaker 8 (19:06):
Just to call and tell you, guys real quick that
for the first time, I listened to the Chargers game
on KFI and not the TV. Well, actually, I think
the TV up turned down. The TV guys turned Shannon
and her crew up and it was so enjoyable. After
a while, I didn't even need the TV. I just
did chores and listen to the game. It was so
much fun. I'm gonna be doing it that way from
(19:27):
now on. So good job, guys, great show, Talk to
you later.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
I've been doing that.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
For years, and that's part of the problem. They don't
whoever's doing the games, it's not sync. Do you do
have to if you have a you know, a TV,
the digital whatever, doesn't matter. You can delay it and
play it and figure it out. The TV networks don't
often put their A team on Chargers games, and I
(19:54):
mean obviously depends on who they're playing and what the
record is and all that sort of thing. Well, how
many eyeballs they think they're going to get on it,
But they don't always have their A team on it,
and that's frustrating to hear.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
So I'd rather hear familiar voices.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
That's nice idea motivational Monday, we were talking about how
we're going to see Philip Rivers on Monday Night Football
next week when the Colts play the forty nine Ers
on Monday Night Football. Forty four year old guy back
in the league. After the Colts lost a couple of
quarterbacks and they needed somebody who's going to fit right
in and Philip Rivers fit that bill.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
Not only does he know the head coach, he knows
the offense.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
He knows how to get to Indiana although they play
in Seattle.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Philip Rivers loves football so much he's rolling his dice
with the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Some would argue, oh, what did you think about that?
Speaker 1 (20:38):
What happens when they vote for the Hall of Fame
is it's the sports writers right. They vote for the
Hall of Fame, and then the list dwindles, it gets winnowed.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
And he was a finalist this year for the Hall
of Fame. Now, you got to be out of the
league five years to be eligible. He's out of there
five years. He makes it to the finalist round. Philip
Rivers never won a Super Bowl. That's a lot of
people's bar for terms of quarterback getting into the Hall
of Fame. But what a record, a what a long,
storied career he had has. So it sets back the clock.
(21:09):
Him activated on the COLT sets about the clock.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
So now it's another five years after this experiment is over.
So now you're looking the earliest for Philip Rivers is
twenty Well, I mean it's not going to play another season.
You're looking at him rolling the dice again. Now in
twenty thirty one.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
Wow, he's born in Alabama.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
He goes and plays football for the North Carolina State Wolfpack.
He won ACC Player of the Year acc Athlete of
the Year in two thousand and three and four.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Is that where he's given the speech?
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Yeah, okay, yeah I found that out. But yes, he
was drafted fourth overall by Do you remember who he drafted,
Philip Rivers. Yeah, who drafted Philip Rivers wasn't the Chargers.
They traded this team traded in.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Well, they drafted Manning, right, and this was the year
that it was Rivers, Manning and Ben Roethlisberger. Right, they
came out at the same time.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Yeah, that sounds right, two thousand and four ish five ish.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Well, then you answered your own question.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
I don't remember the Giants. The Giants, I didn't remember that.
But then when they traded for right, right, Ali, he
said he would never play for San Diego.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
So Philip Rivers goes back to his alma mater at
NC State and is telling these guys, I mean and
you can if you've ever seen the video of this guy,
he is with the biggest smile on his face, talking
about his love of the game of football, yes, but
his love of the guys that are playing the game
(22:40):
of football with him.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
And you didn't have to bleep any of it, none
of it.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
You're all dad gummez.
Speaker 9 (22:45):
You play hard, you play tough, and you played a game.
And when I say played hard, it's everything. You do
hard all season, conditioned, you lift weights hard. If you're
gonna do eight reps or something, do it hard. You
gotta be tough. You got to be mentally and physically tough.
Look back ain't for soft. It ain't for soft people.
It ain't for mentally weak people. You gotta be tough. Lastly,
(23:09):
and my favorite thing about football, favorite thing has been
many years when it's my favorite thing played and dance.
And that's why I love seeing those guys last night.
It's together.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
You gotta love each other.
Speaker 9 (23:21):
The fourth quarter of my ends in the dirt as
an offensive guard, and I know my center needs me.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
To give him a little bit because he can't reach
that shade. He's struggling reaching that shady.
Speaker 9 (23:30):
Then I'm gonna give him.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
A little more because they want to help him.
Speaker 9 (23:34):
Because I love you and I want to win, but
because I love him and dad gummtt whoever's back there
playing quarterback, I'm not letting him get.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
Hit because I love him.
Speaker 9 (23:43):
If you're a free technique and you better eat up
the double team so the Mike linebacker can get that
ice so right in the mouth, right, dude, because you
love the guy back there, I want him to make
the tackle so bad that I'm not there.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
Letting this guy come off on me on adult team?
Speaker 9 (23:57):
Right?
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Can I play today, coach.
Speaker 5 (24:02):
Go?
Speaker 9 (24:02):
And it just gets me fired up. It gets me
fired up to be in here, to see be a
part of NC State.
Speaker 5 (24:09):
Wolf Pack and play college football.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
It really doesn't get any better. It does not get
me better.
Speaker 9 (24:13):
There's no other college football player in the country that
has it better than you do.
Speaker 6 (24:18):
Not one.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
There isn't one.
Speaker 9 (24:20):
There's not a place better. And I've seen I haven't
seen every place. I've seen enough of them, and I
walked into another day, and there's not a better place
than that, Tosh spring practice and the condition to go
get some extra work in on your own in the summer,
in the winter the best. It's the best place in
the world. And y'all get to at eighteen to twenty
two years old, y'all get to do it.
Speaker 6 (24:38):
It's awesome.
Speaker 9 (24:39):
I'm fired up to be in here.
Speaker 6 (24:40):
I wish I could suit up and play today.
Speaker 9 (24:42):
You can get after some of you guys on defense.
I'm where y'all.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
I love an ISO with a full back, just with
a linebacker clear in the path.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
And you could just hear it boozing out of.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
All he loves it.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
And that's what you want to hear as a fan.
You want players that love football and just bleed it.
And it's frustrating when you know, and I know there's
a number of people that get involved in football for
financial reasons or maybe they used to love the game
and they fall out of love. But it's rare to
find someone who loves the game that much for that long.
Speaker 6 (25:16):
You know.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
That's like harbass stuff there. I'm gonna play till I can't.
I'm gonna coach till I die.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
When we come back.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Headed back to school, Shannon's going to pick a major
when we come back.
Speaker 7 (25:27):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on Demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
This story about Rob and Michelle a Reiner and their
murder in their home over in Brentwood is going to
continue for days. I mean, there are questions about what
may have prompted their son to do this, what condition
he was in. We know that there may have been
an argument, a public, loud, public argument on Saturday night
before they died, and things like time of death. All
(25:57):
of that stuff is going to add to details to
this already just horrific story, tragic story, but we will
continue to watch that. Tomorrow we'll spend some more time
talking about not just the impact that Rob Reiner had
on American movies and television in the eighties and nineties
(26:17):
is undeniable. I mean, he and probably two or three
other directors had a stranglehold on just the powerhouse that
was Hollywood.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Layoffs, stagnant pay, and AI those are three reasons why
many in their forties are heading back to classrooms and
trade schools. Some are making radical career changes, going from
chef to software engineer. Some are getting higher degrees in
their field to stand out from peers as qualification standards intensify.
(26:54):
My mom got her masters when I want to say
she was.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Fifty too, did she? Yeah, that's funny. Some who skip
college after high school are going to go back to college.
Now what happens in your forties.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Well, a lot of people have a family, they've got work,
and then they've got school. So you've got to do that,
and you're also taking on that new debt of your education.
Cindy Woodie earned her master's at forty one, completed her
doctor at forty seven.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
She says, I'm a good investment.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
She teaches educational leadership.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
That sounds.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
It gave me a headache, that sounds. She said. Longevity
runs in her family.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Great grandma lived to almost be one hundred, so she
knew she was not going to retire when other people do, so,
she said. She quit full time while going back to school.
She quit watching TV. She handed off housework to other
family members so she could attend the in person classes
at night, and on Saturdays.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
She would block off. Check this out.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
She would block off between three am and six a m.
To write her papers.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Oh boy, oh, Cindy.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
More than a million people in their forties are enrolled
in undergraduate or graduate programs right now. And then there's
skilled trade apprenticeship programs. Those can cost as little as
three thousand dollars. Huge return on that.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
That's the thing. Yeah, that's the key.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
I know, even if you're forty fifty and you're looking
for a place to go back to do not go
back and get your art history degree.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Now do something where there's going to be a big return,
like trade and apprenticeship programs. One fourth of the students
enrolled in a Pennsylvania job training program or in their forties.
They're learning plumbing, carpentry, construction, healthcare. Always going to have
job security with those big four plumbing, carpentry, construction, healthcare.
AI is not going to come in and do all
(28:50):
those jobs. Yeah, or electrician, I mean electrician as well. Yes,
one student enrolled in a four year butcher apprenticeship.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Now we're talking learning to process meat products according to
the USDA standards.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
We may have stumbled upon some.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
That's what you want to get back into, potentially meat science.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
I'm not great at knives.
Speaker 4 (29:10):
What does that mean?
Speaker 3 (29:12):
I'm I need to have.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
A stronger discipline and fear of knives. I'm pretty willy
nilly with the knives.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
Cut your fingers a lot, No, I just have one
pretty bad one. I should have probably gotten stitches, but
I'm just not good with them. They've never been good
with I gotta I gotta pay extra attention. I'm using
knives because I'm pretty dumb, dumb when it comes to that.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
The other thing is that if you have a pretty
solid career that you're interested in or that you know
is going to be around for a while, you simply
have more certificates or degrees in that same thing, which
could potentially, you know, bump you up the ladder if
whatever whatever your profession happens.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
I thought it'd be.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Fun to get a law degree and you get to
assertions and you're like, ah, this is mind numbing.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
That's a lot of mind numbing stuff in the school.
In the schools, what would you do?
Speaker 4 (30:02):
I think a trade school would have been would be my.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
I think you'd be great at that. That'd be cool,
that'd be fun.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
To watch, it would be.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
I wouldn't say it would be easy, but it's something
that I'm interested in any way.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
I mean, I've seen a Bennett how.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
And you built that fence, man.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
I've seen the benefit of being able to work with
your hands, and I know the feeling that it gives me.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
You'll get something you'l proud of yourself.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
A friend of mine saw the fence last night and
he said, where's your sign? I said, what were you
talking about? He said, If I built that, I'd put
a sign out in front of that. I would tell
I'm back here, check out.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
With tell everyone that would listen. That fence would be
the screensaver on my phone. I'd tell checkers at the
grocery store.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
Right, it's not that much.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
It's like when you save that baby. You never talk
about all of your wins, and they're huge. That fence,
the baby that you broke that window of the car
to save. That's two things I would tell everybody about
that every day of my life.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
If I did those two.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Things, they all put a sign up of just a baby,
and they'll go, is that a baby on your fence?
And I say, funny, should mention both of those things
in the same sentence, because yeah, I'd separate them.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
You would keep the baby away from the fence.
Speaker 4 (31:07):
Why.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
I don't know, two different, two different demos too. I
think the baby things for the women and the fencing
for the dudes.
Speaker 4 (31:15):
Right, you don't think dudes would be impressed by saving a.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
Baby, not as much as a baby jubtless that they.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
Didn't get to save the baby. And I did.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
I think you're hitting on something that interesting.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Okay, all right, but the fence thing, they'd be like,
Oh I could do that, I could totally do that.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Yeah, they would see inspiration in your story. John Cobalt
coming up. How many babies do you think, John, how
many babies have you saved?
Speaker 8 (31:40):
None?
Speaker 1 (31:40):
We've got a big zero. All right, Well that's what
you can expect.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
A guy who doesn't save babies is coming up next.
Speaker 4 (31:49):
Guy who didn't build his own fence.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
If you want to hear about saving babies, you will
turn into our show tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
At starting at nine am. All right, we'll see you tomorrow.
Stay dry. Everybody you've been listening to The Gary and
Shannon Show. You can always hear us live on KFI
AM six forty nine am to one pm every Monday
through Friday, and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio ap
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
A M six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Motivational Monday comes along at the bottom of the hour.
Something to perk us up a little bit, get us
out there and getting ready to run through walls or
Seattle's defense.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
It wasn't a Disney movie ending, but it was a
good start and it wasn't a disaster.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Some people were saying it was going to be a disaster.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
It was definitely not.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
It was not a disaster. A lot of screens, A
lot of screens. What else is going on?
Speaker 4 (00:34):
To step drop time four? What's happening?
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Well, the Feds say they have foiled in New Year's
Eve terror plot right here in southern California.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Four people arrested. You heard it here on KFI this morning.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
They were plotting and organized sophisticated and extremely violent violent
attack or series of attack. The Fed say the group
had planned to bomb several companies on New Year's Eve.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Kill Davis is the FBI Assistant director in charge here
in La.
Speaker 5 (01:05):
The subject arrested envision planting backpacks with improvised explosive devices
to be detonated at multiple locations in southern California, targeting
US companies. These bombs were to blow up at the
same time on midnight this New Year's Eve. The plan
stated that the IDs would be complex pipe bombs and
(01:26):
included instructions on how to manufacture the bombs and contain
guidance on how to avoid leaving evidence behind that could
be traced back to them.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
This again was credited to a group called the Turtle
Island Liberation Front, which I had never heard of before
about eight o'clock this morning, of course, the death of
Rob Reiner and his wife continued to generate headlines. The latest,
of course, is trying to figure out exactly what would
have driven their son, Nick to murdering them. He's being
(01:57):
held right now four million dollars bail. We mentioned a
litle little bit earlier that TMZ was reporting that people
at a Conan O'Brien Christmas party on Saturday night that
was attended by all three of them, by Rob Reiner,
by Michelle Reiner, and by Nick, that they got into
some sort of a very loud argument at that party
(02:17):
on Saturday night, and that at one point Rob and
his wife Michelle left the party early. We don't know
if this was a continuation of that stem from that,
whatever it.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Was, and one of the reason Epstein photo dumps there
is an image of Steve Bannon and Jeffrey Epstein sitting
at a desk. On the desk as a framed photograph
of what appears to be a young girl.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Passed out on a couch.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
So now you've got people in Washington saying, okay, Epstein's
proudly displaying photos of his victims, and people at the
US House Oversight Committee say what are we doing here?
Speaker 6 (02:50):
Folks?
Speaker 1 (02:50):
People in Washington knew what was going on. All the
documents and the photos that continue to be released are
case in point, So that's not going away.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
This is the week the Department of Justice is supposed
to release all of their files. This is also the
week that three I Atlas is going to fly closer
to Earth than at any other time. Do you remember
this was a little bit before my time, Not that
I was ever a soap opera guy, but the Luke
and Laura wedding on General Hospital was supposed to be
(03:21):
sort of groundbreaking for TV at some time.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
It was never a soap opera devote but my grandmother
was all general hospital and my mother was all days
of our lives.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
It turns out that Luke of Fuke and Laura has
passed away. Seventy eight year old Anthony Geary, eight time
Daytime Emmy winner, his husband, announced his death to TV
Insider over the weekend. He passed away on the fourteenth
because of complications from a scheduled operation earlier in the week.
(03:55):
They said that that marriage, that on screen loc and
Laura marriage which was watched by thirty one million people
when it aired.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Wow, what year did that air?
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Eighty one eighty one highest rated soap opera episode in
the history of American Television's.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Like a royal wedding? When did Princess Diana get married?
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Diet eighties eighty eight eighty nine.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
I don't remember eight, nineteen eighty one, So there, Wow,
that was our royal wedding.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Our version of it.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
California has joined a federal lawsuit against the Uber service.
California joined the FTC and other states in this lawsuit,
alleging that Uber uses deceptive practices. Specifically, they said that
the Uber one subscription program charges customers for its subscription
without their consent, doesn't deliver the promised savings, including free
(04:51):
delivery fees, and makes it difficult for users to cancel
their subscription. All that consumers also were supposedly subscribed without
their consent, and those who were subscribed still had to
pay those delivery fees even though they said that they wouldn't.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Those who tried to cancel faced an uphill battle.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Airbnb is activating its anti party technology to prevent big parties.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Essentially. They say this is the.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Five year anniversary of its global ban on disruptive parties.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Parties remain rare on the platform, they say, AHA. During
last year's New Year's Eve period, approximately three hundred people
in LA were deterred from booking an entire home listing
after being flagged by the company's screening system. They analyzed
hundreds of signals to identify bookings that may pose a
party high risk dates like New Year's Eve? What else?
(05:47):
I under?
Speaker 4 (05:48):
What else?
Speaker 3 (05:48):
What else? What else?
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Is the tip away the tip that you're going to
be having a party. Do you look at what else
they've ordered?
Speaker 3 (05:56):
What would you order if you were having a New
Year's party at a house in the Hollywood Hills besides
your Airbnb what.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Would I order it like to have what would you
order for your party? Hooker? Okay, no, no, I was
asking you.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
It reminds me check out ours, so that reminds me
our elves.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
We will have our elves.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Richie has crafted the video and we will post that
Gary and Shannon about us finding our elves. This is
an awful the poor and if you're wondering about Philip
Rivers and we'll get into more of this coming up next.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
It just broke. He will be starting Monday night against
the forty nine ers. Blessings that is going to be again.
Just just thank your lucky stars, Philip that Fred Warner
is out for the season and Nick Bosa still He's
(06:50):
going to get Robert Solis still there and all the
guys he got from the practice squad to play like veterans.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
How did that happen?
Speaker 3 (06:59):
I don't know. I don't know. The forty nine ers.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Of severely together, Sam.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Hatch together and Brock Purty looks like Patrick Mahomes out
there with his antics.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
We'll come back.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
We'll talk about our guest fantasy for play and some
of what went on in the world of football and
our motivational Monday is still to come. But we have
also got that story about these workers in their forties
going back to.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
School and what it is that they're studying.
Speaker 7 (07:28):
Also, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
I forgot about the fact that our hunting for elves
quest that I made it another full of myself.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Oh that was pretty spectacular. I don't even what are
you doing. You were waving a.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Waving guy, the one person who comes to work.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
Yes, so you're you were facing away.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
And I said, hi guy, and I walk right into it.
Speaker 6 (07:57):
Gus.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
If you like physical comedy, this is what.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
It did. I think it did.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
My wife loves physical comedy.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
I feel like I did it for her, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
Wait to see what her reaction is. The video will
be up by the time the show is done. We're
editing it up and then they'll be available. Okay, awesome
and pats everything. I love that.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
A couple updates on the stories that we have been
we've been talking a lot about. Today, Director actor Rob
Reiner and his wife Michelle found stabbed to death in
their home in Brentwood.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Their son has been arrested.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
The FBI detained and then released a what they said
was a person of interest in the shooting at Brown University.
As of right now, they don't have anybody, although there
are live images of the FBI search for evidence in
Rhode Island as they continue to try to find somebody.
Australian police say they expect to bring criminal charges against
(08:52):
the gunmen who's hospitalized after that shooting spring which fifteen
people were killed at Bondai Beach there in Australia. Weatherwise,
the West Coast, another huge Pineapple Express. It's going to
dip into California this time, but this starts in northern
California up along the coast, especially up through Oregon and Washington.
(09:12):
They're saying they could see a foot of rainfall in
some of those areas, more flooding, more landslides, more power.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Outages as a result of as a result of all
of that.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Well, you said it on Friday, it is going to
be a wild week in the NFL, and you are
absolutely correct. Another weekend of entertainment headlined by a forty
four year old Philip Rivers coming out of retirement. Been
on the couch for five years, but not really was
he coaching his son's high school team to a victory
(09:44):
all the while, but still not in the NFL. He
comes back and decides to helm the Indianapolis Colts fighting
for a wildcard spot.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
They are going to Seattle to face.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
One of the strongest defenses, the strongest fronts there in
the NFL. You know what, it wasn't a disaster through
for a touchdown, pass through for an interception there at
the end, had some awkward moments of stumbling and trying.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
To get up.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
But there was Philip Rivers all alone on that field,
the first one out there, going through the game plan,
visualizing it and just being the ultimate competitor, because that's
what Philip Rivers does.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
One hundred and twenty yards.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
He was eighteen for twenty seven, perfectly acceptable for what
for what he is, I mean, forty four year old guy. Yes,
like you said, the Disney story, at least this portion
of it didn't start out right because he didn't get
the win.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
But in the Disney movie, but you don't get the
win in the beginning.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
In the Disney movie, right, yeah, And even spoiler alert
Friday Night Lights, they didn't win the state championship.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Oh my gosh, So I met a guy at Joe's
Barbecue in Kansas City who manns the ribs and his
name's Landry, And I said to him, was your mom
a fan of Friday Night Lights? And he said she
went to that high school in West tax Axis that
they based it.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
On, uh, Midland Odessa. Yeah, Permian, I think it was
the name for it.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Yeah yeah, but anyway, not cool. Wow yeah those look
Oh my god, the ribs. I'll stop it. Like it's
a real ding down between the burnt ends and the ribs.
But I think the ribs take the top tier there
and then the burnt ends.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
My only problem with ribs is just the way people
eat them.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
You didn't have to make a mess of yourself what
it fell off the bone Like I was eating ribs
wearing white and it didn't get anywhere near my clothes
like that. It was just the meat was so I
can't I don't get me started talking about the ribs
right now. Okay, but anyway, Philip Rivers.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
So we all struggled to watch Philip Rivers right because
they're playing the the Rams game and the after it
was the afternoon game, right.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
So you can only get it on the red zone.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
No, no, so which I didn't realize this. CBS did. Oh,
they did the Colts Seahawks game, and Fox did the
the Raims.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
You got two afternoon games. Yeah that's rare, okay because.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
I was just one the Chargers. Obviously we're the only right.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
But sometimes they'll just play the one in the afternoon.
So anyway, that's awesome. But this will not be hard
to find because Rivers is going to start week sixteen
and it is on Monday night game in front of
the country. You guys, this is where the Disney movie
picks up steam, does it not. This will be a
national audience.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
It will be. It will be in Indianapolis, right I
think so?
Speaker 6 (12:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (12:28):
So my god.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
And now, remember, Philip Rivers is playing for a coach
that he's known for years. He ran the Colts offense
with his kids high school team. He talked to coach
Shane Stike and the head coach of the Colts every
week about this offense, how it was developing, things to
look out for. He knows this offense like the back
(12:51):
of his hand. They've got Jonathan Taylor, as you saw
if you watch that game, as the ultimate security blanket,
best running back in the league. This season just to
hand off that ball too. But this is going to
be albeit an injured forty nine Ers defense, a very
strong forty nine ers defense that he'll have to contend with.
But the last time he was in that stadium, I mean,
(13:13):
he won a playoff game with the Colts in twenty
twenty one in January. So it is a friendly crowd.
They are going to be rooting for him like everybody else.
There's been a few commentators that I saw and they
how are connected to Cam Newton, who is very upset
that he didn't.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Get the phone call, but that have said, oh, this
is a mistake, this is awful. He knows Philip Rivers
knows how to protect himself. Well, it's not an elder
abuse or whatever, it's not a malpractice.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
But everything else that you just laid out as well.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
He knows the entire system back then, he probably walked
in there knowing ninety percent of the playbook. I mean,
the idea that he was learning from, you know, from
the ground level, is not true.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
It's also great that Philip Rivers looks like every other
forty four year old guy out there. Like you're watching
Philip Rivers, You're like that is me. I mean, I'm not.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Saying I look down the bar and you're like, wait,
there's like six of you.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Exactly, It's like, oh, I can do it.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
I mean his postgame comments about yeah, there's doubt, there's
always going to be doubt, but you know, take a chance.
The safe thing to do is not take a chance,
and take a chance. There's a lot of good gems
in there.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
There is a reason why.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
However, you could play baseball until you're seventy and you
can't play football until you're fifty.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Like, that's there is clearly a reason for that.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Tonight, let's see, so the Rams lock up their playoff
spot with a win of the Lions forty one thirty forty.
Yesterday the Chargers knocked to the Chiefs out of the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
The Chiefs are out of the playoffs. Guys, Cowboys are
out of the playoffs. Things are looking good for America.
We will not have to watch the Chiefs, so the
Cowboys this postseason.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Tonight tonight, Dolphins and Steelers. We'll square out from Monday
Night football. The other thing that was notable yesterday was
the number of well, there were a few very high
profile players which probably suffered season ending injuries, Patrick Mahomes
being one of them. Like we said, the Chiefs, they
weren't going to be in the playoffs anyway, so it's
not like they're going to lose out on him for
(15:20):
the rest of the season. Micah Parsons with the Packers
went down, DeVante Adams with the Rams went down, and
then the unusual player being carted off the field. We
saw yesterday in the Cardinals game one of their wide
receivers was hit with an eck injury. I think it
was during a kick return, and they did the thing
where they unscrew his face mask from his helmet, strap
(15:43):
him down so he's immobilized onto the stretcher.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
They said, he's going to be okay.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Now the Steelers tonight, you're thinking Dolphin Steelers, Eh, Well,
the Steelers are fighting to stay atop the AFC North.
Steelers and Ravens there at the top of AFC North
both have seven wins a piece. So this is a
big one for the Steelers to get tonight and a
big one for the Dolphins to spoil their fun on
so that happens. Just look at what the Saints did
(16:07):
to the poor Panthers who were trying to fight for
their their their division lead. Poor pant poor panthers, just
because I picked them. How did we do, Buffalo Bill?
I went three and one? You would and you went
three and one, So.
Speaker 6 (16:23):
You both did pretty good? Pretty good?
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Cool?
Speaker 6 (16:26):
Yeah, not not a full like clean sweep, but we're
talking three to one. That's some good numbers.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
It's good. Did you go four and oh one week?
Speaker 6 (16:32):
I went four and o one week. I'm still chasing that.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
High we all do.
Speaker 6 (16:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
I don't think either one of us has gone four
and oh.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
No, you've gone four and at least once. Let me check.
I have this really convoluted.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Uh no, it's a beautiful mind in there, isn't it?
Speaker 4 (16:50):
Do you haven't? Do you need some more red yarn.
Speaker 6 (16:53):
Checks cross?
Speaker 3 (16:54):
I love it?
Speaker 8 (16:55):
All?
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Right? When we come back, what are we doing? Motivational Monday?
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Quick update on our stories and then we're going to
get into a motivational Monday and then of course a
lot of people going back to school in their forties.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
I think I should go do something.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
What do you have to learn? What do you mean?
Speaker 3 (17:09):
I think I should go back to school learn something?
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Okay, what do you want? What kind of I thought
about this a lot.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
My daughter will be your tutor if you want to
get into organic chemistry.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
No, are you kidding me?
Speaker 6 (17:19):
It's a great Why won't you.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Because I'm a dumb, dumb elmer. We got ai No
that you're not allowed. You're missing in allow.
Speaker 7 (17:30):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
So Richie came in here and he says, is it
He's like, I'm asking for a friend. But is it
worse come to worse or worst come to worse or
worst come to worst or you know.
Speaker 6 (17:53):
What is it?
Speaker 3 (17:54):
What is that saying?
Speaker 2 (17:54):
What are the words? What are the words worse and worst?
Or is it worst and worse?
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Or is it the same word worse to work, worse
comes to worse or worst comes to worst? And I said, Richie,
I think I've used a combination of those my whole life,
whenever I've said that worst comes to worst. Yeah, I
think you drop off the last letter worse comes to worse.
Speaker 6 (18:18):
I actually go worse comes to worse. But there's a
I feel like worst would be more.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Kind of makes more sense. Right, it's worse, but it's
not the worst. So if it's worse comes to worst.
That sounds like it would make the most sense. But
I mean, we're gonna get We're gonna be flooded. I
think with people who are like.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Oh my gosh, I can't believe you don't know this.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
How do you have a radio show? Why I should have?
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Don't we get those all the time?
Speaker 4 (18:44):
Well, yeah, but I usually don't play them.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
I know they're there. I know in my heart.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
It's okay, it's a motivational Monday. Anyway, it is a
motivational Monday, Richie. Thank you for that.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
I'll play the money in our football theme again, just because,
oh well, we'll see them on Monday before we get
to that, before we get to that. I wanted to
play this because I thought this was important. The guy
mentioned this while we were talking about football.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
Hi, guys, this is christ Aukstar.
Speaker 8 (19:06):
Just to call and tell you, guys real quick that
for the first time, I listened to the Chargers game
on KFI and not the TV. Well, actually, I think
the TV up turned down. The TV guys turned Shannon
and her crew up and it was so enjoyable. After
a while, I didn't even need the TV. I just
did chores and listen to the game. It was so
much fun. I'm gonna be doing it that way from
(19:27):
now on. So good job, guys, great show, Talk to
you later.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
I've been doing that.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
For years, and that's part of the problem. They don't
whoever's doing the games, it's not sync. Do you do
have to if you have a you know, a TV,
the digital whatever, doesn't matter. You can delay it and
play it and figure it out. The TV networks don't
often put their A team on Chargers games, and I
(19:54):
mean obviously depends on who they're playing and what the
record is and all that sort of thing. Well, how
many eyeballs they think they're going to get on it,
But they don't always have their A team on it,
and that's frustrating to hear.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
So I'd rather hear familiar voices.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
That's nice idea motivational Monday, we were talking about how
we're going to see Philip Rivers on Monday Night Football
next week when the Colts play the forty nine Ers
on Monday Night Football. Forty four year old guy back
in the league. After the Colts lost a couple of
quarterbacks and they needed somebody who's going to fit right
in and Philip Rivers fit that bill.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
Not only does he know the head coach, he knows
the offense.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
He knows how to get to Indiana although they play
in Seattle.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Philip Rivers loves football so much he's rolling his dice
with the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Some would argue, oh, what did you think about that?
Speaker 1 (20:38):
What happens when they vote for the Hall of Fame
is it's the sports writers right. They vote for the
Hall of Fame, and then the list dwindles, it gets winnowed.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
And he was a finalist this year for the Hall
of Fame. Now, you got to be out of the
league five years to be eligible. He's out of there
five years. He makes it to the finalist round. Philip
Rivers never won a Super Bowl. That's a lot of
people's bar for terms of quarterback getting into the Hall
of Fame. But what a record, a what a long,
storied career he had has. So it sets back the clock.
(21:09):
Him activated on the COLT sets about the clock.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
So now it's another five years after this experiment is over.
So now you're looking the earliest for Philip Rivers is
twenty Well, I mean it's not going to play another season.
You're looking at him rolling the dice again. Now in
twenty thirty one.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
Wow, he's born in Alabama.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
He goes and plays football for the North Carolina State Wolfpack.
He won ACC Player of the Year acc Athlete of
the Year in two thousand and three and four.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Is that where he's given the speech?
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Yeah, okay, yeah I found that out. But yes, he
was drafted fourth overall by Do you remember who he drafted,
Philip Rivers. Yeah, who drafted Philip Rivers wasn't the Chargers.
They traded this team traded in.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Well, they drafted Manning, right, and this was the year
that it was Rivers, Manning and Ben Roethlisberger. Right, they
came out at the same time.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Yeah, that sounds right, two thousand and four ish five ish.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Well, then you answered your own question.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
I don't remember the Giants. The Giants, I didn't remember that.
But then when they traded for right, right, Ali, he
said he would never play for San Diego.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
So Philip Rivers goes back to his alma mater at
NC State and is telling these guys, I mean and
you can if you've ever seen the video of this guy,
he is with the biggest smile on his face, talking
about his love of the game of football, yes, but
his love of the guys that are playing the game
(22:40):
of football with him.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
And you didn't have to bleep any of it, none
of it.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
You're all dad gummez.
Speaker 9 (22:45):
You play hard, you play tough, and you played a game.
And when I say played hard, it's everything. You do
hard all season, conditioned, you lift weights hard. If you're
gonna do eight reps or something, do it hard. You
gotta be tough. You got to be mentally and physically tough.
Look back ain't for soft. It ain't for soft people.
It ain't for mentally weak people. You gotta be tough. Lastly,
(23:09):
and my favorite thing about football, favorite thing has been
many years when it's my favorite thing played and dance.
And that's why I love seeing those guys last night.
It's together.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
You gotta love each other.
Speaker 9 (23:21):
The fourth quarter of my ends in the dirt as
an offensive guard, and I know my center needs me.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
To give him a little bit because he can't reach
that shade. He's struggling reaching that shady.
Speaker 9 (23:30):
Then I'm gonna give him.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
A little more because they want to help him.
Speaker 9 (23:34):
Because I love you and I want to win, but
because I love him and dad gummtt whoever's back there
playing quarterback, I'm not letting him get.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
Hit because I love him.
Speaker 9 (23:43):
If you're a free technique and you better eat up
the double team so the Mike linebacker can get that
ice so right in the mouth, right, dude, because you
love the guy back there, I want him to make
the tackle so bad that I'm not there.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
Letting this guy come off on me on adult team?
Speaker 9 (23:57):
Right?
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Can I play today, coach.
Speaker 5 (24:02):
Go?
Speaker 9 (24:02):
And it just gets me fired up. It gets me
fired up to be in here, to see be a
part of NC State.
Speaker 5 (24:09):
Wolf Pack and play college football.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
It really doesn't get any better. It does not get
me better.
Speaker 9 (24:13):
There's no other college football player in the country that
has it better than you do.
Speaker 6 (24:18):
Not one.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
There isn't one.
Speaker 9 (24:20):
There's not a place better. And I've seen I haven't
seen every place. I've seen enough of them, and I
walked into another day, and there's not a better place
than that, Tosh spring practice and the condition to go
get some extra work in on your own in the summer,
in the winter the best. It's the best place in
the world. And y'all get to at eighteen to twenty
two years old, y'all get to do it.
Speaker 6 (24:38):
It's awesome.
Speaker 9 (24:39):
I'm fired up to be in here.
Speaker 6 (24:40):
I wish I could suit up and play today.
Speaker 9 (24:42):
You can get after some of you guys on defense.
I'm where y'all.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
I love an ISO with a full back, just with
a linebacker clear in the path.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
And you could just hear it boozing out of.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
All he loves it.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
And that's what you want to hear as a fan.
You want players that love football and just bleed it.
And it's frustrating when you know, and I know there's
a number of people that get involved in football for
financial reasons or maybe they used to love the game
and they fall out of love. But it's rare to
find someone who loves the game that much for that long.
Speaker 6 (25:16):
You know.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
That's like harbass stuff there. I'm gonna play till I can't.
I'm gonna coach till I die.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
When we come back.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Headed back to school, Shannon's going to pick a major
when we come back.
Speaker 7 (25:27):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on Demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
This story about Rob and Michelle a Reiner and their
murder in their home over in Brentwood is going to
continue for days. I mean, there are questions about what
may have prompted their son to do this, what condition
he was in. We know that there may have been
an argument, a public, loud, public argument on Saturday night
before they died, and things like time of death. All
(25:57):
of that stuff is going to add to details to
this already just horrific story, tragic story, but we will
continue to watch that. Tomorrow we'll spend some more time
talking about not just the impact that Rob Reiner had
on American movies and television in the eighties and nineties
(26:17):
is undeniable. I mean, he and probably two or three
other directors had a stranglehold on just the powerhouse that
was Hollywood.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Layoffs, stagnant pay, and AI those are three reasons why
many in their forties are heading back to classrooms and
trade schools. Some are making radical career changes, going from
chef to software engineer. Some are getting higher degrees in
their field to stand out from peers as qualification standards intensify.
(26:54):
My mom got her masters when I want to say
she was.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Fifty too, did she? Yeah, that's funny. Some who skip
college after high school are going to go back to college.
Now what happens in your forties.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Well, a lot of people have a family, they've got work,
and then they've got school. So you've got to do that,
and you're also taking on that new debt of your education.
Cindy Woodie earned her master's at forty one, completed her
doctor at forty seven.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
She says, I'm a good investment.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
She teaches educational leadership.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
That sounds.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
It gave me a headache, that sounds. She said. Longevity
runs in her family.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Great grandma lived to almost be one hundred, so she
knew she was not going to retire when other people do, so,
she said. She quit full time while going back to school.
She quit watching TV. She handed off housework to other
family members so she could attend the in person classes
at night, and on Saturdays.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
She would block off. Check this out.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
She would block off between three am and six a m.
To write her papers.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Oh boy, oh, Cindy.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
More than a million people in their forties are enrolled
in undergraduate or graduate programs right now. And then there's
skilled trade apprenticeship programs. Those can cost as little as
three thousand dollars. Huge return on that.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
That's the thing. Yeah, that's the key.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
I know, even if you're forty fifty and you're looking
for a place to go back to do not go
back and get your art history degree.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Now do something where there's going to be a big return,
like trade and apprenticeship programs. One fourth of the students
enrolled in a Pennsylvania job training program or in their forties.
They're learning plumbing, carpentry, construction, healthcare. Always going to have
job security with those big four plumbing, carpentry, construction, healthcare.
AI is not going to come in and do all
(28:50):
those jobs. Yeah, or electrician, I mean electrician as well. Yes,
one student enrolled in a four year butcher apprenticeship.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Now we're talking learning to process meat products according to
the USDA standards.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
We may have stumbled upon some.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
That's what you want to get back into, potentially meat science.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
I'm not great at knives.
Speaker 4 (29:10):
What does that mean?
Speaker 3 (29:12):
I'm I need to have.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
A stronger discipline and fear of knives. I'm pretty willy
nilly with the knives.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
Cut your fingers a lot, No, I just have one
pretty bad one. I should have probably gotten stitches, but
I'm just not good with them. They've never been good
with I gotta I gotta pay extra attention. I'm using
knives because I'm pretty dumb, dumb when it comes to that.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
The other thing is that if you have a pretty
solid career that you're interested in or that you know
is going to be around for a while, you simply
have more certificates or degrees in that same thing, which
could potentially, you know, bump you up the ladder if
whatever whatever your profession happens.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
I thought it'd be.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Fun to get a law degree and you get to
assertions and you're like, ah, this is mind numbing.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
That's a lot of mind numbing stuff in the school.
In the schools, what would you do?
Speaker 4 (30:02):
I think a trade school would have been would be my.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
I think you'd be great at that. That'd be cool,
that'd be fun.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
To watch, it would be.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
I wouldn't say it would be easy, but it's something
that I'm interested in any way.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
I mean, I've seen a Bennett how.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
And you built that fence, man.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
I've seen the benefit of being able to work with
your hands, and I know the feeling that it gives me.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
You'll get something you'l proud of yourself.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
A friend of mine saw the fence last night and
he said, where's your sign? I said, what were you
talking about? He said, If I built that, I'd put
a sign out in front of that. I would tell
I'm back here, check out.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
With tell everyone that would listen. That fence would be
the screensaver on my phone. I'd tell checkers at the
grocery store.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
Right, it's not that much.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
It's like when you save that baby. You never talk
about all of your wins, and they're huge. That fence,
the baby that you broke that window of the car
to save. That's two things I would tell everybody about
that every day of my life.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
If I did those two.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Things, they all put a sign up of just a baby,
and they'll go, is that a baby on your fence?
And I say, funny, should mention both of those things
in the same sentence, because yeah, I'd separate them.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
You would keep the baby away from the fence.
Speaker 4 (31:07):
Why.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
I don't know, two different, two different demos too. I
think the baby things for the women and the fencing
for the dudes.
Speaker 4 (31:15):
Right, you don't think dudes would be impressed by saving a.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
Baby, not as much as a baby jubtless that they.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
Didn't get to save the baby. And I did.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
I think you're hitting on something that interesting.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Okay, all right, but the fence thing, they'd be like,
Oh I could do that, I could totally do that.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Yeah, they would see inspiration in your story. John Cobalt
coming up. How many babies do you think, John, how
many babies have you saved?
Speaker 8 (31:40):
None?
Speaker 1 (31:40):
We've got a big zero. All right, Well that's what
you can expect.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
A guy who doesn't save babies is coming up next.
Speaker 4 (31:49):
Guy who didn't build his own fence.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
If you want to hear about saving babies, you will
turn into our show tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
At starting at nine am. All right, we'll see you tomorrow.
