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):
But very rainy Christmas Eve. I mentioned the power outages
that we saw. That number has gone up slightly. It's
up to one hundred and thirty seven thousand people in
the state without without power right now?
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Did you stop by the feeding train? Okay, so I stopped.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
How did you know I got spies everywhere, sod or those.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Guys can see you through the door.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
They can, so would you see I still take the
plastic off the cookie train.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
I didn't do that, but I thought about it. That's
why I north.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
But I thought about it. That's what took so long.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Because I was staring at the cookie train and there's
wax paper over it, and I thought, hmm. And then
I thought, is there a way I can get in
without anyone knowing?
Speaker 4 (00:47):
I'll share some of mine with you.
Speaker 5 (00:48):
I have.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
I have my own, but those are like on the
table with the other treats. But Heather's cinnamon rolls over there,
and they are small. So then I did cut relations.
In my head, I was like, those are small, like
I could you know, I can have both, they can
have all, I can have everything.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
And then they're.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Also cookies that will brought in from Costco which are
really freaking good.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
And then there's other and then there's some Amy.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
King cookies floating around there, and there's just a lot
of options, and I was kind of in a daze
looking at all the different options. Sorry, Rachel, you don't
need any skinny porn. He just brought me celebrities.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
And influencers look emaciation.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Yeah, it's like, don't do it. Don't break through the
plastic wrap. Control yourself, Shannon, it's not in.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Like a little bit of body shaving. Keep that clapical
visual visible, right, got it? Okay, Oh my god, that's
uh inspiration.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
We've been asking people what they're doing here on Christmas.
Speaker 6 (01:54):
Eve Gary and Shannon and Heather Ponzi and Sprinkles, Patricians,
San Pedro, Merry Christmas and loving your show today, reading
the Book of Palms because I learned what imprecatory emparrasment,
and looking forward to your Christmas Carol. And for anyone
that has us to talk about it, well they can
just go find someone else.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
To listen to. You guys, are awesome. Have a very
amazing Christmas and Happy New Year. Love you, bye, thank you.
We'll be back next week. You can keep the happy
New Year's too. Yeah for now, I mean just for now.
Speaker 7 (02:24):
Hi, guys, this is Terry and Linda and Apple Valley.
We will just be staying home spending the Christmas Eve together.
We're going to make us a nice fire, probably you
have us a couple of beers, and we'll cooking some
pork and green chili. Could be better than that.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Hell yeah, I love the show.
Speaker 8 (02:42):
Guys.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas to you. That sounds like a
nice day.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
I mentioned yesterday I had the chicken soup that we
had last night for dinner. The positive about a day
like today, where it's raining outside you don't want to
spend time out side is the house smells so good,
so good.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
My husband like that too. It's the cooking, the baking,
the way that any smell whatever.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Is cooking, as long as it's cooking, it's nice, smells
so good.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Yeah, it is nice.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
It feels like home. I don't even know what we're
going to, well I do, there is something. Got a lot, We've.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Got a lot to get to I don't want to
get into the dead girl stuff.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
We'll just say it's a continuation of what we said yesterday,
which is that the Melody's body was found or mom
was arrest I mean, there's time, there will be plenty
of We'll get into that next with details.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
We do have fun. You know, I heard something on
the radio last night. You know, for the first time
in my twenty years here, I turned on KFI last
night and I didn't know what show was on.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
I didn't know who it was. I didn't know who
these people were.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
And it's funny because when we're gone sometimes we'll play
the iHeart programming or whatever people have told us.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
We'll get messages, who the hell are these people?
Speaker 1 (04:02):
It's jarring when you turn on KFI and you don't
know who someone is, like, it's really jarring if you've
listened to the station like I have for twenty years
since I started working here, and when you turn it
on at any point of the day and you're like,
who the hell are these people, It's.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Like finding strangers in your house. It really is. That's
how I felt. And I didn't know who these people
were last night.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
You were you afraid they're messing with your stuff in here,
get out that studio.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
I don't know, I don't know, but they were lovely,
like I enjoyed it. They were doing a story about
it was a male and a female and they were
doing a story about things that the kids are saying,
you know, six seven and all that kind of stuff.
And they said that there's there was a couple in
there that I had not heard before. One of them
I don't remember because it's for the youth, but one
(04:50):
of them was that like kids are saying Ohio for
like stuff that kind of sucks, Like, oh, that's so Ohio.
And I thought that is so awful. That's me because
we've spent a lot of time in Cleveland. I've spent
at least two weeks plus of my life in Ohio
and Cleveland in particular, and I enjoy Cleveland.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
I think Cleveland gets a bad rap.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
I've gone to Canton, beautiful Hall of Fame they've got there.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
I love the architecture Cleveland.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
It is the history, the statues, all of it, downtown loalckability.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Yeah, it's a great time.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
So I thought that was kind of not cool, and
I had never heard of that yet, that the kids
are saying, Ohio is something that's just kind of.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
You?
Speaker 3 (05:36):
But what was that show I heard last night?
Speaker 9 (05:38):
Like?
Speaker 3 (05:38):
What was that? I don't know, go check the logs.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Have you ever done that? Have you ever tuned into
KFI and heard something and you were like, what what
is this?
Speaker 3 (05:47):
No, it's jarring. I've never done Jarring and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Well, in about an hour, we will be presenting the
gas version of a Christmas Carol. This will be a
radio play and it will be acted by all of
your favorite K five people, not all of them, and
it'll be live, not all of them, not all of them,
a lot, it's many many. Is there anybody that we
(06:23):
it would be the favorite that isn't here? Right?
Speaker 3 (06:27):
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
I mean now I feel bad if we're like leaving
somebody out. I meant like, like, you know, like Conway
is not going to be in it, Like he's busy,
not here, he's busy. Yeah, everyone who's here, who's your
favorite is going to be here. John's not here today,
so he's not going to be in it.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
I do which I John has ever been involved has
I bet he would, though, Oh, I actually think he
might be a little bit sad.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
That he hasn't been asked. I'm sure he would, Deborah.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Don't you think John would love to be in our
Christmas production?
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (07:02):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
I think so too. We could write a role for
him next year. Don't you love how I get you
into these things?
Speaker 3 (07:08):
We could write a role for him next year. That's
a great idea. Let's us do that.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
We could write a role for him where he's like
the king of the like vegetable fairy land. Go ahead,
like like the sugarplum fairy land, except it's like vegetable
fairy land, where like there's a vegetable fairy and he
only grows like celery and Brussels sprouts and spinach, and
he's the and he's the king of the land and
(07:34):
it's one of the places that the Elf has to
go through to get here. Maybe we should do ELF
next year basically Elf? Yeah, with John.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
I actually thought about doing a die Hard.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
That sounds violent, Gary, Yeah, yeah, it's have you seen
die Hard?
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Yeah? Okay, I mean I know it's violent, but still,

because she said that I don't like her talkbags. Yeah,
well do you?
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (08:52):

Speaker 2 (12:38):
Same thing they tell us. This is in office. This
is really a therapy room. I mean legitimately each room
is padded. Yeah, so what does that tell you?
Speaker 3 (12:51):
It's safer that way.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
We're talking to ourselves.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
Oh boy, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand
from KFI A forty.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
I mean, we have a lot of people that are
excited for this Christmas play that we Gary writes and
he does a bang up job. Not only is he
a wonderful actor, he is a wonderful screen writer. He
has adapted a Christmas Carol to fit our show personalities,
the KFI stars that are coming out to be actors
(13:23):
in this play. It is going to be a great time.
It starts at eleven thirty. You're not going to want
to miss it. Already, we have school children listening to this,
we have senior centers listening to this.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
And everybody in between.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
My mother will be listening to this. Yeah, she'll be
listening to this.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Funny you sh.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Didn't text you, but we have just added to our production.
It is a pre kind of wedding of the whistle.
Shall we say? At eleven twenty you're not going to
want to miss. I have been informed that we have
like trained singers what our cast, and since there aren't
(14:02):
a lot of musical moments in the script, we are
going to have them regale us with a Christmas Carol
or Carol's right before we.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Get going here.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
So at about eleven twenty, we have three very talented
singers in this production that are going to get the
crowd kind of warmed up with a beautiful Christmas spirit. Medley,
get to get Rudolph right up in that sky.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Get him.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
It's like a protein bar for Rudolph is what it
is the Christmas bar Well, it gives them fuel.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
I thought that was just the Christmas spirit. It gives
in the fuel.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
That's what I'm saying. It's an analogy.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
The Christmas is the protein. Come on okay by Gary Shannon.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
Just because it's that time of the year, I think
we need some Trumpet of Jesus.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
I listened to the Trumpet of Jesus. I love this guy.
He is great. Let's do it. It's in the show.
It's in the show.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
But for people who don't know the story, here's the
story about the Trumpet of Jesus. It's it's a good one.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Is what are they called again? Sorry? The band the
Imperial Imperials. The Imperials have been around a long time.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
There's been members coming and going. It's like I was
gonna say, it's like Menudo, but I stopped myself.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
I don't want to get into all that.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
But yeah, it's like Menudo and h Gary was driving
home one night his mom was really sick and he's driving.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Well, it's your story, you tell this.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
So I'm driving home and I'm coming down the I'm
coming down the one oh one from the Central Coast
and there's a point once you pass, Uh what is it?
I guess it's Vandenberg and the and the highway goes
right along the coast there. There's not a radio signal
to be found except one Christian music station.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
And this song comes on the radio.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Knowing what this song, and he's so tired and exhausted,
and I think, I think I'm hallucinating. Yeah, he's depleted
emotionally and mentally and all of it. And this comes
on and how can you not start chuckling when you're
in that point in your life, in your headspace of
just like.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
So I came home, I got home I should say
an hour and a half later or whatever it was.
I remember saying to my wife, have you heard have
you ever heard this song before? And I play it
and she thinks the same thing, like, this is not
a real song, this is a And then I reached
out to a couple other friends of mine who grew
(16:37):
up in church and right, oh, yeah, I remember this.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
We used to play this all the time every Sunday.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
I work with Daniel Jeremiah, whose father right has has.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Been in the past, been in the game for quite
a long time. He said, yeah, my mom loved this song,
loved the Imperials. So we started kind of making it
a part.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Of the show because it just feels good. It feels
good hear the Trumpets of Jesus.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
It's upbeat.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
We enjoy it. Last year we had this singer on
our show and we did a phone interview with this
guy and he was great. He was great, and I say,
which is now station lore? So there were some dark
times in your life that this grew out of something
(17:21):
of that nature, some sort of question, And this dude
went on like a seven minute uninterrupted like AA meeting.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
He bared his soul of his problem.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
I mean, went through the whole story, the darkest times,
the fact that he realized he can't do that anymore,
how he has grown out of it, what his life
is like now. And it was like wow, it was
so illuminating.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Which when you when.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
You hear the song now, yeah, you think about that
interview and you think about what that guy's been through and.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
The whole story.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Yeah, And I remember after my dad died, thinking, you
know what I need.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
I need Trumpets of Jesus. It's like I put it
on my Spotify, you know, and I'm listening to that.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
I'm like, okay, because you know what's funny is if
you put it on a if you put on a
playlist or something like that and you shuffle, you know,
just ran it when it comes. Yeah, it's it totally.
It's different than if you were to go search it out.
You come off of like a I don't know, Norah
Jones whatever thing to a few people, and then that
thing starts.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Up when it appears out of nowhere, It's like, oh,
I get it, I get why Trumpets of Jesus just played.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
I do have of Jesus.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
I do have a quick note because there is still
some weather out there. We did receive a tornado warning. Okay,
there is a tornado warning that's been issued for parts
of eastern LA County, Altadena, Pasadena, Alhambra, Monterey Park, East LA,
and a few other areas. But that kind of is
what they're looking at. It's only in effect for a
couple more minutes, but there is a tour tornado warning
(19:01):
means that it has either been reported by spotters or
indicated by radar. Now that may not necessarily mean that
this tornado touches down, but radar has detected what they
think may have been a tornado in that area. So
the tornado warning is going to expire here in just
a couple of minutes, but it has been issued, so
there is still some serious weather going on us.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
We will stay on top of it as we bring
you a special Christmas Eve show. We are Live, we
are human, and it's just going to get better. This
is just going to get better. The show is going
to get better, So stay with us.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Don't go anywhere. Thinking of the cookies already, aren't you Well.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
I'm just wondering when we start eating them.
Speaker 5 (19:40):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Big Story Today is going to continue to be the
rain on this Christmas Eve. It is expected to get
a little heavier as we go through the go through
the afternoon into tonight, and then tomorrow another round is
expected to come through. If you're headed out to Disneyland
or California Adventure today, they're going to close an hour early.
Good luck out there. Also not some very farm six
(20:10):
flags at Magic Mountain there are closed today, so if
you had tickets for those, you can go any day
through December thirty first. As of right now, the majority
of problems have been flooding. It appears a few trees
have gone down. There are places with some power outages
in the state where at one hundred and eighteen thousand
(20:31):
people without power, most of those right here now. In
La County, just about twenty four thousand people have had
their power knocked out as of this morning, but they
are making progress. Up in northern California, the rain has
been a little bit lighter, so they've been able to
make progress up there.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
So I asked my brother, because I'm going to go
up tomorrow to his house in fulsome and I said
to him, yesterday and let me pull up the text
message here. I said, how's the weather going to be
up there? And he wrote, I think the weather man
said this morning ft but spelled out the whole word.
I said, that's what they said, huh. I said, okay,
(21:09):
thank you, and he wrote, I just checked again. Looks
like a quality storm. It'll feel like it's in the
low forties, two inches or more of rain. Bring a
coat and a slicker.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
He went from brother to dad real quick. Hey, God
from the South Bay.
Speaker 11 (21:24):
I've been delivering since seven Amy Ray, and I would
be going to I can't delivery anymore.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Goodness, Santa's going to beat Moly Sandy today.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Yeah, speedy delivery, go get it all right, someone's got
to be out there delivering.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
I love it. I mean, I.
Speaker 2 (21:39):

out there and they had pool and it was free.
It's been pretty rare that you go into a bar
and it's free. I mean it's now so often. You know,
it's operated. You know, you get the balls at the
bar or whatever, and they paid by the coin stuff,
although fewer and far between now because has coins, let

The things that the jokes we were making about the
things that had happened on that table.

Yeah, it was pretty awful. It's pretty yeah, I remember
that just being a disgusting place.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Do you have a That's what's so great about those
pool tables and bars is they come with their own handicaps.
It's play baseball stadiums, right, everyone is different. You kind
of got to figure out a strategy how.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
To play each one.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
There's a bump and the queues are all crooked, and
you gotta figure out which was least crooked.
Speaker 3 (23:51):

a ham. He said, your mother wants a ham, and
I said.

But very rainy Christmas Eve. I mentioned the power outages
that we saw. That number has gone up slightly. It's
up to one hundred and thirty seven thousand people in
the state without without power right now?
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Did you stop by the feeding train? Okay, so I stopped.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
How did you know I got spies everywhere, sod or those.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Guys can see you through the door.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
They can, so would you see I still take the
plastic off the cookie train.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
I didn't do that, but I thought about it. That's
why I north.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
But I thought about it. That's what took so long.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Because I was staring at the cookie train and there's
wax paper over it, and I thought, hmm. And then
I thought, is there a way I can get in
without anyone knowing?
Speaker 4 (00:47):
I'll share some of mine with you.
Speaker 5 (00:48):
I have.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
I have my own, but those are like on the
table with the other treats. But Heather's cinnamon rolls over there,
and they are small. So then I did cut relations.
In my head, I was like, those are small, like
I could you know, I can have both, they can
have all, I can have everything.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
And then they're.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Also cookies that will brought in from Costco which are
really freaking good.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
And then there's other and then there's some Amy.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
King cookies floating around there, and there's just a lot
of options, and I was kind of in a daze
looking at all the different options. Sorry, Rachel, you don't
need any skinny porn. He just brought me celebrities.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
And influencers look emaciation.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Yeah, it's like, don't do it. Don't break through the
plastic wrap. Control yourself, Shannon, it's not in.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Like a little bit of body shaving. Keep that clapical
visual visible, right, got it? Okay, Oh my god, that's
uh inspiration.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
We've been asking people what they're doing here on Christmas.
Speaker 6 (01:54):
Eve Gary and Shannon and Heather Ponzi and Sprinkles, Patricians,
San Pedro, Merry Christmas and loving your show today, reading
the Book of Palms because I learned what imprecatory emparrasment,
and looking forward to your Christmas Carol. And for anyone

amazing Christmas and Happy New Year. Love you, bye, thank you.
We'll be back next week. You can keep the happy
New Year's too. Yeah for now, I mean just for now.
Speaker 7 (02:24):
Hi, guys, this is Terry and Linda and Apple Valley.
We will just be staying home spending the Christmas Eve together.
We're going to make us a nice fire, probably you
have us a couple of beers, and we'll cooking some
pork and green chili. Could be better than that.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Hell yeah, I love the show.
Speaker 8 (02:42):
Guys.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas to you. That sounds like a
nice day.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
I mentioned yesterday I had the chicken soup that we
had last night for dinner. The positive about a day
like today, where it's raining outside you don't want to
spend time out side is the house smells so good,
so good.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
My husband like that too. It's the cooking, the baking,
the way that any smell whatever.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Is cooking, as long as it's cooking, it's nice, smells
so good.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Yeah, it is nice.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
It feels like home. I don't even know what we're
going to, well I do, there is something. Got a lot, We've.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Got a lot to get to I don't want to
get into the dead girl stuff.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
We'll just say it's a continuation of what we said yesterday,
which is that the Melody's body was found or mom
was arrest I mean, there's time, there will be plenty
of We'll get into that next with details.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
We do have fun. You know, I heard something on
the radio last night. You know, for the first time
in my twenty years here, I turned on KFI last
night and I didn't know what show was on.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
I didn't know who it was. I didn't know who
these people were.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
And it's funny because when we're gone sometimes we'll play
the iHeart programming or whatever people have told us.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
We'll get messages, who the hell are these people?
Speaker 1 (04:02):
It's jarring when you turn on KFI and you don't
know who someone is, like, it's really jarring if you've
listened to the station like I have for twenty years
since I started working here, and when you turn it
on at any point of the day and you're like,
who the hell are these people, It's.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Like finding strangers in your house. It really is. That's
how I felt. And I didn't know who these people
were last night.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
You were you afraid they're messing with your stuff in here,
get out that studio.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
I don't know, I don't know, but they were lovely,
like I enjoyed it. They were doing a story about
it was a male and a female and they were
doing a story about things that the kids are saying,
you know, six seven and all that kind of stuff.
And they said that there's there was a couple in
there that I had not heard before. One of them
I don't remember because it's for the youth, but one
(04:50):
of them was that like kids are saying Ohio for
like stuff that kind of sucks, Like, oh, that's so Ohio.
And I thought that is so awful. That's me because
we've spent a lot of time in Cleveland. I've spent
at least two weeks plus of my life in Ohio
and Cleveland in particular, and I enjoy Cleveland.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
I think Cleveland gets a bad rap.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
I've gone to Canton, beautiful Hall of Fame they've got there.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
I love the architecture Cleveland.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
It is the history, the statues, all of it, downtown loalckability.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Yeah, it's a great time.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
So I thought that was kind of not cool, and
I had never heard of that yet, that the kids
are saying, Ohio is something that's just kind of.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
You?
Speaker 3 (05:36):
But what was that show I heard last night?
Speaker 9 (05:38):
Like?
Speaker 3 (05:38):
What was that? I don't know, go check the logs.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Have you ever done that? Have you ever tuned into
KFI and heard something and you were like, what what
is this?
Speaker 3 (05:47):
No, it's jarring. I've never done Jarring and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Well, in about an hour, we will be presenting the
gas version of a Christmas Carol. This will be a
radio play and it will be acted by all of
your favorite K five people, not all of them, and
it'll be live, not all of them, not all of them,
a lot, it's many many. Is there anybody that we
(06:23):
it would be the favorite that isn't here? Right?
Speaker 3 (06:27):
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
I mean now I feel bad if we're like leaving
somebody out. I meant like, like, you know, like Conway
is not going to be in it, Like he's busy,
not here, he's busy. Yeah, everyone who's here, who's your
favorite is going to be here. John's not here today,
so he's not going to be in it.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
I do which I John has ever been involved has
I bet he would, though, Oh, I actually think he
might be a little bit sad.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
That he hasn't been asked. I'm sure he would, Deborah.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Don't you think John would love to be in our
Christmas production?
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (07:02):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
I think so too. We could write a role for
him next year. Don't you love how I get you
into these things?
Speaker 3 (07:08):
We could write a role for him next year. That's
a great idea. Let's us do that.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
We could write a role for him where he's like
the king of the like vegetable fairy land. Go ahead,
like like the sugarplum fairy land, except it's like vegetable
fairy land, where like there's a vegetable fairy and he
only grows like celery and Brussels sprouts and spinach, and
he's the and he's the king of the land and
(07:34):
it's one of the places that the Elf has to
go through to get here. Maybe we should do ELF
next year basically Elf? Yeah, with John.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
I actually thought about doing a die Hard.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
That sounds violent, Gary, Yeah, yeah, it's have you seen
die Hard?
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Yeah? Okay, I mean I know it's violent, but still,
how are you going to say? MF R in the
script Monday fri how are.

because she said that I don't like her talkbags. Yeah,
well do you?
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Well, I mean if anybody doesn't like you, it's Gary

Wait a minute, hey, you throwing me under the bus. Yes,
I'd rather you be under the bus than Richie. What
has he ever done wrong? That a good question?

Speaker 3 (12:51):
It's safer that way.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
We're talking to ourselves.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
Oh boy, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand
from KFI A forty.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
I mean, we have a lot of people that are
excited for this Christmas play that we Gary writes and
he does a bang up job. Not only is he
a wonderful actor, he is a wonderful screen writer. He
has adapted a Christmas Carol to fit our show personalities,
the KFI stars that are coming out to be actors
(13:23):
in this play. It is going to be a great time.
It starts at eleven thirty. You're not going to want

My mother will be listening to this. Yeah, she'll be
listening to this.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Funny you sh.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Didn't text you, but we have just added to our production.
It is a pre kind of wedding of the whistle.
Shall we say? At eleven twenty you're not going to
want to miss. I have been informed that we have
like trained singers what our cast, and since there aren't
(14:02):
a lot of musical moments in the script, we are
going to have them regale us with a Christmas Carol
or Carol's right before we.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Get going here.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
So at about eleven twenty, we have three very talented
singers in this production that are going to get the
crowd kind of warmed up with a beautiful Christmas spirit. Medley,
get to get Rudolph right up in that sky.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Get him.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
It's like a protein bar for Rudolph is what it
is the Christmas bar Well, it gives them fuel.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
I thought that was just the Christmas spirit. It gives
in the fuel.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
That's what I'm saying. It's an analogy.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
The Christmas is the protein. Come on okay by Gary Shannon.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
Just because it's that time of the year, I think
we need some Trumpet of Jesus.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
I listened to the Trumpet of Jesus. I love this guy.
He is great. Let's do it. It's in the show.
It's in the show.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
But for people who don't know the story, here's the
story about the Trumpet of Jesus. It's it's a good one.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Is what are they called again? Sorry? The band the
Imperial Imperials. The Imperials have been around a long time.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
There's been members coming and going. It's like I was
gonna say, it's like Menudo, but I stopped myself.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
I don't want to get into all that.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
But yeah, it's like Menudo and h Gary was driving
home one night his mom was really sick and he's driving.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Well, it's your story, you tell this.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
So I'm driving home and I'm coming down the I'm
coming down the one oh one from the Central Coast
and there's a point once you pass, Uh what is it?
I guess it's Vandenberg and the and the highway goes
right along the coast there. There's not a radio signal
to be found except one Christian music station.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
And this song comes on the radio.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Knowing what this song, and he's so tired and exhausted,
and I think, I think I'm hallucinating. Yeah, he's depleted
emotionally and mentally and all of it. And this comes
on and how can you not start chuckling when you're
in that point in your life, in your headspace of
just like.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
So I came home, I got home I should say
an hour and a half later or whatever it was.
I remember saying to my wife, have you heard have
you ever heard this song before? And I play it
and she thinks the same thing, like, this is not
a real song, this is a And then I reached
out to a couple other friends of mine who grew
(16:37):
up in church and right, oh, yeah, I remember this.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
We used to play this all the time every Sunday.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
I work with Daniel Jeremiah, whose father right has has.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Been in the past, been in the game for quite
a long time. He said, yeah, my mom loved this song,
loved the Imperials. So we started kind of making it
a part.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Of the show because it just feels good. It feels
good hear the Trumpets of Jesus.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
It's upbeat.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
We enjoy it. Last year we had this singer on
our show and we did a phone interview with this
guy and he was great. He was great, and I say,
which is now station lore? So there were some dark
times in your life that this grew out of something
(17:21):
of that nature, some sort of question, And this dude
went on like a seven minute uninterrupted like AA meeting.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
He bared his soul of his problem.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
I mean, went through the whole story, the darkest times,
the fact that he realized he can't do that anymore,
how he has grown out of it, what his life
is like now. And it was like wow, it was
so illuminating.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Which when you when.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
You hear the song now, yeah, you think about that
interview and you think about what that guy's been through and.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
The whole story.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Yeah, And I remember after my dad died, thinking, you
know what I need.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
I need Trumpets of Jesus. It's like I put it
on my Spotify, you know, and I'm listening to that.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
I'm like, okay, because you know what's funny is if
you put it on a if you put on a
playlist or something like that and you shuffle, you know,
just ran it when it comes. Yeah, it's it totally.
It's different than if you were to go search it out.
You come off of like a I don't know, Norah
Jones whatever thing to a few people, and then that
thing starts.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Up when it appears out of nowhere, It's like, oh,
I get it, I get why Trumpets of Jesus just played.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
I do have of Jesus.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
I do have a quick note because there is still
some weather out there. We did receive a tornado warning. Okay,
there is a tornado warning that's been issued for parts
of eastern LA County, Altadena, Pasadena, Alhambra, Monterey Park, East LA,
and a few other areas. But that kind of is
what they're looking at. It's only in effect for a
couple more minutes, but there is a tour tornado warning
(19:01):
means that it has either been reported by spotters or
indicated by radar. Now that may not necessarily mean that
this tornado touches down, but radar has detected what they
think may have been a tornado in that area. So
the tornado warning is going to expire here in just
a couple of minutes, but it has been issued, so
there is still some serious weather going on us.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
We will stay on top of it as we bring
you a special Christmas Eve show. We are Live, we
are human, and it's just going to get better. This
is just going to get better. The show is going
to get better, So stay with us.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Don't go anywhere. Thinking of the cookies already, aren't you Well.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
I'm just wondering when we start eating them.
Speaker 5 (19:40):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Big Story Today is going to continue to be the
rain on this Christmas Eve. It is expected to get
a little heavier as we go through the go through
the afternoon into tonight, and then tomorrow another round is
expected to come through. If you're headed out to Disneyland
or California Adventure today, they're going to close an hour early.
Good luck out there. Also not some very farm six
(20:10):
flags at Magic Mountain there are closed today, so if
you had tickets for those, you can go any day
through December thirty first. As of right now, the majority
of problems have been flooding. It appears a few trees
have gone down. There are places with some power outages
in the state where at one hundred and eighteen thousand
(20:31):
people without power, most of those right here now. In
La County, just about twenty four thousand people have had
their power knocked out as of this morning, but they
are making progress. Up in northern California, the rain has
been a little bit lighter, so they've been able to
make progress up there.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
So I asked my brother, because I'm going to go
up tomorrow to his house in fulsome and I said
to him, yesterday and let me pull up the text
message here. I said, how's the weather going to be
up there? And he wrote, I think the weather man
said this morning ft but spelled out the whole word.
I said, that's what they said, huh. I said, okay,
(21:09):
thank you, and he wrote, I just checked again. Looks
like a quality storm. It'll feel like it's in the
low forties, two inches or more of rain. Bring a
coat and a slicker.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
He went from brother to dad real quick. Hey, God
from the South Bay.

I have a lot of respect for people who do
the work. Yeah, the work, whatever that work is. I
have a lot of respect for people that do the work.
They don't complain about.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
It well, and you can hear in his voice he
knows he's important that he's delivering things on Christmas Eve.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
It's a make or break deliveries here.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Sometimes it's I laugh at and I'm not I'm not
saying I'm not guilty of this. I laugh at the
emails that came in last night after six pm, like hey,
last minute ideas forgives, And I'm like, listen, if you yeah,
if you're still doing this, this is and again I've
done it plenty of times to now I can. I
(22:20):

get it.

out there and they had pool and it was free.

and it's free. I mean it's now so often. You know,
it's operated. You know, you get the balls at the
bar or whatever, and they paid by the coin stuff,
although fewer and far between now because has coins, let

We went to a place in Chicago that had that
had the pool table with a buck or whatever it
is that you played, and it was the worst pool table.
The things that the jokes we were making about the
things that had happened on that table.

that just being a disgusting place.

Do you have a That's what's so great about those
pool tables and bars is they come with their own handicaps.
