Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand on.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
The iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
You have made it to the first massive twelve o'clock
hour of December twenty twenty five. If you've missed any
part of this joyous reunification show, make sure to check
it out on the podcast. Subscribe to the podcast at
Gary and Shannon wherever.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Notification reunification.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
When Berlin was when the Cold War ended and they
tore the wall down, reunification I.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Just meant that we're back together again, reunified as a
team on the show. Oh, I don't think reunification is
just for the fall of the Berlin Wall. I don't
think it cornered the market on that. But thanks for
bringing up your generation, Paw.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
You were alive then as well.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Well.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
I wasn't paying attention. It was it like eighty When
did you start paying attention? I haven't, I don't. What
are we doing here? What else is going on?
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Time for what's happening?
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Cyber Monday caps the most to post Thanksgiving shopping marathon
in the US.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Have you done anything at work today or have you shopped?
Speaker 1 (01:19):
I feel like Cyber Monday started, you know, a month ago.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Yeah, considering you can get Black Friday deals the week
before Black Friday, and then Cyber Monday deals starting on
Black Friday, and then the last through this week. It's
all And unless you're very closely following what the prices
are for whatever you want, a fifty five inch television
or something like that.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
How do you know they're screwing you out of it. Yeah,
they're totally screwing it. They're not giving you a sales
not a discount, sir, You're falling for it.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
That's exactly right.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
And also, name one Monday where you have an Internet
shopped at work. In the past ten years, everybody has
bought something online at work on a Monday. I'm sure
on just every Monday. Yeah, because Monday you're back to work.
You don't want to be. You're looking for things to
procrastinate with at your job. I love my job. In fact,
(02:13):
you noted after that Richard Dreyfus interview nine years ago,
the last thing I said was I love my job.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
It was I loved my job.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
After someone came on the air with us and crapped
all over us, I still loved my job.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Laughed out loud while I was listening to that. I
still loved my job.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
You were so bright and bushy tail I was, and
the full vim and vigor.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
I still love it.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Adobe Analytics estimates that US shoppers will spend more than
fourteen billion dollars online today. That's six point three percent
more than last year. I remember twenty sorry, twenty plus
years ago. I don't know why I turned into a
fart sound twenty plus years common friend Brett Burkhart, great
(02:57):
reporter and anchor out of northern California, doing a story
about online shopping.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
And it was mind blowing.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
What was going on in what would that have been
ninety six, ninety seven something like that? Wow, And how
people were gonna you can send a company or credit
card information on the internet.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
And now we're talking.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
About fourteen billion dollars worth of money spent online compared
to twelve billion dollars on Black Friday.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
So I'm wondering, and this has got to be out
there somewhere. I haven't clicked on anything in two weeks.
But AI's role in Christmas shopping? Oh yeah, Like, can
I have AI just do all my Christmas shopping?
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Well?
Speaker 3 (03:43):
I don't know if it will go that far. I'm
sure there's probably a way to do that. Sure, but
there's definitely a way for you to say, I'm looking
for a fifty five inch television, what are the price trends?
When should I buy it? Who should I buy it from?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
But I bet if I said AI. My husband is
oburiously hard to shop for. He has everything he says
that he wants or needs. What do I get him?
She'll come up with something and she'll nail it. It's
a she now, it's always a she. I know it.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Alls are always she's.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
I have seen many of those lists which are curated
by whatever shopping company. But it's like twenty five things
to get somebody who says they don't want anything, yeah,
or something right. We will see some cold weather coming in.
A dry storm system sweeping into the southwestern part of
the state, expected to deliver several days of strong winds
(04:33):
and some super cold temperatures. If you're up in the
Antelope Valley, for example, they're talking about overnight lows near
or below freezing, especially later in this week. The winds
are expected to ramp up a little bit later today.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
When is it going to be eighty degrees again, you
have that probably Christmas Eve. That's usually when I get
my first sunburn of the winter.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Your pictures may be sharing more than you think. Smartphones
embed location data in every picture, which means anyone who
receives the photo could potentially see exactly where it was taken.
That can expose where you live or work or vacation.
So in most cases you're sharing your location and information
(05:16):
without even knowing it.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
My father in law sent a picture on Thanksgiving. It's
an old picture of the family together for Thanksgiving, but
it doesn't include the original location data.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
I've got a picture of my husband outside of Beaver Taco.
You ever been to beaver Utah, Well, if you are,
I would recommend two places. Beaver Taco had a couple
of street tacos there Chicken Delicious, and also the creamery
there in beaver Utah. There is a Delicious creamery a
(05:52):
lot of good ice cream. Really can't go wrong at
the creamery or at Beaver Taco there in beaver Utah.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
And also, if you missed it the first part of
the show, I would like to also.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Recommend Maverick Casino in Elko, Nevada played for five minutes.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Five minutes, got a royal flush that was on your
way back to California. That's right through Elko.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Elco is a lovely place. If you've got some you know,
you just want to get away from it all. You know,
you go to Elko. They've got everything you need, all
of it. I mean, you know they've got everything you need.
But it's also in Elko. Elco's great people of Elco
were nothing but wonderful. They've got a muffin. There was
a muffin from Elco.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Sorry I digress. Go on with all seriousness, you said,
I wonder was that a muffin? Would you consider it
a muffin? Or was it sort of in the biscuit family.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
You know, it's exactly what I was thinking, because it
was like a scone but not really kind of like
a muffin.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
How did you know what I was? Lost your mind?
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Gas price Natural gas prices are up about four percent
on average, four percent more for this year on average
compared to twenty twenty four. Industrial and power plant sectors
experiencing much higher price rise. The cost of gas that's
piped into your home rose by eleven point seven percent
in September. That's the higher rate of inflation than in
(07:19):
any other area measured by the federal government, food, medical care, clothing,
et cetera. And then, finally, Louis Luis G. Mangioni was
in court this morning, appearing in court in Manhattan for
the first day of potentially week long proceeding to weigh
the legality of some of the evidence that was gathered
during his arrest. Of course, he is the one who
(07:41):
almost a year ago, actually it's hard to believe, but
it was almost a year ago he killed a healthcare
executive right there on the middle of the street. Triggered
an intense man hunt for this guy. When they eventually
did pick him up, I think, if I'm not mistaken,
it was head of McDonald's. One of the issues is
that they looked through his backpack prior to getting a
(08:05):
search warrant, so the evidence that potentially that evidence could
be thrown out, they won't be able to use it
against him, So we'll see where that goes, all.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Right, coming up next, they found relatives on twenty three
and me, and now they're trying to find some inheritance.
Uh oh, the dark side of connecting with the DNA relatives.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
I got another email. You have four new DNA relatives.
I'm like, man, I'm clicking on that. I got enough.
I'm good. You're full with the ones you have. Yeah,
I'm good. I'm good. I don't need a fuller life,
you know what I mean. I don't need any more family.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Especially this time of year. Also, sorry, we have to
get into a new idea I just came up with
in my own head. I forgot to tell you about.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
You want to share it? Well, remember when we did.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Don't do it yet, Okay, Gary and Shannon will continue
more internal head thoughts from Shannon when we come back.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
We're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
You've reverted back to factory settings.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
You were a one sneeze person for years, and then
you evolved and you were two sneeze guy for a while.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
This is the I don't know. I think there's another
one coming. No, this is very unsettling.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
It is KFI AM six forty dot com slash pastathon
down there. There is the auction items that are available.
Our Dodgers game has gone up a little bit, still
nowhere near the actual value.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Go up about ten bucks. It's up to two thousand.
Oh remember it's got to get to three for Gary
to take the lotion out.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Oll put Well, Justin Herbert and the Chargers taken on
Jalen Hurts and the Eagles Monday Night Football that's coming
up a week from tonight.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Be there at live at SOFI Stadium.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
You get your tickets at Chargers dot com, slash tickets
and listen to all the Chargers games on KFI AM
six forty go bo. We will be given away a
couple of pairs of tickets to that game later in
this week to get you ready for that Monday night game.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Well, we have talked for years now, it seems about
all of the DNA testing kits twenty three and me
ancestry and the like, and it seems like now people
are trying to get in on some inheritance. Legal cases
are now showing how biological relationships are opening the door
(10:33):
for inheritance claims. Estate planning lawyers are jumping on top
of this, as you can imagine saying across your t'st
your eyes. Here is one of the anecdotes that is
highlighted here. Carmen Thomas growing up in Boston. Her mom
told her that her absent dad's name was Joe Brown.
(10:54):
So when she sent her spit to twenty three and
me and her twenties, she got a match with a Brown.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
She was excited.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
It turns out Joe Brown, the man she believed to
be her father, had died five years earlier, but she
connected with two likely half six sisters. They went out
for Boba t They had a sleepover at grandma's. They
looked at old family albums. A year later, Carmen Thomas
is suing the sisters and their mother. She wants a
(11:22):
share of the multi million dollar medical malpractice award they
won after Joe Brown died of an undiagnosed aortic aneurysm. Wow,
after all, her lawyer wrote, she was his daughter too.
What a nightmare. What a freaking nightmare. States are now
(11:44):
grappling with how to rewrite laws to address the issue,
and lawyers are encouraging people to rethink their estate plans.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Well, I gotta imagine that there are people who well,
I mean, clearly she's doing this, but there are people
who wouldn't want to have anything to do with an
estranged an estranged parent that you had to find through
twenty three and me, well, what is your right.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
To any sort of inheritance just because you have the
same DNA? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (12:19):
What is that?
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Well, because I could easily write both of my kids
out of my trust and will, et cetera if I wanted.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
To, right, But like, if you had a surprise kid
that you made, you know before you met your wife, sure,
and you died right now and the surprised kid turns up,
would that surprise kid have any right to your things
the way your kids have a right to them? If
your will just said I give everything to my kids,
(12:49):
well if it had their names, and what if you
didn't have a will?
Speaker 2 (12:52):
I guess that's the problem.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
That's all.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
That's a problem your deal. Yeah, then that's always a
problem I have.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
But one of the questions I came up with right
away was, at least in Carmen's circumstance, was did he
know he had a kid?
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Does that matter? Well kind of, I mean, he didn't
I have a surprise kid.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
If I had a surprise kid that I didn't know about,
and roll around, you know, twenty eight I'm trying to.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Figure out how long I've been married, So I do
the matter.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Figure when that surprise kid popped up, So a thirty
one year old child, a thirty one year old rolls.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Up and is like, hey, like Elmer. Elmer's thirty three. Yeah,
you could have a kid like Elmer out.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
There, daddy. Oh boy, yeah, I suppose that's possible. Oh
my god, my mom.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
By the way, Olmer, this is fun story, really quick
slight detour. Diane, Yeah, so you even know her name better?
Is this makes a story better. We're at my mom's
house for a couple of days before Thanksgiving after Utah,
and she's like, there's this guy on the show and like,
are you talking about this guy? I was like, are
you talking about mad or Richie? And she's like no,
it's a different voice like Elmer. She's like, yeah, who's Elmer?
Speaker 2 (14:03):
I was like whoa?
Speaker 1 (14:04):
And I took like I had a problem with it
a little bit, like I got real defensive over you Elm.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
I was like, what do you mean you don't know
who Elmer is? And she's like, he's got kind of
a wacky voice.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
I was like, it's not wacky. Everyone loves his voice.
I got pretty crazy with Diane over it. But anyway,
I said, well, we need to do a better job
of explaining who's on the show. If you don't know
Elmer by this point, But Elmer, I have an Elmer,
So you've got an Elmer.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
I didn't know I had an Elmer, and my wife
obviously didn't know I had an Elmer. Right, But he
rolls into my life or my wife's life if I'm gone.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
He finds out that he's connected by DNA to your
two children, right, And they start having Boba ti because
your daughter likes Boba Ti. And they start hanging out,
and Elmer finds out that there's some money coming their way.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
He wants in on it.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
If you don't have a will, what's his right to
that money as just somebody who shares your DNA.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Well, again, if I didn't know, I mean there's a
possibility that he would have an argument. But if I
did know and intentionally cut him out of my life,
I think that's irrelevant. I think it's irrelevant whether you.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Knew or not.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
I think you always your problem is you always get
into morality when it comes to legal issues.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
No, No, Because I was thinking my wife would probably
be like, well, my husband was an idiot for not
knowing or not telling anybody or anything like that.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
So here's a little bit of scratch. Here's twenty bucks.
You know, have fun on the car. Right, there's twenty bucks.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
I'm not saying because I don't think I see what
you're saying. The moral issue of giving up a child
versus having non.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Completely irrelevant when it comes to what that child has
a right to financially from your estate.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
I guess they're just gonna have to deal with this.
I mean, I'm sure it's been done before. But the
idea now that you can absolutely scientifically prove that you
were a child of that person.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
What a surprise too, hmm. Interesting. Usually though, the only
thing they.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Do say, well, here's this article telling me that I'm
very wrong. Surprise errors may have stronger cases if they
can show their father supported or even openly acknowledge them.
A brother and sister in Utah were fighting over their
late father, John's estate, when the brother reached out to
a man he thought might be their half brother. Their
(16:33):
DNA matched. The man's mother apparently had an affair with
John when she worked for him. Ah John did not
have a will. The man argued his claim in part
by noting that John had sent him birthday cards with
one hundred dollars for years, ah Utah Supreme Court ruled
the man was entitled to a third of John's estate.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Interesting for inheritance purposes.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
The court said he had two fathers, the one who
raised him and John on his biological dad.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
I didn't know this, as state planning documents can spell
out whether biological children who aren't known to the family
will inherit over overwriting state definitions of descendants.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
You're gonna want to do that, probably, you know for yours, Well,
you don't want to surprise elmar turn and now I do.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Actually, I'm trying to remember because we just did this
not too long ago.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
That was I don't need to do that. By the way,
I don't have surprise children, I know, but I'm trying
to remember if it was even if it was even asked. Hey,
like the guy writing the trust is like, hey, I'm
gonna ask you. Let me give you a call offline here.
Let me just I'm gonna text you a quick little
question and your wife probably doesn't need to know, But
do you have any sperm that got away from you?
(17:47):
Maybe found an egg elsewhere grew into a baby.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
I found an egg elsewhere. Motivational Monday. It's the first
one we've had an opportunity to do a holiday version
of Motivational Monday.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Oh my god, is this going to be Clark w Griswold. No,
but I did watch that movie you did. I was
going to watch it this week. Yeah, they did a marathon.
You got to watch that movie every holiday season. Gary
and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
There was a shooting in Seemi Valley just this just yesterday,
a man killed alongside his wife in their home. They
were apparently standing in their garage. Adventist Health Seemi Valley
released a statement that identified the victim as doctor Eric
Cordis and his wife Vicky. Police There and See Me
said that the shooting was a targeted attack. Police later
(18:42):
said they're also looking into the step son as the
potential suspect, and they also investigated a car fire and
a suicide that happened about seventy miles away in Chino
that they said might have been connected to the to
the incident. President Trump is supposed to be holding a
meeting today and half an hour from now no five
(19:03):
o'clock to one and an hour and a half from
now on the next steps in Venezuela. CNN was first
to report this meeting today key members of the Cabinet
and National Security Team, including Secretary Defense, Chairman of the
Joint Chiefs, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, They're all expected
to attend. President said last week that the US is
going to be stopping Venezuela and drug trafficking by land soon,
(19:26):
and issued a social media declaration over the weekend that
the airspace over Venezuela was effectively closed.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
We sorry, you done, yes, I mean yes, okay, We
are excited to see you tomorrow at Pastathon.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
It is the fifteenth annual KFI Pastathon. Can you believe that?
Fifteen years? Yeah? Do you remember your first I do? Yeah,
Well the first one was not at the restaurant, that's right.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Yeah, But we interviewed Bruno and got to meet this
incredible character, and then I think of the fifteen ten
of them have been to the restaurant.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
That sounds ish. Michelle would know for sure. We can
ask her tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
But the fifteenth Annual KFI Pastathon Live broadcast tomorrow on
Giving Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Michelle really created and grew this baby to what it is.

Really that people know about the pastathon and Michelle conceptualized
the whole thing fifteen years ago.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Katerina's Club, of course, provides more than twenty five thousand
meals every week to kids in need here in Southern California,

You can donate anytime atiam six forty dot com slash postathon.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
One percent of your donation goes to Katerina's Club.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
And like I say, and I'll say it over and
over again, as long as we do this, it is
the best way to kick off the holiday season personally.
When you donate to people in need, it is the
whole spirit of the season. It's not about you know,
spending too much money on your kids or what have you,
making everyone happy, making everything just right. This is truly
(21:11):
what it's all about. It's taking care of each other.
And Chef Bruno takes care of the kids who need
it there.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
In Southern California, the Yamavar Resort and casino just off
the two ten. When you cash in your winning ticket
at the will kiosk, it'll ask if you want to
donate your change, you say yes, you pick Katerina's Club.
Speaker 2 (21:29):

Wendy's stuff. The eleven Wild Fork food locations in Southern California.
Go to any of them and simply say KFI Pastathon

San Clementy Outlets in Old Town San Diego. You just
pick Katerina's Club right at the machine right there and
make a donation. The big deal, we'll talk about it
more in a couple of minutes, but the big deal
(22:14):
is going to be the auction items. We'll go through
some of those, but it is motivational Monday. M hmm,
Frank Cross, the ruthless, the cynical president of a television network.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Ib c. Oh, this must be Scrooged. Yes, I love Scrooged.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Preoccupied with making sure of the success of a Christmas carol,
and he wants to dirty it up a little bit.
He wants to make it with you know, the strippers
and the staple, the antlers, the little guy's head and
all that.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
You should bring strippers tomorrow to Pastathon.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
But after the visit by the Three Spirits, of course,
because it is basically a Christmas Carol, he realizes that
he can find joy every single day.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
It's Christmas Eve. It's a one night of the year
when we all act a little nicer. We we we smile,
a little lazier, we we we we chare a little
more for a couple of hours out of the whole year.
We are the people that we always hoped we would be.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
It's a miracle.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
It's really a sort of a miracle because it happens
every Christmas Eve.
Speaker 5 (23:21):
And if you waste that miracle, you're gonna burn for it.
I know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
You have to do something, you have to take a chance.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
You do have to get involved. There are people that
are having trouble making their miracle happen. There are people
that don't have enough to eat that there are people
that are cold. You can go out and say hello
to these people. You can take an old blanket out
of the closet and say here. You can make them
a sandwich and say, oh, by the way here and
if you if you give, then you then it can happen.
Then the miracle can happen to you. It's not just
(23:52):
the poor and the hungry. It's it's everybody who's gotta
have this miracle, and it can happen to.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Night for all of you.
Speaker 5 (23:57):
If you believe in this beer thing, you the miracle
will happen, and then you'll want it to happen again tomorrow.
You won't be one of these fasts. It says Christmas
is once a year and it's a fraud.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
It's not.
Speaker 5 (24:08):
It can happen every day. You just gotta want that feeling.
And if you like it and you want it, you'll
get greedy for it. You'll want every day in your life,
and it can happen to you. I don't I believe
in it now I believe it's gonna happen to me now.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
I'm ready for it.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
It's great, it's a good feeling. It's it's really better
than I felt in a long time. Cocaine's a hell
of a drug, isn't it. I have a merry Christmas, everybody.
Did I forget something big man?
Speaker 1 (24:45):
I mean, Scrooge came out of nineteen eighty eight. I
would argue that involves some cocaine. Well, that particular scene,
I mean, come on, I.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Had heard in many day different ways that you had
Richard Donner as director. I believe it was Mitch Glazer
as one of the writers, and they talked about Bill
Murray didn't want to do it until he had access
to the script. Help them rewrite a little bit of it,
Richard Donner said, and this is a quote. Bill Murray
(25:19):
is superbly creative, but occasionally difficult.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Well, I will just say this.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Everybody who knows knows that Caddie Shack was a cocaine party.
Sure that the entire set was a cocaine party. So yeah,
anyway more, we'll get ready for you. You could use
a little cocaine is a Richard Dreyfus just to boost
(25:46):
him up a little bit, something, change up the energy.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 5 (25:57):
Hey, Gary and Shannon Shannon out of salt, picture of.
Speaker 6 (26:00):
You and wow?
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Huh didn't he didn't elaborate? So is that good or bad?
I do not know for certain. Did you just cut
off the part where he was like you suck?
Speaker 1 (26:14):
No, that was the end of the message. I don't
believe you. I think you saved me on that I
would have and I appreciate it. That's what friends are for.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
He didn't recognize your face either.
Speaker 6 (26:23):
Hi, and welcome back. Okay, two things, Mike, do you
need a ticket to go to the White House tomorrow
or is it just a drive through thing? Or if
you want, how do we get to see y'all?
Speaker 4 (26:37):
Just walk in?
Speaker 6 (26:38):
The second? What is that generic crap they play when
you guys aren't there?
Speaker 2 (26:42):
I don't know, dude, there's no one to fill in.
Like last week. I have no idea, but I heard
it was really bad. Decisions are made at higher levels
than we We're not even.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
We're on a level or like sub level may level here.
But okay, so the deal with Posidon is you can
drive by. There are people who they have like a
drive by kind of donation line where you can just
drive by drop off the stuff if you're in a hurry,
and continue right on through, or you can park your
(27:13):
car there. There's a parking lot and you can come in,
hang out for a cup of coffee or what have
you for an hour or two or the whole show.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
You can bring your lunch, you can get lunch there.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
You can do whatever you want to do, spend as
much time or as a little time with us as
you want. The important thing is that you come, because
I guarantee if you show up to the posathon, you
are going to be put into the spirit of the holidays,
the correct spirit of the holidays, not the scrooged, cocaine
fueled spirit of the holidays, but like the true meaning
of Christmas and.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
What it is all about.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
You will absolutely leave feeling that way there unless some
a hole in the parking lot runs into you.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Then it'll kind of change it, but you'll still have
the spirit.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
And that's the other thing about it is sometimes we
get at a News and Bruce event, which is a
different style event. You're gonna get people who are there
because they had a bad day the night, the day before,
and they just look for some happiness or people who
are happy. Vodka or vodka or morning beer, whatever it is.
This is populated by people who are out there for
a good reason. So everybody is very happy and joyful.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Feel like you're disparaging our news and bruise crowd. No, no,
not at all. Everyone's in a great mood at the
News and bruise.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
Well, eventually after the first after the bar opens there
everybody it's in a mood. But the whole point of
it is, we had said this before. There's a whole
lot of negativity. There's a whole lot of snark. There's
a whole lot of sarcasm. I'm responsible for some of it.
You're responsible for some of it. This is just an
opportunity for to do something good, to be happy. Yes,
(28:49):
you're already spending half your paycheck today on Cyber Monday.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Anyway, you might as well spend the rest of it
on Giving Tuesday. I would like us to be less sarcastic.
I like us to be warmer.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
I'm going to hump the brakes on this slower. Yeah,
I'm not ready for that transition.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Yet.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
But I do think that we I've been mindful today.
I pulled back.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
We spent an multire segment ripping on Richard Dreyfus. Well,
he's an awful person. Kids won't even talk to him.
That's not sarcastic, that's a fact.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
I pulled back.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
What father writes a letter in all caps to their
own child. I know, I mean, I feel like I
just did, but I but it is different.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Yeah, what are you gonna wear tomorrow? What am I
gonna wear tonight? That's the bigger question. We're gonna be
on kat La. We wear that blue shirt? You have
the blue shirt? Yeah, the one that's blue with the buttons.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
Yeah, you've narrowed it down to approximately ten to fourteen shirts.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
It's long sleeved, okay, ten to twelve shirt. It's a thicker.
I don't want your nipples showing on television.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
Oh no, no, I'll make sure before listen. I got
nibble covers of my stalking last year's Dark Time. What
if I wear a holiday appropriate sweater?
Speaker 6 (30:11):
Like?
Speaker 1 (30:11):
What not?
Speaker 2 (30:13):
A Christmas sweater? No, don't make an ass.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Just a sweater, just a sweater. Okay, but there's when
I wore it. Last week or two weeks ago. The
kids in the other room were like, hey, look at you.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Quarter zip guy. It's not a quarter zip because it's
got buttons and not a zip. But is this an
aggressive sweater?
Speaker 1 (30:30):
No? Okay, no, not at all. I don't want you
to overshadow Chef Bruno and the kids and all the
things like the sweater. I don't think it's time for
a statement piece.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
You think that this is this is the time I'm
going to choose from my statement right. No, we are
supposed to be on KTLA later on tonight with Chef
Bruno to get ready to kick off the fifteenth annual
Pastathon broadcast.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Again.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
It starts at five in the morning, and yes, there
are people out there.

Up Call, everybody else rolls in an hour after that,
we'll be there at nine o'clock to start our show
and then the broadcast goes all the way through eight
o'clock tomorrow night.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
So if you're there, drive by, drop off the pastaen
sauce or donations if you have it in your schedule,
stop in.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
You don't have it, you don't have to have a
ticket or anything like that. Just come on in and
hang out for a while.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
We cannot wait to see you. It puts us in
the perfect frame of mind for the holidays. We know
it'll do the same for you. So join us, even
if it's just for twenty minutes or whatever. You can do.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Notification reunification.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
When Berlin was when the Cold War ended and they
tore the wall down, reunification I.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Just meant that we're back together again, reunified as a
team on the show. Oh, I don't think reunification is
just for the fall of the Berlin Wall. I don't
think it cornered the market on that. But thanks for
bringing up your generation, Paw.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
You were alive then as well.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Well.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
I wasn't paying attention. It was it like eighty When
did you start paying attention? I haven't, I don't. What
are we doing here? What else is going on?
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Time for what's happening?
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Cyber Monday caps the most to post Thanksgiving shopping marathon
in the US.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Have you done anything at work today or have you shopped?
Speaker 1 (01:19):
I feel like Cyber Monday started, you know, a month ago.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Yeah, considering you can get Black Friday deals the week
before Black Friday, and then Cyber Monday deals starting on
Black Friday, and then the last through this week. It's
all And unless you're very closely following what the prices
are for whatever you want, a fifty five inch television
or something like that.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
How do you know they're screwing you out of it. Yeah,
they're totally screwing it. They're not giving you a sales
not a discount, sir, You're falling for it.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
That's exactly right.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
And also, name one Monday where you have an Internet
shopped at work. In the past ten years, everybody has
bought something online at work on a Monday. I'm sure
on just every Monday. Yeah, because Monday you're back to work.
You don't want to be. You're looking for things to
procrastinate with at your job. I love my job. In fact,
(02:13):
you noted after that Richard Dreyfus interview nine years ago,
the last thing I said was I love my job.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
It was I loved my job.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
After someone came on the air with us and crapped
all over us, I still loved my job.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Laughed out loud while I was listening to that. I
still loved my job.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
You were so bright and bushy tail I was, and
the full vim and vigor.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
I still love it.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Adobe Analytics estimates that US shoppers will spend more than
fourteen billion dollars online today. That's six point three percent
more than last year. I remember twenty sorry, twenty plus
years ago. I don't know why I turned into a
fart sound twenty plus years common friend Brett Burkhart, great
(02:57):
reporter and anchor out of northern California, doing a story
about online shopping.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
And it was mind blowing.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
What was going on in what would that have been
ninety six, ninety seven something like that? Wow, And how
people were gonna you can send a company or credit
card information on the internet.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
And now we're talking.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
About fourteen billion dollars worth of money spent online compared
to twelve billion dollars on Black Friday.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
So I'm wondering, and this has got to be out
there somewhere. I haven't clicked on anything in two weeks.
But AI's role in Christmas shopping? Oh yeah, Like, can
I have AI just do all my Christmas shopping?
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Well?
Speaker 3 (03:43):
I don't know if it will go that far. I'm
sure there's probably a way to do that. Sure, but
there's definitely a way for you to say, I'm looking
for a fifty five inch television, what are the price trends?
When should I buy it? Who should I buy it from?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
But I bet if I said AI. My husband is
oburiously hard to shop for. He has everything he says
that he wants or needs. What do I get him?
She'll come up with something and she'll nail it. It's
a she now, it's always a she. I know it.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Alls are always she's.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
I have seen many of those lists which are curated
by whatever shopping company. But it's like twenty five things
to get somebody who says they don't want anything, yeah,
or something right. We will see some cold weather coming in.
A dry storm system sweeping into the southwestern part of
the state, expected to deliver several days of strong winds
(04:33):
and some super cold temperatures. If you're up in the
Antelope Valley, for example, they're talking about overnight lows near
or below freezing, especially later in this week. The winds
are expected to ramp up a little bit later today.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
When is it going to be eighty degrees again, you
have that probably Christmas Eve. That's usually when I get
my first sunburn of the winter.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Your pictures may be sharing more than you think. Smartphones
embed location data in every picture, which means anyone who
receives the photo could potentially see exactly where it was taken.
That can expose where you live or work or vacation.
So in most cases you're sharing your location and information
(05:16):
without even knowing it.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
My father in law sent a picture on Thanksgiving. It's
an old picture of the family together for Thanksgiving, but
it doesn't include the original location data.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
I've got a picture of my husband outside of Beaver Taco.
You ever been to beaver Utah, Well, if you are,
I would recommend two places. Beaver Taco had a couple
of street tacos there Chicken Delicious, and also the creamery
there in beaver Utah. There is a Delicious creamery a
(05:52):
lot of good ice cream. Really can't go wrong at
the creamery or at Beaver Taco there in beaver Utah.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
And also, if you missed it the first part of
the show, I would like to also.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Recommend Maverick Casino in Elko, Nevada played for five minutes.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Five minutes, got a royal flush that was on your
way back to California. That's right through Elko.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Elco is a lovely place. If you've got some you know,
you just want to get away from it all. You know,
you go to Elko. They've got everything you need, all
of it. I mean, you know they've got everything you need.
But it's also in Elko. Elco's great people of Elco
were nothing but wonderful. They've got a muffin. There was
a muffin from Elco.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Sorry I digress. Go on with all seriousness, you said,
I wonder was that a muffin? Would you consider it
a muffin? Or was it sort of in the biscuit family.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
You know, it's exactly what I was thinking, because it
was like a scone but not really kind of like
a muffin.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
How did you know what I was? Lost your mind?
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Gas price Natural gas prices are up about four percent
on average, four percent more for this year on average
compared to twenty twenty four. Industrial and power plant sectors
experiencing much higher price rise. The cost of gas that's
piped into your home rose by eleven point seven percent
in September. That's the higher rate of inflation than in
(07:19):
any other area measured by the federal government, food, medical care, clothing,
et cetera. And then, finally, Louis Luis G. Mangioni was
in court this morning, appearing in court in Manhattan for
the first day of potentially week long proceeding to weigh
the legality of some of the evidence that was gathered
during his arrest. Of course, he is the one who
(07:41):
almost a year ago, actually it's hard to believe, but
it was almost a year ago he killed a healthcare
executive right there on the middle of the street. Triggered
an intense man hunt for this guy. When they eventually
did pick him up, I think, if I'm not mistaken,
it was head of McDonald's. One of the issues is
that they looked through his backpack prior to getting a
(08:05):
search warrant, so the evidence that potentially that evidence could
be thrown out, they won't be able to use it
against him, So we'll see where that goes, all.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Right, coming up next, they found relatives on twenty three
and me, and now they're trying to find some inheritance.
Uh oh, the dark side of connecting with the DNA relatives.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
I got another email. You have four new DNA relatives.
I'm like, man, I'm clicking on that. I got enough.
I'm good. You're full with the ones you have. Yeah,
I'm good. I'm good. I don't need a fuller life,
you know what I mean. I don't need any more family.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Especially this time of year. Also, sorry, we have to
get into a new idea I just came up with
in my own head. I forgot to tell you about.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
You want to share it? Well, remember when we did.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Don't do it yet, Okay, Gary and Shannon will continue
more internal head thoughts from Shannon when we come back.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
We're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
You've reverted back to factory settings.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
You were a one sneeze person for years, and then
you evolved and you were two sneeze guy for a while.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
This is the I don't know. I think there's another
one coming. No, this is very unsettling.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
It is KFI AM six forty dot com slash pastathon
down there. There is the auction items that are available.
Our Dodgers game has gone up a little bit, still
nowhere near the actual value.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Go up about ten bucks. It's up to two thousand.
Oh remember it's got to get to three for Gary
to take the lotion out.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Oll put Well, Justin Herbert and the Chargers taken on
Jalen Hurts and the Eagles Monday Night Football that's coming
up a week from tonight.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Be there at live at SOFI Stadium.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
You get your tickets at Chargers dot com, slash tickets
and listen to all the Chargers games on KFI AM
six forty go bo. We will be given away a
couple of pairs of tickets to that game later in
this week to get you ready for that Monday night game.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Well, we have talked for years now, it seems about
all of the DNA testing kits twenty three and me
ancestry and the like, and it seems like now people
are trying to get in on some inheritance. Legal cases
are now showing how biological relationships are opening the door
(10:33):
for inheritance claims. Estate planning lawyers are jumping on top
of this, as you can imagine saying across your t'st
your eyes. Here is one of the anecdotes that is
highlighted here. Carmen Thomas growing up in Boston. Her mom
told her that her absent dad's name was Joe Brown.
(10:54):
So when she sent her spit to twenty three and
me and her twenties, she got a match with a Brown.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
She was excited.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
It turns out Joe Brown, the man she believed to
be her father, had died five years earlier, but she
connected with two likely half six sisters. They went out
for Boba t They had a sleepover at grandma's. They
looked at old family albums. A year later, Carmen Thomas
is suing the sisters and their mother. She wants a
(11:22):
share of the multi million dollar medical malpractice award they
won after Joe Brown died of an undiagnosed aortic aneurysm. Wow,
after all, her lawyer wrote, she was his daughter too.
What a nightmare. What a freaking nightmare. States are now
(11:44):
grappling with how to rewrite laws to address the issue,
and lawyers are encouraging people to rethink their estate plans.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Well, I gotta imagine that there are people who well,
I mean, clearly she's doing this, but there are people
who wouldn't want to have anything to do with an
estranged an estranged parent that you had to find through
twenty three and me, well, what is your right.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
To any sort of inheritance just because you have the
same DNA? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (12:19):
What is that?
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Well, because I could easily write both of my kids
out of my trust and will, et cetera if I wanted.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
To, right, But like, if you had a surprise kid
that you made, you know before you met your wife, sure,
and you died right now and the surprised kid turns up,
would that surprise kid have any right to your things
the way your kids have a right to them? If
your will just said I give everything to my kids,
(12:49):
well if it had their names, and what if you
didn't have a will?
Speaker 2 (12:52):
I guess that's the problem.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
That's all.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
That's a problem your deal. Yeah, then that's always a
problem I have.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
But one of the questions I came up with right
away was, at least in Carmen's circumstance, was did he
know he had a kid?
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Does that matter? Well kind of, I mean, he didn't
I have a surprise kid.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
If I had a surprise kid that I didn't know about,
and roll around, you know, twenty eight I'm trying to.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Figure out how long I've been married, So I do
the matter.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Figure when that surprise kid popped up, So a thirty
one year old child, a thirty one year old rolls.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Up and is like, hey, like Elmer. Elmer's thirty three. Yeah,
you could have a kid like Elmer out.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
There, daddy. Oh boy, yeah, I suppose that's possible. Oh
my god, my mom.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
By the way, Olmer, this is fun story, really quick
slight detour. Diane, Yeah, so you even know her name better?
Is this makes a story better. We're at my mom's
house for a couple of days before Thanksgiving after Utah,
and she's like, there's this guy on the show and like,
are you talking about this guy? I was like, are
you talking about mad or Richie? And she's like no,
it's a different voice like Elmer. She's like, yeah, who's Elmer?
Speaker 2 (14:03):
I was like whoa?
Speaker 1 (14:04):
And I took like I had a problem with it
a little bit, like I got real defensive over you Elm.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
I was like, what do you mean you don't know
who Elmer is? And she's like, he's got kind of
a wacky voice.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
I was like, it's not wacky. Everyone loves his voice.
I got pretty crazy with Diane over it. But anyway,
I said, well, we need to do a better job
of explaining who's on the show. If you don't know
Elmer by this point, But Elmer, I have an Elmer,
So you've got an Elmer.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
I didn't know I had an Elmer, and my wife
obviously didn't know I had an Elmer. Right, But he
rolls into my life or my wife's life if I'm gone.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
He finds out that he's connected by DNA to your
two children, right, And they start having Boba ti because
your daughter likes Boba Ti. And they start hanging out,
and Elmer finds out that there's some money coming their way.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
He wants in on it.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
If you don't have a will, what's his right to
that money as just somebody who shares your DNA.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Well, again, if I didn't know, I mean there's a
possibility that he would have an argument. But if I
did know and intentionally cut him out of my life,
I think that's irrelevant. I think it's irrelevant whether you.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Knew or not.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
I think you always your problem is you always get
into morality when it comes to legal issues.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
No, No, Because I was thinking my wife would probably
be like, well, my husband was an idiot for not
knowing or not telling anybody or anything like that.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
So here's a little bit of scratch. Here's twenty bucks.
You know, have fun on the car. Right, there's twenty bucks.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
I'm not saying because I don't think I see what
you're saying. The moral issue of giving up a child
versus having non.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Completely irrelevant when it comes to what that child has
a right to financially from your estate.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
I guess they're just gonna have to deal with this.
I mean, I'm sure it's been done before. But the
idea now that you can absolutely scientifically prove that you
were a child of that person.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
What a surprise too, hmm. Interesting. Usually though, the only
thing they.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Do say, well, here's this article telling me that I'm
very wrong. Surprise errors may have stronger cases if they
can show their father supported or even openly acknowledge them.
A brother and sister in Utah were fighting over their
late father, John's estate, when the brother reached out to
a man he thought might be their half brother. Their
(16:33):
DNA matched. The man's mother apparently had an affair with
John when she worked for him. Ah John did not
have a will. The man argued his claim in part
by noting that John had sent him birthday cards with
one hundred dollars for years, ah Utah Supreme Court ruled
the man was entitled to a third of John's estate.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Interesting for inheritance purposes.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
The court said he had two fathers, the one who
raised him and John on his biological dad.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
I didn't know this, as state planning documents can spell
out whether biological children who aren't known to the family
will inherit over overwriting state definitions of descendants.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
You're gonna want to do that, probably, you know for yours, Well,
you don't want to surprise elmar turn and now I do.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Actually, I'm trying to remember because we just did this
not too long ago.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
That was I don't need to do that. By the way,
I don't have surprise children, I know, but I'm trying
to remember if it was even if it was even asked. Hey,
like the guy writing the trust is like, hey, I'm
gonna ask you. Let me give you a call offline here.
Let me just I'm gonna text you a quick little
question and your wife probably doesn't need to know, But
do you have any sperm that got away from you?
(17:47):
Maybe found an egg elsewhere grew into a baby.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
I found an egg elsewhere. Motivational Monday. It's the first
one we've had an opportunity to do a holiday version
of Motivational Monday.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Oh my god, is this going to be Clark w Griswold. No,
but I did watch that movie you did. I was
going to watch it this week. Yeah, they did a marathon.
You got to watch that movie every holiday season. Gary
and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
There was a shooting in Seemi Valley just this just yesterday,
a man killed alongside his wife in their home. They
were apparently standing in their garage. Adventist Health Seemi Valley
released a statement that identified the victim as doctor Eric
Cordis and his wife Vicky. Police There and See Me
said that the shooting was a targeted attack. Police later
(18:42):
said they're also looking into the step son as the
potential suspect, and they also investigated a car fire and
a suicide that happened about seventy miles away in Chino
that they said might have been connected to the to
the incident. President Trump is supposed to be holding a
meeting today and half an hour from now no five
(19:03):
o'clock to one and an hour and a half from
now on the next steps in Venezuela. CNN was first
to report this meeting today key members of the Cabinet
and National Security Team, including Secretary Defense, Chairman of the
Joint Chiefs, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, They're all expected
to attend. President said last week that the US is
going to be stopping Venezuela and drug trafficking by land soon,
(19:26):
and issued a social media declaration over the weekend that
the airspace over Venezuela was effectively closed.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
We sorry, you done, yes, I mean yes, okay, We
are excited to see you tomorrow at Pastathon.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
It is the fifteenth annual KFI Pastathon. Can you believe that?
Fifteen years? Yeah? Do you remember your first I do? Yeah,
Well the first one was not at the restaurant, that's right.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Yeah, But we interviewed Bruno and got to meet this
incredible character, and then I think of the fifteen ten
of them have been to the restaurant.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
That sounds ish. Michelle would know for sure. We can
ask her tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
But the fifteenth Annual KFI Pastathon Live broadcast tomorrow on
Giving Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Michelle really created and grew this baby to what it is.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
I mean it is become a massive, massive deal nationwide.
Really that people know about the pastathon and Michelle conceptualized
the whole thing fifteen years ago.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Katerina's Club, of course, provides more than twenty five thousand
meals every week to kids in need here in Southern California,
and you are what makes it happen.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
You can donate anytime atiam six forty dot com slash postathon.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
One percent of your donation goes to Katerina's Club.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
And like I say, and I'll say it over and
over again, as long as we do this, it is
the best way to kick off the holiday season personally.
When you donate to people in need, it is the
whole spirit of the season. It's not about you know,
spending too much money on your kids or what have you,
making everyone happy, making everything just right. This is truly
(21:11):
what it's all about. It's taking care of each other.
And Chef Bruno takes care of the kids who need
it there.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
In Southern California, the Yamavar Resort and casino just off
the two ten. When you cash in your winning ticket
at the will kiosk, it'll ask if you want to
donate your change, you say yes, you pick Katerina's Club.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
That's where I go for my spirit of the season. Really, Yamava.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
You can go to any Wendy's restaurant in Southern California,
donate five dollars in more, get a coupon book for
Wendy's stuff. The eleven Wild Fork food locations in Southern California.
Go to any of them and simply say KFI Pastathon
at checkout. Fifteen percent of your purchase will be donated
to Katerina's Club. Again, you have to say KFI Pastathon
(21:53):
at checkout. And then there's also the giving machine charity
kiosks that are all over four of them in southern California,
a Huntington Beach Peer, the Tyler Mall and Riverside, the
San Clementy Outlets in Old Town San Diego. You just
pick Katerina's Club right at the machine right there and
make a donation. The big deal, we'll talk about it
more in a couple of minutes, but the big deal
(22:14):
is going to be the auction items. We'll go through
some of those, but it is motivational Monday. M hmm,
Frank Cross, the ruthless, the cynical president of a television network.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Ib c. Oh, this must be Scrooged. Yes, I love Scrooged.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Preoccupied with making sure of the success of a Christmas carol,
and he wants to dirty it up a little bit.
He wants to make it with you know, the strippers
and the staple, the antlers, the little guy's head and
all that.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
You should bring strippers tomorrow to Pastathon.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
But after the visit by the Three Spirits, of course,
because it is basically a Christmas Carol, he realizes that
he can find joy every single day.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
It's Christmas Eve. It's a one night of the year
when we all act a little nicer. We we we smile,
a little lazier, we we we we chare a little
more for a couple of hours out of the whole year.
We are the people that we always hoped we would be.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
It's a miracle.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
It's really a sort of a miracle because it happens
every Christmas Eve.
Speaker 5 (23:21):
And if you waste that miracle, you're gonna burn for it.
I know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
You have to do something, you have to take a chance.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
You do have to get involved. There are people that
are having trouble making their miracle happen. There are people
that don't have enough to eat that there are people
that are cold. You can go out and say hello
to these people. You can take an old blanket out
of the closet and say here. You can make them
a sandwich and say, oh, by the way here and
if you if you give, then you then it can happen.
Then the miracle can happen to you. It's not just
(23:52):
the poor and the hungry. It's it's everybody who's gotta
have this miracle, and it can happen to.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Night for all of you.
Speaker 5 (23:57):
If you believe in this beer thing, you the miracle
will happen, and then you'll want it to happen again tomorrow.
You won't be one of these fasts. It says Christmas
is once a year and it's a fraud.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
It's not.
Speaker 5 (24:08):
It can happen every day. You just gotta want that feeling.
And if you like it and you want it, you'll
get greedy for it. You'll want every day in your life,
and it can happen to you. I don't I believe
in it now I believe it's gonna happen to me now.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
I'm ready for it.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
It's great, it's a good feeling. It's it's really better
than I felt in a long time. Cocaine's a hell
of a drug, isn't it. I have a merry Christmas, everybody.
Did I forget something big man?
Speaker 1 (24:45):
I mean, Scrooge came out of nineteen eighty eight. I
would argue that involves some cocaine. Well, that particular scene,
I mean, come on, I.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Had heard in many day different ways that you had
Richard Donner as director. I believe it was Mitch Glazer
as one of the writers, and they talked about Bill
Murray didn't want to do it until he had access
to the script. Help them rewrite a little bit of it,
Richard Donner said, and this is a quote. Bill Murray
(25:19):
is superbly creative, but occasionally difficult.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Well, I will just say this.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Everybody who knows knows that Caddie Shack was a cocaine party.
Sure that the entire set was a cocaine party. So yeah,
anyway more, we'll get ready for you. You could use
a little cocaine is a Richard Dreyfus just to boost
(25:46):
him up a little bit, something, change up the energy.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 5 (25:57):
Hey, Gary and Shannon Shannon out of salt, picture of.
Speaker 6 (26:00):
You and wow?
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Huh didn't he didn't elaborate? So is that good or bad?
I do not know for certain. Did you just cut
off the part where he was like you suck?
Speaker 1 (26:14):
No, that was the end of the message. I don't
believe you. I think you saved me on that I
would have and I appreciate it. That's what friends are for.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
He didn't recognize your face either.
Speaker 6 (26:23):
Hi, and welcome back. Okay, two things, Mike, do you
need a ticket to go to the White House tomorrow
or is it just a drive through thing? Or if
you want, how do we get to see y'all?
Speaker 4 (26:37):
Just walk in?
Speaker 6 (26:38):
The second? What is that generic crap they play when
you guys aren't there?
Speaker 2 (26:42):
I don't know, dude, there's no one to fill in.
Like last week. I have no idea, but I heard
it was really bad. Decisions are made at higher levels
than we We're not even.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
We're on a level or like sub level may level here.
But okay, so the deal with Posidon is you can
drive by. There are people who they have like a
drive by kind of donation line where you can just
drive by drop off the stuff if you're in a hurry,
and continue right on through, or you can park your
(27:13):
car there. There's a parking lot and you can come in,
hang out for a cup of coffee or what have
you for an hour or two or the whole show.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
You can bring your lunch, you can get lunch there.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
You can do whatever you want to do, spend as
much time or as a little time with us as
you want. The important thing is that you come, because
I guarantee if you show up to the posathon, you
are going to be put into the spirit of the holidays,
the correct spirit of the holidays, not the scrooged, cocaine
fueled spirit of the holidays, but like the true meaning
of Christmas and.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
What it is all about.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
You will absolutely leave feeling that way there unless some
a hole in the parking lot runs into you.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Then it'll kind of change it, but you'll still have
the spirit.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
And that's the other thing about it is sometimes we
get at a News and Bruce event, which is a
different style event. You're gonna get people who are there
because they had a bad day the night, the day before,
and they just look for some happiness or people who
are happy. Vodka or vodka or morning beer, whatever it is.
This is populated by people who are out there for
a good reason. So everybody is very happy and joyful.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Feel like you're disparaging our news and bruise crowd. No, no,
not at all. Everyone's in a great mood at the
News and bruise.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
Well, eventually after the first after the bar opens there
everybody it's in a mood. But the whole point of
it is, we had said this before. There's a whole
lot of negativity. There's a whole lot of snark. There's
a whole lot of sarcasm. I'm responsible for some of it.
You're responsible for some of it. This is just an
opportunity for to do something good, to be happy. Yes,
(28:49):
you're already spending half your paycheck today on Cyber Monday.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Anyway, you might as well spend the rest of it
on Giving Tuesday. I would like us to be less sarcastic.
I like us to be warmer.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
I'm going to hump the brakes on this slower. Yeah,
I'm not ready for that transition.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Yet.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
But I do think that we I've been mindful today.
I pulled back.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
We spent an multire segment ripping on Richard Dreyfus. Well,
he's an awful person. Kids won't even talk to him.
That's not sarcastic, that's a fact.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
I pulled back.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
What father writes a letter in all caps to their
own child. I know, I mean, I feel like I
just did, but I but it is different.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Yeah, what are you gonna wear tomorrow? What am I
gonna wear tonight? That's the bigger question. We're gonna be
on kat La. We wear that blue shirt? You have
the blue shirt? Yeah, the one that's blue with the buttons.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
Yeah, you've narrowed it down to approximately ten to fourteen shirts.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
It's long sleeved, okay, ten to twelve shirt. It's a thicker.
I don't want your nipples showing on television.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
Oh no, no, I'll make sure before listen. I got
nibble covers of my stalking last year's Dark Time. What
if I wear a holiday appropriate sweater?
Speaker 6 (30:11):
Like?
Speaker 1 (30:11):
What not?
Speaker 2 (30:13):
A Christmas sweater? No, don't make an ass.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Just a sweater, just a sweater. Okay, but there's when
I wore it. Last week or two weeks ago. The
kids in the other room were like, hey, look at you.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Quarter zip guy. It's not a quarter zip because it's
got buttons and not a zip. But is this an
aggressive sweater?
Speaker 1 (30:30):
No? Okay, no, not at all. I don't want you
to overshadow Chef Bruno and the kids and all the
things like the sweater. I don't think it's time for
a statement piece.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
You think that this is this is the time I'm
going to choose from my statement right. No, we are
supposed to be on KTLA later on tonight with Chef
Bruno to get ready to kick off the fifteenth annual
Pastathon broadcast.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Again.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
It starts at five in the morning, and yes, there
are people out there.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
At five in the morning.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
You'll get to see Amy King, Moore, Kerr, Magic Wake
Up Call, everybody else rolls in an hour after that,
we'll be there at nine o'clock to start our show
and then the broadcast goes all the way through eight
o'clock tomorrow night.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
So if you're there, drive by, drop off the pastaen
sauce or donations if you have it in your schedule,
stop in.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
You don't have it, you don't have to have a
ticket or anything like that. Just come on in and
hang out for a while.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
We cannot wait to see you. It puts us in
the perfect frame of mind for the holidays. We know
it'll do the same for you. So join us, even
if it's just for twenty minutes or whatever. You can do.
