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 the iHeartRadio app. Coming up, ghosting and inescapable part
of dating?

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Is it ever? Okay?

Speaker 1 (00:14):
We have a special guest coming on who has quite
some experience with ghosting.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
You may love him, you may hate him. I don't know.
We'll find out in the meantime. What else is going on?

Speaker 3 (00:26):
Time for what's happening?

Speaker 1 (00:30):
What is happening? Brought to you my Trajan Wealth. Trajan

US diplomats in Washington bracing for cuts to the State Department.
Dismissal notices expected to hit inboxes as soon as today.

(00:53):
And this is part of a mass reorganization of the
federal agency, including the dissolution or merging more than thirty
hundred bureaus in offices than a fifteen percent reduction in employees.
I no know the intricracies of the State Department, but
there are three hundred bureaus. That sounds like there is
a bit of bloat, Does there not? Okay, this just

(01:15):
breaking from TMZ and it involves our girl, Britney Spears.
Apparently Brittany had a chaotic flight back to Los Angeles
from Mexico. A customs officer says she was acting more
erradically than usual.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
She walked away feeling just fine.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
Apparently TMZ obtained some bodycam footage from the end of
her flight. Now, if there's bodycam footage of any flight
that you take, chances are that flight has not been
routine for you. If there's bodycam footage of you in
any way, it's probably a notable day for you. This

(01:58):
was back in May when she tried to light up
a cigarette on a plane, and then after the flight
landed at lax And Airport, cop pulled up talked to
US Customs officer who met him at the plane's door.
That officer tells the cop that Britney Spears was on
the flight, adding we get her all the time.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Today she obviously didn't take her meds.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
If the customs officers know when you're off your meds.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
But how is how is it? How do you determine
when Britney Spears is off her meds? I ask you
I mean, we're all on Instagram. We see what goes
on there. Frankly, it's refreshing to see Britney's videos, in
particular the ones where she's dancing with knives and everything's fine.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
You know, she's not a harm to herself.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
She's dancing with knives and that's the Brittany we get
in the Year of Our Lord twenty twenty five, as
Michael Monks would say, and we're okay with that. Listen
to this one elsewhere in the skies. This is the
wife of Luftanza that is in trouble for running over
and killing her babysitter. They were on vacation in Sardinia

(03:09):
and then flew home to Germany before the investigation was
even done. Investigation for vehicular homicide. Her name's Vivian, she's
fifty one. She's wife of the CEO of Lftanza and
she was behind the wheel of a BMW X five.
This is just Tuesday afternoon when she strikes the twenty
four year old babysitter, her babysitter in a crosswalk in

(03:33):
this upstale, upscale Italian resort town. She apparently guys continued
driving until people waved her down.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
Right, something tells me the babysitter and.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
Husband, that's exactly where my mind went. Elmer, we've watched
way too many soap operas or our grandmother soap operas
or something exactly, or like, what was she doing with
the husband? Okay, she's fifty one, that checks out, you.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
Know what I mean? The twenty she wasn't. She was
pissed man. She just kept going.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
They said she was so shocked after people flagged her
down that she fainted. Huh, that's what happens when you
kill somebody. Sometimes you realize you're not built to kill somebody. Oh,
so we'll stay on top of that one. Did you
hear about the backpacker missing for twelve days in the
Australian outback twenty six years old? This morning when we

(04:29):
woke up, it was backpacker missing for twelve days. Now
she has been found. Her name's Carolina. Carolina twenty six
from Germany. She's been backpacking around Australia for the last
two years and they say she's safe and well, but
in fragile condition.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
Well, I bet twelve days, eaten leaves or what have you.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
Her abandoned vehicle was found and they think it experienced
some mechanical issues. She hasn't been seen or heard from
since June twenty ninth, but she was found walking along
a bush track. I don't know what that means, at
the edge of some sort of nature reserve by a

(05:12):
member of the public. She's been taken to the hospital
in Perth, but we don't really know. She has a
number of significant minor injuries. She's been ravaged by mosquitoes.
Oh that alone. That alone. We don't know what she
was eating or anything like that. You know, we hear
those crazy stories about women trapped in vehicles that use

(05:35):
a sweatshirt to like soak up drain water and then
squeeze it into the I mean, oh my god, I
would die so quickly, die so quickly. Okay, what else
do we have here? We do have the Dodgers. Tonight,

(06:19):
to us about ghosting, about how maybe it's just now
a part of dating and is it okay? He may
have a ghosting dilemma, a ghosting past, a ghosting present.

Speaker 4 (06:31):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
I'm not on TikTok because I've noticed that when I
do have TikTok on my phone, I waste even more
time and my tension span dwindles even at a quicker pace.
So I just get rid of it. But apparently this
is a thing. It's like the pendulum is swung from
body positivity to we're dealing with a Kate moss eating

Speaker 3 (07:37):
Well.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
We have talked about ghosting before, how it's it's not cool,
you know, but we also Gary and I haven't been
dating for five hundred years, and now, as New York
Times puts it, ghosting is an inescapable part of dating.
It's just part of the game, or is it? Is
it ever okay to ghost? You know?

Speaker 2 (07:57):
Eric Scalar yep.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
Eric has been on The John and Ken Show for
now how many years.

Speaker 5 (08:04):
I've been started with John and Ken October twenty twenty.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
Oh okay, I feel like you've been here longer. I
mean you have been here, but on the show, you've
been here since the twenty.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
Okay October twenty twenty.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
Okay, So you're like Ken, who is that guy? Ken?

Speaker 1 (08:19):
Who? It does feel like a long time since he retired?
So right, yeah, I know, I miss Ken. Yeah, I'll
text him from timetime. Hi, Ken, I'll be like, Hi,
that's about it, that's all about all.

Speaker 3 (08:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (08:31):
I know him and John talk about they try and
beat each other on who dies I do said.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
I tried to get into that game like a little
sister with them for a while and John be like, yeah,
Ken already told me. I'm like okay, fine, all right.
So you're in the dating world. Yes, you're what thirty one?

Speaker 6 (08:49):
Now?

Speaker 3 (08:49):
Yeah, thirty one?

Speaker 2 (08:50):
Thirty one?

Speaker 1 (08:51):
Didn't mean to out your age, you don't care. So
what's it like out there?

Speaker 3 (08:56):
Eric?

Speaker 5 (08:58):
You know, Terrence Howard once said in a movie, it's
hard out here for a pimp.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
It is hard out here for a pimp. It's a
great movie.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
Yeah, that's probably your first mistake.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
Thinking you're a pimp.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
You know that.

Speaker 5 (09:10):
Well, yeah, mainly just it's hard out here.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
Well, and I mean it's different for me because.

Speaker 5 (09:17):
I'm obviously looking specifically for a Jewish girl, okay, right,
But I mean dating in general these days it's so.

Speaker 3 (09:24):
So superficial.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
In terms of no depth. It's just like small talk
dating small talk.

Speaker 5 (09:32):
And also from my experience, and I think social media
has played a lot into this. Girls are a lot
more materialistic these days, and they're all about how much
money you make and what kind of car do you drive,
what do you do, what type of access can you
get me? Things like that, Especially when I tell them

(09:53):
what type of line of work I'm in.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
I will tell you that.

Speaker 7 (09:59):
I CA.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
I can guarantee that has always been the case. They've
always wondered about those things. They're not just wondered, but
those have always been boxes to check before social media.

Speaker 5 (10:12):
I think it's been enhanced though, because girls will see
other girls, like they'll see a rapper fly a girl
out by, I'm a twenty thousand dollars burken bag and
just think that's.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
Normal, right, the real pimps of the world.

Speaker 3 (10:26):
Yeah, the real pimps of the world.

Speaker 5 (10:27):
But it's like they'll look at that as normal, yeah,
and expect that. And so I think that's where the
social media is kind of enhanced it.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
What age range are you looking.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
In, Uh, twenty five to thirty.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
Okay, that's good, that's fair.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
Yeah, all right, okay, so you're not finding that women
twenty five to thirty want to want to make it
out on their own. They're just they're they're looking for
you to fly them out to places because they're hot.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
God h little both.

Speaker 5 (10:58):
A little bit of both. Yeah, depends depends on what
areas you're looking in.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
So where do you come down on ghosting? And wait,
real quick question to get out of the way. Have
we shut the door on a girl that would convert
right now?

Speaker 3 (11:11):
That door shut?

Speaker 2 (11:12):
That door shut?

Speaker 1 (11:12):
Okay, that's fine, fair, all right? So where are we
with this ghosting situation?

Speaker 3 (11:18):
Well? I was talking to a girl last month. We
were talking for about about a month.

Speaker 5 (11:25):
And it's interesting because we were talking towards the beginning
of the month, really just getting to know each other.
Our schedules didn't really match up, so we couldn't really
get together and have that first date. And we were
talking about where we live, trying to just get to
know each other, and she was just like, oh, I
live over the hill, I live in the valley. And

(11:45):
then I was just like she said she'd lived in
a few different parts of LA since she moved to LA.
She's not from LA, and she was I was basically
just asking her, what was your favorite part of LA
like living in since you've lived here. She never responded,
And this is obviously isn't the first time I've had

(12:06):
a girl and not respond. And I've used this line
where I always try and end a text when I'm
talking with the girl with a question, so it always
tries to get her to respond. I always use this line.
If I don't get a response for like a week,
I'll wait like a week. I guess we'll never know
do dot?

Speaker 2 (12:25):
Oh god, I threw up a little bit. We all
threw up.

Speaker 3 (12:28):
It works.

Speaker 2 (12:29):
That's gross.

Speaker 3 (12:30):
It works so gross. It works.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
No, it doesn't work. It doesn't work.

Speaker 1 (12:34):
And I'll tell you why you hit me back, because
she put you into a box and it's not a
good box to be on.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
But go ahead.

Speaker 5 (12:39):
What did she did? She Well, she was just like, hey, sorry,
I forgot to respond your text. Had busy week last week,
blah blah blah. Started talking for a couple more weeks,
went on like three dates.

Speaker 3 (12:48):
Oh you did, yeah, okay, went on three dates.

Speaker 5 (12:52):
I end up going to the weekend's concert at so
Far at the end of June. On like June twenty ninth,
there was a we're talking that day blah blah blah.
I let her know I'm at the concert. She's like, oh,
the weekend's great, blah blah blah. I was like, yeah,
I'm a huge fan, sent her a picture and she
had earlier said that she had watched a movie with

(13:14):
her friend earlier that day, and I was like, oh,
what movie did you guys end up watching?

Speaker 3 (13:18):
No response, It's been like two weeks.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
Can be Can I be harsh?

Speaker 3 (13:24):
Go for it?

Speaker 2 (13:26):
You got tedious?

Speaker 3 (13:28):
I got?

Speaker 1 (13:29):
These two questions are tedious. The question of what part
of LA was your favorite part? It feels like homework,
Like if I get that text, I'm like, uh, like I.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
You know what I mean? And then like what movie
did you end up?

Speaker 1 (13:44):
That's not going to get her endorphins firing?

Speaker 3 (13:48):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (13:50):
What happened on the three dates?

Speaker 3 (13:52):
Well?

Speaker 2 (13:53):
With our sex?

Speaker 3 (13:54):
No? Okay, No, she was twenty six, I'm thirty one.

Speaker 8 (13:59):
That means nothing, but from what I could tell and
what I could gather, I was a lot more experienced
in dating than she was.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
Okay, where's she from?

Speaker 3 (14:12):
Not California? Right, but what Arizona?

Speaker 2 (14:15):
Ah, she should be experienced.

Speaker 5 (14:20):
I was thrown off by I was thrown off by
how inexperienced this twenty six.

Speaker 3 (14:24):
Year old one.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
Okay, all right?

Speaker 1 (14:26):
Uh Okay, so you you felt that way when you
guys were getting someone.

Speaker 3 (14:30):
Yes, I.

Speaker 2 (14:33):
I you had to soft pedal it.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
Yeah, I wasn't. Really, I'm not too upset about it.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
I just write like it sounds like you weren't really
that interested in her, and that she picked up on that.
Like your questions, when I say, are tedious. You probably
felt no excitement sending those text messages, those two in
particular that we know about.

Speaker 2 (14:53):
So what part of LA was your favorite? You don't
freaking care. You don't care. Do you really care? You
don't care, maybe, but.

Speaker 1 (14:59):
Not enough to hext it, like that might come out eventually,
like oh you liked Venice cool as a cool spot.
You don't care, like what and what movie did you
end up watching? You don't really care what movies she
watched with her friends.

Speaker 5 (15:10):
Well, then I know not to suggest that movie if
I want to watch a movie with her.

Speaker 1 (15:14):
Yeah, I just think I just think that you're not
that interested in her, and she could pick up on that.
And then when you send stupid never mind to swear when.

Speaker 2 (15:23):
You send stuff, I guess we'll never know dot dot dot.

Speaker 1 (15:26):
Like that makes it sound like you did care and
you're just trying to You're trying to like like continue
the conversation even though you don't even care.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
You're you're over it already.

Speaker 1 (15:36):
Eh, exactly right there, Eh I was.

Speaker 3 (15:43):
I wasn't really all that.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
We're not in that, not into it, so I would
let it go, like who cares if she goes?

Speaker 5 (15:49):
I don't care about this one. But it's not the
first time ghosting has happened. But you've ghosted? No you haven't. No, oh,
well that's good.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
Now in other situations, has it been that you have been?
Have you ever been ghosted when you were super interested
into somebody, like did the things made, the initiative, made.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
The drive over the hill?

Speaker 1 (16:12):
No? Okay, No, yeah, I think and I think that's
what the real work we've done here today. I think
ghosting happens when both parties are not that into it.
You just have somebody on your bench that you're talking
to just to have a warm butt on the bench,
and they're never going to be your starter.

Speaker 3 (16:29):
But the you're putting it in sports terms and it's
all clicking.

Speaker 2 (16:32):
I know, but you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (16:36):
It's like if you if you've got Kobe, you're gonna
put all your effort into it. Well, no, you're not
going to send bs text like A was your favorite.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
You're you're gonna be like Kobe, I am coming to you.

Speaker 5 (16:50):
What.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
Oh, you're in the South Bay? No problem.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
I will make the drive hold out for the Kobe
and the South Bay. I would say, yeah, who's Jewish? Yes, yes, naturally?

Speaker 2 (17:01):
Yeah? Is that a thing?

Speaker 4 (17:04):
All right?

Speaker 2 (17:04):
Thank you, Eric?

Speaker 3 (17:05):
No problem?

Speaker 1 (17:06):
Always a pleasure. We should do Eric's dating segment on
the regular.

Speaker 3 (17:09):
Well, we had the Zoos story.

Speaker 2 (17:10):
Remember, Oh the Zeus will never. I guess we'll never.

Speaker 3 (17:13):
I got ghosted by that girl.

I learned was that you and Gary are going through
a trial separation where you pretend to be suspended for
a couple of days and then he pretends to go

Everything pans out.

station only allocate them two stickers to give away.

Speaker 11 (19:13):
How could that be?

take a day off regardless of whether Gary it's on
vacant vacation or not, and you do not care, and I.

Love that about you.

Speaker 6 (19:24):
I learned that I do miss Gary when he's not there,
especially going to be for two weeks. And I learned
that I love Michael Monks and I love him in
whole hour segments instead of just a ten or fifteen
in a segment. Now, I hope you guys have a
great weekend.

Speaker 7 (19:40):
Good morning. What I learned this week on Gary and
Shannon is that I love listening to Gary and Shannon.
But since Gary's on his vacation and Michael Monks has
been filling in, Michael Monks is just too funny to
listen to. And Shannon, you and Michael both have.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
Good chemistry together.

Speaker 7 (19:59):
So you guys have a good day, looking forward to
listening to Michael's reports.

Monks clicked together.

a life next week and tell them, and he.

Speaker 3 (21:36):
Wished happy weekends.

That's so good, Like I nailed it. Yeah, it was
a Michael Monks excavation. We learned and we dug and
we learned a lot about Michael Monks. I mean, he's
just you knew you would love him right away. You
need love Michael Monks within thirty seconds of meeting him.
And it just gets better. It just gets better. That's funny.
That was really funny. Oh and pay for the first guy.

(22:02):
I don't pretend to be suspended. That is a rumor
that I do not ever give credence to. I don't
play along. If I ever did get suspended, I wouldn't
stop talking about it. I would post it on every
place I could possibly post.

Speaker 2 (22:19):
I would repost.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
I would do nothing but talk to everyone that I
saw every day while the suspension was happening about how
I was suspended. I would wear it like a badge
of honor like, I'm jealous. I see John walking down
the hall. He's been suspended, Like that's so cool. I
would love to be suspended, but I'm not. So it's
kind of it's painful for me when I hear that

(22:42):
everyone talks about how I achieved this great dream of
mine when I haven't. I haven't yet yet is the keyword?

Speaker 2 (22:52):
All right? Then I knew is not goots. You need
to know.

Speaker 1 (22:54):
These are stories that happened throughout the week, but we
were just too busy talking to Michael Monks and about
his sale of k why led to too much junk
food on his way to Los Angeles to pick up
his cat's hair and make candy.

Speaker 2 (23:05):
So here we go, Honorable Mention. Honorable Mention not supposed
to mention the honor serving with you.

Speaker 9 (23:17):
Did great and honorable motive.

Speaker 7 (23:21):
So today we're holding auditions to become the nearest member
of Honorable Mention.

Speaker 2 (23:26):
Ooh.

Speaker 1 (23:26):
I love people acting a fool at a wake or
a funeral, or a rosary or any sort of celebration
of life. I love it when people act a fool,
specifically when those people have killed the person in the casket.
A teenager's tearful eulogy to her mother and stepfather of

(23:46):
help police charge her with their murder. Her name's oh no,
I'm sorry. Her name is Sarah. She's seventeen. She was
arrested and charged with murder this week. Her parents were
Kristen forty one, and her husband James Brock. He is
a stepdad, forty five years old. They were shot and
killed in their home in Carrollton, Georgia.

Speaker 2 (24:07):
She was sixteen.

Speaker 1 (24:09):
Sarah was when her mom and stepdad died, and they
say that mountains of physical and digital evidence led to
her being charged, including her eulogy at the funeral. Apparently,
people that watched Sarah eulogize her dead parents did not
buy it that there were no tears, there was no

(24:33):
psychopath trace of faked sadness.

Speaker 2 (24:38):
There was just nothing there.

Speaker 1 (24:41):
She In the footage, Sarah stands there on the stage
at Catalyst Church and her voice appears to crack from
emotion when she says, for those of you who don't
know me, my name is Sarah, and I am Kristen
Brock's daughter and James Brock's stepdaughter. She, by the way,
said she heard nothing when they were shot and killed

(25:02):
in their small home.

Speaker 2 (25:04):
She went on to say, this isn't easy.

Speaker 1 (25:06):
I'm really happy to get to do this, but just
bear with me because I stutter a lot. Probably any
mention of you being happy about getting to do a
eulogy is misplaced. In a eulogy, she said, I just
wanted to say goodbye to my mom and James since
we never got the chance to. I was so used

(25:26):
to you guys always being here that I never thought
that y'all would not be here. And I didn't have
a single clue about how much I needed you all
until now.

Speaker 2 (25:34):
Yeah, a ain't that the truth.

Speaker 1 (25:36):
Apparently her stepfather had a bad heart, had like a
heart machine, and she said, your heart will finally be
healed in heaven and you won't be in pain anymore,
and that gives me so much comfort. Again, maybe you
want to leave it out, but she's only seventeen, you know. Anyway,
they said, be wary the people around her who saw
this and thought what a crock. They said that she's

(25:59):
seen as just sweet little girl and that even a
monster can be a little girl in a dress.

Speaker 2 (26:05):
Number nine.

Speaker 4 (26:06):
At number nine, I did ninth place if a cop
to Dirty nine times out of tennis partner's dirty two.

Speaker 2 (26:11):
And I speak nine languages actual basically.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
Everybody at table.

Speaker 7 (26:16):
Then I'll be all ready to go another nine and niner?

Speaker 2 (26:19):
Did I get check Niner in there?

Speaker 11 (26:20):
Will you call him from Milwaukie talkie.

Speaker 1 (26:24):
A missing surfer has been found alive on a remote
island about eight miles off shore. This is in New
South Wales, Australia. Is spent the night at sea on
his long board. He had been identified as Darcy Defaults.
That's a fun name, and yes, spent a night at

(26:46):
sea on his longboard. His bike, clothes and shoes were
discovered at a local spot there. He'd left his phone
in smart watch at the family home. But a night
on the lone. He apparently went out too far, couldn't
get back. But he's in good spirits. He's being supported
by family. That doesn't sound so bad, does it? A

(27:09):
night on your longboard during the summer off of the
coast of Australia sounds.

Speaker 2 (27:16):
Kind of peaceful, right, No one yammoring at you. You're
number eight.

Speaker 7 (27:29):
My tid is bold every eight second listening to eight
different bosses drawn on about mission statements.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
He uh, oh, you guys, I just got a text
message from the boss of all bosses here, the president
of iHeartMedia in Los Angeles, who apparently listens to the
show and says, it sounds like you want me to

(27:55):
suspend you.

Speaker 2 (27:59):
That's what happened.

Speaker 1 (28:00):
When you do the show on your own and you
feel like you're just talking to yourself in a padded
room for four hours every day. Apparently people listen. No,
if you're still listening, I do not want to be suspended.
I like a paycheck. That was for jokes. That was
just jokes for us, all right. Number eight two people
face multiple charges after they were caught allegedly trying to

(28:22):
have sex while driving a stolen RV. I have a
follow up? Was the sex while the car was in motion?
I think that's the follow up we all have upon
reading that headline. There was a patrolman attempted to pull
over a car after he saw a white RV. According
to the complaint, the officer saw a naked woman straddling
a man. This may get me that suspension, won't it that.

(28:46):
I'll just dial that back and we'll not finish that sentence. Yes,
the car was in motion, specifically the RV. The RV
came to a stop a half mile after the officer
turned his lights on. Apparently, the man and the woman
did the old trick of changing sheet sheets and no

(29:08):
seats while being pulled over, and when asked what they
were doing, the man said, we were having sex.

Speaker 2 (29:17):
So there is that illegal? Can you not do that?

Speaker 1 (29:20):
Is this not America? Can you not have sex in
your vehicle? What is this East Germany? If I buy
myself an RV, I'm gonna do what I want to
do in my RV. I mean, you know, within within
legal reason. But that's odd. Oh I see one of
them was drunk. One of them was intoxicated. That's the problem.

Speaker 2 (29:40):
Guys.

Speaker 1 (29:41):
If you're gonna have sex in your RV, don't get
caught with a bottle behind the wheel.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
Number seven, the seventh son of the seventh son.

Speaker 7 (29:51):
We're on with seven day with a government, seven seven
years of college, don't a drain?

Speaker 2 (30:00):
Seven seven days.

Speaker 1 (30:03):
I love it when people go and seek advice from Reddit.
You know it's gonna be good if you've got to
go to the Reddit community to get back up on
your life decisions. It's a special type of advice, isn't it.
There is a woman doing adjust that she left her
own birthday dinner once her sister unexpectedly announced her engagement.
This was a Reddit post, like many do, that quickly

(30:25):
sparked debate the woman.

Speaker 2 (30:28):
She's twenty eight.

Speaker 1 (30:29):
She says, my birthday was last weekend and just celebrate,
I planned a nice, low key dinner with is, my parents,
my partner, and my older sister Anna.

Speaker 2 (30:37):
She explained that.

Speaker 1 (30:38):
She loves her sister, but she has a history of
making big moments about her. It's been a running joke
in our family. It's always bothered me. At first, the
dinner goes smoothly. They're enjoying an evening. The waiter brings
out the birthday cake, and just as the waiter walks
toward the table with the cake, Anna stands up, clinks
her glass, and launches into a speech. The speech ends
with her flashing a brand new engagement ring and announcing

(31:00):
that her boyfriend had proposed earlier that evening. They say
the moment's done to everyone at the table. They immediately
erupted into tears. The waiter awkwardly places they caked down,
and it has quickly forgotten amid all the excitement. The
rest of the dinner consumed by wedding plans, blah blah,
blah blah blah. The girl whose birthday it was says,

(31:22):
I told my partner I was not feeling well. I
paid my share of the bill and I left. She
is furious, and the sister who's got engaged is furious
that the other sister whose birthday it was, left, and
she's accusing her of ruining the special moment, her special

(31:42):
engagement moment, with her pounding over her birth. And this
is why I'm thankful that I didn't meet my sister
until I was thirty nine years old. I didn't need
a whole life of this, of this just bickering over
special occasions.

Speaker 2 (31:56):
Is this what sisters do all the time?

Speaker 1 (31:59):
Come on, now, you should both be happy for each other.
There's two special occasions. Number six.

Speaker 3 (32:05):
I got six, you got six, She got six.

Speaker 5 (32:08):
Number six, there's six more weeks of later by picture
of me a rabbi and six drunk and longshore mine.

Speaker 3 (32:12):
I we just dig you in a nursing home closer
to us.

Speaker 11 (32:14):
I don't have to drive sick down, drink another six pack.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
Let's see what we got here. There is a man
in Florida accused of stealing a novelty tourist train and
picking up bystanders on the fourth of July before being
arrested by Key West police. His name's Jonathan Winslow fifty seven,
and he told police it's my birthday.

Speaker 2 (32:40):
Now, what a fun day.

Speaker 1 (32:42):
It's your birthday, You jack a tourist train and you
pick up strangers to join the party.

Speaker 2 (32:50):
Again, is this not America?

Speaker 1 (32:53):
Does that not sound like a nice day of a
way to celebrate your freedom of America? And on your birthday?
That's that's unfortunate. He arrived at the depot, he left
his Kia still running, and he took off with the train.
Employees were left confused. But what a fun day? Oh oh,

(33:15):
here's his problem. He was on meth. He had a
meth pipe in his pocket. He was on the meth.
He had the meth pipe, he had the meth on
his person. Yeah, you can't. You can't do that. Number
five for five.

Speaker 2 (33:30):
I have five rules, be five minutes five.

Speaker 5 (33:34):
This is the year five point five wived me a favorite.

Speaker 3 (33:40):
Lose five pounds immediately.

Speaker 1 (33:42):
Would you know what the shape of your development is?
Your housing development? Like, would you know what it looks
like overhead? Maybe you do maybe if you have a
house or something like that, you kind of know where
you're at in your development, But would you recognize it
being shaped as a penis? Like who looks at an
overhead shot of a housing development and goes molk's like

(34:03):
a penis.

Speaker 2 (34:04):
I think there's something else going on there.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
Residents have blasted plans for a new housing estate.

Speaker 2 (34:10):
This is in the UK, and.

Speaker 1 (34:12):
They say that the shape of the housing estate is ridiculous,
that it looks like a penis. It's a two hundred
and fifty home development and local people do not find
this amusing. This has gotten the go ahead from council planners,
but people are up in arms about it. Some say

(34:34):
it's because it will remove more greenery from the area,
it will affect the wildlife. But others are turning up
to the council meetings demanding that they bulldoze some of
the houses because it looks like a penis.

Speaker 2 (34:48):
Into which I.

Speaker 1 (34:49):
Say, if you're upset about the shape of your housing development,
you have won life if that's what you're complaining about.

Speaker 2 (34:55):
Number four or.

Speaker 5 (34:57):
Minads probably on his fourth tranquilizer by.

Speaker 3 (34:59):
Now come in in number four.

Speaker 1 (35:02):
This isn't the same world you left four years as
the world's most expensive cheese has sold. This is a
cheese made in Spain, and it has sold for forty
two and thirty two dollars. This Cabrales cheese was aged
in a cave for ten months, so it is old.

Speaker 2 (35:22):
It is moldy.

Speaker 1 (35:23):
It is all the cheese things who spent forty two
thousand dollars on a piece of cheese, five pounds cow's milk,
five pounds of cheese for forty two thousand dollars.

Speaker 2 (35:36):
All right, number three.

Speaker 11 (35:37):
Free shall be the number that count and the number
of the counting shall be.

Speaker 3 (35:42):
Three were dead within three hours.

Speaker 8 (35:44):
Three security clearance level three.

Speaker 3 (35:47):
All three of three.

Speaker 2 (35:48):
I got all three of you guys for the rest
of your na.

Speaker 1 (35:50):
Be born live.

Speaker 2 (35:51):
After that three days they both start to steak three.
This is genius.

Speaker 1 (35:56):
This is up there with Petros Papadakus referring to James
Bergen or as Sweet James. This is brilliant advertising.

Speaker 2 (36:04):
Here.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
There's a billboard that's gone up in Cleveland and it reads, yes,
I buy crackhouses. This has gotten a lot of criticism
across Cleveland. It's an out of state investor that put
these up but what a great ad opportunity. Yes, I
buy crackhouses. Is your house trash? I'll pay cash.

Speaker 2 (36:25):
It's great. John Williams is the guy.

Speaker 1 (36:27):
He is a self proclaimed investor from out of state,
and it is a high visibility campaign and I think
it's genius. How are you gonna ever call anybody else
than the crack house guy?

Speaker 2 (36:39):
Number two? What's going on?

Speaker 4 (36:41):
You?

Speaker 1 (36:41):
Two?

Speaker 2 (36:41):
We got two fingers one two. There's two sons and
no women who ringing ing?

Speaker 1 (36:51):
There is a twenty one second role that they say scientists,
being that they hear everyone should follow while peeing to
stay healthy. Oh kay, it says according to research, any
mammal that's us who weighs over six point six pounds,
that's us should need an average of twenty one seconds

(37:15):
to completely empty their bladder.

Speaker 2 (37:19):
So that's the deal.

Speaker 1 (37:21):
In order to determine this number, scientists filled their days
with watching clips of various mammals emptying their bladder in
order to gain an understanding about how long an animal.

Speaker 2 (37:32):
Typically takes to pee.

Speaker 1 (37:36):
So they say, if a person spends much longer than
twenty one seconds peeing, it should be a signed they're
holding in urine for too long, leading the bladder expanding
more than it should. If you're peeing consistently for longer
or shorter, it could be a underlying health issue. So

(37:58):
who's going to count their next? All of us, we'll
all be thinking of each other when we sit down
and we start counting, second by second all together.

Speaker 2 (38:09):
Number one, weird, number one.

Speaker 3 (38:11):
Number one, We're number one, Ben, I.

Speaker 7 (38:14):
Decided to look out for number one. Are you the
number one row?

Speaker 5 (38:18):
Number one?

Speaker 9 (38:18):
Number one?

Speaker 8 (38:20):
Number one?

Speaker 1 (38:20):
Let's see lax to phil Adelphia. Let's see if I
can get on a flight to night not bad, non
stop on Frontier, about two hundred bucks. Why do I
want to go there? Well, it's why we should all
want to go there. There's a nude bowling event in
Pennsylvania tomorrow, the Pittsburgh Oh it's Pittsburgh, not Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh

(38:44):
area naturally like I'm actually planning the flight. The Pittsburgh
area naturalists are hosting a nude bowling event tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (38:53):
What is the name of the event?

Speaker 1 (38:55):
Balls out to bowling. Eh, you do have to be
over eighteen.

Speaker 2 (39:01):
Kids.

Speaker 1 (39:02):
You don't have to be a good bowler, but you
do have to be nude. Thirty dollars four hours of
unlimited bowling and shoe rental. Otherwise nude it's required, They
do say women can choose to wear bottoms. How sweet.

(39:23):
