Shannon checks in live from an empty SoFi Stadium ahead of Chargers–Eagles MNF, where Justin Herbert is set to play through a mangled hand and Omarion Hampton is officially back on the roster.
Gary & Shannon marvel at the record-smashing PastaThon total already topping $1.2 million, before diving into Hollywood’s biggest bombshell: Netflix and Paramount locked in a takeover war that could rewrite the entertainment industry as we know it.
Then, because it’s 2025, the internet has somehow erupted over Gov. Newsom’s leg-crossing posture and what it allegedly reveals (yes, that).
They tie it back to the ongoing Warner Bros bidding chaos, complete with audio from SkyDance’s David Ellison and President Trump tossing a political wrench into the deal.
Gary and Shannon close the hour with wedding-anniversary antics, missing fingers, Ronnie Lott, and why the series Landman is quietly uniting America.

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. Andy Reid going for it on
fourth down on his own thirty. The penalties, the costly,
costly penalties. Rashie Rice getting hit at one hundred and
nineteen miles per hour. Now we knows how it feels.
(00:22):
I mean, it was just a whole nation of healing
last night watching that game. I had to turn it off.
I was healed so well. I was healed by halftime.
I put on a Christmas movie when that Heather Brooker
recommended last week. It was awful. It was an awful
Christmas movie. It was a Michelle Pfeiffer and it was awful.
It's on Prime. Don't watch it, but she's beautiful. But
(00:44):
my god, how the Chiefs have fallen? And it feels
so good, so good to watch it. And then I
felt bad because that's not the Christmas spirit, you know,
getting joy from others failures should not be the way
we go through this season. But it did feel good
in the moment, and now I'll get over it.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
How are you?
Speaker 3 (01:02):
I'm fine? God?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
What's wrong?
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Nothing? It's fine.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Everything's not fine.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Clearly it's not fine going okay, So, uh, here's your
wife breathing too loudly this morning.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
No, I went through that weird uh, the weird pattern
that I have where I don't feel bad and then
I feel bad really quickly, cold wise or whatever. This
was so Thursday you mentioned I felt something like Tuesday
Wednesday of last week, but I didn't say anything. And
usually if you can't hear it in my voice, then
(01:35):
I'm not going to make a big deal out.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
I believe it was Tuesday you took and over the
counter medication.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
It was when it was Thursday.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Well, no, anyway, not Thursday. It was Tay.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
I did take an over the counter medication.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
I saw it happen.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
I didn't say anything because I didn't know what you
were going through, and I didn't want to cause a
scene and attention to it.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Because you know, you don't take a motrin.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
You don't take anything motrin, You don't take a freaking
you know, herbal. You don't put anything into your mouth
that's medication. You just don't do it. I've never seen
it happen. If you've got a headache, you just tough
it out.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
That's just you. So when I saw you.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Put a cold medication into your ma, I thought, oh boy,
don't say anything, and I didn't. And then the next
day you were coffin and you were doing the throat stuff,
and I was like, what's going on there, because you know,
then I have to show concern.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Oh thank you.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
By Thursday you were clammy. You were clammy, and then
Friday you weren't here and you said that your voice
was gone.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
I'm telling you.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
By Thursday night I started gutting real quiet, and my
wife couldn't figure out why I wasn't speaking. And then
when I did try to speak and it came out
like a plude. Then it was it was bad. Friday morning,
zero voice. Maybe Saturday morning I had about ten percent
(02:53):
of it back.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
It was bad. It was a rough weekend. It was
my anniversary week.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
I'm gonna say o, man, tech.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Yeah, it's nothing like talking dirty. When you can't talk right.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
You're coughing up phlegm with your dirty talk.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
I didn't.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
There was never really a big that wasn't a big issue.
It was just I was. I was annoyed, and then
I get annoyed at that.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
I get everybody goes through it and they all get colds,
but I just got so annoyed.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
I know, I know. And my husband's had the same thing.
He's had a cold for like two weeks. And the
interesting thing this time around, and I don't know what's
going on, but men usually.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Talk about their colds like you.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
If a man has a cold, you know about it.
And this time he has said nothing, nothing, nothing at all.
And I'm wondering, is it because last time I bitched
so much and said the same kind of thing I
just said repeatedly and just don't remember it that he's
kind of quieted down about it.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Usually he'll verbally take me through the whole cold.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
For twenty years he's done this where he's like, oh,
it's I'm feeling something.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
It's a tickle in my throat.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Okay, well now it's just gonna settle in my chest
for the next two weeks. Yep, it's just in my chest.
It's not going to go anywhere. It's like a whole thing,
like I know, the whole map of the cold.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
I don't understand you're complaining about this, but you but
women don't like it when men don't communicate and then
when we do communicate, you're like, got turn it off.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
You're right, You're right. We are an awful species and
you can do no right.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Amen, Uh, you are alive today it's so far. Of course,
Tonight is the Chargers game and their host in the
Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
This is going to be a big deal.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
It's a meeting of two teams that are eight and four.
What kind of eight and four teams are they? You know,
you look at what happened with the Chiefs last night.
Now as six and seven, the Chiefs have the same
record as the Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Wow, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
It's a tale of two teams really when you look
at the records around the NFL, like, what kind of eight.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
And four team are you? The Eagles have to prove
it too.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
I mean they yes, they won the Super Bowl. Yes
they're the Philadelphia Eagles. They've been strong for the last
handful of years, but they've faltered this season.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
They've had some issues.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
So I think it's really gonna be who are you
on display for the entire country. And I got to
say this morning is one of those mornings I'm feeling
very lucky. There is just something to be said about
coming to work at an empty football seat stadium. It's silent,
it is peaceful, the sun is shining through.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
It's a beautiful day.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
There's nobody here, and it's gonna be the scene of
just Bedlam Care in a matter of hours.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
It's a very cool vibe.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
What about Justin Herbert?
Speaker 4 (05:31):
The last I saw yesterday, the TV crawls all said
that he was questionable for today.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
He is not questionable.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Okay, that's why I there's no way Justin Herbert's not
plagued tonight.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
He's been He's got that broken left hand.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
He went through a procedure on it on Saturday, or
I'm sorry, on Monday.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Just take the batot of the Raiders game. Here's the deal.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
You and I have watched Justin Herbert play with a
broken left hand for two years. He first broke that
middle finger against the Cowboys October twenty twenty three, played
with some version of a splint or taped fingers or
a mangled hand for two years. That hand has if
you've noticed it, I mean, go back if you're really
into it and look at pictures him in a street clothes.
(06:13):
His hand looks freaking like there's something wrong with it,
like that's because it's been broken for a while. He's fine.
You'll see less action right under center. You know, you'll
see a lot of you know, shotgun not as many
direct snaps. But but other than that, he'll be fine.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
There.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
There will be a couple of throws that are not perfection, probably,
but he's going to be just fine and absolutely he
will play. The big news tonight Omari and Hampton is back.
This is the running back they got in the draft.
They went out and got it. This is the Greg
Roman Jim Harbaugh running game. Like it's they say it's
it's not a single running back anymore in the NFL.
But this was the guy they drafted to be the guy,
(06:51):
the workhorse on the team. So after his injury, I
believe in week five he comes back tonight. That's the
huge news here.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
You listen to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
You can always let us know what you're thinking. Leave
us a talkback message on the iHeart app. When you're
listening on the app, there's a little red button with
a white microphone, and you tap that and it leaves us.
Leaves us A message comes right in here to the
to the old computer.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
One point two eight nine million.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Dollars and more. Yeah, that's incredible work. The KFI audience
blows me away every year so far.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
And I mean there's still some money that is trickling
in and it's like when you go to that coin
master machine and just keeps there's still some money that
is coming in. But one point two eight nine million
dollars donated for this year's Pastathon to benefit Canterina's Club
and more than ninety three thousand pounds of pasta and
(07:55):
sauce collected. That's already more money than we raised last
year and just under the record of one point three million,
which was set just a couple of years ago.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
So, I mean, just an absolute.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Mind blowing amount of money that has come in thanks
to the generosity of KFI listeners and all the partners
that kind of came alongside Katerina's Club and KFI to
benefit Bruno's charity for the pasta.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Fon Thursday night to Netflix through a holiday party for
some of its departments at a restaurant Delilah. You and
I have been there. We've been there for a work event.
It's got an old Hollywood theme. How apropos that Netflix
would throw a holiday party at Delilah, this old Hollywood aesthetic.
Didn't We just said that to you. I just said
(08:48):
that you and I have been there. I said that
six seconds ago.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Five seconds ago. Wait, we've been to Delilah.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
You have to listen. We cannot repeat each other all
day long.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
We cannot repeat each other all day long. Oh, I
mean we probably could.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
But anyway, apropos, considering Netflix is the new person to
the party in Hollywood, and now they're kind of honing
in on what is the establishment. Warner Brothers a movie
studio established in nineteen twenty three, one of the Big
five created during the Golden Age of Hollywood.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
We talked on Friday.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
With a CEO of the company that represents the Cinema,
Cinema United President, Michael O'Leary, and he kind of like
really told the diplomatic line. I was expecting a freak
out from old Hollywood, a freakout from the cinemas A
what the f does Netflix think it's doing?
Speaker 2 (09:50):
But they kind of have to go along to get along,
don't they.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Well they do because they knew that they know that
if this thing is approved they're dealing with a whole
new power struck sure in Hollywood. But and I'm surprised
that I didn't get to hear the interview, but I'm
surprised that you said that he kind of towed the
line because they're very concerned that the Netflix model of
you know, maybe you put use Frankenstein as an example,
(10:16):
maybe you put Frankenstein in the movie theaters for two
or three weeks, but that's only to get it Oscar eligible,
Awards eligible. But the rest of them just get you know,
uploaded to their streaming service. And if that's the model
going forward, then what we know of Hollywood over the
last one hundred years completely deteriorates quickly.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
So you were talking about Paramount wanting to get in
on this, is this something that shocked other distributors.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
I don't know, that is a good question.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Paramount has for since September basically been making these un
I don't know if i'd say unsolicited, but maybe unwanted
takeover bids. And as of this big announcement from Friday
that Netflix is going to drop eighty plus billion dollars
on Warner Brothers, Paramount came in and said, oh, how
(11:08):
about this, we'll up that we'll take over to the
tune of about one hundred and I think it's one
hundred and fifteen billion dollars all of it. So it
would be about thirty dollars per share what Paramount's offering.
That's in contrast to about twenty seven dollars a share
that Netflix is offering with cash and some stock. Netflix
(11:29):
would also only buy the streaming and the studio service.
Paramount wants to buy the entire company. So, I mean,
there are slightly different versions of what's going on, but
the idea that a massive, massive newcomer finger quotes like
(11:50):
Netflix would take over Warner Brothers is terrifying to a
lot of people.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
So Trump as a role in this, apparently his comments
from out raising doubts over this deal.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
And I have I have those comments that we can
play when we come back.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Excellent, we'll do that when we return.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Oh wait, we've been to Delilah that club, right, I mean, oh.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
My god, it's gonna be a thing.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Though somebody suggested that I was at the doctor and Gary,
welcome back.
Speaker 6 (12:21):
To be quite honest with you, on Thursday, when Shannon
said you looked a little clammy and something was going on.
I honestly thought you took Friday off to go to
the doctor to you know, have a check out for
your heart or something. So I'm glad you're doing okay,
thank you.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Not to give everyone that visual, but it would take
a lot, take a significant amount of blood loss.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from kf
I am six forty.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
The governor's race in California less than six months away.
How are things shaking out in the wake of the
Katie Porter monster videos?
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Monster videos?
Speaker 2 (13:10):
She seemed like a monster.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
The other issue I don't know if you saw over
the weekend was whether or not Gavin Newsom is physically
capable of having testicles. This story about him crossing his
legs the way he does.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
There's so much material there. There's so much meat on
that bone that's just so easy to pick off. It's
like you, you know, you've baked it at the perfect
temperature and just falls off the bone. And because it's
so easy, I don't want to touch it, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
We've been talking about the now Bidding War. It appears
for Warner Brothers Discovery. We know that Netflix had made
the announcement going into the weekend that they were going
to pay about eighty two billion dollars for the streaming
portions and studio of Warner Brothers, and then Paramount said,
wait a minute, Hold on a second. We've been doing
(14:03):
this for months now, and we decided that we're going
to offer thirty bucks basically per share, which would be
a little bit more in terms of the total amount
that would go towards Warner Brothers Discovery. David Ellison was
on CNBC, this is of course Paramount's guy, and explain
(14:23):
why they're doing this in the first place.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
David, why are you doing this?
Speaker 7 (14:27):
So look, we're really here to finish what we started.
Like just to kind of take you through the road
in terms of how we got here. On December first,
we made an offer to acquire Warner Brothers Discovery to
their board, had a conversation with David Zaslov. He came
back with a bunch of issues. We then on December fourth,
sent in a bid that addressed every single one of them,
that is superior to the bid that they signed up.
(14:49):
Our offer is thirty dollars a share, all cash, forty
one billion dollars in equity, that's backstopped by the Ellison
family in Redbird fifty four billion dollars in debt. With
commitments from City Bank of America and Apollo, we have
faster regulatory certainty to close. And our deal is pro consumer,
it's pro creative talent, it's it's pro competition.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Now.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Among other things, he says that if in fact, Paramount
is the one that takes over Warner Brothers, it kind
of keeps Hollywood in the same cycle that it's been
in for a few, well for several decades.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Now.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
There is concern though, Directors Guild of America, Producers Guild,
the Writers Guild, these major unions have all released statements
expressing concern if it's Netflix that takes over. Now you
mentioned this, President Trump was asked about all of this.
President Trump says he met with Ted Sarandos. Sarandos, one
of the co heads of Netflix, and likes him.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
He's a good guy, really great guy.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
But he made some comments towards the end you'll hear
them here that could cause some problems for a potential
Netflix takeover.
Speaker 8 (16:00):
May be allowed to buy Warner Brothers, should well, that's
a question. They have a very big market share, and
when they have Warner Brothers, you know that chair goes
up a lot. So I don't know that's going to
be here for some economists to tell it. Call so
and I'll be involved in that decision too. But it
is a big market share. There's no question, though there
could be a problem.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
And then he says there could that could be a problem.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
White House Economic Advisor Kevin Hassett went on CNBC Today,
So the Justice Department would examine the deal's impact for
quite a while. When I hear things like this, I think,
what are you going to do for me? You know, like,
how am I going to get something out of this deal?
If I'm Trump? How is this business deal going to
(16:43):
affect me?
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Donald J? Trump?
Speaker 1 (16:45):
How can I use my Justice Department to make this
benefit me either now.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Or down the line or my family down the line,
because otherwise, uh, I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
That's what I hear. And I would hear that from
any politician. If the mayor of la came out and said,
we'll have to take a look at this, to me,
that means how can I get a piece of this pie?
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Well, so there is a huh not that.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
The mayor of LA would have any jurisdiction. I understand that,
but I'm just trying to make the point that it
just seems to me like people are looking out for
Number One.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
There is an interesting aspect to this that does it
because right away, I don't know if there's any connection
between you know, it would just be Trump kind of
calling in favors from some of these very powerful Hollywood people.
Although although the private equity firm that's led by Dimple's Kushner,
(17:42):
Affinity Partners, is a part of the paramount deal, according
to the regulatory filing, the Affinity Partners is the is
the prime Well maybe Affinity Partners was not actually mentioned
in the press release that came out today, but they
are apparently part of the sovereign wealth monies that come
(18:07):
from Saudi Arabia and Abu Dhabi and caught her. We
know that Jared Kushner has been very active in terms
of Middle East investments, so there is the potential that
that may have kind of throw a wrinkle into it
and may be that sort of thread of connection to
the president financially, which obviously would raise some massive concerns
(18:30):
if he is in fact as involved as he claims
he's going to be when it comes to approval for
this offer, approval or disapproval. So that would be quite
that would be quite a deal if they were able
to connect all of them.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Forty six percent of gen Z plans to quit. How
to stop them is the headline to which I ask,
why are we stopping them.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
To want to quit?
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Leave?
Speaker 1 (18:57):
I mean, who benefits from somebody staying in a job
they don't want to be in. I've never had that
benefit of working atmosphere.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Yeah, that doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
If you came to work every day and you're like,
I hate this show, I don't want to do this show.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Got to do this show, I'd be like, then leave.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
I do think you need to work on your impression
of me.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Very No, that wasn't you. That was you if you
were a grumpy.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
Oh you're a grumpy If I was a grumpy yeah,
got it, okay.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Because that wouldn't be you at all, because you're not
like that at all. So that would that I was
trying to sound as much.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
Not like you as possible, trying to smile more and
find joy.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
That's you.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
That's what I like it.
Speaker 5 (19:45):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Shannon's at so far already for tonight some morning have
football game, of course you'll hear live here on kfiither
Chart are hosting the Philadelphia Eagles kickoff coming up just
after five o'clock tonight.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Did you have a nice anniversary weekend? Though?
Speaker 4 (20:07):
Cold aside, I will say this, We had an absolute
great dinner on Saturday night?
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Oh where did you go?
Speaker 4 (20:14):
We just went to a little steakhouse in town Nice
and it's it was great. We actually found a nice
piece of meat. I did big old New York strip.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Did you taste it with the cold?
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (20:25):
Yeah, yeah, that was not a problem. And a good
old fashion. When you get somebody who makes a good
old fashion, it is really it's such a game change.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
It's something you want to savor, and.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
You should because if you don't, it'll knock you on
your ass.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Really.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
That is also that is also very true. Our waiter
had eight fingers and you got.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
To come with a story. Well you did ask.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Well, here's the thing. It was an obvious it's an
obvious eight. Well, it's hard to miss when you know
one puts.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
The bread was missing. Left hand yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
The first two fingers.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Uh so, which what is that the what do you
mean the first.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
Two next to the thumb, The first two fingers.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
So the ring finger and the index finger gone.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
No, no, the ring finger and the pinky. Uh yeah,
the ring finger and the pinky, we're the only ones left.
First finger and middle.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Finger were gone.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
So the middle finger and the index finger gone.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Yes, I guess that's the index finger. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
Yeah, And it was obviously you know, he comes and
puts bread on the table and you go, oh, why.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Did I immediately think it was a finger missing on
each hand When you said two fingers that Ali had
eight fingers.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
I immediately thought he lost one from both. That's weird thing.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Yeah, that's why I was like, you gotta find out,
you know, like it was one a chainsaw situation and
the other was just you know, a hammer.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
I don't know, but my wife said very clearly to
me before we leave, I will know the story of
those fingers.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
You're what, it's a special gift for your wife because
she likes physical ad moraleity, abnormalities.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
That's an interesting way to put it. I mean, look
at me. So so it did. We had a great conversation.
It was really fun.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
It was we said, there's a funny little quirk to
the table that we get because it's slightly above the
rest of the floor, so we call it our seat
of judgment.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
We laugh at people and because where that's who we are.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
What do you mean people say about you? I don't
care when you're judging.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
In that moment, I don't care. I was just having
a great time.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
But my wife did ask as we were leaving, Hey,
what's uh, what's the story with your fingers? She asked
it in a much more up front, straightforward tried not
to make it weird, and said, I'd love to know
what happened to your hand.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
I think that's how she said it, And.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
He was very He said, well, I was fifteen, sixteen
years old, and I got I was in a machine.
He didn't really get into the details of what the
machine was or what prop what the happen, what happened?
Speaker 3 (23:00):
But finger's gone.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
So a little young to be operating a machine.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Oh he was. He was probably seventy.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Right, Okay, so before there were regulations.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Osha got hold.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Well to make it less weird by highlighting a story
about myself when I met Ronnie Lot. Ronnie Lot famously
had his finger cut off rather than miss a playoff
game when he played for the forty nine ers.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Yeah, when I met Ronnie.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Lott, I said can I see your finger? And then
I said can I touch it? All very weird? It
sounds like it's not weird in the moment, it was
very weird. We were at an event.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
No, it sounds weird, trus it does.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Yes, he like pulled out his hand, like his hands
in his pocket.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
I was like, can I see your finger?
Speaker 1 (23:54):
He pulls out his hand like he's looking at me
like what the hell is this?
Speaker 5 (23:59):
What?
Speaker 1 (24:00):
And he just kind of holds up his hand And
then I went further and can I touch it?
Speaker 6 (24:04):
Like?
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Who says that?
Speaker 3 (24:05):
What a weirdo?
Speaker 2 (24:06):
What a freaking weirdo? That was like twenty years ago.
Speaker 4 (24:11):
You can hear it though, That's what's good. You can
hear No, you can hear that. You know that that's
a weird thing to do.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
I know that that was weird. So the waiter thing
was fine. Anything next to that story is just fine behavior.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Can I touch it? Get out of here? They did
that on Landman too, not the touching thing. What do
you mean I love Landman by the way.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Yeah, Billy Bob, he just cut off his finger because
he was like, I got no time for this and
cut his own finger off.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
That's right. Yeah, God, I love Landman.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
You know that's a I read an article about Landman
about how a ton of a show bridging bringing America together,
that it's kind of like a conservative show with some
sort of you know, Republican slash conservative values because you
got to put a label on everything now, right, but
that so many liberals love that show. It's got this
huge liberal audience.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Why.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
I don't know. I didn't finish reading because it's Billy Bob.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Because it's a good show, and it gives a crazy show.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Who cares what the politics are?
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Yeah, you shouldn't care if you're watching that show and
you're like, I don't know it's in Texas, I don't
know oil, I don't know what about the environment, Get
the hell out of here.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
It's very there's plenty of soap opera e storylines in
it to keep it appealing to people who don't everybody. Yeah,
you've been listening to the Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
You can always hear us live on KFI.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
AM six forty nine am to one pm every Monday
through Friday, and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
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. Andy Reid going for it on
fourth down on his own thirty. The penalties, the costly,
costly penalties. Rashie Rice getting hit at one hundred and
nineteen miles per hour. Now we knows how it feels.
(00:22):
I mean, it was just a whole nation of healing
last night watching that game. I had to turn it off.
I was healed so well. I was healed by halftime.
I put on a Christmas movie when that Heather Brooker
recommended last week. It was awful. It was an awful
Christmas movie. It was a Michelle Pfeiffer and it was awful.
It's on Prime. Don't watch it, but she's beautiful. But
(00:44):
my god, how the Chiefs have fallen? And it feels
so good, so good to watch it. And then I
felt bad because that's not the Christmas spirit, you know,
getting joy from others failures should not be the way
we go through this season. But it did feel good
in the moment, and now I'll get over it.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
How are you?
Speaker 3 (01:02):
I'm fine? God?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
What's wrong?
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Nothing? It's fine.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Everything's not fine.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Clearly it's not fine going okay, So, uh, here's your
wife breathing too loudly this morning.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
No, I went through that weird uh, the weird pattern
that I have where I don't feel bad and then
I feel bad really quickly, cold wise or whatever. This
was so Thursday you mentioned I felt something like Tuesday
Wednesday of last week, but I didn't say anything. And
usually if you can't hear it in my voice, then
(01:35):
I'm not going to make a big deal out.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
I believe it was Tuesday you took and over the
counter medication.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
It was when it was Thursday.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Well, no, anyway, not Thursday. It was Tay.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
I did take an over the counter medication.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
I saw it happen.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
I didn't say anything because I didn't know what you
were going through, and I didn't want to cause a
scene and attention to it.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Because you know, you don't take a motrin.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
You don't take anything motrin, You don't take a freaking
you know, herbal. You don't put anything into your mouth
that's medication. You just don't do it. I've never seen
it happen. If you've got a headache, you just tough
it out.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
That's just you. So when I saw you.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Put a cold medication into your ma, I thought, oh boy,
don't say anything, and I didn't. And then the next
day you were coffin and you were doing the throat stuff,
and I was like, what's going on there, because you know,
then I have to show concern.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Oh thank you.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
By Thursday you were clammy. You were clammy, and then
Friday you weren't here and you said that your voice
was gone.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
I'm telling you.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
By Thursday night I started gutting real quiet, and my
wife couldn't figure out why I wasn't speaking. And then
when I did try to speak and it came out
like a plude. Then it was it was bad. Friday morning,
zero voice. Maybe Saturday morning I had about ten percent
(02:53):
of it back.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
It was bad. It was a rough weekend. It was
my anniversary week.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
I'm gonna say o, man, tech.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Yeah, it's nothing like talking dirty. When you can't talk right.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
You're coughing up phlegm with your dirty talk.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
I didn't.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
There was never really a big that wasn't a big issue.
It was just I was. I was annoyed, and then
I get annoyed at that.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
I get everybody goes through it and they all get colds,
but I just got so annoyed.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
I know, I know. And my husband's had the same thing.
He's had a cold for like two weeks. And the
interesting thing this time around, and I don't know what's
going on, but men usually.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Talk about their colds like you.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
If a man has a cold, you know about it.
And this time he has said nothing, nothing, nothing at all.
And I'm wondering, is it because last time I bitched
so much and said the same kind of thing I
just said repeatedly and just don't remember it that he's
kind of quieted down about it.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Usually he'll verbally take me through the whole cold.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
For twenty years he's done this where he's like, oh,
it's I'm feeling something.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
It's a tickle in my throat.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Okay, well now it's just gonna settle in my chest
for the next two weeks. Yep, it's just in my chest.
It's not going to go anywhere. It's like a whole thing,
like I know, the whole map of the cold.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
I don't understand you're complaining about this, but you but
women don't like it when men don't communicate and then
when we do communicate, you're like, got turn it off.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
You're right, You're right. We are an awful species and
you can do no right.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Amen, Uh, you are alive today it's so far. Of course,
Tonight is the Chargers game and their host in the
Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
This is going to be a big deal.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
It's a meeting of two teams that are eight and four.
What kind of eight and four teams are they? You know,
you look at what happened with the Chiefs last night.
Now as six and seven, the Chiefs have the same
record as the Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Wow, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
It's a tale of two teams really when you look
at the records around the NFL, like, what kind of eight.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
And four team are you? The Eagles have to prove
it too.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
I mean they yes, they won the Super Bowl. Yes
they're the Philadelphia Eagles. They've been strong for the last
handful of years, but they've faltered this season.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
They've had some issues.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
So I think it's really gonna be who are you
on display for the entire country. And I got to
say this morning is one of those mornings I'm feeling
very lucky. There is just something to be said about
coming to work at an empty football seat stadium. It's silent,
it is peaceful, the sun is shining through.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
It's a beautiful day.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
There's nobody here, and it's gonna be the scene of
just Bedlam Care in a matter of hours.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
It's a very cool vibe.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
What about Justin Herbert?
Speaker 4 (05:31):
The last I saw yesterday, the TV crawls all said
that he was questionable for today.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
He is not questionable.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Okay, that's why I there's no way Justin Herbert's not
plagued tonight.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
He's been He's got that broken left hand.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
He went through a procedure on it on Saturday, or
I'm sorry, on Monday.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Just take the batot of the Raiders game. Here's the deal.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
You and I have watched Justin Herbert play with a
broken left hand for two years. He first broke that
middle finger against the Cowboys October twenty twenty three, played
with some version of a splint or taped fingers or
a mangled hand for two years. That hand has if
you've noticed it, I mean, go back if you're really
into it and look at pictures him in a street clothes.
(06:13):
His hand looks freaking like there's something wrong with it,
like that's because it's been broken for a while. He's fine.
You'll see less action right under center. You know, you'll
see a lot of you know, shotgun not as many
direct snaps. But but other than that, he'll be fine.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
There.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
There will be a couple of throws that are not perfection, probably,
but he's going to be just fine and absolutely he
will play. The big news tonight Omari and Hampton is back.
This is the running back they got in the draft.
They went out and got it. This is the Greg
Roman Jim Harbaugh running game. Like it's they say it's
it's not a single running back anymore in the NFL.
But this was the guy they drafted to be the guy,
(06:51):
the workhorse on the team. So after his injury, I
believe in week five he comes back tonight. That's the
huge news here.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
You listen to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
You can always let us know what you're thinking. Leave
us a talkback message on the iHeart app. When you're
listening on the app, there's a little red button with
a white microphone, and you tap that and it leaves us.
Leaves us A message comes right in here to the
to the old computer.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
One point two eight nine million.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Dollars and more. Yeah, that's incredible work. The KFI audience
blows me away every year so far.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
And I mean there's still some money that is trickling
in and it's like when you go to that coin
master machine and just keeps there's still some money that
is coming in. But one point two eight nine million
dollars donated for this year's Pastathon to benefit Canterina's Club
and more than ninety three thousand pounds of pasta and
(07:55):
sauce collected. That's already more money than we raised last
year and just under the record of one point three million,
which was set just a couple of years ago.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
So, I mean, just an absolute.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Mind blowing amount of money that has come in thanks
to the generosity of KFI listeners and all the partners
that kind of came alongside Katerina's Club and KFI to
benefit Bruno's charity for the pasta.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Fon Thursday night to Netflix through a holiday party for
some of its departments at a restaurant Delilah. You and
I have been there. We've been there for a work event.
It's got an old Hollywood theme. How apropos that Netflix
would throw a holiday party at Delilah, this old Hollywood aesthetic.
Didn't We just said that to you. I just said
(08:48):
that you and I have been there. I said that
six seconds ago.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Five seconds ago. Wait, we've been to Delilah.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
You have to listen. We cannot repeat each other all
day long.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
We cannot repeat each other all day long. Oh, I
mean we probably could.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
But anyway, apropos, considering Netflix is the new person to
the party in Hollywood, and now they're kind of honing
in on what is the establishment. Warner Brothers a movie
studio established in nineteen twenty three, one of the Big
five created during the Golden Age of Hollywood.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
We talked on Friday.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
With a CEO of the company that represents the Cinema,
Cinema United President, Michael O'Leary, and he kind of like
really told the diplomatic line. I was expecting a freak
out from old Hollywood, a freakout from the cinemas A
what the f does Netflix think it's doing?
Speaker 2 (09:50):
But they kind of have to go along to get along,
don't they.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Well they do because they knew that they know that
if this thing is approved they're dealing with a whole
new power struck sure in Hollywood. But and I'm surprised
that I didn't get to hear the interview, but I'm
surprised that you said that he kind of towed the
line because they're very concerned that the Netflix model of
you know, maybe you put use Frankenstein as an example,
(10:16):
maybe you put Frankenstein in the movie theaters for two
or three weeks, but that's only to get it Oscar eligible,
Awards eligible. But the rest of them just get you know,
uploaded to their streaming service. And if that's the model
going forward, then what we know of Hollywood over the
last one hundred years completely deteriorates quickly.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
So you were talking about Paramount wanting to get in
on this, is this something that shocked other distributors.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
I don't know, that is a good question.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Paramount has for since September basically been making these un
I don't know if i'd say unsolicited, but maybe unwanted
takeover bids. And as of this big announcement from Friday
that Netflix is going to drop eighty plus billion dollars
on Warner Brothers, Paramount came in and said, oh, how
(11:08):
about this, we'll up that we'll take over to the
tune of about one hundred and I think it's one
hundred and fifteen billion dollars all of it. So it
would be about thirty dollars per share what Paramount's offering.
That's in contrast to about twenty seven dollars a share
that Netflix is offering with cash and some stock. Netflix
(11:29):
would also only buy the streaming and the studio service.
Paramount wants to buy the entire company. So, I mean,
there are slightly different versions of what's going on, but
the idea that a massive, massive newcomer finger quotes like
(11:50):
Netflix would take over Warner Brothers is terrifying to a
lot of people.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
So Trump as a role in this, apparently his comments
from out raising doubts over this deal.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
And I have I have those comments that we can
play when we come back.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Excellent, we'll do that when we return.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Oh wait, we've been to Delilah that club, right, I mean, oh.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
My god, it's gonna be a thing.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Though somebody suggested that I was at the doctor and Gary,
welcome back.
Speaker 6 (12:21):
To be quite honest with you, on Thursday, when Shannon
said you looked a little clammy and something was going on.
I honestly thought you took Friday off to go to
the doctor to you know, have a check out for
your heart or something. So I'm glad you're doing okay,
thank you.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Not to give everyone that visual, but it would take
a lot, take a significant amount of blood loss.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from kf
I am six forty.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
The governor's race in California less than six months away.
How are things shaking out in the wake of the
Katie Porter monster videos?
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Monster videos?
Speaker 2 (13:10):
She seemed like a monster.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
The other issue I don't know if you saw over
the weekend was whether or not Gavin Newsom is physically
capable of having testicles. This story about him crossing his
legs the way he does.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
There's so much material there. There's so much meat on
that bone that's just so easy to pick off. It's
like you, you know, you've baked it at the perfect
temperature and just falls off the bone. And because it's
so easy, I don't want to touch it, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
We've been talking about the now Bidding War. It appears
for Warner Brothers Discovery. We know that Netflix had made
the announcement going into the weekend that they were going
to pay about eighty two billion dollars for the streaming
portions and studio of Warner Brothers, and then Paramount said,
wait a minute, Hold on a second. We've been doing
(14:03):
this for months now, and we decided that we're going
to offer thirty bucks basically per share, which would be
a little bit more in terms of the total amount
that would go towards Warner Brothers Discovery. David Ellison was
on CNBC, this is of course Paramount's guy, and explain
(14:23):
why they're doing this in the first place.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
David, why are you doing this?
Speaker 7 (14:27):
So look, we're really here to finish what we started.
Like just to kind of take you through the road
in terms of how we got here. On December first,
we made an offer to acquire Warner Brothers Discovery to
their board, had a conversation with David Zaslov. He came
back with a bunch of issues. We then on December fourth,
sent in a bid that addressed every single one of them,
that is superior to the bid that they signed up.
(14:49):
Our offer is thirty dollars a share, all cash, forty
one billion dollars in equity, that's backstopped by the Ellison
family in Redbird fifty four billion dollars in debt. With
commitments from City Bank of America and Apollo, we have
faster regulatory certainty to close. And our deal is pro consumer,
it's pro creative talent, it's it's pro competition.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Now.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Among other things, he says that if in fact, Paramount
is the one that takes over Warner Brothers, it kind
of keeps Hollywood in the same cycle that it's been
in for a few, well for several decades.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Now.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
There is concern though, Directors Guild of America, Producers Guild,
the Writers Guild, these major unions have all released statements
expressing concern if it's Netflix that takes over. Now you
mentioned this, President Trump was asked about all of this.
President Trump says he met with Ted Sarandos. Sarandos, one
of the co heads of Netflix, and likes him.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
He's a good guy, really great guy.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
But he made some comments towards the end you'll hear
them here that could cause some problems for a potential
Netflix takeover.
Speaker 8 (16:00):
May be allowed to buy Warner Brothers, should well, that's
a question. They have a very big market share, and
when they have Warner Brothers, you know that chair goes
up a lot. So I don't know that's going to
be here for some economists to tell it. Call so
and I'll be involved in that decision too. But it
is a big market share. There's no question, though there
could be a problem.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
And then he says there could that could be a problem.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
White House Economic Advisor Kevin Hassett went on CNBC Today,
So the Justice Department would examine the deal's impact for
quite a while. When I hear things like this, I think,
what are you going to do for me? You know, like,
how am I going to get something out of this deal?
If I'm Trump? How is this business deal going to
(16:43):
affect me?
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Donald J? Trump?
Speaker 1 (16:45):
How can I use my Justice Department to make this
benefit me either now.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Or down the line or my family down the line,
because otherwise, uh, I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
That's what I hear. And I would hear that from
any politician. If the mayor of la came out and said,
we'll have to take a look at this, to me,
that means how can I get a piece of this pie?
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Well, so there is a huh not that.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
The mayor of LA would have any jurisdiction. I understand that,
but I'm just trying to make the point that it
just seems to me like people are looking out for
Number One.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
There is an interesting aspect to this that does it
because right away, I don't know if there's any connection
between you know, it would just be Trump kind of
calling in favors from some of these very powerful Hollywood people.
Although although the private equity firm that's led by Dimple's Kushner,
(17:42):
Affinity Partners, is a part of the paramount deal, according
to the regulatory filing, the Affinity Partners is the is
the prime Well maybe Affinity Partners was not actually mentioned
in the press release that came out today, but they
are apparently part of the sovereign wealth monies that come
(18:07):
from Saudi Arabia and Abu Dhabi and caught her. We
know that Jared Kushner has been very active in terms
of Middle East investments, so there is the potential that
that may have kind of throw a wrinkle into it
and may be that sort of thread of connection to
the president financially, which obviously would raise some massive concerns
(18:30):
if he is in fact as involved as he claims
he's going to be when it comes to approval for
this offer, approval or disapproval. So that would be quite
that would be quite a deal if they were able
to connect all of them.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Forty six percent of gen Z plans to quit. How
to stop them is the headline to which I ask,
why are we stopping them.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
To want to quit?
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Leave?
Speaker 1 (18:57):
I mean, who benefits from somebody staying in a job
they don't want to be in. I've never had that
benefit of working atmosphere.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Yeah, that doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
If you came to work every day and you're like,
I hate this show, I don't want to do this show.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Got to do this show, I'd be like, then leave.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
I do think you need to work on your impression
of me.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Very No, that wasn't you. That was you if you
were a grumpy.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
Oh you're a grumpy If I was a grumpy yeah,
got it, okay.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Because that wouldn't be you at all, because you're not
like that at all. So that would that I was
trying to sound as much.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
Not like you as possible, trying to smile more and
find joy.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
That's you.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
That's what I like it.
Speaker 5 (19:45):

Speaker 4 (20:07):
Cold aside, I will say this, We had an absolute
great dinner on Saturday night?
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Oh where did you go?
Speaker 4 (20:14):
We just went to a little steakhouse in town Nice
and it's it was great. We actually found a nice
piece of meat. I did big old New York strip.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Did you taste it with the cold?
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (20:25):
Yeah, yeah, that was not a problem. And a good
old fashion. When you get somebody who makes a good
old fashion, it is really it's such a game change.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
It's something you want to savor, and.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
You should because if you don't, it'll knock you on
your ass.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Really.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
That is also that is also very true. Our waiter
had eight fingers and you got.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
To come with a story. Well you did ask.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Well, here's the thing. It was an obvious it's an
obvious eight. Well, it's hard to miss when you know
one puts.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
The bread was missing. Left hand yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
The first two fingers.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Uh so, which what is that the what do you
mean the first.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
Two next to the thumb, The first two fingers.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
So the ring finger and the index finger gone.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
No, no, the ring finger and the pinky. Uh yeah,
the ring finger and the pinky, we're the only ones left.
First finger and middle.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Finger were gone.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
So the middle finger and the index finger gone.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Yes, I guess that's the index finger. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
Yeah, And it was obviously you know, he comes and
puts bread on the table and you go, oh, why.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Did I immediately think it was a finger missing on
each hand When you said two fingers that Ali had
eight fingers.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
I immediately thought he lost one from both. That's weird thing.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Yeah, that's why I was like, you gotta find out,
you know, like it was one a chainsaw situation and
the other was just you know, a hammer.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
I don't know, but my wife said very clearly to
me before we leave, I will know the story of
those fingers.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
You're what, it's a special gift for your wife because
she likes physical ad moraleity, abnormalities.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
That's an interesting way to put it. I mean, look
at me. So so it did. We had a great conversation.
It was really fun.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
It was we said, there's a funny little quirk to
the table that we get because it's slightly above the
rest of the floor, so we call it our seat
of judgment.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
We laugh at people and because where that's who we are.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
What do you mean people say about you? I don't
care when you're judging.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
In that moment, I don't care. I was just having
a great time.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
But my wife did ask as we were leaving, Hey,
what's uh, what's the story with your fingers? She asked
it in a much more up front, straightforward tried not
to make it weird, and said, I'd love to know
what happened to your hand.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
I think that's how she said it, And.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
He was very He said, well, I was fifteen, sixteen
years old, and I got I was in a machine.
He didn't really get into the details of what the
machine was or what prop what the happen, what happened?
Speaker 3 (23:00):
But finger's gone.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
So a little young to be operating a machine.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Oh he was. He was probably seventy.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Right, Okay, so before there were regulations.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Osha got hold.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Well to make it less weird by highlighting a story
about myself when I met Ronnie Lot. Ronnie Lot famously
had his finger cut off rather than miss a playoff
game when he played for the forty nine ers.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Yeah, when I met Ronnie.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Lott, I said can I see your finger? And then
I said can I touch it? All very weird? It
sounds like it's not weird in the moment, it was
very weird. We were at an event.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
No, it sounds weird, trus it does.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Yes, he like pulled out his hand, like his hands
in his pocket.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
I was like, can I see your finger?
Speaker 1 (23:54):
He pulls out his hand like he's looking at me
like what the hell is this?
Speaker 5 (23:59):
What?
Speaker 1 (24:00):
And he just kind of holds up his hand And
then I went further and can I touch it?
Speaker 6 (24:04):
Like?
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Who says that?
Speaker 3 (24:05):
What a weirdo?
Speaker 2 (24:06):
What a freaking weirdo? That was like twenty years ago.
Speaker 4 (24:11):
You can hear it though, That's what's good. You can
hear No, you can hear that. You know that that's
a weird thing to do.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
I know that that was weird. So the waiter thing
was fine. Anything next to that story is just fine behavior.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Can I touch it? Get out of here? They did
that on Landman too, not the touching thing. What do
you mean I love Landman by the way.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Yeah, Billy Bob, he just cut off his finger because
he was like, I got no time for this and
cut his own finger off.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
That's right. Yeah, God, I love Landman.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
You know that's a I read an article about Landman
about how a ton of a show bridging bringing America together,
that it's kind of like a conservative show with some
sort of you know, Republican slash conservative values because you
got to put a label on everything now, right, but
that so many liberals love that show. It's got this
huge liberal audience.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Why.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
I don't know. I didn't finish reading because it's Billy Bob.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Because it's a good show, and it gives a crazy show.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Who cares what the politics are?
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Yeah, you shouldn't care if you're watching that show and
you're like, I don't know it's in Texas, I don't
know oil, I don't know what about the environment, Get
the hell out of here.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
It's very there's plenty of soap opera e storylines in
it to keep it appealing to people who don't everybody. Yeah,
you've been listening to the Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
You can always hear us live on KFI.
