Gary & Shannon open the hour with Governor Newsom’s new memoir, questioning who he’s trying to impress as they poke holes in the polished rollout. They also dissect his claim that his hair “caught fire” during the Palisades blaze — a story the video doesn’t seem to back up, fueling online ridicule.
They move on to a survey showing workers would rather get a root canal than attend their office holiday party, sparking their own tales of corporate-party dread. The pair also highlight the rise of all-inclusive adventure resorts before wrapping with a tribute to Phillip Rivers’ famously PG “cussing” and whether he’s really ready to rescue the Colts.

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. The story about the fired Michigan
head football coach, uh weird. It started off as kind
of a sports story why this happened, Then he found
out he got arrested, what's going on? And then when
(00:20):
you get into the details, it just seems like a
mental health, personal messy episode and you feel kind of
dirty getting into it.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
If I got the timing right, he gets fired and
that became a huge story because it's University of Michigan
and that I mean, he's basically the governor of the
state of Michigan for all intents and purposes. And then
they announced that they're looking for him, like law enforcement
is looking for this guy, which is it's something about
he had gone to the woman that he was accused
(00:48):
of having an affair with and threatened to kill himself.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
He was a staffer, and we're learning now that he
upped her salary by like one hundred percent. She was
making fifty eight thousand dollars a year and then this
season she's making one hundred thousand dollars Apparently, she claimed
he attacked her at the home after stalking her for months.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
It's just a mess.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
There were some threats, so I'm going to kill myself,
but I'm gonna kill you and the details are awful.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
A couple of things.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
When you are on Instagram at Gary and Shannon, you
can find before we have a chance to look for them.
You can find Sprinkles and Phonsie our elves on the
shelf somewhere.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Leave us clues for that. Yeah, what are you, Matt?
How does this work?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Are people going to look at the story and then
tell us where to look for the elves?
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Yeah, exactly if people check out the story at Gary
and Shannon and then they have any clues from that
story that they want to give you guys via talkbacks.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Okay, so let us know on the talk back.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
If you're listening on the iHeartRadio, tap that microphone and
let us know where we should look for the elves.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
So Amy King said that Shannon's wearing the cutest shoes
she's ever seen.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
By the way, that was my voice on Friday morning. Yeah,
that sounds painful.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Amy King said that Shannon's wearing the cutest shoes she's
ever scene. Yeah, and you guys haven't posted them on
social media yet. What we need to see the shoes.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Give me the shoes.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
So I'm really sick, So some cute shoes would be great.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Thanks that make you feel better. Okay, let's get them shoes.
Take a picture of the shoes.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Do you want somebody else to take a picture of
them shoes? Or is it going to be weird that
you're doing your own shoe pick? Oh, that's good with
the Christmas tree in the background.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
People pay for these types of picks.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Yeah, I was going to say, we might also want
to put a paywall up, just to generate a little
bit of extra scratch going into the holiday.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Val, I'm loving my feet. Do your feet feel fat?
My feet like a little fat? Guys. The microphone in there?
Why do you need the microphone in there? The camera
has ten pounds. We all know this.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Per footright, all right, we'll post that on social media, guys.
Gavin Newsom has a book. It's called young Man in
a Hurry, Get it for Valentine's Day.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
This this is not okay. Stop.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
He put out a video on Twitter promoting his book.
It starts with plinky piano music. It sounds vaguely familiar,
doesn't it. Yeah, it's that same, It's not the exact same,
but it's the same kind of music.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Curious, where do you go?
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Oh about.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
This?
Speaker 5 (03:28):
Yeah, this is not the book you'd expect me to write.
It's a story about the people that form well better
or worse, make us who we are, made me who
I am, the hopes that drive us for rich, figures
that send us reeling, and the immense burden of grief
and regret. Nobody's family is easy. Nobody's story is tidy,
and I'm no different. A lot of people look at me,
(03:50):
the stark white shirt, the blue suit, and yeah, the
gelled hair, and they think, oh, I know this guy.
I know this guy better than I'd ever want to
know him.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
I'd get it.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
This is a story of a kid who felt like
he wasn't quite enough. This is a truly vulnerable book.
It was incredibly hard, even painful to write.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Oh reals a.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
Story about living between two worlds, one of wealth and
privilege and the other a more modest, upbringing leader.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Okay, and when he talks about okay, I'll play a
little bit more.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Of it in a second.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Many times I know that guy well, and as I
grew up where you grew up, Like I know that guy,
the privileged guy from Rehn County.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
I know that guy. He listens to the show. He's
got to listen to the show.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Because we've both said that you can make this what
we have seen, and granted we have probably more exposure
to him than somebody from Nashville or somebody from Atlanta
or somebody from Cleveland or something. But they're going to
see him and they're going to make judgments about him
based on the limited information that they have, and it's
(04:54):
going to be the same conclusion that we have come
to with a lot more information, is that this guy hollow.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
I hope that they come to that conclusion. But there's
certain California things that you wouldn't know reading that book,
like when he says that he went to Santa Clara
on his baseball scholarship. He didn't have good grades and
he had a single mom and bulloney. You know, if
you're from that area, you write a check to get
your kid into Santa Clara. That's how people go to
(05:22):
Santa Clara. It's all about money. Everyone who played baseball
at Santa Clara says he didn't play base.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
He wasn't on that team. It wasn't his fastball.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
He wasn't this gifted athlete who couldn't read and write,
like the freaking Disney movie is trying to write in
this book, baloney. Your dad was a buddy of get
the Getty family. Yeah, maybe he didn't spend a lot
of time with you, but a lot of dads don't
spend time with their kids.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
You're not special.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
He wrote a check to get you in there, just
like you wrote a check to a lot of things
that afforded you a lot of opportunities.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
And you know what, and you know that's fine.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Yeah, you're writing the checks for your kids to go
to Branson. Fine, you want to spend eighty thousand dollars
a year on seventh grade. Cool, But don't pretend it's
not you. If you want to run for president, being
a privileged guy run for president. The country is sprinkled
with presidents who came from privilege. You'll just be another one,
and that's okay. But don't pretend you come from some
(06:20):
sort of hard scrabbled life in Marin County, going to
Santa Clara on the.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
Inside, the interloper who learned to feel comfortable in many rooms.
It's a story of the personas we create to face
the world around us, the story of self doubt and yes, ambition.
It's a story of the people, the relatives, the immediate
and ancestral, the neighbors, the childhood friends. Even the bullies
over time fade in the background of our memories.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Ancestral, he stood up to bullies.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
He stood up to bullies. It's okay that you're just
a boring white guy.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
By the way, everybody in this video is a white guy.
Oh everybody.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
And I mean it's it's like historic pictures. It's him
as a kid.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
It's him playing baseball, of course, because that's going to
be one of the main thing that was.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
His ticket out of the ghettos of Marine count the ghetto,
the ghetto paradoxes.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
They shape their upbringing, men are bound to shape their
children who will come after and.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
All of its messiness.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
It's heartbreak, then it's fundamental optimism about the power of
family and community. This is a story I hope a
lot of readers will connect with and relate to. Like
I said, it's definitely not the book you'd expect me
to write, and it's a book that I'm extraordinarily excited
to share.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Listen, I'll actually, Oh, I totally read that.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
I will, I will read this.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
I do want to point out his wife, also first partner, Jennifer,
wrote a tweet a couple of days ago celebrating the
fact that the book is coming out, and she wrote,
I'm so proud of Gavin for bringing this book into
the world. It's been years in the making, a real
labor of love that opens a window into his history
(08:00):
and the people who shaped him. I'm excited for everyone
to read Young Man in a hurry.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
However, it's it's fun watching or looking at old pictures
through his life, though the New York Posts put a
bunch of them in here. And like when he was
with Kimberly Guilfoyle, she was beautiful, like stunning. I just
hate all the things that she felt she needed to
do to her face, because what a beautiful girl.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
But he looks like every eighties Wall Street douchebag. It
looks portrayed in movies ever since then.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
And he is a stereotype for a reason. The stereotype
exists for a reason.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Did his hairketch on fire. That's the mystery we'll try
to solve when we come back.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
Wait, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from
KFI Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
This story about Philip Rivers, Grandpa Philip Rivers coming back
to the NFL is getting It's getting great. Boy went
through some of the sound bites from his news conference
from just the other day about signing with the Indianapolis Colts.
Signing back with the Indianapolis Colts because they're great quarterback
and their backup of both gone down to injury and
(09:10):
they're trying to scratching and clawing their way back into
the playoffs. So we'll talk about that coming up. Chargers
Chiefs will play Sunday morning. Rams host the Lions on
Sunday afternoon. By the way, the Colts, the aforementioned Colts,
are in Seattle on Sunday afternoon.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
If there is one defense in the Year of Our
Lord twenty twenty five, the season the NFL Season of
Our Lord twenty twenty five, that you do not want
to play coming back to the league after being missing
for five years and just turning forty four years old.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
It's Seattle.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
It would be the Seattle defense Seattle Denver, and it's
not just Seattle. Then the Colts play the Niners, they
play the Texans, which has arguably the best defensive front
in the league. Like it is a it is not
just Seattle, and then smooth sailing. It is going to
(10:02):
be a fight, a near death fight each week to
get into the playoffs for the Colts.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
The uh oh, let me get into a couple of
these before we get back into Gavin Newsome. Uh Hey,
you know, Gavin Newsom probably wanted to name his book
My Struggle, but then was advised against it.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
I get jokes.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
I don't get it my struggle mine comp Oh, I
don't get Hitler jokes.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Okay, here's a clue for the elves. They're not at
Gary's house. Huh all right, that's a good good morning
Gary and Shannahai. I'd say I'd look for the elves
and Marilyn Manson's basement because nobody goes there.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Interesting, is that a Hinge basement or is you're trying
to be funny?
Speaker 3 (10:50):
I can't tell where did you put those elves?
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Those?
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Yeah, maybe it's good time to grab a snack. Oh.
I was just in the kitchen and you didn't see it, Elves.
That is no.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
I saw a sign that said it was on the
table and poor penmanship.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
And it said peppermint shakes.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Peppermint shakes and the freezer fries in the fridge.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
That's been there for a couple of days. That's disgusting.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
It's number one, number two. I thought it may be
some sort of hint. Peppermint shakes and fries fonsie and
sprinkles like I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
No, that's been there for a couple Okay, so maybe
they're in the break room. That's a good that's a
good thought. The latest allegation of lying against Gavin Newsom
is that his hair caught on fire. This was an
interview he did on a podcast, The Sean Ryan Show,
talked about the day of the Palisades fire. He was
apparently on the ground in the Palisades at about two
(11:44):
o'clock that afternoon, which you know would have been three
four hours after the fire had started or now that
we know reignited, and the wind was just whipping through there.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
I was up there in the hills with these guys
and we all turned around when my hair literally burst
on there's a video of it, and they threw me
in the car.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
The guy hits my hair and throws me in the
cars out of here. Okay, okay, okay, okay, listen.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Didn't we all learn from Brian Williams not being in
the helicopter? Didn't we all learn that we shouldn't make
a crisis about ourselves, that it doesn't elevate.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
You, it doesn't make you a hero. Didn't we learn from.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Joe Biden's fire that burned down his house that was
really just a small fire in the kitchen, that we
don't need to make a bigger deal out of stories
that happened to us as politicians.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Right, Well, he did not learn that lesson, but I
will say this, he got railed for it online. Everybody
was like, oh, you don't think that we would find
out that the governor's hair caught.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
On where's the video?
Speaker 2 (12:47):
So the governor's office put out a video in response,
and it's a very shaky handheld camera. Looks like my
mom was recording prom or whatever. Nobody there which project
stuff kind of like that. Yeah, it's clear it's in
the palisades. It's full of smoke. You don't see any
flame in this shot and it is the governor and
(13:07):
a CalFire official standing there in the middle of the
street kind of figured out what's going on. The wind
is whipping and even his hair can't stand up to
the wind as fast as it was blown through the
palisades that afternoon. It does not show any hair catching
on fire, nor does it show any embers, etc. But
the guy who appears in the video with the governor
(13:30):
is Nick Schuler, a Cowfire deputy director, and he explained
we were only on that street for about four or
five minutes and there were embers that started to rain down,
strong winds began to push trash cans along the road,
and he said it was time to go. But he
did say it again. This is Nick Schuller, deputy director CalFire.
(13:51):
Embers began to cast down and I was talking with him.
One went into his hair. That's when I saw macked
it or I brushed it out of his hair. What
he said about his hair being about to catch fire
was accurate. Well, he didn't say it was about to
catch fire. He said it. He said it caught fire.
(14:12):
And then when my hair literally burst on there's like
it burst into flames. Now there are a couple of
half funny videos that people have made of his hair
bursting onto fire and him jumping into a limo real quick.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Just the making things up every turn, making things up.
Don't make things up. You'll be more human. That's what
you're lacking. If you listen to the show and you
heard us say repeatedly for years, I know that guy.
Just be yourself. It comes across when you are a
real human to people. People like real humans. It plays well.
(14:46):
Ignore all the AI attention.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Be a real dude.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
If you came from money, fine, We like people who
came from money sometimes. My first pettter, Your first pet
was an honor sir.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
From the projects. You know what? Your first pet isn't
an order?
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Your first pet is usually freakingroach, sort of vermin that
exists in your out of here.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
I had a bunny rabbit. You did you what? My
first pet was a bunny rabbit? What was the bunny
rabbit's name? Cho Chi?
Speaker 7 (15:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (15:19):
It means uh female parts in Spanish, like what part
like the beas cat part?
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Wow? Okay you asked, I don't know what you were expecting.
I don't know why you have a surprise on your face. Okay,
shame on you. I blame you. This is my fault.
This is my fault. Okay, well you've taught him. See
how you've taught him. You're gonna raise our children to
be like that? Oh my god. All right, let's uh.
I have a new vacation for you when you come back.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Okay, uh this is I think you and your husband
dig this a lot o cool. All inclusive adventure resorts
will explain it sounds expensive.
Speaker 6 (15:56):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KF.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
So I was heating up some soup there in the
break room and there was somebody in there said he, Shannon,
how are you?
Speaker 3 (16:08):
I said, oh, I'm good. How are you doing? He said,
oh good, he was getting some coffee.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Goes, it's just getting so crazy before the holiday party,
and I said yeah, I bet, oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
And he said, are you going to be up there?
The place is a buzz with excite. I said no,
I can't go. We're on the air. And he goes,
oh that's right.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
He said, well, we'll save you some food. Like I'm oliver,
you know the orphanage. Maybe maybe get together a half
a bowl or something to bring us down.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
I'm going to read to you a study.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
This this pole really shouldn't surprise you, Okay. National research
conducted by Census Wide on behalf of a social connection
nonprofit called Sonny found that which percentage of full time
US employees would prefer getting a root canal to attending
their office holiday party. Which page of full time US employees.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
I have a problem with this because, as somebody who's
had numerous root canals, you think you know what it is,
and it's awful.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
I mean, it can be awful. They're all different.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Some of them are painless, some of them you're in
the chair for five hours with your mouth.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
It's a situation.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Root canal, commiseration with a friend just the other day.
It can be awful, awful.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
So I would say, most people don't know what the
hell they're talking about, so I'll do something like thirty
three percent say they'd rather have a root canal.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Twenty seven percent, yeah, pretty close. Thirty three did say
they'd go to the dentist for any reason other than
going to their holiday party.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
And I love my dentist, but I am man.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Forty percent said they would rather endure a dental visit
than socialize after hours with their boss.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
That's funny.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
We also got an email. We've joked about this. They
plan these parties during our show. We can't go. But
there was another email that came out this morning. Yesterday's
was like, hey, don't forget to sign up for Oh
we got to check the karaoke list. Don't forget to
sign up for karaoke on this exil spreadsheet.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
And it's gonna be fun, it's gonna be games. And
what people signed up. I'll have to do that.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
And I practice islands in the stream all night and
this morning and and I'm.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Not allowed back.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
But there was another email this morning that said, don't
touch anything in where the party is gonna be able.
Don't touch anything until the party starts, Like you can't
go in there and I don't know hoard the whatever
drinks or balloons or I don't know what's up there anything.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
That's like your mother saying, don't touch the table before
everyone gets there for Christmas.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Don't touch anything. That's funny.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
There is a new version of vacation. When you think
of vacation, can't coun Hawaii someplace tropical for a lot
of people, not for everybody sitting on your butt, beach,
sand toes, beer.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
I like to do something, spritzer whatever, especially.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
When I quit drinking, Like I like to do something
because I used to just sit and drink all day,
which is delightful and be fine.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
But like now it's like, well what okay. Now.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
There is a place called Cla Claya Caught Wilderness Lodge
up in Canada in the back country, and this woman,
Chris Levinson, wanted to find a way to have adventures.
Do what you're talking about, do something during vacation, but
(19:32):
have it low key.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
You're not.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Vacationing in Paris to do the marathon or something like that.
And in this case, they said at the Claya Caught
Wilderness Lodge, she and her spouse and two kids bonded
over a river plunge on one of their canyoneering excursions
super hiking. I suppose they munched on bliss balls, which
(19:56):
is a snack that they made from oats, honey and dates.
They enjoyed mountain biking, they enjoyed hiking along the fjords
of Vancouver Island.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Sounds beautiful except for the bliss balls. It sounds awful.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
There The ranch in Ranch at Rock Creek in Montana.
This is actually a place I've looked into. Yeah, because
my wife and I talked about one of the things
that we would love to do is one of those
dude ranch kind of vacations.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Not all work, but it would be.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Great to be able to There's something to be said
about riding the horse, getting out there, doing the work
that's supposed to be done, and then having a gourmy
meal afterwards.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Yeah. I mean, some of those sound great.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
And if you're going to a place like Montana, the
scenery is one thousand percent better than whatever you're gonna
find here. And Jim Manley is the owner of that
ranch at Rock Creek, and he said he has been
obsessed with cowboy movies in wild West and he wanted
to find a property where he could help others do
that same explore that same fascination with this culture.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
It's like fantasy camp, but a West for Western totally. Yeah,
that's exactly what it is. And he says it's fully inclusive.
They've paid for everything. There's forty activities that they can do,
there's they go nuts. And he said the amount of
men and men and women in their fifties and sixties.
The go nuts over something like paintball is unbelievable. It
will cost you.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Yeah, it sounds expensive.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
At ranch at Rock Creek in Montana, the rates start
at twenty three hundred dollars a night.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
So I got my husband one of these. I hope
he's not listening, but I'll just say I, honey, turn
off the radio.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Yeah, honey, turn off the radio.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
I got my husband in an adventure something for Christmas,
and we're basically staying in a serial killer cabin for
sixty five dollars a night. And they just basically provide
the cat been and you go in there. You got
to bring in your own stuff. There's no food or
anything like. Literally, people probably have been candling. I'm not
(22:08):
paying thirty two hundred dollars a night twenty three, I
mean twenty for anything. There's no heating where I've I've
I've bought his present at a place. It's in a
park somewhere. There's only a scarce amount of cabins on
this property.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
And it's you should have checked this with somebody, pretty
d ementry, but it's cheap.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Usually you run a couple ideas by me and I
help kind of steer you in the right direct.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
It's true, true, it's true. I usually done with this.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Yeah, but I mean where else can you stay for
sixty five dollars a night these days?
Speaker 3 (22:41):
I think I got a bargain.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Motel six and Glenda, No way, that's like at least eighty.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Of what you're doing well.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
I mean, if you've got a ballgag in an outfit
and a you know, kilo of cocaine, where.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Are you going to keep that?
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Costa Rica has one, Well, Bob, Costa Rica as one
called the Pauare Lodge. It's so remote that you either
have to arrive via whitewater raft, helicopter or four wheel drugs.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
White lotus stuffy. How much is that one that one
doesn't have a price on?
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Yeah, exactly, Danali Backcountry Lodge in Alaska. You get there
by helicopter. Oh so cool, mountain bike trails off rugged.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Oh that sounds I want to do Dannale, and I
want to do it like that, Like I want to
throw a bunch of money at that trip and do
the stuff, do all the things. Because you're in Alaska,
you're probably not going to be back there. You want
to do it while you still can kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Well, you can still move right, Well, a lady of
sixties in her sixties, right.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Sixty seven sixty seven.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
You're reaching that, you're reaching that end of the envelope there, lady.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
I saw in my People magazine, this is what six
sevens do? I saw an article. You know the woman
who did you know? The comic strip Kathy was in
the papers forever. She started that in nineteen seventy eight.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Act didn't she say? Act?
Speaker 6 (24:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (24:03):
It ran to twenty ten and she was when she started.
I always thought it was like a middle aged woman.
I thought this woman was long dead. The woman who
drew authored Kathy is seventy eight years old, and I
meant to bring you in the picture.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
She looks forty five. Wow. When I saw her picture.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
And it was an article about her and her life
and her comic strip and how it got started, and
I go, this woman, this must be the daughter of
the woman or the granddaughter, because Kathy was around like
in the eighties. And it turns out she started when
she was twenty six, and she just looks incredible, and
she just did the article and it was kind of fun.
(24:43):
When you go back and you read some of those
old Kathy comic strips. It's women and women in the
workplace and how that's evolved in all the things that
still ring true for women in the workplace that rang
true in the early eighties and things like that.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
But it's just there's hope for you. There's what that's
your takeaway? Yeah, okay, Philip rivers when we come back,
it sounds great.
Speaker 6 (25:07):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI.
A M six forty.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Full adventure that took place before we found the guys.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
There was an adventure.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
We went looking for the elves, and we were looking
for the elves and things got broken, and things got well,
I hid the evidence. You tried to probably hide it
better awful at well, we were coming back from a break.
I'll hide the evidence better, but I may have. But like, honestly,
(25:40):
who's gonna who am I going to.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Get in trouble with? That's also great? Who's going to
call me out on that? And everybody's really distracted. Everyone's distrained.
Everyone's at the stupid party. Uh.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
The Indianapolis Colts have introduced their their newest signee.
Speaker 6 (25:54):
Right, no, no, no, zoom.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Let's go because the last time the Philip Rivers was
throwing NFL footballs.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
It was a twenty twenty season, so it was all
his last crap game.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
When I believe he led the Colts to a playoff
game was January twenty twenty one.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Yeah, awful, awful, awful.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Philip Rivers, a longtime Chargers quarterback, of course, went to
play with the Colts towards the end of the and
then if I didn't, he re sign with the Chargers
like a one day contract ceremonis a Charger.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Yeah, now there's something there, There's something to be said.
The last season is very important for a professional athlete
when they want one more season. He wanted one more season.
He went to Indianapolis because they got Justin Herbert and
all the bit all the things happened, but all the
things his last season was the COVID season.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
That's not a last season. Doesn't feel right, that's not
a last season. That sucks.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
So he's a funny. He's a great, funny, funny guy,
great sense of humor.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Easily my my most favorite athlete I have ever interviewed.
He's gracious, he's respectful, he's brilliant. He loves football more
than every fan loves football. It's what you want to
hear from your quarterback. He will play injured through a
torn acl he late leaves it all out there. You
can bring him around your children.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
The videos of him miked up on the field, whether
he's on the sidelines, John, it's somebody on the ultimate yesterday?
Was it yesterday? They gave the news conference the day before.
Somebody asked him how much he weighs?
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Yeah, because he looks as big as a house. Buffy,
what does you're playing right now, right this second.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Everybody knows. It's funny.
Speaker 5 (27:43):
How about that?
Speaker 7 (27:43):
That's an honest answer. And I will answer a question
a little better on the plane away Greg and not
not what it was when.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
I walked up the film Muffalo.
Speaker 7 (27:51):
All right, I can tell you that. But but then
I'll follow that up with I ain't never ran away
from anybody anyway.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
I love that. By the way, we mentioned this, he
doesn't swear. No, he does not swear.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
He's in a field where men are trying to kill him,
and he does not swear. I did find a video
composite of miked up moments of him swearing. This is
as this is as spicy as Philip River gets.
Speaker 7 (28:21):
Oh honey, oh oh baby, oh oh oh suit, Oh
my gosh, suit, your maces stew out amazing.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
It aggravates the stew out of me. Yeah, yeah, no,
it's great.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
And even the watch probably was like, I'm sorry if
that if you heard.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
He gets so creative with his non swearing. But the
fact of the matter is he's coming in. Cam Newton
said it was like a slap in the face by
the way that they didn't call cam Newton at thirty
six years old.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
They go for Philip Rivers.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Philip Rivers has never stopped talking to the head coach
for the Indianapolis Colts, Shane Steikeen, who is one of
his closest friends, was a quarterbacks coach with the then
San Diego Chargers when they first began their relationship and
have been friends ever since. In fact, Philip Rivers ran
the same offense Shane steiken ran for the Colts with
his son's high school team that led them to the championship.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
Inside out. Yeah, he knows it inside out. He's been
running it all year.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
He's talked with Shane steike In throughout the season about
what works in the offense. What doesn't adjustments to make
I mean, he's dialed into that program. Is his body
dialed into taking a hit from that Seattle d That
is going to be the question. I mean, we'll find
out more today. Thursday's the day when you find out
(29:43):
a lot about what went on at practice and what
you can expect for the weekend ahead.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
If he's if he's playing, that's must watch television.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Oh my god. Sunday Afternoon Culture in Seattle one.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
I think it's one twenty five is officially the I mean,
if I I know what I want to, I mean,
I'm I've planned it, I've thought about this.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
If I have stuff to do, I'm going to be
doing it on.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
Saturday so that I have a Sunday afternoon free all right.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Coming up next, we will get into swamp watch, affordability
and the crisis, a lot of finger pointing. Looks like
Trump and Biden both to blame for this one, and
the business community what is their role and all the
price gouging.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
It's all next on Gary and Shannon. You've been listening
to the Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
You can always hear us live on KFI AM six
forty nine am. To one pm every Monday through Friday,
and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio 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. The story about the fired Michigan
head football coach, uh weird. It started off as kind
of a sports story why this happened, Then he found
out he got arrested, what's going on? And then when
(00:20):
you get into the details, it just seems like a
mental health, personal messy episode and you feel kind of
dirty getting into it.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
If I got the timing right, he gets fired and
that became a huge story because it's University of Michigan
and that I mean, he's basically the governor of the
state of Michigan for all intents and purposes. And then
they announced that they're looking for him, like law enforcement
is looking for this guy, which is it's something about
he had gone to the woman that he was accused
(00:48):
of having an affair with and threatened to kill himself.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
He was a staffer, and we're learning now that he
upped her salary by like one hundred percent. She was
making fifty eight thousand dollars a year and then this
season she's making one hundred thousand dollars Apparently, she claimed
he attacked her at the home after stalking her for months.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
It's just a mess.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
There were some threats, so I'm going to kill myself,
but I'm gonna kill you and the details are awful.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
A couple of things.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
When you are on Instagram at Gary and Shannon, you
can find before we have a chance to look for them.
You can find Sprinkles and Phonsie our elves on the
shelf somewhere.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Leave us clues for that. Yeah, what are you, Matt?
How does this work?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Are people going to look at the story and then
tell us where to look for the elves?
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Yeah, exactly if people check out the story at Gary
and Shannon and then they have any clues from that
story that they want to give you guys via talkbacks.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Okay, so let us know on the talk back.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
If you're listening on the iHeartRadio, tap that microphone and
let us know where we should look for the elves.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
So Amy King said that Shannon's wearing the cutest shoes
she's ever seen.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
By the way, that was my voice on Friday morning. Yeah,
that sounds painful.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Amy King said that Shannon's wearing the cutest shoes she's
ever scene. Yeah, and you guys haven't posted them on
social media yet. What we need to see the shoes.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Give me the shoes.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
So I'm really sick, So some cute shoes would be great.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Thanks that make you feel better. Okay, let's get them shoes.
Take a picture of the shoes.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Do you want somebody else to take a picture of
them shoes? Or is it going to be weird that
you're doing your own shoe pick? Oh, that's good with
the Christmas tree in the background.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
People pay for these types of picks.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Yeah, I was going to say, we might also want
to put a paywall up, just to generate a little
bit of extra scratch going into the holiday.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Val, I'm loving my feet. Do your feet feel fat?
My feet like a little fat? Guys. The microphone in there?
Why do you need the microphone in there? The camera
has ten pounds. We all know this.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Per footright, all right, we'll post that on social media, guys.
Gavin Newsom has a book. It's called young Man in
a Hurry, Get it for Valentine's Day.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
This this is not okay. Stop.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
He put out a video on Twitter promoting his book.
It starts with plinky piano music. It sounds vaguely familiar,
doesn't it. Yeah, it's that same, It's not the exact same,
but it's the same kind of music.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Curious, where do you go?
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Oh about.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
This?
Speaker 5 (03:28):
Yeah, this is not the book you'd expect me to write.
It's a story about the people that form well better
or worse, make us who we are, made me who
I am, the hopes that drive us for rich, figures
that send us reeling, and the immense burden of grief
and regret. Nobody's family is easy. Nobody's story is tidy,
and I'm no different. A lot of people look at me,
(03:50):
the stark white shirt, the blue suit, and yeah, the
gelled hair, and they think, oh, I know this guy.
I know this guy better than I'd ever want to
know him.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
I'd get it.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
This is a story of a kid who felt like
he wasn't quite enough. This is a truly vulnerable book.
It was incredibly hard, even painful to write.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Oh reals a.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
Story about living between two worlds, one of wealth and
privilege and the other a more modest, upbringing leader.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Okay, and when he talks about okay, I'll play a
little bit more.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Of it in a second.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Many times I know that guy well, and as I
grew up where you grew up, Like I know that guy,
the privileged guy from Rehn County.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
I know that guy. He listens to the show. He's
got to listen to the show.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Because we've both said that you can make this what
we have seen, and granted we have probably more exposure
to him than somebody from Nashville or somebody from Atlanta
or somebody from Cleveland or something. But they're going to
see him and they're going to make judgments about him
based on the limited information that they have, and it's
(04:54):
going to be the same conclusion that we have come
to with a lot more information, is that this guy hollow.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
I hope that they come to that conclusion. But there's
certain California things that you wouldn't know reading that book,
like when he says that he went to Santa Clara
on his baseball scholarship. He didn't have good grades and
he had a single mom and bulloney. You know, if
you're from that area, you write a check to get
your kid into Santa Clara. That's how people go to
(05:22):
Santa Clara. It's all about money. Everyone who played baseball
at Santa Clara says he didn't play base.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
He wasn't on that team. It wasn't his fastball.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
He wasn't this gifted athlete who couldn't read and write,
like the freaking Disney movie is trying to write in
this book, baloney. Your dad was a buddy of get
the Getty family. Yeah, maybe he didn't spend a lot
of time with you, but a lot of dads don't
spend time with their kids.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
You're not special.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
He wrote a check to get you in there, just
like you wrote a check to a lot of things
that afforded you a lot of opportunities.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
And you know what, and you know that's fine.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Yeah, you're writing the checks for your kids to go
to Branson. Fine, you want to spend eighty thousand dollars
a year on seventh grade. Cool, But don't pretend it's
not you. If you want to run for president, being
a privileged guy run for president. The country is sprinkled
with presidents who came from privilege. You'll just be another one,
and that's okay. But don't pretend you come from some
(06:20):
sort of hard scrabbled life in Marin County, going to
Santa Clara on the.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
Inside, the interloper who learned to feel comfortable in many rooms.
It's a story of the personas we create to face
the world around us, the story of self doubt and yes, ambition.
It's a story of the people, the relatives, the immediate
and ancestral, the neighbors, the childhood friends. Even the bullies
over time fade in the background of our memories.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Ancestral, he stood up to bullies.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
He stood up to bullies. It's okay that you're just
a boring white guy.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
By the way, everybody in this video is a white guy.
Oh everybody.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
And I mean it's it's like historic pictures. It's him
as a kid.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
It's him playing baseball, of course, because that's going to
be one of the main thing that was.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
His ticket out of the ghettos of Marine count the ghetto,
the ghetto paradoxes.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
They shape their upbringing, men are bound to shape their
children who will come after and.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
All of its messiness.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
It's heartbreak, then it's fundamental optimism about the power of
family and community. This is a story I hope a
lot of readers will connect with and relate to. Like
I said, it's definitely not the book you'd expect me
to write, and it's a book that I'm extraordinarily excited
to share.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Listen, I'll actually, Oh, I totally read that.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
I will, I will read this.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
I do want to point out his wife, also first partner, Jennifer,
wrote a tweet a couple of days ago celebrating the
fact that the book is coming out, and she wrote,
I'm so proud of Gavin for bringing this book into
the world. It's been years in the making, a real
labor of love that opens a window into his history
(08:00):
and the people who shaped him. I'm excited for everyone
to read Young Man in a hurry.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
However, it's it's fun watching or looking at old pictures
through his life, though the New York Posts put a
bunch of them in here. And like when he was
with Kimberly Guilfoyle, she was beautiful, like stunning. I just
hate all the things that she felt she needed to
do to her face, because what a beautiful girl.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
But he looks like every eighties Wall Street douchebag. It
looks portrayed in movies ever since then.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
And he is a stereotype for a reason. The stereotype
exists for a reason.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Did his hairketch on fire. That's the mystery we'll try
to solve when we come back.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
Wait, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from
KFI Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
This story about Philip Rivers, Grandpa Philip Rivers coming back
to the NFL is getting It's getting great. Boy went
through some of the sound bites from his news conference
from just the other day about signing with the Indianapolis Colts.
Signing back with the Indianapolis Colts because they're great quarterback
and their backup of both gone down to injury and
(09:10):
they're trying to scratching and clawing their way back into
the playoffs. So we'll talk about that coming up. Chargers
Chiefs will play Sunday morning. Rams host the Lions on
Sunday afternoon. By the way, the Colts, the aforementioned Colts,
are in Seattle on Sunday afternoon.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
If there is one defense in the Year of Our
Lord twenty twenty five, the season the NFL Season of
Our Lord twenty twenty five, that you do not want
to play coming back to the league after being missing
for five years and just turning forty four years old.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
It's Seattle.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
It would be the Seattle defense Seattle Denver, and it's
not just Seattle. Then the Colts play the Niners, they
play the Texans, which has arguably the best defensive front
in the league. Like it is a it is not
just Seattle, and then smooth sailing. It is going to
(10:02):
be a fight, a near death fight each week to
get into the playoffs for the Colts.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
The uh oh, let me get into a couple of
these before we get back into Gavin Newsome. Uh Hey,
you know, Gavin Newsom probably wanted to name his book
My Struggle, but then was advised against it.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
I get jokes.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
I don't get it my struggle mine comp Oh, I
don't get Hitler jokes.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Okay, here's a clue for the elves. They're not at
Gary's house. Huh all right, that's a good good morning
Gary and Shannahai. I'd say I'd look for the elves
and Marilyn Manson's basement because nobody goes there.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Interesting, is that a Hinge basement or is you're trying
to be funny?
Speaker 3 (10:50):
I can't tell where did you put those elves?
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Those?
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Yeah, maybe it's good time to grab a snack. Oh.
I was just in the kitchen and you didn't see it, Elves.
That is no.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
I saw a sign that said it was on the
table and poor penmanship.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
And it said peppermint shakes.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Peppermint shakes and the freezer fries in the fridge.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
That's been there for a couple of days. That's disgusting.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
It's number one, number two. I thought it may be
some sort of hint. Peppermint shakes and fries fonsie and
sprinkles like I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
No, that's been there for a couple Okay, so maybe
they're in the break room. That's a good that's a
good thought. The latest allegation of lying against Gavin Newsom
is that his hair caught on fire. This was an
interview he did on a podcast, The Sean Ryan Show,
talked about the day of the Palisades fire. He was
apparently on the ground in the Palisades at about two
(11:44):
o'clock that afternoon, which you know would have been three
four hours after the fire had started or now that
we know reignited, and the wind was just whipping through there.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
I was up there in the hills with these guys
and we all turned around when my hair literally burst
on there's a video of it, and they threw me
in the car.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
The guy hits my hair and throws me in the
cars out of here. Okay, okay, okay, okay, listen.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Didn't we all learn from Brian Williams not being in
the helicopter? Didn't we all learn that we shouldn't make
a crisis about ourselves, that it doesn't elevate.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
You, it doesn't make you a hero. Didn't we learn from.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Joe Biden's fire that burned down his house that was
really just a small fire in the kitchen, that we
don't need to make a bigger deal out of stories
that happened to us as politicians.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Right, Well, he did not learn that lesson, but I
will say this, he got railed for it online. Everybody
was like, oh, you don't think that we would find
out that the governor's hair caught.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
On where's the video?
Speaker 2 (12:47):
So the governor's office put out a video in response,
and it's a very shaky handheld camera. Looks like my
mom was recording prom or whatever. Nobody there which project
stuff kind of like that. Yeah, it's clear it's in
the palisades. It's full of smoke. You don't see any
flame in this shot and it is the governor and
(13:07):
a CalFire official standing there in the middle of the
street kind of figured out what's going on. The wind
is whipping and even his hair can't stand up to
the wind as fast as it was blown through the
palisades that afternoon. It does not show any hair catching
on fire, nor does it show any embers, etc. But
the guy who appears in the video with the governor
(13:30):
is Nick Schuler, a Cowfire deputy director, and he explained
we were only on that street for about four or
five minutes and there were embers that started to rain down,
strong winds began to push trash cans along the road,
and he said it was time to go. But he
did say it again. This is Nick Schuller, deputy director CalFire.
(13:51):
Embers began to cast down and I was talking with him.
One went into his hair. That's when I saw macked
it or I brushed it out of his hair. What
he said about his hair being about to catch fire
was accurate. Well, he didn't say it was about to
catch fire. He said it. He said it caught fire.
(14:12):
And then when my hair literally burst on there's like
it burst into flames. Now there are a couple of
half funny videos that people have made of his hair
bursting onto fire and him jumping into a limo real quick.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Just the making things up every turn, making things up.
Don't make things up. You'll be more human. That's what
you're lacking. If you listen to the show and you
heard us say repeatedly for years, I know that guy.
Just be yourself. It comes across when you are a
real human to people. People like real humans. It plays well.
(14:46):
Ignore all the AI attention.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Be a real dude.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
If you came from money, fine, We like people who
came from money sometimes. My first pettter, Your first pet
was an honor sir.

From the projects. You know what? Your first pet isn't

Speaker 2 (15:04):
Your first pet is usually freakingroach, sort of vermin that
exists in your out of here.
Speaker 3 (15:10):

Speaker 7 (15:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (15:27):
Wow? Okay you asked, I don't know what you were expecting.
I don't know why you have a surprise on your face. Okay,

This is my fault. Okay, well you've taught him. See
how you've taught him. You're gonna raise our children to
be like that? Oh my god. All right, let's uh.
I have a new vacation for you when you come back.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Okay, uh this is I think you and your husband
dig this a lot o cool. All inclusive adventure resorts
will explain it sounds expensive.
Speaker 6 (15:56):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KF.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
So I was heating up some soup there in the
break room and there was somebody in there said he, Shannon,
how are you?
Speaker 3 (16:08):
I said, oh, I'm good. How are you doing? He said,
oh good, he was getting some coffee.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Goes, it's just getting so crazy before the holiday party,
and I said yeah, I bet, oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
And he said, are you going to be up there?
The place is a buzz with excite. I said no,
I can't go. We're on the air. And he goes,
oh that's right.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
He said, well, we'll save you some food. Like I'm oliver,
you know the orphanage. Maybe maybe get together a half
a bowl or something to bring us down.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
I'm going to read to you a study.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
This this pole really shouldn't surprise you, Okay. National research
conducted by Census Wide on behalf of a social connection
nonprofit called Sonny found that which percentage of full time
US employees would prefer getting a root canal to attending
their office holiday party. Which page of full time US employees.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
I have a problem with this because, as somebody who's
had numerous root canals, you think you know what it is,
and it's awful.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
I mean, it can be awful. They're all different.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Some of them are painless, some of them you're in
the chair for five hours with your mouth.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
It's a situation.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Root canal, commiseration with a friend just the other day.
It can be awful, awful.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
So I would say, most people don't know what the
hell they're talking about, so I'll do something like thirty
three percent say they'd rather have a root canal.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Twenty seven percent, yeah, pretty close. Thirty three did say
they'd go to the dentist for any reason other than
going to their holiday party.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
And I love my dentist, but I am man.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Forty percent said they would rather endure a dental visit
than socialize after hours with their boss.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
That's funny.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
We also got an email. We've joked about this. They
plan these parties during our show. We can't go. But
there was another email that came out this morning. Yesterday's
was like, hey, don't forget to sign up for Oh
we got to check the karaoke list. Don't forget to
sign up for karaoke on this exil spreadsheet.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
And it's gonna be fun, it's gonna be games. And
what people signed up. I'll have to do that.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
And I practice islands in the stream all night and
this morning and and I'm.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Not allowed back.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
But there was another email this morning that said, don't
touch anything in where the party is gonna be able.
Don't touch anything until the party starts, Like you can't
go in there and I don't know hoard the whatever
drinks or balloons or I don't know what's up there anything.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
That's like your mother saying, don't touch the table before
everyone gets there for Christmas.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Don't touch anything. That's funny.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
There is a new version of vacation. When you think
of vacation, can't coun Hawaii someplace tropical for a lot
of people, not for everybody sitting on your butt, beach,
sand toes, beer.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
I like to do something, spritzer whatever, especially.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
When I quit drinking, Like I like to do something
because I used to just sit and drink all day,
which is delightful and be fine.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
But like now it's like, well what okay. Now.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
There is a place called Cla Claya Caught Wilderness Lodge
up in Canada in the back country, and this woman,
Chris Levinson, wanted to find a way to have adventures.
Do what you're talking about, do something during vacation, but
(19:32):
have it low key.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
You're not.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Vacationing in Paris to do the marathon or something like that.
And in this case, they said at the Claya Caught
Wilderness Lodge, she and her spouse and two kids bonded
over a river plunge on one of their canyoneering excursions
super hiking. I suppose they munched on bliss balls, which
(19:56):
is a snack that they made from oats, honey and dates.
They enjoyed mountain biking, they enjoyed hiking along the fjords
of Vancouver Island.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Sounds beautiful except for the bliss balls. It sounds awful.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
There The ranch in Ranch at Rock Creek in Montana.
This is actually a place I've looked into. Yeah, because
my wife and I talked about one of the things
that we would love to do is one of those
dude ranch kind of vacations.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Not all work, but it would be.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Great to be able to There's something to be said
about riding the horse, getting out there, doing the work
that's supposed to be done, and then having a gourmy
meal afterwards.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Yeah. I mean, some of those sound great.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
And if you're going to a place like Montana, the
scenery is one thousand percent better than whatever you're gonna
find here. And Jim Manley is the owner of that
ranch at Rock Creek, and he said he has been
obsessed with cowboy movies in wild West and he wanted
to find a property where he could help others do
that same explore that same fascination with this culture.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
It's like fantasy camp, but a West for Western totally. Yeah,
that's exactly what it is. And he says it's fully inclusive.
They've paid for everything. There's forty activities that they can do,
there's they go nuts. And he said the amount of
men and men and women in their fifties and sixties.
The go nuts over something like paintball is unbelievable. It
will cost you.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Yeah, it sounds expensive.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
At ranch at Rock Creek in Montana, the rates start
at twenty three hundred dollars a night.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
So I got my husband one of these. I hope
he's not listening, but I'll just say I, honey, turn
off the radio.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Yeah, honey, turn off the radio.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
I got my husband in an adventure something for Christmas,
and we're basically staying in a serial killer cabin for
sixty five dollars a night. And they just basically provide
the cat been and you go in there. You got
to bring in your own stuff. There's no food or
anything like. Literally, people probably have been candling. I'm not
(22:08):
paying thirty two hundred dollars a night twenty three, I
mean twenty for anything. There's no heating where I've I've
I've bought his present at a place. It's in a
park somewhere. There's only a scarce amount of cabins on
this property.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
And it's you should have checked this with somebody, pretty
d ementry, but it's cheap.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Usually you run a couple ideas by me and I
help kind of steer you in the right direct.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
It's true, true, it's true. I usually done with this.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Yeah, but I mean where else can you stay for
sixty five dollars a night these days?
Speaker 3 (22:41):
I think I got a bargain.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Motel six and Glenda, No way, that's like at least eighty.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Of what you're doing well.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
I mean, if you've got a ballgag in an outfit
and a you know, kilo of cocaine, where.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Are you going to keep that?
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Costa Rica has one, Well, Bob, Costa Rica as one
called the Pauare Lodge. It's so remote that you either
have to arrive via whitewater raft, helicopter or four wheel drugs.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
White lotus stuffy. How much is that one that one
doesn't have a price on?
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Yeah, exactly, Danali Backcountry Lodge in Alaska. You get there
by helicopter. Oh so cool, mountain bike trails off rugged.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Oh that sounds I want to do Dannale, and I
want to do it like that, Like I want to
throw a bunch of money at that trip and do
the stuff, do all the things. Because you're in Alaska,
you're probably not going to be back there. You want
to do it while you still can kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Well, you can still move right, Well, a lady of
sixties in her sixties, right.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Sixty seven sixty seven.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
You're reaching that, you're reaching that end of the envelope there, lady.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
I saw in my People magazine, this is what six
sevens do? I saw an article. You know the woman
who did you know? The comic strip Kathy was in
the papers forever. She started that in nineteen seventy eight.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Act didn't she say? Act?
Speaker 6 (24:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (24:03):
It ran to twenty ten and she was when she started.
I always thought it was like a middle aged woman.
I thought this woman was long dead. The woman who
drew authored Kathy is seventy eight years old, and I
meant to bring you in the picture.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
She looks forty five. Wow. When I saw her picture.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
And it was an article about her and her life
and her comic strip and how it got started, and
I go, this woman, this must be the daughter of
the woman or the granddaughter, because Kathy was around like
in the eighties. And it turns out she started when
she was twenty six, and she just looks incredible, and
she just did the article and it was kind of fun.
(24:43):
When you go back and you read some of those
old Kathy comic strips. It's women and women in the
workplace and how that's evolved in all the things that
still ring true for women in the workplace that rang
true in the early eighties and things like that.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
But it's just there's hope for you. There's what that's
your takeaway? Yeah, okay, Philip rivers when we come back,
it sounds great.
Speaker 6 (25:07):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI.
A M six forty.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Full adventure that took place before we found the guys.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
There was an adventure.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
We went looking for the elves, and we were looking
for the elves and things got broken, and things got well,
I hid the evidence. You tried to probably hide it
better awful at well, we were coming back from a break.
I'll hide the evidence better, but I may have. But like, honestly,
(25:40):
who's gonna who am I going to.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Get in trouble with? That's also great? Who's going to
call me out on that? And everybody's really distracted. Everyone's distrained.
Everyone's at the stupid party. Uh.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
The Indianapolis Colts have introduced their their newest signee.
Speaker 6 (25:54):
Right, no, no, no, zoom.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Let's go because the last time the Philip Rivers was
throwing NFL footballs.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
It was a twenty twenty season, so it was all
his last crap game.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
When I believe he led the Colts to a playoff
game was January twenty twenty one.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Yeah, awful, awful, awful.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Philip Rivers, a longtime Chargers quarterback, of course, went to
play with the Colts towards the end of the and
then if I didn't, he re sign with the Chargers
like a one day contract ceremonis a Charger.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Yeah, now there's something there, There's something to be said.
The last season is very important for a professional athlete
when they want one more season. He wanted one more season.
He went to Indianapolis because they got Justin Herbert and
all the bit all the things happened, but all the
things his last season was the COVID season.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
That's not a last season. Doesn't feel right, that's not
a last season. That sucks.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
So he's a funny. He's a great, funny, funny guy,
great sense of humor.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Easily my my most favorite athlete I have ever interviewed.
He's gracious, he's respectful, he's brilliant. He loves football more
than every fan loves football. It's what you want to
hear from your quarterback. He will play injured through a
torn acl he late leaves it all out there. You
can bring him around your children.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
The videos of him miked up on the field, whether
he's on the sidelines, John, it's somebody on the ultimate yesterday?
Was it yesterday? They gave the news conference the day before.
Somebody asked him how much he weighs?
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Yeah, because he looks as big as a house. Buffy,
what does you're playing right now, right this second.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Everybody knows. It's funny.
Speaker 5 (27:43):
How about that?
Speaker 7 (27:43):
That's an honest answer. And I will answer a question
a little better on the plane away Greg and not
not what it was when.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
I walked up the film Muffalo.
Speaker 7 (27:51):
All right, I can tell you that. But but then
I'll follow that up with I ain't never ran away
from anybody anyway.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
I love that. By the way, we mentioned this, he
doesn't swear. No, he does not swear.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
He's in a field where men are trying to kill him,
and he does not swear. I did find a video
composite of miked up moments of him swearing. This is
as this is as spicy as Philip River gets.
Speaker 7 (28:21):
Oh honey, oh oh baby, oh oh oh suit, Oh
my gosh, suit, your maces stew out amazing.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
It aggravates the stew out of me. Yeah, yeah, no,
it's great.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
And even the watch probably was like, I'm sorry if
that if you heard.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
He gets so creative with his non swearing. But the
fact of the matter is he's coming in. Cam Newton
said it was like a slap in the face by
the way that they didn't call cam Newton at thirty
six years old.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
They go for Philip Rivers.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Philip Rivers has never stopped talking to the head coach
for the Indianapolis Colts, Shane Steikeen, who is one of
his closest friends, was a quarterbacks coach with the then
San Diego Chargers when they first began their relationship and
have been friends ever since. In fact, Philip Rivers ran
the same offense Shane steiken ran for the Colts with
his son's high school team that led them to the championship.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
Inside out. Yeah, he knows it inside out. He's been
running it all year.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
He's talked with Shane steike In throughout the season about
what works in the offense. What doesn't adjustments to make
I mean, he's dialed into that program. Is his body
dialed into taking a hit from that Seattle d That
is going to be the question. I mean, we'll find
out more today. Thursday's the day when you find out
(29:43):
a lot about what went on at practice and what
you can expect for the weekend ahead.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
If he's if he's playing, that's must watch television.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Oh my god. Sunday Afternoon Culture in Seattle one.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
I think it's one twenty five is officially the I mean,

Saturday so that I have a Sunday afternoon free all right.
Speaker 1 (30:14):

price gouging.

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
