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.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Oh it's crunch time, y'all.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
It is December twenty second, twenty twenty five. I am
going to be a crazy person today and try and
get a lot done after the show.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Like, what what do you mean get a lot? Oh
that's right.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
You are a boy, so you don't do all the
all the stuff. Oh, your wife probably does all the
wrapping and stuff for the.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Families, a lot of wrapping. Yeah, that's exactly my own rapping.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
I mean it's kind of time. Oh you do your
own that's right, You do do your own wrapping.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Yeah, that is cool about you.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Why my husband would do his own wrapping, but it
takes him exponentially longer, So I just do it for him. Oh,
because otherwise it'll take him. I mean, he'll rap gifts
he gets for me, but I do for like, I'll
wrap the gifts that he gets for his family and
things like that or friends or what have you, just
(01:04):
because men take a little bit longer. Like how long
would it take you to wrap five gifts?
Speaker 3 (01:11):
It depends on what it five shoebox sized gifts.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Yeah, five shoebox sized gifts.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Somewhere between twenty and thirty minutes maybe okay for.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
The average woman, I would say it takes about eight
minutes to do five whole gifts. Yeah, we're like elves,
so we we will do all this stuff because it
just makes sense for us to do what I mine
have to be baking. To you, how much baking do
you do around the holiday?
Speaker 3 (01:39):
I offer all the time to help out with baking. Okay,
I get shot down left and right, probably because it'll
do it too slow, yes and yes, or I'll leave
the cookies in too long or whatever. And listen, you've
you've the baking that comes out of my wife's kitchen.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
At Christmas time. It's immaculates. I should not have anything
to do with it.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
I would.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
I went to the delivery guy. Yeah, that's all I
should be doing. No enough to sit this one out right.
But it's like the movie Elf. Your heart is in
the right place, but you're never really going to be
an elf elf because you're just too big and clumsy.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Oh that's good. I like that.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Because your wife has these small, dainty hands and a
lot of energy and she can do all this and
you're like.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
A knock bowls off the counter. Ya, these are grown cooking.
I broke down about more sugar. Where's the extra butter?
What voices that? That's me, that's your big clumsy voice.
We're here, we are a few days before Christmas.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Tomorrow we're going to talk about last minute gift ideas.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
I figure today it is not last minute enough. It's
pretty last minute for me. It's pretty last minute. But
tomorrow we'll do some last minute gift ideas. But this
is going to be a big deal.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
The rain that is coming in, it's probably going to
be here sometime tomorrow afternoon evening and stick with us
through Christmas morning. And they're talking about a SIGNI. This
is not a little rain. It's not a fun rain.
Four to eight inches of rain over the course of
two three days.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
This is really bad timing because you know this well.
People take to the roads who never take to the
roads around Christmas, people who never drive. And most of
the time it's people because they never drive, do not
know how to handle four to eight inches of rain.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
So it is gonna be a mess out there.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Pick those people up, offer to go get your aunt,
offer to go, get grandma, offer to go. Do that
if you're because if not, it's going to be more
of a mess.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Yeah, and then whatever plans you had, Like if you
have in laws coming into town and you're like, you
know what, we'll just go for a walk every morning
and every.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Evening, they're going to be in your house, oh constantly.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
And I mean, yeah, I have in laws coming into
town tomorrow, right day, tomorrow afternoon. Yeah, right when one
day when it starts raining, it is when theyll arrived.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
But there's there's no exit. Well how about games? Games
are fine?
Speaker 1 (04:24):
How about we ask everybody things you can do Gary?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Things Gary can do?
Speaker 1 (04:29):
No, just kidding. Your in laws are lovely there. They
are sufficient people. They will entertain themselves. But some in
laws are not. And and you you're supposed to do
stuff with them. And if it's raining, cats and.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Dogs, a lot of indoors.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Oh boy, you know, UNA only goes so far. And
that's if you have a uno family. I do not,
so you know.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Yeah, My wife and I were discussing as we're sitting
down to watch TV, like Thursday, I think it was Thursday,
maybe Friday. Also, as we're flipping through Netflix or whatever.
We're taking notes about what movies we could watch with
with mom and dad. You know, the Santa appropriate Now
the nice thing get hard. They usually go to bed
(05:16):
relatively early, so we could even start a movie and
just be like, okay, good night, click and then watch
something else right that we.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Wanted to watch. What time do they go to bed
thirty or nine? Perfect?
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Yeah, so there's there's time for a show if we
wanted to watch it, just do.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
If you want to get into a little landman, just
the nerve lends the palette a little bit.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
So they're here to shade Friday Friday morning. Yeah, yeah,
that's not that much.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
And you know my son and daughter are going to
be there, so it's not I mean, there's there's plenty
of it.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
There's plenty of go they can occupy them. That's so good. Yes,
but this storm is going to be a big deal.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
It has been absolutely crushing the Pacific Northwest. A floodwatch
is in place for most of the Greater La areas
starting Tomorrow afternoon through Friday afternoon. They're saying Wednesday is
likely going to be the strongest, heaviest amounts of rain
that come in as I mentioned, in the Pacific Northwest,
(06:20):
they're having some problems with rain and they're actually warning
people now about toilet rats.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
I can't wait to get into this story. This is
the first i'd heard about toilet rats. Did you ever
know about this? I mean we both lived in western Washington.
I don't remember ever doing this as a story. Rats
are a problem, and we had rats at our house
one time when we were living over in Bothel, but
(06:49):
I've never heard them. They tell you, literally, watch out
for your toilets. Rats can get into your sewer system
and emerge.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Through your bowl. He would leave really gone. Oh, I
wouldn't have a problem.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I wouldn't mind.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
I'd rather pull that great horned owl out of the
grill in my car than open the open the lid
and find it.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Right.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
I think I'd like it.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
I'd be like, oh, surprise, no, Hi, I've heard you
scream before.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Rats don't bother me as much.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
I have a couple of mouths in the house that
I think live in the pantry or around there.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
And then I've got a.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Rat outside that just walks by the slider like in
the family room from time to time.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
It's a big rat. And I thought, this rat is
not long for this life.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
I've got bears in the backyard, bobcats, you know, deer,
all sorts of larger deer, mammals with nipples that could
that will eat. When we learned that last week on
the show, you don't have to say it's right, it's redundant. Yeah,
mammals that will eat this rat. But this rat keeps
living its life, and it lives in the grill sometimes
(08:00):
and sometimes it just it owns that that side yard.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
And you know, I've made peace with it.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
And if he turns up in my toilet, first of all,
I don't think he'd fit into through the hole.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
That's listen. I got to be a mouse. I don't
know how it happens. I just know that that would be.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
If you saw a little mouse in your toilet, you
wouldn't take him out.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
And dry them off?
Speaker 1 (08:21):
And is it just the mouse and the just the mouse?
You just open the toilet to go pee or what
have you.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
I probably i'd probably, well, I listen, I probably try
to save the rest.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Yes, you would, you would definitely take it out and
dry him off.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
I doubt I would dry him off the toilet, put
him outside exactly.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
You wouldn't have a heart you went leave, you wouldn't move,
You're just deal with it.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
I'd move, you would not move. I would put yellow
tape up over that bathroom.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Do not use.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Well, it's it's an oily Christmas. The President has a
has a beach plan for this afternoon. We don't know
what it's about, necessarily, but it might have something to
do with the fact that we are chasing an oil
tanker right now.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
We'll talk about that.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Now I know what it's like to be a casting director.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Am I making that chirm up? Sure?
Speaker 1 (09:26):
So Gary has crafted a Christmas Carol for your enjoyment.
It will be on Christmas Eve. Yes, we are working.
It is going to be a If you've never heard
Gary's original play based after a Christmas Carol, you are
in for a treat. Not only can he act, but
he can write a socks off and uh is.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
That the term? Sure? And it's going to be a treat.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
And Michael Monks just came in here for his final
audition and I said, if you could just give us
this paragraph, and he's star. He got one line into
the paragraphic, Oh my gosh, he is gonna be so good.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
That's enough, and.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
They were laughing, and I said, you know what, though,
I've seen this happen. I've seen this play out like
in documentaries and things of famous movies and actors that audition,
and when you know, you know, like I just needed that,
not even the whole first line.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
You got like finishing sentence, three words.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Into it, and I was just like done. It's like
a good melon, you know, when you know.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Stories that were following that Jeffrey Epstein files were kind
of released over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
One of the things that caught.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
My eye was the fact that the FBI had received
a complaint about this guy in nineteen ninety six, about
ten years before it actually investigated Jeffrey Epstein for anything.
A photographer claims that she took pictures of kids for
her own artwork, but that he stole the pictures and
sold them to potential buyers and requested that the photographer
(11:00):
take more pictures of young girls at swimming pools, and
that if she told anybody, he would burn her house down.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I am so grossed out by the continued dissection of
all these pictures too, like, oh, that foot in that
picture looks really small. That looks like a child's foot
in that picture with Jeffrey Epstein. What are we doing?
It's aston answered. We know this guy was crap. We
know he was, you know, the worst of the worst.
(11:30):
We know he preyed on young, vulnerable girls. Let's be
over it and done with it. I get it. He
was well connected. A bunch of people flew on his
private jet.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Bill Clinton didn't like girls. Come on, I mean that
was nineteen ninety six, right.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
We know that too. Let's move on as a people.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Let's find some better energy out there to expose ourselves
to than old Jeffrey Epstein pictures from the nineties.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
He's a hairy guy too.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Yeah, and do you need to see more of that?
I certainly don't.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
President Trump schedule to make an announcement from Florida about
one thirty this after the one thirty hour time, alongside
the Secretary of Defense beat Hegsaf and the Secretary of
the Navy, John Feelin, the Coast Guard seized a second
sanctioned oil tanker in international waters off Venezuela yesterday and
announce sorry Saturday and then announced it was chasing an
(12:28):
oil tanker that was at least the last report. One
American official said the US Coast Guard is active in
active pursuit of a sanctioned dark fleet vessel that is
part of Venezuela's illegal sanctions evasion. It's flying a false
flag under a judicial seizure order. Another official said that
the tanker was under sanctions, but said it hadn't been
(12:49):
boarded so far because once they saw the American Coast
Guard coming, they left, they just sailed away. British Maritime
Risk Management Group said that the ship is known as
the Bella one, a massive, massive crude oil tanker added
last year to the sanctions list of the Treasury Department
(13:11):
because this vessel apparently had links to Iran. When it
was approaching Venezuela, the assumption was that it was going
to load oil. It was then chased, i should say,
by the US Coast Guard. As of right now, we
don't know the exact nature of whether they've caught up
with it, whether they've boarded it. But again, the President
(13:32):
is expected to make some sort of an announcement today
about one thirty our time.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Would you like your jeopardy question.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Just, I know, trying to keep everyone on their toes
because it's an easy week to just zone out. Don't
zone out the billboard Top one hundred for two hundred dollars. Okay, ds,
did you know Hanukkah ends at sundown today?
Speaker 2 (13:52):
It does? I did not know that it's on the calendar.
All right here it is the answer with thirty two.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
This brit has written most hot one hundred chart toppers. Understandably,
John Lennon is a close second.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Who's Paul mccartiny.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Yes, I was gonna think like Adele or Elton John.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
I was thinking. I wasn't thinking of Paul McCartney. The
John Lennon clue helped, Yeah, I did. Yeah, it would
have been in a bad place. You would have been
in a bad place. But you have said, like cold
play or something. I ate cookie, you ate? I ate
cookie doll last night. That's okay.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
I just felt like I needed to be honest and
up front. I don't even know if my wife knows that.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Well, I ate a pint of cookie dough ice cream
on Friday night.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Do you feel better? Yes? Okay, thank you? And I
don't think my husband knew about it. He does. Now,
we're doing a lot of good work here.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
But PSA, if you've never heard of this ice cream,
it's called Halo top. Oh yeah, it's not like real
ice cream. It gets the job done. It's like a
whole pint.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
You mean it's not real.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
It's like uh no, sorbet no, it's.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Like a lighter. It tastes It's like a light ice cream,
is how they they say it. It's like three ninety
calories for the whole pint exactly.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
So I ate the whole pint. But the damage is grenimal.
There's a lot of protein in it.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Amy, Yes, are you working Wednesday? I'm not, and I'm
sad and highly offended. Why are you offended? You're not
going to be here? We have you planned to do
the Christmas Girl when I'm not here? That is not true.
I knew it. Oh, Amy King's back mad at you.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
I thought we had this wrapped up several years ago
when you forgot to put Amy King in the show,
and then Amy King was in the show for years
and then now. But we found out that you weren't
working on Christmas Eve on Friday, which was the day
we decided we were actually going to do the play.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
What was going to be my part?
Speaker 4 (16:05):
Well?
Speaker 2 (16:05):
What is it? All kinds of options?
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Yeah, so you you did this specifically because you wanted
a real actress. No, no, no, no, no, there's room
for everybody.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
This is not.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
All I mean, this is not a TV mumeration. We
don't need to be cut brough. There's enough love for
all of us.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Radio people don't need to fight each other. We don't
need to fight each other. Well, you have Heather Brooker.
She'll do a fabulous job. Oh it sounds like she
is very jealous.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Yeah, you used to do this before Christmas.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
It is before Christmas. It is not just Christmas Eve,
that's before Christmas. It's the last chance to be so
cold in here right now, it is so cold. I'm
just sad as all.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Oh no, all right now you're going to make or
do the news. Gary and Shannon Show will continue, Poor
Amy King.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty Yep.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
We're here today, we'll be here tomorrow. We'll even be
here on Christmas Eve.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
As a matter of fact, we will cookies and presents
and yes, Christmas Carol, and we'll be singing and Oh,
it's gonna be.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
A fun time. I'm looking forward to it. I really am.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Are you saying that, bigre now, I'm curious and yourself
really looking forward to it? Okay, a couple stories that
we are following. Paramount sky Dance has amended its bid
to take over Warner Brothers Discovery. One of the things
that they're doing is offering a forty billion dollar guarantee
by Larry Allison. They're trying to beat out the bid
(17:50):
from Netflix. Ellison agreed to provide the irrevocable personal guarantee
of forty point four billion dollars in equity. Find nancying
for all this. Oh and I saw this today? The
New York Post is suggesting that sag aftra our union
might go on strike in order to prevent the planned
(18:13):
Netflix Warner Brothers Discovery merger. Could you as awful as
the strike has been on the economy in this place,
in this place being la since the strike, since the
writers and actors strikes. I mean, there are thousands of
people whose jobs have never fully recovered from that, And
now they're talking about another one. They didn't ask me,
(18:36):
that's for certain. Tonight, Famous Idaho Potato Bowl. No, I'm sorry,
not tonight. It's this It's eleven o'clock kickoff. Nobody cares
between the Washington State. Not one person cares the Washington
State Cougars and the Utah State b.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
I had no idea.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Youah know, they're the aggie. But that's eleven o'clock this morning.
So Barner Minshew tears ACL. So who do the chiefs
have got it?
Speaker 2 (19:07):
I looked they said it was a kid. They forgot
about that storyline so much going on.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Two quarterbacks in two weeks and both of them destroyed
their cls.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
And he assorted cls a's and l's.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Somebody whose name Chris olidokun olidokinl it okan oken he
is let's be born in nineteen ninety seven, so he's old.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
He's twenty eight. Wow, yeah old. Selected by the Steelers
in twenty twenty two, so he's been around for a
few years. I mean he.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Sits behind Patrick Mahomes and Garner Minshew. Maybe it's a
great story. Not Sunday Tonight, Monday Night football, the fourteen
nine Ers taking on the Polton Indianapolis.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Playoff implications on the line.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
The Niners went out and they get the number one
seed in the NFC home field throughout.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
But they all but they have to play the Bears
in the Seahawks.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
They got to play the Bears and the Seahawks at home.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Yes they do, but what a great exclamation point on
their way to those two must win home games if
they want that number one seed. Mind you, the forty
nine ers team are a practice squad. They were decimated
by injuries early in the season. Everyone including myself, counted
them out. But here comes Kyle Shanahan with his system
and his scheme that he can plug anyone into. A
(20:32):
coaching staff has got to be incredible over there with
just that next man up mentality, with Robert stalin the defense,
without Fred Warner incredible. On the other side of the ball,
you've got five hundred year old Philip Rivers efforting his
Disney movie ending with a win at home in Indianapolis,
something that hasn't been done for him in five years.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Carry him off the field tonight if you win.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
I yeah, it's it's gonna be. They're going to carry
him off the field. One way or another.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
We'll be carried off the field maybe.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
I mean.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
I love the Philip river story.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
You can't find a likable, more good guy, a guy
who loves football more. Everyone should like the Philip Rivers story.
But it may come to a close tonight. We'll see.
But it's going to be a good game. And here's
another thing that's fun for me. Fun for me, Like
Elmer was saying earlier, the forty nine Ers win tonight,
and that means the Chargers clinch a playoff spot with
(21:28):
an Indy loss and somebody else right now, it was
either or it was either a Texans loss or Indy loss.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
That's what it was.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Yeah, okay, yeah, it was yesterday morning while oh I
mean talked about that yet, while I started replacing my
garage door opener, I was listening to the NFL network's
early early pregame stuff and they were going over in
the play and everything a lot just too much as
of yesterday morning.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
It was unbelievable. How much was there? Too much?
Speaker 3 (21:57):
They should have just said, listen, we'll tell you at well,
i'll tell you what it is exactly, because it was
a lot of like if the Raiders end up tying
but the you know, the Texans, and it was right,
it's too much. Yeah, Greenland is back in play. President
Trump announced yesterday that Louisiana's governor, Jeff Landry, will be
the new envoy to Greenland. But of course, Denmark's foreign
(22:22):
minister says that they are not for sale, and the
leaders of both Denmark and Greenland insist the United States
is not taking over Greenland. That kind of those headlines
kind of disappeared after a while. But now that we
now know that Jeff Landry is the guy who's going
to be the envoy to Greenland, it might I don't
(22:43):
know if he's going to put his foot on the
gas or any of that, but that will bring the
headlines back that Greenland might be for sale.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Well, the political move of establishing an envoy to Greenland
is a move to say we want more power over
your land. It's very sim Trump announced this on Sunday,
saying that Jeff understands how essential Greenland is to our
national security and will strongly advance our country's interests for safety, security,
(23:11):
and survival. It's like sending in a little a little
mole into the into the country, a little rat. It's
like if you're playing risk, right and you take one
of your little I don't know, actually I haven't played
that in a long time, and the analogy will make
no sense. But like when you put like one of
your little pieces on Greenland as opposed to your entire army,
you just put like one little guy there just as
(23:32):
a foothold, right, just just like hey, we're here, we're here.
I could move more little guys over here, but now
there's just the one.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
You want to make some money during World Cup?
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Oh oh, I am like seriously thinking about it.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Because you have.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Friends to live with, You've got room for me, you
rent out your house. You could be making ridiculous money
for that week.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Rediculous And that's just a precursor for or what could
happen during the Olympics.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
The World Cup's more money, you think, so uh huh yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
We'll talk about that when we come back. Are you right?
You seem a little parts. You're drinking water like crazy,
throat is dry. I'm not saying, oh, we've done that.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Well, it's cold out, it's it's a strong sixty seven.
We're not used to this.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Forty, and I'm like, what did I get you last year?
He's like, you don't remember getting stopped by TSA. And
I said, no, I don't, and he's like, remember they
took out the knives and the fire making material. It's like, oh, right,
I flew up to Sacramento with a survive one of
(24:46):
those survival kits for my brother. Yeah, like an idiot,
like a total idiot, and they I mean I basically
the survival kit had by the time I got to
his house gaus and bands like Gauze and band aids.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
I was like, and Merry Christmas to you, sir.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
And then I forgot I was going to replace it,
and I forgot, I guess, and so I got the
same survival kit and I had it shipped to his house.
So like, no, I don't remember getting stopp by TSA.
It happens. It happens regularly. We got stopped by the
federal government when we were in Cleveland.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Oh yeah, well that that was that was the Secret Service, right,
that was a higher level, much more threatening.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Yeah, that wasn't good. Well, the guy in.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
The sniper perch above us looking at us through the
scope of his rifle.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
It's not comforting. What was it again?
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Was it something on us? I think it was awesome,
wasn't it.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
It was some radioactive detection, Like, yeah, they said something radioactive.
You walked through that hallway and they were asking us questions,
are you on medication or what is it cancer medication
or something like that that would give off a radioactive
signature something, and then just figured it was a false alarm.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Oh, I thought it was something we had on us. No,
they never They never ended up taking anything, but that
was an on.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
You enjoyed the frisk gang, though, didn't you. I leaned
into it, but I don't know if I would say
I enjoyed it.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Well.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
I think it was like our fourth day, so you
had been away from the wife for a while.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
I gotta find love anyway I can, right, Yeah, you're like, sir,
you forgot to check here. I did not point to that.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
June twelfth, twenty twenty six, Peggy Ornstein was flooded with
booking requests for an airbnb in Inglewood, Connor Rando, except
that is the date when Paraguay kicks off the World
Cup against the United States at Sofi Stadium, and this
(26:57):
typically a two nights day would be about a thousand
bucks maybe five hundred bucks a night for a two
night stay during the opening match June twelfth. It's going
to cost ten thousand dollars and she's got multiple offers,
multiple booking requests for her place in Englewood.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
The La Times had a picture of a guy with
a big, bright smile on its digital edition and he
has a place an Airbnb across the street from Sofi Stadium. Brilliant,
by the way, brilliant sir, to see that stadium go
up and gobble up that place for an airbnb for
(27:38):
visiting fans. He usually rents it for four hundred dollars
a night, which is steep, but football fans they pay
that kind of money. Especially they'll pay for accessibility and
they will pay for proximity right right next to the stadium.
Four hundred dollars a night he usually charges, which is insane.
(27:59):
He's charged during the World Cup seven thousand dollars a night.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
And listen, that's just I'll do that.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Like if I can get from my tiny one bedroom
home a two bedroom home seven thousand dollars a night,
sure you absolutely better believe I'll be staying at my
father in law's couch or whatever.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
And it's it's I mean, even the places that are
farther out. I mean, they have they have an example
here a house in the Hollywood Hills Infinity Pool has
been rented for seven nights that week for thirty three
thousand dollars. Now, if you're in a home, you can
bring a whole lot more people. You could cut down
(28:40):
that price. And if you're traveling anyway, I mean, and
they're saying a lot of these people are gonna be
international travelers that are coming in to watch these matches.
You're gonna make a week at You're gonna make a
week of it, right, and you're gonna bring friends, and
you're gonna bring money, and you know you're gonna pay
for it. But when else would you have the opportunity
to do that?
Speaker 1 (28:58):
And here's the thing you're oh, there's I don't want
people in my bed or whatever. Take all your betting off,
throw it in the closet, go to go to Walmart.
Get the cheapest betting you can find. Cost you a
couple hundred dollars to put new bedding, pillows, sheets, whatever
on both beds.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
If you've got two beds, you.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Make up for that those sheets that you're just going
to turn around and donate to Goodwill right after they leave.
If that's what you're worried about. I mean, there's just
a general that people are very you know, territorial about
their homes and just don't want people in their home period.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
There is problem. It's a lot of money to be made,
it is.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
The thing is there's going to be sort of off
market that's not the right There's gonna be a black
market perhaps for the short term rentals, because there are
posts around here that don't allow short term rentals. There
are municipalities where you're not supposed to listen to VRBO.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
You just don't tell them. You got to find the
right marketplace to rent it out. But you got a guy,
I got a guy.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Do what you want to Also, America, if you want
to rent out your house to another country, fine.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
If you've misused any part of our show, please go
back out and check out the podcast. It's posted at
the end of every single show that we do. And
then of course on the weekends you get the Weekend Fix,
which is a segment.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
That does not air during the regular week I'm worried
about this storm. We'll get into it when we come
back to Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
You've been listening to the Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
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.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Oh it's crunch time, y'all.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
It is December twenty second, twenty twenty five. I am
going to be a crazy person today and try and
get a lot done after the show.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Like, what what do you mean get a lot? Oh
that's right.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
You are a boy, so you don't do all the
all the stuff. Oh, your wife probably does all the
wrapping and stuff for the.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Families, a lot of wrapping. Yeah, that's exactly my own rapping.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
I mean it's kind of time. Oh you do your
own that's right, You do do your own wrapping.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Yeah, that is cool about you.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Why my husband would do his own wrapping, but it
takes him exponentially longer, So I just do it for him. Oh,
because otherwise it'll take him. I mean, he'll rap gifts
he gets for me, but I do for like, I'll
wrap the gifts that he gets for his family and
things like that or friends or what have you, just
(01:04):
because men take a little bit longer. Like how long
would it take you to wrap five gifts?
Speaker 3 (01:11):
It depends on what it five shoebox sized gifts.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Yeah, five shoebox sized gifts.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Somewhere between twenty and thirty minutes maybe okay for.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
The average woman, I would say it takes about eight
minutes to do five whole gifts. Yeah, we're like elves,
so we we will do all this stuff because it
just makes sense for us to do what I mine
have to be baking. To you, how much baking do
you do around the holiday?
Speaker 3 (01:39):
I offer all the time to help out with baking. Okay,
I get shot down left and right, probably because it'll
do it too slow, yes and yes, or I'll leave
the cookies in too long or whatever. And listen, you've
you've the baking that comes out of my wife's kitchen.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
At Christmas time. It's immaculates. I should not have anything
to do with it.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
I would.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
I went to the delivery guy. Yeah, that's all I
should be doing. No enough to sit this one out right.
But it's like the movie Elf. Your heart is in
the right place, but you're never really going to be
an elf elf because you're just too big and clumsy.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Oh that's good. I like that.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Because your wife has these small, dainty hands and a
lot of energy and she can do all this and
you're like.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
A knock bowls off the counter. Ya, these are grown cooking.
I broke down about more sugar. Where's the extra butter?
What voices that? That's me, that's your big clumsy voice.
We're here, we are a few days before Christmas.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Tomorrow we're going to talk about last minute gift ideas.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
I figure today it is not last minute enough. It's
pretty last minute for me. It's pretty last minute. But
tomorrow we'll do some last minute gift ideas. But this
is going to be a big deal.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
The rain that is coming in, it's probably going to
be here sometime tomorrow afternoon evening and stick with us
through Christmas morning. And they're talking about a SIGNI. This
is not a little rain. It's not a fun rain.
Four to eight inches of rain over the course of
two three days.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
This is really bad timing because you know this well.
People take to the roads who never take to the
roads around Christmas, people who never drive. And most of
the time it's people because they never drive, do not
know how to handle four to eight inches of rain.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
So it is gonna be a mess out there.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Pick those people up, offer to go get your aunt,
offer to go, get grandma, offer to go. Do that
if you're because if not, it's going to be more
of a mess.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Yeah, and then whatever plans you had, Like if you
have in laws coming into town and you're like, you
know what, we'll just go for a walk every morning
and every.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Evening, they're going to be in your house, oh constantly.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
And I mean, yeah, I have in laws coming into
town tomorrow, right day, tomorrow afternoon. Yeah, right when one
day when it starts raining, it is when theyll arrived.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
But there's there's no exit. Well how about games? Games
are fine?
Speaker 1 (04:24):
How about we ask everybody things you can do Gary?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Things Gary can do?
Speaker 1 (04:29):
No, just kidding. Your in laws are lovely there. They
are sufficient people. They will entertain themselves. But some in
laws are not. And and you you're supposed to do
stuff with them. And if it's raining, cats and.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Dogs, a lot of indoors.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Oh boy, you know, UNA only goes so far. And
that's if you have a uno family. I do not,
so you know.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Yeah, My wife and I were discussing as we're sitting
down to watch TV, like Thursday, I think it was Thursday,
maybe Friday. Also, as we're flipping through Netflix or whatever.
We're taking notes about what movies we could watch with
with mom and dad. You know, the Santa appropriate Now
the nice thing get hard. They usually go to bed
(05:16):
relatively early, so we could even start a movie and
just be like, okay, good night, click and then watch
something else right that we.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Wanted to watch. What time do they go to bed
thirty or nine? Perfect?
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Yeah, so there's there's time for a show if we
wanted to watch it, just do.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
If you want to get into a little landman, just
the nerve lends the palette a little bit.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
So they're here to shade Friday Friday morning. Yeah, yeah,
that's not that much.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
And you know my son and daughter are going to
be there, so it's not I mean, there's there's plenty
of it.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
There's plenty of go they can occupy them. That's so good. Yes,
but this storm is going to be a big deal.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
It has been absolutely crushing the Pacific Northwest. A floodwatch
is in place for most of the Greater La areas
starting Tomorrow afternoon through Friday afternoon. They're saying Wednesday is
likely going to be the strongest, heaviest amounts of rain
that come in as I mentioned, in the Pacific Northwest,
(06:20):
they're having some problems with rain and they're actually warning
people now about toilet rats.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
I can't wait to get into this story. This is
the first i'd heard about toilet rats. Did you ever
know about this? I mean we both lived in western Washington.
I don't remember ever doing this as a story. Rats
are a problem, and we had rats at our house
one time when we were living over in Bothel, but
(06:49):
I've never heard them. They tell you, literally, watch out
for your toilets. Rats can get into your sewer system
and emerge.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Through your bowl. He would leave really gone. Oh, I
wouldn't have a problem.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I wouldn't mind.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
I'd rather pull that great horned owl out of the
grill in my car than open the open the lid
and find it.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Right.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
I think I'd like it.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
I'd be like, oh, surprise, no, Hi, I've heard you
scream before.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Rats don't bother me as much.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
I have a couple of mouths in the house that
I think live in the pantry or around there.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
And then I've got a.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Rat outside that just walks by the slider like in
the family room from time to time.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
It's a big rat. And I thought, this rat is
not long for this life.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
I've got bears in the backyard, bobcats, you know, deer,
all sorts of larger deer, mammals with nipples that could
that will eat. When we learned that last week on
the show, you don't have to say it's right, it's redundant. Yeah,
mammals that will eat this rat. But this rat keeps
living its life, and it lives in the grill sometimes
(08:00):
and sometimes it just it owns that that side yard.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
And you know, I've made peace with it.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
And if he turns up in my toilet, first of all,
I don't think he'd fit into through the hole.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
That's listen. I got to be a mouse. I don't
know how it happens. I just know that that would be.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
If you saw a little mouse in your toilet, you
wouldn't take him out.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
And dry them off?
Speaker 1 (08:21):
And is it just the mouse and the just the mouse?
You just open the toilet to go pee or what
have you.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
I probably i'd probably, well, I listen, I probably try
to save the rest.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Yes, you would, you would definitely take it out and
dry him off.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
I doubt I would dry him off the toilet, put
him outside exactly.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
You wouldn't have a heart you went leave, you wouldn't move,
You're just deal with it.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
I'd move, you would not move. I would put yellow
tape up over that bathroom.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Do not use.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Well, it's it's an oily Christmas. The President has a
has a beach plan for this afternoon. We don't know
what it's about, necessarily, but it might have something to
do with the fact that we are chasing an oil
tanker right now.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
We'll talk about that.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Now I know what it's like to be a casting director.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Am I making that chirm up? Sure?
Speaker 1 (09:26):
So Gary has crafted a Christmas Carol for your enjoyment.
It will be on Christmas Eve. Yes, we are working.
It is going to be a If you've never heard
Gary's original play based after a Christmas Carol, you are
in for a treat. Not only can he act, but
he can write a socks off and uh is.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
That the term? Sure? And it's going to be a treat.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
And Michael Monks just came in here for his final
audition and I said, if you could just give us
this paragraph, and he's star. He got one line into
the paragraphic, Oh my gosh, he is gonna be so good.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
That's enough, and.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
They were laughing, and I said, you know what, though,
I've seen this happen. I've seen this play out like
in documentaries and things of famous movies and actors that audition,
and when you know, you know, like I just needed that,
not even the whole first line.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
You got like finishing sentence, three words.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Into it, and I was just like done. It's like
a good melon, you know, when you know.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Stories that were following that Jeffrey Epstein files were kind
of released over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
One of the things that caught.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
My eye was the fact that the FBI had received
a complaint about this guy in nineteen ninety six, about
ten years before it actually investigated Jeffrey Epstein for anything.
A photographer claims that she took pictures of kids for
her own artwork, but that he stole the pictures and
sold them to potential buyers and requested that the photographer
(11:00):
take more pictures of young girls at swimming pools, and
that if she told anybody, he would burn her house down.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I am so grossed out by the continued dissection of
all these pictures too, like, oh, that foot in that
picture looks really small. That looks like a child's foot
in that picture with Jeffrey Epstein. What are we doing?
It's aston answered. We know this guy was crap. We
know he was, you know, the worst of the worst.
(11:30):
We know he preyed on young, vulnerable girls. Let's be
over it and done with it. I get it. He
was well connected. A bunch of people flew on his
private jet.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Bill Clinton didn't like girls. Come on, I mean that
was nineteen ninety six, right.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
We know that too. Let's move on as a people.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Let's find some better energy out there to expose ourselves
to than old Jeffrey Epstein pictures from the nineties.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
He's a hairy guy too.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Yeah, and do you need to see more of that?
I certainly don't.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
President Trump schedule to make an announcement from Florida about
one thirty this after the one thirty hour time, alongside
the Secretary of Defense beat Hegsaf and the Secretary of
the Navy, John Feelin, the Coast Guard seized a second
sanctioned oil tanker in international waters off Venezuela yesterday and
announce sorry Saturday and then announced it was chasing an
(12:28):
oil tanker that was at least the last report. One
American official said the US Coast Guard is active in
active pursuit of a sanctioned dark fleet vessel that is
part of Venezuela's illegal sanctions evasion. It's flying a false
flag under a judicial seizure order. Another official said that
the tanker was under sanctions, but said it hadn't been
(12:49):
boarded so far because once they saw the American Coast
Guard coming, they left, they just sailed away. British Maritime
Risk Management Group said that the ship is known as
the Bella one, a massive, massive crude oil tanker added
last year to the sanctions list of the Treasury Department
(13:11):
because this vessel apparently had links to Iran. When it
was approaching Venezuela, the assumption was that it was going
to load oil. It was then chased, i should say,
by the US Coast Guard. As of right now, we
don't know the exact nature of whether they've caught up
with it, whether they've boarded it. But again, the President
(13:32):
is expected to make some sort of an announcement today
about one thirty our time.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Would you like your jeopardy question.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Just, I know, trying to keep everyone on their toes
because it's an easy week to just zone out. Don't
zone out the billboard Top one hundred for two hundred dollars. Okay, ds,
did you know Hanukkah ends at sundown today?
Speaker 2 (13:52):
It does? I did not know that it's on the calendar.
All right here it is the answer with thirty two.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
This brit has written most hot one hundred chart toppers. Understandably,
John Lennon is a close second.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Who's Paul mccartiny.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Yes, I was gonna think like Adele or Elton John.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
I was thinking. I wasn't thinking of Paul McCartney. The
John Lennon clue helped, Yeah, I did. Yeah, it would
have been in a bad place. You would have been
in a bad place. But you have said, like cold
play or something. I ate cookie, you ate? I ate
cookie doll last night. That's okay.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
I just felt like I needed to be honest and
up front. I don't even know if my wife knows that.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Well, I ate a pint of cookie dough ice cream
on Friday night.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Do you feel better? Yes? Okay, thank you? And I
don't think my husband knew about it. He does. Now,
we're doing a lot of good work here.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
But PSA, if you've never heard of this ice cream,
it's called Halo top. Oh yeah, it's not like real
ice cream. It gets the job done. It's like a
whole pint.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
You mean it's not real.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
It's like uh no, sorbet no, it's.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Like a lighter. It tastes It's like a light ice cream,
is how they they say it. It's like three ninety
calories for the whole pint exactly.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
So I ate the whole pint. But the damage is grenimal.
There's a lot of protein in it.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Amy, Yes, are you working Wednesday? I'm not, and I'm
sad and highly offended. Why are you offended? You're not
going to be here? We have you planned to do
the Christmas Girl when I'm not here? That is not true.
I knew it. Oh, Amy King's back mad at you.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
I thought we had this wrapped up several years ago
when you forgot to put Amy King in the show,
and then Amy King was in the show for years
and then now. But we found out that you weren't
working on Christmas Eve on Friday, which was the day
we decided we were actually going to do the play.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
What was going to be my part?
Speaker 4 (16:05):
Well?
Speaker 2 (16:05):
What is it? All kinds of options?
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Yeah, so you you did this specifically because you wanted
a real actress. No, no, no, no, no, there's room
for everybody.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
This is not.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
All I mean, this is not a TV mumeration. We
don't need to be cut brough. There's enough love for
all of us.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Radio people don't need to fight each other. We don't
need to fight each other. Well, you have Heather Brooker.
She'll do a fabulous job. Oh it sounds like she
is very jealous.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Yeah, you used to do this before Christmas.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
It is before Christmas. It is not just Christmas Eve,
that's before Christmas. It's the last chance to be so
cold in here right now, it is so cold. I'm
just sad as all.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Oh no, all right now you're going to make or
do the news. Gary and Shannon Show will continue, Poor
Amy King.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty Yep.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
We're here today, we'll be here tomorrow. We'll even be
here on Christmas Eve.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
As a matter of fact, we will cookies and presents
and yes, Christmas Carol, and we'll be singing and Oh,
it's gonna be.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
A fun time. I'm looking forward to it. I really am.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Are you saying that, bigre now, I'm curious and yourself
really looking forward to it? Okay, a couple stories that
we are following. Paramount sky Dance has amended its bid
to take over Warner Brothers Discovery. One of the things
that they're doing is offering a forty billion dollar guarantee
by Larry Allison. They're trying to beat out the bid
(17:50):
from Netflix. Ellison agreed to provide the irrevocable personal guarantee
of forty point four billion dollars in equity. Find nancying
for all this. Oh and I saw this today? The
New York Post is suggesting that sag aftra our union
might go on strike in order to prevent the planned
(18:13):
Netflix Warner Brothers Discovery merger. Could you as awful as
the strike has been on the economy in this place,
in this place being la since the strike, since the
writers and actors strikes. I mean, there are thousands of
people whose jobs have never fully recovered from that, And
now they're talking about another one. They didn't ask me,
(18:36):
that's for certain. Tonight, Famous Idaho Potato Bowl. No, I'm sorry,
not tonight. It's this It's eleven o'clock kickoff. Nobody cares
between the Washington State. Not one person cares the Washington
State Cougars and the Utah State b.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
I had no idea.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Youah know, they're the aggie. But that's eleven o'clock this morning.
So Barner Minshew tears ACL. So who do the chiefs
have got it?
Speaker 2 (19:07):
I looked they said it was a kid. They forgot
about that storyline so much going on.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Two quarterbacks in two weeks and both of them destroyed
their cls.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
And he assorted cls a's and l's.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Somebody whose name Chris olidokun olidokinl it okan oken he
is let's be born in nineteen ninety seven, so he's old.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
He's twenty eight. Wow, yeah old. Selected by the Steelers
in twenty twenty two, so he's been around for a
few years. I mean he.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Sits behind Patrick Mahomes and Garner Minshew. Maybe it's a
great story. Not Sunday Tonight, Monday Night football, the fourteen
nine Ers taking on the Polton Indianapolis.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Playoff implications on the line.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
The Niners went out and they get the number one
seed in the NFC home field throughout.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
But they all but they have to play the Bears
in the Seahawks.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
They got to play the Bears and the Seahawks at home.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Yes they do, but what a great exclamation point on
their way to those two must win home games if
they want that number one seed. Mind you, the forty
nine ers team are a practice squad. They were decimated
by injuries early in the season. Everyone including myself, counted
them out. But here comes Kyle Shanahan with his system
and his scheme that he can plug anyone into. A
(20:32):
coaching staff has got to be incredible over there with
just that next man up mentality, with Robert stalin the defense,
without Fred Warner incredible. On the other side of the ball,
you've got five hundred year old Philip Rivers efforting his
Disney movie ending with a win at home in Indianapolis,
something that hasn't been done for him in five years.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Carry him off the field tonight if you win.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
I yeah, it's it's gonna be. They're going to carry
him off the field. One way or another.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
We'll be carried off the field maybe.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
I mean.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
I love the Philip river story.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
You can't find a likable, more good guy, a guy
who loves football more. Everyone should like the Philip Rivers story.
But it may come to a close tonight. We'll see.
But it's going to be a good game. And here's
another thing that's fun for me. Fun for me, Like
Elmer was saying earlier, the forty nine Ers win tonight,
and that means the Chargers clinch a playoff spot with
(21:28):
an Indy loss and somebody else right now, it was
either or it was either a Texans loss or Indy loss.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
That's what it was.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Yeah, okay, yeah, it was yesterday morning while oh I
mean talked about that yet, while I started replacing my
garage door opener, I was listening to the NFL network's
early early pregame stuff and they were going over in
the play and everything a lot just too much as
of yesterday morning.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
It was unbelievable. How much was there? Too much?
Speaker 3 (21:57):
They should have just said, listen, we'll tell you at well,
i'll tell you what it is exactly, because it was
a lot of like if the Raiders end up tying
but the you know, the Texans, and it was right,
it's too much. Yeah, Greenland is back in play. President
Trump announced yesterday that Louisiana's governor, Jeff Landry, will be
the new envoy to Greenland. But of course, Denmark's foreign
(22:22):
minister says that they are not for sale, and the
leaders of both Denmark and Greenland insist the United States
is not taking over Greenland. That kind of those headlines
kind of disappeared after a while. But now that we
now know that Jeff Landry is the guy who's going
to be the envoy to Greenland, it might I don't
(22:43):
know if he's going to put his foot on the
gas or any of that, but that will bring the
headlines back that Greenland might be for sale.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Well, the political move of establishing an envoy to Greenland
is a move to say we want more power over
your land. It's very sim Trump announced this on Sunday,
saying that Jeff understands how essential Greenland is to our
national security and will strongly advance our country's interests for safety, security,
(23:11):
and survival. It's like sending in a little a little
mole into the into the country, a little rat. It's
like if you're playing risk, right and you take one
of your little I don't know, actually I haven't played
that in a long time, and the analogy will make
no sense. But like when you put like one of
your little pieces on Greenland as opposed to your entire army,
you just put like one little guy there just as
(23:32):
a foothold, right, just just like hey, we're here, we're here.
I could move more little guys over here, but now
there's just the one.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
You want to make some money during World Cup?
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Oh oh, I am like seriously thinking about it.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Because you have.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Friends to live with, You've got room for me, you
rent out your house. You could be making ridiculous money
for that week.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Rediculous And that's just a precursor for or what could
happen during the Olympics.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
The World Cup's more money, you think, so uh huh yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
We'll talk about that when we come back. Are you right?
You seem a little parts. You're drinking water like crazy,
throat is dry. I'm not saying, oh, we've done that.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Well, it's cold out, it's it's a strong sixty seven.
We're not used to this.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Forty, and I'm like, what did I get you last year?
He's like, you don't remember getting stopped by TSA. And
I said, no, I don't, and he's like, remember they
took out the knives and the fire making material. It's like, oh, right,
I flew up to Sacramento with a survive one of
(24:46):
those survival kits for my brother. Yeah, like an idiot,
like a total idiot, and they I mean I basically
the survival kit had by the time I got to
his house gaus and bands like Gauze and band aids.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
I was like, and Merry Christmas to you, sir.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
And then I forgot I was going to replace it,
and I forgot, I guess, and so I got the
same survival kit and I had it shipped to his house.
So like, no, I don't remember getting stopp by TSA.
It happens. It happens regularly. We got stopped by the
federal government when we were in Cleveland.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Oh yeah, well that that was that was the Secret Service, right,
that was a higher level, much more threatening.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Yeah, that wasn't good. Well, the guy in.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
The sniper perch above us looking at us through the
scope of his rifle.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
It's not comforting. What was it again?
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Was it something on us? I think it was awesome,
wasn't it.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
It was some radioactive detection, Like, yeah, they said something radioactive.
You walked through that hallway and they were asking us questions,
are you on medication or what is it cancer medication
or something like that that would give off a radioactive
signature something, and then just figured it was a false alarm.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Oh, I thought it was something we had on us. No,
they never They never ended up taking anything, but that
was an on.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
You enjoyed the frisk gang, though, didn't you. I leaned
into it, but I don't know if I would say
I enjoyed it.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Well.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
I think it was like our fourth day, so you
had been away from the wife for a while.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
I gotta find love anyway I can, right, Yeah, you're like, sir,
you forgot to check here. I did not point to that.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
June twelfth, twenty twenty six, Peggy Ornstein was flooded with
booking requests for an airbnb in Inglewood, Connor Rando, except
that is the date when Paraguay kicks off the World
Cup against the United States at Sofi Stadium, and this
(26:57):
typically a two nights day would be about a thousand
bucks maybe five hundred bucks a night for a two
night stay during the opening match June twelfth. It's going
to cost ten thousand dollars and she's got multiple offers,
multiple booking requests for her place in Englewood.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
The La Times had a picture of a guy with
a big, bright smile on its digital edition and he
has a place an Airbnb across the street from Sofi Stadium. Brilliant,
by the way, brilliant sir, to see that stadium go
up and gobble up that place for an airbnb for
(27:38):
visiting fans. He usually rents it for four hundred dollars
a night, which is steep, but football fans they pay
that kind of money. Especially they'll pay for accessibility and
they will pay for proximity right right next to the stadium.
Four hundred dollars a night he usually charges, which is insane.
(27:59):
He's charged during the World Cup seven thousand dollars a night.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
And listen, that's just I'll do that.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Like if I can get from my tiny one bedroom
home a two bedroom home seven thousand dollars a night,
sure you absolutely better believe I'll be staying at my
father in law's couch or whatever.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
And it's it's I mean, even the places that are
farther out. I mean, they have they have an example
here a house in the Hollywood Hills Infinity Pool has
been rented for seven nights that week for thirty three
thousand dollars. Now, if you're in a home, you can
bring a whole lot more people. You could cut down
(28:40):
that price. And if you're traveling anyway, I mean, and
they're saying a lot of these people are gonna be
international travelers that are coming in to watch these matches.
You're gonna make a week at You're gonna make a
week of it, right, and you're gonna bring friends, and
you're gonna bring money, and you know you're gonna pay
for it. But when else would you have the opportunity
to do that?
Speaker 1 (28:58):
And here's the thing you're oh, there's I don't want
people in my bed or whatever. Take all your betting off,
throw it in the closet, go to go to Walmart.
Get the cheapest betting you can find. Cost you a
couple hundred dollars to put new bedding, pillows, sheets, whatever
on both beds.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
If you've got two beds, you.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Make up for that those sheets that you're just going
to turn around and donate to Goodwill right after they leave.
If that's what you're worried about. I mean, there's just
a general that people are very you know, territorial about
their homes and just don't want people in their home period.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
There is problem. It's a lot of money to be made,
it is.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
The thing is there's going to be sort of off
market that's not the right There's gonna be a black
market perhaps for the short term rentals, because there are
posts around here that don't allow short term rentals. There
are municipalities where you're not supposed to listen to VRBO.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
You just don't tell them. You got to find the
right marketplace to rent it out. But you got a guy,
I got a guy.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Do what you want to Also, America, if you want
to rent out your house to another country, fine.
