Gary & Shannon dive into a chaos-filled segment of #WhatsHappening: from Paramount’s surprise hostile takeover bid for Warner Bros. to tsunami alerts in Japan, a Miami Heat player’s wire-fraud arraignment, bizarre NFL end-game antics, and a Golden Globes lineup dominated by DiCaprio and Sinners.
They celebrate the record-smashing PastaThon totals (over $1.29 million raised!), reflect on what makes SoCal listeners so generous, and then spiral into peak studio shenanigans: Gary debating drop-ins, joking about “Santa-based calorie denial,” and amping up for Monday Night Football at SoFi (where Shannon is live @ SoFi)!
The hour wraps with a fiery #MotivationalMonday moment from Any Given Sunday and a wholesome story about Indonesia’s first giant panda cub.

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):
Aut Shannon's it so fi. You can hear it in
the background there. Get ready for tonight's Monday night football game.
The Chargers are hosting the Philadelphia Eagles. Kickoff coming up
just after five o'clock tonight.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Big Game, Big Game, two eight and four teams, Eagles,
two back to back losses. I don't know if you
saw last week, but I was shocked when I'm watching
the I forget who they were playing. I think it
was awful. I think it was Eagle. It was the
Eagles Cowboys. They lose to the Cowboys at home. I
don't remember, but it was awful. And the fans start
(00:42):
booing the Eagles as they go into the locker room
before halftime.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
I'm like, y'all just won the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
You know you can handle a losing half of football.
You know. I get it that it was gonna be
the second loss, but they hadn't even lost yet they're booing.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
I'm like, my goodness.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Philadelphia has always had a reputation being hard for a
visiting team. But art for the home team, that was
a rough go. What else is going on? Time for
what's happening? Well? Paramount sky Dance has made a hostile
takeover bid for Warner Brothers Discovery. This came on the
(01:22):
heels of Netflix saying it had entered a deal with
Warner Brothers Discovery for about seventy billion. Paramount said it
would be fully this offer fully backstopped by the Ellison
Family and Redbird Capital, along with another fifty four billion
dollars of debt commitments from Bank of America and City
and Apollo, et cetera. This is not done as of
(01:45):
yet because Paramount Skydance says they're going to go straight
to the Warner Brothers stockholders in an attempt to kind
of do an end around to cut off the Netflix deal,
which would also still have to undergo all the regularatory approval,
et cetera, so it would take a long time year,
year and a half two years before it's efficient.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
There was a tsunami warning issued after a powerful seven
point six earthquakes struck off shore today in Japan. Authorities
warned that the northeastern coastline could see those towering waves.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
This was off off the coast of hawk I do
Hawky do?
Speaker 1 (02:25):
I don't know, But they said the hazardous waves possible
up to six hundred and twenty miles from the epicenter,
threatening both Japan and Russia.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
And I know it's not a whole lot. I mean,
it doesn't seem like a lot. This what is it
forty centimeters or fifteen inches of tsunami. It doesn't take much.
It's a lot more powerful than I think people can
wrap their heads around. A couple different examples of that already.
The winter storm that has caused some problems over the
(03:00):
most eastern states. Another quick hitting winter storm brewing in
the mid Atlantic Washington, d C, Virginia, Maryland. They also
the first snow of the season. Snow and sleep are
going to across are going to go across southern Virginia,
West Virginia, spreading all the way through North Carolina today.
This fast moving storm system sliding off of the East coast,
they said, taking advantage of the Arctic air that has
(03:23):
been in the region. And if you're on the old
twenty six, the sixty five to seventy seven, or the
eighty one, boy, it's going to be slick driving.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
The gambling scandal that hit was that last month is
headed to the courtroom. Miami Heat player Terry Rogier said
to appear today in federal court in Brooklyn on charges
he helped gamblers place bets on his own performance in NBA games.
He's thirty one, he's a point guard, and he will
be formally arraigned on federal wire fraud and money laundering
(03:52):
conspiracy charges. Always get you for the wire fraud and
the conspiracy. There's five other co defendants and lawyers for
this free trial hearing later in the day. One of
his lawyers deny the charges, saying that he was not
a gambler, looks forward to winning this fight. That is
not a defense to say that you're not a gambler.
(04:13):
You're gonna have to prove the doesn't like money. Put
on all the evidence it says he doesn't like money,
and we'll listen. More than thirty people have been arrested
in connection with this takedown of illegal gambling operations linked
to professional sports. And this is the one where you know,
you realize that the mafia is still very active and
wrapped up in this whole bit. They say that this guy,
(04:35):
this point guard conspired with friends to help them win
bets on his performance. It was a March twenty twenty
three game when he played for the Hornets, and people
who have watched this game say, I remember this game,
and people who will watched basketball regularly there was something off.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
He looked off that night. Well, he certainly did.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Well you've seen I'm sure you've seen the controversy, Dave
Portnoy from Bleacher I did.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
This was about the Raiders Sports start.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Yeah, about the Raiders. I mean that last night, Heith
has every reason. Listen. Part of what makes these things
entertaining is that it's entertaining to watch people lose their
minds over entertainment.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
So it was fourteen twenty four, Broncos are up in
Vegas and Pete Carroll I think there's seventeen seconds on
the clock and Pete Carroll's calling timeouts, the refs call
a delay of game like all this in this garbage time,
garbage game.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
It's over, no chance for the Raiders to come back
at all.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Yeah, it was odd, but there's been games like that
that's not I mean, it happens from time to time
where you're out there and you're like, what are we
doing here? Where the refs continue to follow the rules,
even if the way they would if the game was
a tie ball game or they were a field goal away.
They play the same game to the end of the clock.
(05:57):
And yes, sometimes you're like, what are we doing? Aren't
we going home?
Speaker 3 (06:00):
But that's kind of the way the crews work.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
That's the way they should work, right, Yeah, that's the
way they wanted. Golden Globe nominations came out. Paul Thomas
Anderson was really the big winner at this point. His
one battle after another with Leonardo DiCaprio and Sean penn
Et cetera. Nine nominations, adding to this momentum that this
thing is probably going to win Best Picture. There was
(06:23):
another movie I've never heard of before called Sentimental Value,
about a Norwegian family that is filmmakers, what eight nominations
for some of its actress Stellan Scars, Guard Elf Fanning,
a couple other people.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
I think that I would be on my top five
list of movies Gary would not watch in the year
twenty twenty five of just knowing the titles Sentimental Value Sinners.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Ryan Coogler's vampire hit was given seven awards by the nominations.
I should say, including a box office to achieve and
Michael B. Jordan for Best Actor, Coogler for Best Director,
Jay Kelly, which is the one, the new George Clooney
Adam Sandler movie, several of them.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
I'm to watch that after the show, when I've got
some time.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
To kill and tell me what you think. Because both
George Clooney and Adam Sandler were nominated for this.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Yeah I heard.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
I mean I read a review of it and Stacy
keaches in it and l is still alive.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
I didn't either. I had the same thun. I didn't
know you were loved. You were still with us, sir,
which is awful because he's probably not that old.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
But anyway, it looks good. I like the premise of
a jaded adult, you know, and it looks it looks
like a fun watch. I was surprised that it would
go so quickly in the review it said in theater's
November fourteenth, on Amazon or on Netflix December fifth, I'm like,
well that's a quick turnaround two weeks with names like
(07:59):
George Kloet me alone, George Glooney alone, let alone, George
Cloney and Adam Sandler.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Yeah, you mentioned the white Lotus. They had six nominations,
which leads all the TV categories. Also, Adolescence from Netflix
was the timing of it was right for it to
be part of the Emmys, but now they're saying that
this one is getting I think it's five nominations as
well for the limited series Adolescents, including I believe Supporting
(08:26):
Actor for the kid in that show, which was absolutely spectacular. Hey,
I wanted to do yet another thank you to everybody.
We do have some more numbers from our fifteenth annual
KFI Pastathon from last week. We came in so far
so far one point two eight nine million dollars, which
(08:51):
is right at the record year of one point three
million from a couple of years ago. And that's thirty
more thousand dollars than we raised last year. And in
terms of the pounds of pasta and sauce, we are
at ninety three thousand, four hundred and six pounds of
pasta and sauce that were that were donated this year to.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
THESTA a while to get through to bet.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
To benefit Katerina's Club. Again, think about this since twenty ten,
since this was started, since the KFI Pastathon became the
KFI pastathon you listeners have raised over nine point eight
million dollars and well over a million pounds of pasta
and sauce.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
You know, that's putting the thing that that I love
so much. I mean, I love the whole concept. I
love the fact that we get to play a part
in it. I'm so thankful that we get to be
involved in this. But the fact that this is taking
care of kids in our community, I think is what
makes it so rewarding. Because you know, we all live
(10:00):
and work and play in southern California. We don't see
the need and the hunger. And the fact that people
are receptive to the fact that it exists and not
only does it exist, but we're going to do something
about it makes me feel really proud to live here.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
I think we are also lucky because we've seen it
in action. Yeah, you know, having having been to that
Boys and Girls club in Long Beach and watched these
watch these volunteers that are part of Katerina's club, but
also see this mechanism and see the difference it makes
for some of these kids. It's pretty important.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
So you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
I didn't know if you were in the room.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Oh I was. You're just waiting for the It's amazing
the number of people come by when you're not here.
They want to chipchat.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Oh really, yeah, who's come by?
Speaker 2 (10:51):
I Eric came by. We were talking about some TV
shows and sports stuff and yeah, jingle bell.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
What are you trying to insinuate?
Speaker 4 (10:59):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (10:59):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Sometimes, well, when you were not here on Friday, a
number of people came by and say hello as well.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
A number of people, a number of people.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Sometimes you can act as the gatekeeper because you sit
closer to the door.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Oh so I'm the monster.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
No no, no, no, no, you're the troll that keeps
people out exactly. That's not what I meant. The President
at the White House right now, he's taking questions. One
of the things that he's been talking about is this
twelve billion dollar farm aid package boost of farmers who've
(11:33):
struggled to sell their crops while getting hit by the
rising costs because of the tariffs on China. Farmers have
backed the president politically in general, but the trade policies
and the changing the tariff rates have caused some consternations. Now,
shall we say among farmers. But again this was this
(11:54):
is a plan to put another twelve billion dollars into
farm aid. So well, as you can hear in the background,
Shannon's out at SOFI today getting ready for tonight's Monday
at our football game to eight and four teams Chargers.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
I just got a text from somebody on Instagram and
they're already set up in the tailgate area, already rare
in to go, getting their their pop tops all set up,
getting their chairs out. Monday night football, manned, it is
a party all day long.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
It's gotta be well, what time do they open the
parking lot for tailgating.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Well, there's tailgating areas that are not involved.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
In the parking lot, that's true. Yes, so like Thunderbolt Alley.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
I don't know when that opens, but those guys are
already out there. This is gonna be a fun one.
I mean, there's a lot on the line for both teams.
You know, you're looking at two eight and four teams.
Of course, the Super Bowl defending Super Bowl champions, who
have been down and out two back to back losses.
They've got something to prove here in prime time that
they're not they're not the Chiefs frankly not to not
(13:12):
to throw a salt in the wound of what.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
We saw last night.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
But the Chiefs fall from grace has been uh quick.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
It has been a quick one.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
And the Eagles want to show hey, we're still here
and we mean business and we're going to go the distance.
And yeah we've had a couple losses, but we're going
to show the nation in prime time. And the Chargers like,
H to the no. We are uh, we are not
so easily going to be rolled over. And guess what,
our number one running back is back tonight, So it
should be a fun one.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
H to the no.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
I don't know where that came from. I got fired up.
There was hype music playing.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Uh, you as hiked up as you were. You pulled
back on the h.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Yeah, I know, I gotta be careful.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
You know, you say hell one second and next second
it's mfor you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (13:55):
So you gotta you gotta slow the roll.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
I get it.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
And Shannon, Hey, my wife found on our way to
the game right now.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
I'm not unfortunately, but she's on our way to the game.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
So Shannon, if you see some lady come up to you,
if you want to take a selfie and ask you
why you're suspended.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Okay, suspended, suspended from coming into the building today. We
just we just couldn't do it on a Monday. You're
gonna have to do the show from somewhere else.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
We did get somebody who said that they did watch
that J Kelly movie. Uh yeah, George Clooney Adam Sandler
said it was the best movie they've seen in a
long time. Really.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Yeah, Oh, I'm looking forward to it then.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Yeah, so that'll be well not tonight though, Oh you
are going to watch it tonight.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
I don't watch thee I'm just trying to get some
steps in, take several laps around the stadium, I know,
work off the Is everybody else eating extra candy because
of the holidays or is that just me?
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Well, security guy gave us some toffee that his wife has.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
That's where it started. That's really that. That's really where
i'd started.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
On some bad diets. Every choice, man.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Oh toffee in the holidays, Oh toffee. I met a
listener through our show, Nita, and she makes the best toffee.
So that's what I do now. I usually it sees
candy for family and friends. And now I get Nita's toffee.
It is it's it's more personal and she puts bows
on it and stuff. And I mean, there's just something
about toffee that makes the calories disappear during the holidays
(15:31):
because of Santa.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Well that's not what happens, but I like the idea
of it. Just know that that's not exactly any way
it goes.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Oh, I can't just say things because of Santa.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Yeah, And why don't you make toffee?
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Why don't I I've never tried. I never I'd never
thought about it. Actually, I guess I could.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
I think you'd be great at it.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Thank you, thank you, And now.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
I will endeavor this, Okay, expect and you can buy
me new pants.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Let's just buy you some of those elastic clips that
make still wear your old pants. You just gotta let
them out a little bit.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
Yeah. You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Monday night Football Tonight. Here on KFI, you're going to
hear the Chargers host the Philadelphia Eagles. Be coming along.
Just after four o'clock is when the pregame starts, and
then kickoff is just after five a couple stories that
were following, the Supreme Court seems pretty likely to expand
presidential control over independent federal agencies, signaling support for President
(16:38):
Trump's firing of board members. The majority did suggest in
some arguments today that it could overturn a ninety year
old decision that has limited when a president can fire
an agency board member or leave it with only its
shell intact. So internationally, there was a bunch going on. British, French,
(16:58):
and German leaders met in London with President Zelenski in
a show of support for Kiev. What they said was
a critical moment in the US led effort to end
the war in Ukraine.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Hey, I have a.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Very important question that I would normally ask you off
the air, but since we're not together.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
It doesn't look infected to me. If that's what you're
gonna ask. Wait, that's good. Okay, that's good.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
I would hate for it to be infected the week
of your anniversary.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
That would be weird.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
So I see that we have like a flex show
coming up. In the next segment. We're going to do
Motivational Monday here right, yes, and then we kind of have.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Like a flex segment.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
We're either going to talk about the first giant panda
cub born in Indonesia, or we're going to talk about
how thirst traps and liking them on social media are
grounds for divorce according to a court. Now, the question
I'd ask you off the air is, hey, we're going
to do the panda next, so we can save the
(18:01):
thirst trap thing for tomorrow, because I think it's a
longer conversation, okay, of liking social media posts and how
that gets you into trouble.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Yeah right, Yeah, I agree. I think it would be
a longer conversation.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Do you think twice before you like, you know, Richie's posts?
Speaker 2 (18:21):
No, because I can easily explain those away.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
You can.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Okay, so you've but you've gone through the math in
your head already, which is why you had such a
quick answer for me. Yes, yes, yes, So we'll talk
about that tomorrow. We'll talk about the giant pandicap next.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
But first, but first a reheat and it's in honor
of the Chargers hosting the Eagles side the once great
Miami Sharks.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
The ww This Pacino.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Yeah, lost a couple of quarterbacks. They've been torn apart
by locker room disputes. Al Pacino plays. Their head coach
Tony Dematto has to get his team to come together
with their third string quarterback at the helm. He's got
to do it one inch and.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
One inch at a time.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
Time.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
For those of you who may not know, wait, got
that one that we are, Marshall, that's a sad one.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
You know, you get old in life, things get taken
from Wait, that's that's that's part of life.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
But you only learn that when.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
You start losing stuff.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
You find out life's.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
Just game of inches. So its football. The inches we
need are everywhere around us. They're in every break of
the game, every minute, every second.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
On this team, we fight for that inch.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
On this team, we tear ourselves and everyone else around
us to pieces for that inch.
Speaker 6 (19:54):
We craw with our fingernails with that inch because we
when we add up all those inches, that's gonna make
the difference between winning and loser, living and dying.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
I'll tell you this, In any fight, it's.
Speaker 5 (20:17):
The guy who's willing to die who's gonna win that itch.
And I know if I'm gonna have any life anymore,
it's because I'm still willing to fight and die for
that itch, because that's what living is.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Sensus in front of your face.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
No, I can't make you do it.
Speaker 6 (20:40):
You gotta look at the guy next to you, look
into his eyes. Now, I think you're gonna see a
guy who will go.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
That inch with you.
Speaker 5 (20:49):
You're gonna see a guy who will sacrifice himself for
this team because he knows, when it comes down to it,
you're gonna do the same for him. Okay, pats of tea,
gentlemen can either we here now as of tea. Well,
(21:11):
we will die as individuals, as football guys.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
That's all it is. Now, what are you gonna do.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
There?
Speaker 2 (21:29):
You go one inch at a time.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
I mean, I don't think anyone needs to die over it, right,
Like that's a little bit much.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Well, I mean it's dramatic, that's uh.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Yeah, I'm not saying no, but I'm not saying yes.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Al Pacino would make a chocolate chip cookie recipe seem dire.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
He would, he would, But I mean al Pacino, I mean,
which al Pacino.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Would get you to break through a brick wall?
Speaker 1 (21:58):
More Like, there's several al Pacino's, right, Like, several different
roles he's played.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Yeah, and we've used a couple of different times on
motivational Monday.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
We have like scent of a woman.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Yes, that I would go to war and fight alone
for al Pacino in that movie.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Yeah, that's a good one.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Mmm.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
I mean we could spend we could, we could spend
all day. I mean I do any I do a
lot of blow for that guy.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
That's probably not the same war.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
No, I mean like in the movie, in the movie.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Uh god, we could.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
We could wipe out John's show and just go through
you know, al Pacino's characters. Al Pacino's that guy, right, Like,
there's got to be a lot of that guy and
just who he is.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
But I don't know about lately, I mean really the
last couple of years, he has not looked healthy.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Oh well, how old is he? He's got his eighties.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Yeah, probably, I would say.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
He's probably eighty three. Let me google it here. He's
eighty five.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Wow, good for him.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Well he looks good for eighty five, but that he's
still eighty five.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
You know what I didn't know? And I was.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
I watch it every year I watch Christmas Vacation. It's
one of the first movies I watched in the holiday season.
He was married to Beverley DiAngelo, the wife Pacino was yeah, for.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
Like six years, late nineties, early aughts.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Sounds vaguely familiar, but.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
I didn't know that. I wouldn't have put them together.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
The first giant Pandicub Indonesia. We'll talk about that. Who Chune,
the fifteen year old.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Mother who tune dou Chune.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Hoo Chune, who Chune? Yeah, that's nice. What does that mean?
Speaker 2 (23:50):
I have no idea. Who's who's making noise with their mouth?
That's what that means. Hoo chun. Oh? I see, that's
so stupid. That's so stupid.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
I stupid, and you know what racist? And now you're
probably not going to be work tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Wait why was that racist? I don't know, it just
felt it just felt racist.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Justin our producer on the on the Football Show and
in the games, it's only hearing my.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
Side of the conversation. He's He's like, nope, keep going,
keep going right over. So much trouble you can get
into today.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
The story about Elena Habba. If you remember, President Trump's
former personal attorney, Alena Habba announced she's going to resign
as acting as attorney in New Jersey after this appeals
court last week disqualified her from the role. She was
appointed in March to serve temporarily. She'd have any prior
federal prosecutorial experience, and New Jersey's senators opposed her confirmation.
(24:58):
In July, a panorl panel federal judges replaced her with
a subordinate, but Attorney General Pambondi fired that replacement and
blamed all of this political motivation, et cetera. Earlier this month,
an appeals court formally disqualified her. So she has stepped
down in this similar to the arguments against the other
(25:23):
a US attorney who has been brought up a couple
times now. She was the one who was or her office,
i should say, was the one that was driving the
charges against former FBI Director James Coach Comy and New
York's Attorney General, Letitia James.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
So, so I have a little bit of panda confusion.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Okay, you seem very upset by this.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
No, no, no, no, I'm not upset.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
But this is the giant panda cub we were going
to talk about, was Indonesia, right, yes, and first first
locally born giant panda cubs. Yeah, Okay, I have a
different name for the panda than you do.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Okay, I've got this.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Panda that was born late last month and the president
named it Sa trio.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
We're a tama, which means that's right. You said, who chewing?
Speaker 2 (26:28):
That's the mom? Oh, the mom is who chewing?
Speaker 3 (26:33):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
I thought maybe we have met. We were duped or
something by some sake panda news.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
There's so many giant pandas being born in Indonesia that
we got them all mixed up.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
What do I smell? Is that meatballs?
Speaker 1 (26:48):
I feel like I smell meatballs?
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Anyway?
Speaker 1 (26:51):
The name sat trio, where a tama means a brave, noble,
little fighter with a kind heart.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
That's a lot. That's a lot of words.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
What does your name mean.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Uh, warrior carrying a spear?
Speaker 3 (27:05):
Does it really?
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Yeah, that's good. Mine means small and wise Gaelic?
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Well, fifty is not bad.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Oh, because you're a warrior. Well, I'm sorry, tell me
more about your cold.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
But you asked about it.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
I did, I did? I did. That was a trap.
So the nickname for this, for this bandos, the nickname is.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Rio Rio sat trio, Yeah, to rio right right right?
The stable showing early healthy signs, strong vocalization, which means
it's making all kinds of noise, effective nursing, and steady
weight gain. All of that is very important for a
for infant giant pandas.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Yeah, not for us.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
In December, right right, Yeah, Rio is expected to develop
better temperature control fur growth.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
They said, I'll open his eyes and move more in
the next several weeks.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Also, Oh, my goodness, dinky fuzzball with sparse hair and
pink and white skin.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Is that wait, are you talking about me again?
Speaker 3 (28:13):
No?
Speaker 1 (28:13):
No, no, From underneath his mother, he squeals pause, poking
up into the air.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
He is small, but he is noisy.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Again. I feel like that you're taking shots here quickly
at you. Yeah. Pandas are considered China's unofficial mass.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
I do like that you heard the term dinky fuzzball
and thought of yourself.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Well, I don't have a great I don't have a
lot of self esteem.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Did you get hair put on your chest with that Manhattan?
Did it cause growth? The man Oh my old fashion
or old fashion?
Speaker 2 (28:48):
No, it wasn't. It wasn't overly strong. It was just
a very well made drink. That's those sort of.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Isn't old fashion, just all booze though, like it's not
how can it not be strong?
Speaker 2 (28:59):
No subourbon and bitters and simple syrup and.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Yeah, I guess if you add more syrup, it's not
as boozy.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Yeah, I see, doesn't tend to be. China has been
loaning off a bunch of its animals to oversee zoos
they see as a tool of the soft powered diplomacy
known as panda diplomacy. Giant pandas have difficulty breeding births
are particularly welcomed. There are less than nineteen hundred giant
(29:29):
pandas in the world, apparently, and they're only wild habitats
in the Chinese provinces of Sichuan, sheg Shi, and Gangsu.
I think I'm saying those correctly.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
I think you got two out of three correct?
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Or is that just the chicken I don't know. I
don't know either spell differently than the chicken ignorant?
Speaker 2 (29:50):
And wow, you don't have to hate on yourself that much.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
Well, you started it.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
You said I was not small and wise. I don't
know if that no, I did say I'm stupid. I
haven't decided which one you're in favor of. Okay, so
when we come back, we won't be here. John will
be here, but we will see you tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
Hey, have fun tonight. When does well? Pregame starts an
hour for kickoff?
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Pree games start justin when is pre games.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Four or fifteen today? All right? And then kick off
five fifteen ish.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
Yes, it'll be nothing but fun, So stick around.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Conway's very upset that he's being preempted by the way
he sent me a hurtful text messages yesterday.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
Already he says, how old.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Were you in nineteen ninety five? And I already know
where he's going with this. You know, that's the last
time the Niners won the Super Bowl. And then he says, well,
I was fifty nine the last time the Rams won. Okay,
all right, all right, wise guy. And then he said
it's okay. I'm just hurt that I'm not going to
be on for the Chargers.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
And I said that's okay. Hurt people, hurt people. And
we hugged it.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Out over text, right, all right, Well, pregame four fifteen,
kick off five fifteen. We'll see you tomorrow. Stay drive everybody, blessings.
You've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show. 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):
Aut Shannon's it so fi. You can hear it in
the background there. Get ready for tonight's Monday night football game.
The Chargers are hosting the Philadelphia Eagles. Kickoff coming up
just after five o'clock tonight.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Big Game, Big Game, two eight and four teams, Eagles,
two back to back losses. I don't know if you
saw last week, but I was shocked when I'm watching
the I forget who they were playing. I think it
was awful. I think it was Eagle. It was the
Eagles Cowboys. They lose to the Cowboys at home. I
don't remember, but it was awful. And the fans start
(00:42):
booing the Eagles as they go into the locker room
before halftime.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
I'm like, y'all just won the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
You know you can handle a losing half of football.
You know. I get it that it was gonna be
the second loss, but they hadn't even lost yet they're booing.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
I'm like, my goodness.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Philadelphia has always had a reputation being hard for a
visiting team. But art for the home team, that was
a rough go. What else is going on? Time for
what's happening? Well? Paramount sky Dance has made a hostile
takeover bid for Warner Brothers Discovery. This came on the
(01:22):
heels of Netflix saying it had entered a deal with
Warner Brothers Discovery for about seventy billion. Paramount said it
would be fully this offer fully backstopped by the Ellison
Family and Redbird Capital, along with another fifty four billion
dollars of debt commitments from Bank of America and City
and Apollo, et cetera. This is not done as of
(01:45):
yet because Paramount Skydance says they're going to go straight
to the Warner Brothers stockholders in an attempt to kind
of do an end around to cut off the Netflix deal,
which would also still have to undergo all the regularatory approval,
et cetera, so it would take a long time year,
year and a half two years before it's efficient.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
There was a tsunami warning issued after a powerful seven
point six earthquakes struck off shore today in Japan. Authorities
warned that the northeastern coastline could see those towering waves.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
This was off off the coast of hawk I do
Hawky do?
Speaker 1 (02:25):
I don't know, But they said the hazardous waves possible
up to six hundred and twenty miles from the epicenter,
threatening both Japan and Russia.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
And I know it's not a whole lot. I mean,
it doesn't seem like a lot. This what is it
forty centimeters or fifteen inches of tsunami. It doesn't take much.
It's a lot more powerful than I think people can
wrap their heads around. A couple different examples of that already.
The winter storm that has caused some problems over the
(03:00):
most eastern states. Another quick hitting winter storm brewing in
the mid Atlantic Washington, d C, Virginia, Maryland. They also
the first snow of the season. Snow and sleep are
going to across are going to go across southern Virginia,
West Virginia, spreading all the way through North Carolina today.
This fast moving storm system sliding off of the East coast,
they said, taking advantage of the Arctic air that has
(03:23):
been in the region. And if you're on the old
twenty six, the sixty five to seventy seven, or the
eighty one, boy, it's going to be slick driving.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
The gambling scandal that hit was that last month is
headed to the courtroom. Miami Heat player Terry Rogier said
to appear today in federal court in Brooklyn on charges
he helped gamblers place bets on his own performance in NBA games.
He's thirty one, he's a point guard, and he will
be formally arraigned on federal wire fraud and money laundering
(03:52):
conspiracy charges. Always get you for the wire fraud and
the conspiracy. There's five other co defendants and lawyers for
this free trial hearing later in the day. One of
his lawyers deny the charges, saying that he was not
a gambler, looks forward to winning this fight. That is
not a defense to say that you're not a gambler.
(04:13):
You're gonna have to prove the doesn't like money. Put
on all the evidence it says he doesn't like money,
and we'll listen. More than thirty people have been arrested
in connection with this takedown of illegal gambling operations linked
to professional sports. And this is the one where you know,
you realize that the mafia is still very active and
wrapped up in this whole bit. They say that this guy,
(04:35):
this point guard conspired with friends to help them win
bets on his performance. It was a March twenty twenty
three game when he played for the Hornets, and people
who have watched this game say, I remember this game,
and people who will watched basketball regularly there was something off.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
He looked off that night. Well, he certainly did.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Well you've seen I'm sure you've seen the controversy, Dave
Portnoy from Bleacher I did.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
This was about the Raiders Sports start.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Yeah, about the Raiders. I mean that last night, Heith
has every reason. Listen. Part of what makes these things
entertaining is that it's entertaining to watch people lose their
minds over entertainment.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
So it was fourteen twenty four, Broncos are up in
Vegas and Pete Carroll I think there's seventeen seconds on
the clock and Pete Carroll's calling timeouts, the refs call
a delay of game like all this in this garbage time,
garbage game.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
It's over, no chance for the Raiders to come back
at all.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Yeah, it was odd, but there's been games like that
that's not I mean, it happens from time to time
where you're out there and you're like, what are we
doing here? Where the refs continue to follow the rules,
even if the way they would if the game was
a tie ball game or they were a field goal away.
They play the same game to the end of the clock.
(05:57):
And yes, sometimes you're like, what are we doing? Aren't
we going home?
Speaker 3 (06:00):
But that's kind of the way the crews work.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
That's the way they should work, right, Yeah, that's the
way they wanted. Golden Globe nominations came out. Paul Thomas
Anderson was really the big winner at this point. His
one battle after another with Leonardo DiCaprio and Sean penn
Et cetera. Nine nominations, adding to this momentum that this
thing is probably going to win Best Picture. There was
(06:23):
another movie I've never heard of before called Sentimental Value,
about a Norwegian family that is filmmakers, what eight nominations
for some of its actress Stellan Scars, Guard Elf Fanning,
a couple other people.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
I think that I would be on my top five
list of movies Gary would not watch in the year
twenty twenty five of just knowing the titles Sentimental Value Sinners.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Ryan Coogler's vampire hit was given seven awards by the nominations.
I should say, including a box office to achieve and
Michael B. Jordan for Best Actor, Coogler for Best Director,
Jay Kelly, which is the one, the new George Clooney
Adam Sandler movie, several of them.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
I'm to watch that after the show, when I've got
some time.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
To kill and tell me what you think. Because both
George Clooney and Adam Sandler were nominated for this.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Yeah I heard.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
I mean I read a review of it and Stacy
keaches in it and l is still alive.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
I didn't either. I had the same thun. I didn't
know you were loved. You were still with us, sir,
which is awful because he's probably not that old.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
But anyway, it looks good. I like the premise of
a jaded adult, you know, and it looks it looks
like a fun watch. I was surprised that it would
go so quickly in the review it said in theater's
November fourteenth, on Amazon or on Netflix December fifth, I'm like,
well that's a quick turnaround two weeks with names like
(07:59):
George Kloet me alone, George Glooney alone, let alone, George
Cloney and Adam Sandler.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Yeah, you mentioned the white Lotus. They had six nominations,
which leads all the TV categories. Also, Adolescence from Netflix
was the timing of it was right for it to
be part of the Emmys, but now they're saying that
this one is getting I think it's five nominations as
well for the limited series Adolescents, including I believe Supporting
(08:26):
Actor for the kid in that show, which was absolutely spectacular. Hey,
I wanted to do yet another thank you to everybody.
We do have some more numbers from our fifteenth annual
KFI Pastathon from last week. We came in so far
so far one point two eight nine million dollars, which
(08:51):
is right at the record year of one point three
million from a couple of years ago. And that's thirty
more thousand dollars than we raised last year. And in
terms of the pounds of pasta and sauce, we are
at ninety three thousand, four hundred and six pounds of
pasta and sauce that were that were donated this year to.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
THESTA a while to get through to bet.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
To benefit Katerina's Club. Again, think about this since twenty ten,
since this was started, since the KFI Pastathon became the
KFI pastathon you listeners have raised over nine point eight
million dollars and well over a million pounds of pasta
and sauce.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
You know, that's putting the thing that that I love
so much. I mean, I love the whole concept. I
love the fact that we get to play a part
in it. I'm so thankful that we get to be
involved in this. But the fact that this is taking
care of kids in our community, I think is what
makes it so rewarding. Because you know, we all live
(10:00):
and work and play in southern California. We don't see
the need and the hunger. And the fact that people
are receptive to the fact that it exists and not
only does it exist, but we're going to do something
about it makes me feel really proud to live here.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
I think we are also lucky because we've seen it
in action. Yeah, you know, having having been to that
Boys and Girls club in Long Beach and watched these
watch these volunteers that are part of Katerina's club, but
also see this mechanism and see the difference it makes
for some of these kids. It's pretty important.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
So you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
I didn't know if you were in the room.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Oh I was. You're just waiting for the It's amazing
the number of people come by when you're not here.
They want to chipchat.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Oh really, yeah, who's come by?
Speaker 2 (10:51):
I Eric came by. We were talking about some TV
shows and sports stuff and yeah, jingle bell.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
What are you trying to insinuate?
Speaker 4 (10:59):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (10:59):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Sometimes, well, when you were not here on Friday, a
number of people came by and say hello as well.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
A number of people, a number of people.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Sometimes you can act as the gatekeeper because you sit
closer to the door.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Oh so I'm the monster.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
No no, no, no, no, you're the troll that keeps
people out exactly. That's not what I meant. The President
at the White House right now, he's taking questions. One
of the things that he's been talking about is this
twelve billion dollar farm aid package boost of farmers who've
(11:33):
struggled to sell their crops while getting hit by the
rising costs because of the tariffs on China. Farmers have
backed the president politically in general, but the trade policies
and the changing the tariff rates have caused some consternations. Now,
shall we say among farmers. But again this was this
(11:54):
is a plan to put another twelve billion dollars into
farm aid. So well, as you can hear in the background,
Shannon's out at SOFI today getting ready for tonight's Monday
at our football game to eight and four teams Chargers.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
I just got a text from somebody on Instagram and
they're already set up in the tailgate area, already rare
in to go, getting their their pop tops all set up,
getting their chairs out. Monday night football, manned, it is
a party all day long.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
It's gotta be well, what time do they open the
parking lot for tailgating.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Well, there's tailgating areas that are not involved.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
In the parking lot, that's true. Yes, so like Thunderbolt Alley.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
I don't know when that opens, but those guys are
already out there. This is gonna be a fun one.
I mean, there's a lot on the line for both teams.
You know, you're looking at two eight and four teams.
Of course, the Super Bowl defending Super Bowl champions, who
have been down and out two back to back losses.
They've got something to prove here in prime time that
they're not they're not the Chiefs frankly not to not
(13:12):
to throw a salt in the wound of what.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
We saw last night.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
But the Chiefs fall from grace has been uh quick.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
It has been a quick one.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
And the Eagles want to show hey, we're still here
and we mean business and we're going to go the distance.
And yeah we've had a couple losses, but we're going
to show the nation in prime time. And the Chargers like,
H to the no. We are uh, we are not
so easily going to be rolled over. And guess what,
our number one running back is back tonight, So it
should be a fun one.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
H to the no.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
I don't know where that came from. I got fired up.
There was hype music playing.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Uh, you as hiked up as you were. You pulled
back on the h.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Yeah, I know, I gotta be careful.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
You know, you say hell one second and next second
it's mfor you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (13:55):
So you gotta you gotta slow the roll.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
I get it.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
And Shannon, Hey, my wife found on our way to
the game right now.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
I'm not unfortunately, but she's on our way to the game.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
So Shannon, if you see some lady come up to you,
if you want to take a selfie and ask you
why you're suspended.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Okay, suspended, suspended from coming into the building today. We
just we just couldn't do it on a Monday. You're
gonna have to do the show from somewhere else.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
We did get somebody who said that they did watch
that J Kelly movie. Uh yeah, George Clooney Adam Sandler
said it was the best movie they've seen in a
long time. Really.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Yeah, Oh, I'm looking forward to it then.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Yeah, so that'll be well not tonight though, Oh you
are going to watch it tonight.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
I don't watch thee I'm just trying to get some
steps in, take several laps around the stadium, I know,
work off the Is everybody else eating extra candy because
of the holidays or is that just me?
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Well, security guy gave us some toffee that his wife has.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
That's where it started. That's really that. That's really where
i'd started.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
On some bad diets. Every choice, man.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Oh toffee in the holidays, Oh toffee. I met a
listener through our show, Nita, and she makes the best toffee.
So that's what I do now. I usually it sees
candy for family and friends. And now I get Nita's toffee.
It is it's it's more personal and she puts bows
on it and stuff. And I mean, there's just something
about toffee that makes the calories disappear during the holidays
(15:31):
because of Santa.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Well that's not what happens, but I like the idea
of it. Just know that that's not exactly any way
it goes.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Oh, I can't just say things because of Santa.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Yeah, And why don't you make toffee?
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Why don't I I've never tried. I never I'd never
thought about it. Actually, I guess I could.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
I think you'd be great at it.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Thank you, thank you, And now.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
I will endeavor this, Okay, expect and you can buy
me new pants.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Let's just buy you some of those elastic clips that
make still wear your old pants. You just gotta let
them out a little bit.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
Yeah. You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Monday night Football Tonight. Here on KFI, you're going to
hear the Chargers host the Philadelphia Eagles. Be coming along.
Just after four o'clock is when the pregame starts, and
then kickoff is just after five a couple stories that
were following, the Supreme Court seems pretty likely to expand
presidential control over independent federal agencies, signaling support for President
(16:38):
Trump's firing of board members. The majority did suggest in
some arguments today that it could overturn a ninety year
old decision that has limited when a president can fire
an agency board member or leave it with only its
shell intact. So internationally, there was a bunch going on. British, French,
(16:58):
and German leaders met in London with President Zelenski in
a show of support for Kiev. What they said was
a critical moment in the US led effort to end
the war in Ukraine.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Hey, I have a.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Very important question that I would normally ask you off
the air, but since we're not together.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
It doesn't look infected to me. If that's what you're
gonna ask. Wait, that's good. Okay, that's good.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
I would hate for it to be infected the week
of your anniversary.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
That would be weird.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
So I see that we have like a flex show
coming up. In the next segment. We're going to do
Motivational Monday here right, yes, and then we kind of have.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Like a flex segment.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
We're either going to talk about the first giant panda
cub born in Indonesia, or we're going to talk about
how thirst traps and liking them on social media are
grounds for divorce according to a court. Now, the question
I'd ask you off the air is, hey, we're going
to do the panda next, so we can save the
(18:01):
thirst trap thing for tomorrow, because I think it's a
longer conversation, okay, of liking social media posts and how
that gets you into trouble.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Yeah right, Yeah, I agree. I think it would be
a longer conversation.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Do you think twice before you like, you know, Richie's posts?
Speaker 2 (18:21):
No, because I can easily explain those away.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
You can.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Okay, so you've but you've gone through the math in
your head already, which is why you had such a
quick answer for me. Yes, yes, yes, So we'll talk
about that tomorrow. We'll talk about the giant pandicap next.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
But first, but first a reheat and it's in honor
of the Chargers hosting the Eagles side the once great
Miami Sharks.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
The ww This Pacino.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Yeah, lost a couple of quarterbacks. They've been torn apart
by locker room disputes. Al Pacino plays. Their head coach
Tony Dematto has to get his team to come together
with their third string quarterback at the helm. He's got
to do it one inch and.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
One inch at a time.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
Time.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
For those of you who may not know, wait, got
that one that we are, Marshall, that's a sad one.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
You know, you get old in life, things get taken
from Wait, that's that's that's part of life.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
But you only learn that when.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
You start losing stuff.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
You find out life's.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
Just game of inches. So its football. The inches we
need are everywhere around us. They're in every break of
the game, every minute, every second.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
On this team, we fight for that inch.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
On this team, we tear ourselves and everyone else around
us to pieces for that inch.
Speaker 6 (19:54):
We craw with our fingernails with that inch because we
when we add up all those inches, that's gonna make
the difference between winning and loser, living and dying.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
I'll tell you this, In any fight, it's.
Speaker 5 (20:17):
The guy who's willing to die who's gonna win that itch.
And I know if I'm gonna have any life anymore,
it's because I'm still willing to fight and die for
that itch, because that's what living is.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Sensus in front of your face.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
No, I can't make you do it.
Speaker 6 (20:40):
You gotta look at the guy next to you, look
into his eyes. Now, I think you're gonna see a
guy who will go.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
That inch with you.
Speaker 5 (20:49):
You're gonna see a guy who will sacrifice himself for
this team because he knows, when it comes down to it,
you're gonna do the same for him. Okay, pats of tea,
gentlemen can either we here now as of tea. Well,
(21:11):
we will die as individuals, as football guys.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
That's all it is. Now, what are you gonna do.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
There?
Speaker 2 (21:29):
You go one inch at a time.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
I mean, I don't think anyone needs to die over it, right,
Like that's a little bit much.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Well, I mean it's dramatic, that's uh.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Yeah, I'm not saying no, but I'm not saying yes.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Al Pacino would make a chocolate chip cookie recipe seem dire.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
He would, he would, But I mean al Pacino, I mean,
which al Pacino.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Would get you to break through a brick wall?
Speaker 1 (21:58):
More Like, there's several al Pacino's, right, Like, several different
roles he's played.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Yeah, and we've used a couple of different times on
motivational Monday.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
We have like scent of a woman.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Yes, that I would go to war and fight alone
for al Pacino in that movie.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Yeah, that's a good one.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Mmm.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
I mean we could spend we could, we could spend
all day. I mean I do any I do a
lot of blow for that guy.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
That's probably not the same war.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
No, I mean like in the movie, in the movie.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Uh god, we could.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
We could wipe out John's show and just go through
you know, al Pacino's characters. Al Pacino's that guy, right, Like,
there's got to be a lot of that guy and
just who he is.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
But I don't know about lately, I mean really the
last couple of years, he has not looked healthy.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Oh well, how old is he? He's got his eighties.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Yeah, probably, I would say.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
He's probably eighty three. Let me google it here. He's
eighty five.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Wow, good for him.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Well he looks good for eighty five, but that he's
still eighty five.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
You know what I didn't know? And I was.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
I watch it every year I watch Christmas Vacation. It's
one of the first movies I watched in the holiday season.
He was married to Beverley DiAngelo, the wife Pacino was yeah, for.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
Like six years, late nineties, early aughts.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Sounds vaguely familiar, but.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
I didn't know that. I wouldn't have put them together.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
The first giant Pandicub Indonesia. We'll talk about that. Who Chune,
the fifteen year old.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Mother who tune dou Chune.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Hoo Chune, who Chune? Yeah, that's nice. What does that mean?
Speaker 2 (23:50):
I have no idea. Who's who's making noise with their mouth?
That's what that means. Hoo chun. Oh? I see, that's
so stupid. That's so stupid.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
I stupid, and you know what racist? And now you're
probably not going to be work tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Wait why was that racist? I don't know, it just
felt it just felt racist.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Justin our producer on the on the Football Show and
in the games, it's only hearing my.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
Side of the conversation. He's He's like, nope, keep going,
keep going right over. So much trouble you can get
into today.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
The story about Elena Habba. If you remember, President Trump's
former personal attorney, Alena Habba announced she's going to resign
as acting as attorney in New Jersey after this appeals
court last week disqualified her from the role. She was
appointed in March to serve temporarily. She'd have any prior
federal prosecutorial experience, and New Jersey's senators opposed her confirmation.
(24:58):
In July, a panorl panel federal judges replaced her with
a subordinate, but Attorney General Pambondi fired that replacement and
blamed all of this political motivation, et cetera. Earlier this month,
an appeals court formally disqualified her. So she has stepped
down in this similar to the arguments against the other
(25:23):
a US attorney who has been brought up a couple
times now. She was the one who was or her office,
i should say, was the one that was driving the
charges against former FBI Director James Coach Comy and New
York's Attorney General, Letitia James.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
So, so I have a little bit of panda confusion.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Okay, you seem very upset by this.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
No, no, no, no, I'm not upset.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
But this is the giant panda cub we were going
to talk about, was Indonesia, right, yes, and first first
locally born giant panda cubs. Yeah, Okay, I have a
different name for the panda than you do.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Okay, I've got this.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Panda that was born late last month and the president
named it Sa trio.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
We're a tama, which means that's right. You said, who chewing?
Speaker 2 (26:28):
That's the mom? Oh, the mom is who chewing?
Speaker 3 (26:33):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
I thought maybe we have met. We were duped or
something by some sake panda news.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
There's so many giant pandas being born in Indonesia that
we got them all mixed up.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
What do I smell? Is that meatballs?
Speaker 1 (26:48):
I feel like I smell meatballs?
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Anyway?
Speaker 1 (26:51):
The name sat trio, where a tama means a brave, noble,
little fighter with a kind heart.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
That's a lot. That's a lot of words.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
What does your name mean.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Uh, warrior carrying a spear?
Speaker 3 (27:05):
Does it really?
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Yeah, that's good. Mine means small and wise Gaelic?
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Well, fifty is not bad.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Oh, because you're a warrior. Well, I'm sorry, tell me
more about your cold.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
But you asked about it.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
I did, I did? I did. That was a trap.
So the nickname for this, for this bandos, the nickname is.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Rio Rio sat trio, Yeah, to rio right right right?
The stable showing early healthy signs, strong vocalization, which means
it's making all kinds of noise, effective nursing, and steady
weight gain. All of that is very important for a
for infant giant pandas.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Yeah, not for us.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
In December, right right, Yeah, Rio is expected to develop
better temperature control fur growth.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
They said, I'll open his eyes and move more in
the next several weeks.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Also, Oh, my goodness, dinky fuzzball with sparse hair and
pink and white skin.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Is that wait, are you talking about me again?
Speaker 3 (28:13):
No?
Speaker 1 (28:13):
No, no, From underneath his mother, he squeals pause, poking
up into the air.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
He is small, but he is noisy.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Again. I feel like that you're taking shots here quickly
at you. Yeah. Pandas are considered China's unofficial mass.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
I do like that you heard the term dinky fuzzball
and thought of yourself.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Well, I don't have a great I don't have a
lot of self esteem.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Did you get hair put on your chest with that Manhattan?
Did it cause growth? The man Oh my old fashion
or old fashion?
Speaker 2 (28:48):
No, it wasn't. It wasn't overly strong. It was just
a very well made drink. That's those sort of.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Isn't old fashion, just all booze though, like it's not
how can it not be strong?
Speaker 2 (28:59):
No subourbon and bitters and simple syrup and.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Yeah, I guess if you add more syrup, it's not
as boozy.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Yeah, I see, doesn't tend to be. China has been
loaning off a bunch of its animals to oversee zoos
they see as a tool of the soft powered diplomacy
known as panda diplomacy. Giant pandas have difficulty breeding births
are particularly welcomed. There are less than nineteen hundred giant
(29:29):
pandas in the world, apparently, and they're only wild habitats
in the Chinese provinces of Sichuan, sheg Shi, and Gangsu.
I think I'm saying those correctly.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
I think you got two out of three correct?
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Or is that just the chicken I don't know. I
don't know either spell differently than the chicken ignorant?
Speaker 2 (29:50):
And wow, you don't have to hate on yourself that much.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
Well, you started it.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
You said I was not small and wise. I don't
know if that no, I did say I'm stupid. I
haven't decided which one you're in favor of. Okay, so
when we come back, we won't be here. John will
be here, but we will see you tomorrow.

he sent me a hurtful text messages yesterday.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
Already he says, how old.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Were you in nineteen ninety five? And I already know

time the Niners won the Super Bowl. And then he says, well,
I was fifty nine the last time the Rams won. Okay,

it's okay. I'm just hurt that I'm not going to
