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. Clear out the cobwebs and the
old brain. But it's nice to be back.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
To drive in traffic again. Then that's always.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
I was appalled today by people's behavior on the commute.
I thought I did not miss this. I did not
miss people behaving the way that they do. And it's
Monday morning behavior. It's first day of work, work back
for people in many cases, and it's also holiday. People
who are out there who have no business driving, who
(00:39):
are not used to driving, who are distracted and they
act a fool.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Yeah, and Linda and Uncle Bob who've been visiting from
Omaha all weekend and decided that they were going to
wait until like Monday or Tuesday to go back because
they wanted to avoid the travel rush.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
They're still out there.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
I feel bad for Linda and Bob because they're from
Omaha and they're not used to a holes like we are.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
I are not used to it.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
But I have a quick question. Yeah, something that came up.
I just recently went back into the world of Facebook.
I was kind of gone for a while and then
meta to this thing where if you would post something
on Instagram, it would post something on Facebook as well,
which I just allowed to happen. But it opens back
up the Facebook Pandora's box, if you will. Now, I
(01:24):
was wondering because I haven't seen this in uh since
two thousand and eight, but I got I got a
poke on Facebook. Someone poked me. Now, what what does
that mean? In the Year of Our Lord twenty twenty five?
When someone pokes you on Facebook?
Speaker 2 (01:39):
That you is that? What is it?
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Is it it getting handsy at that point?
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Is it just a friendly poke? Is it a hey?
How are you doing? I haven't seen you in twenty
four years?
Speaker 2 (01:50):
For still a while.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
I just like trying to move it to see if
it still has any breath left in it? Or what
do you? What are you poking?
Speaker 2 (01:57):
What?
Speaker 1 (01:57):
What's going on with the post? Actually say you got
said so and so poked you? And I haven't seen
that since two thousand and eight. And I remember back
in two thousand and eight, it was kind of suspect
when someone would poke you. You know, you're kind of
like beware of that guy. But now does it mean
something different?
Speaker 2 (02:16):
I don't even know if I wouldn't know how to
go on there.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
And I wouldn't know how to do the said action.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
I don't and either I'm so out of practice, I
don't know how to poke.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
In all honesty, if you had said that, I would
have said immediately, I would have said, oh, that's a
scam from somebody.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Oh, like that's my gut. Reaction is like, they don't
even do that anymore on Facebook.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Wait, don't poke back, the irs will come for you.
Oh fine, Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
You got to drive a lot over the last couple
of weeks, right because you were in Utah, Yes, and
then drove your way back into California. I was in
a couple of airplanes. Now granted I took minor league airports.
I was in Burbank and I was in Dallas love Field.
It was perfect, Oh good, it was. It was wonderful,
and there was a lot of concern. There was rain
(03:07):
and Dallas when we were headed there. There was rain
in Dallas when when we were headed out. Both flights,
even though they were late in the day and southwest,
which is usually a gamble, both flights were maybe fifteen
minutes delay.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
That's all Yeah, it was.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
It was wonderful. It was easy to fly, it was great.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
And I know that that's the vast majority of people
will not have problems when they fly, but there are
big weather issues, especially today.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Every time I have flown on Thanksgiving or on Christmas,
it has been a delight.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Oh, you pick the day, the day.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
And I was thinking about that for Christmas. I think
I'm going to go up and see my family was
with my husband's family this Thanksgiving and I was thinking,
if I go up there, I'm going to get in
and I'm going to get out. I'm going to get
in on Christmas and get out the next morning.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
This is perfect. I mean, it's a way.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
I've done that too, flying on the actual holiday, and
it's amazing how much of it.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
It's great. Yeah, because nobody wants you. Nobody wants to
do that.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
There, but especially if you have a relatively short flight,
if you're going from here to northern California, it's an
easy way. Yesterday, there were eleven cancelations at LAX, about
a thousand cancelations around the country because of some weather issues.
Today it's not as bad, but it could be. As
of right now, they said there's about three hundred plus
(04:24):
three hundred and twenty cancelations throughout the United States. Most
of those, most of the impacted airport is or I
should say the most impacted airport right now is Chicago
O'Hare and that's because of weather. It also happens to
be a hub for different airlines. So once they had
problems in the middle of the country like that, they're
(04:46):
going to see problems throughout the rest of throughout the
rest of the area.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
But we'll update that throughout the time.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
The other thing that we noticed, my wife and I
had a pretty we picked if you know where Dallas
love Field. We picked the man Gione's rest. Sorry, that's
not the right word. Maggianos Mangioni is in court today,
Luigi's in court. We went to Magiano's there at Dallas
love Field because there is perfect seating on watching the
(05:13):
people walk in and out of the terminal like it
is the perfect vantage point.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
And we just took.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
This entire conversation about people wearing pajamas at the airport,
that whole discussion from Sean Duffy, the Secretary of Transportation,
suggesting we try to class it up a little bit.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
We spent an hour.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
And addressed to that. Oh, I can't wait to hear it.
This has been my complaint for years recently.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
But there is an opposite side to it, which I
would never have thought of.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Please rationalize pajamas in public for me. Please do it.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
I got a piece of mail. Should we open it together?
Speaker 3 (06:02):
That The box has been in the office for about
two weeks. I think it's addressed to me. It's just
a regular Amazon box.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
It doesn't smell weird.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
It's not like a three week old taco or.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Oh, it's a book. It's Leanne Morgan's book. Where did
you get I don't know who gave it to me.
Let's see.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Oh was it really a gift?
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Oh yeah, enjoy your gift. I moved to Tennessee eleven
years ago after sixty eight years in California, but I
still listen to y'all every day from Tony.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Oh that's very nice.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Oh cool? What in the world is the name of it?
By Leanne Morgan. A Southern Woman's guide to laughing at
life's unexpected curveballs and beautiful blessings. I am so excited.
I didn't know she had a book. Yeah, oh, thank you, Tony.
This is very cool. This is the best listener package
we've gotten in a long time.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Very very nice.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
I mean the socks were nice, but they were used
and it was just a different gift. It wasn't that
I didn't appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Tomorrow is our pasta thought and by the way, our
fifteenth annual KFI Pastathon live broadcast is tomorrow, Giving Tuesday,
Amy and everybody, starting at five o'clock in the morning
all the way through eight o'clock tomorrow night at the
Anaheim White House Restaurant. Of course, Chef Bruno's charity, Katerina's Club,

KFI listener, You are the ones that make this happen.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
You can donate anytime at KFI AM six forty dot
com slash Pastathon. One hundred percent of your donation goes
to Katerina's Club. By the way, our auction item, the
Dodgers game in the suite is like four dollars or something.
The last time four seventy five. Yeah, I saw nobody
has been on it. Really, it's the cheapest it's ever
been by far.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Which is a guaranteed good time.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
We are a really good time. Like I'm sorry, I'm
not going to put down John good time or Dean
and Tina Sharp or doctor Wendy or Bill Handle or
Lindsey Handle or Nil Savedra or Angel Martinez is sandals.
I'm looking at all the auction items, but we are
the best time by far.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
I don't know why that's hard to.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
I mean, it's not even a contest. Uh and the
Dodgers World Series Champion. That's the other thing in the suite.
We're not the highlight.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
If you don't like us, that's totally fine.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Nothing to do with us.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
You get to sit in the suite and eat all
you want.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
You can walk in and say, you two, shut the
hell up. I'm here to enjoy the game. We'll say absolutely.
You can walk in and say I just want to
throw stuff at Gary for three and a half hours,
fine by us.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
I will take it.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
He'll dance on the on the countertop for you.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
As long as the.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Door is closed, the door is always closed. It's a
weighted locked door.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
I know. That's what I'm saying. I don't want anybody
to that's why.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
It's because of your dancing. After you did it that
one year, they had to put in new security protocols.
They put because there was a little girl that walked
in and you were bare ass in it on the bar.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
That's not that there was not a little girl. It
was Tommy Lasorda. That was a very different time.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Anyway.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Kfiam six forty dot com. Slash Pastathon is where you'll
find all of those auction items and of course we'll
talk about it a lot tomorrow. Sean Duffy, Secretary Transportation, be.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
Nice, say please, say thank you. Bringing civility back. I
think enhances the travel experience for everybody. And so sometimes
you just have to ask people, hey, let's maybe go
back to an era where we didn't wear our pajamas
to the airport. Man, we actually might dress up a
little bit. And if someone needs help putting their luggage
up in the overhead bin, yeah, help.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Them out, Yeah, help them out.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
That was an interview that he did after this video
came out, and the video was very similar and just
in terms of hey, let's just be nice to each other,
and everybody's going through it. Like everybody. We all know
that traveling can be a nightmare. You don't have to
make it worse by being a complete a hole to
the piece.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
I smile can be a gift. You gift to people.
It's free. Just be kind. I wear hard effing pants,
I said, Please, nobody wants to see your genitals through
old sweatpants, Sir, I don't, I do not. I don't
know you. I don't know you. I don't want to
see your dangly bits through sweat pants that have been
(10:17):
through the laundry for seventeen years.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Circumcision.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
So a couple of people had said, okay, well, if
they want, if they whoever the general they want us
to act better and be nicer and dress up, then
let's lower the ticket prices or something like that. Or
let's have the people behind the ticket counter or at
the gate be a little nicer as well.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Why do we need an incentive to be civil and
dressed appropriately.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Well, my argument was, I've in my times traveling.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Again, I'm not the world's most experienced traveler, but those
times when I sit, say at the gate, I think
I told you when I was flying.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Back from Sacramento.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
One time there was a flight that was delayed and
then it was going to be canceled, and then they
got everybody on another flight, and people were losing their
effing minds and taking it out on the Southwest gate
attend who hasn't no idea what's wrong with the airplane
and why they're taking out of service and is not
withholding their air conditioning expertise that would allow that plane
(11:20):
to be back in service at some point. But they
they you know, every ounce of anger they have, they
take out on that gate agent. Whereas if you walk
up to the gate agent and you go, hey, I'm
in a bad position. I need to be back in
Burbank by tonight. Is there any way that you can
help me out? They're going to be a thousand times
more likely to greet you with a smile and say
(11:42):
I'm really sorry about this. You know, things happen. Let
me see what I can do. The gatekeepers have it
the hardest.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Yeah, you know, I got locked out of my phone,
stopped recognizing my face. Is what happened a few days ago.
Face ID does not work. I don't know what happened.
Are you ready for jokes on that or I wait
or should I wait? I'm always ready, I'm totally ready.
I haven't been made fun of because I've been with
my kind husband, so I haven't had jokes like your
(12:09):
type of jokes for two weeks. You know, he didn't
call me old, he didn't call me fat, he didn't
say an he'd work done, so bring it on. But yeah,
it stopped recognizing my face, so I couldn't get into
my bank account. So of course I called the customer
service number after going through the rigmarole of choosing a
new password, the bank giving me a new password using
(12:30):
that that working, so I call the eight hundred number.
I waited for four to six minutes, which turned out
to be seven to nine minutes after having them call
me back, which is the quickest way to get service.
And then when they called me back, instead of hitting
the green button on the screen, I hit the red
button by accident because I'm seventy six, and so I
screwed up my place in line. So then I had
(12:51):
to call back again. And by the time I got
CHERI in Nevada on customer service and she said, I'm
going to give you a new password and We'll see
how that works. I said, Schari, I already tried this
new password stuff and it did not work for me.
So I'm just letting you know. And poor Cherie she
didn't know through my journey. She wasn't on my journey
with me. She's catching you, And Suri was right, and
so then I become and it worked, and then I
(13:13):
become a bumbling idiot. You know what, Suri, I'm really sorry.
I was short with you for no reason. That was ridiculous.
I apologize you didn't know my password journey, and here
we are, and I said it to her, and then
she was like, if you could just fill out the
questionnaire that they're gonna send you, it's all good. And
I was like, thank you, Nevada.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
I just spent forty five minutes. I don't want to
spend another five on a questionnaire.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
I stopped short of saying, do you know Elko, Nevada?
I just stopped in Elko, Nevada. I ever played the
Maverick Casino. I stopped at the Maverick Casino. I played
for five minutes. I got a royal flush. sureI true
story the Maverick in Elko.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Meanwhile, she's like, you know what, I gotta I gotta go.
I got other customers.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
When we come back, Secretary of Defense Pete haggsaf under
fire and now Congress is going to be breathing down
his neck. We'll talk about what he is accused of
doing when we come back.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
We've got some Richard Dreyfus news. I saw this over
the weekend that apparently as kids are no longer talking
to him, we've got some ideas about.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Why we're going to buckle up and go back in
the Gary and Shannon Show time machine and listen to
our interview from Richard Dreyfus from February of twenty sixteen.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
My goodness. But if you're just joining us, first of all,
you've missed a lot, So make sure to check on
the podcast. Subscribe to the podcast wherever you get your
podcasts at Gary and Shannon, and make sure that you
subscribe because then you get the bonus podcast as well.
It'll just appear on Saturday. It's like a little gift.
Speaking of gifts, we have our most favorite day of
(14:56):
the year and it's tomorrow and it happens to be
the fifteenth annual KFI Pastathon. What is the fifteenth? Is
that like silver or something? What is that?
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Whoah?
Speaker 1 (15:08):
As many moons ago for you?
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Paper?
Speaker 1 (15:11):
I don't think it's paper.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Most of the time it's paper. No, it's more than paper.
I think the fifth is paper. The fifteenth is card stock,
like a not quite card board.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
But this is Giving Tuesday and it is our postathon.
You know the drill. We'll be at the Anaheim white
House all day. If you listen to Amy King at
five am every morning, you are going to be blown
away by seeing and being with Amy King at five am.
That is when we kick this off there at the
Anaheim white House and go all through the day and
the evening. It's the feel good way to start the season.
(15:45):
It makes you feel so good to kick off the
holiday season by donating to hungry kids. You don't see
these hungry kids when you go to Orange County. No,
you go to the beach, you go maybe out to
eat or something, but they are there and Chef Brune feeds.
Is it more than twenty five thousand a week?
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Two thousand a week?
Speaker 1 (16:04):
So this is where your money goes to one hundred
percent of your donation goes to Katerina's club.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Yes, it is open to the public.
Speaker 6 (16:12):
By the way, I've got a question, Yes, sir, are
poor people allowed at the pasta down tomorrow? Because I've
been wanting to see a Scary and Shannon show for
quite a long time, usually working on Thursdays in the
mornings and never able to get out to the news
and brus But I don't have enough money to donate
(16:35):
anything at the moment.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Hey, not only are poor people allowed, but handle will
feed you. There's coffee, there's bagels there in the morning,
So show up, get yourself a breakfast, enjoy yourself, have fun.
We mentioned the weather. It is going to be cool
this week.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Some powerful winds are expected to be rolling in that
could drop temperatures.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
In the mornings. Oh, so bring a scarf, bring a
scarf tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
I meant of cold in there from what I remember.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
President Trump yesterday said that he has great confidence that
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth did not give a spoken order
to kill all the crew members aboard one of those
smuggling boats in the Caribbean. Back at the beginning of September,
Trump said that the Secretary of Defense told him specifically,
he did not say that.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
I believe him.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Now, this goes back to like I said, beginning of September,
the first few attacks on what we believe our drug
smuggling boats out in the Caribbean, and a live drone
feed showed two survivors from an original crew of eleven,
and the two survivors were clinging to the wreckage of
(17:46):
their boat after a one of America's finest missiles blew
the thing into splinters there in the Caribbean. Now, the
Special Operations commander, who was overseeing the mission, ordered a
second strike to kill the two survivors. The question becomes
was it ordered by the Secretary of Defense. According to
(18:11):
people with direct knowledge of the operation, They told the
Washington Post that Pete hagg Seth basically gave the order,
I don't care if they're still alive, kill them all.
That would be a violation of the Geneva Convention. Once
you knock somebody out of the fight, in very vague terms,
(18:34):
you do not kill them. That would become illegal according
to international war law, if you want.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
To put it that way.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
There are those two people quoted in the Washington Post,
along with five others are all being anonymous. They're all
keeping themselves quiet. Washington Post is not reporting who they are.
Trump had said he's going to look into the issue.
He said, I would not have wanted that, would not
want a second strike.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
The first strike was very lethal.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
This is going to cause problems for Pete Hegsef because
right now we know that Congress is starting to sniff
around in all of this, and one of the things
that they have suggested is if they are able to
find information that Pete Haggseth broke the law by ordering
that second strike, it's going to be bad news for him.
(19:27):
This is a Republican Mike Turner out of Ohio.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
What is your view and what questions do you have
for the Pentagon.
Speaker 7 (19:34):
Congress does not have information that that had occurred. Both
the chairman of the Center Arm Services Committee, Chairman of
the House Arm Services Committee, and ranking members have opened investigations. Obviously,
if that occurred, that would be be very serious, and
I agree that that would would be an illegal act.
That is not the legal opinion or the information or
(19:55):
the legal justification the acts that have been described to
congres Riffs that are being undertaken.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
Again He says, they don't have the same information that
the Washington Post has, but that's why they're opening their investigation.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
The President says he has very little concern over the
way the US is handling the boat strikes in the Caribbean.
He says the military is doing an amazing job. Just
look at the numbers and the amount of drugs coming
in by see infantesimal compared to what it was just
a few months ago. Speaking of drugs, that will be
the topic in the Oval Office tonight. The President is
(20:29):
said to hold a meeting at the White House tonight
about the next steps when it comes to Venezuela. Also
about the drugs US increasing pressure on Venezuela with strikes
on those drug boats in the Caribbean. Apparently this is
going to be the main deal, and how.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Much of it is actually about drugs as opposed to
what do we gain if we don't I mean, I
don't know. Does Venezuela still produce enough of oil that
we would do it for oil or something like that.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
This reminds me when the Prime Minister ordered that attack
on the vessel and the.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
You're talking about a TV show?
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Oh right, I got into the diplomat during my time off,
I could.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Oh my goodness. Have you heard about the wild green pigs? Well,
they're in California and what the hell is going on?
Hunters are finding something wrong with the pigs. Why are
they green?
Speaker 3 (21:38):
We've broken We've broken broken nature. I think it's probably
the best.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Way to I found myself sounding like an old crazy
person for not the first time, but it's becoming more
evident when it's happening. I was at Thanksgiving and I
was talking to my sister in law and I said
to her, because we were talking about something like wild
green pigs, you know, like something crazy, And I said,
(22:05):
sometimes I feel like after COVID we were put on
this like alternate track, and that we're on that track
now where everything's off and we're on this alternate universe track, okay,
And she just looked at me, like you look at
a crazy person, because you just want to keep them calm,
you know, And she was like, yeah, you know, and
(22:25):
then just like turned back to look at the football game.
And I thought to myselfself, maybe we keep these inside.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Maybe maybe that does not pass the gatekeeper.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
You get you let me get away with a lot
of crazy thinking in this room, and then I am
set free. I'm set free into the wild for two
weeks and I start entertaining other people with my thoughts.
Doesn't go as well, you're very forgiving, we're crazy, and
other people they're not so good.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Well, there's a couple things. I also think it's safer
to allow this room from the Well, literally, we do
have pads in this room. I mean we do have
walls that are padded.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Yeah, it's quite real. It's quite real scenario.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
So there's that.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
I also don't disagree with you necessarily when it comes
to like, we broke.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Something, something was broke a few years back. Well, and
I have a whole theory about it, and it's it
mainly goes back to we broke inter personal connections and
how to talk to people, and how to interact with
people strangers, even people that we know and love that
maybe we haven't seen in a while, where there's just
something that hasn't been set right, the fracture has not
(23:48):
been set in the cast. It's still fractured.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
It's funny.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
I was reading an article and I actually thought we
might do it today, we might do it later this week.
It was Habits to Guarantee Happiness or something like that,
and it was put together by a group of sociologists
looking at all these different studies all over the place,
and they came up with six common things that people
who are happy do on a regular basis. And it's
(24:14):
simple things like they set their alarm and they get up,
but they but they create time for themselves. You know,
you don't set the alarm at seven fifteen because you've
got to be at work at seven forty five and
you don't have any time. It's you get up and
you immediately go. That does not work. But one of
the things they said was this simple ability for people
to carry on conversations with people they don't know. They
(24:36):
put it under the heading of something like a start
a book club with people you don't know, or basically
communicate with people who are strangers or you don't often
communicate with, standing in line at the coffee shop, standing
at the gate at the airport, waiting for the light
to turn so you can cross the street, or something
(24:56):
like that. That that kind of interaction fell by the
way because we were told the other people were the
ones that were going to kill you. We were told
that it was dangerous for you to be in close
proximity with somebody else, that you didn't know their health
history or something like that, and that that we need
to get back to some of that to help set
(25:17):
that fracture.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Perhaps.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Yeah, and I remember that. I remember standing six feet
apart in the grocery store where people are looking at
you like you're a suspected killer. Yeah, quite literally, like
looking at you like, oh, what is she into? Has
she been licking the melons or you know what I mean?
I don't know like it because you know you couldn't
lick things back then.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Well, hopefully you're not licking melons now. That would also I.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Haven't licked melons. I have not, But you know what
I mean, can't get past it. You can't get past it.
You spent two weeks without thinking of things like licking melons.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
My sister had to cancel her Thanksgiving plans because she
COVID And I said to her, you tested for that.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
People are people are people are still doing that.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
And I notice also that there are some stores that
still have those social distancing stickers on the floor to
tell you where to stand. They're kind of the grocery
stores like Vonds and Raelson. They're all gone now because
they're worn away, but there are places that have slower
traffic that have still those stickers on the floor and
(26:29):
they make me laugh.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
At some time.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Speaking of I've heard the flu. This December is going
to be awful. There's two flues. There's two flus. I
thought a be there was a bee in a V.
That's a wine BV wine Bulow Vineyards. I don't know
what it stood for, but I remember my grandmother couldn't
stand it, the wine or the flu. The BV wine.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Too much wine will give you a flu kind of.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
She lived with cirrhosis for forty years. I don't think
she ever had the flu. Gary and Shannon will continue
after this.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
You've been listening to the Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
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 ap
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. Clear out the cobwebs and the
old brain. But it's nice to be back.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
To drive in traffic again. Then that's always.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
I was appalled today by people's behavior on the commute.
I thought I did not miss this. I did not
miss people behaving the way that they do. And it's
Monday morning behavior. It's first day of work, work back
for people in many cases, and it's also holiday. People
who are out there who have no business driving, who
(00:39):
are not used to driving, who are distracted and they
act a fool.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Yeah, and Linda and Uncle Bob who've been visiting from
Omaha all weekend and decided that they were going to
wait until like Monday or Tuesday to go back because
they wanted to avoid the travel rush.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
They're still out there.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
I feel bad for Linda and Bob because they're from
Omaha and they're not used to a holes like we are.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
I are not used to it.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
But I have a quick question. Yeah, something that came up.
I just recently went back into the world of Facebook.
I was kind of gone for a while and then
meta to this thing where if you would post something
on Instagram, it would post something on Facebook as well,
which I just allowed to happen. But it opens back
up the Facebook Pandora's box, if you will. Now, I
(01:24):
was wondering because I haven't seen this in uh since
two thousand and eight, but I got I got a
poke on Facebook. Someone poked me. Now, what what does
that mean? In the Year of Our Lord twenty twenty five?
When someone pokes you on Facebook?
Speaker 2 (01:39):
That you is that? What is it?
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Is it it getting handsy at that point?
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Is it just a friendly poke? Is it a hey?
How are you doing? I haven't seen you in twenty
four years?
Speaker 2 (01:50):
For still a while.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
I just like trying to move it to see if
it still has any breath left in it? Or what
do you? What are you poking?
Speaker 2 (01:57):
What?
Speaker 1 (01:57):
What's going on with the post? Actually say you got
said so and so poked you? And I haven't seen
that since two thousand and eight. And I remember back
in two thousand and eight, it was kind of suspect
when someone would poke you. You know, you're kind of
like beware of that guy. But now does it mean
something different?
Speaker 2 (02:16):
I don't even know if I wouldn't know how to
go on there.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
And I wouldn't know how to do the said action.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
I don't and either I'm so out of practice, I
don't know how to poke.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
In all honesty, if you had said that, I would
have said immediately, I would have said, oh, that's a
scam from somebody.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Oh, like that's my gut. Reaction is like, they don't
even do that anymore on Facebook.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Wait, don't poke back, the irs will come for you.
Oh fine, Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
You got to drive a lot over the last couple
of weeks, right because you were in Utah, Yes, and
then drove your way back into California. I was in
a couple of airplanes. Now granted I took minor league airports.
I was in Burbank and I was in Dallas love Field.
It was perfect, Oh good, it was. It was wonderful,
and there was a lot of concern. There was rain
(03:07):
and Dallas when we were headed there. There was rain
in Dallas when when we were headed out. Both flights,
even though they were late in the day and southwest,
which is usually a gamble, both flights were maybe fifteen
minutes delay.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
That's all Yeah, it was.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
It was wonderful. It was easy to fly, it was great.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
And I know that that's the vast majority of people
will not have problems when they fly, but there are
big weather issues, especially today.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Every time I have flown on Thanksgiving or on Christmas,
it has been a delight.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Oh, you pick the day, the day.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
And I was thinking about that for Christmas. I think
I'm going to go up and see my family was
with my husband's family this Thanksgiving and I was thinking,
if I go up there, I'm going to get in
and I'm going to get out. I'm going to get
in on Christmas and get out the next morning.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
This is perfect. I mean, it's a way.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
I've done that too, flying on the actual holiday, and
it's amazing how much of it.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
It's great. Yeah, because nobody wants you. Nobody wants to
do that.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
There, but especially if you have a relatively short flight,
if you're going from here to northern California, it's an
easy way. Yesterday, there were eleven cancelations at LAX, about
a thousand cancelations around the country because of some weather issues.
Today it's not as bad, but it could be. As
of right now, they said there's about three hundred plus
(04:24):
three hundred and twenty cancelations throughout the United States. Most
of those, most of the impacted airport is or I
should say the most impacted airport right now is Chicago
O'Hare and that's because of weather. It also happens to
be a hub for different airlines. So once they had
problems in the middle of the country like that, they're
(04:46):
going to see problems throughout the rest of throughout the
rest of the area.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
But we'll update that throughout the time.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
The other thing that we noticed, my wife and I
had a pretty we picked if you know where Dallas
love Field. We picked the man Gione's rest. Sorry, that's
not the right word. Maggianos Mangioni is in court today,
Luigi's in court. We went to Magiano's there at Dallas
love Field because there is perfect seating on watching the
(05:13):
people walk in and out of the terminal like it
is the perfect vantage point.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
And we just took.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
This entire conversation about people wearing pajamas at the airport,
that whole discussion from Sean Duffy, the Secretary of Transportation,
suggesting we try to class it up a little bit.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
We spent an hour.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
And addressed to that. Oh, I can't wait to hear it.
This has been my complaint for years recently.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
But there is an opposite side to it, which I
would never have thought of.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Please rationalize pajamas in public for me. Please do it.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
I got a piece of mail. Should we open it together?
Speaker 3 (06:02):
That The box has been in the office for about
two weeks. I think it's addressed to me. It's just
a regular Amazon box.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
It doesn't smell weird.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
It's not like a three week old taco or.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Oh, it's a book. It's Leanne Morgan's book. Where did
you get I don't know who gave it to me.
Let's see.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Oh was it really a gift?
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Oh yeah, enjoy your gift. I moved to Tennessee eleven
years ago after sixty eight years in California, but I
still listen to y'all every day from Tony.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Oh that's very nice.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Oh cool? What in the world is the name of it?
By Leanne Morgan. A Southern Woman's guide to laughing at
life's unexpected curveballs and beautiful blessings. I am so excited.
I didn't know she had a book. Yeah, oh, thank you, Tony.
This is very cool. This is the best listener package
we've gotten in a long time.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Very very nice.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
I mean the socks were nice, but they were used
and it was just a different gift. It wasn't that
I didn't appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Tomorrow is our pasta thought and by the way, our
fifteenth annual KFI Pastathon live broadcast is tomorrow, Giving Tuesday,

Dodgers game in the suite is like four dollars or something.
The last time four seventy five. Yeah, I saw nobody
has been on it. Really, it's the cheapest it's ever
been by far.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Which is a guaranteed good time.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
We are a really good time. Like I'm sorry, I'm
not going to put down John good time or Dean
and Tina Sharp or doctor Wendy or Bill Handle or
Lindsey Handle or Nil Savedra or Angel Martinez is sandals.
I'm looking at all the auction items, but we are
the best time by far.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
I don't know why that's hard to.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
I mean, it's not even a contest. Uh and the
Dodgers World Series Champion. That's the other thing in the suite.
We're not the highlight.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
If you don't like us, that's totally fine.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Nothing to do with us.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
You get to sit in the suite and eat all
you want.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
You can walk in and say, you two, shut the
hell up. I'm here to enjoy the game. We'll say absolutely.
You can walk in and say I just want to
throw stuff at Gary for three and a half hours,
fine by us.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
I will take it.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
He'll dance on the on the countertop for you.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
As long as the.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Door is closed, the door is always closed. It's a
weighted locked door.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
I know. That's what I'm saying. I don't want anybody
to that's why.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
It's because of your dancing. After you did it that
one year, they had to put in new security protocols.
They put because there was a little girl that walked
in and you were bare ass in it on the bar.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
That's not that there was not a little girl. It
was Tommy Lasorda. That was a very different time.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Anyway.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Kfiam six forty dot com. Slash Pastathon is where you'll
find all of those auction items and of course we'll
talk about it a lot tomorrow. Sean Duffy, Secretary Transportation, be.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
Nice, say please, say thank you. Bringing civility back. I
think enhances the travel experience for everybody. And so sometimes
you just have to ask people, hey, let's maybe go
back to an era where we didn't wear our pajamas
to the airport. Man, we actually might dress up a
little bit. And if someone needs help putting their luggage
up in the overhead bin, yeah, help.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Them out, Yeah, help them out.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
That was an interview that he did after this video
came out, and the video was very similar and just
in terms of hey, let's just be nice to each other,
and everybody's going through it. Like everybody. We all know
that traveling can be a nightmare. You don't have to
make it worse by being a complete a hole to
the piece.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
I smile can be a gift. You gift to people.
It's free. Just be kind. I wear hard effing pants,
I said, Please, nobody wants to see your genitals through
old sweatpants, Sir, I don't, I do not. I don't
know you. I don't know you. I don't want to
see your dangly bits through sweat pants that have been
(10:17):
through the laundry for seventeen years.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Circumcision.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
So a couple of people had said, okay, well, if
they want, if they whoever the general they want us
to act better and be nicer and dress up, then
let's lower the ticket prices or something like that. Or
let's have the people behind the ticket counter or at
the gate be a little nicer as well.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Why do we need an incentive to be civil and
dressed appropriately.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Well, my argument was, I've in my times traveling.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Again, I'm not the world's most experienced traveler, but those
times when I sit, say at the gate, I think
I told you when I was flying.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Back from Sacramento.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
One time there was a flight that was delayed and
then it was going to be canceled, and then they
got everybody on another flight, and people were losing their
effing minds and taking it out on the Southwest gate
attend who hasn't no idea what's wrong with the airplane
and why they're taking out of service and is not
withholding their air conditioning expertise that would allow that plane
(11:20):
to be back in service at some point. But they
they you know, every ounce of anger they have, they
take out on that gate agent. Whereas if you walk
up to the gate agent and you go, hey, I'm
in a bad position. I need to be back in
Burbank by tonight. Is there any way that you can
help me out? They're going to be a thousand times
more likely to greet you with a smile and say
(11:42):
I'm really sorry about this. You know, things happen. Let
me see what I can do. The gatekeepers have it
the hardest.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Yeah, you know, I got locked out of my phone,
stopped recognizing my face. Is what happened a few days ago.
Face ID does not work. I don't know what happened.
Are you ready for jokes on that or I wait
or should I wait? I'm always ready, I'm totally ready.
I haven't been made fun of because I've been with
my kind husband, so I haven't had jokes like your
(12:09):
type of jokes for two weeks. You know, he didn't
call me old, he didn't call me fat, he didn't
say an he'd work done, so bring it on. But yeah,
it stopped recognizing my face, so I couldn't get into
my bank account. So of course I called the customer
service number after going through the rigmarole of choosing a
new password, the bank giving me a new password using
(12:30):
that that working, so I call the eight hundred number.
I waited for four to six minutes, which turned out
to be seven to nine minutes after having them call
me back, which is the quickest way to get service.
And then when they called me back, instead of hitting
the green button on the screen, I hit the red
button by accident because I'm seventy six, and so I
screwed up my place in line. So then I had
(12:51):
to call back again. And by the time I got
CHERI in Nevada on customer service and she said, I'm
going to give you a new password and We'll see
how that works. I said, Schari, I already tried this
new password stuff and it did not work for me.
So I'm just letting you know. And poor Cherie she
didn't know through my journey. She wasn't on my journey
with me. She's catching you, And Suri was right, and
so then I become and it worked, and then I
(13:13):
become a bumbling idiot. You know what, Suri, I'm really sorry.
I was short with you for no reason. That was ridiculous.
I apologize you didn't know my password journey, and here
we are, and I said it to her, and then
she was like, if you could just fill out the
questionnaire that they're gonna send you, it's all good. And
I was like, thank you, Nevada.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
I just spent forty five minutes. I don't want to
spend another five on a questionnaire.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
I stopped short of saying, do you know Elko, Nevada?
I just stopped in Elko, Nevada. I ever played the
Maverick Casino. I stopped at the Maverick Casino. I played
for five minutes. I got a royal flush. sureI true
story the Maverick in Elko.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Meanwhile, she's like, you know what, I gotta I gotta go.
I got other customers.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
When we come back, Secretary of Defense Pete haggsaf under
fire and now Congress is going to be breathing down
his neck. We'll talk about what he is accused of
doing when we come back.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
We've got some Richard Dreyfus news. I saw this over
the weekend that apparently as kids are no longer talking
to him, we've got some ideas about.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Why we're going to buckle up and go back in
the Gary and Shannon Show time machine and listen to
our interview from Richard Dreyfus from February of twenty sixteen.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
My goodness. But if you're just joining us, first of all,
you've missed a lot, So make sure to check on
the podcast. Subscribe to the podcast wherever you get your
podcasts at Gary and Shannon, and make sure that you
subscribe because then you get the bonus podcast as well.
It'll just appear on Saturday. It's like a little gift.
Speaking of gifts, we have our most favorite day of
(14:56):
the year and it's tomorrow and it happens to be
the fifteenth annual KFI Pastathon. What is the fifteenth? Is
that like silver or something? What is that?
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Whoah?
Speaker 1 (15:08):
As many moons ago for you?
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Paper?
Speaker 1 (15:11):
I don't think it's paper.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Most of the time it's paper. No, it's more than paper.
I think the fifth is paper. The fifteenth is card stock,
like a not quite card board.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
But this is Giving Tuesday and it is our postathon.
You know the drill. We'll be at the Anaheim white
House all day. If you listen to Amy King at
five am every morning, you are going to be blown
away by seeing and being with Amy King at five am.
That is when we kick this off there at the
Anaheim white House and go all through the day and
the evening. It's the feel good way to start the season.
(15:45):
It makes you feel so good to kick off the
holiday season by donating to hungry kids. You don't see
these hungry kids when you go to Orange County. No,
you go to the beach, you go maybe out to
eat or something, but they are there and Chef Brune feeds.
Is it more than twenty five thousand a week?
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Two thousand a week?
Speaker 1 (16:04):
So this is where your money goes to one hundred
percent of your donation goes to Katerina's club.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Yes, it is open to the public.
Speaker 6 (16:12):
By the way, I've got a question, Yes, sir, are
poor people allowed at the pasta down tomorrow? Because I've
been wanting to see a Scary and Shannon show for
quite a long time, usually working on Thursdays in the
mornings and never able to get out to the news
and brus But I don't have enough money to donate
(16:35):
anything at the moment.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Hey, not only are poor people allowed, but handle will
feed you. There's coffee, there's bagels there in the morning,
So show up, get yourself a breakfast, enjoy yourself, have fun.
We mentioned the weather. It is going to be cool
this week.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Some powerful winds are expected to be rolling in that
could drop temperatures.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
In the mornings. Oh, so bring a scarf, bring a
scarf tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
I meant of cold in there from what I remember.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
President Trump yesterday said that he has great confidence that
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth did not give a spoken order
to kill all the crew members aboard one of those
smuggling boats in the Caribbean. Back at the beginning of September,
Trump said that the Secretary of Defense told him specifically,
he did not say that.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
I believe him.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Now, this goes back to like I said, beginning of September,
the first few attacks on what we believe our drug
smuggling boats out in the Caribbean, and a live drone
feed showed two survivors from an original crew of eleven,
and the two survivors were clinging to the wreckage of
(17:46):
their boat after a one of America's finest missiles blew
the thing into splinters there in the Caribbean. Now, the
Special Operations commander, who was overseeing the mission, ordered a
second strike to kill the two survivors. The question becomes
was it ordered by the Secretary of Defense. According to
(18:11):
people with direct knowledge of the operation, They told the
Washington Post that Pete hagg Seth basically gave the order,
I don't care if they're still alive, kill them all.
That would be a violation of the Geneva Convention. Once
you knock somebody out of the fight, in very vague terms,
(18:34):
you do not kill them. That would become illegal according
to international war law, if you want.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
To put it that way.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
There are those two people quoted in the Washington Post,
along with five others are all being anonymous. They're all
keeping themselves quiet. Washington Post is not reporting who they are.
Trump had said he's going to look into the issue.
He said, I would not have wanted that, would not
want a second strike.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
The first strike was very lethal.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
This is going to cause problems for Pete Hegsef because
right now we know that Congress is starting to sniff
around in all of this, and one of the things
that they have suggested is if they are able to
find information that Pete Haggseth broke the law by ordering
that second strike, it's going to be bad news for him.
(19:27):
This is a Republican Mike Turner out of Ohio.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
What is your view and what questions do you have
for the Pentagon.
Speaker 7 (19:34):
Congress does not have information that that had occurred. Both
the chairman of the Center Arm Services Committee, Chairman of
the House Arm Services Committee, and ranking members have opened investigations. Obviously,
if that occurred, that would be be very serious, and
I agree that that would would be an illegal act.
That is not the legal opinion or the information or
(19:55):
the legal justification the acts that have been described to
congres Riffs that are being undertaken.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
Again He says, they don't have the same information that
the Washington Post has, but that's why they're opening their investigation.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
The President says he has very little concern over the
way the US is handling the boat strikes in the Caribbean.
He says the military is doing an amazing job. Just
look at the numbers and the amount of drugs coming
in by see infantesimal compared to what it was just
a few months ago. Speaking of drugs, that will be
the topic in the Oval Office tonight. The President is
(20:29):
said to hold a meeting at the White House tonight
about the next steps when it comes to Venezuela. Also
about the drugs US increasing pressure on Venezuela with strikes
on those drug boats in the Caribbean. Apparently this is
going to be the main deal, and how.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Much of it is actually about drugs as opposed to
what do we gain if we don't I mean, I
don't know. Does Venezuela still produce enough of oil that
we would do it for oil or something like that.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
This reminds me when the Prime Minister ordered that attack
on the vessel and the.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
You're talking about a TV show?
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Oh right, I got into the diplomat during my time off,
I could.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Oh my goodness. Have you heard about the wild green pigs? Well,
they're in California and what the hell is going on?
Hunters are finding something wrong with the pigs. Why are
they green?
Speaker 3 (21:38):
We've broken We've broken broken nature. I think it's probably
the best.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Way to I found myself sounding like an old crazy
person for not the first time, but it's becoming more
evident when it's happening. I was at Thanksgiving and I
was talking to my sister in law and I said
to her, because we were talking about something like wild
green pigs, you know, like something crazy, And I said,
(22:05):
sometimes I feel like after COVID we were put on
this like alternate track, and that we're on that track
now where everything's off and we're on this alternate universe track, okay,
And she just looked at me, like you look at
a crazy person, because you just want to keep them calm,
you know, And she was like, yeah, you know, and
(22:25):
then just like turned back to look at the football game.
And I thought to myselfself, maybe we keep these inside.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Maybe maybe that does not pass the gatekeeper.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
You get you let me get away with a lot
of crazy thinking in this room, and then I am
set free. I'm set free into the wild for two
weeks and I start entertaining other people with my thoughts.
Doesn't go as well, you're very forgiving, we're crazy, and
other people they're not so good.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Well, there's a couple things. I also think it's safer
to allow this room from the Well, literally, we do
have pads in this room. I mean we do have
walls that are padded.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Yeah, it's quite real. It's quite real scenario.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
So there's that.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
I also don't disagree with you necessarily when it comes
to like, we broke.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Something, something was broke a few years back. Well, and
I have a whole theory about it, and it's it
mainly goes back to we broke inter personal connections and
how to talk to people, and how to interact with
people strangers, even people that we know and love that
maybe we haven't seen in a while, where there's just
something that hasn't been set right, the fracture has not
(23:48):
been set in the cast. It's still fractured.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
It's funny.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
I was reading an article and I actually thought we
might do it today, we might do it later this week.
It was Habits to Guarantee Happiness or something like that,
and it was put together by a group of sociologists
looking at all these different studies all over the place,
and they came up with six common things that people
who are happy do on a regular basis. And it's
(24:14):
simple things like they set their alarm and they get up,
but they but they create time for themselves. You know,
you don't set the alarm at seven fifteen because you've
got to be at work at seven forty five and
you don't have any time. It's you get up and
you immediately go. That does not work. But one of
the things they said was this simple ability for people
to carry on conversations with people they don't know. They
(24:36):
put it under the heading of something like a start
a book club with people you don't know, or basically
communicate with people who are strangers or you don't often
communicate with, standing in line at the coffee shop, standing
at the gate at the airport, waiting for the light
to turn so you can cross the street, or something
(24:56):
like that. That that kind of interaction fell by the
way because we were told the other people were the
ones that were going to kill you. We were told
that it was dangerous for you to be in close
proximity with somebody else, that you didn't know their health
history or something like that, and that that we need
to get back to some of that to help set
(25:17):
that fracture.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Perhaps.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Yeah, and I remember that. I remember standing six feet
apart in the grocery store where people are looking at
you like you're a suspected killer. Yeah, quite literally, like
looking at you like, oh, what is she into? Has
she been licking the melons or you know what I mean?
I don't know like it because you know you couldn't
lick things back then.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Well, hopefully you're not licking melons now. That would also I.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Haven't licked melons. I have not, But you know what
I mean, can't get past it. You can't get past it.
You spent two weeks without thinking of things like licking melons.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
My sister had to cancel her Thanksgiving plans because she
COVID And I said to her, you tested for that.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
People are people are people are still doing that.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
And I notice also that there are some stores that
still have those social distancing stickers on the floor to
tell you where to stand. They're kind of the grocery
stores like Vonds and Raelson. They're all gone now because
they're worn away, but there are places that have slower
traffic that have still those stickers on the floor and
(26:29):
they make me laugh.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
At some time.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Speaking of I've heard the flu. This December is going
to be awful. There's two flues. There's two flus. I
thought a be there was a bee in a V.
That's a wine BV wine Bulow Vineyards. I don't know
what it stood for, but I remember my grandmother couldn't
stand it, the wine or the flu. The BV wine.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Too much wine will give you a flu kind of.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
She lived with cirrhosis for forty years. I don't think
she ever had the flu. Gary and Shannon will continue
after this.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
You've been listening to the Gary and Shannon Show.
