Speaker 1: This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to kf
Speaker 1: I A M six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show
Speaker 1: on demand on the iHeartRadio app. We got Valentine's. We
Speaker 1: got a box of sweethearts. Mine says cutie pie.
Speaker 2: Somebody listened to you because it literally there's there's hers,
Speaker 2: she's kisses here.
Speaker 3: And you said, that's really the only acceptable candy.
Speaker 1: And then there's also more sweethearts, conversation hearts, and there's
Speaker 1: also a Valentine that says you sparkle. What does your
Speaker 1: Valentine's say? Uh, you're fairy nice like fairy. Yeah, you're
Speaker 1: a fairy. Is this what is this?
Speaker 3: Gel cling?
Speaker 1: A gel cling? Minds? A unicorn? What's yours? Some sort
Speaker 1: of fairy boys?
Speaker 3: It's a it's a it's a purple blob. Oh, I
Speaker 3: think it's a fairy. Does that look like a fairy
Speaker 3: to you?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a fairy boy, a little fairy boy. I
Speaker 1: think that the sentiment on the front of it was
Speaker 1: a dead giveaway.
Speaker 3: That makes more sense. I will say Valentines for me.
Speaker 1: That's pretty cool that like you are said, I mean,
Speaker 1: people feel comfortable giving you fairy Valentine that's pretty good.
Speaker 3: I'm not flying into a hot, hot white race.
Speaker 1: It's not you. But what I was going to say
Speaker 1: is I was listening to Handle this morning, and Neil said, oh,
Speaker 1: were you pausing for applause something? I was pausing to
Speaker 1: get your reaction to anyway, So Neil said, my wife
Speaker 1: is super easy. She doesn't like flowers, she doesn't like candy,
Speaker 1: she doesn't like jewelries, and care bucking taken out to dinner.
Speaker 1: And I'm thinking, Oh, that's cool, that's cool. I'm like that.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm like cool, I'm cool. I don't need anything.
Speaker 1: And then I started thinking, like, is that like next
Speaker 1: level female behavior? Like I don't like any of.
Speaker 3: This wave feminism kind of thing.
Speaker 1: Like it makes it even harder because I've got girlfriends
Speaker 1: that would be perfectly happy with a nice piece of
Speaker 1: jewelry and like and then they're happy like that, And
Speaker 1: that's easy. You go out, you spend too much money,
Speaker 1: get a nice piece of jewelry, wife's happy, Boom, You're done.
Speaker 3: Yeah, see you next year.
Speaker 1: It's the wives that don't like any of that ass
Speaker 1: that maybe makes it a little harder, right, Like, are
Speaker 1: we actually the worst wives? The ones who are like,
Speaker 1: I don't want flowers, don't take me out to dinner, because.
Speaker 2: Then then you're really screwed that then it becomes this
Speaker 2: mental trick that is like, right, so we're we're not doing.
Speaker 1: There's no pressure, more pressure because then you've got to
Speaker 1: work outside the boss.
Speaker 3: So I don't do card or anything.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's actually a bigger trap now that I think
Speaker 1: about it. In fact, the least time maintenance women on
Speaker 1: Valentine's Day, I would argue, as I work this out
Speaker 1: in my drive, are the most time maintenance.
Speaker 2: I would love to know what goes on in the
Speaker 2: cab of that truck when you're driving a lot of this,
Speaker 2: a lot of this.
Speaker 3: Is it out loud?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 5: You sure?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I only do out loud thinking here, good, that's
Speaker 1: really great, that's fantastic.
Speaker 3: I took my wife to dinner last night.
Speaker 2: Oh that was nice because we're not going we're gonna
Speaker 2: be on the road today, and we had a great
Speaker 2: It was a great dinner. We had a great waitress,
Speaker 2: which is usually they're a little over bearing, and she
Speaker 2: played it perfectly.
Speaker 1: I would rather have over bearing these days than not.
Speaker 1: I feel like more often than not lately, it's been
Speaker 1: I don't care, and I don't care that you're here,
Speaker 1: and I could care less and I want to be
Speaker 1: a million other places right here.
Speaker 2: Well, and she was very nice, she was funny, and
Speaker 2: that all that is great. And we actually sat at
Speaker 2: a table, which is a very weird. My wife loves
Speaker 2: airports as an example, or public spaces where she can
Speaker 2: sit and observe and judge. And we sat at a
Speaker 2: table that was slightly elevated from the rest of the restaurant.
Speaker 3: Totally.
Speaker 2: We didn't choose it. They chose it for us. And
Speaker 2: it was a booth and it was awesome. We had
Speaker 2: a full view of the entire dining area in this
Speaker 2: restaurant and it was hilarious because and my wife said,
Speaker 2: as soon as we sat down, She's like, I'm sorry
Speaker 2: if I'm not much of a conversationalist tonight, I'm going
Speaker 2: to be people.
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, wow, goals, kids, get to
Speaker 1: the shitting your marriage where you go out for a
Speaker 1: date night and you don't talk, you just look at
Speaker 1: other people.
Speaker 3: We ended up talking, obviously, but so so.
Speaker 2: The the weird thing that happened to us, though, is
Speaker 2: we pull into the little parking area a little parking
Speaker 2: garage that's kind of around the corner from the restaurant,
Speaker 2: and there's a spot that opens up, and I see
Speaker 2: a guy getting into a little suv that's next to us,
Speaker 2: and he's going to be pulling out, I thought, So
Speaker 2: we pull into the spot next to him, and I
Speaker 2: realize he's getting back out of the car that he
Speaker 2: had just sat in. And it's weird. He's I can't
Speaker 2: tell what he's doing. I can't he's not putting stuff
Speaker 2: in the car. It's not like he went shopping at
Speaker 2: the mall and was putting a bag of something. Weird
Speaker 2: is going on with this guy. So he's to my
Speaker 2: left and my wife gets out on her side of
Speaker 2: the car, and I before I get out of the
Speaker 2: driver's side, I want to see is is he going
Speaker 2: to open his door to get back into his car
Speaker 2: or is he because he's backed into to the spot,
Speaker 2: and so there's this weird moment of I'm waiting for
Speaker 2: this guy to do something so I can open the
Speaker 2: door without hitting him. He doesn't do any He's just
Speaker 2: kind of I don't even know. He's just standing by
Speaker 2: his driver's side door, looking in his own vehicle. So
Speaker 2: I open the door and I go to walk past him,
Speaker 2: and I'm standing between I get super queeped out about
Speaker 2: guys that are doing this in a parking garage. There's
Speaker 2: no one else around, like, so I'm standing between him
Speaker 2: and my wife and he kind of looks up at
Speaker 2: both of us, and as we walk around the front
Speaker 2: of his car to go over to the restaurant, he goes, hey, hey,
Speaker 2: can I ask you a question? He sprays something into
Speaker 2: his hand. I don't know why I'm spitting. He sprays
Speaker 2: something into his hand and he goes, have you ever
Speaker 2: smelled cologne like this?
Speaker 1: What the map?
Speaker 2: I have no idea now at that point, traycologist. That's
Speaker 2: the immediate thought that came to my mind, and I
Speaker 2: thought he's gonna he's there's one of two things he's
Speaker 2: going to try to sell me, like cologne out of
Speaker 2: the back of his.
Speaker 1: Car, or where did you take your wife?
Speaker 5: Is this? Like?
Speaker 2: Uh, it's a nice steakhouse, that's the thing, like seventh
Speaker 2: And that's why it was so weird. So I so
Speaker 2: I said, not today, or something dismissive like that.
Speaker 1: Not today.
Speaker 2: And I'm doing this thing where my wife is to
Speaker 2: my left and this guy's to my right, and I
Speaker 2: kind of I kind of walk at a weird angle
Speaker 2: because I have to keep an eye on this guy.
Speaker 3: I don't know what he's gonna do. Hey does does
Speaker 3: my hands?
Speaker 1: What does he look like?
Speaker 2: He just looked like your dentist. I mean, he looked
Speaker 2: like a normal guy. You know he's wearing he's wearing
Speaker 2: like a hoodie and jeans. Yeah, he's a normal guy.
Speaker 2: He didn't he didn't appear threatening. He didn't appear homeless
Speaker 2: as well.
Speaker 3: No other than the dumb question of have you ever
Speaker 3: cologne like this?
Speaker 2: And then that car was still there when we came
Speaker 2: out of the restaurant an hour and a half later,
Speaker 2: and I was like, I, before we walk over to
Speaker 2: the car, we're going to stop here a second, and
Speaker 2: I'm going to make sure that there's nobody sitting in
Speaker 2: the car, because if he's sitting in that vehicle, were waiting.
Speaker 1: What were you afraid of? Why would he have singled
Speaker 1: you out to sit there and wait through your meal
Speaker 1: for you to come back.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't know if he lives in that car.
Speaker 1: I don't know if they get out more maybe you do
Speaker 1: you need to leave the house more, okay, because there's
Speaker 1: people everywhere. And they say people everywhere. There's people everywhere.
Speaker 3: Time they stop you in a random.
Speaker 2: Place, people people are Have you ever smelled cologne like
Speaker 2: people are?
Speaker 1: They still don't know how to act after the pandemic.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I'm glad that you escaped with your
Speaker 1: life and that you protected your bride.
Speaker 3: Close call. What did you eat? I had? I had
Speaker 3: the short rib My wife had eight ounce file a.
Speaker 1: Is this where you guys go all the time?
Speaker 3: It's where we've gone lately. Yeah, yeah, because it's been
Speaker 3: so good. Yeah.
Speaker 2: And I had a I don't remember what the drink
Speaker 2: was called. It was a martini that had something in it.
Speaker 1: When you know, when you when you know, you know,
Speaker 1: my parents had a place that they would go out.
Speaker 1: They would have a date night every Saturday night. And
Speaker 1: they had like a rotation of like two or three
Speaker 1: restaurants that they would go to for years, for you know,
Speaker 1: years and years and years. My uh biological mother, when
Speaker 1: I met her out in Charlotte and she took me
Speaker 1: to dinner, she and her husband, who has since passed,
Speaker 1: would go out to the same restaurant every Friday night.
Speaker 1: They love the place. It's just so nice. We don't
Speaker 1: have a place like that.
Speaker 3: I mean, we've done we've done anniversaries there. Now we've done.
Speaker 1: Taco Bell just doesn't hit that same way.
Speaker 2: We've done Valentine's Day there kind of we've done some
Speaker 2: random like happy hour stuff that they do during the week.
Speaker 3: It's good and like nice to have a go to.
Speaker 2: There was one where it was the night before we're
Speaker 2: putting our dog down, or I guess it was a
Speaker 2: week before we had to put our dog down year ago.
Speaker 2: So there's memories now at that restaurant. And then of course,
Speaker 2: like last night was great because we had that seat
Speaker 2: of judgment across the entire and we were just like,
Speaker 2: what's going on.
Speaker 3: At that table over there? Why is that guy? And
Speaker 3: by the way, we overdress.
Speaker 2: We overdress people walk into this beautiful, nice, somewhat expensive
Speaker 2: steakhouse wearing there. I hate that having baseball caps backwards.
Speaker 2: And trust me, I love a baseball cap. If I could,
Speaker 2: I would wear it all the time. But I'm not
Speaker 2: going to go to dinner with the woman that I
Speaker 2: love and wear a backwards baseball cap while I'm paying
Speaker 2: seventy Bucks for a steak or whatever. You know, it
Speaker 2: just seems like that's a that's a weird move.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd like the idea of dressing to go to dinner.
Speaker 3: It means something.
Speaker 1: My husband wears a suit to work, so when we
Speaker 1: would meet after work for dinner, I would try to
Speaker 1: look not wear radio things classic. I mean, look at
Speaker 1: us right now, freaking Hey, it's Friday. I would trust
Speaker 1: us spraying clone into our hand right now.
Speaker 2: We'll talk about the rain, the damage, the mudslides, pchs closed,
Speaker 2: all of that stuff coming up.
Speaker 6: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on Demand from KFI
Speaker 6: AM six forty.
Speaker 1: What did you think about my idea of asking people
Speaker 1: for their real love stories, not the constrived Valentine's Day stories.
Speaker 1: But real love stories are antecdotes. Maybe you've been with
Speaker 1: each other for a long time. You and your wife
Speaker 1: have been together for a long time. I love that
Speaker 1: the two of you do you have a I don't
Speaker 1: know everything, but you seem to have a delightful, wonderful marriage,
Speaker 1: and that you do best friend things together too, Like
Speaker 1: you go out to eat and you judge people together.
Speaker 1: That's something you do with your best friend, right It's
Speaker 1: not always something you think of as like romantic or stuff.
Speaker 1: But that's kind of the bedrock of relationships, right is
Speaker 1: to That's what gives you longevity is somebody who you
Speaker 1: want to spend time with, who is a best friend
Speaker 1: to you. You got to have fun and you have
Speaker 1: to have fun as well, and you have to be
Speaker 1: a d with each other. You know about other people.
Speaker 2: Sometimes that makes you feel better about your Absolutely, I
Speaker 2: mean the.
Speaker 1: Key to the true success that guy's going to eat
Speaker 1: that she's not gonna have to be with him for
Speaker 1: very much longer.
Speaker 2: So if you have your real legitimate don't make it up.
Speaker 3: It doesn't have to be made up, but.
Speaker 2: I would make it up because people want to be
Speaker 2: I think they're funny. So the rain yesterday did cause
Speaker 2: some significant damage. For example, over the Smart and Final
Speaker 2: in Azusa, the roof collapsed.
Speaker 1: I hope that Dodger dogs are okay.
Speaker 2: There is a closure along PCH right now because the
Speaker 2: mud slides. Did you see by the way, the LA
Speaker 2: Fire Department employee got swept away on PCH. The mud
Speaker 2: slide came through and pushed him out basically into the ocean.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 2: About five o'clock last night. His vehicles swept off the
Speaker 2: road right near Big Rock Road in Malibu. So, as
Speaker 2: of right now, Caltrans District seven says PCHS closed between
Speaker 2: Chautauqua Boulevard and Carbon Beach Terrace until further notice. This
Speaker 2: was a significant storm. It paid off what we were expecting.
Speaker 3: Yesterday.
Speaker 2: The San Gabriel Dam saw almost six inches of rain.
Speaker 2: Downtown LA saw two point eight seven inches of rain.
Speaker 2: I mean it was as significant as was expected. What
Speaker 2: I don't quite get is there are sections along for
Speaker 2: example I five northbound or the truck lanes is through
Speaker 2: the New Hall Pass. They always flood, yeah, I mean
Speaker 2: always flood. And it doesn't have to be a big
Speaker 2: storm with three inches of rain like that. They always flood.
Speaker 2: So how in the world can we, I don't know,
Speaker 2: prevent that in the future.
Speaker 3: Is there a way.
Speaker 1: It's just our highways, our highways are just not used
Speaker 1: to having this kind of built. The infrastructure is not
Speaker 1: built for a rain because we get it so infrequently
Speaker 1: give it. I mean, why are you going to go
Speaker 1: through all that hassle if we have rain, If it
Speaker 1: floods once a year, twice a year, three times a
Speaker 1: year at most.
Speaker 2: But you know where throw a French drain in there
Speaker 2: and I don't know, get that water out of it.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's that simple. I loved the bursts,
Speaker 1: so I love the bursts of rain here. I loved
Speaker 1: the rain last night, had some errands to run. Loved
Speaker 1: going out in the rain. I love to jumping over puddles.
Speaker 1: I don't know why you're looking at me like there's
Speaker 1: a trap here somewhere.
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I just loved it. I also love the sunshine this morning.
Speaker 1: I don't like when rain lasts for seven weeks, but
Speaker 1: I do love it once in a while. Come through
Speaker 1: and just wash things away.
Speaker 3: Well, and this should be a beautiful weekend.
Speaker 2: I mean this, not that it's going to be warm
Speaker 2: or anything like that, but it'll it's nice when it
Speaker 2: feels clean and fresh, and three inches of rain will
Speaker 2: do that to places.
Speaker 1: Coming up at ten thirty, we have maybe a way
Speaker 1: for you to get around the high egg prices. Egg
Speaker 1: price is still through the roof. There are different stores
Speaker 1: that are limiting one carton per household. We may have
Speaker 1: a workaround for you coming up in one hour.
Speaker 2: All right, coming up next, it looks like the department
Speaker 2: of Government efficiency is now at the IRS. They're trying
Speaker 2: to increase their transparency, and there are people who are
Speaker 2: suggesting that, well, maybe the transparency in the work of
Speaker 2: the Department of Government efficiency is not good for everybody.
Speaker 4: And all the people that they support are getting screwed.
Speaker 2: That is a senator, a senator who sounds like a puppet,
Speaker 2: and all.
Speaker 4: The people that they support are getting screwed.
Speaker 1: Not everybody was born with your low register and your
Speaker 1: dulcet tones.
Speaker 3: Garyan Shannon will continue.
Speaker 6: You're listening to Garyan Shannon on demand from KFI AM
Speaker 6: six forty.
Speaker 7: Hi, Garyan Shannon Shannon, I too, just like Neil's wife,
Speaker 7: do not like the flowers or really any of the
Speaker 7: typical Valentine's Day stuff, But having kids, young kids, the
Speaker 7: best gift is from my husband to take the kids
Speaker 7: and leave me alone. I feel the same about Mother's Day.
Speaker 7: Am I a psychopath, I know, but that is the
Speaker 7: most romantic gift one could get.
Speaker 1: I would imagine that that is a nice gestures, get
Speaker 1: some meat, get mom some me time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Gary and Shannon Mark Fisher, Hey, or good morning.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna employ you out here at the airport. Shannon
Speaker 4: I just want to say, I love your personality.
Speaker 6: I love you with I love your gleed you and
Speaker 6: Gary really would make me laugh every morning.
Speaker 3: Happy Valentine's Day. Thank you. Your husband's a very lucky man.
Speaker 4: Wish I had to meet you in my time.
Speaker 3: I just love your personality.
Speaker 5: We click.
Speaker 3: Just give me a moment.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna afford that your care.
Speaker 1: That was very nice, Honey. If you're listening, you're done.
Speaker 1: You don't have to do anything. I got all the
Speaker 1: compliments I need.
Speaker 5: Happy Friday. Guys.
Speaker 8: Gary, you hit on something that drives me freaking nuts
Speaker 8: because when I take my girlfriend out to dinner, we
Speaker 8: always dress accordingly, and yes we go to nice places,
Speaker 8: but that's not the point. These people walk in sometimes
Speaker 8: with t shirts like you said, a half short sometimes
Speaker 8: and these are very well to do places, and I'm
Speaker 8: surprised they don't have a quote unquote dress code. I
Speaker 8: don't know what's wrong with people, but it drives me crazy.
Speaker 3: I'm not and listen.
Speaker 2: I don't like why I shouldn't say I don't like
Speaker 2: dressing up.
Speaker 3: I don't. That's not my go to.
Speaker 2: I'm much more comfortable in comfortable clothes. Well, that sounds stupid.
Speaker 1: No, it's not. Everyone feels the same way. It feels
Speaker 1: good to get home, put on a T shirt and sweatpants, yes,
Speaker 1: soft soft, but you know what, you should do it
Speaker 1: for yourself, Like it feels good inside to get dressed
Speaker 1: and look presentable and go out to have a meal.
Speaker 1: Like it feels good to do that. And it also,
Speaker 1: you know, gives people a looking around like, hey, maybe
Speaker 1: that's a good idea for me. I remember getting onto
Speaker 1: a plane. I was going to a baby shower or
Speaker 1: wedding shower, not that it matters wedding shower. It was
Speaker 1: at restaurant. It was a lunch. I was just flying
Speaker 1: up and back to the barrier the same day. So
Speaker 1: I wore a dress on the plane, and the flight
Speaker 1: attendant was like, thank you, thank you for not wearing
Speaker 1: your pajamas. Because it's true. I mean, airports are a
Speaker 1: great I mean you don't have to dress to the nine.
Speaker 1: People used to dress to the nine for air travel.
Speaker 1: You don't need to do that. But you look around
Speaker 1: airports and it's really bottom of the barrel stuff. At
Speaker 1: some point, it was generally approved by all of humanity
Speaker 1: that you can wear stained, baggy, thin, thin, sweatpants to
Speaker 1: the airport in front of people that you don't know,
Speaker 1: and that's acceptable. You bring your blankets, you bring your
Speaker 1: stuffed animals, you bring your dog, whatever, it's like. The
Speaker 1: airport is your couch. And I don't mean to sound
Speaker 1: like an old man yelling at the lawn, but I
Speaker 1: don't need to see strangers in their and their home clothes.
Speaker 2: No, I agree, and that the restaurant version of this
Speaker 2: is just the restaurant version of the same thing that's
Speaker 2: happened in airports for a couple decades.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 3: Is we just we've just given up, We've just given up.
Speaker 2: And I understand you want to be comfortable because you're
Speaker 2: stuck in one chair for three hours or however long
Speaker 2: your flight is. But is it really that uncomfortable that
Speaker 2: you need to have your own pillow or your own
Speaker 2: neck pillow or your own neck pillow and a pillow
Speaker 2: and a hoodie and you have to have your giant
Speaker 2: headphones And like.
Speaker 1: We made fun off we made fun of the whole
Speaker 1: raw dogging movement when people I don't know if we
Speaker 1: made fun of it, but we mentioned it that people
Speaker 1: the new thing was raw dogging flights. You don't have
Speaker 1: anything to read, you anything to watch, you know, everything
Speaker 1: to drink or eat, and you just sit there and
Speaker 1: you just sit in your existence. And I the more
Speaker 1: I think about that, because you're right, all the accruterment
Speaker 1: that people think they need for whatever activity, what have you?
Speaker 1: I mean, I get it, I do fly a lot,
Speaker 1: I do like to be comfortable. But do you really
Speaker 1: need all that crap?
Speaker 3: No, look ridiculous.
Speaker 2: At least seven government agencies have initiated layoffs. Elon Musk
Speaker 2: and his team at the Department of Government Efficiency started
Speaker 2: in on the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and
Speaker 2: the Trump administration has moved swiftly to layoff thousands of
Speaker 2: government employees and at least seven agencies. They haven't said
Speaker 2: how many layoff notices they plan to send, but they
Speaker 2: do say that there are. They're going to go well
Speaker 2: above the seventy seven thousand employees who already accepted that.
Speaker 2: They called it the fork in the Road offer, the
Speaker 2: early retirement thing where you get eight months pay and benefits.
Speaker 2: So this voluntary resignation program. The seventy seven thousand people
Speaker 2: that signed up for that was about three percent of
Speaker 2: the federal workforce. That's well short of the ten percent
Speaker 2: goal that the Trump administration has already talked about.
Speaker 1: I have a question and I guess I could have
Speaker 1: done my own homework about this. Is their grounds for
Speaker 1: any sort of lawsuit about federal I don't know what
Speaker 1: the agreement is for federal workers when it comes to
Speaker 1: getting laid off by the government, what kind of job
Speaker 1: security that you have and that in that place. But
Speaker 1: is there any argument that the government offered these buyouts
Speaker 1: to avoid any sort of litigation moving down the road,
Speaker 1: Like if you accept the buyout now, that means you
Speaker 1: can't sue them for getting rid of your job unceremoniously.
Speaker 3: I guess, but or without cause.
Speaker 2: But then don't take the then don't take the buyout
Speaker 2: right now.
Speaker 1: But I'm just wondering if that's why they did that,
Speaker 1: so that they could save themselves litigation from the people
Speaker 1: that accepted the buyout down the line.
Speaker 2: Well, and the judge who allowed for the judge that
Speaker 2: originally paused this thing last week and then a couple
Speaker 2: of days ago decided to allow it to continue, had
Speaker 2: only said that the unions that were suing these federal
Speaker 2: employee unions that were suing they didn't have standing it wasn't.
Speaker 2: It wasn't the employees themselves. It was the unions that
Speaker 2: sued to stop it. And their argument was, well, all
Speaker 2: of these employees that are about to get fired are
Speaker 2: now going to come to us and burden us with
Speaker 2: questions about what's happening. The union itself has zero and
Speaker 2: the judge decided that you don't have standing in this
Speaker 2: because that's not enough of a complaint that, Oh, they're
Speaker 2: going to ask you to do your job as a
Speaker 2: union and represent them.
Speaker 3: So I don't know.
Speaker 2: Ron Wyden, Senator out of Oregon, has said that the
Speaker 2: DOGE staffers and are examining the irs. He wrote on
Speaker 2: x that means Musk's henchmen are in a position to
Speaker 2: dig through a trove of data about every taxpayer in America,
Speaker 2: and if your refund is delayed, they could.
Speaker 3: Very well be the reason. Wait a minute.
Speaker 2: Every year we come up with reasons why your tax
Speaker 2: refund is delayed. Every single year, there's always an oh,
Speaker 2: the computer did this. Oh they're dealing with the aftermath
Speaker 2: of the hurricane, they're dealing with the wildfire. There's always
Speaker 2: reasons why the refund is delayed. So but now they're
Speaker 2: going to try to pin it on something that Elon
Speaker 2: Musk did, and as Maizie Heroni says.
Speaker 4: And all the people that they support are getting screwed,
Speaker 4: getting screwed.
Speaker 1: That's awful.
Speaker 3: Love stories, It's not her fault. Tell us about your
Speaker 3: love stories.
Speaker 1: I want to hear love stories. I want to hear

Speaker 12: Day, Oh Gary, Hello Shannon. So everybody wants to talk
Speaker 12: about the big acts of love that people do, but
Speaker 12: really it's the everyday stuff. Yes, my husband when we
Speaker 12: first got together, I knew he was serious when he
Speaker 12: had a bet against the wall when we got together,
Speaker 12: and he moved it and bought me a nightstand so
Speaker 12: that when I stayed over I was more comfortable. He's
Speaker 12: changed my breaks in the rain, bought me tires.
Speaker 1: That's how you know loves You know, that is a
Speaker 1: move right there for a guy to have the press.
Speaker 1: You know what guy we're talking about, the guy who
Speaker 1: has a bet against the wall. That's a guy who
Speaker 1: does not have a girlfriend the belly barely one of
Speaker 1: my girlfriends now since married, not to this guy has
Speaker 1: a beautiful baby. But a guy that she dated when
Speaker 1: I don't know, a long time ago, fifteen years ago,
Speaker 1: something like that. He did not have betting. He and
Speaker 1: I tell this, I've told the story before, but I
Speaker 1: think it's we were we were thirty thirty one ish.
Speaker 1: He was the same age, and he did not have
Speaker 1: bedding and didn't see a problem with that. Like that guy,
Speaker 1: her guy who just called in her guys, she didn't
Speaker 1: even need to prompt him. Hey, move the bed away
Speaker 1: from the wall and put a night's in it. He
Speaker 1: knew that, Like that is marriage material. The guy that's
Speaker 1: still using a sleeping bag at thirty one and doesn't
Speaker 1: see that as a problem, Like doesn't clean that up
Speaker 1: before the first night you spend in that bed, that's
Speaker 1: an issue.
