Speaker 3: twenty seven, almost thirty years.
Speaker 6: When did you first meet me?
Speaker 3: I was visiting my brother, who you went to Chico's
Speaker 3: state with right a million years.
Speaker 6: Ago looking for something more specific.
Speaker 3: But I was living in Sacramento, you were living in Chico.
Speaker 3: I was leaving at sacrament And to go see my brother,
Speaker 3: not because we were close, but because I had a
Speaker 3: psychoic's boyfriend that I was trying to escape right, and
Speaker 3: would have to spend the weekend with him. And we
Speaker 3: went to the movies with your brother, with my brother
Speaker 3: and his gaggle of friends, and you were in that gaggle.
Speaker 6: But what day was it? It was a Sunday, It was,
Speaker 6: you know, a year.
Speaker 3: Why do you do this?
Speaker 6: Because you know I'm not good with I remember so
Speaker 6: much better than you do.
Speaker 3: No, you remember mind this thing like dates, but like
Speaker 3: feelings and intention.
Speaker 2: And what was the reason I remember the date? Is
Speaker 2: because I had feelings on that day. It was Sunday,
Speaker 2: October eighth, nineteen ninety five. Well, that's easy because and
Speaker 2: we went and saw the movie seven, Yes, on the eighth, Yeah.
Speaker 6: Okay, And then two days later was your birthday.
Speaker 2: Yes, and I sent you fly despite having known you
Speaker 2: for two three hours at that point.
Speaker 6: It's a big move, big bold moves.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, not low tee, not low t at all. Thank
Speaker 6: you very much. What else is going on? Time for
Speaker 6: what's happening?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 7: The opening is sponsored by a water damage fire damage.
Speaker 2: Burglary call public adjuster Abner GAS nine seven five to five.
Speaker 4: Sex.
Speaker 2: I don't think I'll ever remember. But the big story
Speaker 2: you've heard Debra mention this a couple of times. A
Speaker 2: car has driven into a crowd of people at a
Speaker 2: Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany. Multiple victims, people have been
Speaker 2: running in panic. Extensive police operations underway. There are dozens
Speaker 2: and dozens of police and fire vehicles out in front
Speaker 2: of this in front of this market in Magdeburg.
Speaker 3: And the driver of the car was arrested.
Speaker 2: At least one dead, several hurt. According to CNN, h
Speaker 2: comes about eight years to the day after a tear
Speaker 2: attack at a different German Christmas market, a man drove
Speaker 2: a truck into a crowd at a market in Berlin.
Speaker 2: Thirteen people were killed in that instance, and if we
Speaker 2: get more information, we.
Speaker 6: Will bring it to you. The latest out of Washington,
Speaker 6: d C.
Speaker 2: When it comes to the potential for a government shutdown,
Speaker 2: it looks like the Republicans in the House are trying
Speaker 2: to do sort of a three pronged version of a
Speaker 2: bill similar to what they were going to pass, sorry,
Speaker 2: similar to what they voted on last night but didn't pass.
Speaker 2: They want to split these things up and have at
Speaker 2: least some way. Plan C apparently looks like Plan B
Speaker 2: broken into three different parts. And if they can do
Speaker 2: it in the right way through committee. For example, they
Speaker 2: don't need the two thirds vote, they can just do
Speaker 2: it with a simple majority.
Speaker 6: So their clock is ticking.
Speaker 2: Were less than nine hours away from a potential government shutdown.
Speaker 6: Could see some rain. Ooh, bring health, I think.
Speaker 3: Just enough to get your windshield dirty.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, just this in southern California. It was the
Speaker 2: first time I ever got a sunburn on Christmas Eve.
Speaker 2: It was one of the very first years that we
Speaker 2: lived here, and I had taken the kids to the park.
Speaker 3: I think so I could rap present.
Speaker 6: So you could rap presents.
Speaker 2: And I came back and I had a sunburn because
Speaker 2: that's the weather we have around Christmas.
Speaker 3: DA and both of your children also had sunburns. You
Speaker 3: forget that part.
Speaker 2: I only think about myself. The price of bitcoin is
Speaker 2: down more than ten percent. After topping out at one
Speaker 2: oh eight one hundred and eight thousand dollars for a
Speaker 2: single bitcoin back on Tuesday, it's now down below ninety
Speaker 2: three thousand once again, so a lot of people taken
Speaker 2: turning in their bitcoins for the cash. If you're a
Speaker 2: fan of watching the Vandenberg launches from the Vandenburg Space
Speaker 2: Force Base, SpaceX has issued an advisory for counties of
Speaker 2: Santa Barbara, San Luos, Obispo, and Ventura because of the
Speaker 2: plans for a launch very early tomorrow morning. They said,
Speaker 2: about three point thirty in the morning, they're launching another
Speaker 2: Falcon nine rocket and it could create sonic booms in
Speaker 2: the area. About eight minutes after liftoff, the rockets first
Speaker 2: stage would land back at Vandenberg and they're saying that
Speaker 2: that's what would cause the sonic booms. One or more
Speaker 2: sonic booms coming back in for landing. It's part of
Speaker 2: a Bandwagon mission Bandwagon two described as a rideshare mission
Speaker 2: meant to deliver payloads into space. They have launched four
Speaker 2: hundred and ten Falcon nine rockets into orbit. How do
Speaker 2: you say that that's not a successful company.
Speaker 3: Do they all come back?
Speaker 2: The rocket itself does? Yeah, the capsule itself I think
Speaker 2: burns up on re entry.
Speaker 3: I just I imagine tons of detritis circling.
Speaker 6: Oh there is. It's awful.
Speaker 2: It's more polluted than insert name a very polluted thing here.
Speaker 2: It's more it looks like the great garbage patch in
Speaker 2: the North Pacific.
Speaker 6: The big guyer is.
Speaker 3: What that's said. We're not even there yet. We've already
Speaker 3: ruined it.
Speaker 6: We're not even in space yet. We've been in space
Speaker 6: for a while, you know what I mean. We don't
Speaker 6: live there yet.
Speaker 2: A kangaroo named Rowdy is somewhere in Austin County, Texas.
Speaker 6: For some reason.
Speaker 2: You're allowed to have a kangaroo in Texas well, because
Speaker 2: of freedom for one thing. But a family there in
Speaker 2: Austin County is anxiously awaiting the return of their three
Speaker 2: year old kangaroo Rowdy last sorry, yeah, three year old
Speaker 2: five feet tall. Last scene Wednesday morning on Pika Road
Speaker 2: near I ten in Austin County. A local radio DJ
Speaker 2: said she saw the kangaroo while she was headed to
Speaker 2: work and said, never in my wildest dreams did I
Speaker 2: ever think a kangaroo would jump in front of my car,
Speaker 2: recorded the kangaroo on camera and said, you later found
Speaker 2: out that a nearby resident was missing a kangaroo.
Speaker 3: Think kangaroos be really aggressive? My I just picturing the
Speaker 3: ones that the box gloves.
Speaker 6: They'll rip you open, yeah, with their with their hind.
Speaker 2: Legs they've got usually they've got one big middle claw.
Speaker 6: Looks like a veloci raptor.
Speaker 3: Are you making stuff up again?
Speaker 6: Probably, I don't. I don't know.
Speaker 2: The Santa Anna School Board has voted in favor of
Speaker 2: massive teacher layoffs. During their meeting last night, they boarded.
Speaker 2: They voted four to one in favor of the proposed layoffs.
Speaker 2: Nothing is official until next year. These proposed staffing changes, though,
Speaker 2: could impact more than three hundred teachers across the district.
Speaker 2: Earlier this week, they proposed a three percent salary bomb
Speaker 2: and a three percent bonus for their superintendent, who already
Speaker 2: makes close to four hundred and fifty thousand dollars A ye.
Speaker 3: Are they cutting any administration positions?
Speaker 6: Why would they do that?
Speaker 2: Who's who's gonna administer if they don't have administrators? And
Speaker 2: then finally, Party Cities going out of business. The party
Speaker 2: city that was closest to us burned down shut down
Speaker 2: a long time ago. Chain is the largest party supply
Speaker 2: store in the United States recently exited bankruptcy. The plan
Speaker 2: includes canceling nearly a billion dollars in debt. Is this
Speaker 2: just because people can can get all this stuff online
Speaker 2: on Amazon?
Speaker 3: Oriental Trading Company Yeah, Big Lots is going out of
Speaker 3: business too, started going out of business. Sales at its
Speaker 3: last remaining locations.
Speaker 2: Substantially all of its assets will be sold to private
Speaker 2: equity firm Nexus Capital. They said it does not anticipate
Speaker 2: completing the transaction. As a result, they're starting They're going
Speaker 2: out of business sale all remaining locations in coming days.
Speaker 2: They are going to explore other options to save the company,
Speaker 2: including negotiating with Nexus or another buyer. They said the
Speaker 2: aim of completing a sale sometime by the end of January.
Speaker 8: Hi Agarian Shaman.
Speaker 9: Hey, I'm currently on a boat waiting to depart Sampedro
Speaker 9: to head to Mexico because there's no traffic, there's no
Speaker 9: but head Christmas shoppers, and I don't have to buy
Speaker 9: anybody anything for Christmas. So I just wanted to say
Speaker 9: Marry Christmas to the Gary and Channon Show, all the followers,
Speaker 9: and I'll see you guys when I come back next year.
Speaker 2: Happy holidays, Yeah, happy holidays. Have fun on the boat.
Speaker 2: Don't die like that other guy did. Oh people, Diane Boats.
Speaker 2: Big stories that we are following, one of course, is
Speaker 2: the government shutdown that is looming. House Speaker Mike Johnson
Speaker 2: has proposed a new plan. This one would temporarily fund
Speaker 2: federal operations and disaster really for a few months, but
Speaker 2: it kind of punts the debt limit increase that Trump
Speaker 2: wants into the new year. The Speaker has said there
Speaker 2: will be no government shutdown. He has insisted on that,
Speaker 2: and that's why they are still working. One thing that
Speaker 2: they're waiting for, by the way, they's kind of caught
Speaker 2: up or has kind of fallen by the wayside in
Speaker 2: this government shutdown talk is the Matt Gates Ethics Committee
Speaker 2: report will come out after they leave. That was the
Speaker 2: a thing they agreed to in the secret ballot when
Speaker 2: they agreed to release the Matt Gates Ethics report, they
Speaker 2: said they would do it after the House adjourns for Christmas,
Speaker 2: which they haven't done yet obviously, because they're still working
Speaker 2: on this. They were supposed to do it yesterday. They
Speaker 2: still have to work on this government shutdown, avoiding The government.
Speaker 3: Should usually release these reports for.
Speaker 2: Correct They usually don't release them for someone who's no
Speaker 2: longer in Congress. Yeah, they did it once before, I
Speaker 2: think for a guy out of Tennessee. So why now
Speaker 2: because he's pissed off everyone in that building. No one
Speaker 2: likes Matt Gates. It is one hundred percent retribution and
Speaker 2: it's not as if the guy, it's not like he
Speaker 2: has a bad reputation without earning it. He's he's a
Speaker 2: he's a bad person, or at least he's I shouldn't
Speaker 2: say he's a bad person.
Speaker 6: I don't know him personally. He is not nice to
Speaker 6: people that.
Speaker 3: You wouldn't want your daughter hanging around.
Speaker 2: I don't want my daughter, I don't want my son
Speaker 2: hanging around that. The other story internationally, a car is
Speaker 2: driven into a group of people at a Christmas market
Speaker 2: in an eastern German city. They said it was an attack.
Speaker 2: They said that people were injured. It's not clear how many.
Speaker 2: There's at least one report of one death. This comes
Speaker 2: just about almost exactly eight years after an attack at
Speaker 2: a Christmas market in Berlin that killed a bunch of
Speaker 2: people as well. A reminder what you learned this week
Speaker 2: on The Gary and Shannon Show is coming up at
Speaker 2: the bottom of the hour, and then our nine news
Speaker 2: nuggets you need to know with my wife playing a
Speaker 2: big part in the nuggets, am I Yeah, you're here, aren't.
Speaker 6: You gotta do something?
Speaker 2: And our Gas Fantasy for play Football.
Speaker 6: College football gets underway tonight.
Speaker 2: The twelve team college football playoffs starts with a game tonight.
Speaker 2: It's Indiana. Yeah, it's Indiana and Notre Dame in the
Speaker 2: very very cold set. I'll bend Indiana. They said, there's
Speaker 2: a bunch of snow on the ground and it could
Speaker 2: potentially snow tonight, but we're talking professional football. Last night,
Speaker 2: the Chargers ended up beating the Broncos with some weird
Speaker 2: stuff going on thirty four to twenty seven and Thursday
Speaker 2: Night Football, Jacob, I didn't know if you saw that
Speaker 2: picture of Shannon standing behind coach Harbaugh.
Speaker 6: Oh I did.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's very funny, she wrote. She sent me a
Speaker 2: picture of it and then said full circle. And I said,
Speaker 2: he completes you because she has had a crush on
Speaker 2: not a crush, but a coachy crush on Jim Harbough
Speaker 2: for a long time.
Speaker 6: All Right.
Speaker 3: I love that she loves it so much. I love
Speaker 3: it for her.
Speaker 6: Our cast Fantasy for Play, here's how we do it.
Speaker 2: Four games on the schedule coming up, and you tell
Speaker 2: us who you think is going to win each of
Speaker 2: these four games. And despite the fact that we've been
Speaker 2: doing this quite a bit, it's been an off year.
Speaker 2: I feel like not a whole lot of four And
Speaker 2: O's at least within our group. People who listened tend
Speaker 2: to get a lot more common a lot more often
Speaker 2: than we do. So you are you gonna read yours?
Speaker 2: Are you gonna read Shannon's? Are you gonna read Shannon's?
Speaker 6: And then say what you think she should have read Shannon's?
Speaker 3: And then say what correct her?
Speaker 7: There we go, So, Jacob, our first game? All right,
Speaker 7: game number one? This is our Saturday game. We have
Speaker 7: the Pittsburgh Steelers at the Baltimore Ravens.
Speaker 6: Steelers Ravens go ahead break down.
Speaker 3: Shannon chooses Ravens. Number one. Agrees with Shannon number two.
Speaker 3: Look at that strong home advantage, right, you got key
Speaker 3: players injured on the Steelers. Two words, Lamar Jackson Ravens
Speaker 3: all the way.
Speaker 6: Who's Who's Lamar Jackson?
Speaker 3: He's the guy in the Ravens.
Speaker 6: Jacob, who do you choose?
Speaker 7: Well, this is a big matchup in the AFC North,
Speaker 7: so more so for Rabe Jacob.
Speaker 6: She already handled the break I need.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with the Ravens, okay, and I got
Speaker 3: the Steelers.
Speaker 2: I agree with Keana. Never pick against Mike Tomlin. Who's
Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin?
Speaker 3: He's the guy on the Steelers.
Speaker 6: That's something like that second game.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 7: Game number two, we have the Minnesota Vikings at the
Speaker 7: Seattle Seahawks.
Speaker 3: Shannon's got Seahawks, and Shannon's got Seahawks. They need this
Speaker 3: one to stay in the PO.
Speaker 6: Race, in the what race?
Speaker 3: The playoffs? Get the lingo?
Speaker 6: Come on, what are okay? Jacob? I'm going Seattle.
Speaker 3: Vikings.
Speaker 6: I also picked the Vikings. Something going on here between
Speaker 6: Keana and I.
Speaker 8: All right?
Speaker 4: Game three?
Speaker 6: Game number three is our dumpster fire game.
Speaker 7: We have the Jacksonville Jaguars at the Las Vegas Raiders.
Speaker 3: This one is a stinker, Jeff, that's it. Stinker, Shannon says,
Speaker 3: the Raiders, and Miss Shannon says. I'm going with Shannon
Speaker 3: because you know that losing streak's got a break sometime, right,
Speaker 3: And even with all those quarterback issues, I think it's
Speaker 3: the Raiders.
Speaker 6: This is scaring me. This is I am uncomfortable.
Speaker 2: I am I'm not too proud to say it, Jacob
Speaker 2: Jacksonville Las Vegas Jacks.
Speaker 6: Is Trevor Lawrence back? No, it's still Mac Jones.
Speaker 2: Mac Jones is not an awful quarterback, not but he
Speaker 2: didn't have a great game last week. Yeah, I just
Speaker 2: think that the dumpster nature of the fire is hotter
Speaker 2: for the Raiders, So I'm picking the Jaguars as well.
Speaker 9: Keana, I gasped when I saw these scores, these standings.
Speaker 3: It was terrible, But I'm going with the Raiders.
Speaker 6: Okay. And then finally, all right, fourth, fourth and last game.
Speaker 7: We had the San Francisco forty nine ers at Miami
Speaker 7: to take on the Dolphins.
Speaker 6: Okay, a rematch of the Dolphins Super Bowl sixteen from
Speaker 6: nineteen eighty four.
Speaker 3: Go on, well, listen. Miami always has that home advantage
Speaker 3: that works in their favor. But the Niners have a
Speaker 3: pretty long injured list, am I right? Yes, We've got
Speaker 3: Christian McCaffrey. We've got Jordan Mason with a high ankle spring.
Speaker 3: We've got Nick Bosa. He's got that hinky hip. It's
Speaker 3: a long list.
Speaker 2: Hinky hip is an official injury report, pinky hip.
Speaker 6: So who do you choose?
Speaker 3: The Dolphins?
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sorry you said it with such a plump,
Speaker 2: Jacob forty nine ers, Dolphins.
Speaker 6: I gotta go forty nine ers on this one, uh, Keana.
Speaker 3: I got my Dolphins, and I have.
Speaker 2: The forty nine ers as well, because they can't suck
Speaker 2: that bad forever, whereas boy I can dream, Miami absolutely could. Hey, okay,
Speaker 2: so those are our four games. Steelers Ravens, Viking, Seahawks,
Speaker 2: Jaguars Raiders, forty nine Ers Dolphins. A note, as Jacob
Speaker 2: said that Steelers Ravens game is tomorrow. It's Saturday, so
Speaker 2: it's kickoff at one thirty, so you got to get
Speaker 2: this week's Gas Fantasy four play picks in before kickoff.
Speaker 2: But tomorrow one thirty is the deadline. Next week, we're
Speaker 2: doing another Gas Fantasy four play for week seventeen. We
Speaker 2: will post that on Twitter at Gary and Shannon, and
Speaker 2: you can make your picks for next week. We aren't
Speaker 2: going to do a full segment on it or anything
Speaker 2: next week, but we'll do new We'll do the picks.
Speaker 6: Unless you're busy or not busy.
Speaker 2: Maybe we come back down and just do one segment
Speaker 2: of football picks Gas Fantasy for play again. You can
Speaker 2: respond to our post our tweet on X or X
Speaker 2: or post on X whatever it is, or use the
Speaker 2: hashtag gas Fantasy four play, even though Elon says.
Speaker 6: You don't need to use hashtags anymore.
Speaker 2: The House is going to make another attempt at passing
Speaker 2: legislation to a vertic government shutdown. The package that they're
Speaker 2: going to vote on now, this is considered a Plan C.
Speaker 2: I guess looks a lot like Plan B. It would
Speaker 2: fund the government at the current level through the middle
Speaker 2: of March. It would extend the farm Bill by a year,
Speaker 2: and appropriate billions of dollars in disasterate assistance for farmers
Speaker 2: as well. These are all the things that were in
Speaker 2: Plan B that failed last night. But different from Plan
Speaker 2: B is that the bill that they would vote on
Speaker 2: today would not include language that would raise the debt limit.
Speaker 2: Democrats and some Republicans came out against this provision, despite
Speaker 2: the fact that President elect Trump demanded that there be
Speaker 2: a raising of the debt limit in that package. So again,
Speaker 2: we're still eight hours or so less than nine hours
Speaker 2: away from a potential government shutdown, and we'll see exactly
Speaker 2: what it is that happens. Shannon Number one is in today,
Speaker 2: My wife Shannon in for Shannon Farren.
Speaker 9: So Gary and Shannon show Yes with Gary and his wife.

Speaker 6: and Shannon Shannon.
Speaker 11: This week on The Gary and Shannon and Shannon Show,
Speaker 11: I learned about one hundred and eighty four foot flagpole
Speaker 11: in Calipteria, California. That's a really cut story about how
Speaker 11: the town folks came together and helped one of their
Speaker 11: own through a tragic time. I'm glad you guys shared that.

Speaker 4: What I've learned this week on Gary and Shannon is
Speaker 4: that Gary can do a radio show with two Shannons,
Speaker 4: but only one at a time.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 2: That's an excellent point. I can't imagine if the both
Speaker 2: of you were here at the same.
Speaker 3: Time and you go together.
Speaker 12: Gary, I learned.
Speaker 6: Well that was almost three because her sister was there also.
Speaker 8: Gary.
Speaker 12: Yes, I learned you live in the nineteen seventies.
Speaker 6: Yes, I do.
Speaker 12: Your wife rolls down her window and you is going,
Speaker 12: marijuana is pott. It's twenty twenty four, Dade. Oh, it's
Speaker 12: mad it.
Speaker 2: Marijuana is not pot. I mean, I understand it's you
Speaker 2: don't say pot. It's like saying I'm going to go
Speaker 2: smoke grass dope.
Speaker 6: It's dope.
Speaker 2: But if I'm trying to explain it to my own parents.
Speaker 2: Then yes, I'm going to say the words that they
Speaker 2: would have remembered it.
Speaker 3: One thing I learned this week is that Gary actually
Speaker 3: does have a wife.
Speaker 10: She's not some fictional character that lives in Canada.
Speaker 3: Like your high school girlfriend Junior High Junior.
Speaker 6: High, Hi, Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 10: This is built from Arizona six two to fifteen executive
Speaker 10: protection specialists. What I learned this week Shannon unwittingly out
Speaker 10: at her husband for admitting he drinks Michelo Ultra. Everyone
Speaker 10: knows mickel Ultra is a chicken beer.
Speaker 8: Yep.
Speaker 10: Gary prefers strippers with leg bruises and do not wait
Speaker 10: my way of Shannon at Whole Food's coffee line.
Speaker 6: Thanks Okay.
Speaker 2: To clarify a couple of things I've which part the strippernes, oh,
Speaker 2: the leg bruises whatever. We were talking about a Tuesday,
Speaker 2: we were talking about chicken strips. Somebody said they were
Speaker 2: going to leave their job at the out at the port.
Speaker 2: They're a dock worker. They're going to get the chicken
Speaker 2: strips at some gentlemen's club because it had better chicken strips.
Speaker 2: And it was Tuesday at noon and I said, that
Speaker 2: must not be prime time for the ladies.
Speaker 6: Uh go Tuesday News.
Speaker 2: And the other thing is I've never seen Shannon's husband.
Speaker 2: I've never seen him drink a michelobultra. I know she
Speaker 2: said he likes it, but every time I've never seen
Speaker 2: him drink that, he's always had much better taste around me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, pressure, what I learned this week.
Speaker 1: If I call and leave a talk back seven times
Speaker 1: and sound like an absolute idiot each and every single time,
Speaker 1: you'll put me on the air.
Speaker 6: Yes I will. I'll be doing this six more times
Speaker 6: by the way.
Speaker 8: Okay, Hey Gary, Hey Shannon number one, Hey Shannon, great job.
Speaker 7: Feeling in today for Shannon number two, wondering where she's at.
Speaker 4: Maybe the Chargers after party. She didn't make it because
Speaker 4: of that or something.
Speaker 10: But anyways, Now, what I learned on the Gary Shannon
Speaker 10: Show today is Gary has special underpants like Dad's.
Speaker 6: Like are they? I want to think of the Superman
Speaker 6: green lantern or.
Speaker 3: What depends on the day.
Speaker 6: Trucker, nice trucker.
Speaker 2: Right back at you, Hong Kong, did you want to
Speaker 2: describe them?
Speaker 6: Careful? Turn about his fair play? Moving on, moving on,
Speaker 6: It's time for our nine news nugget. You need to know.
Speaker 6: These are the stories. They kind of fell through the
Speaker 6: cracks because we were pretty busy this week.
Speaker 2: There was a lot going on. So so here's your
Speaker 2: honorable mention.
Speaker 6: Honorable mention, not just an honor serving with you.
Speaker 4: Great and honorable Moses.
Speaker 7: So today we're holding auditions to become the newest member
Speaker 7: of honorable Mention.
Speaker 3: Honorable Mention. Serial offender caught munching breakfast at wheel.
Speaker 6: I don't know you want more?
Speaker 3: What do you want to say?
Speaker 2: A van driver was eating cereal and when he was
Speaker 2: stopped by police. This is in the BBC more than
Speaker 2: one hundred and ninety offences recorded by police across Yorkshire
Speaker 2: during a month long crackdown on some of the major roads.
Speaker 2: They were trying to get away from distracted driving. They
Speaker 2: said there were a bunch of two handed textures and
Speaker 2: those who were happy to waive a single finger of
Speaker 2: frustration when spotted by police.
Speaker 3: I liked that it says the cereal ear was spotted
Speaker 3: in North Yorkshire, and as was the driver who raised
Speaker 3: his middle digit when he realized he had been recorded
Speaker 3: not wearing a seatbelt.
Speaker 2: Others showed an HGV driver. I don't know what that means.
Speaker 2: Driver typing on a tablet or laptop computer while at
Speaker 2: the wheel. A Ford Focus driver was also caught using
Speaker 2: both hands to text on their mobile phone. I mean,
Speaker 2: if you have a car that's going to drive itself,
Speaker 2: it's probably not.
Speaker 3: I mean he was just driving with his knee.
Speaker 6: There's also that number nine, number nine.
Speaker 4: I did nine place.
Speaker 10: If a CoP's dirty nine times out of tennis partners dirty.
Speaker 3: Two and I speak nine languages at nine basically everybody
Speaker 3: at table learning, I'd beel ready to go on another nine?
Speaker 8: And niner?
Speaker 6: Did I get check niner in there where you're calling.
Speaker 7: From Milwaukie talking.
Speaker 6: This is always an issue.
Speaker 2: If you do one of those gift exchanges where you
Speaker 2: put a money limit on it, you're going to run
Speaker 2: into some issues, especially if for some reason you find
Speaker 2: out that someone under I mean it's an upper limit. No,
Speaker 2: there's no bottom limit, right. A man says he opted
Speaker 2: to downgrade his sister in law's Christmas gift after realizing
Speaker 2: what she bought him was not at the same level
Speaker 2: this has been. It was on Reddit, where you can
Speaker 2: share all of your dirty secrets, whether they're true or not.
Speaker 2: He explained that he'd recently gotten his first career job
Speaker 2: and he's using his new source of income to get
Speaker 2: good presents for his family members for the first time.
Speaker 6: What's that like. They celebrated early with the sister in law.
Speaker 2: The man's brother got her an Apple watch, and then
Speaker 2: this guy planned to buy her a nice Apple watch
Speaker 2: banned because she didn't like the silicone bands that come
Speaker 2: with them.
Speaker 6: Typically she was.
Speaker 2: Going to step up a little bit, perhaps, and he says,
Speaker 2: we set a limit for between fifteen one hundred bucks.
Speaker 2: Apple put out this sleek gold metal band that cost
Speaker 2: one hundred, so it was at the limit, but it
Speaker 2: was at the top of the limit. And as the
Speaker 2: band is sized, ordered a wrist size her and a
Speaker 2: photo of the band itself and put her inside this
Speaker 2: gigantic box to be funny so that she actually had
Speaker 2: something to open. Then it was his turn to open
Speaker 2: the sister is in law's gift for him.
Speaker 3: I got these hiking socks, which I have been slowly
Speaker 3: swapping my sock drawer out, but cost twenty six dollars
Speaker 3: a pair. They're useful and I do love socks, but
Speaker 3: it's half the range. We decided on what a petty bee.
Speaker 6: You got a gift from your sister in law and
Speaker 6: it's something you like. Yeah, it's okay.
Speaker 3: I don't like the stuff I get from my sister
Speaker 3: in Now.
Speaker 2: I'm just kidding, kidding which one, because I know a
Speaker 2: couple of them. Here's number eighth.
Speaker 4: A tide is bold every eight second listening to eight.
Speaker 6: Different bosses drown on about mission statements.
Speaker 2: Hey, we've seen weird food items, weird shapes that then
Speaker 2: get auctioned on eBay, or something like a dorito in
Speaker 2: the face in the shape of Abraham Lincoln silhouette, or
Speaker 2: a cheeto that looks like a cheetah or something. In
Speaker 2: this case, an egg bought from a supermarket in Britain
Speaker 2: donated to a charity went up for sale because it's
Speaker 2: almost perfectly spherical. It's not egg shaped, it's a ball
Speaker 2: and fifty bucks. Ed Powell was the person who bought it.
Speaker 2: He said he bought the egg on impulse after having
Speaker 2: a few drinks.
Speaker 6: Donated the egg to.
Speaker 2: The Juventus Foundation. Juventus, a charity that supports young people
Speaker 2: in Oxford. Sure, Oxford. Sure, Here's number seven.
Speaker 6: The seventh son of the seventh son.
Speaker 4: We're on a seven day with a government.
Speaker 3: Seven seven years of college done, seven seven.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I used to have these. You used to have these,
Speaker 6: I tell.
Speaker 3: I used to have these. Nothing like getting your kid
Speaker 3: a huffing kit for Christmas.
Speaker 2: A fifteen piece bubble ball toy that they sell in Canada.
Speaker 2: I don't see them around here anymore. I feel like
Speaker 2: they were they were outlawed here. But this is a
Speaker 2: it's a kit that has a short plastic straw and
Speaker 2: a solvent mixture. You mix it up and you put
Speaker 2: it like on the end of the straw and you
Speaker 2: blow into it and it creates this weird multicolored balloon.
Speaker 2: But if you sh suck the air back in after
Speaker 2: it's been in the solvement solvent, it says it could
Speaker 2: cause extended periods symptoms central nervous system depression or dysfunction, euphoria, hallucinations, dizzyness,
Speaker 2: and difficulties with coordination and voluntary.
Speaker 6: So these are nine night bubbles, But it's more than that.
Speaker 2: It sounds like like we were saying earlier, when it
Speaker 2: comes to sleep, is psychedelics?
Speaker 6: Is it? Maybe it's a really bad trip.
Speaker 3: They are available on Amazon in the US. Yeah, look
Speaker 3: at that eleven ninety eight.
Speaker 6: Can we get him for stocking stuffers for the kids?
Speaker 3: You think sure?
Speaker 6: Number six? I got six, you got six, she got six.
Speaker 6: Number six, there's six more weeks of water.
Speaker 3: A picture of me, Rabbi and six drunk and longshom.
Speaker 4: Why we just dig in a nursing home closer to us.
Speaker 2: I don't have to take dad drink another six pack.
Speaker 6: Well, they're halfway there.
Speaker 2: Joy Rogan, sorry, Joy Ryan and her forty three year
Speaker 2: old grandson Brad.
Speaker 6: Joy is ninety one.
Speaker 2: She has a goal that she wants to visit every
Speaker 2: continent with her grandson. She's up to number four because
Speaker 2: she made it to Antarctica. She so sweet and forty
Speaker 2: three year old Brad reached Antarctica on a hybrid battery
Speaker 2: powered cruise ship, their fourth continent together and halfway point
Speaker 2: on their mission to visit just every continent together. Said
Speaker 2: that Brad took Grandma Joy, as she's known, to the
Speaker 2: Great Smoky Mountains National Park in twenty fifteen. She said,
Speaker 2: I slept in a tent. I climbed a mountain all
Speaker 2: for the first time at the age of eighty five.
Speaker 3: So maybe when I made you five, I'll sleep in
Speaker 3: a tent.
Speaker 2: I still don't think that's gonna happen unless it's a
Speaker 2: mosquito tent in the house for some reason.
Speaker 6: Here's number five five. I have we begin bombing in
Speaker 6: five minutes. Five little monkey, this is the year five
Speaker 6: point five.
Speaker 4: Five would be a favorite.
Speaker 6: Loose five pounds immediately listen.
Speaker 3: I know Harvey. He was married, father of five gaggle
Speaker 3: of grandchildren. He deserved it.
Speaker 2: I don't know if he deserved it, but his grandkids
Speaker 2: have an incredible story to tell about their grandpappy. This
Speaker 2: is Lester Harvey, fifty eight year old Phoenix, Virginia. He
Speaker 2: had been out hunting with a group following a bear.
Speaker 2: The bear ran up the tree as they got back
Speaker 2: and sort of retreated from the tree a bit, maybe
Speaker 2: to have a better angle at it. One of the
Speaker 2: guys shot the bear, and the animal does what animals
Speaker 2: do when they're in a tree and dead. He fell
Speaker 2: out of it and the bear fell onto Lester Harvey.
Speaker 3: Now the first time this has happened. In twenty eighteen,
Speaker 3: a man in Alaska was injured after his hunting partner
Speaker 3: shot a bear and the animal tumbled down a slope
Speaker 3: into the man, who was also struck by rocks just
Speaker 3: lodged by the bear.
Speaker 2: Listen, don't mess with them. I don't have a problem
Speaker 2: with that. The bear's fighting back the other one. In
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen, a guy was injured. He and his hunting
Speaker 2: partner shot a bear in a tree in North Carolina.
Speaker 2: The bear falls out and starts to bite the guy.
Speaker 6: You shot him. What did you expect him to do?
Speaker 2: If you're not a good shot and you can't kill him?
Speaker 2: The man in the animal tumbled off a cliff. The
Speaker 2: hunter had to be taken to the hospital. The bear
Speaker 2: was later found dead at the bottom of said cliff.
Speaker 6: Here's number four or minute.
Speaker 3: It's probably on his fourth tranquilizer by now, Commandment number four.
Speaker 6: The This isn't the same world you left four years ago,
Speaker 6: so I'm not quite sure exactly how this happens.
Speaker 2: But a grandma who had the license plate number NCC
Speaker 2: seventeen oh one.
Speaker 6: Does that make sense anybody at ring a bell?
Speaker 2: It's the number and letters on the starship Enterprise.
Speaker 3: I don't understand this. Why is this the problem?
Speaker 2: A mom was losing her eye sight, so she gave
Speaker 2: up driving, sold her car, surrendered her license plates a
Speaker 2: few years ago, but the New York plates have been
Speaker 2: trying to buy matching novelty plates, or have been, i
Speaker 2: should say, buying matching novelty plates with the same USS
Speaker 2: Enterprise numbers on at the NCC seventeen oh one.
Speaker 6: So for some reason, she's still getting tickets.
Speaker 2: These other drivers are going through red light cameras or
Speaker 2: speeding cameras, and she's the one getting thousands of dollars
Speaker 2: worth of tickets because apparently it's still registered in her name.
Speaker 10: Here's number three shall be the non badashaws and the
Speaker 10: number of the counting.
Speaker 4: Shall be three. Were dead within three hours.
Speaker 5: Three security clearance level three, all.
Speaker 4: Three of you three.
Speaker 6: I got all three of you guys for the rest
Speaker 6: of your naturally born live. After that three days, they
Speaker 6: both start to stink.
Speaker 2: So my prediction is we're going to see stories out
Speaker 2: of this funeral home very very quickly.
Speaker 3: This is a brilliant idea.
Speaker 2: A story at a Columbus, Ohio a funeral home has
Speaker 2: applied for a liquor license, the Evergreen Funeral, Cremation and
Speaker 2: Reception Center. They said it's a unique twist to a
Speaker 2: celebration of life and they want to change how people
Speaker 2: view the average funeral.
Speaker 3: Mixed cub ultra for everyone.
Speaker 2: So let's get everyone drunk and talk about what Grandpa did?
Speaker 3: You know what? It'll make a little bit more real.
Speaker 6: Do you think those weren't real?
Speaker 3: I just think it'll maybe open up the honesty tap
Speaker 3: a little bit at the eulogies.
Speaker 2: Maybe you can't you can't have a drink until you
Speaker 2: say something nice about Grandpa Grandma.
Speaker 6: Here's number two. What's going on?
Speaker 4: We got two fingers one two.
Speaker 6: People.
Speaker 8: There's two sons and no women.
Speaker 2: Different parts of the world, man, they do things a
Speaker 2: little bit differently. This guy was struggling with fertility, wanted
Speaker 2: to be a father, So what better way to induce
Speaker 2: I guess what sperm production than to swallow a live chicken?
Speaker 3: Just eat the testicles. It's a chick. Oh.
Speaker 2: I mean it's a small one, but it's but he
Speaker 2: he choked on it and died, as did the chick
Speaker 2: and chick and doctors performed an autopsy. They said, originally
Speaker 2: they couldn't tell what it was that killed him, and
Speaker 2: then they made an incision near his throat and realized
Speaker 2: that there was a chick stuck in there.
Speaker 3: Wouldn't have been amazing if the chick was still alive,
Speaker 3: and they cut it open, and.
Speaker 2: Then they saved it and raised it like their own,
Speaker 2: their own little baby. Here's number one, we'd number one,
Speaker 2: number one.
Speaker 4: We're number one, ben I decided to look out for
Speaker 4: number one.
Speaker 8: Are you the number one row? Number one?
Speaker 4: Number number one?
Speaker 2: Well, everybody likes to go through their latest issue of
Speaker 2: urology case reports, and in this one latest the latest issue,
Speaker 2: a man's routine visit to a doctor turned into a
Speaker 2: nightmare after physicians discovered that his penis was solidifying. Not
Speaker 2: like that, not like that, it was turning to bone,
Speaker 2: not like that. The unnamed patient, in his sixties had
Speaker 2: reported to the doctor's office for a trauma of the knee,
Speaker 2: but during the visit, he alerted medics it hurts right there.
Speaker 3: Also, upon examination, physicians didn't find any prostates, dwelling, unusual discharge,
Speaker 3: or any of the usual markers of phallic agony, so
Speaker 3: they conducted an X ray to look for possible pelvic fractures.
Speaker 3: The images revealed the hard truth. The patient had extensive
Speaker 3: blacklike calcification along the length of the manhood. You love
Speaker 3: the story so much.
Speaker 2: Well, they said they can treat it through shockwave therapy,
Speaker 2: in which doctors use sonic pulses to break down the
Speaker 2: calcified mass.
Speaker 3: Now how they get rid of kidney stones?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Yeah, hell, hey, thank you thanks.
Speaker 3: For having me take your wife to workday.
Speaker 2: Yes, now we get to go sit in silence for
Speaker 2: the drive home. Right, Oh, I have so much to say.
Speaker 6: Oh boy, I'm.
Speaker 2: Getting notes after the Santa all right, John Cobelchow is
Speaker 2: up next. We'll see you in the beginning of the year.
Speaker 2: Have a great holiday, Happy, Happy Hanukah, Merry Christmas, Abi Kwanza,
Speaker 2: Happy Kwanza, Happy New Year, Boxing Day, and then we'll
Speaker 2: celebrate my birthday.
