00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:02.919
<v Speaker 1>This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI

2
00:00:03.080 --> 00:00:05.839
<v Speaker 1>AM six forty the Gary and Shannon Show on demand

3
00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:07.200
<v Speaker 1>on the iHeartRadio app.

4
00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:09.960
<v Speaker 2>There's some other quick political things outside of the United States.

5
00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:13.080
<v Speaker 2>To mention that one of them is in South Korea,

6
00:00:13.279 --> 00:00:16.199
<v Speaker 2>the opposition parties have now submitted a motion to impeach

7
00:00:16.280 --> 00:00:20.280
<v Speaker 2>the President of South Korea over that short lived martial

8
00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:23.440
<v Speaker 2>law that was declared drew heavily armed troops to encircle

9
00:00:23.480 --> 00:00:27.719
<v Speaker 2>Parliament before lawmakers literally climbed walls to re enter the

10
00:00:27.719 --> 00:00:31.920
<v Speaker 2>building and unanimously vote to lift his order. He could

11
00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:34.799
<v Speaker 2>be impeached, it would require two thirds of Parliament at

12
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:38.600
<v Speaker 2>least six justices of the nine member Constitutional Court would

13
00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:41.359
<v Speaker 2>have to endorse it and then remove him from office.

14
00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:44.719
<v Speaker 2>And also in France, a no confidence vote backed by

15
00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:47.600
<v Speaker 2>the far right and the far left in France expected

16
00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:50.439
<v Speaker 2>to gather enough votes to bring down the Prime Minister there,

17
00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:55.359
<v Speaker 2>Michelle Bonnier, would be the shortest living, sorry shortest serving

18
00:00:55.399 --> 00:00:58.679
<v Speaker 2>government in modern French Republic and the first in six

19
00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:01.280
<v Speaker 2>decades to be taken out by no confidence vote.

20
00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:04.560
<v Speaker 3>And then the problem is there's nothing behind it.

21
00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:08.120
<v Speaker 2>There's no obvious cast of politicians that would form any

22
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:11.519
<v Speaker 2>sort of a stable government, which could decimate the economy

23
00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:12.640
<v Speaker 2>of Europe.

24
00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:15.599
<v Speaker 1>Bill Maher says he may quit real time because he's

25
00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:17.480
<v Speaker 1>tired of talking about Trump. He says, I did Trump.

26
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:19.519
<v Speaker 1>I did all the Trump stuff before everybody. I called

27
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:22.120
<v Speaker 1>him a con man before everybody. He's a mafia boss.

28
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:23.959
<v Speaker 1>I was the one who said he wasn't going to

29
00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:28.200
<v Speaker 1>concede the election. I've done it, said. He's very hostile

30
00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:30.640
<v Speaker 1>to me. He tweets about me every week. Every week

31
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:34.719
<v Speaker 1>he accidentally watches my show and then writes low ratings, loser.

32
00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:41.000
<v Speaker 3>Your impression. It's time for swamp watch. Swamp is horrible.

33
00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:42.480
<v Speaker 3>The government doesn't work.

34
00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:46.359
<v Speaker 4>Man, gonna make this like a reality TV show.

35
00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:48.359
<v Speaker 3>A bad doos.

36
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:50.359
<v Speaker 5>Always a pleasure to be anywhere from Washington, DC.

37
00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:54.560
<v Speaker 1>Hey, Joe, A town all too clearly built on a

38
00:01:54.640 --> 00:01:57.239
<v Speaker 1>swamp and in so many ways still a swamp.

39
00:01:57.280 --> 00:01:59.239
<v Speaker 3>I have to watch a malwarkey. What he said, drained

40
00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:01.599
<v Speaker 3>the swamp. I said, Oh, that's so I'll keep you happen.

41
00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:04.480
<v Speaker 6>Man. You know the thing.

42
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:09.479
<v Speaker 2>Well, The uncomfortable conversations continue on Capitol Hill today. It

43
00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:13.199
<v Speaker 2>is nominee for Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, who has

44
00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:16.680
<v Speaker 2>been going around having conversations with senators who would then

45
00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:24.360
<v Speaker 2>decide on his confirmation. The issues right now surround a

46
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:26.960
<v Speaker 2>couple of different things. We've talked about the allegation that

47
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:29.560
<v Speaker 2>he sexually assaulted a woman seven years ago. He says

48
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:33.280
<v Speaker 2>it was consensual, no charges Wherever brought other reports about

49
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:38.439
<v Speaker 2>abuse in his marriages, not physical necessarily, but mental and

50
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:41.639
<v Speaker 2>verbal abuse in his marriages, extramarital activities. One of the

51
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:44.520
<v Speaker 2>reasons he got divorced is he knocked up a producer

52
00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:47.759
<v Speaker 2>at Fox News while he was working there. Drinking habits

53
00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:49.879
<v Speaker 2>was also one of the things that has come out

54
00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:52.439
<v Speaker 2>that people that used to work with him at Fox

55
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:54.520
<v Speaker 2>were concerned about how much he was drinking.

56
00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:56.520
<v Speaker 1>See, this is the same problem I have with a

57
00:02:56.639 --> 00:02:59.639
<v Speaker 1>sitting president Biden, you call him at four in the morning,

58
00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:00.800
<v Speaker 1>what you going to get?

59
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:02.000
<v Speaker 5>And now he's not drunk.

60
00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:05.759
<v Speaker 1>But again with Pete haig Seth, you when your secretary

61
00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:07.120
<v Speaker 1>of Defense, you've got to be able to take that

62
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:09.039
<v Speaker 1>call at four in the morning and just be completely

63
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:11.680
<v Speaker 1>clear headed. We don't have that for a sitting president,

64
00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:16.759
<v Speaker 1>which is awful. But the secretary of Defense is another

65
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:19.360
<v Speaker 1>person who needs to be on his or her game

66
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:22.800
<v Speaker 1>twenty four hours a day, or just ready to answer

67
00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:23.240
<v Speaker 1>that call.

68
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:25.120
<v Speaker 2>And that's the kind of thing that we would see

69
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:30.719
<v Speaker 2>with the confirmation hearing and I like beer well, we

70
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:32.960
<v Speaker 2>did talk about that when we talk about Matt Gates

71
00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:35.039
<v Speaker 2>and whatever confirmation hearing he was going to go through

72
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:38.080
<v Speaker 2>was going to make the Brett Kavanaugh hearings look, you know,

73
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:42.800
<v Speaker 2>childish in comparison. And if Pete Haigseth is taken, is

74
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:47.840
<v Speaker 2>continues in his nomination, is put before the Senate, it's

75
00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:50.240
<v Speaker 2>going to get uncomfortable for him and for all of us.

76
00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:53.159
<v Speaker 2>We also told you The New York Times published an

77
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:56.159
<v Speaker 2>email that his mother had sent him during one of

78
00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:59.240
<v Speaker 2>his divorces, where she just ripped into him, I mean

79
00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:04.680
<v Speaker 2>just talked about her disappointment and his character and the

80
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:08.240
<v Speaker 2>way he was treating women and his wives, and she

81
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:12.000
<v Speaker 2>had In the New York Times article, they did point

82
00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:15.000
<v Speaker 2>out that she said she had apologized to him, that

83
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:18.639
<v Speaker 2>she wrote the email in a very passionate moment in

84
00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:21.079
<v Speaker 2>her life, that she was very angry, and then she

85
00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:23.000
<v Speaker 2>went on Fox Today to talk more about her.

86
00:04:22.920 --> 00:04:25.560
<v Speaker 4>They were going through Pete and his wife at the

87
00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:28.279
<v Speaker 4>time were going through a very difficult divorce. It was

88
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:31.079
<v Speaker 4>a very emotional time, and I'm sure many of you

89
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:35.879
<v Speaker 4>across the country understand how difficult divorce is on a family.

90
00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:42.079
<v Speaker 4>There's emotions, we say things, and I wrote that in haste.

91
00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:46.600
<v Speaker 4>I wrote that with deep emotions. I wrote that as

92
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:51.399
<v Speaker 4>a parent, and about two hours later I should I should.

93
00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:53.079
<v Speaker 4>My husband tells me I should think through things a

94
00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:56.160
<v Speaker 4>little bit more, but Pete and I are both very

95
00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:57.040
<v Speaker 4>passionate people.

96
00:04:57.920 --> 00:04:58.920
<v Speaker 5>I wrote that out of love.

97
00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:04.160
<v Speaker 4>About two hours later I retracted it with an apology email.

98
00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:05.600
<v Speaker 4>But nobody's seen that.

99
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:12.759
<v Speaker 2>Somebody had commented that if we had a similar instance

100
00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:16.439
<v Speaker 2>where Joe Biden, for example, had written something to Hunter

101
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:20.040
<v Speaker 2>about his decisions that he was making and the way

102
00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:22.519
<v Speaker 2>he was treating his wives and his kids and etc.

103
00:05:22.879 --> 00:05:26.759
<v Speaker 2>That we would be all over publishing that. This is no,

104
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:27.279
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't.

105
00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:31.639
<v Speaker 1>I don't like airing out a familial dirty laundry like

106
00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:35.279
<v Speaker 1>that in the New York Times especially, but really anywhere.

107
00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:36.839
<v Speaker 1>I think it's below the belt, and I think it's

108
00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:39.680
<v Speaker 1>playing dirty. And like I said earlier, we have a

109
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:41.600
<v Speaker 1>right to know, the public has a right to know.

110
00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:45.279
<v Speaker 1>But to a point, and this guy running around on women.

111
00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:46.040
<v Speaker 5>It does not.

112
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:50.160
<v Speaker 1>It's not even relevant when you think about the job

113
00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:51.480
<v Speaker 1>of Secretary of Defense.

114
00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:56.000
<v Speaker 5>It's not our business. The drinking thing is our business.

115
00:05:56.120 --> 00:05:58.480
<v Speaker 1>If that's truly a problem, because that means he can't

116
00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:01.040
<v Speaker 1>take that phone call of twenty four hours a day.

117
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:04.600
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean senators would have the because they have

118
00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:08.079
<v Speaker 2>the opportunity to advise and consent. You know that the

119
00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:12.680
<v Speaker 2>idea that a person's character is important to that decision

120
00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:15.160
<v Speaker 2>making process. So I wouldn't say it doesn't. I would

121
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:17.639
<v Speaker 2>say it doesn't. It's not that it doesn't matter.

122
00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:21.040
<v Speaker 1>But look at JFKA, look at Martin Luther King Junior.

123
00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:24.480
<v Speaker 1>That had great character, but they also ran around on

124
00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:25.120
<v Speaker 1>their wives.

125
00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:26.879
<v Speaker 3>But that means they didn't have great character.

126
00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:27.639
<v Speaker 5>But that's the thing.

127
00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:30.839
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you can have great character in certain areas,

128
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:31.680
<v Speaker 1>certain areas.

129
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:35.600
<v Speaker 2>Yes, and listen, we're not centators, so we don't get

130
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:36.519
<v Speaker 2>to ask that quest God.

131
00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:42.000
<v Speaker 3>So with all of this going on, there's.

132
00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:44.879
<v Speaker 2>A chance that Donald Trump asks Ronda Santis to be

133
00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:45.759
<v Speaker 2>the Secretary of Defense.

134
00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:46.879
<v Speaker 3>We'll talk about that when we come back.

135
00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:50.360
<v Speaker 1>Also, the White House Press Corps is losing its mind

136
00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:53.680
<v Speaker 1>over what Trump may do to shake up the briefing room.

137
00:06:54.920 --> 00:06:57.360
<v Speaker 3>What he may do, what he will do.

138
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:03.279
<v Speaker 1>The CEO of the nation's largest tell Santa the nation's largest,

139
00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:03.680
<v Speaker 1>it's like.

140
00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:08.279
<v Speaker 5>God, bit different. Now you're gonna make people well, reverence

141
00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:11.480
<v Speaker 5>just having reverence. Okay, that's all I met.

142
00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:15.639
<v Speaker 1>The CEO of the nation's largest health insurance Why am

143
00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:16.839
<v Speaker 1>I laughing through this? Now?

144
00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:19.680
<v Speaker 5>You made me laugh And I was trying to deliver.

145
00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:23.399
<v Speaker 1>Sad news, bad news. Was murdered in New York City.

146
00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:29.279
<v Speaker 1>A targeted attack. Manhunt underway. They're using dogs, they're using drones. Everything.

147
00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:31.480
<v Speaker 1>This was a like I said, targeted. He was in

148
00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:33.920
<v Speaker 1>a ski mask, took off on an e bike, and

149
00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:37.079
<v Speaker 1>they say he may currently be in Central Park, which

150
00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:37.800
<v Speaker 1>is massive.

151
00:07:37.839 --> 00:07:38.319
<v Speaker 5>As you know.

152
00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:42.519
<v Speaker 1>His wife, the CEO's wife, says he had been the

153
00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:47.720
<v Speaker 1>target of threats recently about being denied coverage or not

154
00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:49.240
<v Speaker 1>not covered or what have you.

155
00:07:52.399 --> 00:07:54.600
<v Speaker 2>Back to swamp Watch and we talked about Pete hag

156
00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:58.439
<v Speaker 2>Seth and the the pantload of baggage that he brings

157
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:01.560
<v Speaker 2>with him to this nomination for Secretary of Defense, and

158
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:03.800
<v Speaker 2>it's looking less and less likely that he would be

159
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:07.360
<v Speaker 2>not that he would be confirmed. In fact, South Carolina

160
00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:10.680
<v Speaker 2>Senator Lindsey Graham said today, I think some of these

161
00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:15.199
<v Speaker 2>articles are very disturbing. He told CBS. Hegseeth obviously has

162
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:17.879
<v Speaker 2>a chance to defend himself here being the Senate, but

163
00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:22.519
<v Speaker 2>some of this stuff is going to be difficult. So

164
00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:27.160
<v Speaker 2>apparently Trump has been floating the idea of replacing his

165
00:08:27.279 --> 00:08:32.159
<v Speaker 2>nominee with Ron DeSantis, the governor of Florida. Source familiar

166
00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:35.919
<v Speaker 2>with the conversation talked to NBC News. Wall Street Journal

167
00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:39.159
<v Speaker 2>was the first that reported that DeSantis was under consideration,

168
00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:43.080
<v Speaker 2>and they said that a couple of others, including Senators

169
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:47.600
<v Speaker 2>Jony Ernst out of Iowa and Bill Haggerty, Republican out

170
00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:54.559
<v Speaker 2>of Tennessee, could be named as replacements as well. They

171
00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:57.799
<v Speaker 2>said originally that Mike Wallas, who was a congressman out

172
00:08:57.799 --> 00:09:01.120
<v Speaker 2>of Florida, could be a possible pick, although he has

173
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:05.600
<v Speaker 2>already been chosen to become the next National Security Advisor. Now,

174
00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:09.759
<v Speaker 2>in terms of how serious this is, it's hard to tell,

175
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:13.399
<v Speaker 2>because apparently, according to the Wall Street Journal, these were

176
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:16.919
<v Speaker 2>simply conversations that Trump was having with guests at mar

177
00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:20.440
<v Speaker 2>A Lago, like, Hey, if Pete can't do it, what

178
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:22.480
<v Speaker 2>do you think about Ron?

179
00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:27.279
<v Speaker 1>I just there's something more here because they don't have

180
00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:31.799
<v Speaker 1>a cozy relationship. And Ron de Santis has said that

181
00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:35.519
<v Speaker 1>he's going to be holding interviews extensive vetting, which means

182
00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:38.559
<v Speaker 1>Ronda Santis right now is in the big chair and

183
00:09:38.679 --> 00:09:41.159
<v Speaker 1>is waiting for people to come kiss the ring and

184
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:44.799
<v Speaker 1>pat his pockets and do all the things to get

185
00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:48.639
<v Speaker 1>Marco Rubio's seat. So if you give if you give

186
00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:52.960
<v Speaker 1>Ronda Santis this job, you're kind of taking away his

187
00:09:53.159 --> 00:09:54.639
<v Speaker 1>power in Florida.

188
00:09:55.919 --> 00:09:58.320
<v Speaker 5>To be a senator picker, a nighter.

189
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:02.720
<v Speaker 1>Right now. He's Donald Trump on the Apprentice, right Like,

190
00:10:02.759 --> 00:10:05.120
<v Speaker 1>he gets to sit in the chair and have everyone

191
00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:07.000
<v Speaker 1>come in and tell me how much she loved me,

192
00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:10.159
<v Speaker 1>kind of thing. And if ron DeSantis doesn't have that

193
00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:13.039
<v Speaker 1>power of naming the Knights senator, then he kind of

194
00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:15.080
<v Speaker 1>doesn't have the same power that he was wielding.

195
00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:17.039
<v Speaker 2>No, but it would put him on the fat It

196
00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:19.120
<v Speaker 2>would jump him up a couple of spots to be

197
00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:22.399
<v Speaker 2>the Republican nominee in twenty eight if he was the

198
00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:27.240
<v Speaker 2>secretary of Defense. I mean, in terms of if he's

199
00:10:27.279 --> 00:10:29.720
<v Speaker 2>trying to think for himself why he would do it,

200
00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:31.720
<v Speaker 2>that would be one reason for him to do it.

201
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:35.919
<v Speaker 1>I don't know who has more power in that situation,

202
00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:39.879
<v Speaker 1>a kingmaker or Secretary of Defense, which can be buried

203
00:10:40.200 --> 00:10:41.559
<v Speaker 1>depending on the administration.

204
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:44.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Trump does say he's going to replace the top

205
00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:48.159
<v Speaker 2>US diplomat that is in charge of hostage releases a

206
00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:53.440
<v Speaker 2>new US Special Presidential Envoy for hostage affairs, which means

207
00:10:53.440 --> 00:10:55.240
<v Speaker 2>he's probably going to fire the guy who did a

208
00:10:55.279 --> 00:10:57.879
<v Speaker 2>couple of recent prisoner swaps with Russia and who Trump

209
00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:01.200
<v Speaker 2>himself appointed to that position. But Trump wrote on truth

210
00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:04.440
<v Speaker 2>Social today that he's going to appoint Adam Boehler, former

211
00:11:04.639 --> 00:11:08.840
<v Speaker 2>CEO of the US International Development Finance Corporation, to this role.

212
00:11:08.879 --> 00:11:12.679
<v Speaker 2>Bohler said Buller, according to Trump, was a lead negotiator

213
00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:14.960
<v Speaker 2>on the team that broker the Abraham Accords, this deal

214
00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:17.440
<v Speaker 2>that saw a bunch of Arab countries normalized relations with

215
00:11:17.600 --> 00:11:20.399
<v Speaker 2>Israel back in the day. They said that this would

216
00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:23.639
<v Speaker 2>elevate an experienced negotiator to one of the most sensitive

217
00:11:23.720 --> 00:11:28.799
<v Speaker 2>roles within the US government. Also, this means that Roger Carstons,

218
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:33.480
<v Speaker 2>who had been praised for his work in securing hostage releases, would.

219
00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:34.919
<v Speaker 3>Probably be out of a job.

220
00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:40.240
<v Speaker 2>It also follows on the post that former President Trump,

221
00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:45.080
<v Speaker 2>President elect Trump made regarding a message to Hamas, which is,

222
00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:48.679
<v Speaker 2>if they don't release all of their hostages by inauguration day,

223
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:51.799
<v Speaker 2>there will be all hell to pay. In terms of

224
00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:55.240
<v Speaker 2>the House, Republicans have a narrow majority because Democrats were

225
00:11:55.240 --> 00:11:59.840
<v Speaker 2>able to flip the Great thirteenth District. Democrat Adam Gray

226
00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:04.519
<v Speaker 2>finally defeated Congressman John Dwarte, and when all the votes

227
00:12:04.519 --> 00:12:08.200
<v Speaker 2>were counted in yesterday, Dwarty did call and concede the

228
00:12:08.320 --> 00:12:09.039
<v Speaker 2>race last night.

229
00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:12.279
<v Speaker 1>People close to Trump said in recent days he could

230
00:12:12.519 --> 00:12:16.159
<v Speaker 1>or he should dramatically change who gets access to the president,

231
00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:21.840
<v Speaker 1>suggesting that podcasters, internet personalities, and media deemed more friendly

232
00:12:21.879 --> 00:12:26.279
<v Speaker 1>to him could replace outlets like major TV networks, The

233
00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:29.559
<v Speaker 1>New York Times and the Washington Post. In the White

234
00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:34.879
<v Speaker 1>House press briefing rooms front rows front rows though they'll

235
00:12:34.919 --> 00:12:39.519
<v Speaker 1>still be there, they'll just not have the front row seating.

236
00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:40.200
<v Speaker 3>Interesting.

237
00:12:40.519 --> 00:12:43.120
<v Speaker 2>I wonder if he would give a seat to the

238
00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:46.080
<v Speaker 2>Call Her Daddy podcast, the one that did the interview

239
00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:47.120
<v Speaker 2>with Kamala Harris.

240
00:12:47.679 --> 00:12:50.200
<v Speaker 3>I don't know her name. It's a kids thing.

241
00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:55.000
<v Speaker 5>Do you want your Jeopardy question? Why donkeys? For one

242
00:12:55.039 --> 00:12:55.919
<v Speaker 5>thousand dollars?

243
00:12:56.440 --> 00:12:59.720
<v Speaker 3>I wanted to name my dog donkeyth did you really? No?

244
00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:01.639
<v Speaker 3>But after I saw Shrek the other night, I thought

245
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:02.639
<v Speaker 3>that would have been a great name.

246
00:13:02.879 --> 00:13:05.279
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, why did you watch Shrek the other night?

247
00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:06.840
<v Speaker 3>Because he was on TV?

248
00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:09.679
<v Speaker 5>Okay, you're just flipping around and you saw it.

249
00:13:10.039 --> 00:13:15.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, it was the night before Thanksgiving, no night of Thanksgiving,

250
00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:15.799
<v Speaker 2>I think it was.

251
00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:16.759
<v Speaker 3>And my nephew.

252
00:13:17.279 --> 00:13:18.919
<v Speaker 2>I had to watch a show that my daughter and

253
00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:21.480
<v Speaker 2>my nephew and I and my wife and in laws

254
00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:21.879
<v Speaker 2>and everything.

255
00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:23.799
<v Speaker 5>And you didn't want to watch one of Deborah's sex shows.

256
00:13:23.840 --> 00:13:26.080
<v Speaker 3>And I haven't seen Shrek in a long time, and

257
00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:26.960
<v Speaker 3>it was really a great show.

258
00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:29.399
<v Speaker 5>It is great. I need a good sex show, Shannon.

259
00:13:29.639 --> 00:13:31.759
<v Speaker 3>Okay, keep it in your pants.

260
00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:33.840
<v Speaker 1>Well we'll get to that in what you watch on Wednesday.

261
00:13:34.720 --> 00:13:39.320
<v Speaker 1>Here's your answer. In a book by Marguerite, Henry Brady

262
00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:42.919
<v Speaker 1>is a burrow who roams the high cliffs of this

263
00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:45.240
<v Speaker 1>Arizona landmark.

264
00:13:45.399 --> 00:13:51.000
<v Speaker 3>The Grand Canyon. Yes was, but he was I guess

265
00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:53.399
<v Speaker 3>he was a donkey who did say it was a burrow? Burrow.

266
00:13:53.759 --> 00:13:57.639
<v Speaker 7>Justin Warson has joined us like eight different shows going

267
00:13:57.639 --> 00:13:58.919
<v Speaker 7>on in his dark secret.

268
00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:02.679
<v Speaker 2>Place, Parentsy with Justin. Here's a question for you before

269
00:14:02.679 --> 00:14:04.600
<v Speaker 2>we get stuff that you brought us. I'm throwing you

270
00:14:04.639 --> 00:14:07.639
<v Speaker 2>a curveball. Yeah ball humped at Gary and Shannon.

271
00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:11.759
<v Speaker 6>Hey, this is more for Justin for you guys's Wednesday talks.

272
00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:15.279
<v Speaker 6>But what's his thoughts or if he has any background

273
00:14:15.320 --> 00:14:20.200
<v Speaker 6>information on say, Sanna giving a kid a piece of

274
00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:23.000
<v Speaker 6>coal for Christmas. Now, not saying the kid's bad one

275
00:14:23.120 --> 00:14:26.360
<v Speaker 6>hundred percent of the time, but knowing, Hey, Sanna's watching

276
00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:29.960
<v Speaker 6>throughout the year and knowing, hey, you got a piece

277
00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:33.960
<v Speaker 6>of coal for you know something you know Sanna does

278
00:14:34.120 --> 00:14:36.799
<v Speaker 6>know throughout the year that hey, you know, you can't

279
00:14:36.919 --> 00:14:38.919
<v Speaker 6>just be good in a matter of six weeks when

280
00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:42.039
<v Speaker 6>you're elf on the shelf shows up. You've got to

281
00:14:42.080 --> 00:14:44.080
<v Speaker 6>be good for the remainder, you know, the whole part

282
00:14:44.159 --> 00:14:46.519
<v Speaker 6>of the year, you know, doing your chores. Not talking back,

283
00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:50.039
<v Speaker 6>but just want to see what Justin's perspective of interesting

284
00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:52.519
<v Speaker 6>a piece of showing up at Christmas rather than your

285
00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:55.480
<v Speaker 6>kid expecting, you know, getting gifts up the wazoo.

286
00:14:55.559 --> 00:15:00.519
<v Speaker 2>Now, my understanding of it is he's talking about like

287
00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:02.799
<v Speaker 2>a piece of cord, not the only thing.

288
00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:05.679
<v Speaker 7>Yeah yeah, yeah, like maybe you as you as mom

289
00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:07.960
<v Speaker 7>and dad, like Santa may drop a lump a hole,

290
00:15:08.039 --> 00:15:09.840
<v Speaker 7>but mom and Dad could pepper in a few things.

291
00:15:10.039 --> 00:15:12.159
<v Speaker 5>Kind of what's a little darkness on Christmas morning?

292
00:15:12.240 --> 00:15:14.279
<v Speaker 3>Though, well, I did see something when I heard this

293
00:15:14.440 --> 00:15:14.840
<v Speaker 3>this morning.

294
00:15:14.919 --> 00:15:18.080
<v Speaker 2>It reminded me of a friend showed a picture of

295
00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:21.960
<v Speaker 2>an ornament when there's regular glass balls, the ball blown

296
00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:23.600
<v Speaker 2>balls ornament, you know what.

297
00:15:23.559 --> 00:15:28.440
<v Speaker 3>I'm talking about. But clip Ship and Jacob.

298
00:15:30.039 --> 00:15:32.799
<v Speaker 2>It had a fake camera lens on it and they

299
00:15:32.879 --> 00:15:37.000
<v Speaker 2>wrote Santa Cam ornament so that the kids would always

300
00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:39.320
<v Speaker 2>feel like Santa's watching or could see what they were

301
00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:40.080
<v Speaker 2>doing or whatever.

302
00:15:40.440 --> 00:15:43.600
<v Speaker 5>Isn't just a reminder throughout the year Santa's watching.

303
00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:45.360
<v Speaker 3>It doesn't fly, and it doesn't.

304
00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:47.919
<v Speaker 7>But well here's the Really, I think what anybody who

305
00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:52.320
<v Speaker 7>is asking about this is really saying like there needs

306
00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:55.399
<v Speaker 7>to there needs to be a delivery on the because

307
00:15:55.480 --> 00:15:58.200
<v Speaker 7>what all of us throughout our childhood, right, we all

308
00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:00.440
<v Speaker 7>know that he has a list, He's checked it at

309
00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:04.080
<v Speaker 7>least twice, right, and so you don't but nobody ever

310
00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:06.879
<v Speaker 7>comes back to school and go, hey, what did you get?

311
00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:10.080
<v Speaker 7>And you're like, Diddley, evidently I'm not a good person.

312
00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:14.600
<v Speaker 7>You don't hear that story. But I would argue as like,

313
00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:17.879
<v Speaker 7>so I'll give I'll give two answers to that. Number One,

314
00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:20.200
<v Speaker 7>I would say that the experts that I've talked to

315
00:16:20.440 --> 00:16:24.279
<v Speaker 7>over the years of doing the Dad podcast would probably

316
00:16:24.879 --> 00:16:28.720
<v Speaker 7>suggest that you do some suggesting or write a letter

317
00:16:28.759 --> 00:16:32.039
<v Speaker 7>to Santa yourself to kind of maybe discourage that kind

318
00:16:32.120 --> 00:16:35.639
<v Speaker 7>of a thing. But me personally as a father, like,

319
00:16:36.039 --> 00:16:38.039
<v Speaker 7>I think it also depends on the age of your kid.

320
00:16:38.120 --> 00:16:40.240
<v Speaker 7>I think the older they are sure have at it.

321
00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:42.559
<v Speaker 7>The younger they are. If you think you need it

322
00:16:42.679 --> 00:16:46.000
<v Speaker 7>to deliver a message, that message will be delivered strong.

323
00:16:46.240 --> 00:16:47.000
<v Speaker 3>It's just gonna say.

324
00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:50.600
<v Speaker 2>That's like they open up a package and it's someone's

325
00:16:50.759 --> 00:16:51.639
<v Speaker 2>a severed finger.

326
00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:54.000
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, and they're like, you could be next. I feel

327
00:16:54.039 --> 00:16:56.360
<v Speaker 7>like this is a moral and ethical hot wire, you

328
00:16:56.440 --> 00:16:58.679
<v Speaker 7>know what I mean. Like they get shocked, like that's

329
00:16:58.720 --> 00:17:01.120
<v Speaker 7>a hot stove and you touched it, and that there's

330
00:17:01.200 --> 00:17:03.200
<v Speaker 7>a there's a there's a great viral video. I don't

331
00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:04.400
<v Speaker 7>know if you guys seen it. This kid, who I

332
00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:06.799
<v Speaker 7>think is like somewhere in Britain and his dad's telling

333
00:17:06.880 --> 00:17:09.079
<v Speaker 7>him like you I've talked to Santa, You're not You're

334
00:17:09.119 --> 00:17:11.519
<v Speaker 7>on the naughty list, and he's no, He's like no,

335
00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:13.799
<v Speaker 7>and it looks very adorable until the kid goes if

336
00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:15.599
<v Speaker 7>he if he if I'm on the naughty list, I'm

337
00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:19.200
<v Speaker 7>gonna uppercut Santa. And I'm like, there it is dad's

338
00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:22.680
<v Speaker 7>talking about, like he minds punching Santa claus In.

339
00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:25.079
<v Speaker 3>He goes, I'm gonna knock his beard right off, is

340
00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:29.839
<v Speaker 3>what his kid says. So maybe that kid should get

341
00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:32.400
<v Speaker 3>a lump of coal. I hope. I genuinely answer that,

342
00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:35.640
<v Speaker 3>like I think you Yeah, that's what I mean.

343
00:17:35.720 --> 00:17:39.319
<v Speaker 7>I wouldn't feel comfortable endorsing it as like a blanket

344
00:17:39.359 --> 00:17:42.200
<v Speaker 7>statement for parents to suggest Santa give a lump of coal.

345
00:17:42.279 --> 00:17:44.599
<v Speaker 3>But if you think you need to send a message,

346
00:17:44.839 --> 00:17:45.359
<v Speaker 3>I'm all for it.

347
00:17:45.559 --> 00:17:47.480
<v Speaker 5>Just a kid have a good sense of humor, and

348
00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:50.200
<v Speaker 5>I'll don't even care if you have a.

349
00:17:50.240 --> 00:17:50.839
<v Speaker 3>Sense of humor.

350
00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:54.240
<v Speaker 7>You genuinely think that that is something that your kid

351
00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:57.680
<v Speaker 7>needs and it just has to has to feel or

352
00:17:57.799 --> 00:18:03.000
<v Speaker 7>taste or whatever, then I say go for it, and

353
00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:04.000
<v Speaker 7>I listen, I.

354
00:18:04.480 --> 00:18:07.559
<v Speaker 5>Don't you also are in hitting your kids?

355
00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:10.839
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, heavily. That's how I show affectionately. Did I not

356
00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:13.359
<v Speaker 3>make that clear when I started this whole thing multiple

357
00:18:13.480 --> 00:18:16.160
<v Speaker 3>years ago? Most of the time, not today. They've actually

358
00:18:16.200 --> 00:18:19.440
<v Speaker 3>been listening this week. But the point is the holidays

359
00:18:19.480 --> 00:18:22.480
<v Speaker 3>are coming, I get in touch with your family. It's

360
00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:23.680
<v Speaker 3>about staying connected.

361
00:18:24.039 --> 00:18:27.039
<v Speaker 2>It is an interesting look at a potential warning shot

362
00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:29.759
<v Speaker 2>that you're firing. But again I think he's saying, you know,

363
00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:32.359
<v Speaker 2>could I give one of the packages, could be a

364
00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:35.519
<v Speaker 2>lump of holes, this with a little note that says.

365
00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:37.519
<v Speaker 5>And in March you done aft up.

366
00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:40.359
<v Speaker 7>I will say this, and I hope I don't get

367
00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:41.920
<v Speaker 7>choked up because then you guys will laugh at me.

368
00:18:42.480 --> 00:18:43.799
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if it helps this pair.

369
00:18:43.960 --> 00:18:47.440
<v Speaker 7>But the greatest to this day, the greatest Christmas gift

370
00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:51.680
<v Speaker 7>I received was when I was about six years old,

371
00:18:52.200 --> 00:18:55.960
<v Speaker 7>maybe seven, and I had started to maybe not believe

372
00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:58.799
<v Speaker 7>in Santa, and so my parents had just gotten separated.

373
00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:01.920
<v Speaker 7>And so in my letter, I said, hey, a lot

374
00:19:01.960 --> 00:19:04.000
<v Speaker 7>of kids at school are saying that you're not real.

375
00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:06.920
<v Speaker 7>So I don't need really a ton of presents, but

376
00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:09.279
<v Speaker 7>if you could just give me a piece of your

377
00:19:09.400 --> 00:19:11.319
<v Speaker 7>sleigh bells so I would know we had to have

378
00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:13.720
<v Speaker 7>like just read the Polar Express at school or something.

379
00:19:13.759 --> 00:19:15.559
<v Speaker 7>And that's where I got the idea. I just remember

380
00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:20.720
<v Speaker 7>writing that in my letter, and I gotten a few gifts.

381
00:19:20.119 --> 00:19:20.599
<v Speaker 3>Not a lot.

382
00:19:21.559 --> 00:19:23.839
<v Speaker 7>It was that first divorce Christmas where my mom made

383
00:19:23.880 --> 00:19:26.160
<v Speaker 7>it rain because she got a lot of money and

384
00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:30.279
<v Speaker 7>had not so but my gifts from Santa at my

385
00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:33.400
<v Speaker 7>dad's house. And I distinctly to this day remember picking

386
00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:36.400
<v Speaker 7>up that little tiny box and having it ring like

387
00:19:36.519 --> 00:19:37.160
<v Speaker 7>it jingled.

388
00:19:37.519 --> 00:19:39.480
<v Speaker 3>And I still have that to this day in my

389
00:19:39.759 --> 00:19:44.279
<v Speaker 3>in my drawer. Yeah it was. It had probably the

390
00:19:44.319 --> 00:19:45.480
<v Speaker 3>biggest impact on me.

391
00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:48.200
<v Speaker 1>The fact that Santa got your letter, read it and

392
00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:52.119
<v Speaker 1>remembered to deliver that. Dude's incredible all I.

393
00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:52.720
<v Speaker 3>Like I had.

394
00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:55.119
<v Speaker 7>I remember at least eight toys around me and I

395
00:19:55.240 --> 00:19:58.240
<v Speaker 7>just sat there holding that thing like this is insane,

396
00:19:59.079 --> 00:19:59.960
<v Speaker 7>like and it was.

397
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:01.960
<v Speaker 3>It's just a simple piece of leather with the bells

398
00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:02.200
<v Speaker 3>on it.

399
00:20:02.359 --> 00:20:04.400
<v Speaker 2>Like, did you squirrel it away so that nobody could

400
00:20:04.440 --> 00:20:05.839
<v Speaker 2>see it or touch it or look at it or

401
00:20:05.960 --> 00:20:06.200
<v Speaker 2>take you.

402
00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:08.559
<v Speaker 5>Wanted to keep Santa's Magic tears myself?

403
00:20:08.839 --> 00:20:11.359
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I will well. I always kept it in a drawer,

404
00:20:11.400 --> 00:20:13.839
<v Speaker 7>in a safe place. It was I'm not saying, I'm

405
00:20:13.880 --> 00:20:17.240
<v Speaker 7>not exaggerating. It was one of my most valued possessions

406
00:20:17.680 --> 00:20:20.279
<v Speaker 7>for most of my life. Like sure it's been knocked

407
00:20:20.279 --> 00:20:21.759
<v Speaker 7>down now that I have a wife and kids and

408
00:20:21.839 --> 00:20:24.799
<v Speaker 7>stuff like that. Possession, running a close third.

409
00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:30.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, trust it's definitely nicer to me than they are. Sorry,

410
00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:32.200
<v Speaker 3>this is so rude to people.

411
00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:34.599
<v Speaker 7>Listen, but he told me after him and his girlfriend

412
00:20:34.640 --> 00:20:37.880
<v Speaker 7>broke up that being single in this new choir was different,

413
00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:40.039
<v Speaker 7>with a smirk on his face like he was definitely

414
00:20:40.519 --> 00:20:42.720
<v Speaker 7>see he appreciated being on the maps.

415
00:20:46.279 --> 00:20:47.279
<v Speaker 3>But this is a part of it.

416
00:20:47.640 --> 00:20:49.839
<v Speaker 7>I'm not saying it's to marry this girl, but just

417
00:20:50.200 --> 00:20:52.079
<v Speaker 7>go have a meal or a cup of coffee with her.

418
00:20:52.359 --> 00:20:54.200
<v Speaker 5>It's a forty five minute drive.

419
00:20:54.359 --> 00:20:57.559
<v Speaker 7>It's a twenty to thirty minute drive drive if you

420
00:20:57.680 --> 00:20:59.839
<v Speaker 7>hit all right, we're opening up the phone lines. Would

421
00:20:59.880 --> 00:21:03.400
<v Speaker 7>you your kid go on a date with a girl

422
00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:05.599
<v Speaker 7>who came up to him and said that she thought

423
00:21:05.640 --> 00:21:06.279
<v Speaker 7>he was cute.

424
00:21:06.799 --> 00:21:10.720
<v Speaker 5>But we're talking, we're killing so bad Valencia. Yes, that's

425
00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:13.519
<v Speaker 5>it's kids. Someone to drop put that time.

426
00:21:13.880 --> 00:21:15.839
<v Speaker 7>Here's the other creepy thing that came out of this

427
00:21:15.920 --> 00:21:18.839
<v Speaker 7>count What happened was this girl flirted with my son,

428
00:21:19.440 --> 00:21:21.759
<v Speaker 7>said she was interested. They exchanged numbers, and he's kind

429
00:21:21.799 --> 00:21:23.559
<v Speaker 7>of shy about going on on date with her. I'm like,

430
00:21:23.559 --> 00:21:25.640
<v Speaker 7>you should at least go on a date. I go,

431
00:21:25.759 --> 00:21:27.200
<v Speaker 7>when you were talking to her? Was she fun to

432
00:21:27.240 --> 00:21:28.640
<v Speaker 7>talk to? And he was like, oh, yeah, it was.

433
00:21:28.759 --> 00:21:29.279
<v Speaker 3>It was fun.

434
00:21:29.680 --> 00:21:31.279
<v Speaker 7>And I go, do you not like find her attract

435
00:21:31.359 --> 00:21:33.039
<v Speaker 7>He's like, no, no, she's super cute. I'm like, well,

436
00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:34.559
<v Speaker 7>then what's the what's the hang up?

437
00:21:34.640 --> 00:21:36.880
<v Speaker 1>And my thing is, I'm sure he has interests locally

438
00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:38.759
<v Speaker 1>that he doesn't have to drive to Valencia for.

439
00:21:39.240 --> 00:21:40.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but we've talked.

440
00:21:40.279 --> 00:21:42.279
<v Speaker 7>There's nothing. I've asked him that too, Blake. I'm like,

441
00:21:42.359 --> 00:21:44.400
<v Speaker 7>is there somebody else that you're more interested? He's like, no, no,

442
00:21:44.519 --> 00:21:45.839
<v Speaker 7>I'm fine just a moment.

443
00:21:46.079 --> 00:21:48.519
<v Speaker 5>He's keeping his options open again.

444
00:21:48.680 --> 00:21:51.160
<v Speaker 7>He doesn't have to marry her, just go on a date,

445
00:21:51.400 --> 00:21:53.519
<v Speaker 7>have a maybe you don't. Maybe you find out after

446
00:21:53.599 --> 00:21:55.079
<v Speaker 7>a meal or a cup of coffee you're like, oh,

447
00:21:55.200 --> 00:21:55.799
<v Speaker 7>never mind.

448
00:21:56.079 --> 00:21:57.960
<v Speaker 1>You know what would be a good lesson is if

449
00:21:58.039 --> 00:21:59.799
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't and then it is like, you know what,

450
00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:01.759
<v Speaker 1>that girl was really cool and he reaches out and

451
00:22:01.839 --> 00:22:03.599
<v Speaker 1>texts her and she's like, I'm seeing someone.

452
00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:04.920
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it would be a good lesson.

453
00:22:05.000 --> 00:22:06.920
<v Speaker 3>I don't want him to learn that lesson though, Shannon,

454
00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:07.799
<v Speaker 3>I want him lesson.

455
00:22:08.279 --> 00:22:10.240
<v Speaker 7>But here's the part that bothered me and I don't

456
00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:11.880
<v Speaker 7>know if this is I'm just I have two sons,

457
00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:14.480
<v Speaker 7>so I don't know. Everybody that I've told this story to,

458
00:22:14.720 --> 00:22:17.839
<v Speaker 7>they've always well, she cute, which is I don't know why,

459
00:22:17.920 --> 00:22:18.640
<v Speaker 7>but that bothers me.

460
00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:19.559
<v Speaker 5>That bothers me.

461
00:22:19.839 --> 00:22:20.000
<v Speaker 2>I have.

462
00:22:20.680 --> 00:22:21.559
<v Speaker 3>I mean this sincerely.

463
00:22:21.599 --> 00:22:23.799
<v Speaker 7>I have zero opinion on whether or not this probably

464
00:22:23.880 --> 00:22:27.799
<v Speaker 7>sixteen year old girl is cut, right, I have, I've

465
00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:30.440
<v Speaker 7>seen a picture of her. That What matters to me

466
00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:32.359
<v Speaker 7>is if he thinks that she's cute. Like, if you

467
00:22:32.440 --> 00:22:34.519
<v Speaker 7>think she's cute, why why would you not do this?

468
00:22:35.200 --> 00:22:37.079
<v Speaker 7>I spend way too much time thinking about this. Clearly

469
00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:41.400
<v Speaker 7>that's a year old dude, Like, what if this is

470
00:22:41.440 --> 00:22:43.079
<v Speaker 7>the love of your life? I met your mother in

471
00:22:43.160 --> 00:22:43.640
<v Speaker 7>high school?

472
00:22:43.720 --> 00:22:45.799
<v Speaker 2>Oh boy, always looking for you. He wants to hear that,

473
00:22:46.079 --> 00:22:48.160
<v Speaker 2>he wants to hear how you guys fell in love.

474
00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:51.599
<v Speaker 7>No, he doesn't like it when we sit down on

475
00:22:51.640 --> 00:22:54.720
<v Speaker 7>our anniversary and retail the tale and what make him?

476
00:22:54.720 --> 00:22:54.880
<v Speaker 3>Watch?

477
00:22:56.720 --> 00:23:01.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, Gary, he's gonna And then one time

478
00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:03.880
<v Speaker 2>the kisses well they just got.

479
00:23:05.519 --> 00:23:07.640
<v Speaker 3>And that's when you came Jacob, now.

480
00:23:09.599 --> 00:23:15.839
<v Speaker 2>Mommy and referred to as tickle time. Tickle time, Oh god,

481
00:23:16.720 --> 00:23:19.319
<v Speaker 2>how do you? How do you avoid overspending at Christmas

482
00:23:19.400 --> 00:23:19.799
<v Speaker 2>with kids.

483
00:23:19.920 --> 00:23:24.400
<v Speaker 7>This comes up every year. It's my way of dealing

484
00:23:24.440 --> 00:23:26.279
<v Speaker 7>with it has always been that we've had a budget.

485
00:23:26.400 --> 00:23:28.359
<v Speaker 7>The reason why this struck home to me is that

486
00:23:28.519 --> 00:23:31.599
<v Speaker 7>this year the usual budget for Christmas for our gifts

487
00:23:31.640 --> 00:23:34.519
<v Speaker 7>that we give to the kids has almost doubled because

488
00:23:34.559 --> 00:23:37.079
<v Speaker 7>they're thirteen and sixteen. Like the things that they want

489
00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:40.640
<v Speaker 7>have transitioned from toys to like furniture and electron My

490
00:23:40.680 --> 00:23:43.000
<v Speaker 7>kids aren't even asking for phones, but it's still costing

491
00:23:43.039 --> 00:23:44.559
<v Speaker 7>me close to one thousand dollars a.

492
00:23:44.640 --> 00:23:45.400
<v Speaker 3>Nice French door.

493
00:23:47.039 --> 00:23:47.319
<v Speaker 1>You get.

494
00:23:47.400 --> 00:23:49.119
<v Speaker 7>One of my kids wants a dorm fridge in his

495
00:23:49.279 --> 00:23:51.200
<v Speaker 7>room and I'm like, no, you we have a we

496
00:23:51.279 --> 00:23:52.000
<v Speaker 7>have tool fridge.

497
00:23:52.079 --> 00:23:54.279
<v Speaker 3>Go to a dorm if you want a dorm fridge.

498
00:23:54.400 --> 00:23:55.960
<v Speaker 3>I told him, I said, get an apartment, you can

499
00:23:56.039 --> 00:23:56.799
<v Speaker 3>have your own fridge.

500
00:23:57.240 --> 00:24:01.440
<v Speaker 5>Must be Jack, yep, I adore how well you know

501
00:24:01.559 --> 00:24:02.000
<v Speaker 5>my kids?

502
00:24:03.839 --> 00:24:07.960
<v Speaker 7>Jack, he's trying to annex himself inside my own home,

503
00:24:08.079 --> 00:24:11.440
<v Speaker 7>like he's trying to become a sovereign nation in that little.

504
00:24:11.279 --> 00:24:14.920
<v Speaker 1>Roof of quarterback Josh something ever went to U C.

505
00:24:15.119 --> 00:24:17.160
<v Speaker 1>L A And put like a hot tub in his room.

506
00:24:19.160 --> 00:24:22.079
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I would be jackular man.

507
00:24:22.240 --> 00:24:24.039
<v Speaker 7>He's trying to get a new desk, and he's selling

508
00:24:24.119 --> 00:24:25.880
<v Speaker 7>me on the idea of this new desk because it's

509
00:24:25.920 --> 00:24:28.119
<v Speaker 7>a standing desk, so it'll go up and down. And

510
00:24:28.240 --> 00:24:29.759
<v Speaker 7>he's got a he wants to get a monitor that's

511
00:24:29.799 --> 00:24:31.519
<v Speaker 7>better for gaming, but he said I could also use

512
00:24:31.559 --> 00:24:34.119
<v Speaker 7>it for my homework. And I had to stop selling me.

513
00:24:34.599 --> 00:24:36.440
<v Speaker 7>I don't need to be sold and I don't like it.

514
00:24:36.559 --> 00:24:39.599
<v Speaker 7>I just I just want to have a conversation with

515
00:24:39.720 --> 00:24:44.960
<v Speaker 7>my son. But were kissing is a special kid?

516
00:24:45.119 --> 00:24:47.480
<v Speaker 5>Stop interrupting and then I put my hand.

517
00:24:47.680 --> 00:24:51.960
<v Speaker 7>You're being selfish, which is also what your mother said

518
00:24:52.000 --> 00:24:58.400
<v Speaker 7>on our way anyway, Oh, and we had a good run.

519
00:24:58.720 --> 00:25:01.119
<v Speaker 3>We did it. It took the holidays that we broke her.

520
00:25:01.200 --> 00:25:03.440
<v Speaker 3>Why is that growth? Oh, dare you love?

521
00:25:04.160 --> 00:25:05.960
<v Speaker 7>But one of the things that my niece pitched that

522
00:25:06.079 --> 00:25:08.400
<v Speaker 7>we're doing, and it was mentioned in this article, is

523
00:25:08.480 --> 00:25:11.319
<v Speaker 7>doing like kind of a gift exchange where everybody only

524
00:25:11.440 --> 00:25:15.680
<v Speaker 7>buys a gift and brings it to the to the gathering.

525
00:25:16.119 --> 00:25:18.160
<v Speaker 3>It's hard when you have kids. I think I don't.

526
00:25:18.279 --> 00:25:20.559
<v Speaker 7>I I've always had and I know I've told this

527
00:25:20.640 --> 00:25:23.559
<v Speaker 7>story before on the show, but there's this family. There's

528
00:25:23.599 --> 00:25:25.559
<v Speaker 7>a comic that I used to open for when I

529
00:25:25.680 --> 00:25:27.799
<v Speaker 7>was a stand up and I got invited to his

530
00:25:28.000 --> 00:25:30.640
<v Speaker 7>sister's house. We were in on the road around the holidays,

531
00:25:31.240 --> 00:25:34.359
<v Speaker 7>and she her in laws do a Christmas but they

532
00:25:34.400 --> 00:25:37.319
<v Speaker 7>have never done lavish gifts. Like their idea of gifts.

533
00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:39.480
<v Speaker 7>They don't do a gift exchange. They buy, but what

534
00:25:39.559 --> 00:25:41.359
<v Speaker 7>they buy is literally things that you could find at

535
00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:44.119
<v Speaker 7>a grocery store. So they buy you your favorite chips,

536
00:25:44.240 --> 00:25:46.839
<v Speaker 7>they buy you your favorite gum, or they buy you

537
00:25:46.960 --> 00:25:48.880
<v Speaker 7>something like you got a house. Like one time, this guy,

538
00:25:49.039 --> 00:25:51.119
<v Speaker 7>one of the family members was over the moon because

539
00:25:51.200 --> 00:25:54.480
<v Speaker 7>he got a slow closing toilet lid for Christmas from

540
00:25:54.599 --> 00:25:56.559
<v Speaker 7>like a niece. Those are nice, and I just I

541
00:25:56.680 --> 00:25:59.039
<v Speaker 7>love the simplicity of it because I feel like the

542
00:25:59.119 --> 00:26:00.920
<v Speaker 7>sap in me likes the idea that now it's more

543
00:26:00.920 --> 00:26:03.720
<v Speaker 7>about hanging out and being together and just opening gifts

544
00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:05.880
<v Speaker 7>that it doesn't matter how much they cost or anything.

545
00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:08.400
<v Speaker 3>And they're very thoughtful, right the pile of goods that

546
00:26:08.519 --> 00:26:10.680
<v Speaker 3>you received exactly, it's not about.

547
00:26:10.440 --> 00:26:13.279
<v Speaker 7>The hall, it's about you know, And this is what

548
00:26:13.440 --> 00:26:14.799
<v Speaker 7>kind of sad me. And I'm glad we're doing it

549
00:26:14.799 --> 00:26:16.440
<v Speaker 7>because I told my family. I said, oh, by the way,

550
00:26:16.519 --> 00:26:18.519
<v Speaker 7>we're doing like a gift exchange, so everybody's going to

551
00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:21.799
<v Speaker 7>buy a gift that's fifty dollars or less. My older son,

552
00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:23.759
<v Speaker 7>not the younger one. The older one was like, well,

553
00:26:23.799 --> 00:26:25.880
<v Speaker 7>that's garbage. I want some gifts.

554
00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:28.599
<v Speaker 3>And I was like, I failed you. I failed you

555
00:26:28.759 --> 00:26:30.119
<v Speaker 3>so much. You're sixteen.

556
00:26:31.680 --> 00:26:32.839
<v Speaker 7>I said, well, it's not like you're not going to

557
00:26:32.880 --> 00:26:35.599
<v Speaker 7>get anything from us, but in regards to the family, like,

558
00:26:35.680 --> 00:26:37.599
<v Speaker 7>we're all going to just get together and hang out.

559
00:26:37.640 --> 00:26:40.680
<v Speaker 7>They also did some research and found that thrift store

560
00:26:40.720 --> 00:26:43.079
<v Speaker 7>shopping is really popular amongst kids. So if that's a

561
00:26:43.160 --> 00:26:45.400
<v Speaker 7>way that you can save some money that Evidently kids

562
00:26:45.400 --> 00:26:47.480
<v Speaker 7>don't mind getting things secondhand as long as.

563
00:26:47.359 --> 00:26:50.519
<v Speaker 2>They're our kids. We just had this conversation the other night.

564
00:26:50.839 --> 00:26:53.960
<v Speaker 2>We used to get our kids their presence from garage sales. Yeah,

565
00:26:54.599 --> 00:26:55.599
<v Speaker 2>and then they never cared.

566
00:26:55.960 --> 00:26:56.440
<v Speaker 3>They didn't care.

567
00:26:56.559 --> 00:26:58.720
<v Speaker 2>So's some of the best gifts that they had were

568
00:26:58.759 --> 00:27:04.720
<v Speaker 2>from garage sales. Yeah, it's just colder, that's all old grin.

569
00:27:06.240 --> 00:27:10.079
<v Speaker 2>How early before Christmas would you be getting these gifts July? Oh, well,
