Speaker 1: This is Gary and Shannon, and you're listening to KFI
Speaker 1: AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2: Dodgers have the best record in Major League Baseball right now.
Speaker 2: They won their two games, so I guess it's a
Speaker 2: short series sweep against the Cubs.
Speaker 3: In the Tokyo Series.
Speaker 2: The Dodgers come home to LA and don't play again
Speaker 2: until they do a couple of tune ups against the Angels.
Speaker 3: They'll I think Sunday.
Speaker 2: Sunday they'll play a Dodger Stadium against the Angels in
Speaker 2: the Freeway Series. Still spring training, but the rest of
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball Opening Day is going to be Thursday.
Speaker 1: Confuse, So we're playing games that count in Japan, coming
Speaker 1: back to play games that don't count.
Speaker 2: Why listen if you're going to play a game that
Speaker 2: far away.
Speaker 3: I understand they want to do it earlier.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure I have a problem with the idea
Speaker 2: of playing games in other countries. It's just the travel
Speaker 2: is a mess.
Speaker 1: I have a couple of questions to follow up on
Speaker 1: the initial questions, yes, and your subsequent reasoning I get
Speaker 1: playing games in Japan. I don't know if I like
Speaker 1: opening day being in a foreign country for American baseball.
Speaker 3: I love, I love the globe.
Speaker 1: I love international travel, I love spreading, I love how.
Speaker 3: Big it is. A big globe. It's great, big globe.
Speaker 1: But like and I love spreading the game, and I
Speaker 1: love I love the idea of Shohetani and Yamamoto and
Speaker 1: in Japan and the whole thing.
Speaker 3: I love all of it.
Speaker 1: But then to come back, But then to come back
Speaker 1: and play games that don't count, I don't really understand.
Speaker 1: If you want to start the season there and play
Speaker 1: the game's account and then come back and continue playing
Speaker 1: games account, then that's great.
Speaker 4: Are they playing games that.
Speaker 1: Don't count to give them kind of a week to
Speaker 1: kind of recalibrate their bodies. These are people in the
Speaker 1: best condition of their lives. They're fine. Japan's on a heart.
Speaker 1: There's no jet lag when you come back.
Speaker 2: There's also that's the reason they couldn't do it during
Speaker 2: the season is that the amount of travel it would take.
Speaker 2: You'd have to play West Coast teams to go to Japan,
Speaker 2: so which that's fine, but then you take them out
Speaker 2: for a couple of days beforehand and a couple of
Speaker 2: days after that.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Guys, sack up, you know, pitch the whole game, come
Speaker 1: back and you jump into the game's account.
Speaker 3: You're like a seventy five year old man.
Speaker 2: All I am a designated hitter, right, bunch of queers?
Speaker 1: Yeah no, no, no, no, yeah you said it, you
Speaker 1: said squeers.
Speaker 4: I did not mean that anymore.
Speaker 3: But if you're seventy five, I don't know. I think
Speaker 3: we're suspended. Now again, it's time for swamp watch. I'm
Speaker 3: a politician, which means I'm a cheat. When I'm not
Speaker 3: kissing babies, I'm stealing their lollipop.
Speaker 5: Here we go, the other side, never quit, so.
Speaker 3: I'm not going anywhere. So that now you drain the swamp,
Speaker 3: I can imagine what can be and be unburdened by
Speaker 3: what has been. You know, Americans have always been gun stupid.
Speaker 6: A political plunder is when a politician actually tells the truth.
Speaker 3: Why have the people voted for you?
Speaker 7: With not watch just a.
Speaker 2: Quick political thing. We were talking about Tim Walls being
Speaker 2: too masculine for Republicans.
Speaker 5: Everyone to say, Gary and Shannon, I was just hearing
Speaker 5: the news that it's been no not that one.
Speaker 3: I wanted to play this one, Gary Shannon. No, not
Speaker 3: that one. I'll get to it later.
Speaker 2: Somebody said that, what what they say?
Speaker 3: Where did it go?
Speaker 4: You comparaphrase?
Speaker 3: Oh? Here it is? Sorry, but I think.
Speaker 8: Tim Walls is more masculine than Gary. I mean Tim
Speaker 8: Walls he ran for vice president, was a football player
Speaker 8: or football coach. And Gary he's a wanta be t
Speaker 8: ball baseball player in Chico State graduate.
Speaker 3: I mean, come on, good one.
Speaker 2: I don't know why I waited so long for that.
Speaker 2: I apologize for dragging everybody through that.
Speaker 4: What do you think he's mad about.
Speaker 3: I don't know. Someone's dad did not love him.
Speaker 4: That's unfortunate.
Speaker 2: President Zelenski spoke with President Trump, and according to Trump,
Speaker 2: it was a very good phone called best phone call,
Speaker 2: during which they discussed the preliminary agreement that President Putin
Speaker 2: talked with Trump about just yesterday. Trump wrote on truth
Speaker 2: Social much of the discussion was based on the call
Speaker 2: made yesterday with Putin in order to align both Russia
Speaker 2: and Ukraine in terms of their requests and needs.
Speaker 3: One of the things it was agreed to.
Speaker 2: In the we think was agreed to in the Trump
Speaker 2: Putin phone call was that there would be no attacks
Speaker 2: on the power grid, among other things. And then about
Speaker 2: ninety minutes after the phone call, Russia conducted an air
Speaker 2: strike on the energy infrastructure of a city of about
Speaker 2: one hundred thousand people in the next re Dunetsk region
Speaker 2: of Ukraine.
Speaker 1: So it's kind of some watchers are calling it an
Speaker 1: fu like Russia says, Okay, yeah.
Speaker 4: Wink wink, nod. Not all right, Well, do what they want.
Speaker 3: They're gonna do what they want.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's the same thing that you get in
Speaker 1: a phone call with Kim Jong un or or even
Speaker 1: even Benjamin Nett Yahoo that people are gonna these leaders
Speaker 1: when they reach a certain level of power and ego
Speaker 1: and want in terms of territory, they are gonna do
Speaker 1: whatever the hell they want to do. Ceasefires be damned,
Speaker 1: and there's no there's no recourse for them. I mean,
Speaker 1: there are people who say Trump does the same exact thing.
Speaker 1: They'll say one thing, but he's a yes but or
Speaker 1: to whatever you're saying on the phone.
Speaker 3: But he's gonna do what he wants. It's the same guy.
Speaker 2: The difference being that there are checks and balance is
Speaker 2: in our form of government that don't exist in other places.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but Trump doesn't like those, and he's something his
Speaker 1: nose at that, and look no further than all the
Speaker 1: executive orders, he's over the whole checks and says he
Speaker 1: wants to be putin, to make no mistake about it.
Speaker 1: That's why he laughs when he's like, well you got
Speaker 1: rid of them, you know, it's like he I wish
Speaker 1: I could do that, you know exactly. It's like, yeah, oh,
Speaker 1: it's awful what Putin does, how he poisons his enemies,
Speaker 1: and you can't say anything against him there politically or
Speaker 1: you'll die.
Speaker 3: And isn't that awful?
Speaker 1: And yes, but there is a school of thought where
Speaker 1: there are guys who have that same DNA that say, God,
Speaker 1: I'd like to be out of a place like that,
Speaker 1: where I could just do whatever I wanted to And
Speaker 1: if if you don't agree with me, or you try
Speaker 1: to thwart whatever my agenda is, I kill you.
Speaker 3: And it's okay, it's acceptable.
Speaker 2: Trump's Special Envoy Steve Whitcoff, who's been tasked with handling
Speaker 2: this issue of Russia and Ukraine, he said that a
Speaker 2: full cease fire can be achieved, he believes within a
Speaker 2: couple of weeks. He also said that there is likely
Speaker 2: going to be an official meeting between Trump and Putin.
Speaker 2: We know that Secretary of State Marco Rubio, along with
Speaker 2: Nationals Advisor Mike Waltz, will be headed back to Saudi
Speaker 2: Arabia on Sunday. I believe uh and that it's not
Speaker 2: clear if the Ukrainians will be there as well, but
Speaker 2: that there is a potential for this to be a
Speaker 2: three way talk. That in Saudi Arabia with Rubio and
Speaker 2: Waltz there, that they could have Ukrainian and Russian negotiators
Speaker 2: in the room at the same time, which would be
Speaker 2: a major step towards some sort of a ceasefire deal.
Speaker 1: We'll see, all right, coming up next, Have you noticed
Speaker 1: that you are not taking any leftovers home from the restaurant.
Speaker 5: I have a doggyback story over good. You can tell
Speaker 5: the story. Nope, Nope, tell the story. No, it's too late,
Speaker 5: it's not too late. I got a doggie bag and
Speaker 5: asked for my dying dog, could I have some steak?
Speaker 5: And the guy's like yeah, and then you gave me
Speaker 5: French fries.
Speaker 1: Okay, well it was your wife that asked, right, So
Speaker 1: you changed it already.
Speaker 2: I told it so fast, and you realized that I'd
Speaker 2: screwed it up, but the dog enjoyed the French fright,
Speaker 2: Sure did.
Speaker 3: But it's true.
Speaker 1: I mean, when's the last time you left the restaurant
Speaker 1: with leftovers?
Speaker 3: It definitely depends on the kind of restaurant.
Speaker 1: Sure, yeah, you're not going to take home leftover sushi.
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna take them sushi. I'm not gonna take
Speaker 3: home thy food.
Speaker 7: You're not.
Speaker 1: I like, probably not reheated tay food like pad tie specifically.
Speaker 3: But Mexican food all the time. Really, See, I wouldn't
Speaker 3: take home Mexican food.
Speaker 2: Because there are spices that they perfect that I could
Speaker 2: never do in my house. Like what dish I'm just
Speaker 2: thinking of, like a good I don't know, perhaps a
Speaker 2: molay of some kind, anything, because.
Speaker 4: I see you leaving any molay on the table.
Speaker 3: Well, there's also that.
Speaker 2: I mean that may be the issue. Is that I
Speaker 2: overeat when I'm at a restaurant.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. You don't over eat. You just
Speaker 3: don't leave food on the plate. You've seen me, you
Speaker 3: don't waste. Thank you.
Speaker 2: Gary and Shannon will continue Hot doggie Bag Talk when
Speaker 2: we come back.
Speaker 7: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 7: AM six forty.
Speaker 2: A bunch of stories that were following big deal weather
Speaker 2: wise across the country. A kitchen sink storm system clobbering
Speaker 2: the Midwest. They save from the Central Plains up to
Speaker 2: the Great Lake. Strong tornado is possible around Chicago. They're saying,
Speaker 2: blizzard conditions have been blasting Nebraska and Kansas. Farther south,
Speaker 2: you've got Oklahoma and Texas facing a day of critical
Speaker 2: wildfire danger. The low pressure system that's generating all of
Speaker 2: this right now is centered over Kansas, and it's bringing
Speaker 2: moisture north up from the Gulf of Mexico. Tesla has
Speaker 2: been removed from the Vancouver International Auto Show. The decision
Speaker 2: was announced just yesterday afternoon by Eric Nickel, the exis
Speaker 2: secutive director of the event, takes place at the Vancouver
Speaker 2: Convention Center. In a statement, he explained that Tesla was
Speaker 2: given multiple chances to voluntarily withdrawal from the show. He
Speaker 2: said the Vancouver Auto Shows primary concern is the safety
Speaker 2: of the attendees, the exhibitors, and staff. Speaking of which,
Speaker 2: somebody posted on the Internet the home address of every
Speaker 2: Tesla owner in the country. Wow, as well as every
Speaker 2: Tesla showroom, every charging station and the known homes and
Speaker 2: residences of Department of Government Efficiency employees. Even Director Cash
Speaker 2: Patel FBI Director Cash Patel with the symbol of a
Speaker 2: Molotov cocktail as the cursor, and then said something as
Speaker 2: idiotic as oh, we're not saying you do anything with
Speaker 2: the information.
Speaker 1: There is a shift in the way we're leaving restaurants.
Speaker 4: We're not leaving with our food.
Speaker 1: A lot of half eaten meals are being left right
Speaker 1: where you left them. A number of restaurant tours in
Speaker 1: New York and other cities have observed this shift in behavior,
Speaker 1: that there is this what they're calling a doggy bag
Speaker 1: aversion to a number of factors. They attribute this social stigmas,
Speaker 1: the ease of ordering takeout and a return to sharing
Speaker 1: food after the pandemic made doing so taboo. So if
Speaker 1: we're at a meal and you don't finish your veal parmesan,
Speaker 1: I'm less apt to stick my fork in it and
Speaker 1: be like, we didn't finish it isn't any good, which
Speaker 1: I will do routinely and I probably did during the pandemic.
Speaker 3: I just I eat people off of people's plates.
Speaker 4: I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
Speaker 3: Well, you were an orphan. I was an orphan. Thank
Speaker 3: you for you know what?
Speaker 4: Thank you?
Speaker 3: I had forgotten about that.
Speaker 1: I was an orphan, So food and security issues, no
Speaker 1: breasts to milk to be milked.
Speaker 4: There was no breast milk.
Speaker 1: So obviously the food and secure where's my next meal
Speaker 1: coming from?
Speaker 3: It wasn't right there.
Speaker 4: I didn't know.
Speaker 1: The seriousness with which I say those things is shocking.
Speaker 3: Later truly ridiculous. I'll take it.
Speaker 1: But I think that's more to do with the fact
Speaker 1: that I like to taste different things, lots of different things.
Speaker 1: It's hard for me to commit to an entree, just
Speaker 1: like the one thing the average American leaves fifty three
Speaker 1: foods fifty three pounds of food. That's quite a sting
Speaker 1: on the plate every year. Fifty three pounds. That's a
Speaker 1: huge amount of food. They say, three hundred and twenty
Speaker 1: nine dollars worth. That sounds like a lot more money.
Speaker 1: Fifty three pounds of food eating out is a lot
Speaker 1: more than three hundred and twenty nine if you live
Speaker 1: in California.
Speaker 2: Couple different reasons why they give different different restaurant tours
Speaker 2: suggest that, for one thing, Generation Z grows up with
Speaker 2: the ability to order whatever they want, whenever they want
Speaker 2: from their phones, So why bring home extra food? I mean,
Speaker 2: those people are also less it's true, but those people
Speaker 2: are also less likely to go out and get something
Speaker 2: to eat because they can get it brought to them. Now,
Speaker 2: my wife and I thankfully share the opinion that some
Speaker 2: food that you're going to eat from a restaurant, whatever
Speaker 2: it is, it could be. It could be in and out,
Speaker 2: it could be spago like what it's best eaten there. Yeah,
Speaker 2: when I was in Arizona in January, guy had ordered
Speaker 2: a steak from a steakhouse across the way from the hotel,
Speaker 2: but had it delivered to the hotel, and the next
Speaker 2: night went and had that same steak at that steakhouse,
Speaker 2: sitting in a chair at the bar and said it
Speaker 2: was a hundred times better right there in the restaurant.
Speaker 3: I think steak travels.
Speaker 2: That's the thing is that people they get in this
Speaker 2: world where they think that they want to deliver benefit
Speaker 2: is that it's delivered to you.
Speaker 4: Just because you can doesn't mean you're s it. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Another one says that if you take public transit, like
Speaker 2: if you're in New York and you take the subway
Speaker 2: to go to dinner, You're not going to take a
Speaker 2: doggie bag home with you. And if you're walking like
Speaker 2: in some of the I'm thinking like a gas lamp
Speaker 2: quarter in San Diego, if you're going to walk to dinner,
Speaker 2: it's less likely you're gonna want to haul a couple
Speaker 2: pounds of.
Speaker 1: Remember my parents going out to dinner though when we
Speaker 1: were kids, they always came back with leftovers.
Speaker 9: It's the best midnight snack listen. And I know that
Speaker 9: there are people Keana that's perfect. There are people who
Speaker 9: just don't do leftovers. I think Moe is one of
Speaker 9: those guys. He says he just doesn't do leftovers. There's
Speaker 9: also something about specific foods. When leftover allowed to marinate
Speaker 9: in its own goo for a twenty four hours in
Speaker 9: your fridge, it tastes better.
Speaker 1: My husband has this term for leftovers that he has
Speaker 1: used since and I used to think he was being funny,
Speaker 1: like are you joking?
Speaker 4: As I said, joke?
Speaker 3: He calls it. Didn't like it the first time?
Speaker 4: Is it pre eaten foods?
Speaker 1: Well, you know, He'll say things like, well, you know
Speaker 1: you don't like pre eating foods, And I'm like, what
Speaker 1: do you like leftovers, pre eaten foods like and he
Speaker 1: says it every time he refers to him, but.
Speaker 3: It's not even been eaten. That's the whole point is
Speaker 3: that that?
Speaker 1: No, But I mean it's like it's like if I'm
Speaker 1: gonna make dinner and then the next night he'll have
Speaker 1: that same dinner where I'll be like, I want something different,
Speaker 1: and he'll be like, well, you don't like pre eating food.
Speaker 3: He ate that already leftovers? It's leftovers.
Speaker 2: Are there specific foods that you would definitely take home?
Speaker 2: Like pasta? Definitely.
Speaker 1: I'll never finish a whole plate to pasta in the restaurant,
Speaker 1: and that's great. Reheated pasta is always great reheated' you know,
Speaker 1: like any sort of pizza, same pieces pizza in pasta
Speaker 1: pretty much the thing.
Speaker 4: But I also don't over order.
Speaker 1: If I'm in a restaurant, I'll order like an appetizer
Speaker 1: for an entree, or I'll share an entree because I could.
Speaker 1: One of the reasons I don't like bringing stuff home
Speaker 1: and then reheating it because it doesn't travel well or
Speaker 1: reheat well.
Speaker 2: I also try to avoid restaurants where the whole key
Speaker 2: is the larger portions.
Speaker 3: Yeah, those kinds of restaurants. Just don't It's like the
Speaker 3: cheesecake factory.
Speaker 6: Go on.
Speaker 1: You don't need that in bed, and you don't need
Speaker 1: that on your plate.
Speaker 3: All right? Coming up for it.
Speaker 2: Is also what you watch on Wednesday, So do not
Speaker 2: forget to let us know what you have been watching.
Speaker 2: We'll do that. Coming up at twelve thirty. Leave us
Speaker 2: a talk back on the iHeart app. Just hit that
Speaker 2: little microphone. It sends us a message.
Speaker 1: Justin Wersham coming into this mess when we return.
Speaker 7: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 7: AM six forty.
Speaker 1: My mom is now laughing. I'm hoping she's lasting at
Speaker 1: our whole or.
Speaker 3: With us.
Speaker 9: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: He just wrote more please missus, Oliver Twine.
Speaker 3: Good for you as a solid mom, solid mom. A
Speaker 3: couple of stories that we are following.
Speaker 2: Number one was we saw President Trump speak with President
Speaker 2: do Zallenski of Ukraine for about an hour today as
Speaker 2: they try to make progress towards some sort of a
Speaker 2: peace deal. Couple of judicial losses for the Trump administration.
Speaker 2: In one, a judge ruled that the attempt to unilaterally
Speaker 2: dismantled us AID may have violated the Constitution. In fact,
Speaker 2: said he likely violated the constitution. So Doge and Elon
Speaker 2: Musk were ordered to submit a written agreement within a
Speaker 2: couple of weeks to make sure that US a i D.
Speaker 3: Can go back to its former building.
Speaker 2: The second judicial loss came when a federal judge blocked
Speaker 2: the administration's ban on transgender military service members and issued
Speaker 2: a preliminary injunction that halts that policy from from taking effect.
Speaker 3: I love this topic.
Speaker 1: It is old school parenting ideas that this uh, this article,
Speaker 1: opines is just what today's kids need and helping us
Speaker 1: sort through it all is justin worship.
Speaker 3: Hello, touchdown? Just sports is not sports. Absolutely gave up
Speaker 3: on your San Francisco.
Speaker 4: Yeah, became a RAMS fan, and that is when.
Speaker 3: We stopped being sorry for my children. No, no, it's
Speaker 3: not my children. Okay, first five, it's not for the children.
Speaker 3: Teach your children to have some amount of credibility.
Speaker 1: And you know what, not just credibility, but loyalty, indignity,
Speaker 1: and integrity.
Speaker 6: Did it sounds like somebody's a little upset about the
Speaker 6: DeVante Adams signing.
Speaker 3: No, I'm not tell your faith. I am not tell you.
Speaker 1: You think Matt Stafford's gonna you think there's gonna be
Speaker 1: a different ending to this season.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, all right, I do because they're so great.
Speaker 3: Are so great. There it is, and now I know
Speaker 3: why she likes doing it. This is my first opportunity
Speaker 3: to trigger her.
Speaker 6: And it feels like I feel electricity in my base
Speaker 6: or it's just.
Speaker 3: Old school parenting. Oh my god, I'm like sweating and
Speaker 3: vibrating with joy. I'm not lying. This is oh my god.
Speaker 6: I now understand the power that you feel on a
Speaker 6: daily basis. What's incredible because I just said something in
Speaker 6: name to me and you just started.
Speaker 1: It's not something you said, it's the fact that you
Speaker 1: would be a lifelong forty nine er fan hand And.
Speaker 6: While she talks his forts into flipping the bird, she's
Speaker 6: just standing.
Speaker 3: Here, team and set along the ride.
Speaker 2: I live for the biggest ri that I will take
Speaker 2: the training care basically to.
Speaker 1: The Enos season stayed like five and seven at the
Speaker 1: time you decided to be a ram My son was like,
Speaker 1: I really like the RAM And then that's where you
Speaker 1: tell them that they're wrong.
Speaker 3: You not say no to your say no to your
Speaker 3: kid everything. It's like every that's what.
Speaker 1: I mean, kid wants to be a Dolphins fan when
Speaker 1: they're five because they like Dolphins.
Speaker 3: You don't let them live their life as a Dolphins.
Speaker 6: Anybody wants to be a Dolphins fan. I think Shannon's
Speaker 6: talking about herself.
Speaker 1: Everybody knows a kid that wanted to be a Dolphins
Speaker 1: fan when they were five.
Speaker 3: Issues. That's maybe like a girlfriend you have surgery in
Speaker 3: nineteen eighty four.
Speaker 1: Because one is upset. She's running down the hall saying,
Speaker 1: stay on topic.
Speaker 3: No, she's not issue. Yes, oh she is my best
Speaker 3: number one. She's like, this is uninteresting.
Speaker 4: I understand.
Speaker 6: Just so we're clear, I just said a couple of
Speaker 6: dumb things.
Speaker 3: Jesus is going off.
Speaker 2: Well, I want to bring this back to the topic.
Speaker 3: But I think giving your kids, well, you have to
Speaker 3: let them throw a tantrum. Gary, let a fan. You
Speaker 3: don't have to change your You don't have to change
Speaker 3: your strife. You don't want to. The dynamic where the
Speaker 3: two of you gang up on me made my decision.
Speaker 1: You weren't born and raised in Modesto to root for
Speaker 1: the Rams.
Speaker 6: That's true, that's very true. But my kids were born
Speaker 6: and raised in Burbank to.
Speaker 3: Get what the children who cares.
Speaker 6: Listen, It's okay. They're like, nobody likes the rams like
Speaker 6: a truss me. Anybody who goes to a game knows
Speaker 6: that the majority of the people there are visiting because
Speaker 6: they came from some other city.
Speaker 3: So it's like, you just have.
Speaker 6: This like trap that brings the team in so that
Speaker 6: you could watch your team beat the crap out of
Speaker 6: the local.
Speaker 3: Team that you like. You hold up shop and I
Speaker 3: are ten years apart, almost to the minute.
Speaker 6: His birthday is also January. You don't think it's fun
Speaker 6: that parlor Tricky does where he remembers every play ever.
Speaker 3: That's fun. That's cool. It sounds like John Gruden. That's delightful,
Speaker 3: just without the racist. Give your kids space. Give your space.
Speaker 1: Unlike you two are giving you at the beginning of
Speaker 1: every baseball season.
Speaker 3: You get a little jones in for football. Yeah, and
Speaker 3: I apologize that you took the brunt of it.
Speaker 4: Today.
Speaker 2: She had she had about a quiet month, so she
Speaker 2: just saw abusive girlfriend just immediately.
Speaker 3: I love you so much. You don't you don't care
Speaker 3: when I'm talking. You're not talking. When I'm talking, you're
Speaker 3: not talking. We'll get it back on track. I swear.
Speaker 7: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 7: AM six forty.
Speaker 1: Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. And that's all I'm
Speaker 1: going to say this segment.
Speaker 6: I guess we're carrying over. Did you get anger? No,
Speaker 6: she didn't get in trouble. She's just trying not to get.
Speaker 1: I don't want to ruin it because I really want
Speaker 1: him to get to this topic about the old school
Speaker 1: parenting manage.
Speaker 2: Okay, well we did the giving your kids space thing
Speaker 2: and the tanker let them cover that team.
Speaker 6: What I want to say about so what this was
Speaker 6: is that this guy put on Reddit, like what are
Speaker 6: some things that you experienced in your childhood that you
Speaker 6: think would be good for kids today but is not
Speaker 6: part of the you know, modern parenting style. And the
Speaker 6: first one is giving your kids space, but it's not
Speaker 6: the space that I think. It means that it's not
Speaker 6: a safe space. It means that allowing them to fail
Speaker 6: that like failure is the best teacher out there, and
Speaker 6: I would agree with that. But the second one is
Speaker 6: also let them be alone, which means you're not always
Speaker 6: around them trying to like entertain them or engage them,
Speaker 6: stimulate them, like just let them be, and it goes
Speaker 6: into all these benefits of like emotional development.
Speaker 3: When your kid gets to be bored.
Speaker 6: It's everything that everybody who grew up in the eighties
Speaker 6: feels like. The kids today don't have right because they
Speaker 6: have these computers and TVs and everything all in their
Speaker 6: pocket all the time.
Speaker 3: The chores thing is also pretty important.
Speaker 2: Yes, I've run into this a couple of times, probably
Speaker 2: more often lately, where kids don't have chores, they just
Speaker 2: have money.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's just the way it goes.
Speaker 2: I just have money and available to them anytime they want,
Speaker 2: and mom or Dad can venmo them or PayPal or
Speaker 2: app whatever it is.
Speaker 3: Do your kids have chores?
Speaker 2: They had very specific requirements. Yes, there are things that
Speaker 2: they were responsible.
Speaker 6: I failed at this. We started off with chores, but
Speaker 6: I could not get them. I couldn't get them on board.
Speaker 6: And I hate like throwing my wife under the bus
Speaker 6: a little bit, but she's not big on consequences, like
Speaker 6: that's our parenting fight that we have within our relationship,
Speaker 6: and I very much am and so she's just like, well,
Speaker 6: they try.
Speaker 3: Everything is about effort, doesn't matter the result, all right,
Speaker 3: Like the playoffs, You're right, you.
Speaker 6: Totally won that one. That's great. I have not won
Speaker 6: this entire two segments at all. You're right, you nailed
Speaker 6: the shit got me so good.
Speaker 3: You got me on my heels.
Speaker 1: It very easy to manipulate if you tell me I won,
Speaker 1: Even if I know I'm being manipulated, it still feels good.
Speaker 3: Oh good, I like that. That's great. That's even more
Speaker 3: fun for me to have later. I also think it's
Speaker 3: her birthday if you give her a card.
Speaker 6: My Shannon fair Fair and toolbox is getting so big
Speaker 6: right I'm flirting so many skills right now. The other
Speaker 6: one that I like in here is allowing them to
Speaker 6: experience conflict. This was something that came up with my
Speaker 6: kids is that my wife and I have had like
Speaker 6: one really big fight and we had it in front
Speaker 6: of our oldest son and he kind of started to
Speaker 6: get upset.
Speaker 3: My wife kind of like looked like, okay, let's be careful.
Speaker 4: What were you fighting about.
Speaker 6: We were actually fighting about her, But she she would treat
Speaker 6: me like a sitcom dad, even though I was the
Speaker 6: guy who was home with the kids. It was when
Speaker 6: I was working here at the radio station on handle show,
Speaker 6: so I was home with them after school. I was
Speaker 6: cooking meals and all that stuff, and she came home
Speaker 6: one day and she was like, well, you know, he
Speaker 6: thinks that you don't care whenever he has an ailment
Speaker 6: and tried to explain to me how to properly.
Speaker 3: Care for a child. Does he thinks my son?
Speaker 6: Was saying this to my wife after I had gone
Speaker 6: to bed at like seven o'clock because I was getting
Speaker 6: up at two am, and I just was like, you
Speaker 6: don't like last you guys made fun of me before,
Speaker 6: like I literally broke down breastfeeding.
Speaker 3: To her, like I had to talk about the biology.
Speaker 6: And again, I don't like this because my wife is
Speaker 6: great and I literally could not live without her. And
Speaker 6: I hate it when sometimes I talk making jokes like
Speaker 6: she comes.
Speaker 3: Across that you adore her. Don't are you doing the
Speaker 3: thing I was doing? No, I'm serious, I'm serious. I
Speaker 3: don't worry about that. No, I know I couldn't.
Speaker 6: Like I literally gave up the career I wanted since
Speaker 6: I was in first grades. I could be around this
Speaker 6: woman and these children more. But so anyway, we got
Speaker 6: into this big fight about it because I'm like, I'm
Speaker 6: not an uninvolved dad.
Speaker 3: I'm not an ignorant. Dad, I'm very engaged. I'm very aware.
Speaker 6: I said, you can't come into the situation acting like
Speaker 6: you have all of the information when you have none.
Speaker 6: And that was kind of what I was sternly saying
Speaker 6: back to her because I was offended. And so I
Speaker 6: broke it down from them and I said, listen, I go.
Speaker 6: You and your brother fight all the time. You don't
Speaker 6: see your mom and I getting upset, right, I go.
Speaker 6: And this is where I really nailed as a father.
Speaker 6: I said, I go, Well, the four of us are
Speaker 6: all living in this house together in close proximity. I go,
Speaker 6: Prisoners try to stab each other just from being close
Speaker 6: to each other.
Speaker 3: It's very similar. But I have to make their own knives.
Speaker 3: We have them in the drawer. He's like, I got
Speaker 3: my ship right here. But it was something that I
Speaker 3: noticed about even my parents.
Speaker 6: My parents would have lots of conversations, disagreements, arguments in
Speaker 6: front of me, and it kind of teaches you how
Speaker 6: to be in a relationship. I think, otherwise you don't.
Speaker 6: There's no way to model that if you hide it
Speaker 6: from them. There's one of these later on that I
Speaker 6: think is interesting. It's a side with the teacher. Yeah,
Speaker 6: sometimes the teacher is right about your kid being incorrigible
Speaker 6: or acting out in class. But just as important as
Speaker 6: that is, like hey, missus Terwilliger has the opportunity to
Speaker 6: call you out on your ass. There are times when
Speaker 6: you have to defend the kid against the teacher. Have
Speaker 6: done I have done that less than what I would
Speaker 6: expect it as a parent. I've I have fought advocated
Speaker 6: for my kid against more teachers. There's been teachers that
Speaker 6: I have relationships with that I know, and they've like,
Speaker 6: like they've set a picture of Jack when he was
Speaker 6: in first grade that he just decided he wasn't going
Speaker 6: to listen and he did a duck and cover drill
Speaker 6: under the desk, like just lay down, and the teacher
Speaker 6: texts me, she goes, this is what he's doing right now,
Speaker 6: and I don't know what to do.
Speaker 1: That's like a whole topic like siding with the teacher
Speaker 1: or your kid and the ramifications of both of those.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a case by case basis. I would
Speaker 1: assume the.
Speaker 2: Context of a lawyer, Right, you are your kids, you
Speaker 2: got your kid's advocate. But in the event that your
Speaker 2: kid is accused of doing something that they didn't do.
Speaker 2: You have to have that heart to heart, honest conversation
Speaker 2: with hey, listen, I'll go to bat for you, and
Speaker 2: I'll use all the resources that are available to me
Speaker 2: to defend you. But you better go all the way
Speaker 2: down and tell me the absolute God's honest track about this,
Speaker 2: because if there's any moment that I find out that
Speaker 2: you're lying about it, or you're fudging the details, or
Speaker 2: you're passing off responsibility, I'm out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then you're on your own, and you don't
Speaker 3: want that.
Speaker 6: Both of my kids have had that conversation with me
Speaker 6: where I've said, I go, listen, I go if I
Speaker 6: will fight for you, and I am involved in these schools,
Speaker 6: so the parker I will go in there.
Speaker 3: I will I will parker it up.
Speaker 1: And but like what if, like you know, I'm just
Speaker 1: thinking of something where there's gray area, you know, not
Speaker 1: like plagiarism or cheating on a test or something, but
Speaker 1: you know your kid's not showing effort or whatever. Will
Speaker 1: and your kids like I am doing everything I can.
Speaker 3: How do you navigate that?
Speaker 6: I had that where the what was happening was he
Speaker 6: was struggling in math. The teacher was not really supporting.
Speaker 6: It also happened to be during the pandemic. He was
Speaker 6: failing math, and I said, I go, okay, on Friday,
Speaker 6: that's your day that you go check in, because this
Speaker 6: was the time where they didn't have school on Friday,
Speaker 6: but the teachers had like office hours like it was
Speaker 6: a college, and you would go and check in from
Speaker 6: what you would learn to make sure you were getting.
Speaker 6: And I said, you go to her every Friday and
Speaker 6: say this is what I think I'm understanding.
Speaker 3: Am I right?
Speaker 6: Every Friday? You go talk to her. He's like okay,
Speaker 6: And then he was still failing. And I went back
Speaker 6: and I talked to her, and he didn't go every Friday,
Speaker 6: and so I had to tell him, I'm like, listen,
Speaker 6: she was definitely in the wrong. Like something else came
Speaker 6: up where he was upset about trying to make up
Speaker 6: the work and he was emotional, and he was twelve,
Speaker 6: And this was back when he got to go back
Speaker 6: into the classroom and he was approaching her to talk
Speaker 6: to her, and a twelve year old was emotional in
Speaker 6: front of her and she and he started crying and
Speaker 6: she laughed in his face. That was something that I
Speaker 6: got The admin involved, not because I was worried about
Speaker 6: my kid, but I was like, you can't let this
Speaker 6: lady do somebody else, because somebody else is to start
Speaker 6: beating and getting pitchforks and torches and want' fired because
Speaker 6: they're going to care more about this.
Speaker 3: Right. But I said you you.
Speaker 6: Took my ability to help you away when you didn't
Speaker 6: do what I told you to do. You didn't do
Speaker 6: your part, So I can't help you now with this.
Speaker 6: You're just gonna have to deal with the result and
Speaker 6: the consequence. All right, So next week we'll talk more
Speaker 6: about it, all right. I will get that together, Thank
Speaker 6: your kids. Maybe we'll do the second segment about the
Speaker 6: NFC West just in general.
Speaker 4: That's fine, Okay, I'm done, No, I'm not.
Speaker 3: What do you googling?
Speaker 1: I'm responding to Debora Mark. She sent me a new
Speaker 1: sex show to watch.
Speaker 3: So poor boy. I'm so glad. I asked as always
Speaker 3: a joy when you were here. I'm sorry, just like
Speaker 3: a battered way. I'm sorry. It's me, it's me.
