This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
A M six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
We were talking earlier about about in laws and whether
or not you get along with your in laws.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Hi, guys, my brother in law is a piece of work.
He's just like Gary. He's insecure. He's a no at all.
He's got an ego, can't stand to be told when
he's wrong. He's just a complete lame.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
Bye, what did you do today?
Speaker 5 (00:31):
A complete lame?
Speaker 1 (00:33):
I remember his voice. He doesn't like us, but yet
contributes often, consistent, consistently. It is time for swamp watch.
Speaker 5 (00:42):
Politician, which means I'm a cheat and a liar. And
when I'm not kissing babies, I'm stealing that lollipops. Here
we got.
Speaker 6 (00:48):
The real problem is that our leaders are done.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
The other side never quits, so.
Speaker 5 (00:54):
I'm not going anywhere.
Speaker 6 (00:56):
So now you train the.
Speaker 5 (00:58):
Swat, I can imagine what can and be unburdened by
what has been. You know, Americans have always been going
at president. They're not stupid.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
A political plunder is when a politician actually tells the truth.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
Why have the people voting for you were not swamp Watch.
They're all counterad.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Are you living with foot pain? Have you been diagnosed
with plant or fasci iis Visit the Good Feet Store
learn how you can find relief without shot, surgeries or medications.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Swamp Watch brought to you by the Good Feet Store.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
There is mounting pressure here and abroad to have some
sort of a decision from President Trump about what he's
going to do with Iran, and as of just a
short time ago, Caroline Levitt, the White House Press Secretary,
read a statement from the President.
Speaker 7 (01:45):
I have a message directly from the President, and I quote,
based on the fact that there's a substantial chance of
negotiations that may or may not take place with Iran
in the near future. I will make my decision whether
or not to go within the next next two weeks.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
There you go, within two weeks.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
We've seen that window before, the window of ultimatum, of
ultimate ultimatum to use the president's own term, So we
don't know what the plan is. He did have yet
another meeting with the National Security Council in terms of
the briefing of what's going on, and it's only getting
hotter between Iran and Israel. Israel struck a couple of
Iran's nuclear facilities again, and Iran struck in Israeli hospital,
(02:29):
among other things, and hurt about two hundred plus people
in the in Beersheba is where that hospital was, in
the southern part of Israel.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
It's written up saying the president hasn't made up his mind.
I believe the president has made up his mind. What
do you think. I think this is a president that
would have a very hard time resisting sending in the
B two with that massive bomb that only we have
to bust up that nuclear bunker in Iran.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Well, he may have made this decision a long time ago.
There's something going on between he and Tulca Gabbard right
now as well. She's the Director of National Intelligence and
testified before Congress just a short time ago that according
to the intelligence community, Iran doesn't have a nuclear capability
and that the Ayatola has not given them the green
(03:18):
light to you.
Speaker 8 (03:19):
IC continues to assess that Iran is not building a
nuclear weapon and Supreme Leader Kameni has not authorized the
nuclear weapons program that he suspended in two thousand and three.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Now, but she's a Russia for lack of a better term.
She likes Russia, she has ties to Russia. It's well documented.
Russia doesn't want the United States to get involved with
Iran directly like this.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
But so she's you're saying she's lying.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
I don't know, she's spinning it.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
She's certainly spinning it to create some sort of feeling
that Iran doesn't have what everybody fears.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Well, but this brings up an issue that came up
during the first Trump administration, and who's he then getting
his intelligence from? If she's the driver of se Gabbard,
if she's in charge of seventeen intelligence agencies and is
the mouthpiece for them to the president, who's he getting
his information from?
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Because he says he doesn't care what she says.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Of course he doesn't. He believes that they are going
there is a gift to Putin. She's there to keep
things nice and copasetic with Putin and Trump. She's there
to be a mouthpiece for Russia. There's just there's no
way that she is true to her title.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
But if this, if this plays out this way, if
this continues to go down the road of her saying
that there is no nuclear program in Iran and him
saying there is she's not going to last in that job.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
If there was no program in Iran, then everyone is
just off their ass. All the intelligence that we have
not named Tulsi Gabbard is wrong.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
Get out of here. I mean not you.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Wow, but I think she's nutcase. Do you have another
ic coffee today or something I did? I did, I
made it at home.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Did you see the ongoing speaking of the fracturing of
political parties going after I'm asking, I'm asked, Sorry, Tucker Carlson,
going after Ted Cruz and vice versa.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
I missed it thinking about your allegation and the Prime
Minister of Israel's allegation that.
Speaker 6 (05:26):
Killing terrorists is a good thing. Killing people are trying
to murder Americans is a good thing because if you're
America first, you want to protect Americans. So taking out
killing O'samovan Laden was a fantastic.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
But you don't believe that they're trying to murder Trump?
Or yes, yes, but why aren't you calling for military
action against Tehran right now?
Speaker 6 (05:44):
Because they're not very effective in terms of hit men.
Their hitmen are not very effective.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
I do think this was one of the most contentious
interviews I've seen between two Republicans in name or at
least the voting registration in a very long time.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Tucker Carlson also asked Ted Cruz do you know how
many people live in Iran? And Ted Cruz is like,
I have no idea, And then Tucker Carlson, very smugly
and calmly ninety two million.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
Like that's a gotcha moment.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Well, because he says, you want to do away with
the Iranian country, but don't have an idea of how
many people could potentially be killed with it, And Ted.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
Cruse like, now, I'm not trying to kill the country.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I'm trying to get rid of the awful politicians and
leaders that have turned that country into an absolute toilet bowl.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
It was, it was very well.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Where is Tucker Carlson these days on Trump and everything
that's going on.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
I haven't paid attention.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
They do not agree?
Speaker 4 (06:45):
They do, that's for sure? Is that because he is like, why.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
Listen the whole thing about Telsea Gabberby.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
Is it an America first type thing?
Speaker 5 (06:56):
Or well?
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Yeah, like if the President campaigned on keeping us out
of getting out of and keeping us out of foreign wars,
this would go against that promise right?
Speaker 4 (07:06):
Is he a Russia apologist?
Speaker 1 (07:09):
He has been very cozy with Vladimir poop Okay, so
he and Tulsi are all in bed with Putin. I
don't know about Tulsi, but Tucker has definitely been a
little bit more of a soft shoe with Vladimir Putin
than others have.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
A soft shoe soft shoes. Yeah, he's a good buffer shoes,
a good buffer.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
What does that even mean? Soft shoe?
Speaker 5 (07:32):
I'm wearing soft shoes right now, are you? Yeah? Those
aren't just rubber.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
You really phoned it in for a Thursday. Are you
dealing with something?
Speaker 5 (07:40):
I'm wearing a belt? All right?
Speaker 4 (07:44):
What are we doing? How to say no at work?
There was an article on the Wall Street No that
was good.
Speaker 9 (07:53):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
According to Multiple Sports, the Dodgers are expected to announce
today some sort of a sweeping initiative to assist migrant
communities impacted by the recent federal immigration enforcements that have
been taking place. In fact, there are camera TV cameras
that are placed outside Dodger Stadium covering this story that
have apparently also captured some ice agents or homeland security
(08:23):
investigators in the parking lot at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
There is a reason why office space has such a
cult following, and it's because, if you've seen the Major
Emotion Picture, the character, the lead character in it, just
decides he doesn't want.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
To do stuff at work anymore. He's he's a guy,
he's a droll.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
He works for a data company, and it's all very
you know, exactly what you would expect from somebody who
inputs data nine to five kind of thing. He's got
three different bosses, they ask for the same thing. There's
a lot of redundancy, and he's like, you know what,
I'm just not going to do it anymore. And when
you're watching the movie, you feel almost like a weightlifted
(09:07):
from your own shoulders. It's like, ah, that's refreshing. Well,
there was an article in the Wall Street Journal that
kind of told you.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
How to do that, how to say no at work,
Just no, no, I'm not going to do that.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Well, let's go back to why it's hard to say no.
A lot of people are concerned that if you say no,
you might damage the relationship with whoever's asking you to
do something.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Well, in a lot of jobs, if you say no,
there will be people behind you that will say yes,
and then they will get the job in the paycheck
and your sol I come from a school of thought
of you allow it to everything. No, you say yes
to everything. Oh, especially in radio. Oh can you work
Christmas morning? Absolutely?
Speaker 4 (09:56):
I can.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
You said yes to everything to get on the air.
Can you work weak ans, yes, I can. Can you
work nights? Yes I can? Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
it's how you Can you work for free?
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Yes I can. I mean we all did that.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
While you're here. Could you take the garbage out?
Speaker 4 (10:10):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure I can. Absolutely.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
I'll be the best garbage taker out or you've ever seen.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
And that's what you have to do in some jobs.
But I guess there comes a time when things become
a little bit unnecessary, like company dinners, unnecessary meetings, saying
yes to being available when you're on vacation or at home,
(10:36):
things like that. I guess when you're not, when you're
not twenty two trying to make it in radio, it's
okay to say no once in a while.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Every once in a while there is a I said that.
You know, there's a perception that if you say no,
you're going to ruin a relationship that you have with
your coworker or supervisor, whatever.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
But the work that was done by this columnist.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Talking to a bunch of different people, employment coaches, workplace advisors,
they've said, people would actually perceive you as more decisive
and purpose driven if you say no, if you say
no the right way, and people much rather have you
say no upfront than to say yes and realize maybe
you've bit off more than you can chew, or you
(11:21):
can't come through with the project, or your TPS reports
are late even though you said you would be able
to do them on This.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Is like when they said yes to inviting Dayton to
training camp for DCC, knowing that she was probably going to.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
Get a no.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Eventually, she started watching that Why don't you just say
no right away? It's three hours of my life yesterday
I put three hours. Yeah, I loved every moment your
couch meanwhile, was begging for forgiveness. That was hurtful, unnecessarily, Yes.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
You know, I'd rather say no right away then I'd
be stuck in that What would you say you do here?
Speaker 4 (12:04):
Oh? Such a good movie?
Speaker 2 (12:05):
They said, choose your words when you do refuse something,
you have to frame your response with empowered language. For instance,
the I don't signals your no stems from who you
are and the rules that you have set for yourself.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
I can't feels weak just coming out of your mouth.
I can't I've got this, or I'm so overwhelmed. Yeah,
it's so much awful. That's so untrue. Cognitive dissonance is
what you're hearing when you say I can't.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
As opposed to I don't do more than I or
I don't take on more than I know I can.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
Do something like that. I'll have to work it out.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
When have you been asked to do something that you've
wanted to say no, but you've said yes?
Speaker 9 (12:48):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Oh, your face right now is smiling, and that is
always a troubling sign.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
Is because I smiled immediately.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Uh, It's been a long time since I've been asked
to do something I didn't want to.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
Oh, I know what it is, but.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
I always do it. That's the thing.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Yeah, I know, I mean I know because that's who
you are well, and it's good.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
It's not just me and my attitude. There's a lot
of people.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
There's other people that work here exactly.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
And if I do something, I want to be able
to do it to help other people.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
You're also, your character is not one that shies away
from any work, no matter what it is, even if
you don't want to do it, even if I don't
want to do it or I think it's pointless. In
some case, it's a part of your fiber. It's not
a weakness. So with that said, do you think you
could come.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
I don't.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
I can't.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
I don't bite off more than I could.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
There was a story about a woman who runs a
legal brothel, and this was in Newsweek. The headline is,
I run a legal brothel. Here's what it's taught me
about people's fantasies. Okay, now I saw this this morning
and I thought, well, that might be fun to talk about.
And I was like, it probably won't be It'll probably
be super gross, and I don't need to know all
(14:15):
the corners of people's minds and things like that.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
But then I aired on the side of I'm very curious.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
I'm very curious, speaking of which, we're taking your talkbacks
on your relationships within laws, good bad, awful.
Speaker 10 (14:30):
Hearing shadows of course, I king, Yes, my ex mother
in law was a nightmare after the fact. She was
a nice person when I worked with her. She sets
me up with a blind aid with her daughter. Fast
forward a couple of years. We had a relationship, a
horrible marriage, and a divorce. Oh because of my ex
(14:53):
mother in law getting involved.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
Ever again, so nasty. I don't.
Speaker 9 (15:03):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
There was an article in Newsweek about a woman who
runs a legal brothel, and here's how it begins.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
It's just kind of proof that.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
The spectrum of what people are into fantasy, sexually, whatever
is a large spectrum. As I mentioned, here is how
it begins. He arrived merely with a toolbox, a jumpsuit
and an urgent look on his face. He nodded blightly
to the receptionists, checked in with the same quiet formality
(15:43):
someone might use at a dentist's office, and then went
upstairs in the brothel. For the next hour, he repaired
the sink, adjusted the shower head, ran tests on the toilet.
He had his own set of tools. The sex worker
he had booked played along, letting him go about his
performative plumbing uninterrupted. When time was up, he changed out
(16:05):
of the jumpsuit back into his normal clothes, thanked her
for a wonderful evening, and walked out the door with
the calm satisfaction of a man who had just fulfilled
a deep need. Okay, what that's what he's into? How
is that considered sexual? Because for him, for him, it
(16:27):
is for him doing plumbing tasks gets him to that location,
gets him there. We don't know if that's what happened, right,
I mean, we don't know if there was that action
we do with him, but it certainly seems like doing
(16:49):
that in front of a woman gave him the satisfaction
that he was seeking.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
She says.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
To some this may sound bizarre or laughable, maybe just
playing sad, but she said, as the manager of a
legal brothel, this was just another Tuesday. Over the past
nine years that she has worked there, she says she's
seen about every expression of sexuality you can imagine and
some you cannot imagine. She said, from classic role plays
(17:20):
surrounding one's age or pets, to the strangely specific like
this one is like men being aroused by women playing
with toy cars or eating pizza. So matchbox cars are
(17:41):
a thing Okay, I have a brother. He loves max
Car matchbox cars. Sure, I'll still get him one from
here and again when I see him at the grocery store.
I don't think as much as he loves matchbox car
and listen.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
I don't know what he's in do with his girlfriend,
but I don't think it entails her playing with a
matchbox car.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
No. This woman also says.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
Oddly, he's also a plumber, and.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
Maybe there is some connection there.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Uh, there's one guy who couldn't get aroused unless the
woman he had booked red car manuals to him out loud.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
Same dude that we're talking about.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
My brother loves car manuals or loves reybuilding transmissions and
the like.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
The guy who paid for an hour simply to sit
quietly while the woman played with her hair and watched cartoons.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
My brother also loves cartoons.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
Is this dude?
Speaker 1 (18:41):
I need to make a phone call. I don't you
know what he should live his life? If this is
based on him, that's cool, Like whatever, be happy.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
In some times, she says that she's seen people break
down crying halfway through.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
That's a problem if you're crying during any sort of
sexual experience. I think that's definitely something to work on
with a trained professional.
Speaker 5 (19:07):
Well, that's maybe why they're doing it.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Oh no, I mean like a trained head, like a
neuro profession to start somewhere.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
Yeah, I guess one of them.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Said that they booked time just to be insulted, because
that's what helped them release control. She says, in each
of these cases, the brothel she works then it works in,
is not a place of debauchery. It's a stage where
people try on versions of themselves that the outside world
(19:39):
simply will not allow.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
Hmmm.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
I don't think it would be a problem. Like if
you went home to your wife tonight and you said,
you know what I want to do tonight, like cry
right in the middle. No, no, no, that's not a that's
not negotiable.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
But if you said, like, will you play.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
With some Matchbox cars and watch Scooby Doo, she'd be
fine with that. She'd be like, Oh, that's what you're right, Like,
that's not.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
A big ask.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
You wouldn't have to go to a brothel and pay
someone for that, Like she would do.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
That maybe, yeah, but there would be some follow up.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
There'd be some questions, yeah, maybe.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Like where Are you gonna get that matchbox cars the
Vaughn's Okay, yeah, because I'm not taking it out of
my son's room.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Nor don't make it weird me. Okay, Hold on a second.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
You're the one who's painting this pretty interesting picture of
your own brother.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
I know I'm gonna have to catch up with him.
Make a call, see how things are going up there.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
All right, you're in laws? Are they great? Are they awful?
Do they do they fit the stereotype? We'll talk about
it when we come back.
Speaker 9 (20:46):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
Do you love a story of a frivolous lawsuit?
Speaker 5 (20:53):
Much depends?
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Is it written on yellow legal pad by a prisoner?
Speaker 4 (20:58):
No?
Speaker 5 (20:58):
Oh, those are my face.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Woman in North Carolina is suing her former workplace overclaims
that a supervisor intimidated her with.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
A chucky doll.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Oh this is he left the chucky doll in the
car or something like that.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
She's suing Trust Bank, saying she suffers from a fear
of dolls, a phobia, and that she was traumatized into
treatment because of this. She claims the supervisor left the
chucky doll on her desk. That doll is very creepy. However,
if I came to work and there was a Chucky
(21:37):
doll sitting on my desk, I'd be like, let's go.
Let's go, Chucky. You and me will burn the whole
place down right or die. Let's go. Like Chuckie and
I would be BFFs instantly around here.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Don't you think.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Don't you think you'd welcome that kind of friend friendship here?
Does you see what happens to shake things up?
Speaker 4 (21:57):
Shake things up?
Speaker 5 (21:58):
Why not? Why not?
Speaker 1 (22:00):
That's what that doll did. That family was living its life,
nice little family. Chucky was like, this is boring, Let's
shake things up.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
How did you have the strength to stab those people
all those times?
Speaker 4 (22:12):
Oh? He had sizeable arms.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Chunky for you know, Chucky was a little chunky, little
chunk chunk.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
SpaceX rocket being tested in Texas exploded. The company said
that the Starship experienced a major anomaly.
Speaker 5 (22:26):
Just about eleven o'clock last night.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Well, it was on the test stand at Starbase, the
launch site down in the southern tip of Texas. Nobody
was hurt, no hazards to nearby communities.
Speaker 5 (22:36):
They said.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
It asked people to try not to approach the site
mark the latest in a string of incidents this year
that involved the massive rockets. A short time after the
complete destruction of that rocket, Elon Musk took to Twitter
and said, just to scratch, do we have horror stories?
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Well, we have nice stories, but people like Merlass, not
all of them.
Speaker 10 (23:01):
So here's the best part about my in laws.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
They're both dead and I have no more problems with them.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
What good Lord, I put them the creepy as.
Speaker 11 (23:17):
Well.
Speaker 8 (23:17):
I've been married twice and actually my first husband's mom
embraced my second husband more like her son than she
did her own son. So we had a very blended,
splendid family.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
My parents were effusive with their praise of our choice
of choices of spouses, choices of spouses, and they would
often say to my sisters and I that they would
rather if we ever broke up, we ever got a divorce,
they would take my wife over me, or they would
(23:53):
take my sister's husbands over them.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
Oh that's a they'd being nice.
Speaker 5 (23:59):
Yeah, But I mean, what.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Did your mom think about your first fiance?
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (24:06):
Probably not impressed.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Do you remember anything she said? No, they were very timeful.
It was a feeling you had.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
My brother in law was really the only one who
said anything afterwards.
Speaker 5 (24:20):
What did he say, like, I knew it wasn't going
to work out?
Speaker 4 (24:23):
Really?
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Yeah, he was the only Roger. No, he was the
only one that said anything. Huh.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
Not even your friends, No, No, I.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
Kept it to themselves if they felt that.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
Did he show his math on that or just a
feeling he had?
Speaker 1 (24:38):
He just said it was a feeling, which was great, yeah,
because it worked out well. And then they meet your
wife at the time, your girlfriend, and they're like, oh,
thank god.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Right, he clearly has learned his He's learned from his
mistakes and Shannon.
Speaker 11 (24:58):
In my first marriage, my mother in law and father
in law were amazing. I just loved them to death.
And the second marriage, my father in law was awesome.
My mother in law was a nightmare. They she had
a weird relationship with her son or he with her.
And then my older brother married someone that I didn't
like the first time I met her and I never
(25:18):
did they weren't even dating and I never did like her.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
What do you think it's like? What is the most
challenging in law relationship? Is it.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
A mother getting along with her son's choice of a
wife or or is it a husband getting along with
his wife's mother. What would be the most challenging in
law relationship.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
I don't know. Those two just kind of spring to mind.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Yeah, because like I said earlier, it's just that's the
kind of that's the old adage, the old trope.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
Yeah, yeah, you're right.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
Relationship.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
There is Garius Shon, This is Andrew.
Speaker 9 (26:06):
I cannot stand in laws.
Speaker 10 (26:09):
I can't stand their traditions. It's annoying.
Speaker 9 (26:13):
I hate making small.
Speaker 10 (26:15):
Talk, caring about their side of the family.
Speaker 6 (26:19):
Oh, it's just it's the worst thing ever, you see.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
I understand that because you grow up with your family's traditions,
your family's way of doing holidays and things like that,
the way that your family handles really everything, and then
if you're you know, you're around the other family, it's
kind of like it's different.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
It's different, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
And some people look at difference as bad, you know,
and so just different. They look at it as bad. Oh,
I don't like doing it this way. I don't like
doing it that way when it's just a different way
of doing it. But I can see that. I mean,
when I started spending holidays with my husband's family. I
was like, why are all these people happy? Nobody's drunk, nobody,
(27:02):
where's the liquor? You had?
Speaker 4 (27:03):
No nobodies at each other's throats. They're getting along, they're eating,
there's no complaints about the food. The hell's wrong with
these people?
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Tell us what your in law a horror stories are
or the great stuff.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
No one's thrown a turkey down the stairs.
Speaker 5 (27:20):
Nobody leaves it on the dryer anymore.
Speaker 1 (27:23):

down the stairs.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
We were talking earlier about about in laws and whether
or not you get along with your in laws.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Hi, guys, my brother in law is a piece of work.
He's just like Gary. He's insecure. He's a no at all.
He's got an ego, can't stand to be told when
he's wrong. He's just a complete lame.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
Bye, what did you do today?
Speaker 5 (00:31):
A complete lame?
Speaker 1 (00:33):
I remember his voice. He doesn't like us, but yet
contributes often, consistent, consistently. It is time for swamp watch.
Speaker 5 (00:42):
Politician, which means I'm a cheat and a liar. And
when I'm not kissing babies, I'm stealing that lollipops. Here
we got.
Speaker 6 (00:48):
The real problem is that our leaders are done.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
The other side never quits, so.
Speaker 5 (00:54):
I'm not going anywhere.
Speaker 6 (00:56):
So now you train the.
Speaker 5 (00:58):
Swat, I can imagine what can and be unburdened by
what has been. You know, Americans have always been going
at president. They're not stupid.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
A political plunder is when a politician actually tells the truth.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
Why have the people voting for you were not swamp Watch.
They're all counterad.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Are you living with foot pain? Have you been diagnosed
with plant or fasci iis Visit the Good Feet Store
learn how you can find relief without shot, surgeries or medications.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Swamp Watch brought to you by the Good Feet Store.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
There is mounting pressure here and abroad to have some
sort of a decision from President Trump about what he's
going to do with Iran, and as of just a
short time ago, Caroline Levitt, the White House Press Secretary,
read a statement from the President.
Speaker 7 (01:45):
I have a message directly from the President, and I quote,
based on the fact that there's a substantial chance of
negotiations that may or may not take place with Iran
in the near future. I will make my decision whether
or not to go within the next next two weeks.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
There you go, within two weeks.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
We've seen that window before, the window of ultimatum, of
ultimate ultimatum to use the president's own term, So we
don't know what the plan is. He did have yet
another meeting with the National Security Council in terms of
the briefing of what's going on, and it's only getting
hotter between Iran and Israel. Israel struck a couple of
Iran's nuclear facilities again, and Iran struck in Israeli hospital,
(02:29):
among other things, and hurt about two hundred plus people
in the in Beersheba is where that hospital was, in
the southern part of Israel.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
It's written up saying the president hasn't made up his mind.
I believe the president has made up his mind. What
do you think. I think this is a president that
would have a very hard time resisting sending in the
B two with that massive bomb that only we have
to bust up that nuclear bunker in Iran.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Well, he may have made this decision a long time ago.
There's something going on between he and Tulca Gabbard right
now as well. She's the Director of National Intelligence and
testified before Congress just a short time ago that according
to the intelligence community, Iran doesn't have a nuclear capability
and that the Ayatola has not given them the green
(03:18):
light to you.
Speaker 8 (03:19):
IC continues to assess that Iran is not building a
nuclear weapon and Supreme Leader Kameni has not authorized the
nuclear weapons program that he suspended in two thousand and three.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Now, but she's a Russia for lack of a better term.
She likes Russia, she has ties to Russia. It's well documented.
Russia doesn't want the United States to get involved with
Iran directly like this.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
But so she's you're saying she's lying.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
I don't know, she's spinning it.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
She's certainly spinning it to create some sort of feeling
that Iran doesn't have what everybody fears.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Well, but this brings up an issue that came up
during the first Trump administration, and who's he then getting
his intelligence from? If she's the driver of se Gabbard,
if she's in charge of seventeen intelligence agencies and is
the mouthpiece for them to the president, who's he getting
his information from?
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Because he says he doesn't care what she says.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Of course he doesn't. He believes that they are going
there is a gift to Putin. She's there to keep
things nice and copasetic with Putin and Trump. She's there
to be a mouthpiece for Russia. There's just there's no
way that she is true to her title.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
But if this, if this plays out this way, if
this continues to go down the road of her saying
that there is no nuclear program in Iran and him
saying there is she's not going to last in that job.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
If there was no program in Iran, then everyone is
just off their ass. All the intelligence that we have
not named Tulsi Gabbard is wrong.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
Get out of here. I mean not you.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Wow, but I think she's nutcase. Do you have another
ic coffee today or something I did? I did, I
made it at home.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Did you see the ongoing speaking of the fracturing of
political parties going after I'm asking, I'm asked, Sorry, Tucker Carlson,
going after Ted Cruz and vice versa.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
I missed it thinking about your allegation and the Prime
Minister of Israel's allegation that.
Speaker 6 (05:26):
Killing terrorists is a good thing. Killing people are trying
to murder Americans is a good thing because if you're
America first, you want to protect Americans. So taking out
killing O'samovan Laden was a fantastic.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
But you don't believe that they're trying to murder Trump?
Or yes, yes, but why aren't you calling for military
action against Tehran right now?
Speaker 6 (05:44):
Because they're not very effective in terms of hit men.
Their hitmen are not very effective.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
I do think this was one of the most contentious
interviews I've seen between two Republicans in name or at
least the voting registration in a very long time.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Tucker Carlson also asked Ted Cruz do you know how
many people live in Iran? And Ted Cruz is like,
I have no idea, And then Tucker Carlson, very smugly
and calmly ninety two million.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
Like that's a gotcha moment.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Well, because he says, you want to do away with
the Iranian country, but don't have an idea of how
many people could potentially be killed with it, And Ted.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
Cruse like, now, I'm not trying to kill the country.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I'm trying to get rid of the awful politicians and
leaders that have turned that country into an absolute toilet bowl.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
It was, it was very well.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Where is Tucker Carlson these days on Trump and everything
that's going on.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
I haven't paid attention.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
They do not agree?
Speaker 4 (06:45):
They do, that's for sure? Is that because he is like, why.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
Listen the whole thing about Telsea Gabberby.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
Is it an America first type thing?
Speaker 5 (06:56):
Or well?
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Yeah, like if the President campaigned on keeping us out
of getting out of and keeping us out of foreign wars,
this would go against that promise right?
Speaker 4 (07:06):
Is he a Russia apologist?
Speaker 1 (07:09):
He has been very cozy with Vladimir poop Okay, so
he and Tulsi are all in bed with Putin. I
don't know about Tulsi, but Tucker has definitely been a
little bit more of a soft shoe with Vladimir Putin
than others have.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
A soft shoe soft shoes. Yeah, he's a good buffer shoes,
a good buffer.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
What does that even mean? Soft shoe?
Speaker 5 (07:32):
I'm wearing soft shoes right now, are you? Yeah? Those
aren't just rubber.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
You really phoned it in for a Thursday. Are you
dealing with something?
Speaker 5 (07:40):
I'm wearing a belt? All right?
Speaker 4 (07:44):
What are we doing? How to say no at work?
There was an article on the Wall Street No that
was good.
Speaker 9 (07:53):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
According to Multiple Sports, the Dodgers are expected to announce
today some sort of a sweeping initiative to assist migrant
communities impacted by the recent federal immigration enforcements that have
been taking place. In fact, there are camera TV cameras
that are placed outside Dodger Stadium covering this story that
have apparently also captured some ice agents or homeland security
(08:23):
investigators in the parking lot at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
There is a reason why office space has such a
cult following, and it's because, if you've seen the Major
Emotion Picture, the character, the lead character in it, just
decides he doesn't want.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
To do stuff at work anymore. He's he's a guy,
he's a droll.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
He works for a data company, and it's all very
you know, exactly what you would expect from somebody who
inputs data nine to five kind of thing. He's got
three different bosses, they ask for the same thing. There's
a lot of redundancy, and he's like, you know what,
I'm just not going to do it anymore. And when
you're watching the movie, you feel almost like a weightlifted
(09:07):
from your own shoulders. It's like, ah, that's refreshing. Well,
there was an article in the Wall Street Journal that
kind of told you.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
How to do that, how to say no at work,
Just no, no, I'm not going to do that.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Well, let's go back to why it's hard to say no.
A lot of people are concerned that if you say no,
you might damage the relationship with whoever's asking you to
do something.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Well, in a lot of jobs, if you say no,
there will be people behind you that will say yes,
and then they will get the job in the paycheck
and your sol I come from a school of thought
of you allow it to everything. No, you say yes
to everything. Oh, especially in radio. Oh can you work
Christmas morning? Absolutely?
Speaker 4 (09:56):
I can.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
You said yes to everything to get on the air.
Can you work weak ans, yes, I can. Can you
work nights? Yes I can? Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
it's how you Can you work for free?
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Yes I can. I mean we all did that.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
While you're here. Could you take the garbage out?
Speaker 4 (10:10):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure I can. Absolutely.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
I'll be the best garbage taker out or you've ever seen.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
And that's what you have to do in some jobs.
But I guess there comes a time when things become
a little bit unnecessary, like company dinners, unnecessary meetings, saying
yes to being available when you're on vacation or at home,
(10:36):
things like that. I guess when you're not, when you're
not twenty two trying to make it in radio, it's
okay to say no once in a while.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Every once in a while there is a I said that.
You know, there's a perception that if you say no,
you're going to ruin a relationship that you have with
your coworker or supervisor, whatever.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
But the work that was done by this columnist.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Talking to a bunch of different people, employment coaches, workplace advisors,
they've said, people would actually perceive you as more decisive
and purpose driven if you say no, if you say
no the right way, and people much rather have you
say no upfront than to say yes and realize maybe
you've bit off more than you can chew, or you
(11:21):
can't come through with the project, or your TPS reports
are late even though you said you would be able
to do them on This.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Is like when they said yes to inviting Dayton to
training camp for DCC, knowing that she was probably going to.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
Get a no.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Eventually, she started watching that Why don't you just say
no right away? It's three hours of my life yesterday
I put three hours. Yeah, I loved every moment your
couch meanwhile, was begging for forgiveness. That was hurtful, unnecessarily, Yes.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
You know, I'd rather say no right away then I'd
be stuck in that What would you say you do here?
Speaker 4 (12:04):
Oh? Such a good movie?
Speaker 2 (12:05):
They said, choose your words when you do refuse something,
you have to frame your response with empowered language. For instance,
the I don't signals your no stems from who you
are and the rules that you have set for yourself.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
I can't feels weak just coming out of your mouth.
I can't I've got this, or I'm so overwhelmed. Yeah,
it's so much awful. That's so untrue. Cognitive dissonance is
what you're hearing when you say I can't.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
As opposed to I don't do more than I or
I don't take on more than I know I can.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
Do something like that. I'll have to work it out.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
When have you been asked to do something that you've
wanted to say no, but you've said yes?
Speaker 9 (12:48):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Oh, your face right now is smiling, and that is
always a troubling sign.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
Is because I smiled immediately.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Uh, It's been a long time since I've been asked
to do something I didn't want to.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
Oh, I know what it is, but.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
I always do it. That's the thing.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Yeah, I know, I mean I know because that's who
you are well, and it's good.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
It's not just me and my attitude. There's a lot
of people.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
There's other people that work here exactly.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
And if I do something, I want to be able
to do it to help other people.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
You're also, your character is not one that shies away
from any work, no matter what it is, even if
you don't want to do it, even if I don't
want to do it or I think it's pointless. In
some case, it's a part of your fiber. It's not
a weakness. So with that said, do you think you
could come.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
I don't.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
I can't.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
I don't bite off more than I could.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
There was a story about a woman who runs a
legal brothel, and this was in Newsweek. The headline is,
I run a legal brothel. Here's what it's taught me
about people's fantasies. Okay, now I saw this this morning
and I thought, well, that might be fun to talk about.
And I was like, it probably won't be It'll probably
be super gross, and I don't need to know all
(14:15):
the corners of people's minds and things like that.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
But then I aired on the side of I'm very curious.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
I'm very curious, speaking of which, we're taking your talkbacks
on your relationships within laws, good bad, awful.
Speaker 10 (14:30):
Hearing shadows of course, I king, Yes, my ex mother
in law was a nightmare after the fact. She was
a nice person when I worked with her. She sets
me up with a blind aid with her daughter. Fast
forward a couple of years. We had a relationship, a
horrible marriage, and a divorce. Oh because of my ex
(14:53):
mother in law getting involved.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
Ever again, so nasty. I don't.
Speaker 9 (15:03):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
There was an article in Newsweek about a woman who
runs a legal brothel, and here's how it begins.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
It's just kind of proof that.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
The spectrum of what people are into fantasy, sexually, whatever
is a large spectrum. As I mentioned, here is how
it begins. He arrived merely with a toolbox, a jumpsuit
and an urgent look on his face. He nodded blightly
to the receptionists, checked in with the same quiet formality
(15:43):
someone might use at a dentist's office, and then went
upstairs in the brothel. For the next hour, he repaired
the sink, adjusted the shower head, ran tests on the toilet.
He had his own set of tools. The sex worker
he had booked played along, letting him go about his
performative plumbing uninterrupted. When time was up, he changed out
(16:05):
of the jumpsuit back into his normal clothes, thanked her
for a wonderful evening, and walked out the door with
the calm satisfaction of a man who had just fulfilled
a deep need. Okay, what that's what he's into? How
is that considered sexual? Because for him, for him, it
(16:27):
is for him doing plumbing tasks gets him to that location,
gets him there. We don't know if that's what happened, right,
I mean, we don't know if there was that action
we do with him, but it certainly seems like doing
(16:49):
that in front of a woman gave him the satisfaction
that he was seeking.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
She says.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
To some this may sound bizarre or laughable, maybe just
playing sad, but she said, as the manager of a
legal brothel, this was just another Tuesday. Over the past
nine years that she has worked there, she says she's
seen about every expression of sexuality you can imagine and
some you cannot imagine. She said, from classic role plays
(17:20):
surrounding one's age or pets, to the strangely specific like
this one is like men being aroused by women playing
with toy cars or eating pizza. So matchbox cars are
(17:41):
a thing Okay, I have a brother. He loves max
Car matchbox cars. Sure, I'll still get him one from
here and again when I see him at the grocery store.
I don't think as much as he loves matchbox car
and listen.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
I don't know what he's in do with his girlfriend,
but I don't think it entails her playing with a
matchbox car.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
No. This woman also says.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
Oddly, he's also a plumber, and.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
Maybe there is some connection there.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Uh, there's one guy who couldn't get aroused unless the
woman he had booked red car manuals to him out loud.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
Same dude that we're talking about.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
My brother loves car manuals or loves reybuilding transmissions and
the like.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
The guy who paid for an hour simply to sit
quietly while the woman played with her hair and watched cartoons.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
My brother also loves cartoons.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
Is this dude?
Speaker 1 (18:41):
I need to make a phone call. I don't you
know what he should live his life? If this is
based on him, that's cool, Like whatever, be happy.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
In some times, she says that she's seen people break
down crying halfway through.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
That's a problem if you're crying during any sort of
sexual experience. I think that's definitely something to work on
with a trained professional.
Speaker 5 (19:07):
Well, that's maybe why they're doing it.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Oh no, I mean like a trained head, like a
neuro profession to start somewhere.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
Yeah, I guess one of them.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Said that they booked time just to be insulted, because
that's what helped them release control. She says, in each
of these cases, the brothel she works then it works in,
is not a place of debauchery. It's a stage where
people try on versions of themselves that the outside world
(19:39):
simply will not allow.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
Hmmm.

fine with that. She'd be like, Oh, that's what you're right, Like,
that's not.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
A big ask.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
You wouldn't have to go to a brothel and pay
someone for that, Like she would do.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
That maybe, yeah, but there would be some follow up.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
There'd be some questions, yeah, maybe.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Like where Are you gonna get that matchbox cars the
Vaughn's Okay, yeah, because I'm not taking it out of
my son's room.
Speaker 1 (20:21):

your own brother.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
I know I'm gonna have to catch up with him.
Make a call, see how things are going up there.
Speaker 2 (20:37):

Do they do they fit the stereotype? We'll talk about
it when we come back.

Speaker 5 (20:53):
Much depends?

A chucky doll.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Oh this is he left the chucky doll in the
car or something like that.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
She's suing Trust Bank, saying she suffers from a fear
of dolls, a phobia, and that she was traumatized into
treatment because of this. She claims the supervisor left the
chucky doll on her desk. That doll is very creepy. However,
if I came to work and there was a Chucky
(21:37):
doll sitting on my desk, I'd be like, let's go.
Let's go, Chucky. You and me will burn the whole
place down right or die. Let's go. Like Chuckie and
I would be BFFs instantly around here.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Don't you think.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Don't you think you'd welcome that kind of friend friendship here?
Does you see what happens to shake things up?
Speaker 4 (21:57):
Shake things up?
Speaker 5 (21:58):
Why not? Why not?
Speaker 1 (22:00):
That's what that doll did. That family was living its life,
nice little family. Chucky was like, this is boring, Let's
shake things up.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
How did you have the strength to stab those people
all those times?
Speaker 4 (22:12):
Oh? He had sizeable arms.

Chunky for you know, Chucky was a little chunky, little
chunk chunk.

SpaceX rocket being tested in Texas exploded. The company said
that the Starship experienced a major anomaly.
Speaker 5 (22:26):
Just about eleven o'clock last night.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Well, it was on the test stand at Starbase, the
launch site down in the southern tip of Texas. Nobody
was hurt, no hazards to nearby communities.
Speaker 5 (22:36):
They said.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
It asked people to try not to approach the site
mark the latest in a string of incidents this year
that involved the massive rockets. A short time after the
complete destruction of that rocket, Elon Musk took to Twitter
and said, just to scratch, do we have horror stories?
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Well, we have nice stories, but people like Merlass, not
all of them.
Speaker 10 (23:01):
So here's the best part about my in laws.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
They're both dead and I have no more problems with them.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
What good Lord, I put them the creepy as.
Speaker 11 (23:17):
Well.
Speaker 8 (23:17):
I've been married twice and actually my first husband's mom
embraced my second husband more like her son than she
did her own son. So we had a very blended,
splendid family.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
My parents were effusive with their praise of our choice
of choices of spouses, choices of spouses, and they would
often say to my sisters and I that they would
rather if we ever broke up, we ever got a divorce,
they would take my wife over me, or they would
(23:53):
take my sister's husbands over them.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
Oh that's a they'd being nice.
Speaker 5 (23:59):
Yeah, But I mean, what.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Did your mom think about your first fiance?
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (24:06):
Probably not impressed.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Do you remember anything she said? No, they were very timeful.
It was a feeling you had.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
My brother in law was really the only one who
said anything afterwards.
Speaker 5 (24:20):
What did he say, like, I knew it wasn't going
to work out?
Speaker 4 (24:23):
Really?
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Yeah, he was the only Roger. No, he was the
only one that said anything. Huh.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
Not even your friends, No, No, I.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
Kept it to themselves if they felt that.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
Did he show his math on that or just a
feeling he had?
Speaker 1 (24:38):
He just said it was a feeling, which was great, yeah,
because it worked out well. And then they meet your
wife at the time, your girlfriend, and they're like, oh,
thank god.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Right, he clearly has learned his He's learned from his
mistakes and Shannon.
Speaker 11 (24:58):
In my first marriage, my mother in law and father
in law were amazing. I just loved them to death.
And the second marriage, my father in law was awesome.
My mother in law was a nightmare. They she had
a weird relationship with her son or he with her.
And then my older brother married someone that I didn't
like the first time I met her and I never
(25:18):
did they weren't even dating and I never did like her.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
What do you think it's like? What is the most
challenging in law relationship? Is it.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
A mother getting along with her son's choice of a
wife or or is it a husband getting along with
his wife's mother. What would be the most challenging in
law relationship.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
I don't know. Those two just kind of spring to mind.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Yeah, because like I said earlier, it's just that's the
kind of that's the old adage, the old trope.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
Yeah, yeah, you're right.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
Relationship.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
There is Garius Shon, This is Andrew.
Speaker 9 (26:06):
I cannot stand in laws.
Speaker 10 (26:09):
I can't stand their traditions. It's annoying.
Speaker 9 (26:13):
I hate making small.
Speaker 10 (26:15):
Talk, caring about their side of the family.
Speaker 6 (26:19):
Oh, it's just it's the worst thing ever, you see.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
I understand that because you grow up with your family's traditions,
your family's way of doing holidays and things like that,
the way that your family handles really everything, and then
if you're you know, you're around the other family, it's
kind of like it's different.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
It's different, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
And some people look at difference as bad, you know,
and so just different. They look at it as bad. Oh,
I don't like doing it this way. I don't like
doing it that way when it's just a different way
of doing it. But I can see that. I mean,
when I started spending holidays with my husband's family. I
was like, why are all these people happy? Nobody's drunk, nobody,
(27:02):
where's the liquor? You had?
Speaker 4 (27:03):
No nobodies at each other's throats. They're getting along, they're eating,
there's no complaints about the food. The hell's wrong with
these people?
Speaker 2 (27:13):
