Plus, they've got trending stories, fun games and more that is sure to make you laugh. Real People, Real Funny. Join us!
Shawn had a great trip to San Diego for Spring Break with the boys... except for the undercooked (or uncooked) steak. Aimee's friend is in the group chat, but doesn't read it and got mad that she didn't get a call about going out to dinner. Who is to blame? At what age should a kid know how to tie their shoes? Shawn's kids are 6 and 8 and he's decided the time is now. The kids are unpleased.
Aimee was getting her taxes done when a kid in the waiting room was playing a fart-sound game on his tablet. The mom asked him to lower it down once... twice... and eventually the mom HAD IT. But not enough to take it away from him. Should she have? Shawn met someone with a terrible breakup story yesterday... and the stories we heard from listeners were even worse!
Shawn had planned the perfect Spring Break with the boys to his happy place, and did it three months ago! And.... he has to cancel because the weather is going to suck. What should he do instead? Some people use Google Calendar or whatever is in their phone, but for people like Aimee, they need to write EVERYTHING down. Where are you with this? Yet another casino buffet is closing in Las Vegas and we are pretty convinced they are going extinct. And we hate it.
A question going around Aimee's house is an interesting one. If one sock gets a hole in it... do you throw out the other? Aimee does, but her husband won't. Shawn's oldest got his lower braces in yesterday. Issue is Shawn is certain they were only supposed to do uppers. Did he get away with something? Should he tell someone? Plus, today marks the 5 year anniversary of the United States losing their mind at the start of COVID.
In a huge shock, Southwest Airlines announced they are stopping their Bags Fly Free promotion, getting in line with pretty much every other airline. What could other companies do to us that would make us go from loving them to hating them? Aimee feels bad for high schoolers and all the pressure they have on them to go viral with asking people to prom, to dance, to be their Valentine's and more... Plus Shawn gives an update on the neighborhood cat that no one knows but everyone loves....
We are upset about the lost hour of sleep. Sure, we feel fine. We just feel betrayed. The act of changing the clock is a chore we delay and delay. But why? There are some chores we complain about SO LOUDLY, but are so easy to do. Research shows that more attractive people make more money than the normies. We talk about the awkwardness of asking for a raise and how it worked out for us. Plus Aimee's son is turning 6 and it is time to prepare for the party and the financial implications that come ...
Shawn visited a Las Vegas institution for the first time since moving here in 2006. What was it?! Aimee's youngest son is confused. He thinks he is dating his older brother's girlfriend, and when Aimee broke the news to him... he isn't convinced he isn't. Shawn stumbled across a sweet kitty in his front yard that's been there for a couple days and now he's taken it in, sort of. Was it a big mistake?!
Aimee's oldest had a cup of apple sauce thrown at his back in school, and she is asking - for a friend - if it would be OK if a student in a similar situation were to punch that kid in the face. The house across from Shawn is for sale and he's been Zillow stalking what it looks like inside... which only reminded him of all the features in Las Vegas homes that drive him nuts. Turns out he is not alone. Plus in preparation for next week's W.I.N.O.S. event with Aimee at Magic Mike Live, MML emcee C...
Shawn was reading to kids for Nevada Reading Week and was hit with a big topic from one of the kids had Shawn having to shift to a counselor. Aimee's family think she is weird for not wearing a shirt under her sweatshirt. Turns out this is a very battle of the sexes sort of topic. Today marks the beginning of Lent. Are you giving up anything? Aimee is a Catholic but... she isn't having it.
Aimee was hit on by a homeless guy in the parking lot of the station. So when he asked if she had a boyfriend... why would she say yes? She's married. Today is Mardi Gras and... we hate to say it but we don't care. We have never celebrated, although we are sure we'd like it. What other holidays do you tend to ignore? Aimee's sister rents a home that keeps stabbing her in the back. Why does she have to pay to get things repaired?! It's a rental!
Shawn is finally feeling better and took a quick trip to Florida to see some of his family. A quick trip to Ancestry.com started a conversation that makes Shawn wonder why his former DNA test doesn't add up to theirs. Uh oh. Aimee went to a kid's birthday party and witnessed a family crash the party, steal the candy, eat the cake and TRY to steal a gift. WHOA. Plus, Shawn's cousin has a new boyfriend and Shawn got to meet him. But he already knew a lot about him after the deep Google search he d...
Aimee's youngest son started saying "MOO!" when he was trying to boo someone. That's adorable and frankly none of us are any better. We all say things wrong. How do you expect us to learn a new language when we haven't figured out our own language?! Plus why is it half the time you're with the doctor, you're telling them what you have versus the other way around?!
Aimee's friend nearly had her home burn to the ground because of a dryer fire. Turns out they are more common than you think. Shawn is really butt hurt about the closure of Jo-Ann Fabrics despite the fact he hasn't knitted a thing in his life. He's willing to give up other stores to save it. Plus, have you been noticing a lot of animals in the streets lately. Aimee has seen a ton in just the last day and it is time these animals wise up.
Centennial High School football is gearing up for their big ring ceremony and Aimee and the crew have been working on making it special. Only one problem - they might not have the rings for it because Jostens lied about the delivery window. Will they screw the team out of a special moment? Shawn saw the most amazing - and rare - thing at dinner last night. What did he see and do you think it is weird because Aimee doesn't. Aimee is getting fugazi toll road texts and it turns out pretty much ever...
A kid in Aimee's son Romie's kindergarten class actually SNIPPED A BIT OF HIS HAIR OFF. Um, what do you do, because murder is frowned upon. Shawn has been seeing these "Buffalo Wild Wings Go" locations popping up around him... what are some other stores we need smaller, faster versions of? We posed the question to our listeners about the words we commonly misspell... and it turns out there is a lot of them.
Sammi texted Shawn during the show and told him he needs to live to 115 so he can live as long as an online calculator says she'll live. He used it as an opportunity to guilt her to go hiking. Aimee brought her son back to the DMV again to get him on the road. Issue is, between the multiple visits to the worst place on the earth to the cost of insurance... is it even worth it? Shawn's son once again needs glasses and eye drops and even an eye patch according to his eye doctor. Except Colin reads...
Aimee showed up today... but her voice decided to stay home. She met Scottie Pippen over the weekend and while that was cool, Scottie got the wrong sense of her life. Shawn had to step in a little with kids that aren't his. Eventually there comes a point where you've got to step in, but what point is it when you're allowed to parent other people's kids? Plus, Aimee ended up choosing the correct winner for the Super Bowl, even though it killed her to do it.
Super Bowl Sunday is here and our resident degenerate, sales guy Mike, runs through the prop bets he says should hit. Shawn celebrated a very special anniversary yesterday... but it isn't what you think.
A listener of the show got vibes that Shawn was a bit stressed lately and decided to DM him to hopefully encourage him. Thankfully, her vibes were off. Sorta. Aimee's son, a sophomore in high school, was just told he needs to retake a 6th grade class or he can't graduate. Turns out this happens a lot. Plus, do you think you are smarter than the average American?
Why is it when a business screws up and they overcharge you, it happens immediately, but the refund takes 3-5 business days! Make it make sense. Shawn had a talk about the movie Wall-E with his son and... he traumatized him. Super Bowl is sneaking up on us and if you wanted to make a last second, cheapest trip to the game, you probably can't afford it.
Shawn's son was asking about smoking and so Shawn went into the schpeel. The way his son is learning smoking is bad is WAY different than the way Shawn's mom taught him. Plus there is a missing dog in Summerlin and Aimee feels personally connected to the story. And it turns out the list of "Most Attractive Professions" line up pretty well with the lost of "Professions Most Likely To Cheat".
It was a crappy weekend for Shawn, and a crappier one for Aimee's son. And we mean that literally. Shawn is convinced his fiancé Sammi is one of the most persuasive people on the planet. Wait until you hear what she did just this week. We are pretty much sick of social media at this point and we wish MySpace was back.
Remember the candy from when you were a kid? Where are the favorites? Whether they are discontinued or just hard to find... what do you miss the most? Aimee misses bummin' candy cigs. Shawn has been having trouble sleeping the past couple nights, and he thinks he knows why. Why is it that Super Bowl ads just don't feel special anymore?
Shawn's 8 year old son Colin started asking questions about race, so Shawn had to have a serious talk with him. Did he do a good job? Most of the songs we play are inappropriate, and the other ones we could play are written by inappropriate people. What to do, what to do. Aimee was introduced to the idea of "Blessing Bags" and we love the idea so much, we are thinking about doing it.
Aimee is stuck doing a family project with her kindergartener and... its about Tundra Swans? What the hell is that?! Shawn's youngest son said he "hated" his dad within earshot of him and he's heartbroken and a little pissed about it. Red onions. Why the hell are they called red?! Plus how does your partner make you better?
We got a chance to talk to Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, usually unlovingly known as Speidi. But since the California Wildfires took their house, the internet has been giving them their flowers. After getting a chance to talk to them, so are we. Shawn's son got kicked square in the balls at school and Shawn's not pleased. There are certain foods that Aimee won't allow inside her house. What foods? Why?
Aimee was returning some Amazon stuff at Kohl's and witnessed a married guy flirting with someone in line. Listen to the story. Is that cheating? Bojangles is open in Las Vegas and the line is nuts. What is the next thing we don't have that should come here? After watching Mark Zuckerberg at the Inauguration, we think we have nailed who he looks like. What is the deal with the stomach bug going around with the kids this season?
A new convenience store opened in Aimee's hometown, and the sign is spelled so badly, it is the talk of the town. We heard that our co-workers were doing a trust fall exercise earlier this week. This is a) hilarious and b) we don't know if we'd trust any of our co-workers to catch us. We hear of a story about a grandmother that sent her grandkid on the wrong bus, headed to the wrong school.
Shawn's fiance Sammi decided to buy some cheap wedding dresses and try them on for Shawn and his boys. Needless to say, one of the dresses did not impress his oldest son. FOX 5's John Huck has been doing amazing work covering the stories behind the story in the California Wildfires. He joins us to talk about the aftermath and the road that follows for those who have had their lives turned upside down. Aimee picked up a new addiction over the holiday break: an app. Now she wants us all to be bloc...
Aimee had to bring her son to the DMV to get his picture for his permit. She thought she had an appointment, except she didn't. Queue the anger. We talk with Las Vegas native, UNLV grad and ABC7 Bay Area reporter Zach Fuentes who spent the past several days covering the California wildfires. He lets us in on the scenes he witnessed while he was down there, and the need in SoCal today and for months to come. Aimee really wants to do jury duty. Her friend got invited to grand jury duty and, it tur...
