GAS WEEKEND FIX: Your Celebrity Crush Says a Lot… Unfortunately
5/31/2025
Gary and Shannon dive into their weekend rituals—Gary's includes a chamomile Chai with a splash of Earl Grey matcha—and then take a nostalgic (and hilarious) detour into the world of celebrity crushes.
From high school cheerleaders to Hollywood heartthrobs, they reflect on their own past obsessions—Josh Hartnett for Shannon, and a head-scratching Shelley Hack pick from Gary (Google her, we’ll wait). They roast outdated “hot people” lists, get real about what actually makes someone attractive, and Gary drops a painfully awkward story about telling his wife he loved her.
