Here’s What You Missed On Aimee+Shawn This Week

By Shawn Tempesta
Aimee+Shawn, weekday mornings from 6-10am on 102.7 VGS.

Another week is in the books for Aimee+Shawn, and the final week of work for Shawn has arrived! Yes, after working straight through for six months, Shawn can finally take vacation. Aimee has you all next week (she took a ton of vacation already!)

The week started with Aimee absent. A quick sickness (a quickness?) flew through the Thomas household, so Sammi stood in. We learned she already knows everything she is getting for the holidays… because she peeked at her own Amazon wish list. Bad Sammi, bad.

Speaking of buying things, she recently got suckered into buying a remedy she saw on TikTok that, if she has parasites in her stomach, will make them come out to play. The pictures of the supposed aftermath for some people are gross… but she bought it. Weird.

Shawn’s sons have started asking him tough questions. Why are swear words bad? Why do people die? Is Shawn answering the questions correctly? Too direct? Not enough?

Speaking of tough questions with Shawn’s sons… ONE OF THEM has to win the Lock Of The Week! They left Aimee in the dust and were tied in the final week, so a Thursday Night Football tie-break is upon us! Who will win?!

Aimee’s sick and tired of inflation and other factors making her eggs so expensive… so she’s decided she wants to fight inflation… by buying chickens. Hmm. It sounds weird, but the more you think about it, it could work!

This week we stumbled across the Dial-A-Carol Hotline! It’s a number that you can call 24 hours a day and have a real, live person sing you whatever Christmas song your heart desires. We called them once… we called them twice… but three times was the end of the road!

Finally, Shawn recounts being Mike Tyson’s security guard on one fateful New Years Eve night. Yes, it really happened.
