Friend's Biggest Stories of the Day.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Jimmy Kimmelive return to ABC on Tuesday, attracting six point
three million viewers, which is three times more than the
average episode and the most watched regularly scheduled episode ever.
Despite being unavailable in twenty three percent of US households
due to preemptions by Next Star and Sinclair, the episode
achieved a point eighty seven rating, the highest since March
(00:23):
of twenty twenty five, which you knew was going to happen,
so we made a whole big.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Deal out of it.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
And then he comes back and then everyone's watching to
see what he said. Come on, I'm actually surprised if
was that high with with that many households not being
able to watch this show, But I don't know if
they were able to stream it and that counted or what.
A lucky guy in Missouri who won half of the
nearly one point eight billion dollar powerball jackpot has come
forward to claim his prize. He held one of only
(00:51):
two tickets that matched all the numbers in the September
sixth drawing the second largest lottery jackpot in US history.
The guy, who the lottery did not identify, opted for
a one time payment of four hundred and ten million
dollars before taxes. Now, this doesn't it just doesn't sound
like enough money. So you won half of one point
eight billion dollars. So you won what is that nine
(01:13):
hundred million dollars?
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Right?
Speaker 2 (01:15):
You're only getting four hundred and ten and then you're
paying taxes on that, So my nine hundred million becomes
like two hundred and fifty million dollars.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Where are all the other millions?
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Right?
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Yeah, I don't like this. That doesn't make.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Sense to me. Like, okay, so you have to pay tax,
but where so then half tax?
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Where does all that? Right?
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Like half of the nine hundred So then okay, so
I get four to fifty. Well that's still not I mean,
that's you know a lot of money I paid. But yeah,
that's that's I guess it's federal then stay, I don't know. Well.
Accepting the massive prize, he described himself as a homebody
and said he's looking forward to spending quality time with
his wife. The perfect day is sitting at home doing
what I do, which is relaxing.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
That is a perfect day.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Referring to his wife, he joked that she's going to
drag me out of town now. The guy purchased a
winning ticket at a gas station in Saint Louis. The
other winning ticket was sold at a convenience store in Fredericksburg, Texas.
And we have not heard from that person yet. Who
will not pay dat in come tax? I don't think
because they don't have it there. So that'd be one
reason to live in Texas. I guess President Trump. Kiki
(02:15):
is expected to sign the TikTok deal today to facilitate
TikTok sale from the Chinese company by Dance to American investors.
Under the agreement, TikTok's US operations would be run by
a new joint venture company, with bike Dance holding less
than twenty percent of the stock. The structure complies with
a twenty twenty four bipartisan law requiring TikTok sale to
(02:36):
US based owners to be sold to US based owners
or face of band American users. Data will be stored
in the US and overseen by Oracle, while the platform's
algorithm will be retrained and monitored to prevent outside manipulation.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
All of that what just you know what you want?
Speaker 2 (02:54):
TikTok and visa the terms okay, all right, what's your problem?
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Is TikTok aware of this deal?
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Right?
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Is?
Speaker 2 (02:59):
They want to from by dance like imp is signing it,
but has anyone signed it on the other side yet?
No word for I know we like with ourselves and
like you know, no, no, no, we're on that.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
But that doesn't agree. That's not important.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
I sell things all the time that aren't mind. What
are you talking to you about it? I saw a crime today,
sold it some guy. I don't know whose it was,
And what do you mean? It is totally normal?
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Just me just be happy that maybe you get to
keep your TikTok okay, because I know it was a
hard time for you, I know. But once we get
our hands on algorithms, yes, it doesn't hit the same.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
So I'm a little nervous about that.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
I remember when I used to get more than seven
likes on my Instagram. But that was cool, you know,
like a picture of me saving a baby from the
river gets seven likes. Now I'm like, wait a minute,
that was at least a fifty like post, come on,
baby was saved. This is crazy Halloween season. It's upon us.
Where what uh thirty seven days away or something from Halloween,
(03:54):
and the spending is expected to exceed thirteen billion dollars
this year.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Where's all this money? Halleen, thank you? She loves Halloween.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
I went home Goods like three times a week looking
at their newest restock on Halloween decor items.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Yeah, I'm contributing to that billion. Well, like we do
all these stories.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Everybody's broke, but somehow we're spending thirteen percent more year
overy year on Halloween. The average shoppers projected to spend
one hundred and fourteen dollars in the Halloween, which is
eleven dollars up from last year. Eighty percent of shoppers
anticipate prices will creep up due to the tar offf
Seventy three percent of those surveyed still planned to partake
in holiday activities. That didn't stop me. The tariffs didn't
stop me from buying that skeleton DJ that has bluetooth
(04:33):
on it just for me though, because you know, no
one comes to my house for Halloween, but it is
me in there.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
I just watch it. I just play yacht rock and
watch it spin. Yeah. No, I mean I needed those
Halloween themed mushrooms I bought yesterday, like I needed them
for my apartment mushrooms. Yeah, they're mushrooms, like their psychedelic mushrooms. No, no, no, no,
like decorations. Yeah, Halloween. Yeah, they're like colored, they're like orange,
they're Halloween Like, what does a mushroom have to do
(04:59):
with Halloween? Well, well they're out with the Halloween decor
and they're Halloween colors and they're spooky mushrooms. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Anyway, four point three billion dollars on costumes, four point
two billion on decorations, three point nine billion on candy,
which is insane, and a federal judge has tossed out
a lawsuit. I wish this was the biggest problem that
I had in my life. It's against Hershey, which alleged
that the company misled customers with its Reeses Halloween themed candies.
(05:28):
The plaintiffs claimed that the product packaging depicted jack O
lanterns and ghosts with carved faces and mushrooms, but the
actual candies there are no mushrooms. The actual candies were featureless. However,
US History Judge Judge Damien ruled that the plaintiffs failed
to demonstrate any concrete economic harm, noting that the candies
(05:48):
were still consumable and tasted as expected. So they were
mad that it set Halloween on the middle packaging. But
then you open it just looked like a normal Reese's whatever.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Oh like it wasn't in the shape. It wasn't I
guess it wasn't in It wasn't in the shape. No, No,
they're mad.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
They're mad because it didn't look enough like a like
a Jacko lantern for that or like at all.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Like they're very mad about it.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Okay, yeah, I don't think it would matter.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
I think I would.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
I would consume it just the same, top it in
my mouth and enjoy it in one bite, in any shape.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
I will eat that.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Yes, Hershey's had included disclaimers on the packaging, indicating that
the designs were artistic renderings and not actual representations of
the candies. Can you imagine being a lawyer at Hershey's
and they gotta they send you all this candy and
you're like, you gotta put something on there. It says
like if it melts, like it won't look the same
or whatever. And you're a lawyer, you w's a law
school for this, and you're like, you know, coming up
(06:39):
with stuff to put on there so that people don't
ensue you because their jacko lantern is like, you know,
half like I don't know half, the face doesn't look right.
Despite the dismissal of the plaintive's attorney plans to amend
and refile, so they're.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Gonna do this again.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
They're gonna sue again because my I don't remember the
last time I looked to see if there was any
sort of I don't really look at my food anymore.
I just put it in my mouth, so I don't
I know. This is the least upsetting thing to me.
It's National Lobsterday and a national case of D A
day that's a good day.
