Speaker 1 (00:00):
Show. This is what's trending, right, So I guess Americans
are over Christmas traditions and that's trending today. A third
I want to swap a traditional turkey for a juicy burger.
They've talked to two thousand people about this. Yes, thirty
one percent are bored with the usual Christmas customs and
would like to see more unusual alternatives during the lead

(00:21):
up to the big day, Pizza, tacos, chinese takeout mentioned
is preferred options over the traditional turkey. Forty seven percent
would rather spend the whole day in their pajamas rather
than getting dressed up. Do people do that? People get dressed.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
Up for two Yeah?

Speaker 3 (00:37):
If you got to go to the other family members' homes,
you know.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
Ye're not in the morning.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (00:42):
We try to lounge around as long as possible, but
at some point you gotta wash.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
Your But I think we ever got a dressed up.
I think we washed our buds. I only got on Christmas.
I'm not here.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Yeah, no one's going on here. Christmas, perfect holiday.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
Why not celebrate? I don't know. Christmas doesn't do it
for me. No, I'm like the least I've gotten plenty
of action on Christmas and your family hold on one
of the time children. No, not with my family. I'm
not decimous. Okay, are you with them? No? I can

(01:23):
think of many examples where like I'm obviously back home.
Alcohol is being served people I used to dater back home,
you know, like old high school girlfriends, like, what are
you doing? Come over? See the family. They'd love to
see you. They come over and before long, you know,
it's like.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
Back to the childhood.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
Sure, why not? Ady? Yeah? Who doesn't have an indoor
slide into it into a hot sep in the their Childhoodsurer?
Who doesn't have that? You don't have that? Guess? Just me?
Eighteen percent like the idea of doing a friend's only Christmas.
Thirty five percent would choose to focus on quality time
together overgifts decorations. I like that idea. Let's do Why

(02:03):
don't you give me a gift and then my quality
time with you is my gift to you.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
How about that my present is your present?

Speaker 1 (02:09):
I like that idea. Study also found that sixty percent
who have eaten something untraditional on Christmas or they say
they have eaten something on traditional on Christmas pizza, pasta, burghers,
or whatever. So here are the things that people would
be open to swapping. The top ten Christmas traditions. Sending
Christmas cards. I used to do it. I used to
do it for clients, not friends. I used to like

(02:30):
people who have part advertising parties. Problem is, I don't
even know if anyone even goes to office. I don't
even know where to send them anymore. Like, honestly, I
don't even know if half of our clients have offices.
And I don't feel weird calling them up being like, hey,
thanks for advertising with us, Can I have your home address?
It's kind of strange, ugly Christmas weather parties, we don't
have to do that. Gift giving in general, people are
okay not doing gift giving. Yes, Secret Santa gift exchange.

(02:54):
Listening to Christmas songs I will say, for the most part,
it's the same like ten songs being sung by every
contemporary artist you can imagine. And the ones I really
don't like, with the exception of All I Want for
Christmas is You, which has become a classic, and maybe
a couple others are the ones like where you try
and make your own Christmas song? Not a fan? What
really I don't like? I don't like instinct Merry Christmas.

(03:15):
Well there's another that's another rare example. That's a rare example. Album,
that's a rare you're quoting the rare example.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
Biebers is fire. I have to say, Sustin Bieber's is amazing.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
But it's not really necessarily up to you to write
a new Christmas song. Like if you want to go
ahead and do your little album Sabrina Carpenter where you
sing jingle bells, then fine, make you know, get your
bag or whatever. Her Yes, she does, but some of
them I have heard. I'm like, we didn't need that,
We didn't need you to write your own.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
What Fox is a sexual one? Oh?

Speaker 1 (03:44):
He does? Yeah, he has a sexual Christmas song. Yeah,
if you look that up, I'd like to hear. How
is it like?

Speaker 2 (03:50):
It's like it's like calling her missus claws and they're
going to hold on. Let me, I'll find it.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
Okay, let me see here elf on the shelf, Christmas lights,
holiday bagging and treats, decorating a Christmas tree. People are
over all of that. Well, then there's this amazing Christmas song.
Here's one. This is from Linda Bennett. Yes, remember this one?

Speaker 2 (04:11):
The best this is your music news and with.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
Us this is this is messed up.

Speaker 4 (04:15):
I'm you the best in Christmas music on this beautiful
Christmas eve.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
Oh wait, hold on's watching an ad? I gotta watch
an ad right in the middle like that. Yeah, I
know that's not cool. Hold on a second. All right,
have we done with this now? I don't need that suitcase.
I'm all good. I got everything I needed and here
we go. But this is a messed up song. It
is he goes on and on. He's telling a story.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
The snow is falling, what a s.

Speaker 3 (04:51):
Daddy will be coming home as happy?

Speaker 2 (04:55):
Yes, candy?

Speaker 1 (04:57):
Or will he Here'll be.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
Walking ten minutes after night?

Speaker 4 (05:04):
Wait for it because the bus it takes each night,
he's always right home time.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
He's gone.

Speaker 4 (05:14):
Very Christals with all the children.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
By the Chris, okaytree, I'm getting bored now it gets
sit apart soon.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
The bris Yes, this is a.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
Real song, by the way, like pointed int write this, okay,
so everyone's gonna have everyon's gonna have nice Christmas. Daddy's
coming home. Oh forgotten.

Speaker 4 (05:47):
We're sorry to interrupt this program, but a bulletin has
just been handed me. There's been a serious accident involving
the number five bus out of New Haven. Early information
we have is that the bus skated on a patch
of I'm slammed into a tree.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
And then this song goes on to talk about how
dad's dad. Yeah, yeah, so they just she just keeps
going and then she's gets sadder and sadder, and then a.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
Doorbell rings, right, and it's daddy.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
Yeah exactly, So he didn't actually die.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
I walked five miles to be here.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
Something like that.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
Right, he walked all the way home.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
Right. But the song goes from we can't wait to
see dad, Dad's probably dead to Dad's alive. It's Christmas yay.
I mean, that's a very traumatic evening. The part was like,
we we regret to inform you there were no survivors
in the It's a real song. It's a real song.
Did we didn't make this up?

Speaker 2 (06:37):
Wow?

Speaker 1 (06:38):
Anyway, we could probably get rid of that, that's a
Christmas tradition. We can get rid of kiki trending stories.
This is for you and only you, all right. TikTok
has asked the Supreme Court for an emergency order to
block the band, and the CEO of TikTok has met
with Donald Trum. Yeah, so they're gonna work this out. Yeah,
Donald Trump, I'm telling you, he set himself up to
be a hero. He has no intention of upholding this. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
I talked the Big Tea and he is working on it.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
You talked to Big Teas I did, yea. Yeah wow.
So you're you're.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
Okay with anybody owning TikTok as long as it doesn't
go away.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
Yeah, I don't.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
What do I care who owns it? What if it
changes dressed?

Speaker 1 (07:12):
So we're not doing any change, We're not doing anything. Well,
I there's another breaking news. Elon Musk bought it. He's
gonna call it. He's gonna call it three point one
seven z anybody but Eli Yeah, rolls off the TOG.
So they're asking for an emergency delay in the enforcement
of a band on the platform that was supposed to
go to an effect on January nineteenth. That is, of course,

(07:34):
unless the parent company sells the social media site. So
we'll see what happens. But there was there have been meetings,
and Trump is saying, we're gonna look at that. Trump
likes it now because he believes that it helped him
win the younger vote. So now he's like, I'm so.

Speaker 3 (07:48):
Bad and his son wants it and that' saw him
saying that. You know, actually he told me. Yeah, he
tells me his son had already been talking to him
about it, and.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
I was right, I know, Big T. Yes, we're trying
to get you to endorse him for some time, which
you wouldn't do.

Speaker 3 (07:59):
Well, we ain't going that far. Yeah, we did meet
you know about this. Yeah, you don't worry about it.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
Where about where? I can't tell you where.

Speaker 3 (08:06):
We were very private, but yeah, Big T is in
a lap he's working some things.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
That is something I'd like to see, is Mara a
Lago with Big T secretary of the right. Yeah wow,
you know, well, because Rufie is the secretary of big
ass mouth over there, Luigi Maggioni. This is the guy
who allegedly killed the United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. This

(08:36):
guy has a cult following now, so much so that
people are getting tattoos as a tribute to the man
who's accused of killing this guy. Images have started appearing
online of inkings honoring the guy. Not even two weeks
after the Ivy League grad allegedly shot dead. The fifty
year old dad of two in midtown Manhattan. One image
of the hooded gunman inside a love of heart read

(09:00):
I Heart my boyfriend. Another image showed on Instagram showed
an etching of his face alongside delayed, deny, and defend,
the main words in the title of a book about
insurance companies, and almost identical to the three words Thompson's
killer left on bullet casings. At the scene, someone else
got his face on their ankle. So people are really upsessed.

(09:21):
I mean, the comments in this art they're hilarious and
they're awful at the same time, people going, oh, no,
he was at my house then you couldn't possibly. I mean,
it's crazy. Mean, if you've been following this Menendez brother's
case and the idea that they might be getting out
of jail, there's a new LADA. So all of this
was under another DA who lost re election, so they

(09:43):
were out like they were going to get out. It
was decided, And now there's a new DA and he's
going to a whole On a second, the new district
attorney in Los Angeles County is skeptical about the Menandaz
brothers push to get out of prison. Eric and Lahmanen
has has spent nearly thirty five years in prison, serving
life sentences for the nineteen eighty nine murders of their
parents in Beverly Hills. In an interview with Deadline, the

(10:04):
New DA rejected the notion that the years of sexual
abuse them and his brothers say they suffered at the
hands of their father was not taken seriously at their
nineteen ninety five trial. That's been a key claim used
in their defense. The family supporting the brothers are now
saying they haven't spoken to this guy, but they're trying
to figure it out. And he said, hey, maybe not
so fast. Maybe they don't get to get out.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
Yeah. A lot of people said that that old DA
only did this to get votes, like because he was
up for re elections, and that didn't work.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
So now and this old Diddy again, this is an
actual trending story today. But it turns out you may
or may not be able to contract chlamydia from jim
exercise equipment. That's because, oh man, this is what this
is what a dude who cheated and got chlamydia says
in my opinion, But a leading doctor weighed in on
viral social media claims that it's possible to contract chlamydia

(10:53):
from touching JIM equipment. That means you and I'll be okay,
why don't go? I think exactly, Why.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
Don't got all your clothes at the same.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
Time when I do go? Yes, yes, that's why I'm not.
I'm ou here running in these streets. I'm not touching anything,
you know what I mean. And I can't do that
when it's cold outside, So that sorry. Gideon, a TikTok user,
claimed that he contracted the infection of the gym after
wiping his eye with a towel that was placed on
a seat, which is disgusting in itself. Tests revealed that

(11:22):
the cause was chlamydia, as the creator hadn't been sexually active.
A doctor asked if you were dead often, he said, yes,
Chances are someone sweated on the seat that you put
your gym towel on, wiped your face and got pink eye.
In an Instagram reel, a doctor named doctor Joe posted
the question can you really get chamitia from jim equipment?

(11:43):
We all know that it's primarily spread through doing the deed,
not through casual contact or touching services. So unless you're
doing something very unusual with those gym machines, then you
should be safe. So yeah, honestly, it sounds like someone
who cheated, you know, they got a little something and
they're like, baby, it's the gym. You know. I always

(12:03):
wipe my stuff down with a towel and then wipe
my face with it afterwards. Disgusting. It's the right brother's birthday.
We were just talking about them.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
That is amazing.

Speaker 1 (12:12):
We knew and it's national say it Nowaday day to
tell friends and loved ones how important they are to
us by expressing gratitude for all the ways they've impacted
our lives. You guys are all very important to me.
I just want you to know that I was waiting
you start. I just did wait no longer, Wait no longer.
You guys are all extremely important to me, most of
you at least, and it really depends on the day actually, And.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
Just like Jason and the sex messages, right, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:39):
He was until he didn't invite me to the party.
Kaitlyn was until she called me raggedocius Rufio was until
he talked all over me, which took about five seconds.
Kiki was so I found that I would you went
to marrow Lago without man, because I don't. I don't
really want to go to mar A Lago, but I
kind of do. I don't want to be spotted at
mar Alago, but if I just have to accompany you,

(13:00):

hell is going on there.
