Headlines for December 8, 2025

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here are the facts. As human torch was denied, a
bangalo was a padnine Getchadnes all right, good morning and
the Star one oh five point seven. I'm Schmidty and
every Monday we run down some of the most ridiculous
news we found on the Internet, and I keep it
holiday themed. And I kind of can't stand myself for

(00:20):
it because I know so many of the guys listening
are going to be so excited about this, but I
gotta go with my first headline, good Bye Christmas. Shopping
can damage a man's health. According to a new study,
it's shown that the stress men experience while shopping can
spike to levels seen in riot police and fighter pilots,
with heart rates and blood pressures soaring, apparently, crowded aisles,

(00:43):
loud music, budget worries in last minute pressure pile up,
triggering everything from fatigue and anxiety to potential heart risks.
I'm just gonna say it right now, very similar to
the man flu. I'm sure somehow holiday stress is just
so much harder for the guys. Badbye. This is fascinating.
Someone said that Florida upside down looks like the Grinch,

(01:07):
and the Internet's losing their minds. So this cos from
a very well known influencer who simply took the state
of Florida on a map and then Google Map turned it,
and sure enough, it looks like a grumpy grinch looking
down from Mount Crumpet. And now is that what's called
Mount Crumpet? Mount Crumpet? Yeah, I'm right. Anyway, you've got

(01:29):
to see it, because you'll never look at Florida the
same way again. And to be fair, some of the
people I've met in Florida equally as you know me Badbine. Finally,
I warned you it was gonna be a bit of
a buzzkill how much Kevin McAllister would have spent in
twenty twenty five based on home alone two You guys
ready for this, That Plaza hotel suite that cost him

(01:50):
eleven hundred dollars would now cost you more than six
grand a four hundred and sixty eight percent increase. Kevin's
room service fee at nine hundred and sixty seven dollars,
would now be more than twenty two hundred dollars. But
here's the good news. The ice cream Sunday. You know
he gets served in bed. It's one of my favorite

(02:10):
lines one scoop or two, sir, make it three. I'm
not driving that ice cream Sunday was eighteen bucks back
in the nineties, twenty four dollars today. All in all,
the total costs for Kevin McAllister about twenty one hundred
dollars twenty twenty five has gone cost you eighty five hundred.
I told you I was trying to keep it positive,

(02:31):
but you can't say no to some home alone. Two
math headlines every Monday, seven forty five on Star Win
oh five point seven
