Welcome to Non headline News, theextended version, Scotty, what do we
got today? Well, Hannah,because it's the holiday season when we're doing
this, I thought, let's doa couple of stories about the holidays.
One of my favorite was the Itwas a Facebook invitation for folks to come
in on a holiday party. Lovea good holiday party. And it's the
(00:23):
Walmart self checkout employee Christmas Party.Yes, this is the one where everyone's
invited. Who has ever checks themselvesout at Walmart? So everyone? So,
yeah, all of us, itsays. At the time I saw
this story, one hundred thirty ninethousand people had responded. Wow. So
(00:45):
apparently they're going to break off intorooms. I don't know if they're doing
a white elephant right, everyone puta virtual gift card in the queue.
But yeah, it kind of bringsup that good point that I always kind
of feel like I'm an employee whenI have to do that sort of work.
How do you feel about the selfcheckout? I don't mind the self
checkout if I have a few items. As I get older, the self
(01:07):
checkout starts to bug me more andmore. And here's looking at you,
Walmart. We're at the end ofthe order, it's like, how is
your service today, and you getthe little spiley face options No, no,
no, no, it was bad. I had to do it on
the hill, right, Well,I did great. I don't know about
you, guys. The other thingis, I think I'm okay on a
lot of items. I always havethe wrong side down to find them.
(01:30):
But it's the produce that's what getsme. I have to go through some
lookout thing. Now. You havea background in supermarket. Yes, four
zero one one bananas. I usedto have them all memorized, and it
drives me and saying I don't rememberthem anymore. Yeah, and if I
have to do that, I feellike they need to be tipping me right
now. I've noticed some stores thelittle like produce sticker. They make that
(01:51):
code scannable now, but like fewand Farty. Yeah yeah, Well,
I've always said my solution to thisis a three percent discount if you do
your own checking. But that justhasn't grabbed any momentum. Yeah. I
wonder why I think they're in itfor the money. Hannah, be honest
with you. Okay, let's talkabout holiday snacks. Okay, love me
(02:15):
a good holiday snack. A newstudy says half of us go to holiday
parties just for the desserts, Yes, and many will stay for dessert then
leave respect Festive desserts bring back evenbetter childhood memories than opening presents or playing
in the snow, and about halfof people admit they've hidden their favorite treats
(02:37):
so they don't have to share.So dilemma in our household, my mom's
out of the family. There's aton of us and they get together every
year and they bake cookies. There'sHannah cookies, there's Tyler cookies. We
all have our own cookie So mymom brought them down and we ate them
all already. Yeah, And Iwas like, we're going to ration them,
we'll put them in the freezer.But I did not get them in
the freezer fast enough, and allof a sudden, I'm like, so,
(02:59):
where'd all these cookie go? Well, snacks are tricky anytime you bring
him into the house because you don'tknow the time when people will get that
craving. My wife has figured outto keep me away from snacks. She
brings in anything that's hot, likethe spicy Deridos or spicy Cheetos, because
(03:22):
I will not touch those. Sothat's her protection for me. Yes,
it's not more for her, it'sto protect you. It's right, Okay,
let's move on. This was sucha good story because I feel like,
if you don't hear about Taylor Swifttoday, it's really odd. What
(03:43):
world do you live in if thatis the case. There's news every single
day it's either Travis Kelcey or TaylorSwift. Well, I'm Marilyn Man got
tired of his wife talking about it, so he basically created it was like
a swear jar where she has toput money in every time she says Taylor
or Swift or Travis or Kelsey.Now. I don't know about Tay right,
(04:09):
Tay the nickname Tay, but ifyou're trying to get someone in your
life to just see if they coulddo it. Even my mother, we're
walking into my house on things givingand she goes, Kenna, I am
just so sick and tired of hearingabout this Taylor Swift thing. Like that
football player. She's saying, Ijust don't care. I guess the feelings
mutual. I love it when yougo into your mom's voice. Yes,
(04:31):
And finally, let's talk about thelife at Sea Hannah. Okay, this
was that three year cruise around theworld, highly publicize, people ate it
up. Yes, people with lotsof money put a lot of money into
it. And then the thing wascanceled. But it was canceled last minute.
(04:53):
So there were folks that were atthe starting line for this, which
is in Turkey, and then itwas anseled and they're out hundreds of thousands
of dollars. Didn't they cancel itlike two days before it was supposed to
like embark something like that, Andthey said they didn't have the ship available,
which seems like a basic criteria forsetting up a cruise. Before we
(05:15):
have this cruise, let's make surewe have out of a ship. Yeah,
let's just gather a bunch of peopleand hope a ship shows up.
The disgruntled passengers said some of themhad let Lesa's lapse. They rented out
their homes or even sold their houseswow, in anticipation of the journey.
So there's no residence to return to. Now. Life at Sea valves to
(05:39):
refund passengers money, but in somesort of installment plan out are you looking
at the website? I'm looking atthe website for like what I'm going to
call a standard like Joe Schmoe roomright, anybody who's anybody type of thing
on a cruise double occupancy. Thatdouble occupancy, you do get an outside
view, so you get some kindof window. Yeh four hundred and thirty
(06:01):
thousand dollars. Wow, yes,and from there it's three years. So
imagine whatever you'd pay in a mortgageor rent or whatever. And then you're
I'm guessing, get your food andeverything taking Yeah. And by the way,
I'm looking at all the destinations.Yeah, I want to go on
this. I need them to getthis cruise to work. I need to
(06:23):
win the lottery and see you bye. Boy. If they came at you
with some sort of oh, bythe way, we're going to charge you
extra for internet, I would flipmy lid. Should I look under the
what's included? Tap? Yeah?Yeah, that's fine, it's fine.
Is there a spa imagine nothing aboutWi Fi? Not a thing about Wi
Fi? Oh high speed internet isincluded? Yeakay, okay, that's good.
(06:46):
Well now it's totally worth it.Don't forget about the enrichment seminars.
That is incredible. But yeah,I mean, are they still doing cruises.
What's the story? This website rightnow looks like it's acting, so
I don't know if they're trying toget it back going again soon, but
it looks to me you can stillbook on this cruise. I wouldn't yeah,
(07:09):
but yeah. And we also havesome tickets to the fire Festival to
send you the new one that they'rerebooting. Who's buying that? By the
way, who's going buying tickets tothat? There is a twenty two year
old want to be influencer on Instagramright now. I was like, I'll
buy tickets to Firefast and that's reallygoing to launch my career. You know
that terrible thing that stole everyone's moneyand failed miserably. It can't do it
(07:32):
again twice? Duh, But yes, we're doing it again exactly. It
couldn't go wrong twice. Is thatlike, shame on you if you feel
me once, shame on me ifyou feel me twice you if you fool
me twice. Yes, I knowwhat you're saying that if you and that's
going to do it. We aredone for this edition. Scotty. You
can swim with penguins. Excuse me, you can swim with penguins on this
(07:55):
cruise. That's not happening. Penguinsstink, but I don't mean I'm literally
they smell back. Remember we tooka tool, Yes we did, and
that's why they're behind glass. Ithink I mean they because nobody really realizes
we'll just put one of those newcar air fresheners around their neck. They
may be cute, they're definitely notsomebody that you want to be hanging out
(08:16):
with in life. This is true. They kind of smell fishy, yem.
