Speaker 2 (07:04):
Not news news updates.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
I like all the local news. All right, what's going down?

Speaker 2 (07:09):
Here's why it is important to know the people you
are giving Christmas gifts to. More than half of Americans
will receive a gift they don't want. The new forecast
from Finder shows unwanted presents will reach an all time
high this year, with an estimated ten point one billion
dollars being spent on gifts that will go right in
the closet. All in all, that means a billion dollar

(07:31):
surgeon wasted money for gifting. The most unwanted gifts are
clothing and accessories, household items and fragrances round out the
top three. As far as how to get rid of
that unwanted stuff, four and ten say they'll regift it.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
My number one gift that I received that I did
not want was my ex mother in law. Twenty years.
She didn't give me a present for twenty years. She
gave me a present. It was a box of garbage
bags and it was.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
It was this sending a message.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
It really was exactly what it was.

Speaker 4 (08:08):
It was like, yeah, and Ohio man accidentally sent a
bag of meth to a bank teller while doing a
routine transaction at a drive through.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
Forty six year old Jason G. Smith was using you
know the tube system that you shoot your deposit or whatever.
It was at a bank in Woodsfield, Ohio, December third,
The bank worker found a baggy with a crystal substance inside.
Tests confirmed it was meth. Police tracked down Smith in
a nearby township. A police dog found more drugs in

(08:42):
his truck. He was taken to the county jail, where
the sheriff joked about the unexpected deposits and reminded people
they can drop off illegal drugs at the Sheriff's office
with no charges filed against.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
Okay, all right, let's do this all right, since the
holiday season, I dug up the top ten holiday toys
through the decades, according to History dot Com. Now, before
we go into and what they do, they broke it
down into the nineteen tens, twenties, thirties, forties, fifties, sixties, seventies, eighties, nineties,

(09:16):
and two thousands. So before we get to that, what
was that one gift that you got as a kid
that you remember?

Speaker 2 (09:24):
The one I remember the most. I was in fourth
grade and my parents got me golf clubs. Okay, and
I use them one time?

Speaker 1 (09:33):
Did you? Was it a good gift in your in
your mind?

Speaker 2 (09:37):
It was unique?

Speaker 1 (09:39):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (09:39):
You know it wasn't the same old by a doll,
biasweater or whatever.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
Mine was this little helicopter that was on this kind
of this plastic stick and it went around in a
circle and the blades really would chew up your fingers
and arms and something. This gift and the amount of
blood I lost on that gift was worth everything. So anyway,

(10:07):
all these these all these toys that are on this
list are legendary. There, they're legendary toys. Okay, so in
the nineteen tens, what do you think was the number
one toy of that decade? Jack's not Jack's the Teddy Bear?

Speaker 2 (10:26):

it or not.
