Speaker 1 (00:01):
Ninety seven, The Jests, Jody's ninety second news Update Now.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Yad power my Carter soup much mostly clear, cloudy today
in the low forties. Guess what It's Giving Tuesday? Since
it started as a hashtag many years ago, the Tuesday
after Thanksgiving is one of the biggest fundraising days of
the year for nonprofits in the US. Vendors' favorite charity,
of course, is Seattle Children's and this year I've donated

(00:25):
to Saving Great Animals, Mary's Place and Food Lifeline or
many charities waiting for your donation. Amazon is testing ultra
fast deliveries in Seattle and Philadelphia purchases, we'll get to
your front door in thirty minutes, and yes, you'll have
to pay extra for it thirteen ninety nine per order.
But if you're a Prime member, you're you only have

(00:46):
to pay three ninety nine. And then if you only
get a couple of things, they charge a small basket
fee of an extra two bucks.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
Serious question. Yeah, if you regularly purchase on Amazon, who
isn't a Prime member?

Speaker 2 (01:01):
That's a great question.

Speaker 3 (01:03):
I don't know, like, who's actually spending thirteen ninety nine
and not the three ninety nine, right?

Speaker 2 (01:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:09):
I don't know, huh.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
I can't imagine anything that you need in thirty minutes
other than medicines, you know, Like, I don't know, have
you ever been super sick and home alone and really
need like niquil or Thailand all or something like that
and you just can't go out and get it. Other
than that, you'd have to be really stoned to use service,

(01:31):
which I can also understand. That makes sense too. Mission
Ridge Ski and Bord Resorts set to kick off the
season Thursday. Steven's Pass announced it's postponing its opening day.
They were supposed to get chairs moving this Friday, but
there's just not enough snow. Summit will open December seventeenth.
More than twelve hundred people have been killed by flooding
and landslides in parts of Asia. Cyclone fueled downpours have

(01:53):
battered Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia. The US did not commemorate
World AIDS Day this week, a break from decades of precedent.
The day intended to remember the lives lost to the disease.
Airline passengers traveling without a real idea or a passport
will have to pay forty five dollars starting February first,
the TSA announced that anyone going through airport security checkpoints

(02:14):
without real ID or passport, we'll have to verify their
identity through biometric or biographic system. Biographic Oxford Dictionary's word
of the year. It's actually two words, rage bait. They say,
the terms being used three times more than it was
a year ago.

Speaker 4 (02:30):
You know what rage bait is, right, that's when people
post stuff just to.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
Get you mad.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
And gaslighting.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
Yeah, it makes sense. Lawyers for Sean Diddycombs are fighting
to keep Netflix from releasing a docu series about the
embattered music mogul. Release the series now, I want to
see it. This is the bessest thing you can do.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
This all the stuff that fifty cent says he has.

Speaker 4 (02:50):
Yeah, probably, I don't know. I literally don't even know.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
And finally, Netflix says released yule log videos based on
K Pop, Demon Hunters, Wednesday and Stranger Things, so you
can start watching those now.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
Awesome, I gonna be There is a yule log video
on Disney on Disney Plus that Mackenzie loves where it's
just the fire and then every two or three minutes,
Oloff from Frozen just goes running by that's all. It
is a music. It's it's it's it's it's music. Yeah,

(03:23):
and it's just the fire yeah. And then every so
often Olof goes running on by dance in front of
the fireplace.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
And you have fireplaces in your house, right, yes, it's funny.
How many fireplaces you got?

Speaker 4 (03:33):
Like three?

Speaker 3 (03:33):
Right? Two? Yeah on the failure one in the living rooeah. Yeah.
As of yesterday, at the end of the show, there
were only twenty five tickets left for our annual movie
that we hold at the North Bend Theater in North Bend,
and we do it with all the proceeds benefiting Radiothon
for Seattle Children's Hospital. Every year we do it. First

(03:55):
year we did Grease two, sold it out. Next year
we did Xana do Oh Never Again. Third year we
did Mama Mia. That was last year. This year we're
doing Little Shop of Hors.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
I've been wanting to do Little Shop of Hors since
we started doing this, Like Greece Too. We was the
reason that we started the movie. But then in the
second year we were trying to pick the movie right
and figure out what we're gonna do. I'm not trying
to say I told you so right, but I was
against Zana.

Speaker 3 (04:24):
Well, we have sold out all of the screening, so
that hasn't been an issue.

Speaker 4 (04:28):
No, it's not an issue. But I didn't want Xana do.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
I wanted Little Shop of Cars because I feel like
this is the perfect movie for this event with this crap.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
Uh never before has a movie sold as fast as
Greece Too. Greece Too. We sold out like within a
week this one. We've only got twenty five tickets left.
It's two hundred and thirty five tickets. It's all we've got.
Once we get two thirty five were done, We're not
doing this another night. It's gonna be at the end
of January at the North Bend Theater of North Bend.
But we always sell all the tickets before Radio Thought happens,

(05:00):
so that we have all the money accounted for the
bottom line of Radiothon. Yeah, and uh so as of
yesterday at the end of the show, I haven't heard
from the hospital yet this morning, but we only had
twenty five tickets left. So if you're trying to get
in and you want to buy a ticket, it's only
thirty five bucks. All the money goes to Seattle Children's hospital.
Go to give to the Kids dot Com. You'll see

(05:21):
the link forgive for a little shop of hers, and
then you're in and you're done, and you're gonna be
there with us.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
Yeah, buy the ticket for you and your friend who
like to have fun and come and join us because
we do Puget Sound showdown live on stage usually after
the movie, not before. And uh and this year I
think I'm gonna clip some of my spider plant legs
and and give those out to the winners because as
you know, I know you've never seen the movie, but
you know it's about a plant, so I'm.

Speaker 3 (05:48):
Gonna be I have never seen the little shop bar.

Speaker 4 (05:50):

you you. Dub Medicine received news of an anonymous fifty
million dollars donation. Undergraduate seniors will receive free tuition for
their clinical rotations for decades to come, and this particular
program that it's been dedicated to will also now be
able to expand from seventy students to one hundred. It's

(07:10):
like this medical lab, this particular program, and it's very exciting.
They told all of the students, we have an announcement
to make dress for success and come meet us, and
nobody knew what it was about, and they were basically
told their tuition is paid. How fantastic Costco's taking the
Administration of Court over billions in tariffs, arguing that the
president overstepped his authority. Other companies like Bumblebee Foods, Kawasaki Motors, Revlon,

(07:32):
and Yokohama Tires have filed similar lawsuits. The son of
notorious Mexican drug kingpin El Choppo, pled guilty yesterday to
US drug trafficking charges. US Envoy US Special Envoy Steve

high level talks between the US and Ukrainian officials over

(07:53):
the weekend. Steve McBee senior do you ever hear of
McBee Dynasty Real American Cowboys?

Speaker 1 (08:00):
No?

Speaker 3 (08:01):
Apparently not man enough to watch that show.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
Actually it's for girls because all the mcbees are really
hot dudes.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
Oh okay, I believe the.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
Families from South Dakota and they're like, they're cowboys and
this was supposed to be the next big reality show. Well,
Steve McBee senior, who's the dad, turned himself in today
to serve a two year sentence for crop insurance fraud.
Here's the part I know you'll love. McBee says that
he's been getting advice from fellow reality star Todd Christly,
who of course, received a full pardon in May while

(08:31):
serving his prison sentence for conspiracy to commit bank fraud.
What could crop insurance fraud be is that like, oh,
our field of corn died, so we need money from
the government.

Speaker 3 (08:43):
Yeah, yeah, I would assume.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
So yeah, all right, Well, I guess we'll see what
happens with this guy. Here's an update on this story
from yesterday. Zachary ty Bryan, former star of Home Improvement,
and his girlfriend were both arrested after a crazy incident
where she tried to run him over in her pickup
truck with their three kids inside, and he wasn't even
supposed to be near her at all due to a
restraining order. So let's just say that relationship has gone

Speaker 4 (13:17):
I thought she didn't talk.

Speaker 3 (13:19):
You saw she swallowed her tongue. All the texts came
in because I've never seen the original Christmas fake, the

Clark puts the dog.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
He attaches the dog to the bumper and then he
starts driving and forgets that the dog is there and
it's a terrible dog and we're all supposed to not
feel sad about it.

in half an hour so desperately?

Speaker 3 (16:16):

because everybody could say the same thing as it's all relative.
People could go medicine. Why on earth would you need

in the studio was a six foot inflatable dradle. It's true,

(19:39):

But it feels more festive in here now, doesn't it.
Everything's fantastic. Yeah, when you pull up our video you
will see the giant inflatable drader. Can't miss it watching
us on Jody and Bender TV. With the videos that

(23:36):
we post, you can see the giant inflable unlike the
Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Did you watch any of that?

Speaker 2 (23:43):
No?

Speaker 3 (23:44):
Mackenzie couldn't wait, like we we we knew that Blue
was going to be on and Paw Patrol was going
to be on and all of her favorite part, Oh
my god, cap Demon Hunters, like we were all so excited. Yeah,
did you read any of the blowback that they got? NBC? No,
NBC airs the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. It was the

(24:08):
ninety ninth Thanksgiving Day Parade and ninety percent of the
broadcast was just who like Hoda and I forget who
the other Savannah Guthrie and Al Roker and it was
bouncing back and forth between the three of them, and
they would show the performances that were going on from

(24:30):
the Broadway people outside of Macy's, and then every now
and then they'd show a balloon every now and it
was like, what is this? Is hours of this?

Speaker 2 (24:39):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (24:39):
Say they? So they didn't show enough floats and.

Speaker 3 (24:42):
It was painful. It was like, dude, what are you doing?

Speaker 4 (24:47):
Usually do don't they usually show the whole thing?

Speaker 3 (24:49):
Well, unless I'm mistaken, and please, I need to know
if this is a Mandela effect, because Rachel doesn't remember this,
my wife didn't. Wasn't the parade covered by all the networks,
and all the networks would have their own broadcast of
the parade with their own people, and everybody would show
it a different way. Now it's just NBC and this

(25:13):
time around watching it because all McKenzie wanted to see
the were the floats, right, And the only time we
would really see it was when they go to commercial
come back from commercial. All the other times it was
just let's watch another performance from a Broadway show, or
here come the Rockets, or here's Al talking to more

(25:34):
people on the street or here I'm was.

Speaker 2 (25:35):
Like, oh my god, I can't really comment on it,
because I don't think that I've ever actually just sat
and watched the broadcast except the time that it was
Will Ferrell and Molly Shannon, and I believe that was
on like Amazon Prime one time, and I was like,
I'll watch anything that Will Ferrell and Molly Shannon do.
And obviously it was a lot of silliness and certainly

(25:56):
less floats.

Speaker 3 (25:57):
Random text. Have you guys listened to the Dolly part
In Rock album where she covers a bunch of different
rock songs. What did you think the most random text
we've received? No, are you talking about this? Now? I
know what you're thinking. Well, how can that be a
random text?

Speaker 2 (26:15):
If you had that.

Speaker 3 (26:16):
Ready to go?

Speaker 1 (26:16):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (26:16):
He just has everything ready to go.

Speaker 3 (26:18):
I mean I have.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
I have that.

Speaker 3 (26:23):
It's rain and time. Okay, stop.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
It could destroy a club of mic thunder beat it
on the White Boy Water of course.

Speaker 3 (26:36):
I had Dolly Parton.

Speaker 1 (26:40):
Covering, spanning the globe to find the news you didn't
know you needed to know. You know that Daily Bender Gazette.
Now here's benders.

Speaker 3 (26:51):
About to find. Folks in core contractors believe this? What
up on our Facebook page earlier today at Jody and
Yes Bender A man in Barna, Alta, Dina, California. Yeah,
dude found a bear under his house. Oh ray, the

(27:16):
dude found a bear has been living under his house.
He first noticed crawl space damage in April, installed a
camera by June, got the footage and damn, there's a
bear under my house.

Speaker 2 (27:29):
A huge bear.

Speaker 3 (27:30):
A huge bear, according to the guy who owns the house.
He says the bear must be a contortionist because there's
not much room down there. And according to the video footage,
the bear is so big that its stomach is like
dragging across the ground when he's crawling underneath the house.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
I don't know how he can even get down there.
Watching him squeeze himself out, it looks like a cartoon.

Speaker 3 (27:54):
Apparently the bear is tagged, and it says that the
bear leaves during the day to go out and forge
and do whatever he does, and then he's out there
doing bear stuff, and then he comes back at night
and he crawls back underneath the house, right.

Speaker 2 (28:12):
Like a roommate who goes to work. Who's keeping track
of the tags?

Speaker 3 (28:16):
It's a great question, and was nobody going to say anything?
The tag is the tag on? Aren't all tags like GPS?
You'd think, so maybe like where do they lose one?

Speaker 2 (28:29):
They don't have the person watching the bears anymore, but
you would think that they would like notice how close
it was to town.

Speaker 3 (28:37):
So he said that the bear roared at him, Oh
my god, dude, last week, leaving him shaking for like
a half an hour. He called the police says, I
don't need a bear for Christmas. I want to get
rid of the bear for Christmas.

Speaker 2 (28:54):
Here's my question to you. Yeah, how often do you
walk your property and do you think if a bear
was living under your house, you would know.

Speaker 3 (29:03):
We've got a fairly good size. It's not a basement,
but there's a fairly good size under my house. Yeah,
like like you open up the oh you have like
the movie, like the double door you know the ones
that like in Twister. Yeah, the double doors to go
underneath the house. Yeah, if there was something living under

(29:26):
the house, I think we would know. And it goes
the length of the house, so I could have like
a party of Lord knows what the house living under
my house.

Speaker 2 (29:35):
I mean, you were so upset when those swallows were
up in the eaves, Imagine how you'd feel if there
was an enormous bear underneath.

Speaker 3 (29:42):
I genuinely believe that I would think I would call
someone to get the bear out of the house. But
by the time I got home, Rachel and Mackenzie would
have the bear in the family room. I'm sitting in
my chair watching TV.

Speaker 4 (29:56):
For sure, with like a little hat on.

Speaker 2 (29:59):
Here's an argument for having dogs, though, because if there
was a bear living under my house, Squiggy and Jerry
would have told me about it immediately.

Speaker 3 (30:06):
Yeah, I don't know if Cooper would have. I don't
know if Cooper would have like sensed it. I'm sure
he would have. Of course he would. Of course he
would have.

Speaker 2 (30:16):
May not be the brightest bold, but he would know
if there was a damn bear in your house.

Speaker 3 (30:20):
Today is Cooper's Gotcha Day?

Speaker 2 (30:21):
Happy birthday?

Speaker 3 (30:22):
Yeah. We got Cooper seven years ago today. It was
after I lost Ted, my great dane. I lost him
in sixteen and we went two years with Boomer being
the only dog in the house, and I would get
constant DMS from listeners saying, hey, there's a great day
and available. Hey there's a mastiff available, Hey go get

(30:44):
you know whatever. And somebody sent me a link for
a mastiff that kind of looked like Boomer up in
Skadget County, and we're like, all right, let's go take
a link. So we drive up there to ever since.

Speaker 4 (30:57):
Washington fabulous ever since mine.

Speaker 3 (30:59):
Walk into the place. Out comes a dog. I'm like,
that's not a massive, No, it's not. I'm like, I
appreciate it, but I'm not interested. And they said, well
we have another dog, and Cooper comes running out and
I'm like, and as Rachel tells the story, it was
love at first sight and done, and I took Cooper home.

Speaker 2 (31:16):
Also, I mean, can you even take Rachel to look
at a dog that you don't intend to come home with,
Like if you're gonna make choices, like maybe we will,
and maybe we won't leave Rachel at all, right, because
she's gonna be like dog and any dog. So how
are we celebrating Cooper's got your day to go for
a long while?

Speaker 3 (31:34):
I'm sure text Cooper's no snitch if there's a bear
under the house, are you kidding? We'll get him something
from the fancy pet store across the way and Snowhomer's nice,
so we'll get him something.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
You got a fancy pet store.

Speaker 3 (31:47):
We have a fancy pet store. Nice shout out around
of Damn, haven't heard that in a while.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
