Speaker 1 (00:03):
Caloroka Shark Media. Hey there, I'm shining Mack with five
can News Christmas stories. I shouldn't be laughing at this
or someone because it could have gone sideways. But there's
a TikTok video that went viral. You see. A woman's
attempt to kick off the holiday season went viral for
(00:23):
all the wrong reasons after her husband fell partly through
the ceiling while retrieving Christmas decorations. Yeah, the wife posted
this on TikTok and all you could see is a
single leg with a croc shoe still on, dangling straight
down through a hole in the ceiling. You see, he
went up to get the Christmas tree. I don't do that.
(00:43):
I make the kids do that. I don't want to
go up in the attic. There could be a mouse.
You know how scared I am of a mouse. The
clip has been viewed one point nine million times. One
comment said, sir, I think he deported the loft one
egsit too early. Another said not me, thinking the insulation
was a leg with an amputated When user shared a
story of her father falling through the ceiling on Christmas
(01:04):
Eve retrieving presents, prompting mom to tell the children that
Sanna came through the ceiling. People worried about how you know,
is the husband here? Is he okay? But nope, he's fine.
That's how five good news stories work. So I'm not
gonna tell you the guys in the hospital. She also
shared some real time audio where the husband was still
stuck and said, I don't know which way to go.
I'm actually stuck. People are mad at Prince William and
(01:27):
Princess Catherine. Now we've been talking about this on the
Palace Intrigue podcast. I'm the writer on that podcast, and
we talk about the royal family every day. You see
William and Catherine. The Prince and Princess moved to a
new house, but according to the Daily Mail, the local
Christmas tree shop is just below their property, and visitors
are now being diverted onto a temporary road to prevent
(01:47):
cars from traveling too close to the royals. The detour
adds roughly a mile to the Christmas tree shop, and
some shoppers say the arrangement has created confusion. One person
told the paper, I've already seen a few near misses
were people have driven down the wrong side of the cones.
Another shopper set of car is parked and running both
days with what looked like two plain clothes officers inside
(02:07):
to prevent anyone going inside the lodge's grounds. Apparently there's
a no go zone around Forest Lodge where the royals live.
One resident's frustrated, said, the royal family encourage us to
go out in the fresh air, then they're restricting us.
Palace Intrigue wherever you get your podcast, that's one of
the many stories we're talking about. Actually, today we're gonna
be talking about Megan Markle's new holiday specials, so that
(02:29):
should be a lot of fun. People always react really
well to everything she puts on Netflix. Palace Intrigue wherever
you get your shows. Safety experts say not to leave
your Christmas tree or indoor holiday lights on overnight. The
guidance only use indoor lights when you're home and awake,
switch them off for bed or leaving the house. A
good rule of thumb is to limit indoor holiday lighting
to six to eight hours at a time. Matt Bowman
(02:52):
is a decorating specialist. He recommends inspecting all your cords
for nicks or fraying and discarded damaged strands. If you've
got older lights, get rid of them get the new
kind when simple upgrade, they recommend use a smart plug.
A smart plug can automate your lighting schedule and shut
the lights off automatically even if you forget. That's a
good idea, good news if you're looking for an excuse
(03:12):
not to eat your broccoli. Healthy officials in the UK
have issued a broad Christmas safety warning. They're highlighting lesser
known risks tied to holiday foods. For example, people taking
or foreign which is a blood thinner, are advised not
to overeat Brussels sprouts, broccoli and leafy greens, which are
high invitamin K and produce the drugs effectiveness. They also
(03:34):
warn that cranberry products may increase bleeding risk for such users.
The Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Agency also point out that
alcohol can impair judgment for anyone using mobility scooters or
powered wheelchairs, which are classified as medical devices. Along the way,
as we head towards Christmas, I'll be dropping in some
gift ideas here. This is just straight up content. I'm
(03:56):
not doing an affiliate deal. I'm not making any extra
money off this other than the commercials just heard. By
the way, if you would like the show commercial free
open up the Apple podcast app. If there's a banner
there it says uninterrupted listening. A click on that and
you can get the show commercial free for five bucks
a month. But here's the deal. Okay, you're paying attention,
you get a thirty day free trial, so you know,
if you just want to get through the Christmas episodes,
(04:17):
you know you could do that, but hopefully you'll like
it without the commercials and you can support the show.
It's just five bucks a month and you get this
and just about everything else on the network, including Daily
Comedy News, which I also host, without the ads. So
that's kind of a cool thing to check out. Here's
some under twenty five dollars gifts you could consider. Fans
of plush collectibles might like the Pokemon Holiday Snorlax Squish Mellow,
(04:38):
complete with a festive hat and soft texture ideal for
couch and apps, and cozy Winter Knight's TV fans can
add a touch of dark humor with a Squid Game stocking.
Do you have pets, how about the home alone bark
Box Mashup subscription, which brings Kevin McAllister themed toys and
treats straight to the paws of furry family members. I
don't think my dogs have seen Home alone. I don't
know if they would appreciate that. One collector will appreciate
(05:00):
the Hallmark Keepsake Jaws fiftieth Anniversary ornament, which I'm going
to order right now because I gotta get my cousin
something and he loves Jaws. Perfect. It's a good thing
I host the show. I would have known about that
unless I put this script together. If you willing to
go up in price a little bit, There's an Edgar
Allan Poe ornament which leans into the darker side of
the season, and a Godzilla ceramic mug, which I'm told
(05:22):
is ideal for hot Coco, late night tea or marathoning
Kaiju movies. Fans of Star Wars can choose between Hasbro's
Holiday Astromech droid complete with Santa accessories, or a Holiday
Stormtrooper outfitted like a reindeer. Those are fun. Do you
like horror movies? How about Black Christmas t shirts and sweatshirts?
Or for the Trekkie in your life, there's the Hallmark
Star Trek Pook card Uss Titan ornament, commemorating the ship
(05:46):
before It's controversial rechristening as the Enterprise G And those
are your five good news stories for today. Have an
awesome day.
