in seventeen seventy one, Charlemagne becomes the sole King of
the Franks after the death of his brother Carlo Mann.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Thirteen forty nine.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Five hundred Jews of the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg
or massacred during Black Death Riots.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
What do we have here? Eighteen forty eight, US President
James K.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Polt triggers the Gold Rush of eighteen forty nine by
confirming a gold discovery in California, and in nineteen thirty three,
the aforementioned prohibition ends in the US two pm. They
having reasons to celebrate. It's time for today's official dad joke.
(03:10):
If you are not a dad, do not try this
at home. We are professionals. What's a snowman's favorite Mexican food?
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Wait? What birdos? Ladies and gentlemen, we need to talk.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Last night we all piled onto the couch for Rudolph,
same as every year. My fifteen year old walks in
like he's on a covert mission. He's clutching a Christmas tree,
little Debbie. He's trying to open it, quietly, thinking no
one's paying attention. And then his seventeen year old sister,
who never misses a thing, announces to the room, that's
his second one today. I didn't even look away. I
(03:52):
just reached over, snatched it out of his hand, and said,
we have rules, sir, these are ration. He didn't blink
that one was for tomorrow. I was just eating it today.
I told him we don't do credit on seasonal snacks
and took a slow, dramatic bite while he stared at
me in genuine betrayal. Of course, the whole room erupted,
(04:13):
and that's when his sister decides it's time for the
classic say this five times fast an bush second attempt.
I'm already cracking up mouthful of stolen cake and boom,
little Debbie confetti everywhere, Crumbs on cushions, frosting on my sleeve,
green sprinkles raining down like cheap glitter. Now younger me
(04:35):
would have jumped up, grabbed a towel, turned the not
into a cleanup lecture.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Last night, I just laughed harder.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I watched the dogs teleport in and vacuum the crime
scene and record time kept right on. Watching Rudolph with
a half eating cake in my hand and two teenagers laughing.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
That's when it clicked.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Why grandparents are so chill, Why they let kids get
away with murder and never sweat the mess. It's not
that they've given up, It's that they've finally done the math.
Cakes come and go, dog's handle crumbs. But a fifteen
year old still willing to argue with his mom over
snack logistics, a seventeen year old who thinks it's hilarious
to watch me choke on a tongue twister. Four people
(05:16):
choosing to sit in the same room laughing at the
same dumb joke in December. That's the stuff you don't
get extra helpings of. You can't eat tomorrow's joy today
and pay it back later. So Yeah, I'm getting older,
and the older I get, the less I care about
the mess.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Win or Wick up in the morning. It's study hall time. Today,
we're headed to outer space.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
I remember when I was a kid, like really small,
we went to the local planetarium and we like plasted off.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
It was like we were going into space.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Dude, when I came out of that place, I thought
I had gone to space.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
May lie to me.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Anyway, back to our lesson, NASA says our Milky Way
Galaxy has at least three hundred million habitable planets. Now,
believe what you want to, but I'll just say this.
If that is the case, how in the world are
we the only ones here?
Speaker 1 (06:19):
I know what you're saying. I already know. I hear
you thumping the Bible from here.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
I'm just saying, if there's three hundred million habitable planets,
how do we know we're the only ones?
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Just a question. Think about it. This weekend class dismissed.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Well, that's going to do it for our number one.
But don't you friend, we still have two full hours
to go. Coming up, in our number two, we take
out our first look at news or nonsense. Just when
you thought you could trust fake news, they give you
a reason not to. We'll talk about that all. So
(07:00):
coming up an hour or two, we have your not news.

Show here on a Friday.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Coming up.

news or nonsense. Thinking about getting into the home flipping business,

(10:06):
it's time to get our number two rolling with my
favorite part.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
It's trap track time news or nonsense.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
They got a question for you. Do you watch those
house flipping shows? You know somebody will buy an old house,
put a new code of pain on it and up
the price by one hundred and fifty gram. We used
to watch those all the time, but now not so much.
But anyway, it's not always a success story. Tennessee real
estate investor Page Batton bought a house back in October
(10:38):
of twenty twenty four that she was hoping would be
a quick flip. Things haven't exactly gone her way, to
say the least, not just because she's been sitting on
an empty home for over a year, but because when
some prospective buyers finally came to tour the house, she
found out that someone had to remove the driveway. She said,
(11:03):
I had a call on Saturday morning and she was like, Hey,
we're thinking about putting in an offer. When are you
going to finish up the driveway? And I'm like, well,
the driveway had a couple of cracks in't it, But
we're not planning on redoing the driveway. And she's like, well,
maybe we're at the wrong house now. This happened a
few weeks back back and called the police about the
(11:23):
missing driveway. During their investigation, they found that a whole
crew with a truck and trailer and dump truck hauling
a back hole and a King Cab truck hauling a
back hole came out and removed the driveway. The biggest
thing is trying to you know, find out who did this. Uh,
not trying to accuse anybody or anything, but just hopefully
(11:47):
somebody will come forward and go, hey, we made a mistake,
and you know, on up to it and Hopefully we'll
get a driveway porch without us paying all the money,
said Baton. I guess they took the poor out too.
Otherwise she's in for fourteen thousand dollars to replace it
with no guarantee of selling the house. I know, I
(12:08):
hear you. Why would someone steal a driveway? It's actually
a scam called overpayment. Scam Thieves scan listings on reality
sites looking for houses that are sitting empty, then call
a contractor about doing some mixterior work like removing the driveway.
Scammers write a check for more money than the contractor
asked for and say, oh, we made a mistake and
(12:30):
ask for the difference to be returned. Scam artist check bounces,
but they're off with the overage and you're out of driveway. Man.
The time and effort that these scammers put into these schemes,
they could have a legit job and probably be pretty
successful with how clever they are.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
I bet nobody owns up to this. We will never
know your news.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
I'm not trav According to sources, local husband and father
Randy Austin issued a housewide travel band on any vehicles
coming from Amazon. In a sweeping executive directive, his wife
found off putting. I will permanently pause deliveries from Amazon
to allow our bank account to recover, Austin reportedly said
(13:21):
as he addressed the household, we cannot have open shipments
from Amazon where I cannot safely and reliably vet and
screen the incoming purchase. That is why I'm invoking my
role as head of the household and signing a new
order placing delivery restrictions on Amazon, Walmart, Target, and numerous others.
(13:42):
Austin's wife, Angelola, called her husband's actions an authoritarian misstep
that threatened the integrity of the household. At press time,
Angelica placed an indefinite hold on household cooking, a move
neighbors had called the nuclear option. With You're not news,
I'm not.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Trapped news or nonsense. If you're like me and you
watch you know, sports, any kind of sports, you are
inundated with gambling apps during coverage of any sport. I mean,
(14:23):
you've got ESPN, FS one, all of them are already
partnering with casinos. So I guess it was only a
matter of time before news media took a similar path. Yep,
CNN partners with Calshie to integrate prediction markets into its
global newsroom, the first major news network to embrace Calshi
(14:47):
Prediction Markets. A new era of media is here.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
CNBC also announced the media partnership with calshiy y'all, we're
betting on the news now. I'm sure if you were
worried about fake news before, if money can be made
off of it.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Hey don't trust anything.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
And plus this goes to show what trouble traditional legacy
media is in. They're having a partner with gambling people
from the story. He's popular prediction site has a new
multi year partnership with the Business news Giant that will
put Calshi's real time prediction data across CNBC's channel, site
(15:36):
and app starting twenty twenty six. Y'all, the co founder said,
the long term vision is to financialize everything and create
tradable asset out of any difference in opinion. Tradable asset?
What was the other term they used something about?
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Where was it?
Speaker 2 (16:01):
A partners Kashi prediction markets, prediction markets and trader assets
fancy terms for gambling. I don't I mean this guy.
At least he's honest. He wants to make it you
be able to bet on everything. He wants to make
(16:23):
money off of arguments. Whatever. This is a bad, bad
move right here. You know what society needs right now
is definitely more gambly. That's what we need, and we
need a reason not to trust. Listen, college football fans
and NFL fans are already saying it's rigged because of
(16:45):
the gambling.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Again, fake news just got worse.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
It's time for today's Facebook find Today we head to Gainesville, Georgia,
and just so you know, today category is apparel.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Now.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
This comes from Joey Newell. Joey joined Facebook back in
twenty eighteen. I don't see any stars or any details
about Joey's interaction on marketplace. That doesn't mean anything. This
could be the first item he's put up there. Let's
see how does he describe this?
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Used? But good?
Speaker 2 (17:24):
All right, let me get you ready now. Holidays are
quickly approaching. They're already here. Most of us have already
attended some kind of holiday shein, dig party, get together,
whatever you want to call it. And one of the
five yoular ones this time of the year is the
ugly Christmas sweater. What could be better than an ugly sweater? Well,
(17:54):
what if I told you you could have a two
person sweater.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
It is a two person sweater, or maybe a sweater
for someone with two heads. On one side is an elf,
the other side is Santa Claus. And as you can imagine,
your heads go through, so you complete the illusion that
you are at the north pole. So nothing says ugly
(18:21):
sweater like being able to point at the person you're
sharing a sweater with and say, hey, he's the reason
this is an ugly sweater.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Put them get it? Huh.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
You could have such fun and be able to make
such jokes for the low low price of twenty bucks.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
That's right, twenty dollars. He says. This is using good condition.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Now there's a picture here, there will be at the
trav Show website and the Trav Show Facebook page. It
looks fine. The couch that it's on. It hasn't be
concerned about this sweater. But if you'd like to try it,
it's twenty bucks.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Risk it.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Today's Facebook final. Well, hour two is almost finished. You
know what that means. That's right, we still have another.
Speaker 1 (19:09):

Speaker 2 (22:31):
I know, I know the weekend is so close, so
let's get this one going. News or nonsense, like it
or not. Twenty twenty five is quickly coming to an end,
and uh people are putting out, you know, lists from
twenty twenty five, including the most googled terms of twenty
(22:53):
twenty five. So I thought, you know what, that sounds interesting.
I should share this with my listeners. Let's see here
right off the bat, the top result is no surprise.
The top trending US Google search of the year was
Charlie Kirk. Of course, Charlie the conservative activist who was
assassinated while speaking at a Utah university now Charlie's death
(23:15):
sparked to nationwide response from politicians, celebrities, and the general
public that lasted weeks, if not months, and was really
the catalyst for a lot of things. Following Kirk is
the Netflix animated movie K Pop Demon Hunters, a musical
film that has become Netflix's most successful film today. I
(23:37):
knew nothing about it until the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade.
I was like, what is this and my kids were like, Oh,
that's K Pop Demon Hunters. I thought, well, there's plenty
in New York to hunt anyway.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
I'm kidding, maybe not.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
The movie follows in the idle group that doubles as
demon Hunters. Just a few short weeks, it exploded into
a cultural promenomenon. Other top searches include le Boo Boo,
iPhone seventeen one, Big Beautiful Bill, Act One, Big Beautapha Bell,
So Running Up, Mom, Donnie, Deep Seek, Government shut down,
(24:15):
and FIFA World Cup and tariffs. In addition to given
into overall list of top searches, Google also looks into
different search categories. Since there's a lot of data and
lists here, a few highlights. Top training people of twenty
twenty five are Mom Donnie Tyler Robinson, and Erica Kirk.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
What interest in.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Category Google offered up was top hum to research, meaning
songs people hummed into their phones to try to identify
the name or artist.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
I didn't even know you could do that. I'm learning.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Top result was Golden from K Pop Demon Hunters. Others
were Ordinary by Alex Warren and Anxiety. I don't even know.
I've never heard of any of those. I'm an old man.
I am old when it comes to movies. K Pop
Demon Hunters was followed by Sinners. Boy, There's Demon Hunters
(25:11):
and Sinners There you Go, and Minecraft Movie and how
Happy Gilmore too?
Speaker 1 (25:17):
What a list.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Got a message from a listener and it's timely asking
me about this NASCAR trial In case you didn't know,
NASCAR is in core against two of its teams because
two of the teams are saying NASCAR is a monopoly
and they're not the revenue shares not enough and basically
(25:43):
we're being jypped. And so this traveler wanted to know
what I thought if I thought that the teams have
a legit gripe from I can't. I'm not going to
read the whole thing to you, but I get the
sense that this person is just now hearing about it
and my opinion, and if you're not a NASCAR fan,
I apologize, but I've said send me messages, send me emails,
(26:07):
we'll talk about whatever. Excuse me my opinion. I think
the teams are one hundred percent right. Think about this.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
NASCAR.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Yeah, it's the series, but it also owns the majority
of the tracks. It forces with this new car. It
forces the teams to buy parts, some pieces exclusively from
parts dealers that NASCAR has a deal with. It's it's
(26:37):
basically they own the whole thing. And then you have
the teams who lease a charter. A charter is basically
my here's my card. I get to race because I
have a charter. You don't buy it. It's not like
the NFL or NBA where a team owner owns the franchise. No,
you own that team, but you're not guaranteed to play
(26:57):
if you don't have this charter. But part of the
reason they're in court, these teams are saying, look, we
should be able to buy the charter instead of having
to lease them. We lease them for five years and
then you change the agreement and you change rules of stuff.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
If we don't want if we don't like.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
That rule, we don't sign on the charter lease, then
you kick us out.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
But if we owned.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
That charter, you couldn't kick us out just because we
disagreed with your rules or the way you're doing stuff.
So they're saying NASCAR is them mo anothlete. Something does
need to be done with the way that NASCAR is ran.
And if you don't believe me, look at the stands
and the TV ratings in the nineties and compare it
(27:42):
to today and tell me that something that they're doing
just fine. Here's the thing. NASCAR wants to be considered
like NFL, NBA, MLB, but they also want to keep
it as a family owned business. Can't do that. You
can't have it both ways. You gonna have to pick
one or the other. So there you go, traveler. I
(28:05):
hope that filled you in on my thoughts on the
NASCAR lawsuit that most people don't even know is happening.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Crazy.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
It's time for the crazy news story of the day.
Today we head to Florida, so you know it's a
good one, y'all.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
What was this dude thinking?
Speaker 2 (28:37):
A door dash driver was caught shoving a straight chicken
wing back into a takeout container after it plopped on
the concrete, then lacking the sauce off his fingers as
he sauntered away, all without warning the customers.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Y'all.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
The disgusted Florida customer Trina Brown shared the ring camera
footage with w XTE shortly after their delivery horror story
at their Orange Park home on Sunday. In the video,
the driver tries to shimmy the stack of food out
of his door dash branded insulated bag, but a container
of boneless wings topples to the ground. That's a disaster.
(29:18):
That's a party foul there. The driver stoops over and
places the lid back on, but one single wing and
some sauce we was splattered on the concrete doorstep. He
then shoves the wing back inside and tries to kick
away the sauce with a shoe because that works. From there,
the driver driver ambles away while licking a dollop of
(29:39):
sauce off his fingers, according to the.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Video, allegedly what kind of term.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
According to the video, Brown told the alley that her
family never would have known one of the wings touched
the ground if it weren't for the security footage.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Why would you not just let him know? Now?
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Brown is pushing for changes to be made to the
delivery process and training. She said, if he can't deliver
food we do care, then maybe there's something else out
there for him to do. Secondly, on door Dash's behalf.
I'm not really sure what the training is, but maybe
it's time to bring the drivers in or require them
to have some type of training. Brown revealed that she
(30:21):
has the order to take out since the chicken kerfluffle. Yeah, man,
knock on the door and be like, hey, listen, I've
fumbled here, this one hit the ground and I've got
some sauce on your step.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Do you mind?
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Can I borrow a paper towel to try to clean
this up? And I apologize about your wing. Just be
a man that this is the problem. We don't have
men anyone. We don't have adults. Everybody's a frightened kid.
That's today's crazy news story, news or nonsense.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Put down that phone.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
Unless you're listening on your phone, then you still put
it down. You don't have to hold the phone to
hear me.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
This from?
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Where is this from? Straight Arrow News? A news source
that I absolutely love.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
By the way, if you're.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Going to give up social media for one week, what
are you afraid you'd miss out on?
Speaker 1 (31:17):
I mean, that's a valid question.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Maybe you afraid you'll miss a cool event in your neighborhood,
or that moment's viral meme, an announcement from your favorite celebrity.
For all the things you might miss, a new study
suggests that you could stand to gain much more.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Check this out.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
According to a team of researchers, reducing your social media
use for even just one week can radically boost.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Mental health outcomes.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
You don't say fantastic from the story. The study, published
Monday in jama Network Open and who among us doesn't
subscribe to that fine periodical, analyze the social media habits
of two hundred and ninety five participants aged eighteen to
twenty four. This demographic not only has the highest rates
of social media usage, but is also at the greatest
(32:06):
risk of developing adverse mental health issues because of it.
Participants were recruited over twelve months ending this march, as
opposed to previous studies on social media usage, which yielded
data sets based on self reported and therefore inherently biased metrics.
Yeah that people lie such as screen time, communication habits,
(32:27):
sleep patterns, and physical activity. This new study employeed a
tracking method known as digital phenotyping to understand user habits,
so they were actually tracking you. What the researchers found
was that on the average, participants, anxiety fell about sixteen percent,
while depression and insomnia dipped nearly twenty five percent and
(32:51):
fourteen and a half percent, respectively. Get off the phone,
I'm talking to me too. Listen With the career I
have chosen, I rely heavily on social media for breaking
news and you know, things like that. So it's not
like I'm out here hanging on every post from a
celebrity or anything.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
I couldn't imagine being that.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
I don't want to call it desperate, being feeling like
you just have to know what someone's doing. So take
a break this weekend, Maybe take a break from your
social media accounts. Not everything you eat needs to be
posted on Instagram, and not every football play needs to
be tweeted about.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
Good news time.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
A quick and easy breath test to take the difficult
to diagnose pancreatic cancer is being trialed nationally in the
UK with huge expectations. Man, how awesome is that you
just breathe into something that can tell you. Pancreatic cancer
has a high mortality grade among cancers up because of
the tendency to discover it in the later stages.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
If you don't have symptoms, you don't know until it's
too late.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
Now, there's never been a breath test authorized by a
major regulatory body like the British NIH or US Food
and Drug Administration, but the initiative has a far bigger
aspiration than simply setting milestones.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
Check this out.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
And analysis of pancreatic cancer across the UK found that
over sixty percent of cases are detected at stage four.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
This point there's not much to be done.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
And indeed, the same analysis found only twenty two percent
of patients diagnosed with this stage survived even a month
beyond it. So that explains why when you hear somebody
is diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, they don't last long.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
It's because they're already gone. They just didn't know it.
And that's sad. But if this works, it could really help.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
I mean, you go to a checkup at the doctor
and he says, all right, and now I need you
to breathe into this and this machine could tell if
maybe there's something they need to check out.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
I'm all for that. Finally, some good news when it
comes to cancer, ladies and gentlemen. We've done it.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
We've survived the week after Thanksgiving break.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
It's a long week, isn't it, But we've made it.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
