- 2:18Speaker 1: Robes. Everybody could use a new bathrobe this time.
- 2:21Speaker 2: But year I think you hit that point where that

- 2:30Speaker 2: to try to manage this. You know, extra warmth out
- 2:33Speaker 2: of my towel doesn't always work.
- 2:35Speaker 1: You want a robe. You want to go and get.
- 2:37Speaker 2: Dressed and be able to navigate through the house to
- 2:41Speaker 2: take care of that. And maybe it's time for an upgrade.
- 2:44Speaker 2: And I've talked about the fact that you want your
- 2:48Speaker 2: betting your sheets to feel nice because you spend so
- 2:51Speaker 2: much time of your life in your bed. I mean
- 2:54Speaker 2: a third of your day, effectively, a third of your
- 2:57Speaker 2: life is.
- 2:58Speaker 1: Spent in your bed.
- 3:00Speaker 2: More than that, if you really like to just kind
- 3:02Speaker 2: of lie around in the bed, some people do that
- 3:04Speaker 2: throughout the day. So it's nice to get a really
- 3:07Speaker 2: good pair of sheets. You want to get the top
- 3:11Speaker 2: and bottom sheet to be nice sheets.

- 4:14Speaker 2: All right, So it is in fact a Friday, and
- 4:18Speaker 2: that means we start with some good news, some happy news.
- 4:24Speaker 2: That's what we try to do. Give you something positive
- 4:26Speaker 2: before we get into the snark. And we will begin
- 4:31Speaker 2: with this story. Back in nineteen ninety seven, there was
- 4:34Speaker 2: a freak wave that slammed into a cargo ship off
- 4:37Speaker 2: the coast of England, sending sixty two containers overboard, including
- 4:41Speaker 2: one that was packed with nearly five million Lego pieces.
- 4:46Speaker 2: Since then, and this is still ongoing, Lego pieces have
- 4:49Speaker 2: been washing ashore. Making the story even more remarkable is
- 4:53Speaker 2: the fact that many of the Lego sets aboard the
- 4:56Speaker 2: ship were c themed. There's a Facebook group called Lego
- 5:00Speaker 2: Lost at Sea and they've been recording the recovery of
- 5:03Speaker 2: all of these pieces. Last year, a fishermen named Richard
- 5:07Speaker 2: West found what was, to believe, the first of the
- 5:10Speaker 2: lost Lego sharks. I told you they were see themed.
- 5:15Speaker 2: Those following the adventure of the toys marveled at the breakthrough,
- 5:19Speaker 2: as each new piece has set a new milestone in
- 5:24Speaker 2: the adventure. After seeing the enthusiastm the collectors have for
- 5:28Speaker 2: the stuff, Richard decided to sell the shark, receiving a
- 5:31Speaker 2: top bit of five hundred and sixty dollars from someone
- 5:34Speaker 2: in the Netherlands. He then donated the proceeds to two
- 5:37Speaker 2: different charities, Cancer Research UK and the Fisherman's Mission, which
- 5:41Speaker 2: provides assistance and support to fishing communities around the coast
- 5:45Speaker 2: of Britain. Kind of a fun thing, maybe something you
- 5:48Speaker 2: want to start to follow the saga of those lego
- 5:52Speaker 2: pieces all right. During a local election in Monroe, Connecticut,
- 5:56Speaker 2: a Carmine Nuzzy made voting a little SWI. He bought
- 6:01Speaker 2: every box of Girl Scout cookies at a booth outside
- 6:04Speaker 2: the local high school and told twelve year old Molly
- 6:07Speaker 2: Howard to give them away to voters. As soon as
- 6:10Speaker 2: he said it, I was like wow, Molly says. The
- 6:14Speaker 2: eight hundred dollars purchase supported the cookies for heroes drive
- 6:17Speaker 2: sending treats to military personnel, and inspired an extra five
- 6:21Speaker 2: hundred dollars in donations from surprised voters who insisted on contributing.
- 6:26Speaker 2: I've seen so many smiles, Molly said. This fills my
- 6:29Speaker 2: heart with joy. Nice. And you know, just as long
- 6:36Speaker 2: as you're not giving them the cookies so that they
- 6:40Speaker 2: can vote, or so that they will come to vote,
- 6:44Speaker 2: this would have been okay. In Georgia, you just can't
- 6:46Speaker 2: go out there. You can't grab a bus full of
- 6:49Speaker 2: people and feed them pizza and bring them in and
- 6:54Speaker 2: let them wait in line and feed them the whole
- 6:56Speaker 2: time they're there, and in order to secure their vote
- 6:59Speaker 2: for your candidate. That's just the issue that we've run.
- 7:01Speaker 1: Into all right, it is.
- 7:05Speaker 2: Time to move over to strange and bizarre news from
- 7:08Speaker 2: around the world. Appropriate that we will begin in Florida
- 7:13Speaker 2: as local authorities and the Florida Keys have an important
- 7:16Speaker 2: message for Hollywood. Your money is no good here. They're
- 7:21Speaker 2: not trying to discourage Hollywood for making movies in the Keys.
- 7:23Speaker 2: They just want to stop their Hollywood money for being circulated. Somehow,
- 7:29Speaker 2: fake cash used as props and movies has been popping
- 7:33Speaker 2: up in the Keys, and businesses have been accepting it
- 7:36Speaker 2: without realizing it's fake. The one hundred dollars bills look
- 7:40Speaker 2: very real at first glance, but they're actually marked for
- 7:42Speaker 2: motion picture use only. Officials are urging everyone to double
- 7:46Speaker 2: check their cash and don't let a prop bill sneak
- 7:49Speaker 2: into their wallets and cash registers. I've seen this money.
- 7:54Speaker 2: I know that it looks real. You just want to
- 7:57Speaker 2: be you just want to be careful, you don't get it.
- 8:01Speaker 2: Sometimes if you find some money on the ground, you
- 8:05Speaker 2: want to be very cautious and make sure it's legitimate
- 8:08Speaker 2: money because sometimes that fake money makes its way into
- 8:13Speaker 2: places that you got these pranksters. You get these pranksters,
- 8:17Speaker 2: especially on social media.
- 8:18Speaker 1: They like to catch.
- 8:19Speaker 2: People and then when people get ready to, you know,
- 8:23Speaker 2: take a punch, it's a prank.
- 8:25Speaker 1: It's okay.
- 8:27Speaker 2: And I'm not saying that this one justifies a punch.
- 8:30Speaker 2: I'm just saying you got the pranksters out there, you
- 8:33Speaker 2: want to be aware of it and keep an eye
- 8:34Speaker 2: out for that fake money. An elderly Frenchman miraculously survived
- 8:38Speaker 2: three days trapped in a ravine after falling off a bike,
- 8:42Speaker 2: and did so in the most French way possible by
- 8:45Speaker 2: drinking wine. Seventy seven year old had just done a
- 8:49Speaker 2: little grocery shopping with cycling home through the scenic mountains
- 8:52Speaker 2: of southern France. Suddenly he missed a turn, and with
- 8:55Speaker 2: no guard rail to save him, he plunged one hundred
- 8:57Speaker 2: and thirty feet down the mountain into a.
- 9:00Speaker 1: Ravine, landing in the river.
- 9:02Speaker 2: Amazingly, he suffered only a few scrapes and bruises, and
- 9:05Speaker 2: he couldn't climb out of the ravine.
- 9:07Speaker 1: He shouted for help. No one could hear.
- 9:08Speaker 2: Him, but his survival instincts kicked in, and that involved
- 9:13Speaker 2: drinking all the wine he had just.
- 9:14Speaker 1: Picked up at the grocery store.
- 9:16Speaker 2: After three days, some workers finally heard his screams, and
- 9:19Speaker 2: rescuers quickly arrived to save him.
- 9:23Speaker 1: He was cold, tired.
- 9:25Speaker 2: A little drunk, but lucky to be alive. That is
- 9:28Speaker 2: a pretty French way to survive, I think. Police in
- 9:31Speaker 2: Florida responded to a report of a violent robbery at
- 9:35Speaker 2: a home in Saint Petersburg, only to end up arresting
- 9:39Speaker 2: the homeowner. Police say that a woman claimed a stranger
- 9:43Speaker 2: brooke into her apartment and attacked her. She even provided
- 9:47Speaker 2: police with a photo of the alleged intruder. Officers and
- 9:50Speaker 2: canine units searched the neighborhood found no signs of an attacker. Meanwhile,
- 9:54Speaker 2: back at the police station, detectives took a good look
- 9:57Speaker 2: at the photo of the attacker and determined it was
- 9:59Speaker 2: an a I generated fake that was created days before
- 10:03Speaker 2: the reported attack. Police went back to the alleged scene
- 10:07Speaker 2: of the crime and arrested thirty two year old Brooke Shinault.
- 10:11Speaker 2: She's charged with multiple misdemeanors. You gotta be careful with
- 10:15Speaker 2: that AI. You don't want to abuse that AI. You
- 10:20Speaker 2: know you can't do that. You can't have the fake money.
- 10:26Speaker 2: You can't abuse the AI. You can't fake a police report.
- 10:29Speaker 1: That's not good. That's not good for anybody.
- 10:32Speaker 2: A superior court judge in Arizona step down, citing physical, medical,
- 10:35Speaker 2: and family circumstances. It was only after her resignation that
- 10:40Speaker 2: a police bodycam video was released showing her being arrested
- 10:44Speaker 2: for urinating in public. Judge Christine chaff Olsen was seen
- 10:50Speaker 2: popping a squat on Preston, Arizona's famous Whiskey Row, just
- 10:55Speaker 2: steps from the.
- 10:56Speaker 1: Courthouse where she worked.
- 10:58Speaker 2: Police video shows an officer approaching her as she pulled
- 11:02Speaker 2: up her pants and sat on a bench. The officer
- 11:04Speaker 2: called the scene disgusting. Her husband, who is Chino Valley's
- 11:08Speaker 2: Parks and Recreation manager, was also arrested for resisting after
- 11:13Speaker 2: trying to intervene. Chef Olsen was cited for public urination
- 11:18Speaker 2: and will have to appear in court. She has served
- 11:20Speaker 2: on the bench since twenty twenty three. That story started
- 11:25Speaker 2: to pop up on social media a couple days ago,
- 11:29Speaker 2: and I thought this has to be.
- 11:31Speaker 1: One of our stories for Friday.
- 11:33Speaker 2: So hundreds of Maine residents got a pre Halloween scare
- 11:37Speaker 2: last week when they were mistakenly informed that they were
- 11:41Speaker 2: dead due to a computer glitch. Maine Health, the largest
- 11:44Speaker 2: health care provider in Maine accidentally sent out more than
- 11:48Speaker 2: five hundred letters declaring that patients were dead. Living patients
- 11:53Speaker 2: received condolence letters meant for the next of ken, complete
- 11:58Speaker 2: with instructions on settling. A state's main health says that
- 12:01Speaker 2: the patients were never marked as de ceased on their
- 12:04Speaker 2: medical rectors records, but their care therefore was not affected.
- 12:10Speaker 2: The organization has since fixed the problems and apology letters
- 12:13Speaker 2: to everyone involved, saying it sincerely regrets the error. And
- 12:18Speaker 2: I guess maybe you know, like welcome back. I mean,
- 12:23Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 12:24Speaker 1: Uh, I don't know how far you go with that exactly.
- 12:28Speaker 2: A Florida woman named Lori Green found herself in a
- 12:31Speaker 2: bizarre situation where she had to convince the state that
- 12:34Speaker 2: she is not the owner of a garage repair company.
- 12:39Speaker 2: Not many people can say they've been in that position,
- 12:41Speaker 2: but Laurie kept receiving mail for a company called Level
- 12:45Speaker 2: Garage Door, LLC that listed her home address. She also
- 12:49Speaker 2: noticed a lot of cars were driving up to her
- 12:51Speaker 2: house then driving away, so she looked up the company
- 12:54Speaker 2: online and found the website listing her home as the
- 12:57Speaker 2: business's address, even providing drive in directions on how to
- 13:01Speaker 2: get there. Laurie also called the business, but got hung
- 13:04Speaker 2: up on as soon as she asked why her address
- 13:07Speaker 2: was being used for the business, so she reported the
- 13:09Speaker 2: fraud to the Florida Department of State and had to
- 13:12Speaker 2: prove that she owned the home. Records show the state
- 13:16Speaker 2: recently dissolved the company because it does not have a
- 13:19Speaker 2: license to install garage doors, and the website with Lourie's
- 13:22Speaker 2: address was still live, so she may continue to receive
- 13:27Speaker 2: mail that's not good. Imagine checking your bank account noticing
- 13:31Speaker 2: you have an extra eighty seven grand while That happened
- 13:33Speaker 2: to a factory worker in Russia, but now he's in
- 13:35Speaker 2: court fighting to keep the money. Vladimir Richagov was expecting
- 13:41Speaker 2: a small bonus of five hundred and eighty dollars. Instead,
- 13:45Speaker 2: his account showed a jaw dropping deposit of about eighty
- 13:48Speaker 2: seven thousand. He was stunned, but then remembered hearing rumors
- 13:52Speaker 2: about a large year end bonus and assumed, hey, this
- 13:55Speaker 2: is it. His celebration didn't last long, though. The factory's
- 13:59Speaker 2: accounting to apartment called, saying the money was sent by
- 14:02Speaker 2: mistake and demanded it back, but Vladimir said nit and refused.
- 14:07Speaker 1: To give it back. He argued the payment was labeled.
- 14:10Speaker 2: As salary and his view that made it His company
- 14:13Speaker 2: said the cash was meant for thirty four employees at
- 14:16Speaker 2: another branch of the company. They sued, and courts have
- 14:19Speaker 2: repeatedly ruled against Vladimir freezing his accounts. Still he's not
- 14:23Speaker 2: backing down. He's appealed all the way to Russia's Supreme Court,
- 14:26Speaker 2: insisting he's entitled to the windfall. Meanwhile, the company CEO
- 14:31Speaker 2: says they'll use every legal tool to recover the funds. Meanwhile,
- 14:34Speaker 2: Vladimir has already spent some of the money on a
- 14:37Speaker 2: new car and a move to a new city. So,
- 14:42Speaker 2: I mean it's I don't want to take sides on this.
- 14:45Speaker 1: A feel for the guy. I also feel for the.
- 14:48Speaker 2: Person who made the mistake at the company. But if
- 14:50Speaker 2: you buy a car and move to another city and
- 14:52Speaker 2: I assume quit your job when you get a bonus
- 14:56Speaker 2: that wasn't intended for you, I mean kind of suggests it.
- 15:00Speaker 1: Maybe you knew it wasn't yours, right, So.
- 15:04Speaker 2: I know a lot of people who like to shop online,
- 15:07Speaker 2: but they don't necessarily like to support the big corporate
- 15:12Speaker 2: box stores. Online I know it's not really box stores,
- 15:16Speaker 2: but the online shopping can be a little bit tricky,
- 15:19Speaker 2: and some folks are just done with some of the
- 15:22Speaker 2: bad customer service or bad experiences that they've had with
- 15:26Speaker 2: shopping with some of those online retailers. Well, I want
- 15:30Speaker 2: to talk to you about Old Glory. It is a

- 19:16Speaker 2: work done to the outside door. Maybe you need a
- 19:18Speaker 2: brand new garage door completely. Maybe it's making a noise
- 19:22Speaker 2: when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some
- 19:25Speaker 2: sort of insulation issue that you've got with colder or
- 19:28Speaker 2: warmer weather, Sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
- 19:32Speaker 2: Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
- 19:35Speaker 2: add a screen door to your garage door system that
- 19:38Speaker 2: you can put down and you can use your garage
- 19:40Speaker 2: space as a sort of outdoor but indoor, you know,
- 19:44Speaker 2: if you like to work on your own cars in there,
- 19:47Speaker 2: or maybe you just want a little man cavid. You'd
- 19:49Speaker 2: like to be able to open the door up and
- 19:51Speaker 2: not invite all the insects in They can do that
- 19:54Speaker 2: for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
- 19:57Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
- 19:59Speaker 2: trapped in inside your garage and your garage door won't
- 20:02Speaker 2: open and you need somebody to come help, and they
- 20:05Speaker 2: do those as well. Seven O sixty five eight forty

- 20:16Speaker 2: Right after the break, Starbucks launched its holiday menu yesterday.
- 20:29Speaker 2: And it's not the typical drinks that have people talking,
- 20:34Speaker 2: the peppermint mocha or the caramel Breulet latte iced sugar cookie. No, no, no,
- 20:42Speaker 2: it's actually the glass Starbucks barrista.
- 20:47Speaker 1: Barista. I guess it's barrista cold cup. That's what it is.
- 20:52Speaker 2: It's a twenty ounce, twenty nine dollars glass teddy bear
- 20:56Speaker 2: that is wearing a Starbucks green beanie, which I guess
- 21:01Speaker 2: is actually the top of the glass. People on social
- 21:06Speaker 2: media are obsessed with it, scrambling to get their pauls
- 21:10Speaker 2: on one, some offering to fight over them. They're already
- 21:15Speaker 2: selling for three times the price on resale sites online.
- 21:20Speaker 2: So I guess that's maybe the pink Stanley Cup of
- 21:24Speaker 2: the season. It's the barrista got it right that ton.
- 21:30Speaker 2: There's a three by three by twelve rule trending on
- 21:33Speaker 2: social media. It's a wellness hack that sounds simple and
- 21:38Speaker 2: I guess is effective. Fitness coach Abby Overturf suggesting that
- 21:44Speaker 2: doing three things before noon, walking three thousand steps, eating
- 21:47Speaker 2: thirty grams of protein, and drinking one third of.
- 21:50Speaker 1: Your daily water.
- 21:51Speaker 2: The idea is that these small winds in the morning
- 21:55Speaker 2: create momentum for the rest of the day. She says,
- 21:58Speaker 2: if you do those three things by twelve every single day,
- 22:02Speaker 2: you'll be fitter, healthier, and a more energized you. It
- 22:06Speaker 2: sounds simple, it really does. I guess it's worth a shot.
- 22:12Speaker 2: Get your butt moving in the morning, and then you know,
- 22:15Speaker 2: then you got the rest of the day. I guess
- 22:16Speaker 2: to finish everything on your list. Home prices having an
- 22:23Speaker 2: impact on young couples trying to buy, especially the Gen
- 22:27Speaker 2: Z and millennial groups, so that means they're skipping traditional
- 22:31Speaker 2: wedding registries and asking for guests to pay cash to
- 22:34Speaker 2: help them buy a home instead. According to a survey
- 22:37Speaker 2: done by Zillo, thirty eight percent of first time buyers
- 22:40Speaker 2: now rely on gifts or loans from family, and about
- 22:43Speaker 2: twenty percent of wedding registries include a home fund.
- 22:48Speaker 1: So that's a new thing. I guess.
- 22:50Speaker 2: Do you have a favorite spot that you can chill
- 22:52Speaker 2: out at home? Maybe a favorite chair or certain part
- 22:56Speaker 2: of the couch.
- 22:57Speaker 1: Is it your spot?
- 22:58Speaker 2: Maybe it's a hammock in ther when it's warm enough
- 23:01Speaker 2: for that, a certain chair at the table. Basically someplace
- 23:07Speaker 2: that you are claiming as your own and often is
- 23:12Speaker 2: just yours alone. In my case, my recliner, which is
- 23:16Speaker 2: mine unless you know someone else is sitting in it,
- 23:18Speaker 2: which happens a lot. A new survey found that the
- 23:22Speaker 2: average person who has two personal claimed spots at home,
- 23:27Speaker 2: and nearly thirty percent of gen Z and millennials say
- 23:30Speaker 2: that they have three or four of them, and yes,
- 23:33Speaker 2: those they live with usually know not to mess with
- 23:36Speaker 2: the spot. Eighty percent say that others are aware of
- 23:39Speaker 2: the spot, and over half admit they'd be bothered if
- 23:42Speaker 2: someone else sat there. Some even have rules no work allowed,
- 23:47Speaker 2: you can only use it for super stressful days. For many,
- 23:51Speaker 2: it's a sacred space, one for relaxing, unwinding, or and
- 23:54Speaker 2: just joining some quiet time. I mean, it's kind of
- 24:00Speaker 2: the recliner for me is just you know, that's dad's chair, right,
- 24:04Speaker 2: It's Dad's chair, and often I have to, you know,
- 24:07Speaker 2: run a small child away from it and out of it.
- 24:11Speaker 2: And it's one particular small child who's not really that
- 24:14Speaker 2: small anymore. But it's been a long ongoing thing. Other contingency,
- 24:21Speaker 2: when my mother is visiting.
- 24:22Speaker 1: She likes to sit in my recliner. So there's that.
- 24:27Speaker 2: My bride, who is not really a soft drink drinker,
- 24:30Speaker 2: is pretty excited when she saw that there is a
- 24:34Speaker 2: new limited edition flavor for the holidays from our friends
- 24:37Speaker 2: at Coca Cola, called the Holiday Creamy Vanilla. It's the
- 24:42Speaker 2: first time in five years Coca has put out a
- 24:44Speaker 2: special holiday flavor, available now in both regular.
- 24:48Speaker 1: And zero sugar versions.
- 24:50Speaker 2: I'm interested. I'll check it out, she might. She's excited
- 24:56Speaker 2: about it, she wants to try it, but she's also
- 24:58Speaker 2: not really big on committing drinking an entire can or
- 25:02Speaker 2: like she might just have a sip that would probably
- 25:05Speaker 2: be it. According to a new survey, sixty four percent
- 25:08Speaker 2: of gen z Ers are just fine walking around in
- 25:11Speaker 2: public with food stains on their clothes. In fact, sixty
- 25:14Speaker 2: two percent said they've spilled something on a brand new
- 25:16Speaker 2: item of clothing almost immediately after buying it, compared to
- 25:20Speaker 2: just twenty three percent of boomers. They also have the
- 25:26Speaker 2: most likely to have had a messy moment at a
- 25:29Speaker 2: big event. Seventy four percent of Gen Z admits to
- 25:31Speaker 2: spilling food or drink on themselves at weddings or dates.
- 25:35Speaker 2: Only thirty two percent of older adults say the same thing.
- 25:39Speaker 1: So I do. I used to be a lot messier
- 25:44Speaker 1: than I am now.
- 25:45Speaker 2: Although now, granted, you know, I've only had coffee this morning,
- 25:51Speaker 2: so I'm off to a good start.
- 25:54Speaker 1: I guess at this point, well, if.
- 25:55Speaker 2: You're listening to this show, you probably follow the news,
- 25:58Speaker 2: and you probably know that at any given point you
- 26:01Speaker 2: might turn on the TV and see something horrific going
- 26:05Speaker 2: on in the news. And anytime you see that and
- 26:07Speaker 2: experience that, it's hard not to wonder is something really
- 26:12Speaker 2: bad on the horizon. And all I can tell you
- 26:16Speaker 2: is this the time to be prepared for something horrible
- 26:19Speaker 2: that may happen and get everything in order was yesterday.
- 26:24Speaker 2: The second best time to get ready for that is today.
- 26:28Speaker 2: And I've got some good news for you. If your
- 26:30Speaker 2: emergency preparation isn't where it needs to be, you don't
- 26:34Speaker 2: have the things that you need, and you don't have
- 26:36Speaker 2: the mindset and the skills that you need so that
- 26:39Speaker 2: you can be ready for whatever horrible thing could be
- 26:42Speaker 2: on the horizon. And let's be honest, kind of always
- 26:45Speaker 2: feels like something horrible is on the horizon. I hate
- 26:47Speaker 2: to be a pessimist, but it's reality. Kind of always
- 26:50Speaker 2: feels like there's a storm coming, or there's some sort
- 26:53Speaker 2: of civil unrest or whatever it is. Well, prep starts
