It’s almost Christmas. Why not add a little holiday cheer to the show. Gareth’s Random Ramblings is doing their annual Christmas series, and we even got into the spirit this weekend decorating gingerbread houses. Of course I’ve still got a “Jackass of the Week” that throws all that holiday spirit out the window.

This week I’ve got a quick-ish spot about the recent storm that hammered my neighborhood. In place of a full feature, for Recommended Listening I mention a couple shows I’ve just started listening to that will get a future feature. I’ve got a “Jackass” who’s affair cost him millions. And I ramble on about my recent epiphany that I’m really just not very good with friends.

I’ve been so busy with podcast editing and working on business stuff that I just did not do much for news research this week. So I decided that I’m going to jump to the new format starting this week. At the same time, I have no clue what to talk about this week. It’s a good old fashioned ramble session. I get into my struggle with not buying new recording equipment, my attempt at a work/work/life balance, sacrificing sleep to get more work done and how I’ve always just run that way. I get interrupted by Sam deciding to change his name for a few minutes, and I get mildly philosophical about my views on calling myself selfless. So much crazy stream of consciousness this week. I get geeky with this week’s Recommended Listening feature, the Sometimes Geek podcast, and declare a bunch of health conscious festival goers the Jackass of the Week.

This week I’m wrapping up my series on the guests for the Sunshine Summit 2018 with Jilanne Holder from the Business Mum Community Facebook Group, Emily Prokop from The Story Behind podcast and E Podcast Productions, Nick Haskins from the Epic Film Guys and RestauRant podcasts, Gareth Thomas from Gareth’s Random Ramblings, and Bandrew Scott from the Bandrew Says podcast and Podcastage Youtube channel. The news brings a whole lot of people that simply beg the question, “What were you thinking?” And I share the harrowing tale that was… digging through my garage.
A 22 year-old man from the UK has admitted to having an addiction to posting selfies on Instagram. He has had thousands of dollars of cosmetic surgery done, and spends 3 hours daily applying makeup for his hundreds of selfies each day.
3 teachers from a Chicago area daycare were arrested and accused of giving their students gummy bears laced with melatonin to calm them down before nap time. They claim they didn’t think there was anything wrong with it because it’s a common over the counter sleep aid.

Since Christmas is coming up next week, and the news has a serendipitous way of picking my show themes, this week I’m talking all about Christmas. Around Our house we don’t exactly do “Christmas.” We celebrate Yule, which is the holiday that most Christmas traditions originate from. The news brings tales of twisted stuffing, Christmas eyebrows, tiny cows and more. In place of a regular “Recommended Listening” segment, I’m serving up a list of slightly twisted holiday episodes from some of my favorite podcasts.
In recent years the SJW crowd has turned their sights on our childhoods. Now different people are taking apart Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer claiming it’s everything from a story that supports bullying and exploitation to claiming he’s a transgender icon. Can’t we just let a cartoon be a cartoon and enjoy it?
Claiming that it will bring her closer to her deceased mother, a woman has announced that she intendeds to mix her mother’s ashes into the stuffing in her Christmas turkey. If she’s already cremated, does this still count as cannibalism?

Hope you had a happy Labor Day, or just a good weekend in general. Now that we have reached the pre-holiday season it’s time to start thinking about holiday decorations, starting with Halloween. Somehow my wife managed to sneak her way into buying a bunch of new spooky things to decorate our house. The news brings a special screening of “IT” stupid eclipse news, and the worst PR response ever. Plus I get peer pressured into this week’s featured podcast, “Gareth’s Random Ramblings.”

Because people are stupid, doctors have reported multiple cases of treating people for putting sunscreen in their eyes to protect them from looking at the solar eclipse.
A Library in Boston recently received several game tokens from Chuck-E-Cheese pizza as payment for late fees.

“Gareth and Bex talk about what has happened in the last week, from big news stories, to the latest movies and everything in between. Honest. One episode they talked about how to stay hydrated in a desert, then went straight into how to have a baby… Yep.”
