Today's Trendzone starts with Wheel of Fortune.  Yeah, that heritage game show had a bit of a screw up when Vanna White spun the wheel for the first time in her career.  She's filling in for Pat Sajak, who's currently recovering from surgery.  We forgive her.

 

Bull asked listeners about goofy ornaments.  It seems like every holiday season, Christmas tree decorations are getting more and more elaborate, goofy, or simply embarrassing.  And boy, did you not disappoint.  Hear from caller Sam, who remembers visiting a friend's house where they put deer WHAT on their tree?!  Listen for answers.

After the "Did You Know Minute", today's Trendzone features a simply stupid amount of money fetched at auction for a banana duct taped to a wall.  Apparently this "art" installation earned someone over $100,000.  Our country is doomed.
