We’re back!  

Joey traveled back from Iowa, Nancy spent time at home, and Karly slept a ridiculous number of hours over the break.  

Today is the last day of class for Professor Nancy's UT class. Instead of holding real class, she is taking all the students to Main Event.  

Monday Morning Wake Up Call with 10-Year-Old Oakley and 9-Year-Old Kendall! 

Karly had to call 911 while working at Fantasy of Trees on Saturday. A man collapsed outside and needed CPR and an AED. It was really scary, and it made her want to renew her CPR/AED certification.  

Hot Tea: Lane Kiffin is officially going to coach LSU Football. 600 frozen turkeys were spoiled due to a truck breaking down the night before Tracy Lawrence was supposed to give them out to families in Nashville. He put out a call for the community to bring spare turkeys, and they brought over 2,000! Riley Green let Charles Barkley come on stage with him at a show in Auburn. Charles praised Auburn and had some choice words for Alabama.  

Joey and his wife Jhasta were super excited about the new season of Stranger Things. Joey wanted to watch it with Jhasta, but she watched it without him because he fell asleep.   

Americans spent a BUNCH of money on Black Friday. Nancy went shopping a little but left because the crowd was too much. Most “sales” aren’t even worth the hassle!  

Lucky 7  

Joey survived Thanksgiving at his mom’s house, even after the drama last week. His mom had agreed to eat at 3pm, but the food was not ready then and they ended up eating way later. Plus, some other drama! 

We are having our 3rd annual Kidsgiving toy drive this Saturday!

Nancy refuses to decorate outside her house for Christmas because it’s too warm outside. However, it’s going to be cold on Friday so she may do it then. Joey needs to get out his Christmas inflatables (the Grinch, Buc-ee Beaver, and a Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cake). 

Nancy’s husband is off work all week, and he’s been keeping himself busy with household chores. He told her that he would be a good “house husband.” 

Joey is headed home to Iowa for Thanksgiving, and he is not looking forward to the weird macaroni and corn casserole his family makes. We talk about other odd side dishes we don't like such as green bean casserole and Karly’s grandparents’ “pink stuff.” 

Nancy is determined to wear a funny costume in the WIVK Christmas Parade. She has been begging Joey for years to dress up in inflatable reindeer suits. This year, she found someone that could make us those costumes out of balloons.  

Joey finally had someone come out to his house and check for mold. Turns out, there is mold in his crawlspace. It is going to cost a lot to fix, so he is going to get a few other opinions before scheduling anything.  

Lucky 7  

Everyone in the WIVK staff except Heather was denied for the Savannah Banana ticket lottery.  All of us want tickets and we aren’t sure how we are going to get them. The Bananas say they are making their own ticket resale site where all tickets would be resold for face value. Hopefully that works out for us! 

We debuted three new Thanksgiving songs! Joey sang “Sweet Pumpkin Pie.” Nancy sang “Any Ham of Mine.” Karly sang “Before He Eats.” 

What Makes You Special? I Own a Christmas Tree Farm! 

Nancy emceed the Knoxville housekeeping games last night. She LOVES the event. Joey thinks we should try to enter next year.

Joey and his son went to the store, and the lady that checked their receipt before they left asked Joey’s son (who is 12 years old) if he wanted her to draw a smiley face on the receipt. They both thought that it was weird.  
A bald eagle dropped a cat onto a lady’s car, and it completely shattered her windshield.  Monday

Morning Wake Up Call with Two 12-year Olds!

A Southwest airline passenger was escorted out of an airport for screaming at a gate agent. The Department of Transportation wants to stop unruly behavior by having people do things like say please and thank you, help others, and dress up to fly.

Hot Tea: Jelly Roll’s wife, Bunnie XO, is going to jail because she has been unknowingly driving on a suspended license. Luke Combs couldn’t get anyone to collab with him on his new album. Former President George Bush called his daughter’s show, Jenna and Friends, “dumb.”

Stranger Things season five comes out this week! Joey is super excited about it. Nancy has been watching a show on Netflix called Absentia and loves it so far.  

Kidsgiving is back! Our third annual toy drive benefiting Helping Mamas Knoxville will be December 6th from 1pm to 4pm at Foothills Mall. Bring new and used toys!

Nancy called Joey’s mom to ask her to move her Thanksgiving time, and it didn’t go very well. 

One Minute with Mike Keith!

Nancy’s daughter’s boyfriend is determined to cook a Thanksgiving dish this year even though he’s never cooked before.

Karly is back from the CMA Awards!  

Joey bought milk but then left it in the trunk of his car. He checked the temperature with a meat thermometer but then dumped it out.  

Nancy says that Joey and Karly are napping wrong. Joey says he can't nap, and Karly sleeps for hours when she naps. According to a study, people should take short naps for no longer than 30 minutes.  

Hot Tea: Two new Frozen movies are coming, and the actors are being paid $60 million each. Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes seem to have broken up again based on some cryptic posts on Chase’s Instagram. Rice University is offering free food, drinks, and beer to people that will come to their last football game of the season.  

Nancy thinks that her dog, Brisket, is jealous of her new baby grandson. He was not happy that the baby was getting all the attention yesterday, and he retaliated by using the bathroom all in the floor.  

Our boss hit a deer on the way home from the CMA Awards. It shattered the windshield and ripped the driver's side mirror off. Thankfully, he and his wife are okay. There have been so many deer related accidents lately. Joey revealed that he once hit a deer while driving his brother’s car.  

Lucky 7  

Joey is going home to Iowa for Thanksgiving, and there is already some drama happening. His parents are divorced, and they both want to have Thanksgiving at noon. He can’t be in two places at once, so he isn’t sure what to do. Nancy wants to call his mom and talk to her about it on Joey’s behalf.
