Summary
Keith, Jill, and Terry discussed recent events, including a mysterious incident involving Robin’s van being damaged and driven 120 miles by an unknown person. They explored options for securing their property with security cameras and discussed a device called the Harman Spark for tracking vehicles.
News of the Week
Terry tries to share some light-hearted news stories, including a reindeer that escaped from an event in England and a man who encountered a bear while adjusting his security camera, until we realize that Jill Artie shared the stories previously.
Jill shared an unusual news story, about a record-breaking kissing event under a mistletoe in St. Louis. Keith had a story about an Oklahoma state trooper helping deliver a baby on the side of the highway. Terry’s next news item is about a National Highways report of over 40,000 abandoned items found on roadsides in England. They also shared stories about a woman giving birth in a Waymo taxi and a Michigan mother delivering her fourth child in a McDonald’s parking lot, with the baby receiving the nickname “McTilly.” It was a remarkable story of a woman who gave birth in a McDonald’s parking lot, with no complications for either her or the baby, and shared the family’s experience on social media. They also talked about a deer that broke into a Christmas-themed store in Tennessee, causing a bit of chaos before being freed.
Jill’s Weird Words
Jill introduced several Christmas-related words, including “wassail,” “Hanukkah,” and “Kwanzaa,” explaining their origins and meanings. The conversation touched on the Festival of Lights and the Jewish miracle it represents, as well as the made-up holiday Kwanzaa.
The group continued to discuss various holiday traditions and origins, including Kwanzaa, Yule, Christmas, Boxing Day, and Santa Claus. They explored the history and cultural significance of these celebrations, with Keith and Jill sharing interesting facts about their origins.
Terry’s Top 10 List
Terry shared a humorous top 10 list of things children ask Santa Claus for, highlighting whimsical and imaginative wishes. The conversation concluded with a trivia quiz about classic Christmas carols, with Jill participating in answering a question.
Anchor Topic
Instead of our usual segment on blindness related issues, Keith led a Christmas-themed trivia session with Jill and Terry, covering carols, movies, and songs. They discussed various Christmas songs and their origins, including “Silent Night,” “Joy to the World,” and “White Christmas.” Keith also asked questions about Christmas movies, such as “The Polar Express” and “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.”
Email and Final Thoughts
Keith talked about a story from Dudley Renfro about an encounter with a Native American chief. He also read one from a lady who encountered an elderly couple in the park. Finally, we share a voicemail. It’s about Santa having an accident while delivering his toys.
The final word from our AI companion
The group shared Christmas-themed jokes and humor, with Terry and Jill contributing heavily to the laughter. Keith announced that this would be the last episode before Christmas, encouraging listeners to check their webpage for recent shows and to take advantage of an Audible book affiliation link that closes on December 31st. The conversation ended with a reminder of their voicemail number for listener engagement.
