T-Shirts For Turkeys 2025 was such a success that it broke some records. So much so that you might raise your eyebrows when you hear the total numbers! 

It was also good news to hear that the FAA has lifted the restrictions put in place for the government shutdown. 

Google Maps has put in some new features that may entice you to use it. 

Bill is bad at being thankful. Before you raise your eyebrows, let him explain! 

Our eyes got wide when Carmen wanted us to look at her new Russian manicure. She told us all about it and was surprised when she learned Katerina's story as to why it is called a Russian manicure. 

France is seeing an increase in the number of evangelical churches and it is due to a revival effort from Gen Z. 

We often hear that one of the reasons people start listening to us is the format change to Christmas music every year. And that will start next Friday! 

The prices of avocados and coffee has raised lately due to tariffs. 

Dave's got a new Christmas song that is a twist on an old classic that will make you raise your eyebrows! 

And this time of year, the speculation begins on who will make the College Football playoffs. And it often causes some to raise their eyebrows when they hear all the factors that determine that outcome.

Our outreach we call T-Shirts For Turkeys is done for 2025. We're gonna take the next few days to rest up before we share the totals with you on Monday.

If you know someone who is going through a time of suffering, Paul David Tripp has some wise words to reach them. 

Even though T-Shirts For Turkeys is an outreach opportunity for us, it also provides a chance to compete against one another and while the Florida stops were vocal about it, one stop in Georgia blew the doors off the competition. 

Carmen reached out to get some advice on a Russian manicure. 

Here in the States, we reached a milestone with the number of space launches this year. And a group of Chinese astronauts that was stranded on their space station has reached terra firma now. 

The Northern Lights has reached into the southeast US this week and we have some pictures to prove it. 

Danny Gokey and Natalie Grant are reaching the masses with their Christmas music. 

If you know someone that is feeling far from God, Carmen has some thoughts on reaching out to them. 

And Dave shared a thought for Mike Donehey of Tenth Avenue North on how awesome it was for Peter to be around Jesus. 

A dad and daughter were doing outreach work to the people of Jamaica after Hurricane Melissa and were killed in a plane crash in South Florida. 

Our outreach efforts through T-Shirts For Turkeys would not have been possible without the support of  1st Franklin Financial in Georgia and Del-Air in Florida.

T-shirts For Turkeys is sneaking up on us and happens next week! It's a sign of all the holiday happenings as Christmas is already creeping at Martin Manor and Thanksgiving these days kinda feels like it is bookended by Christmas. 

Just in time to watch ESPN and ABC this weekend, Carmen got the Disney bundle for streaming. 

We are praying for those involved in the UPS tragedy in Kentucky earlier this week. And Carmen's daughter is traveling to Hawaii for a friend's wedding so Carmen is praying for smooth travels for her. 

Jules decided to play a practical joke on a neighbor and sneak up on her in traffic. Turns out, it was the wrong neighbor! 

And if you take your kids to a drive-thru zoo, the animals don't just sneak up, they form their own mafia to get the food from you! 

Security has been under scrutiny at the Louvre since several masked men snuck in and made international headlines with their heist. But now, other security concerns at the famed museum are making headlines as they had a very simple password on their security computers! 

Carmen went to the bank recently to open a new account and she looked up at the employee sheepishly to ask if he could give her a new account number that she liked. 

Haley is headed up to Georgia for T-shirts for Turkeys next week and she will be bundled up as they face some very cold temperatures.

41:47 Bill's BIG Word

39 years ago today, Dave officially started his career in radio. It's been a long road and one we hope to not see come to an end any time soon. 

We had a long meeting yesterday and it was so long that it was draining for the creative folks on our staff but energizing for the numbers people.

The government shutdown has gone on long enough that now the FAA is cutting flights at 40 airports across the country. We also learned today that federal teachers are being impacted by the shutdown as well. 

Carmen gets voice memos from time to time but a lengthy 8-minute long voice memo came through yesterday. 

Going through school as a kid, your 20s seem like a long way off. But once you get to that age, you soon realize just how short it was and how much more you have to learn. 

We've got a long list of locations for T-Shirts For Turkeys this year. It's so long we've added a search option and a video explaining how to use that feature. 

Not that long ago, two Americans were stuck on the ISS for a much longer time than anticipated. And now we're learning that a Chinese crew is in a similar predicament. Will there time stuck in space be shorter than the Americans? 

One thing is for sure, that crew will have a long time to enjoy the full moon from a unique vantage point. Here on earth, that full moon will start to go away but it has been awesome to see the last few nights. 

The long dispute between YouTubeTV and Disney continues and now Carmen is trying to figure out her next steps to watch College GameDay and some of the college football games this weekend. 

Not that long ago, Josiah Queen was walking across the stage at the Yeungling Center in Tampa getting his diploma. Last weekend, he performed to a sold out crowd in that same building. And his music is making a big enough impact that he has made the Billboard Hot 100 chart!

43:56 Bill's BIG Word

Being under the cover of darkness is difficult to do with the full moon right now. And it will be even bigger tonight. 

We've got your bad hair days covered around here now that our Carmen's Crewe hats and camo hats are in. 

This week's Midweek Praise Break covers you in the midst of the Holy Spirit with Blessed Assurance by CAIN, Goodness of God by CeCe Winans, and Worthy by Elevation Worship. 

Turning on the TV, it's wall to wall coverage of the elections that took place yesterday and sometimes it can be hard to navigate the days and weeks following. 

We may need more to cover up with at our T-Shirts For Turkeys stops this year with the weather forecasted ahead. 

Schooling covers a lot of what you need to know as an adult but often you can learn a lot in your 20s as well. Bill wanted to know what things you learned in your 20s. 

All the Elf movie fans may want to get their hands on one of the costumes from the movie as it goes to auction soon. 

If you want to watch all the sports this weekend, and are a YouTube TV subscriber you may want to look at other alternatives like Carmen is doing as the feud between YouTube and Disney continues. 

We enjoyed the Midweek Praise Break so much that we brought it around for another chance to listen this morning. And if you are walking through a difficult season, prayer covers it all. And our Prayer Line is available 24/7 if you would like someone to pray with you.

Bill had the experience of walking backwards while out with his wife on a walk. He had heard that it has certain health benefits so he tried it out. Dave hasn't had much experience on his new treadmill as he is waiting for the colder temps to put it to use. 

Carmen reminisced about her experiences at Six Flags when she heard that one of their locations is closing. 

As yesterday was National Sandwich Day, Dave found a recipe for a French Onion Grilled Cheese that he would like to experience. 

Bill shared an article that highlights 8 financial fixes that take less than an hour to complete and it comes from those speaking from experience. 

When it comes to experience, Dental Hygienists can tell you all you  need to know on the best electric toothbrushes and floss options. 

Bill really wants to Dave to experience a Silent Book Club like he did last night. 

As Christmas shopping is underway, some are considering experiences as gifts.
