Welcome to Simple Joe. I’m glad you’re here.

In this episode of Simple Joe for Friday, December 5th, 2025, I start with a fantastic fact about hummingbirds and their incredible wing speed, sharing how fascinating and fun they are to watch at a backyard feeder. I walk through the weather for San Luis Obispo, California, and Cincinnati, then celebrate notable birthdays like Martin Van Buren, Walt Disney, Little Richard, Frankie Muniz, Art Monk, and Margaret Cho. I highlight the historic end of Prohibition in 1933 and note today’s observances, including International Volunteer Day, World Soil Day, and International Ninja Day. For Friday’s feature, I dive into a clean and family-friendly look at some of the funniest town names in America, exploring what makes them charming, unique, and so much fun to talk about. I close the show with my usual encouragement to make today epic, spend meaningful time with people you love, and remember that memories are better than stuff.
