00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:12,279
Speaker 1: Caloroka Shark Media. Hey there, I'm shining Mack with five

2
00:00:12,439 --> 00:00:15,080
can News Christmas stories. I shouldn't be laughing at this

3
00:00:15,439 --> 00:00:18,359
or someone because it could have gone sideways. But there's

4
00:00:18,359 --> 00:00:20,879
a TikTok video that went viral. You see. A woman's

5
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,600
attempt to kick off the holiday season went viral for

6
00:00:23,719 --> 00:00:27,559
all the wrong reasons after her husband fell partly through

7
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:32,240
the ceiling while retrieving Christmas decorations. Yeah, the wife posted

8
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,679
this on TikTok and all you could see is a

9
00:00:34,679 --> 00:00:38,159
single leg with a croc shoe still on, dangling straight

10
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,200
down through a hole in the ceiling. You see, he

11
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,759
went up to get the Christmas tree. I don't do that.

12
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:45,600
I make the kids do that. I don't want to

13
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:46,960
go up in the attic. There could be a mouse.

14
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,159
You know how scared I am of a mouse. The

15
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,799
clip has been viewed one point nine million times. One

16
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,039
comment said, sir, I think he deported the loft one

17
00:00:55,039 --> 00:00:58,640
egsit too early. Another said not me, thinking the insulation

18
00:00:58,759 --> 00:01:01,600
was a leg with an amputated When user shared a

19
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,359
story of her father falling through the ceiling on Christmas

20
00:01:04,359 --> 00:01:07,719
Eve retrieving presents, prompting mom to tell the children that

21
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,519
Sanna came through the ceiling. People worried about how you know,

22
00:01:11,599 --> 00:01:14,319
is the husband here? Is he okay? But nope, he's fine.

23
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,239
That's how five good news stories work. So I'm not

24
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,719
gonna tell you the guys in the hospital. She also

25
00:01:18,799 --> 00:01:21,799
shared some real time audio where the husband was still

26
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,400
stuck and said, I don't know which way to go.

27
00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:26,959
I'm actually stuck. People are mad at Prince William and

28
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,719
Princess Catherine. Now we've been talking about this on the

29
00:01:29,799 --> 00:01:32,840
Palace Intrigue podcast. I'm the writer on that podcast, and

30
00:01:32,879 --> 00:01:35,120
we talk about the royal family every day. You see

31
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,120
William and Catherine. The Prince and Princess moved to a

32
00:01:38,159 --> 00:01:40,560
new house, but according to the Daily Mail, the local

33
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,439
Christmas tree shop is just below their property, and visitors

34
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,280
are now being diverted onto a temporary road to prevent

35
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,079
cars from traveling too close to the royals. The detour

36
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,120
adds roughly a mile to the Christmas tree shop, and

37
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,519
some shoppers say the arrangement has created confusion. One person

38
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,799
told the paper, I've already seen a few near misses

39
00:01:59,799 --> 00:02:02,040
were people have driven down the wrong side of the cones.

40
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,799
Another shopper set of car is parked and running both

41
00:02:04,879 --> 00:02:07,760
days with what looked like two plain clothes officers inside

42
00:02:07,799 --> 00:02:11,599
to prevent anyone going inside the lodge's grounds. Apparently there's

43
00:02:11,599 --> 00:02:15,039
a no go zone around Forest Lodge where the royals live.

44
00:02:15,599 --> 00:02:18,319
One resident's frustrated, said, the royal family encourage us to

45
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,599
go out in the fresh air, then they're restricting us.

46
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,719
Palace Intrigue wherever you get your podcast, that's one of

47
00:02:23,719 --> 00:02:26,280
the many stories we're talking about. Actually, today we're gonna

48
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,159
be talking about Megan Markle's new holiday specials, so that

49
00:02:29,199 --> 00:02:31,120
should be a lot of fun. People always react really

50
00:02:31,159 --> 00:02:34,240
well to everything she puts on Netflix. Palace Intrigue wherever

51
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,560
you get your shows. Safety experts say not to leave

52
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,599
your Christmas tree or indoor holiday lights on overnight. The

53
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,240
guidance only use indoor lights when you're home and awake,

54
00:02:44,479 --> 00:02:46,639
switch them off for bed or leaving the house. A

55
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,919
good rule of thumb is to limit indoor holiday lighting

56
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,159
to six to eight hours at a time. Matt Bowman

57
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,240
is a decorating specialist. He recommends inspecting all your cords

58
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,840
for nicks or fraying and discarded damaged strands. If you've

59
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:00,879
got older lights, get rid of them get the new

60
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,319
kind when simple upgrade, they recommend use a smart plug.

61
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,599
A smart plug can automate your lighting schedule and shut

62
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,520
the lights off automatically even if you forget. That's a

63
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,759
good idea, good news if you're looking for an excuse

64
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,520
not to eat your broccoli. Healthy officials in the UK

65
00:03:15,719 --> 00:03:19,759
have issued a broad Christmas safety warning. They're highlighting lesser

66
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,599
known risks tied to holiday foods. For example, people taking

67
00:03:23,879 --> 00:03:26,319
or foreign which is a blood thinner, are advised not

68
00:03:26,439 --> 00:03:30,319
to overeat Brussels sprouts, broccoli and leafy greens, which are

69
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,159
high invitamin K and produce the drugs effectiveness. They also

70
00:03:34,199 --> 00:03:38,000
warn that cranberry products may increase bleeding risk for such users.

71
00:03:38,479 --> 00:03:42,240
The Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Agency also point out that

72
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:46,120
alcohol can impair judgment for anyone using mobility scooters or

73
00:03:46,199 --> 00:03:51,199
powered wheelchairs, which are classified as medical devices. Along the way,

74
00:03:51,199 --> 00:03:53,599
as we head towards Christmas, I'll be dropping in some

75
00:03:53,879 --> 00:03:56,560
gift ideas here. This is just straight up content. I'm

76
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,520
not doing an affiliate deal. I'm not making any extra

00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,599

that's kind of a cool thing to check out. Here's

91
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,720
some under twenty five dollars gifts you could consider. Fans

00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,839
of plush collectibles might like the Pokemon Holiday Snorlax Squish Mellow,

93
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,360
complete with a festive hat and soft texture ideal for

94
00:04:40,399 --> 00:04:43,639

95

add a touch of dark humor with a Squid Game stocking.

96
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,959
Do you have pets, how about the home alone bark

97
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,959
Box Mashup subscription, which brings Kevin McAllister themed toys and

98
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,920
treats straight to the paws of furry family members. I

99
00:04:55,959 --> 00:04:57,759
don't think my dogs have seen Home alone. I don't

100
00:04:57,759 --> 00:05:00,720
know if they would appreciate that. One collector will appreciate

101
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,079
the Hallmark Keepsake Jaws fiftieth Anniversary ornament, which I'm going

102
00:05:04,079 --> 00:05:06,879
to order right now because I gotta get my cousin

103
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,040
something and he loves Jaws. Perfect. It's a good thing

104
00:05:10,079 --> 00:05:11,839
I host the show. I would have known about that

105
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,240
unless I put this script together. If you willing to

106
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,079
go up in price a little bit, There's an Edgar

107
00:05:16,079 --> 00:05:18,759
Allan Poe ornament which leans into the darker side of

108
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,199
the season, and a Godzilla ceramic mug, which I'm told

109
00:05:22,439 --> 00:05:25,319
is ideal for hot Coco, late night tea or marathoning

110
00:05:25,399 --> 00:05:28,879
Kaiju movies. Fans of Star Wars can choose between Hasbro's

111
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:33,160
Holiday Astromech droid complete with Santa accessories, or a Holiday

112
00:05:33,199 --> 00:05:36,199
Stormtrooper outfitted like a reindeer. Those are fun. Do you

113
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,560
like horror movies? How about Black Christmas t shirts and sweatshirts?

114
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,319
Or for the Trekkie in your life, there's the Hallmark

115
00:05:42,399 --> 00:05:46,360
Star Trek Pook card Uss Titan ornament, commemorating the ship

116
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:50,560
before It's controversial rechristening as the Enterprise G And those

117
00:05:50,759 --> 00:05:53,560
are your five good news stories for today. Have an

118
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:54,120
awesome day.
