Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with five

2
00:00:13.439 --> 00:00:16.120
good News Christmas stories. The feed's busy this month. We're

3
00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:18.879
going seven days a week, normal episodes on Monday, Wednesday, Friday.

4
00:00:18.920 --> 00:00:20.800
The other day is Christmas episodes. So if you're on

5
00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:23.079
one of those apps that only downloads the newest episodes,

6
00:00:23.399 --> 00:00:25.440
make sure that you haven't missed any. Since December, FIRS

7
00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:27.399
has been going seven days a week. Hey, good News.

8
00:00:27.719 --> 00:00:31.640
Jason Kelsey revealed what he's getting Taylor Swift for Christmas,

9
00:00:31.719 --> 00:00:35.520
and also something for his brother Travis. Jason Kelsey, he's

10
00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:38.399
the one that's not dating Taylor, told Jimmy Kimmel. He's

11
00:00:38.439 --> 00:00:41.520
hoping to give Taylor something sentimental for the holidays, but

12
00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:44.799
he's trying to figure out what exactly to get. He said.

13
00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:48.399
Taylor's a tough person a shop for because she's a billionaire.

14
00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:51.200
She doesn't need anything. He tells Kimmel, it's tough to

15
00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:53.039
shop for people that can have anything they want. You

16
00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:55.679
gotta go to handmade gifts, something sentimental that's near and

17
00:00:55.719 --> 00:01:00.520
dearer them. He's contemplating riffing off the Taylor Swift friendship Slits,

18
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:03.479
which became a fan phenomenon. During the tour, he said,

19
00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:05.439
I think it worked really well. I've got something out

20
00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:07.760
my sleeve. I think a macaroni necklace. It works on

21
00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:09.920
me with my kids very well. Well, if you don't

22
00:01:09.959 --> 00:01:13.840
know what to get, somebody just ask chat GPT. Polly

23
00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:16.319
started making notes of what her friends and family like.

24
00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:20.040
Then she hunts for bargains slowly and carefully. She throws

25
00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:23.480
the info into chat GPT for some recommendations. That is

26
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:26.920
not a bad idea. Perplexity has launched by with a

27
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:30.280
Pro in the US, an AI shopping assistant that will

28
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:34.200
let users research products then buy them on Perplexity's website. Wow,

29
00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:38.239
that's a shocker. Jai Khan is a marketing agency director

30
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:40.920
and says some people start their shopping journeys on Amazon

31
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:43.200
and some people use TikTok, but Google has been the

32
00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:45.439
dominant player. The big thing is what happens to Google

33
00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:48.000
ads if people start going to chat GPT for answers.

34
00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:51.400
Portland says she shops for gifts a year round. It's

35
00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:53.760
very frustrating when you find the perfect gift in February

36
00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:55.480
only for it to be out of production in December.

37
00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:59.799
Shopping year round helps with budget two. Betsy hates the

38
00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:02.079
i of straight to charity shop gifts. She says, I

39
00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:04.480
want my loved ones to feel truly seen, truly appreciated

40
00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:07.159
for their own quirks. The joy when the recipients knows

41
00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:09.000
this is just for them and not a easily grab

42
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:10.879
bottle of wine and a festive gift bag is an

43
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:13.280
unbeatable feeling. And now we all just want to be

44
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:15.960
seen and understood. Isn't that the whole point of human connection?

45
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:19.960
Catherine Jansen Boyd is a professor of consumer psychology at

46
00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:22.879
Angelo Ruskin University and said the reality is AI is

47
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:25.439
a tool that's harvesting dat off the Internet and comes

48
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:27.879
up with two plus two equals four. But it can't

49
00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:31.199
do emotion, it can't do personalization, it can't be quantified.

50
00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:33.360
Having said that, I think it's a great idea because

51
00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:36.560
we often run out of ideas ourselves. Krueger has launched

52
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:40.159
their twenty twenty four Food Angel Tree program. Kroger customers

53
00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:41.840
will be able to provide a Christmas meal to an

54
00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:44.599
Angel Tree family by purchasing a twenty five dollars food

55
00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:47.199
Angel to check out through the twenty ninth. The funds

56
00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:49.960
through the program will also support these Salvation Armies year

57
00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:54.120
round programs and services. Kim Kardashian has kicked off her Christmas.

58
00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:57.400
She showed off her fake tree on her Instagram Stories.

59
00:02:57.520 --> 00:03:01.199
She's set the clip to the song Twinkling Lights. Back

60
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:04.919
in twenty eighteen, Kim posted photos from a lavish holiday

61
00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:09.039
party she and Kanye West hosted. The pictures included flower displays,

62
00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:12.479
numerous fake snowcovered trees, an outdoor light sunnel, and a

63
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:16.520
forest of fluffy, white tree shaped sculptures. A celebrity event

64
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:19.680
planning expert told people that the party likely cost about

65
00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:23.439
one point three million dollars, the sculptures alone costing ten

66
00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:27.280
thousand dollars. Kim said it's like a winter Wonderland Whoville.

67
00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:31.080
All right, now you're in Chickapee, Mass Head on over

68
00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:35.479
to Daily Street. Kimberly Bruno is raising awareness for her

69
00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:39.199
holiday donation drive. She's working with the Springfield Rescue Mission.

70
00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:41.319
Her goal is to provide warm, clothing and food for

71
00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:45.319
those facing homelessness. Kimberly says, we're collecting non pershable food items,

72
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:48.120
canned goods, new hats and gloves for men, women, children,

73
00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:51.120
and new toys for their Christmas dinner. It's a third

74
00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:53.439
year in a row she's doing this. She said. People

75
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:55.479
can donate to her home at any time over on

76
00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:58.879
Daily Street, but enjoy the lights. She says, I think

77
00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:01.280
we donated one hundred of food last year, and we

78
00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:04.080
donated about four or five trash bags worth of new toys,

79
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:06.319
so I'm hoping to get beyond that. But obviously whatever

80
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:08.960
people give is appreciated. She says. She'll be around on

81
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:12.879
Wednesdays and weekends, specifically between five and seven pm if

82
00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:16.720
you'd like a photo. Her drive continues until December fifteenth.

83
00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:19.040
