0:03 Caloroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with five good news Christmas Stories. I'm getting said that we're getting near the end of the Christmas Stories, right, We've got today, Tomorrow's a normal episode, and then Christmas even Christmas Day will be Christmas Stories and then back to our normal Monday, Wednesday Friday format. Hey, good news if you'll like calories, Crumbles holiday cookie has twelve hundred calories. Oh my goodness. Yes, it's a holiday peppermint brownie, the candy cane brownie, to be exact. It's a chocolate treat smothered in peppermint buttercream and topped with candy cane bits. It's just over twelve hundred calories. Foodies say it's Crumbles highest calorie item yet according to the nutritional information, each serving, as if somebody's not gonna eat the whole thing, each serving is only one hundred and eighty calories. Okay, so like twelve hundred divided by one to eighty. We think six people are splitting this thing. No, this is a partnership with Jimmy Fallon.

1:10 That's who we have to blame. Jimmy Fallon declared it the best brownie he's ever had. Some TikTokers are not convinced that the dessert is worth the inches on the waistline. One TikToker said, tell me, who in their right mind, and especially an American, is going to be eating this in six sittings. That is not realistic at all. The entire brownie contains one hundred and twenty grams of sugar one hundred grams of added sugar, which is two hundred and two percent of the average daily intake that is recommended. There are forty grams of saturated fat, which is also two hundred and two percent of the daily recommended intake. That's curious to me that they're both two undred two. That makes me think somebody picked that number on purpose for reasons that aren't clear to me. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention says daily sugar consumption should be less than ten percent of daily colleries consumed two thousand calorie diet. That would be approximately twelve teaspoons of added sugar.

2:04 The crumble brownie alone could be your entire daily caloric intake. Northeastern professor doctor Darren Dittweiler told The Daily Mail if these cookies were firearms, they would be illegal on Pepper Street. A Christmas tree has grown so tall that people can see its lights from miles around. Christopher bought a tree for six bucks in nineteen seventy eight and after Christmas, planted in his yard to mark the family's first holiday together. While forty five years have gone by, the tree is now fifty two feet high. The couples now in their eighties and they still decorated with lights. For the last twenty years. The couples needed the help of a cherry picker to decorate the tree with thousands of lights. It towers over their house. Christopher said, we had no idea would grow so tall, but we're delighted it has. Every year people say the tree switch on marks the start of Christmas. The tree has even been named as a local landmark on Google Maps and has attracted only five star reviews. To help ay the electricity, they contacted the local energy supplier, who threw in one hundred bucks or so.

3:05 She thinks. Oh no, the tree did have it as easy year ago, and they had to have the lower branches pruned and wooden post installed to support it. But it's never looked better. The missus said, we even get holiday cords addressed to the tree, which is quite sweet. Not as sweet as that brownie. All right, I know I've only done two stories, but here Santa Claus sent me some stuff that he wants me to share with the adults, and he wants to keep it as a surprise for the children. So I'm gonna take the break early and then I'm gonna talk about some stuff Santa sent me. And we don't want the children to hear these things, Okay, parents, So if you're listening with the kids, appreciate you kids. Santa's got a surprise for you adults. Hit stop, takes commercials to come back, and I'll tell you what Santa shared with me. Okay, the kids are gone, right, you heard me. This is a safe space now because I gotta share some stuff with the adults. So if you're still listening with the kid, hit stop. Don't get me at me when I tell you these stories. Okay, everybody's gone, Just us adults now, all right. Santa is selling his house on Zillo. Yeah, I guess this is some sort of Zillo stunt built in eighteen twenty two.

4:12 Apparently Santa lives in a two bedroom, two bathroom house on a twenty five acre lot. There's a detached all weather garage that's designed to accommodate a sleigh, and there's a stable for reindeer. The property has two fireplaces built in stocking hangars, and there's an oversized chimney that is fully elf accessible. The Zilla listing reads the kitchen is perfect for whipping up batches of gingerbread cookies and pots of steaming hot coco for visiting elves. Upstairs, you'll find Santa's mailroom and office, a secluded space for letter reading, planning, and researching Who's naughty and nice? I love this, This is fun. Real estate experts value the home one point two million. Meanwhile, people are mad at Bloomingdale's. There's Santa is wearing green. They've done a holiday partnership with Wicked, so the Santa Land at Bloomingdale's fifteen nine Street flagship has been ossified. There are pink Christmas trees, one lollypops instead of candy cane, Wicked team bracelets, and Santa is wearing green not red. I think that's fun, but some people on social media disagree with Johnny Mack. One said just a heads up. If your kids expecting Sanna in this traditional red and white suit, Bloomingdale's is only offering green Santa. We left disappointed without a photo. Someone else posted, there's no reason to have a green Sanna except to promote a movie in an already commercialized holiday. Green sand is stupid. Hard pass. One elf that was working there apparently said, babies take one look at Sana and start crying.

5:38 The elf talt the New York Post. I think it's because he's green. Oh boy, all right. It gets even worse for Santa from Newsweek. Santa Claus has been branded a foreign agent in Russia. A pro Kremlin activist has pushed for Santa Claus to be branded as a foreign agent's According to a Russian news outlet, the leader of the Federal Project Security and Combating Corruption send a letter to Russia's Prosecutor General imploring that Santa Claus be designated a foreign agent due to his popularity and unfriendly countries. You see in Russia, Father Frost and the snow Maiden welcome Russians to the Christmas Train. One of the deputies at a regional parliament has called for Santa Claus items to be removed from store shelves and be replaced with Father Frost and the snow Maiden. Now I was unfamiliar with Father Frost. A quick google here basically picture Santa Claus but in blue. Yeah, they're gonna lose their mind when they find out out about what Bloomingdale's is doing.

6:35 That parliament deputy said it's time to bring Father Frost back to our homes and hearts. This is the only way we can preserve and pass on our children the true values and traditions that make our people unique and strong. I don't think that's crazy. I think every country should maintain their traditions. I support you Father Frost movement. I mean, I don't think we need to ban Santa. Why can't we have everybody? Hopefully I didn't just stumble into a geopolitical thing. I don't know. Everyone just having Merry Christmas, and I hope some gifts show up under the tree, red, blue, green, crompus, whatever you're into. It's all good. Oh boy, I'm gonna get letters, Aren't I not the kind Santa Ga. It's fine. Those are your five good news Christmas stories. I think I hope Merry Christmas. You tomorrow,
