0:03 Calaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with five good news Christmas stories. Well, good news, I have a list for you of the most dangerous Christmas songs. These are the songs you should never listen to while driving. They could cause an accident, according to scientists. Yeah, experts worn against listening to music with a high rate of beats per minute. So what's the most dangerous Christmas tune? It is, of course, Frosty the Snowman. That's right, nineteen fifties. Frosty the Snowman, first recorded by Gene Autry later that year by Jimmy Durante, has been named by insurance Opedia as the most dangerous Christmas song at one hundred and seventy two beats per minute. Really, that'd be a good workout song. Doesn't seem to me in memory to be that quick. Yeah, I don't know really. Max works for the Insurance Guidance website and said as the holiday season approaches, it's important to recognize how music influences are driving habits.
1:07 While festive tunes bring joy, some high energy or distracting songs can impact our focus on the road. The second most dangerous Christmas song is All I Want for Christmas is You by Mariah Carey. Other dangerous songs Felice Navidad, Santa Claus is coming to town, Happy Christmas, War is over. That's a slow song. What let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow, root off the red nose reindeer. I wish it could be Christmas every day. Have yourself a merry little Christmas. That's got like eight beats permitted insurance guy, what are we talking about here? And I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus. So don't listen to any of those driving around. Okay? Are you psyched for the one hundred and sixteenth Newport Beach Christmas Parade. It runs through December twenty second. Gregg's boat has a theme South Florida in the eighties. His boat shoots flames from the deck of his boat. Roughly one hundred boats are signed up to be in this year's parade. One of the bigger boats is the eighty six foot Last Hurrah. This year, it's decorated with a tribute to police, firefighters, parademics, and lifeguards, accented by strategically placed and synchronized LEDs though simulate the reflection of waves, rotating helicopter blades, and flashing sirens. Greg leaned hard into his eighties display on his boat, known as the Snoopy Boat because of the inflatable snoopy that's been incorporated into its decorations since he began participating in the parade fourteen years ago. He says, his boat, the Paradise Found, is a NonStop dance machine, and we bring the party all the way around the harbor. His boat
2:37 also features portraits of Miami Vice actors Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas hanging in pink frames. I would love this boat. This is right up my alley. A couple thought they found the perfect Christmas tree, but wait till they got home. Hayden posted a video of the tree on TikTok. The video has gotten more than listen to this number, twenty four million view use. Says the guy recording a podcast in his basement. I don't quite have twenty four million listeners. I'm trying, all right. Hayden and her boyfriend went to the forest. They cut down their tree in Washington State. Christmas tree cutting in the forest is legal if you purchased permit. Once they arrived, her boyfriend spotted what appeared to be the perfect tree covered in snow. Is difficult to assess how full the tree actually was, especially because they were trudging it through like two feet of snow. Hayden told people, we dragged the tree back to the truck, loaded it onto the bed, and started driving home. When they got home, we took the tree out of the back of the truck. By this time, the snow had melted and it was clear that the tree had lost some branches and transit. We looked at each other in silence, and then laughed, because there was no way this was the same tree we loaded into the truck two hours earlier. Once they got inside, they realized the tree was too tall for their living room.
3:50 They brought it back outside and thought about things for like fifteen minutes. They decided to cut the top of the tree off, reasoning the bottom and the most branches. Keeping the top would help preserve a natural tree shape. However, after they made the cut, the tree was even more awkward. She said. Once we cut the tree, there was no going back. We were fully committed. We brought it back inside, popped a bottle of wine, and began decorating. It was so funny wrapping the string lights around the literal two inch trunk and trying to find branches to hang them on. We had a great time decorating our Charlie Brown tree and using every last branch to hang ornaments. It definitely wasn't what we imagined, but we ended up with a hilarious, memorable tree and a great night. Let me take the break here. When we come back, parents, are you paying attention?
4:33 Santa sent me some stuff that he wants the parents to know about. It's all a surprise for the kids on Christmas, so he doesn't want the surprise ruined. But with us parents, we got to talk. So kids, once you hit stop on the podcast, parents, I'll play some commercials and then we'll come back and I'll tell you what Santa told me. Okay, everybody who's listening to me here, you know what to do. Yeah, don't blame me, hit stop, be right back. Okay, it's just parents now right, No kids listening. You're not gonna get mad at Johnny Mack and be like, hey, I can't believe I was listening to your show. You had a If you're listening with kids, hit stop because Santa shared some stories with me, and I want to tell you two more stories about Santa, but he doesn't want the kids to know. Okay, everybody understands what we're doing here, all right. Archaeologists say they found the tomb of Saint Nicholas. They uncovered a six foot long limestone tomb with a raised lid and pitched roof.
5:23 This was buried near the Church of Saint Nicholas in Turkey. The sarcophagus was found within a two story structure that borders the church's courtyard. One of the professors out there said, the fact that we have found a sarcophagus near the church, which is thought to house's tomb, may indicate that this is the sacred area we've been searching for. The tomb was found in the ruins of an ancient basilica submerged by rising sea levels in the Mediterranean during the Middle Ages. Records show that shortly after the Church of Saint Nicholas was built on top of the foundation to protect the tomb. Recently, archaeologist uncovered mosaic and stone flooring from the previous sanctuary that led them to Saint Nicholas's final resting place. Saint Nicholas lived between two seventy and three forty three a d.
6:03 Stories suggest he inherited money and gave it away to the poor, specifically three girls, to save them from a life of prostitution. However, there's no historical documents. These are only passed down in verbal stories. These name Santa Claus of all from Saint Nicholas's Dutch nickname Center Claus, a shortened form of Saint Nicholas. Pardon my Dutch. Saint Nicholas's bones were believed to have been smuggled to the Italian city of Bari by merchants in ten eighty seven, but archaeologists are now suggesting the wrong bones were removed. The ones that went to Italy belonged to an anonymous priest. Saint Nicholas's relics remained enthroned in the eleventh century Basilica of San Nicola and Bari, though fragments have been acquired by churches around the world, and apparently the Santa didn't go over well in the Great Hall of Winchester, visitors say Santa is not jovial and his beard is blatantly fake.
6:56 This year, Santa was described by one visitor as just a guy dressed up a cheap red suit with a blatantly fake beard. Matthew brought his kids there and said, this guy wasn't talkative at all. He didn't seem very jovial. At ruined the experience. My children were polite, but as soon as we left they were in tears. They knew he was a fake. Lisa visited with her granddaughter and said, honestly, I wanted to laugh. I've seen better Santa's rolling around town on their way to Christmas parties. Unfortunately we got the fake san It was so awkward. No ho ho ho, no merry Christmas. Nothing. The folks at the Great Hall said, it is a gesture of goodwill for any customer who has not yet visited and who booked tickets on the assumption that the experience would be the same as in previous years. We're offering a full refund. Just get another sanded. Guys, what are you doing? Those are your five good news Christmas stories for today? Oh, this is so much fun to do. You have a great day.
