\u27a2 A COVID\u00a0patient<\/a>\u00a0with swastika tattoos all over his body recently showed up at a hospital in Sacramento in serious condition.\u00a0 And here’s why medical professionals are so amazing:\u00a0 His doctor is Jewish . . . his nurse is Black . . . and his respiratory therapist is Asian.\u00a0 And they’re still doing everything they can to save his life.\u00a0 (Here’s Dr. Taylor Nichols talking about it.)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u27a2 A meteor crashed through the Earth’s atmosphere causing a thunderous boom and a brilliant flash of light over Lake Ontario. The meteor broke into pieces 22 miles above land somewhere between Rochester and Syracuse. The sonic boom reportedly could be heard across much of New York State in in parts of Canada.\u00a0Bill Cooke<\/strong>, head of NASA’s Meteoroid Environment Office, told NBC News that the event was extremely unusual. Most meteors just drop into the ocean somewhere far from land.<\/p>\n

\u27a2 Another monolith\u00a0was<\/a>\u00a0found in Atascadero, California this week, about halfway between L.A. and San Francisco.\u00a0 The local news talked to some hikers who came across it.\u00a0 A bunch of jerks eventually\u00a0tore it down<\/a>\u00a0in the middle of the night.\u00a0 (One of the hikers said he thought the same monolith from Utah must have “landed” there.)<\/p>\n

\u27a2A thief in Hawaii\u00a0walked<\/a>\u00a0into a guy’s house while he was home last week . . . stole a ukulele off the wall . . . and was caught playing it in a park the next day.\u00a0 (Here’s the owner talking about it.\u00a0 Note his traditional pronunciation of “ukulele.”)<\/p>\n

(For the ukulele story, here’s a version of the “Hawaii 5-0” theme, but played with ukuleles.\u00a0 Quick Hawaiian lesson, it’s pronounced oo-koo-lay-lay)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u27a2 Expect wait staff to fight over who gets to serve Donnie Wahlberg the next time he walks into a restaurant. That\u2019s to be expected after he recently left a $2,020 tip on a $35 bill after dining in Plymouth, Massachusetts, near his hometown of Boston. The restaurant owner said that Wahlberg always asks for the same server when he eats there, and enjoyed his normal order: steak tips with some grilled asparagus and some poached eggs. His favorite server, Denise, shared the tip with her co-workers.<\/p>\n

\n<\/u>Someone asked people to name the weirdest incorrect terms their kids have used to describe things.<\/p>\n

\u27a2 \u201cWhen my son was younger, we didn\u2019t buy soda (Coke, Pepsi), so when we went to restaurants, he would ask for \u2018black juice.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

SECONDHAND CLOTHING SALES ARE BOOMING <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

The secondhand clothing market is projected to more than triple in value in the next 10 years, it\u2019s currently worth $28 billion, and is expected to be worth $80 billion by 2029.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Right now, the secondhand clothing market is composed of two major categories, thrift stores and resale platforms, but it\u2019s the latter that has largely fueled the recent boom. It\u2019s driven by younger consumers who also sometimes participate in a trend known as \u201cfashion flipping\u201d\u2014or buy secondhand clothes and then resell them.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are websites that facilitate peer-to-peer exchange of everyday clothing, and are quickly becoming the next big thing in the fashion industry.<\/p>\n

          METEOR OVER JAPAN LIGHTS UP NIGHT SKY <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

          You never know what type of magic could be happening overhead. A meteor streaked over Japan on Sunday morning (November 29th) and the object was caught on video in various locations. Experts say the fireball was classified as a bolide, an unusually bright meteor, and this one produced a burst of light as bright as a full moon.<\/p>\n

          FLORIDA GEORGIA LINE ‘FUELED’ BY LATEST CAREER ACHIEVEMENT <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

          Florida Georgia Line<\/strong>\u00a0recently became the only country artists in the 62-year history of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) to have a second song sell over 10 million copies and reach Diamond certification. The first song they achieved that status with was \u201cCruise\u201d back in 2016. This time around it’s with \u201cMeant to Be\u201d with\u00a0Bebe Rexha<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

          Tyler Hubbard\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Brian Kelley\u00a0<\/strong>were recently honored for the achievement during a typical 2020 Zoom celebration. Tyler told those gathered online that this feat was fuel for their fire to set and break records.\u00a0[\u201cFor me, it\u2019s like, it\u2019s always inspiring.\u00a0 It\u2019s always like, oh wow, the possibility\u2019s there.\u00a0 Let\u2019s try to beat that.\u00a0 Let\u2019s try to beat that.\u00a0 Let\u2019s see what we can do.\u00a0 I think it\u2019s important to sit back and take it in for a second and let it motivate.\u00a0 It really does. It fuels me for sure, and I know that it fuels BK, and I think it\u2019s that song high that we continue to chase day in and day out.\u00a0 It\u2019s just in our blood.\u00a0 It\u2019s who we are and when they blow up it just makes them special.\u201d]<\/p>\n

          THOMAS RHETT GOT PAYBACK ON A FISHING TRIP<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

          Thomas Rhett<\/strong>\u00a0says he got a taste of karma earlier this year when he accidentally caught himself while fly fishing on a family trip to Colorado. He tells us that he sought his wife\u00a0Lauren<\/strong>‘s expertise as a nurse as to what to do at the time of the mishap, but he already had a little so-called pain killer in his system.<\/p>\n

          Thomas explains:\u00a0[\u201cWell, I\u2019d had three or four Miller Lights, let\u2019s just preface it with that.\u00a0 And I was trying to cast into the wind, and I\u2019m not a super-experienced fly fisherman and so when I casted back and went forward, the wind took it and just whipped it right into the back of my leg.\u00a0 And I started limping over to my wife and I was like, \u2018So what do I need to do?\u2019\u00a0 She\u2019s like, \u2018You\u2019re gonna have to push it through the other side,’ but thank you for Miller Lite because I think it would have been a lot more painful without it.\u00a0 I honestly think it\u2019s payback cause my grandfather was the one that taught me how to fish \u2013 and there was one time when I was about nine years old that I slung my rod back and I hooked him right in the neck with a treble hook.\u00a0 I watched a doctor pull it out, and so when I hooked myself right in the back of the leg, I looked at the sky and said, \u2018God, I deserve every bit of this.\u2019\u201d]<\/p>\n

          Thomas and Lauren co-hosted ABC’s\u00a0CMA Country Christmas<\/em>\u00a0earlier this week where he performed a song called “Christmas In The Country.”<\/p>\n
