Weekly wrap-up is here!

Woah, it’s Friday! Let’s see some of the happenings this week on the show.

  1. Music! Tons of great music!
  2. TikTok has been sharing the 27-39 challenge. You’re suppose to skip buying lunch and use that money to sock away $27.39 every day, at the end of the year you’ll have almost $10,000 in the bank. (great idea, but who spends $27 on lunch every day?).
  3.  In 2025 Americans spent more than $11 billion on hot dogs and sausages. (cancel my invests on gold, I’m buying stock in Oscar Mayer!)
  4. The number of young adults living at home has continued to rise. (don’t forget, rent is due on the first of the month. Don’t make mom and dad come looking for it!)
  5. Scientists in Romania have dug up a strain of bacteria, that was buried in a five-thousand-year-old block of ice. They said the interesting thing is they can’t kill it. None of our and no matter what they tried, they say the stuff just won’t die. They found that the antibiotics will destroy it. They said as long as that block of ice stays frozen, we should be good. (what could possibly go wrong?)

As always, thanks for listening! Have a great weekend and let’s do it again next week!
