Solving Homelessness, a $10K King Kong Pinball Machine, and Why Fargo Is Freezing America Solid

This segment tackles the biggest issues and the wildest contrasts of the day. CNN anchor Elex Michaelson joins the show to dive into the question everyone is asking — how do we actually eliminate homelessness? He also opens up about the intense workload and pressure that comes with hosting a national news program and staying plugged into the biggest stories in the country.  The mood lightens as engineer Tony Sorrentino reveals a King Kong pinball machine that proves nostalgia doesn’t come cheap.  Back on the local front, businesses are left scrambling after the sudden announcement that the longtime Fontana swap meet is shutting down, sparking a lively discussion about local culture, reputations, and whether Claremont really deserves its “snob” label — and if you know someone who fits it.  The hour wraps with a holiday reality check as Christmas arrives in less than two weeks, followed by a deep freeze update from Fargo, North Dakota, currently the coldest spot in the country, with brutal subzero temperatures and wind chills that sound downright uninhabitable. 🎄🥶 Taylor Swift Docuseries first two episodes are out on Disney! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
