Tease: Coming up in ___________ minutes, where and when to watch upcoming Holiday specials
With streaming jumping into the Holiday specials mix, there are tons of options to get your holiday fix this year. Apple TV+ will stream the Charlie Brown Christmas special, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer will air December 1st on CBS and It’s a Wonderful Life is again scheduled for Christmas Eve on NBC. ABC will air a CMA Country Christmas on November 30th, Dolly Parton’s Christmas special will play on CBS December 6th and Mariah Carey’s hits Apple TV+ December 4th. Go to our website for the full list. Or you can do what I do and just pop in the Christmas Vacation DVD for the six thousandth time. (Additional out) And pour yourself some eggnog, then remember that its terrible and immediately pour it out.
Tease: In _____ minutes, this NBA star will miss the entire upcoming season
Klay Thompson will miss the upcoming NBA season. The 30-year-old Golden State Warriors star, and one of the NBA’s best shooters, tore his Achilles tendon in a pickup game earlier this week. After an MRI confirmed the injury was season-ending yesterday the team acquired Kelly Oubre Jr. from Oklahoma City to help fill the void. Truly devastating news for Golden State’s handful of fans and millions of bandwagon fans. (Additional out) I’m assuming after they failed to successfully clone Steph Curry.
Tease: Coming up at ______, the CDC’s latest Thanksgiving recommendations
The CDC urged Americans not to travel for Thanksgiving. Instead they suggest we celebrate Thanksgiving virtually or masked, outdoors and six feet apart from anyone that isn’t in our household. That’s also provided the city and state we are celebrating in isn’t in quarantine. Because of the recent surge the CDC says the only safe way to get together indoors is if everyone has quarantined for fourteen days and tested negative. Being that time travel isn’t available to the general public yet that’s probably not possible. (Additional out) But one upside of a virtual Thanksgiving celebration is you can simply mute anyone who starts talking about politics.
Tease: In _____ minutes, some Black Friday online deals that kick off today
Today Amazon kicks off its Black Friday Deals Week featuring 40% off Fire Sticks and a new Roomba for $130 off.

(Additional Out) Giving you plenty of time to return those things you forgot you bought at 3am.
