Lucky 7 for $50 to Farmacy Nancy’s daughter freaked herself out by watching TikTok videos ahead of a small procedure. She was convinced it was going to be painful. In reality, she didn’t feel it at all. Joey cancelled his membership to the chiropractor, but the office made it very difficult for him to do so.

Nancy loved the idea and had people call to audition for her tuneless choir. Joey called his doctor’s office to make an appointment, and the lady was whispering to him. He was confused, so he whispered back. Then, he realized that she wasn’t whispering... she had laryngitis. In the 1950’s, people made predictions for the future (which is now).

Nancy thought it felt eerie on the way to work this morning, and she didn’t like it. Joey got a new ugly Christmas sweater on sale for $5 yesterday. Nancy sent her 13 year old to bed without dinner last night. He refused to eat the chicken pot pie that she cooked and was a total brat about it.

Johnston is waking up to a song from The Goofy Movie and Marvin is waking up to a Michael Jackson song. 130 sober drivers were arrested for DUIs in Tennessee last year.

It is supposed to be a serious event, but she kept laughing during it because of his funny uniform and shoes. What Makes You Special? I am Zeb Ross, the viral clog dancer!

After lots of Facebook drama, it was discovered that the lady in Morristown that “owned” the monkey, wasn’t the rightful owner. The monkey had been stolen from a farm in Alabama and then sold to her. It was caught and is being reunited with its original owners. Lucky 7 for Dollywood tickets Nancy's family took awkward family photos at JC Penney over the break. If you haven’t seen them, go to the Joey and Nancy social media pages! She said they had a blast taking them and that the photographer was awesome. Apparently, over half of the photoshoots JC Penney does around the holidays are the awkward ones. We thought making new year’s resolutions for ourselves was boring, so we each made a few for each other. We all agreed ahead of time that we would not get butthurt about what the others said. Nancy took her Christmas tree down on Christmas day, and Joey is baffled. One of her kid’s friends called her a Grinch.

Joey was late picking up his son Johnston from school yesterday. When he finally got there, Johnston was standing with the principal, who was concerned and had called his mom. In N Out restaurants have removed number 67 from their order system. Each time they called out that order number, it would cause chaos because of the meme.

Nancy got a massage on Friday and was offered aroma therapy during it. She picked out a cinnamon scent and the woman started massaging her.

He posted it on Instagram with the caption: “I let my fans do the talking,” seemingly referencing his recent losses at award shows. A raccoon got into a liquor store, got drunk, and passed out in the bathroom. “Ragebait” is Oxford Dictionary's 2025 word of the year. The word is used to describe content that is created to make people mad or upset, so they are more likely to engage with the content. We decided to do a ragebait experiment where we said that Morgan Wallen went to Central High School. It worked really well – tons of people called and texted us to tell us we were wrong. Lucky 7 We listed out some of our favorite items that would make good Christmas gifts! Joey had another mold inspector come out to his house.

It was just a misunderstanding due to Joey’s introverted-ness. Nancy is a little upset because Kim Kardashian released the “10 KIMmandments” of business and she agrees with all of them.

Nancy wants her whole family to have matching stockings, so she bought brand new ones... plus four extras. She is worried that in a few years she will have more grandkids or her kids will get married and that the store won’t sell those stockings anymore. So, she bought extras and is thinking of buying more. Nancy’s Christmas decor looks like a department store or bank lobby, while Joey and Karly’s houses look more like classic 90s/early 2000s Christmas with colored lights and homemade ornaments. We debated which decor was better. Nancy went to Knoxville Utilities Board to buy her kids gift cards for Christmas. The employees had never sold one of the gift cards before, so it took forever for it to get figured out. Thankfully, all of them were super nice! On the way back from Iowa over Thanksgiving break, Joey and his family stopped in Springfield, Illinois and saw Abraham Lincoln’s tomb. It inspired Joey to go on a deep dive about the tomb, how his sarcophagus was opened once, and what bodies might look like during decomposition. Hot Tea: Lane Kiffin’s dog may not actually be his dog, and he may have left the dog in Mississippi.

We replayed our favorite moments on the phone with her. What Makes You Special? I am a Stuntman! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We’re back! Joey traveled back from Iowa, Nancy spent time at home, and Karly slept a ridiculous number of hours over the break. Today is the last day of class for Professor Nancy's UT class.

Charles praised Auburn and had some choice words for Alabama. Joey and his wife Jhasta were super excited about the new season of Stranger Things. Joey wanted to watch it with Jhasta, but she watched it without him because he fell asleep. Americans spent a BUNCH of money on Black Friday. Nancy went shopping a little but left because the crowd was too much. Most “sales” aren’t even worth the hassle! Lucky 7 Joey survived Thanksgiving at his mom’s house, even after the drama last week. His mom had agreed to eat at 3pm, but the food was not ready then and they ended up eating way later. Plus, some other drama! We are having our 3rd annual Kidsgiving toy drive this Saturday!

Nancy refuses to decorate outside her house for Christmas because it’s too warm outside. However, it’s going to be cold on Friday so she may do it then. Joey needs to get out his Christmas inflatables (the Grinch, Buc-ee Beaver, and a Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cake). Nancy’s husband is off work all week, and he’s been keeping himself busy with household chores. He told her that he would be a good “house husband.” Joey is headed home to Iowa for Thanksgiving, and he is not looking forward to the weird macaroni and corn casserole his family makes. We talk about other odd side dishes we don't like such as green bean casserole and Karly’s grandparents’ “pink stuff.” Nancy is determined to wear a funny costume in the WIVK Christmas Parade. She has been begging Joey for years to dress up in inflatable reindeer suits. This year, she found someone that could make us those costumes out of balloons. Joey finally had someone come out to his house and check for mold. Turns out, there is mold in his crawlspace. It is going to cost a lot to fix, so he is going to get a few other opinions before scheduling anything. Lucky 7 Everyone in the WIVK staff except Heather was denied for the Savannah Banana ticket lottery. All of us want tickets and we aren’t sure how we are going to get them. The Bananas say they are making their own ticket resale site where all tickets would be resold for face value. Hopefully that works out for us! We debuted three new Thanksgiving songs!
