TOP 5 THINGS TO KNOW TODAY… on the Freak Show in the Mornings: There is a gender gap in exercise...

A new study found that women typically get less exercise than men. According to a World Health Organization Report, just 33% of women hit the weekly aerobic exercise targets, compared to 43% of men. The report found that overall women were less likely than men to get enough exercise. But it’s not a lack of motivation that stops them – it’s lack of time. Women are often so busy juggling work, kids, and household chores that they barely have a moment to squeeze in a workout. Plus, they tend to put everyone else’s health before their own. So, while men might be out there breaking a sweat, women are more likely to be found multi-tasking at home. Basically, it’s not that women don’t want to exercise – they just need more hours in the day.

TOP 5 THINGS TO KNOW TODAY… on the Freak Show in the Mornings: Toilet Paper Makers Are Scamming You...

Numerous toilet paper brands are skimping on the number of sheets.

Angel Soft, which minimized their product of twelve mega rolls from 429 sheets in 2019 to 320 this year.

And don’t be fooled by the price dipping from $9.97 to $8.44.

“Its price per 100 count increased from 19 cents to 22 cents, meaning consumers are paying 13.5% more per 100 sheets."

Often, brands compare their size volumes to skimpy one-ply alternatives in the fine print.

Another trick some stores pull is showing the price per 100 sheets vs. the whole roll — similar to how snackers will have to determine the calories of an entire bag of chips as opposed to the listed serving size.

TOP 5 THINGS TO KNOW TODAY… on the Freak Show in the Mornings: People Are Getting More Bored...

Digital media use may actually contribute to higher levels of boredom.

Despite the growing accessibility of entertainment, people are reporting more frequent experiences of boredom.

Researchers propose that our reliance on digital devices and the constant accessibility of entertainment could be making us more susceptible to boredom rather than relieving it.

THE SCIENTIFIC REASONS:
**First, they argue that digital media sets a high bar for engagement, as it provides a stream of constantly rewarding stimuli. This pattern encourages users to seek greater stimulation, raising their expectations for what is “sufficiently engaging.” As a result, activities that don’t match this level of stimulation, like reading a book or attending a lecture, may feel boring by comparison.

**Another core issue is that digital media fragments attention, making it difficult to focus on a single activity. Studies show that frequent interruptions decrease satisfaction and lower users’ ability to fully engage in one task, leading to a greater likelihood of boredom.

**Then there is the sense of meaning, which the authors describe as essential for sustained engagement. Digital media, particularly social media and online browsing, often delivers fragmented and disconnected information. This disjointed experience can reduce the sense of coherence and meaning, leading individuals to feel that their time spent online is unfulfilling.

TOP 5 THINGS TO KNOW TODAY… on the Freak Show in the Mornings: Do You Think You're "Cool"? Most Americans Say Yes, They Are...

Someone polled 35,000 Americans and asked, "Do you think you're cool?" Turns out most of us DO think we're a pretty cool person.

53% said they're cool . . . 29% said not a chance . . . and 17% aren't sure if they're cool or not. Men were a little more likely to say yes, and obviously age matters too.

Three-quarters of Americans under 30 think they're cool. Same goes for two-thirds of people aged 30 to 45 . . . 43% between 45 and 65 . . . and even 28% of seniors would still describe themselves as cool.

They also broke it down by where you live, and the results were pretty even across the board . . . except for one spot. You're far less likely to think you're cool if you live in the MIDWEST.

Only 44% of Midwesterners think they're cool . . . 36% said no way . . . and 20% have no idea.

The Sun says a Cardiff, England grandmother is going viral because she charges her family for Christmas dinner. Caroline Duddridge insists on payments from all guests including her grandkids to offset expenses. Fees range from $6 to $18. Caroline starts buying holiday food in October to save money. She previously faced a revolt from family members over the charges. Caroline always defends her actions, saying charges are necessary to keep her festive finances in check. “I’ve been charging for Christmas since 2016. I don’t care if I’m called a money-grabbing granny who takes advantage of her family - people have said worse so it’s water off a duck’s back. I shouldn't have to pay for presents, all the food, do the shopping, cooking, electricity and cleaning. Plus it costs to heat the house when they are there. I’m not being a scrooge. I am being sensible. My festive finances depend on it.”

TOP 5 THINGS TO KNOW TODAY… on the Freak Show in the Mornings: When Should You Put Up a Christmas Tree? Here’s What Experts Say...

Since Christmas is more than a month away, when should people actually start decorating?

Traditionally, Christmas trees and decor should go up on the first day of Advent, or the fourth Sunday before Christmas.

This year it falls on Dec. 1.

In the Christian calendar, Advent is the period before the birth of Christ, which ends on Christmas Eve.

Different countries have different styles, too. For example, in Italy, many families wait until the 15th to put their trees up, while in places like Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands, trees are shining bright by the sixth.

According to the British Christmas Tree Growers Association, no matter the caretaking you provide, you will likely experience dropped needles and dry branches if you hang onto your live seasonal display for longer than a month.

TOP 5 THINGS TO KNOW TODAY… on the Freak Show in the Mornings: Beer vs. Wine and Liquor Drinkers: Which Has The Worst Diet?...

Beer drinkers tend to have worse diets, exercise less and smoke more ci******es than people who drink wine, liquor or a combination.

Researchers compared the diets of more than 1,900 US alcohol drinkers — 38.9% consumed only beer, 21.8% only wine, 18.2% only liquor and 21% a combination of alcohol types.

None of the groups came close to achieving the 80-point score that is considered an adequate diet on the 100-point Healthy Eating Index, a US measure of diet quality.

Wine drinkers scored 55, liquor-only and combination drinkers earned nearly 53 points and beer drinkers posted the lowest score (49).

Beer-only drinkers are more likely to be male, younger, smokers and low-income, the researchers determined, and they reported the highest daily caloric intake and the lowest level of physical activity.

Beer may be a popular choice in places where foods are low in fiber and high in carbohydrates and processed meats.

Wine — particularly red wine — is often paired with more balanced meals that contain meat, vegetables and dairy.

And the inverse is true, that dietary choices influence alcohol preferences. For example, fried or salty foods may inspire beer consumption.
