Joey and Nancy celebrated the end of election season and joked about finally getting a break from the nonstop political commercials. They also wondered what happens to all those election signs once they're no longer needed. 

The show got into a discussion about gym class after Joey's son claimed kids no longer change clothes for P.E. the way previous generations did. Nancy couldn't believe students might be playing sports in whatever they wore to school that day. 

Joey shared his latest parenting hack: smart light bulbs. He programmed his kids' lamps to dim automatically at bedtime and gradually brighten like a sunrise in the morning to help them wake up without a battle. 

Hot Tea: Dolly Parton's nephew Brian Seaver is fighting the restraining order filed against him by Dolly's estate, claiming his comments are protected by free speech. Megan Moroney is reportedly dating soccer star Christian Pulisic. Five people suffered chemical burns after a bartender accidentally used industrial degreaser instead of sugar on margarita rims at a North Carolina Chili's. 

Emilie from New2Knox stopped by to talk about what's new around East Tennessee. She highlighted The Chicken Sack in the Old City, Ripple Coffee Company in Fountain City, and upcoming holiday favorites like Brother Wolf's Miracle pop-up and Christmas light displays around Knoxville. 

Who Let the Bots Out?! Joey shared that some AI companies are discouraging users from being abusive toward chatbots because models learn from human interactions. He also talked about a humanoid robot being trained as a future caregiver and a laser-powered AI system that can reportedly shoot down mosquitoes in flight.

Joey went to a church event where his introverted side was on full display. While his wife happily mingled with friends, Joey found himself dodging dance-floor invitations, hiding near a support pillar, and wishing he and his wife had a secret code for when he's socially tapped out. 

The show talked about how GLP-1 weight-loss medications like Ozempic are reportedly impacting beer sales. Nancy explained that the medications make people feel full much faster, meaning fewer drinks and smaller tabs at bars and restaurants.

Joey and Nancy Full Show 11-4-26

Nancy admitted she's officially down to her backup socks because her house renovation has completely taken over her life. The bedroom, laundry room, pantry, office, and closet are all torn apart, there are little pathways through the house, and her friend was actually excited to see Nancy's normally perfect house looking like a construction-zone version of Hoarders. 

Joey went to a GI doctor and got stressed out trying to update his family medical history. He realized the information he was using came from emails he sent his parents back in 2013, and a lot has changed since then. His mom even replied that nothing was different, despite several family members passing away or developing major health issues. 

Hot Tea: Dolly Parton's estate dropped its lawsuit against nephew Brian Seaver, although it could be refiled later. Sammy Kershaw said his feelings were hurt after the CMA Awards wouldn't let him walk the red carpet despite the show's 90s country focus. And an Italian chef in Australia got fired after refusing to put pineapple on a pizza because he considered it an insult to Italian culture. 

A conversation about retirement took a wild turn when Nancy shared the story of a "never-ending cruise" where retirees live full-time on a ship instead of in a retirement community. After more than two years at sea, the company ran out of money and fuel, forcing residents in Cambodia to pack up their entire lives and get off the ship with just 24 hours' notice. 

Mike Keith stopped by ahead of Tennessee's big game against Kentucky and talked about Dark Mode at Neyland Stadium, playoff implications, and why this could be one of the biggest Tennessee-Kentucky games in decades. He also revealed that one thing people always get wrong about him is assuming he never played sports, which he says couldn't be further from the truth.

Karly gave everyone an update on life with Luke. The two have been together about seven weeks, they're watching Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy together every night, and this weekend she'll meet Luke's parents and sister for the first time when they come to town for the Kentucky game.  

Nancy was horrified when Joey told her about a cosmetic procedure that uses processed fat from deceased donors. The conversation immediately went off the rails as everyone debated where the fat comes from, how it's collected, and whether anyone would actually want a dead person's fat injected into their body. 

Brian Rice from 99.1 The Sports Animal joined the Big Orange Breakdown and predicted Tennessee would beat Kentucky. He gave the Vols four out of five Smokey Dogs and said the biggest key is avoiding mistakes against a Kentucky team that's built its season on doing exactly that.

New Things in the Knoxville Area in November

Joey and Nancy started the morning swapping storm stories after last night's rough weather. Nancy said driving through West Knoxville was nerve-racking because the rain and reflections made it almost impossible to see, while Joey couldn't get over how intense the lightning was. 

A New York City Marathon runner's death led to a conversation about rhabdomyolysis. Karly explained how muscles can break down during extreme exertion and release toxins into the bloodstream. The whole thing had Joey joking that he doesn't want to exercise anymore. 

A tiny election in Parrottsville turned into one of Nancy's favorite stories of the day. A brother-in-law and sister-in-law tied for a commission seat with 38 votes each, and with only 230 people living in town, everyone was trying to figure out how the tie would get broken. 

Hot Tea: Martha Stewart says Craig Melvin is to blame for her controversial Halloween costume after he spilled chocolate on the sweater she planned to wear. Someone is selling a Jim Beam barstool that was supposedly used by Ella Langley, Luke Combs, Riley Green, and Chris Stapleton. Meanwhile, Coke's CEO says the company isn't exactly embracing TikTok's nickname for Diet Coke: "fridge cigarettes." 

A movie theater in the Netherlands plans to hypnotize people before they rewatch movies they've already seen to find out if they can experience them like it's the first time again. That led to everyone sharing things they'd love to relive, from favorite movies and books to first trips to Disney and rides at Dollywood. 

Nancy admitted she has a consultation scheduled with a plastic surgeon after seeing an AI version of herself with fewer wrinkles. She was surprised by how many friends and family members are trying to talk her out of it.

The planned lighting upgrade for Knoxville's Sunsphere sparked an unexpectedly passionate debate. Joey and Nancy called Sports Animal host Brian Rice, who declared the whole thing a terrible idea and said nobody should be messing with one of Knoxville's most iconic landmarks. 

Nerd News included a Romanian woman who unknowingly used a million-dollar piece of amber as a doorstop, a Florida police department's new flying patrol vehicle that can only stay in the air for about 20 minutes, and scientists in Australia who created a robot dog controlled by human brain cells. 

Group Therapy focused on Megan, whose boyfriend wants her to delete every picture of her ex-husband from her phone. Since the photos include seven years' worth of vacations, holidays, and wedding memories, listeners were split on whether she should keep them or let them go.
