30 NOV 2025 · Good morning, good afternoon, and welcome back to Wait...Did You Hear!? — the show that unpacks everything happening in our world, from the surprisingly serious to the downright absurd! In this episode, Dave and Hilary catch up after Thanksgiving week, dive into bizarre headlines, try out two new recipes (with mixed results), review the Book of the Week, and break down the biggest headlines in entertainment, food, and government news.
It’s a big, hilarious, chaotic, cozy episode — perfect to throw on while commuting, cooking, or escaping your screaming children. Below is the full breakdown with timestamps and chapters for your listeners.
00:00 – Welcome Back!
Dave opens the show, Hilary returns, and the two settle in to recap a hectic Thanksgiving week.
Life updates include:
• Hilary officially beginning her new job
• Dave entering Mr. Mom mode
• The ongoing adventures of bedtime chaos
• Dave rewriting Breadman and massively expanding chapters
04:16 – The Question(s) of the Day Dave asks:
- “If you died doing something you loved, what would it be?”
- “What’s your biggest movie hot take?”
Cue: superhero movie arguments, spilled coffee, and Hilary’s eternal indifference toward caped crusaders.
08:18 – The Special of the Day: This Week’s Holidays
Dave highlights the strange and surprising observances of the week, including:
• International Shift Worker Sunday
• World AIDS Day
• Cyber Monday & Giving Tuesday
• National Heather Day
• National Sock Day
• Bathtub Party Day
• International Ninja Day
• National Microwave Oven Day
Things take a weird turn when “bathtub ninjas” enter the conversation.
13:35 – Recipe of the Week (Shephard's Pie Soup)
https://cleanfoodcrush.com/shepherds-pie-soup
Dave and Hilary review this week's first recipe — shepherd’s pie soup — which… did not live up to expectations.
Topics include:
• Why the green beans betrayed everyone
• Why sour cream in shepherd’s pie soup makes exactly zero sense
• Potato debates
• How to salvage a giant batch of soup you now regret making
• Rating the recipe on a 0–5 scale (spoiler: oof)
20:44 – Recipe of the Week 2 (Chocolate Covered Espresso Spiced Pretzels)
https://www.halfbakedharvest.com/chocolate-covered-espresso-spiced-pretzels/
The second recipe gets reviewed — Chocolate Espresso Pretzels — complete with debates on bitterness, milk vs. dark chocolate, and whether pretzels ever deserved this fate.
21:58 – Book of the Week
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/219446263-my-next-breath
Dave reviews Jeremy Renner’s memoir about his near-fatal snowplow accident.
Topics covered:
• Why the audiobook is far superior
• Emotional narration & differences from the print book
• Renner dropping F-bombs and telling mini-jokes not included in the text
• How Lamaze class helped him survive
• Why he calls himself “the worst patient ever”
Final Verdict: 4/5 for the audiobook; 3–3.5 for the print book
26:21 – Wait...Did You Hear!?
The major headlines of the week, including:
• Two National Guard members killed in DC
• The White House lockdown
• JD Vance declaring “nobody actually likes turkey”
• Nursing profession declassification controversy
• How this affects funding, education, and salaries
30:12 – Food & Drink News
• Taco Bell × Hollister clothing collaboration
• Dr Pepper × Johnsonville sausage collab (yes, really)
• Past trauma involving Dr Pepper baked beans
• Why soda glazes make more sense than you think
33:56 – Entertainment & Pop Culture
• Kate Beckinsale claims her daughter’s boyfriend “laid eggs” (???)
• John Travolta recreates Greased Lightning as Santa
• Rush Hour 4 revived… because Donald Trump suggested it
• Knives Out 3’s theatrical release
• Zootopia 2 hits theaters
• Colleen Hoover’s Regretting You hits digital — with thoughts
• Why the book-to-film adaptation feels lopsided
40:30 — Grievances & Gratitude
A segment spotlighting small grievances and small gratitude moments:
- Grievances: Netflix releasing shows in multi-part drops (part 1/2/3) is obnoxious; second-person retold companion books that largely repeat the same story annoy Hilary (Twilight, 50 Shades, some Colleen Hoover examples).
- Pet peeve: Ten-year-old Liam can’t open pop bottles (Dave's complaint).
- Gratitude: A (big) family PS5 showed up in the mail — Dave’s grateful for family time and the boys playing together (contentious but wholesome).
47:53 — Quiz Time — Thanksgiving / Holiday Quiz (10 questions)
- When was the first Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade?
• Options: 1898 / 1924 / 1902 / 1956
- True or False: Benjamin Franklin wanted the turkey to be the national bird.
- Who invented the modern-day pumpkin pie?
• Options: Libby (canned pumpkin), Martha Stewart, Julia Child, Amelia Simmons
- How much has Mariah Carey made from “All I Want for Christmas Is You” (so far)?
• Options offered in-episode

- How much does the average shopper spend on Black Friday?
• Options included $1,000+, $500, $878, $674.
- When was the term “Small Business Saturday” first used?

23 NOV 2025 · In this week's episode, recorded on Sunday, November 23rd, we break down everything you need to know about the world, the holidays, and our lives!
The main discussion centers around the massive news of the week: the US House of Representatives' historic 427-to-1 vote to release the Epstein Files. Plus, we talk about the controversial return of former Smallville actress Allison Mack to the podcast circuit, appearing on Michael Rosenbaum's Inside of You.
On the personal front, one of us celebrates getting hired at a new job , while the other details their frustrating failure at secret shopping for extra cash. We then tackle the age-old Question of the Day: If there was irrefutable proof of God, Heaven, and Hell, would an outspoken atheist convert?
With Thanksgiving just days away , we look at all the related holidays—from National Day of Mourning and Buy Nothing Day to the early start of Black Friday sales. This week's Recipe is a decadent Hot Chocolate Rice Krispie Treat , and the Books of the Week include a fascinating cult memoir by an actress and a mystery thriller about a plastic surgeon's shady overseas job.
Recipe of the Week: https://www.sugarandsoul.co/hot-chocolate-rice-krispie-treats/#wprm-recipe-container-50089
Book of the Week:
- Book 1: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/208840265-dinner-for-vampires
- Book 2: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/219385951-gone-before-goodbye

16 NOV 2025 · This week on Wait… Did You Hear!?, Dave and Hilary recap a wildly chaotic seven days filled with job drama, accidental peanut-butter spit ingestion, cult-talk, holiday prep, and the never-ending saga of their whining dog. From Allison Mack’s first public interview post-NXIVM, to homemade Chex Mix victories, to the neighborhood Christmas-decoration showdown—it's one of those “you can’t make this stuff up” episodes.
Dave also dives into the Book of the Week, revisiting Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s/Sorcerer’s Stone through the brand-new full-cast audiobook. Meanwhile Hilary reviews the Recipe of the Week—a first attempt at homemade cashew chicken that may (or may not) have involved too many cashews and absolutely too much garlic.
Plus:
✔️ The 50-year mortgage proposal—good idea or financial nightmare?
✔️ Anti-Bullying Week, National Fast Food Day, Monopoly Day & more wild “holidays.”
✔️ Government shutdown ends, the penny dies, Starbucks Red Cups, and Wendy’s closes 300 stores.
✔️ Martha Stewart's secret to the juiciest Thanksgiving turkey.
✔️ The McRib returns (but not for us 😭).
✔️ A $980M Mega Millions win—what would you do with it?
Whether you’re here for the chaos, the comedy, or the cashews, Episode 3 has it all.

2 NOV 2025 · The Dirty Dr. Pepper Experiment | Wait…Did You Hear!? 🍒☕
This week on Wait…Did You Hear!?, Dave and Hilary take a wild detour into the world of viral drinks with a concoction that made its way onto their feeds — a “Dirty Dr. Pepper” made with espresso, Dr. Pepper, cherry syrup, chocolate syrup, and half & half. Sounds insane? Yeah, we thought so too. Join us as we taste test this fizzy, chocolate-covered-cherry-meets-coffee experiment and give our honest reactions (spoiler: we were surprised).
We talk about why we’re drawn to weird recipe videos online, what happens when you drive two hours for an overhyped coffee shop, and why trying new things — whether drinks, foods, or even movies — sometimes leads to disappointment, but always leads to a good story. We wrap things up with a chat about cravings inspired by movies and games, guilty-pleasure sodas, and why Vanilla Coke might secretly be king.
🎧 In This Episode:
- Taste-testing the “Dirty Dr. Pepper” recipe
- Why social media food trends hook us
- The danger of overcomplicating simple joys
- Road-trip regrets and coffee shop chaos
- Trying new things — even when they flop
