The house that YouTube built
I once used YouTube to figure out how to fix a toilet. Turns out a family in Arkansas took this idea the nth degree and built an entire house using YouTube as their foundation. The story wasn’t all smiles, but the end product is totally inspiring. I may check out their book when it comes out.
What is the biggest “YouTube” project you have taken on?

Entertainment Update – 1/12/17 “Puppies”
Next week, Donald Trump will be sworn in as the 45th president of the United States, making his big move into the White House. Remember when some of the biggest country stars took over the East Room at the White House back in 2011? Kris Kristofferson, Alison Krauss, Darius Rucker, Dierks Bentley and more took to the stage for President Obama and his guests, and they couldn’t have made the genre more proud.
During the final show of his RipCord tour in Australia, Keith Urban invited yet another fan to join him on stage. 19-year-old Ellen Tefanis had reached out to Keith during a Twitter chat, asking if she could play guitar for him at the show and he obliged. Keith must have a killer instinct about talented fans because, like all the others that have joined him in the past, this girl stole the show.

Good News: 1/12/17
Today’s Good News story starts with a prank that ended with a scholarship!
The University of Michigan men’s basketball team recently played a cruel joke on one of its players … but made up for it with a very happy ending.
A campus police officer walked into the team’s meeting on Monday holding a warrant for Andrew Dakich, a senior walk-on hoping to get some playing time. The officer told him he had been named in “a number of ongoing investigations.”
The stunned Dakich, who is known as a clean-cut, church-going type, was then told to gather his belongings and come with them to the compliance office … where he would then sign the papers to be awarded a full basketball scholarship for the winter semester.
His Wolverine teammates roared and congratulated him. The scholarship is worth about $30,000, which his parents have to be very excited about. (CBS Sports)
Fantastic!!
Things that were racing through my mind when I see two officers interrupt Coach B during a team meeting.. My goodness. Beyond grateful pic.twitter.com/hQrxtQ2F5s

Bets At The Office – A Good Thing?
They happen all the time and in the end, someone is declared the winner, while the other has to ‘pay’ up. They are bets – and often provide good fun in offices across the country.
Co-workers will bet on everything from March Madness to pay-for-play fantasy football. It’s a chance for camarade and good-natured sports wagering.
Trash-talking each other’s favorite teams may seem like harmless workplace fun, but actual betting is illegal.
According to Entrepreneur.com, the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 banned betting on professional and amateur sports in most states.
Penalties can range from fines to felony charges and possible imprisonment, depending on state statutes, the size of the pool and other factors.
That’s why at the WFRE – we like physical labor bets. Like the one Brian Mo had with Dianah Gibson and Katie Ryan. Brian said the Pittsburgh Penguins would beat the Washington Capitals January 11, 2017. They lost! Now Brian has to ‘pay’ up and wash the girls’ cars.
Get your scrubbing arm ready….there is a lot of dirt on salt on their cars:)
So this is happening…
The next fast food freak out is coming out on January 26th at Taco Bell. To be honest, I don’t think that the “Naked Chicken Chalupa” is that big of a deal and really doesn’t touch the Double Down legacy. At the end of the day it is basically one piece of chicken with lettuce on it. It is no Double Down Dog! Now that was a monster.
Are you excited to try out this fried chicken taco thing? It is going to be $2.99

- Shania Twain will get a display at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville this year. The exhibit opens on June 26th and runs through June 17th, 2018.
- Looking at Ronnie Dunn, you’d probably never know that he got his first and only tattoo just a few years ago. And when he came home with the word cowboy tattooed in big lettering on his forearm, everyone who knew him was stunned.
- Brett Young has a new single titled “In Case You Didn’t Know,” so we had to find out something that not many people know about the country newcomer. Turns out, Brett might be one of the tallest guys in country music, but his dog doesn’t mimic his stature.
Good News 01/11/17
Here is the full story for today’s Good News story.
10-year-old Tyler Boone has spent the last two years growing his hair without a haircut, but not as a fashion statement. Instead, his goal was to grow it long enough to be able to donate it to his friend Gabby Ruiz.
You see, Gabby has been diagnosed with Alopecia, which is a disorder that prevents her body from growing her own hair.
So, Tyler grew his hair to 12 inches long – and then recently allowed Gabby to give him the big haircut. The hair will now be turned into a wig for Gabby.
While family and friends marvel at Tyler’s heart of gold, Tyler doesn’t think it’s a big deal, explaining that “it’s just hair” and that he can grow hair anytime. (ABC News)
What a great story!
