Monday’s Interesting Headlines | October 19, 2026
Welcome to Simple Joe. I’m glad you’re here.
I’m back on Simple Joe after taking a few days off to fight a head cold, and I’m sharing a little about a quick trip to see my daughter and grandkids, including some quality Grampy Joe time. We’re visiting Buffalo, New York, celebrating famous birthdays, remembering the opening of the first Blockbuster Video store, and talking about Evaluate Your Life Day, National Kentucky Day, and Alaska Day. Then it’s time for Monday’s Interesting Headlines! We’ve got 804 people dressed as dinosaurs breaking a world record, a bear stealing honey from a library on Winnie-the-Pooh’s 100th birthday, a skateboarder topping 90 miles per hour, a mysterious dinosaur fossil discovered on the Isle of Wight, and two guys caught driving a couch down a North Carolina road. Which story should we explore on Thursday? Text me at 513-399-6468 or email joe@thesimplejoe.com to cast your vote. Plus, I’m announcing Daniel from Iowa as the winner of our longest plank contest, with an impressive two-minute, five-second plank. And as always, here’s your reminder to spend time with the people you love, make some great memories, and remember that memories are better than stuff.
