Don't miss these topics on today's show

In the first hour, you won’t believe some of the fake news stories being shared by millions on Facebook, less than a year before the next major election. Plus, a church group made up of young girls used a popular Bible app to discuss scripture, until a sex offender joined. And, forget the future of smartwatches. Timex is going back in time.

In the second hour, just like everything else connected to the internet, smart speakers are vulnerable to being hacked — but with a laser pointer? Plus, when a couple accidentally left their dog in the yard one cold night, the labrador mix used smart home tech to get their attention. And, need your prescriptions fast? There’s a drone for that.

In the third hour, carmakers release futuristic concept cars all the time, but you probably haven’t seen one that comes with a flying broomstick before. Plus, a Russian startup wants to sell you a creepy robot — that can look like any real person, living or dead. And years after his death, a popular actor is making his way back to the big screen.

Kim's watch-worthy video

You never noticed this part of one iconic Beatles song

The Beatles are part of the zeitgeist of America. The Fab Four’s music has been a landmark in the industry for over half a century, and some of those songs have become timeless in their own right. "Strawberry Fields" is one of those songs. What you may not know is that right in the middle of the song, something happens to the music. Once you hear it, it can never be unheard.

I’m loving it: 911 call has a happy ending

Police dispatchers deal with a host of pressing emergencies every day, so imagine the surprise an Arizona 911 dispatch team felt when they received an emergency call from a 5-year-old who wasn’t in trouble at all. The Mesa-area boy believed his hunger was an urgent issue, so he requested the operator bring him a McDonalds Happy Meal. Ordinarily, this would be grounds for the agent to hang up, but Mesa Police had other ideas. The good folks at the Mesa Police Department actually fulfilled the boy’s request when an officer hand-carried the meal directly to the child’s home. The boy’s mother was embarrassed to see police show up at her door for such a strange reason, but the smiling officers thought it would be a good opportunity to teach the child about the right times to call 911. Awwww.

At least the Mesa Police Department didn’t charge a delivery fee.
