Tease: Coming up in ___________ minutes, this movie star has cut his hair with a Flowbee for the past 25 years  

George Clooney has cut his own hair with a Flowbee for the past 25 years. The 59-year-old former Sexiest Man Alive told CBS in an interview that he uses the iconic ‘80s vacuum hair cutting device known as a Flowbee to cut his own hair. Adding, “My hair is really, like straw, so it’s easy to cut.” Clooney said the process takes him about two minutes. No wonder he had a mil to give each of his friends, he’s been saving massive amounts of money on haircuts for a quarter century. (Additional out) Makes sense that Clooney would be pandemic proof.  

Tease: In ___­­­­___ minutes, why you shouldn’t feel bad if you accidentally cut off a young alligator’s tail  

Alligators can regrow their tails according to a new study. The animals that date back roughly 85 million years apparently share some traits with their smaller reptilian cousins like lizards and geckos. Researchers were surprised to discover that juvenile alligators also have the ability to regrow their tails up to 18% of their total body length, a potentially lifesaving skill in the wild. I just want to know who’s job it was to cut off the alligator’s tail to conduct this study. (Additional out) And quite the party trick.  

Tease: Coming up at ­­­­­­­­­­­­_____, the best car to buy depreciation-wise  

The Jeep Wrangler Unlimited depreciates less than any other new car after five years according to data from iseecars.com. The Toyota Tacoma, regular Jeep Wrangler, Porsche 911 and Toyota Tundra round out the top 5. On the other end of the spectrum the BMW 7 series loses its value the fastest over five years. Something tells me if you’re buying an $86,000 car you’re not that concerned with resale value. (Additional Out) Especially if it also has a “Honk if you’re horny” bumper sticker on it.  

Tease: In _____ minutes, this White House health official resigns  

Controversial health official Dr. Scott Atlas has resigned from the Coronavirus Task Force and the Trump administration. The move comes as more places lock down with experts fearing Covid case numbers will continue to rise during the holiday season. One bright spot, everyone in the US who wants a Covid-19 vaccine will be able to get one by June according to an official with Operation Warp Speed. Which I refer to as Operation Get Me Outta My Sweatpants. (Additional Out) So in other words, I’ve still got some time to shed this quarantine fifteen.  

Phone Topic/Web Poll: Actor Jonah Hill says the fashion industry ignores overweight people. In a recent interview with GQ the 36-year old actor said, “It’s really hard when you’re overweight to dress a certain way, because clothes aren’t made for people who are overweight to have style.” What do you think, does the fashion industry ignore overweight people?
