Tease: Coming up in ___________ minutes, the US states that are doing a good job with vaccinations  

Alaska and West Virginia have two of the highest vaccination rates among US states. So far Alaska has vaccinated 13.4% of its population to lead the nation, followed closely by West Virginia, New Mexico and Connecticut. Oklahoma and the Dakotas are also above the national average while Idaho trails the rest of the country with just 6% of residents vaccinated thus far. No pressure Idaho, we’re only talking about the future of our global economy and the human race. (Additional out) So it turns out Alaska is the home of 7 reality shows I watch and an efficient vaccine roll out plan.  

Tease: In ___­­­­___ minutes, LeBron isn’t happy about the All-Star game  

LeBron called the NBA’s decision to play an all-star game in March a ‘Slap in the face.’ After passing NBA legend Wilt Chamberlain in the history books and beating the Nuggets last night, King James told the media ‘I have zero excitement about an All-Star Game this year’ after a ‘Short offseason for myself and my teammates.’ LeBron added, ‘Coming into this season we were told that we were not having an All-Star game.’ I’m with Commissioner LeBron, it’s a pointless game that nobody watches anyway. (Additional out) No word on what Courtside Karen thinks.  

Tease: Coming up at ­­­­­­­­­­­­_____, another company sues Fox and Rudy  

Voting technology company Smartmatic is suing Fox News, Rudy Giuliani and more for 2.7 billion dollars. The lawsuit, which also includes some prominent Fox News hosts and Trump attorney Sidney Powell, claims that the parties involved worked together to wage a ‘disinformation campaign’ that has threatened the company’s survival. A similar lawsuit was also recently filed by Dominion Voting Systems. Hopefully America’s Mayor knows a good lawyer. (Additional out) I’m assuming the line to sue Rudy and Fox starts to the left.  

Tease: In _____ minutes, how a man’s dog saved his life recently  

A guy having a stroke was saved by his dog who dragged him to a phone and licked his face to keep him alert. According to a Facebook post from the dog’s former animal shelter, Sadie, jumped into action when her owner Brian ‘fell to the ground and couldn’t move’. Sadie, a 6-year-old German Shepherd rescue, is staying with Brian’s family while he recovers and the pair FaceTime every night. Hopefully, Sadie will be rewarded with all the treats and unlimited belly rubs. (Additional Out) Meanwhile my cat is just waiting for me to die so she can eat my face off.
