Tease: Coming up in ___________ minutes, Paris Hilton has a new show  

Netflix wants you to cook with Paris Hilton. The streaming giant has given the hotel heiress and reality star her own cooking show. Netflix describes Cooking with Paris as ‘the traditional cooking show upside down’ adding ‘she’s not a trained chef and she’s not trying to be.’ So, I assume she gets ten minutes in, gives up and lets her personal chef takeover. (Additional Out) I’m just wondering how they didn’t call it That’s Hot with Paris Hilton.  

Tease: In ___­­­­___ minutes, your dog gets you 

Your dog knows what you're thinking. A new study found that dogs have ‘theory of mind’ skills, mental skills that allow them in some contexts to understand what people are thinking. Researchers believe this comes from 14,000 years of hanging out with humans because tests on wolf puppies didn’t show the same results. That’s good, now maybe the dog can tell me what my spouse is thinking. (Additional Out) Another study also found that cats know what we’re thinking too, they just don’t care.  

Tease: Coming up at ­­­­­­­­­­­­_____, Democrats walked off the job in this state  

Texas state House Democrats left the state yesterday in an effort to block Republicans from passing a restrictive new voting law. The special legislative session was specifically called by Governor Abbott to discuss more voter restrictions after state Democrats walked out in the final hours of the regular session to squash a similar piece of legislation. Ah the ol’ taking my ball and going home approach. (Additional Out) As state legislators continue to try and solve problems that don’t exist.  

Tease: In _____ minutes, Pete Alonso proves he’s the best slugger in baseball

Afterwards he called it ‘really special’ adding that he’s ‘the best power hitter on the planet.’ And so humble too. (Additional out) Provided you disregard last season.
