Tease: Coming up in ___________ minutes, how long its been since the Bucks won an NBA championship  

For the first time since 1971 the Milwaukee Bucks are NBA Champions. Behind a 50-point performance from star Giannis Antetokounmpo the Bucks clinched the finals series over the Phoenix Suns with a 105-98 win last night. Giannis, who was born in Greece, also had 14 boards and 5 blocks and he’s only the seventh player in finals history to score 50 or more. Move over LeBron there’s a new king in town. (Additional Out) A few more performances like that and Shaq might finally learn how to pronounce his name.  

Tease: In ___­­­­___ minutes, how fast the new world’s fastest train goes  

A bullet train that can reach speeds of 373 miles per hour has debuted in China. The magnetic levitation train appears to be ‘floating’ thanks to an electromagnetic force that sends it gliding above the tracks. In addition to the speed, the train emits low levels of noise pollution and requires less maintenance. Just remember if you fall asleep you’ll wake up 3,200 miles away. (Additional Out) Unless you count cleaning up vomit as maintenance.  

Tease: Coming up at ­­­­­­­­­­­­_____, this fast-food giant is facing a food shortage  

Taco Bell is the latest fast-food place to face a food shortage. The fast-food chain is warning that some customer’s favorite items might not be available. On their website Taco Bell said that because of ‘natural ingredient shortages and delivery delays’ Taco Bell locations might be out of some options. That’s ok, I’m pretty sure nothing I order there has any natural ingredients in it. (Additional Out) Hopefully they’re not out of the hot sauce packets that make their food edible.  

Tease: In _____ minutes, gender reveal leads to criminal charges  

A Southern California couple’s gender reveal party led to an involuntary manslaughter charge. The San Bernadino County DA accused them of starting the El Dorado wildfire last September that killed one man, injured a dozen others and destroyed 20 buildings. The fire was allegedly sparked by an explosive smoke bomb at the couple’s gender reveal party. Reason number 999 that I’m out on gender reveal parties. (Additional out) ‘So good news, we’re having a girl, bad news, we’re going away for awhile.’
