Tease: Coming up in ___________ minutes, news on immunity and vaccines  

The Covid vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna may provide immunity for years according to scientists. Good news for those of us who weren’t looking forward to a booster shot. Another new study suggests that mixing Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccines, one dose of each, also provides strong immunity. Especially if you chase it with a shot of Moderna. (Additional Out) Great, I’ll have two on the rocks.  

Tease: In ___­­­­___ minutes, this dictator is losing weight and nobody knows why  

Kim Jong Un is losing weight and its unclear how or why. Recently North Korean state media ran a piece about how some citizens were ‘heartbroken’ by Kim’s purported weight loss. Over the past few weeks the dear leader has been shown in state media looking noticeably thinner. Kim Jong Un’s health is a closely guarded secret in North Korea. Maybe he finally realized that being overweight while the population you rule starves isn’t a good look. (Additional Out) So we can only assume he’s slimming down to look good in his new Match dot com profile.  

Tease: Coming up at ­­­­­­­­­­­­_____, the healthiest community in the US  

Los Alamos County, New Mexico has been ranked the healthiest community in the US for the second year in a row according to US News & World Report. Roughly 40 miles from Santa Fe, the county is home to canyons and mesas connected by a 58-mile trail network. But who wants to live somewhere where everyone else is healthy? (Additional Out) Great for jogging, hiking or stumbling upon a body.  

Tease: In _____ minutes, this NFL legend admits he’s a liar  

Tom Brady admits that he’s a liar. On a recent appearance on HBO’s ‘The Shop’ the seven-time Super Bowl champ revealed that he hardly ever speaks his mind during press conferences. Brady admitted that ’90 percent’ of what he says in postgame pressers isn’t what he’s really thinking. I assume what he’s really thinking is ‘Of course I won, I’m the greatest QB of all time.’ (Additional out) A little trick he learned from evil genius and sleeveless sweater proponent, Bill Belichick.  

Phone Topic/Web Poll Mexico is one step closer to making marijuana legal. The country’s top court ruled this week that the government and congress should allow recreational use.
