Tease: Coming up in ___________ minutes, who will get the 1,400 stimulus checks  

Under the new proposal President Biden agreed to, individuals earning more than 80k per year or households with incomes over 160k won’t receive another stimulus check. Couples making 150k or less, and individuals making 75k or less, will get the full $1,400 amount. The White House agreed to the compromise to get the Covid Relief Bill through the 50-50 Senate, where they can’t afford to lose a single Democrat. Because of the Senate’s archaic rules that aren’t really rules but the Democrats still follow them. (Additional out) I don’t remember that verse of the ‘I’m Just a Bill on Capitol Hill’ song.  

Tease: In ___­­­­___ minutes, when the world’s first space hotel will open  

We’re just 6 years away from the world’s first space hotel. In 2027 California company the Gateway Foundation plans to open a cruise ship-style hotel to float above Earth’s atmosphere. Called Voyager Station, the space hotel will be comprised of 24 modules that make up a rotating wheel orbiting Earth featuring warm suites and chic bars and restaurants. I’m assuming the room rates are out of this world. (Additional out) As well as sudden death if your window gets hit by a space pebble.  

Tease: Coming up at ­­­­­­­­­­­­_____, what somebody bought at a yard sale for $35 that turned out to be worth 500k  

A small porcelain bowl bought for $35 at a Connecticut yard sale turned out to be worth $300 to $500k. That’s because it’s an extremely rare 15th century Chinese artifact. Only seven such bowls are known to exist in the world. The bowl, which dates back to the early 1400s, will be auctioned off by Sotheby’s in New York on March 17th. So you're saying I shouldn't put this one in the dishwasher? (Additional out) Apparently, the yard sale people should’ve paid more attention when Grandma talked.  

Tease: In _____ minutes, retailers that are keeping mask requirements in place  

Despite mask mandates being lifted in multiple states, many national retailers have already said they're keeping Covid safety measures in place. Kroger, Target, Best Buy, CVS, Starbucks, Macy’s, Kohl’s and Walgreens all announced they’ll still require masks inside their stores because of CDC guidelines. Which should make for some more fun YouTube content. (Additional out) So, we’re back to cashiers having to double as bouncers again.
