Tease: Coming up in ___________ minutes, Jeff Bezos' Yacht with a Support Yacht  

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos just bought a superyacht that’s so big it needs a smaller support yacht. Bezos has purchased a 417-foot massive luxury yacht from Dutch manufacturer Oceanco for over half a billion dollars. It comes complete with a smaller support yacht that also has its own helipad. Someone had a good pandemic. (Additional out) So basically he’s going full on Bond villain with a superyacht that has an escape yacht.  

Tease: In ___­­­­___ minutes, over 40 attorney generals urge Facebook to stop plans for this  

Is Instagram for kids a good idea? The majority of state attorney generals don’t think so. 44 of them have urged Facebook to stop their plans for a version of Instagram for children under the age of 13. Yesterday they all signed a letter addressed to Mark Zuckerberg asking him to scrap Instagram for kids, citing mental health and privacy concerns. And I’m sure our robot overlord will react responsibly and make the right decision. (Additional Out) Adding, lets at least wait until they're teenagers to give them inferiority complexes.  

Tease: Coming up at ­­­­­­­­­­­­_____, the states with the highest and lowest vaccine rates  

The Northeast is leading the US in vaccinations with every state there giving at least one dose to over 60% of it’s residents. Vermont tops the list with just under 75% of it’s residents. Conversely Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, Wyoming and West Virginia are at the bottom. Mississippi has the lowest vaccine rate having given just 41.5% of adult residents at least one vaccine dose. That’s fine, I have a rule against visiting any state I can’t spell anyway. (Additional out) Turns out there is a downside to politicizing science.  

Tease: In _____ minutes, how much gas will cost if the pipeline shutdown lasts for more than a few days  

Many Americans could be looking at $3-a-gallon gas if the Colonial Pipeline can’t get its systems restarted soon. Over the weekend Russian cyberpirates that call themselves Darkside, used a ransomware attack to shut down the pipeline that delivers nearly half the diesel and gas consumed on the East Coast. President Biden said there was no evidence thus far that Russia’s government was involved. Which is diplomatic code for the Russian government definitely helped, we just can’t prove it yet. (Additional out) IE we’re waiting for our nerds to plan an attack before we publicly blame Putin.  

Phone Topic/Web Poll: ESPN has confirmed that the Jacksonville Jaguars are expected to sign Tim Tebow as a tight end and not a quarterback. The move would reunite the 33-year-old former Heisman trophy winner with his former college coach Urban Meyer, in Meyer’s first year with the team. What do you think, will Tim Tebow make the Jaguar’s roster as a tight end?

A: 4,000  

B: 5,000
