Tease: Coming up in ___________ minutes, good news out of the middle east  

Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas have agreed to a ceasefire and it appears to be holding today. The truce was brokered by Egypt and comes after a week of conflict left hundreds dead, most of them Palestinians. While the agreement may end the immediate bloodshed, it likely won’t end long-term conflict between the two sides. Because that’s been going on for roughly 2,021 years. (Additional Out) But it will allow the rest of the world to ignore it for a while.  

Tease: In ___­­­­___ minutes, a man survives an attack by this apex predator  

An Alaska man survived an encounter with a brown bear that bit his head. 61-year-old Allen Minish was conducting a land survey near Gulkana when he ‘unknowingly walked up an adult brown bear’. After it charged and attacked him Minesh was able to bind up his wounds and call 911. Rescue personnel soon located Minesh and flew him to a hospital in Anchorage. Where he was treated for his wounds and I assume given a clean pair of pants. (Additional Out) Apparently, lucky for him, he didn’t taste that good.  

Tease: Coming up at ­­­­­­­­­­­­_____, what’s new on HBO Max in June  

The new Conjuring film, In the Heights and documentary feature LFG hit HBO Max in June. See the full list on our website. Horror movie The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It premieres in theaters and on HBO Max June 4th. Followed by the Lin-Manuel Miranda cinematic musical event In the Heights that does the same on June 11th. LFG is a docuseries that arrives in June. It follows the US women’s national soccer team’s ongoing fight for equal pay. Despite being significantly better than our terrible men’s team. (Additional out) So hopefully my ex’s uncle doesn’t change his HBO Max password anytime soon.  

Tease: In _____ minutes, the feds crack down on this Tiger King star  

Federal law enforcement officials have seized 68 big cats from Jeffrey and Lauren Lowe’s Thackerville, Oklahoma Zoo. The Lowe’s who appeared in the Tiger King docuseries have been accused of mistreating the animals. The animals seized include 46 tigers, 7 lions, a jaguar and 15 lion-tiger hybrids. So it looks like Carole Baskin is gonna get some Ligers. (Additional out) As Jeff Lowe lobbies hard to be the sketchiest character in a show filled with nothing but sketchy characters.  

Phone Topic/Web Poll: Pringles has teamed up with Wendy’s for a spicy chicken sandwich chip. According to the press release the chip mixes the ‘fiery spice blend’ of the chicken sandwich with the ‘perfectly crunchy convenient bite’ of a Pringles. The combination hits shelves in June and is only on sale for a limited time. What’s your over-all favorite Pringles chip flavor? Original, Ranch, Cheddar Cheese, Sour Cream & Onion, Buffalo Ranch, Pizza, Salt & Vinegar, BBQ or something else?
