Tease: Coming up in ___________ minutes, more good Covid news  

US Covid-19 cases are down more than 90% from the peak now that half of our adult population has been vaccinated. Global cases dropped 14% last week according to the WHO. Also, Moderna plans to request FDA authorization next month to open up its shots to adolescents after a trial showed the vaccine is safe and effective for kids 12 to 17. Then I assume they’ll start a TikTok challenge to get the word out. (Additional Out) Even more effective than the Kooties vaccine their developing for toddlers.  

Tease: In ___­­­­___ minutes, this major company’s CEO says business travel won’t ever go back to pre-pandemic levels  

Airbnb’s CEO Brian Chesky says business travel won’t ever go back to what it was pre-pandemic. In an interview with CNN he said that the bar is now higher to get on a plane to do a meeting. Adding ‘Business trip that could have been a video call’ is the new ‘meeting that could have been an email.’ Hence why sweatpants are the new khakis. (Additional Out) That no one read.  

Tease: Coming up at ­­­­­­­­­­­­_____, this California town is literally sinking  

Corcoran, California is sinking. The small farming town in California’s San Joaquin Valley has been slowly sinking as agricultural companies continue to pump ground water out. Over the past 14 years Corcoran has sunk as much as 11.5 feet. So anybody with a two story house there now has a basement and a first floor. (Additional out) Or roughly one Shaq plus one Kevin Hart.  

Tease: In _____ minutes, why a Texas woman decided to climb into a monkey exhibit  

A Texas woman climbed into the El Paso Zoo’s monkey exhibit to feed them Hot Cheetos. A viral video posted on Instagram shows the woman, who’s since been fired from her job at a law firm over the incident, climbing into the spider monkey exhibit, standing under a waterfall and feeding the animals. The Zoo director called the woman ‘stupid and lucky’ for the stunt. Hopefully they made her stick around and clean up all the Hot Cheeto pooh the monkeys began flinging exactly thirty minutes later. (Additional out) And I’m assuming since she was eating flaming hot Cheetos, probably a little high.  

Phone Topic/Web Poll Some Dallas Cowboys fans are melting down over the fact that linebacker Jaylon Smith is taking Tony Romo’s number 9. The NFL implemented a change in what numbers certain players can wear beginning with the 2021 season. That caused Jaylon Smith to choose to wear his old college number from Notre Dame, number 9, the same number Romo wore for his entire 13 year career in Dallas. Should Jaylon wear Tony’s number and what do you think of the NFL’s new number policy?
