Tease: Coming up in ___________ minutes, what health experts recommend if you traveled for Thanksgiving  

You should get tested for Covid-19 if you traveled over the Thanksgiving holiday according to top US health officials. Yesterday hospitalizations for coronavirus patients in the US reached a record high of 93,238. Also, the CDC called an emergency meeting for tomorrow to vote on who they recommend should be first to get a vaccine once one is authorized. Something tells me people who sit alone in a room for four hours talking into a microphone won’t be high on the list. (Additional out) I vote people who wear their masks like chin diapers at the grocery store go last.  

Tease: In ___­­­­___ minutes, the strange silver monolith mystery deepens  

The metal monolith discovered in a remote Utah desert has disappeared. The eleven foot tall, three sided mysterious object, that prompted theories of alien placement and drew determined hikers to its secret location, has vanished according to the Utah Bureau of Land Management. The monolith was removed by an “unknown party” sometime Friday night. Read the room aliens, we’re not really in the mood for a mystery right now. (Additional out) In other words the weirdo that put it there to mess with us snuck back in and took it down.  

Tease: Coming up at ­­­­­­­­­­­­_____, Saturday’s exhibition fights result in one knockout and one draw  

Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr’s heavily anticipated fight ended in a draw Saturday but Jake Paul knocked out Nate Robinson. The match between two former boxing champs who came out of retirement for one last pay day mostly involved Jones avoiding Tyson for eight rounds. But, in the co-main event YouTube star Jake Paul scored a vicious knockout of former NBA star Nate Robinson in the 2nd round. But the real winner of the fights was Snoop Dogg for his commentary. (Additional Out) 'Well worth the $50 Pay Per View Charge', said no one.  

Tease: In _____ minutes, how the President Elect broke his foot  

Joe Biden broke his foot over the weekend playing with his dog Major. The President Elect sprained his ankle causing a hairline fracture in two small bones in the middle of his right foot. Biden will be required to wear a boot for the next several weeks. It does seem like the older we get the lamer our injury stories, how did I break my foot? I was playing fetch with the dog. (Additional Out) Something I’m sure the anchors and OAN won’t overreact to.  

Phone Topic/Web Poll: Practice squad Wide Receiver Kendall Hinton played QB for the Denver Broncos yesterday against the Saints. The Broncos were forced to put Hinton under center yesterday after placing all four QBs on their roster in quarantine due to the league’s Covid-19 contact tracing protocols. Hinton finished with just one completion and the Saints won 31-3. What do you think, should the NFL have postponed the game?

A: 50%  

B: 60%
