Tease: A record was set last night in the Democratic debate, I’ll tell you what in ______ minutes
Last night there were twelve candidates on stage at once during the Democratic Presidential Debate, setting a record. The CNN, New York times debate saw new front runner Senator Elizabeth Warren fielding much of the incoming fire and very little aimed at former VP Joe Biden after his recent slip in the polls. For three long hours three people who might be President, two who could be Vice President and seven who don’t stand a chance said “Let me be clear” a lot. (Additional Out) My favorite part was when the moderators asked several of the top candidates if they were going to die soon.
Tease: This famous prisoner might finally get a new trial. I’ll tell you which in ______ minutes
Steven Avery, possibly the world’s dumbest guy that may or may not be guilty, is trying to get a new trial. The convicted murderer featured in the popular Netflix series “Making a Murderer” could be getting a new trial after his attorney filed a 135 page brief with the Wisconsin Appeals Court. Kathleen Zellner, the now 57 year old’s attorney, tweeted recently “We look forward to the first unbiased, fair and competent review of the issues.” So, I guess soon we’ll all get to sit through another thirteen-hour series that, spoiler alert, doesn’t really tell us if he’s guilty (Additional Out) In this day and age I don’t think you should call anything that’s over a hundred pages a brief.
Tease: Coming up at ______ I’ll tell you which call the NFL admits to screwing up.
An executive for the sports league we all love to hate, the NFL, admits that the refs made an error in the Packers-Lions game on Monday. Troy Vincent, the NFL VP of Operations, admitted that the refs messed up the second hands to the face call in the fourth quarter of Monday Night Football while at an owners meeting in Florida. The call was one of two that basically cost the Lions the game. Vincent added, our bad, anyway we’re all human… except of course for Jerry Jones over here who’s basically all fake skin and a hair piece now.
Tease: What did a really smart person say humans will never do? A) Go to war with robots, B) Live on another planet or C) Get flying cars. I’ll tell you coming up at ________
A Nobel Laureate Astrophysicist, who probably brings up that title frequently, just said that humans will never live on another planet. 77 year old Swiss Astrophysicist Michael Mayor, made famous for discovering a new planet, said we’ll never live on another planet because all the livable ones are too far away. I humbly disagree, based on all my extensive research, IE watching tons of sci-fi movies, it’s definitely possible. (Additional out) That’s the problem with super nerds, they’re too smart to dream big.
Phone Topic: An underage student was arrested for trying to get into a bar using a “McLovin” ID recently. He appeared to handle it pretty well since he was grinning ear to ear in his mugshot. Did you ever get arrested for something silly when you were an adolescent, if so, what did you do?
Contest Tease: A Pennsylvania man gave his mom the best gift ever, what was it? The correct answer wins _______ coming up at ___________
[Contest setup] A 73 year old woman just received an incredible gift from her son. What was it?
A: A Bed, Bath and Beyond shopping spree
B: A winning lotto ticket
C: A phone call just to say hi
Answer: B, the unidentified man gave his elderly mother a lotto ticket for Mother’s Day that turned out to be a winner. The Long Beach California resident scratched it to reveal a fifty thousand dollar prize, but she had to wait five months before she could fly back east to collect her winnings. Kinda makes the forty dollars-worth of flowers I sent seem a little lame.
