0:00

let's go. It's Friday, April 18th,

0:02

2025. It's good Friday, Easter

0:04

weekend. Let's do it. It's first

0:07

thing with Kevin Mano. I

0:09

do have a programming note that I have to share, guys. I

0:11

know some of you are to be mad at me, but this

0:13

is going to be the last episode for a while. I'll

0:16

get into it a bit more at the end, but

0:18

I'm going to take a break from the pod for

0:20

a little bit. It's bittersweet because I

0:22

love doing it. But for now, today, this

0:24

show starts right now. And

0:28

we always start with the top

0:30

story. There was an active shooter

0:32

on the Florida State University campus

0:35

yesterday. The school sent an

0:37

alert out to students saying, quote, police are

0:39

on the scene. Lock and stay

0:41

away from all doors and windows and be

0:43

prepared to take additional protective measures. So

0:45

scary. At least two people have

0:47

died and at least six others

0:49

were being treated at Tallahassee Memorial

0:52

Healthcare. One person was taken into

0:54

custody, a 20 -year -old man who

0:56

was the son of a sheriff's

0:58

deputy and he had access to

1:00

her weapons and that's what he

1:02

allegedly used here. The school canceled

1:04

all operations and athletic events through

1:06

the weekend and sadly, unfortunately, this

1:08

is not their first experience with

1:11

this type of thing. There was

1:13

a shooting in the library at

1:15

FSU back in 2014. Okay,

1:21

onto sports. The big story in sports

1:23

this weekend will be the NBA playoffs.

1:26

There are still two play -in games. First tonight,

1:28

the Heat and the Hawks play for the

1:30

final spot in the Eastern Conference. And after

1:32

that, the Mavericks and the Grizzlies will play

1:34

for the last spot in the West. Then,

1:37

after that, tomorrow night, round one

1:39

officially starts. There are four games tomorrow

1:41

and four games on Sunday. Also,

1:44

the other big thing happening this weekend

1:46

in the world of sports, sports

1:48

entertainment, is WrestleMania

1:50

41. Back in my day, WrestleMania

1:52

was just a few hours on a Sunday night.

1:55

Now it's a whole weekend. It's

1:57

happening in Vegas at Allegiant Stadium.

1:59

It'll stream live on Netflix. On

2:03

to some entertainment headlines this

2:05

morning in legal news, Drake's lawyers

2:07

officially filed an amended complaint against

2:10

Universal Music Group claiming that Kendrick

2:12

Lamar's halftime show at the Super

2:14

Bowl was an attempt to assassinate

2:16

Drake's character. He originally sued

2:18

them in January and has

2:20

now updated that complaint specifically

2:22

highlighting the halftime show. In

2:25

other music -related legal news, the

2:27

woman that invented the Apple dance,

2:29

inspired by the Charlie XCX song,

2:31

is suing Roblox for taking that

2:33

choreography without her permission. Those are her

2:36

moves. They sell those moves in

2:38

the game. If you want your character to do

2:40

the Apple dance, that's gonna cost you. And

2:42

she said that money is hers. Checking

2:44

back in on the Katy Perry Wendy's feud.

2:46

Wendy's obviously had a lot of people talking

2:48

after tweeting that they wanted to send

2:50

Katy back to space. They've now released

2:53

a statement clearing the air. They said, quote, we

2:55

always bring a little spice to our socials,

2:57

but Wendy's has a ton of respect for Katy

2:59

Perry and her out of this world talent. So

3:02

it sounds like that settles that.

3:04

Another beef that got squashed was between

3:06

Amy Lee Wood of the White

3:08

Lotus and SNL cast member Sarah Sherman.

3:10

Sarah sent her flowers after the

3:12

fallout from this past Saturday show. Sarah

3:14

had portrayed Amy with her teeth, sort

3:16

of as the joke. Amy said it was

3:19

mean. So Sarah sent flowers and now Amy said,

3:21

we're cool. She shared the flowers on Instagram

3:23

and thanks Sarah for sending them. Lastly

3:26

here, Olivia Munn is gonna be honored

3:28

later this month at an event

3:30

benefiting breast cancer research. The

3:32

Women's Cancer Research Fund is hosting

3:34

this event and Olivia will receive

3:36

the Courage Award. Moving

3:41

on to movie and TV news.

3:43

It is Friday, so we'll take a

3:45

look at some of the stuff in theaters.

3:48

Sinners is out now. I hear incredible things

3:50

about this movie. I really want to see

3:52

it. It's like a horror movie about vampires

3:54

and racism. Ryan Coogler directed it.

3:56

Michael B. Jordan stars as twin brothers,

3:58

and it really does look great. There's

4:01

a romantic comedy called The Wedding Banquet

4:03

out now. Bo and Yang from SNL

4:05

is in it. And for the kids

4:07

there's an animated movie about shoes out

4:09

4:11

In other movie news I've got a

4:14

4:30

4:32

4:37

20th. Judd Apatow is working on a

4:39

new movie starring Glenn Powell, a

4:41

comedy about a washed up country music

4:43

star. I like it already. The

4:45

world needs more big comedies. I hope

4:47

it gets a theatrical release. In

4:50

TV news, this is huge. It's

4:52

being reported that Alicia Silverstone is

4:54

returning as Cher in a new

4:56

Clueless series. There aren't many details

4:58

at all here, but this is

5:00

apparently happening with Peacock. More

5:02

Clueless coming soon. Season

5:05

one of Daredevil Born Again recently wrapped

5:07

over at Disney Plus, and they just

5:09

announced that season two will be out

5:11

in March of 2026, so a season

5:13

two is coming. Also, we

5:15

got a premiere date for the 17th season

5:17

of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. That show

5:19

is the longest running live action comedy series

5:21

of all time. Season 17 will

5:24

premiere on FXX on July 9th.

5:26

Had Malakshmi is returning to the

5:28

5:30

top chef host for a long

5:32

time and she's got a new

5:34

show on CBS with a working

5:36

title America's culinary cup possibly premiering

5:38

later this year Lastly here really

5:41

one thing I want to mention

5:43

on this weekend season two of

5:45

the rehearsal with Nathan fielder premieres

5:47

Sunday night season one was so

5:49

weird I'm excited for this one

5:51

Sunday night on HBO and now

5:53

Let's enjoy an intermission This

5:56

show is supported by Nendaka. It

5:58

is a coffee alternative made

6:00

with 100 % fruiting body

6:02

mushrooms. I love the stuff.

6:04

I don't feel jittery. I don't get

6:07

that crash like you do with coffee. It's

6:09

it's really solid sustained energy. It's good

6:11

for your metabolism as well as the upgrade

6:13

your body has been waiting for. Coffee

6:15

can sort of deplete your body. This supports

6:17

your body. There's a big difference there.

6:19

It boosts mood and focus, supports digestion and

6:21

metabolism. I am so happy that I

6:23

found this. I'm so happy that they have

6:25

been a sponsor of this show. And

6:27

6:50

onto music. You know what day

6:52

it is and you know that new music comes

6:55

out on Friday. So a quick recap of what's

6:57

out there. Morgan Wallen did release that new song

6:59

with Post Malone. I ain't coming back as the

7:01

name of it that is out right now. Lana

7:03

Del Rey has a new track

7:05

called Bluebird. Again, her upcoming album

7:08

7:10

Delade. You guys are gonna miss these

7:12

jokes. Anyway, her song Bluebird is

7:14

out now. Addison Rey just released

7:16

a new song called Headphones On. She's got

7:18

an album coming in June. And she'll be

7:20

7:27

Springsteen song out there today. He's

7:31

And he just released a song

7:33

called Blind Spot. Carrie Hilson

7:35

7:37

does the band Made A Parade. I like

7:39

them. It's called Sweet, and that is

7:41

out now. In other

7:44

new music news, the next singer

7:46

to go country is Akon,

7:48

the reggae slash pop slash hip

7:50

hop artist. He's planning on

7:52

re -recording his entire catalog with

7:54

a country flare. That's different. Jin

7:57

from BTS just announced his first

7:59

ever solo world tour. There's

8:01

only nine dates for now, but still

8:03

a world tour. It's gonna be everywhere. He's

8:05

got four shows here in the States

8:07

in July, LA, Dallas, Tampa, and Newark, New

8:09

Jersey. Lastly, Dolly Parton has

8:11

a new book on the way. It's called

8:13

Star of the Show, My Life on

8:15

Stage. It's gonna be out in

8:17

November. I guess it's the third and final book

8:19

in her trilogy. And this

8:21

is cool. There's gonna be an audio

8:24

book read by Dolly herself. Some

8:28

additional headlines here on this

8:30

Friday morning. The Menendez Brothers' resentencing

8:32

trial got started yesterday and

8:34

it will not continue today. It's

8:36

been pushed. Cameras were

8:39

not allowed in the courtroom yesterday, but there

8:41

reportedly was a lot of yelling. It was

8:43

intense. The next hearing is scheduled for May

8:45

9th, so it won't be too long, a few weeks. In

8:48

travel news, we just find out that

8:50

American Airlines will soon offer free Wi

8:52

-Fi. That's pretty cool. It's not

8:54

going to start until January of 2026, and it's only

8:56

for their loyalty program members, but it's really easy

8:58

to sign up for that. They said

9:00

they'll have the free Wi -Fi on 90 %

9:02

of their planes. In

9:05

retail news, the China -founded e -commerce

9:07

sites Timu and Xi 'en are raising

9:09

prices starting next week. Even though

9:11

they're owned by different companies, they're

9:13

technically competitors, they released similar statements

9:15

saying that due to recent changes

9:17

in global trade rules and tariffs,

9:19

operating expenses are going up.

9:22

No more $6 outfits, guys. The

9:24

price hike kicks in next week. In

9:27

food news, Chili's wants to fight

9:29

McDonald's. They just unveiled a new burger

9:31

called the Big QP, which

9:33

they said has, quote, 85 % more beef

9:35

than a quarter pounder with cheese. That's what

9:38

the QP stands for. Man, that's

9:40

a direct diss to McDonald's. This is

9:42

not the first time Chili's has positioned themselves

9:44

as superior to fast food. Now,

9:47

I know there's a lot going on this

9:49

weekend. Sunday is Easter. for those

9:51

that celebrate. It's also 420 for

9:53

those that celebrate. But tomorrow is

9:55

the first day of National Parks

9:57

Week. All national parks are

9:59

waving interest fees tomorrow to kick

10:01

off the celebration. Lastly

10:03

here, my friends, I always end the show with

10:05

something positive. This is just a crazy story out

10:07

of Arizona. A two -year

10:09

-old boy went missing Monday night, two

10:12

years old, practically a baby. He

10:14

was gone for 16 hours. That is

10:16

so terrifying. They had over 40

10:18

people out looking for him and in

10:20

the end he was found by

10:22

a dog named Buford. This kid,

10:24

remember he's two, he somehow walked seven

10:26

miles through like remote areas with some

10:28

really gnarly wildlife out there and he

10:30

was totally fine. A rancher named Scotty

10:32

said he went outside to get in

10:35

this truck and he saw Buford, his

10:37

dog walking with a kid and he

10:39

was like, hey who's this kid? He

10:41

called authorities And he was

10:43

reunited with his family safe and sound

10:45

but what a wild story that is

10:47

seven miles away a two -year -old So

10:49

thankful this has a happy ending. Thanks

10:51

to Buford dog. Great job Buford and

10:54

the show is Thanks for being here

10:56

Yeah, I mentioned this at the beginning

10:58

of the show, but I just I

11:00

need to take a break. I've done

11:02

I've done breaks from this podcast in

11:04

the past I don't know exactly when

11:06

it's coming back, but I

11:08

just don't have the bandwidth at the moment

11:10

in my life to dedicate to this podcast.

11:12

I do love doing it, and I appreciate

11:14

the support. I know I've done almost,

11:16

what, 600 episodes of the show? A lot

11:18

of you have been here since the beginning, so

11:20

thank you very much. It's not going away

11:23

forever, but I'm putting it on hold for a

11:25

bit. To focus on some other things, I

11:27

appreciate you so much. All the support, I really

11:29

do. Stay in touch on social media, the

11:31

people that reach out to me that listen to

11:33

the show. Feel like family, so please. Alright,

11:36

have a great day, a great

11:38

weekend, and please don't tell your friends

11:40

about this show.
