Hello, all right, let's go,
0:02
it's Thursday, April 10th, 2025.
0:04
It's first thing with Kevin
0:07
Mano, super quick look at
0:09
all the top headlines as
0:11
you start your day, real
0:14
efficient. Real quick, I will
0:16
not be here tomorrow, no
0:18
show, tomorrow, which is Friday,
0:21
but I will be back on
0:23
Monday. For now, today's show starts
0:25
right now. While that does not
0:27
include China, the news was enough
0:29
to revive the market stock shot
0:31
up, as did the dollar, the
0:33
S&P 500 had one of its
0:35
biggest gains since World War II, it
0:38
was a U-turn that really nobody saw
0:40
coming. There are still plenty of these
0:42
new tariffs in place, including the 25%
0:44
U.S. auto tariff, but markets reacted to
0:47
the news in a big way. There's
0:49
still uncertainty out there though, for example,
0:51
the battle with China. Only intensified yesterday.
0:54
Trump called them a bad actor and
0:56
increased their tariffs to 125%. He said
0:58
they're being punished since they retaliated against
1:01
his tariffs. He said, don't retaliate and
1:03
you'll be rewarded. That's his message to
1:05
all the nations. This trade war has
1:07
lots of ups and downs and it's
1:10
far from over. We'll see what happens
1:12
next. Hey
1:17
on the sports. The big story today
1:19
is the Masters. While there have been
1:22
events all week, the tournament gets started
1:24
at 740 Eastern time this morning in
1:26
Atlanta, Georgia. Competition will continue through Sunday.
1:28
At that point, we will have our
1:30
winner. Against Scotty Shefler is the
1:33
favorite. The returning champion is the
1:35
favorite to win it all again.
1:37
You can watch the Masters on
1:39
ESPN, CBS, and Paramount Plus. In
1:42
the NBA, another LeBron story today,
1:44
he just played his 1,561st game.
1:46
With that, he passed Karim Abdul
1:48
Jabbar and has now played the
1:50
second most games of all time.
1:53
Robert Parrish is still 50 games
1:55
ahead of him. LeBron could get
1:57
there before the season is
1:59
over. James News, his Lakers were in
2:02
Dallas last night, which was Lukadonchich's first
2:04
time back in the city since leaving
2:06
the Mavericks for the Lakers. It was
2:08
an emotional night. The Mabs played a
2:11
tribute video to him before the game.
2:13
He cried. And then he went on
2:15
to score 45 points. The Lakers won,
2:18
112 to 97. On
2:21
to some entertainment headlines first in health
2:23
news, Angelica Houston just revealed that she
2:25
had a private fight with cancer about
2:27
five years ago. It was right after
2:29
she wrapped filming John Wick 3. She
2:32
didn't give him any specifics. We don't
2:34
know what kind of cancer it was,
2:36
but it sounds like she beat it
2:38
and she's proud of that as she
2:40
should be. She said the ordeal highlighted
2:42
the importance of not taking life too
2:45
seriously. In relationship news, former First Lady
2:47
Michelle Obama just opened up about divorce
2:49
rumors. She was on Sophia Bush's podcast,
2:51
and essentially she shot him down. She
2:53
said that her newfound independence, since leaving
2:55
the White House, has led people to
2:58
speculate about a troubled marriage. She said,
3:00
that's just what society does, puts a
3:02
negative spin on things. Lastly here, a
3:04
video of Justin Bieber has sort of
3:06
gone viral. In the video, he's screaming
3:08
at paparazzi. He's out getting coffee in
3:11
Palm Springs. And as always, they're right
3:13
there with him. The articles, the conversation
3:15
about this video. are pointing out the
3:17
fact that he recently wrote online about
3:19
his anger issues and you see that
3:21
in this video. Moving on to movie
3:24
and TV news, I've got a trailer
3:26
up this morning at First Thing Pot
3:28
of the Instagram Stories for a movie
3:30
called Nana's. Vince Vaughn, Stanley Tuchy, Susan
3:32
Sarandon are all in it. It's a
3:34
comedy, it'll be out in May. Again,
3:37
the trailer is up. I've also got
3:39
a teaser trailer up there for a
3:41
new Metallica documentary documentary. It's about their
3:43
fans. It's called Metallica Save My Life.
3:45
It sounds cool. Again, at First Thing
3:47
Pod to see those in the Instagram
3:50
stories. In other music-related movie News, The
3:52
Weekend just announced that his movie, Hurry
3:54
Up Tomorrow, will be in theaters for
3:56
one night only. It's going to be
3:58
out for everyone to see May 16.
4:00
but it's going to be in theaters
4:03
on May 14th. And again, Jenna Ortega
4:05
and Barry Kyogan are both in it.
4:07
It looks like a legit movie. On
4:09
the TV, I've got a trailer up
4:11
in the stories for a new Apple
4:13
show called Murder Bot. I know that
4:16
sounds kind of dark, but it's a
4:18
comedy. It's based on a book series.
4:20
Alexander Scar's Guard is the lead that
4:22
premieres May 16th. Again, Apple TV Plus
4:24
and the trailer is up there. In
4:26
other news, this one was kind of
4:29
inevitable, but HBO has already renewed the
4:31
last of us for a third season.
4:33
The second season premieres this Sunday night,
4:35
and now we know for sure that
4:37
a third season is behind it. In
4:39
TV News News, MS NBC and Fox
4:42
Business are both getting monster ratings right
4:44
now on account of the market chaos.
4:46
They've both seen a spike in viewership
4:48
as people wonder what's happening with their
4:50
money. Some day parts are seeing like
4:52
40% bumps. And now a handful of
4:55
things to watch today. Hacks is back.
4:57
People love that show. It's back on
4:59
Max. It's the season for premiere of
5:01
the medical drama, the pit. People to
5:03
watch that show really love that show,
5:05
too. The season finale is out today
5:08
on Max. Hulu has the season finale
5:10
of the Kardashians. And the one that
5:12
I'm most excited about, Netflix, has the
5:14
seventh season premiere of Black Mirror. Hey
5:19
on to music, I'll start with this
5:21
one. It's a really crazy story. The
5:23
wife of the base player of the
5:25
band Weiser was shot during a police
5:27
involved shootout in Los Angeles. Her name
5:30
is Jillian Lauren. It all started with
5:32
a hit and run. The suspect's fled.
5:34
Police were searching. And then this Jillian
5:36
woman came out of a house with
5:38
a gun in her hand. It's not
5:40
clear at this point if she fired.
5:43
But the police were reportedly telling her
5:45
to drop the weapon. She was treated
5:47
at the hospital and booked for attempted
5:49
murder. Again, this is a very wild
5:51
story and I'm sure we're going to
5:54
get more information soon. Also, her husband's
5:56
band, Weezer, is set to perform at
5:58
Coachella this weekend. surprise if they had
6:00
a guest base player up there with
6:02
him. By the way, Coachella will be
6:05
live streamed on YouTube again this
6:07
year, so you can watch from
6:09
anywhere. The National Recording Registry just
6:11
announced 25 editions. This is something
6:13
the Library of Congress has been
6:15
doing since the year 2000. They
6:17
do it to preserve iconic recordings.
6:20
The new editions include albums by
6:22
Elton John, Miles Davis, Amy Wine
6:24
House, the original cast recording of
6:26
Hamilton, and the Windows 95 reboot
6:28
chime. I like that. We just found
6:30
out that Jennifer Lopez is gonna host
6:32
the 2025 American Music Awards. They're coming
6:34
up next month, May 26th. You can
6:36
watch on CBS and Paramount Plus. Jalo
6:39
will also perform. Lady Gagga just announced
6:41
more dates on her mayhem ball tour,
6:43
and those shows are in Australia. Her
6:45
first time performing over there in 11
6:47
years. In new music news, it looks
6:49
like Lord is getting ready to put
6:51
out a new album. She just shared
6:53
a bit of a new track on
6:55
Tik. Her last album came out in
6:58
2021, so fans are ready. And lastly
7:00
here, Morgan Wallen just snatched a record
7:02
away from Taylor Swift. His album, I'm
7:04
the Problem, is still like five weeks
7:07
away, but he has released a handful
7:09
of songs from it already, and he
7:11
just broke the record for most top
7:13
tens on the Billboard Hot 100 prior
7:15
to an album's release. Taylor had four
7:18
top tens back before her album Red
7:20
came out, and now Morgan has five
7:22
from his upcoming album, from his upcoming
7:24
album, May 16. Some additional headlines here
7:27
on this Thursday morning. Prince Harry is
7:29
in the news. He was in court
7:31
yesterday over in the UK. He's looking
7:33
to get his full British security detail
7:36
reinstated. And there was a dramatic moment.
7:38
I guess a woman showed up late.
7:40
She kind of caused the scene when
7:43
she entered the courtroom and then a
7:45
bit later she started shouting things. It's
7:47
reported that she was shouting in his
7:50
defense. So she's a fan, but it
7:52
was chaotic enough for Harry to be
7:54
dramatically escorted out of the courtroom. She
7:56
was also removed and at that point
7:59
his princeness returned. Travel News, the experts
8:01
over at Food and Wine just ranked
8:03
airports based on their dining options. The
8:05
winner of this year's Food and Wine
8:07
Global Tastemaker Award is Hartsfield Jackson in
8:09
Atlanta. It's a huge airport and they
8:11
say it has the best food and
8:13
drink options of all of them. O'Hare came
8:15
in second followed by JFK. A new
8:17
study just came out, this language learning
8:19
platform, analyzed Google search patterns across the
8:21
country, to figure out which states and
8:23
cities have the most pronunciation challenges. So
8:25
for the last year, these are the
8:27
words that Americans have struggled to pronounce the
8:30
most. See how you do with these
8:32
words. Crescent? I don't even know if
8:34
I'm saying it right. Sometimes I hear
8:36
people say, croissant. I'm not going to
8:38
say that ever though. Cash, as in
8:40
like your computer's cache. Supercalifrancialistic Exby Aladocis
8:42
is on the list. I don't know why
8:44
people are saying that that often. Demure
8:46
and Chapelron. People really struggle to say
8:48
Chapelron. All some of the most mispronounced
8:50
words of the year. Lastly here, I
8:52
always end the show with something positive.
8:54
Today it's a real David and Goliath
8:56
story. It's cool. It's about a young
8:58
girl over in the UK. Her name is
9:00
Georgia. She was bothered by the fact
9:02
that her school uniform did not have
9:04
any pockets on the girls' pants. The
9:06
boys had pockets. The girls did not.
9:08
She wrote a letter and collected signatures
9:10
on a petition saying the girls need
9:12
to carry things too. She sent all of
9:15
that off to this big retailer, Sainsbury.
9:17
And success! This girl, she did it.
9:19
She got a letter back for management
9:21
apologizing and agreeing with her. Skip ahead
9:23
to present day and Sainsbury's now carries
9:25
those same uniforms. but with pockets for
9:27
the girls. This young young lady named Georgia,
9:29
she made some real change out there.
9:31
You too can make a change. She's
9:33
an inspiration. Nice job, Georgia. You enjoy
9:35
those pockets. And the show is over
9:37
here. Okay, thanks for being here. Quick

9:47
cool. Kerry said that
9:49

9:51
