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

9:39

shout out to Kerry. I love this

9:41

9:47

cool. Kerry said that

9:49

9:51

GED class with learners
