And remember… every single penny stays right here in our community feeding and sheltering the less fortunate 365 days a year!! I can’t thank you enough!!
And now… on to the news!

So much Drama this weekend! The Paparazzi going crazy… Focus on “who was wearing what”… Lots of talk about Ukraine… And that was just the meeting between Trump, Vance and Zelensky in the Oval Office Friday. THEN we got to the Oscars…

Speaking of that…
I’m gonna be honest. I didn’t watch one second of this year’s Academy Awards. Not for any reason really - it’s just that I hadn’t seen any of the nominated films. One of the ones that was up for Best Picture - and lost - was “Emilia Pérez”. It’s a Netflix musical about a Mexican Drug Lord who fulfills his lifelong dream of switching Genders from Man to Woman.
-Hard to believe a good old fashioned American love story like that didn’t take home the prize… but, I guess it just wasn’t their year.
-Despite the award loss… I’m just glad all the other Trans Hispanic Drug Lords out there now know they have a voice!

Giorgio Armani held a pre-Oscars soiree Saturday night ... bringing out many big-name stars.
-Also in attendance… Adam Sandler.

Harrison Ford stepped down as a presenter at the 2025 Oscars after he was diagnosed with shingles.
-He tried explaining that he had a really important event coming up… but the virus was like, “SHINGLES DOESN’T CARE!”
For those of you lucky enough to never have had them… Shingles causes a painful, burning rash that can last for weeks.
-It’s kind of like sleeping with one of the Kardashinas but without the fear of accidental pregnancy.
*****
Egg producers are now being accused of raising prices to Cash-in on Bird-Flu Mania.
- No other way to put it… These people are bad eggs.
-And unfortunately - unlike eggs - they appear to be about a dime a dozen.
*****
According to a new poll, roughly 80% of Americans said they have recently experienced extreme weather.
-The technical name for it here in Michigan is……………….. WINTER.

Have a great day and I’ll see you back here Tuesday… and again… Thanks so much for supporting the 38th Annual Salvation Army Bed & Bread Club Radiothon!! You’re the Best!!
