The famous Von Trapp family from “The Sound of Music” is developing a dramatic TV series about their lives following the iconic movie. Producers say it WON’T be a musical.

- So the Network will be the only one getting any “Do-Re-Mi”.

- And since it’s a more modern version, instead of wearing Drapes, in the new TV Series, Maria makes the Von Trapp kids clothes out of Venetian Blinds.

- Plus… to appeal to today’s “Woke” audience, in the new Series, Captain Von Trapp identifies as a Woman and - in a moment of irony - leaves Maria and the kids - to join the Convent as Austria’s first Trans Nun.

Speaking of Nuns…

The World’s oldest known living person- Sister Andre - a French Nun - died yesterday at the age of 118. No cause of death has been released.

- I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say………….. OLD AGE???

A new study warns that eating just one portion of freshwater fish from US lakes and rivers — such as a Catfish or Trout — could expose people to a tremendous amount of harmful “Forever Chemicals”.

- Well this is just GREAT! First they tried to shove Plant-Based MEAT down our throats… Now they’re gonna be pushing, “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Catfish!”

Madonna announced that she will play Little Caesars Arena on Saturday, August 5th as part of a 40th Anniversary North American and European Concert run called Madonna: The Celebration Tour.

The Department of the Interior will replace the word "Squaw" in the names of Public Lands and Waterways because it's considered an "Offensive ethnic, racial and sexist slur, particularly for Indigenous women". The announcement was made by Interior Secretary, Deb Haaland.

- So we can't say "Squaw" (which means "Woman") But we can still refer to a woman as a "Secretary"??

Have a great day and I’ll see you back here Thursday!
