Crazy night last night… with the Republican Debate on one Channel… the Country Music Awards on another.

- You know things are bad when the lyrics to the Country Songs are less depressing than the Speeches at the Debate.

A Canadian family welcomed a bouncing baby boy last month — who weighed a whopping 14 1bs. 8 ounces. "It was a mind-blowing experience," said the baby’s father, “It was like… winning the Stanley Cup. Everybody was jumping and screaming. It was fun."

- I’m not sure “Fun” is the word the MOM used to describe it… but, okay… we’ll go with that.

“Sonny”… the couple’s fifth child was actually delivered by C-Section because 2 of the couples older children had tipped the scales at 13 pounds each.

- Basically the Mom told her OB, “When push comes to shove… I’m NOT DOING any of the pushing or shoving anymore!!”

A new survey found that when dining out, 53% of people experience “Food Envy,” … wishing they had ordered what someone else is enjoying.

- And the #1 most “Envied” item is the one Meg Ryan was having in “When Harry Met Sally”.

A Deer crashed through the front window of the “Curvaceous” lingerie store in Lansing and did some browsing before finding its way back outside.

- The deer has not been identified, but I’m better her name was “Vixen” or “Dancer”.

A new survey finds that many people suffer from “Tattoo Regret”… with tattoos on the Forearm getting the most post-ink second-thoughts.

- Well, there was one woman who got “Two Door Convertible” tattooed on her Chest when she was twenty… and said by the time she was 80… she needed to have it “fixed” to read “FOUR ON THE FLOOR”.

*****

A new version of the Burt Reynolds football comedy “The Longest Yard” will be headed to theaters in 2024.

- In my opinion… “The Longest Yard” EVER was the front yard of the house I grew up in in Kenmore, New York when my Dad made me get out of bed every Saturday to mow.

During a recent diving exploration, there were roughly 50,000 bronze coins found dating back to the 4th century AD off the coast of Sardinia in Italy.

- Thus the famous song… “50,000 Coins Close to the Fountain”.

As promised… Here’s the video of 11 year old Lia Lucci singing at Andiamos last Friday night. I was there when she got picked from the audience to sing during David Foster’s show there last week and Lia was so good, they invited her back to perform during Frankie Scinta’s show two nights later! In the clip, she’s singing, “I Will Always Love You”. It was a hit for Whitney Houston - and I’m thinking Lia’s version is a Winner, too.

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