Oxford University Press has announced that the Oxford Word of the Year for 2023 is…

Rizz. You read that right. “Rizz”.

I’m just gonna say it. I’ve never heard that word in my life. So I looked it up… Rizz is defined as “Style, charm or attractiveness” and as “the ability to attract a romantic or sexual partner”.

Personally… I’d say Jennifer Aniston and Charlize Theron have “Rizz”. But that’s just me…

- “Rizz” just doesn’t sound that attractive. I mean, “Plop, Plop… Rizz, Rizz… Oh, How Pretty She Is… “ just doesn’t work for me.

Climate Czar John Kerry appeared to have "Broken Wind" during one of his "Climate Change" talks in Dubai yesterday. He was in the middle of equating the Climate Crisis with increased deaths when an audible bleating noise was heard.

- Maybe John should stop worrying about SUV emissions and worry about his own.

The story even made international headlines... with the British paper, TheDailyMail.com calling the Flatulence episode a "Bottom Burp".

- I've never heard it called a “Bottom Burp” before. It's got a much nicer ring to it than most of the terms my son-in-laws usually use to describe it.

HBO Films has optioned the rights to a new book that details the short-lived Political Career of Congressman George Santos. For those of you who haven't been paying attention, Santos was kicked out of Congress last week for ethics violations for lying about his past.

- Well if "Lying" is the standard to make a movie about a Congressman... then C-SPAN is the new Netflix.

According to a new survey by WalletHub, more than 1 in 3 Americans are foregoing Christmas gifts this year due to inflation.

- That’s fine! Because all I want this year is a chance to have my Medicare Part B coverage reviewed to see if my doctor is in network… and luckily, from what they tell me on TV, operators are STANDING BY RIGHT NOW to let me know if special benefits are available in my area!!!

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