It’s “National Twilight Zone Day”… And between CNN’s Town Hall with Prez Trump last night, the House Oversight Committee Press Conference about the Biden’s making $10 MILLION from China & Ukraine, and Title 42 coming to an end at the Southern Border… Even Rod Serling of the “Twilight Zone” is freaking out… and he’s been gone since 1975.

It’s also “National Eat What You Want Day”… which may not be a good idea. According to a new study, about 25% of studies published in Medical Journals are “Made up or plagiarized”.

- Well this makes me second guess a study I read yesterday saying Bacon dipped in Sour Cream is good for your Heart…

Music superstar “The Weeknd” who performed at the 2021 Super Bowl says he’s considering going back to the name he was born with…

- “Monday thru Friday”.

A new survey finds that most students don’t have strong connections with their teachers.

- With the exception of the ones who are are sleeping with them.

- I had a very strong connection with Mrs. Tennant, my second grade teacher because she used to play Marbles with us. She could roll an Aggie like nobody’s business. Plus… she made me Peter Rabbit in the School Play (the “Star” if you will) - and even came up on stage and pinned my tail back on when it fell off during the middle of the peformance. If that isn’t a “strong connection”… I don’t know what is!

Wanna stay itch free this summer? Start in the shower! A new study out of Virginia Tech found that certain brands of soap attract more mosquitos than others.

- For example, they like Irish Spring. It’s Manly, yes… but mosquitos like it too.

Thieves reportedly stole more than $13,000 worth of sneakers from a shoe store in Peru, loaded them onto a Tricycle and took off. But it turns out they took boxes that held the other half of the “Display” model and ended up with 200 Right-footed tennis shoes.

- I’ll bet they’re really kicking themselves. (But only with their right foot).

A Minnesota man has built what he believes is the world's first beer-powered motorcycle in his garage.

- Well, that’s one way to get rid of any unused Bud Light.

RIP… Jacklyn Zeman, the longtime "General Hospital" actress who played the role of Barbara "Bobbie" Spencer - appearing in 800 episodes over 50 years has died at 70. No cause has been given. I’m not personally a “General Hospital” fan… I was always more of a “The Young & The Restless” and “The Bold & The Beautiful” kind of guy!

(Okay… Truth be told… I Googled “Soap Operas” and those 3 are the only ones still on the air! Honest!)

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