With the Super Bowl just days away… Tickets are going for insane prices. As of this writing, stubhub.com is reporting that individual tix to the game will set you back around $9,300.

- Which is PERFECT if you’ve got an extra 10 grand laying around! You can pay for your ticket… and still have $700 left over to pay for a hot dog and a beer!

Apple is reported working on two version of a “foldable” smartphone that they’ll debut in the iPhone 16 model. The phones would fold horizontally… much like the “Flip Phones” of the Old Days.

- And by the “Old Days” they mean two years ago when I was out on a boat and my Motorola Flip Phone fell out of my pocket into the lake and I jumped in to save it…Twice. Which I did. But it didn’t make it.

So I had to get a “Smartphone”.

It doesn’t fold.

Not very “Smart” if you ask me.

A dog let out of its crate by it’s owner on a United Airlines flight to Portland, Oregon… ran up the aisle and did his business… ALL of his business… all over the carpet… making for a rather unpleasant rest-of-the-trip.

- And go figure, the ONE time the passengers coulda used a little fresh air… the Plane’s windows actually stayed closed.

Nikki Haley lost the Republican Nevada primary to the “None of these candidates” option by 30 points.

- Wow. That’s like losing the “Miss Congeniality” crown to the cast of “The View”.

A nutritionist says that of all the Fast Food restaurants… Taco Bell offers the healthiest options.

- Seriously?? But what about that old expression, “Ask Not For Whom The Taco Bell Tolls… It Tolls For Thee!”. Wait… Do I have that wrong??

Social Media lit up when someone posted a pic of their McDonald’s receipt showing the cost of an Egg McMuffin in Connecticut at $7.29.

- Well now we know why the Chicken crossed the Road! He did it to get to the Wendy’s across the street where the Breakfast Sandwiches only cost $5.50.

- HISTORICAL FACT: $5.50 was the cost of the HIGHEST PRICE TICKET to see the BEATLES when they toured the US for the first time in 1964 (including playing Olympia Stadium in Detroit and in Cincinnati where I emceed their concert!)

65-year-old Madonna announced a third date in Miami as she adds an 80th stop to her Celebration Tour.

- She’s not doing another concert. It’s just at her age… she had to make a pit stop to use the Ladies room.

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