Lyra Manning
On the 10 O’clock News we got to meet new anchor Lyra Manning. Lyra who is originally from New York City, comes to Fox Charlotte from WBTW in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina where she was the morning anchor. Welcome to Charlotte Lyra!
During the news they reported about the two workers from Dominos and again showed part of the Youtube video where they were doing horrible things with the food. This is the thrid consecutive night of showing the video. ENOUGH ALREADY!
Morgan took the night off. (Probably out shopping!) We were left to Brotha Fred and Mark Mathis. Maybe next time they can have a stage hand as co-host. Or else I am available. Normally Fred is the wild one but in tonight’s show Fred would have made Morgan seem wild.
The Top Topic was that John Madden is retiring at age 73. Madden said he wanted to spend more time with his family. He will be replaced by Cris Collinsworth. So tinight’s question is “Who’s the greatest sportcaster of all time?” You have the whole weekend to answer by calling 332-EDGE. Mark Mathis mentioned a number of names. Seemed all but one did fred recognize and said they were before his time. Both know Marv Albert but it was Mark who remembered that Marv Albert liked to chew underpants. What a person remembers, speaks volumes about that person.
Will Ferrell drinks his urine. This is for a Discovery Channel episode of the series Man Vs. Wild. Ferrell is doing this to promote his upcoming movie Land of the Lost. This episode will air sometime in June. As was pointed out, who knew there was wild areas of Sweden? It is in the artic area of Sweden, reportedly. What does Ferrel say about this? He is quoted recently “thrill of a lifetime, even though I did get urine drunk, which is sad.” Fred said it was worth it if being paid a million dollars. (Well as it is to promote his movie where he will earn millions I guess he is being paid that much.)
Four Pythons escaped from a container aboard a plane in Australia. 12 non-venemous Stimson pythons (native to Australia) were on the flight from Alice Springs to Melbourne in the plane’s cargo area in a bag inside a plastic foam box with air holes. When the plane landed Qantas airline workers noticed they were missing. It still is to be determined whether they are still on the plane or are at the airport looking for their luggage. The plane was fumigatedand the airplane is now back serving passengers.
As some point in the show, Mark said to Fred “Anyone ever say you’re an attractive man.” (Can’t explain the look of Fred’s face. You had to see it. But that is why you have to actually watch the show.
They brought up that in Richmond that inmates will be charged for the cost of their jail time. They will be charged $1/day per inmate. They say in their jails it costs $46/day per inmate. They expect it could raise up to $500,000 per year to help offset the $30 million annual cost to taxpayers. Mark mentioned that he had been in jail. And “One time I enjoyed it.” The question was brought up, what happens if they don’t pay?
A recent study has found that Twitter may be dangerous to your health.
The Edgy story of the night was about a Driving teacher who was drunk while giving a driving lesson. Daniel Winsky of Salem, Mass., was convicted of operating under the influence. While he was not in the driver’s seat he was operating the brakes and steering the car in car purpose built for driving lessons. He agreed to give up his license for a year (in order to stay out of jail) and be on 18 months probation.
Also a story about a russian man who jumped out a winodw. Twice. He is a 22 year old man from Moscow and he jumped out a fifth-story window. He drank three bottles of vodka. Fortunatly he only suffered a minor concussion and scratches. When the man sobered up late he said he would give up drinking. (Maybe he should give up jumping out of fifth-story windows instead?)
What is missing from what I have written is all the comments and antics from Mark Mathis. And the expressions from Brotha Fred. There is no way to put it all into words. You have to watch the show or any videos on the Fox Charlotte website. This is not a substitute for watching the show. Would recommend to the producers to find someone else when needed to co-host other than him. Even Fred was no fun to watch. Why not David L.? Or someone? Anyone?
And the last chance headlines again included part of the Domino’s Pizza Youtube video. ENOUGH!!! And do you realize that by playing the video all the time it means the two people achieved their goal? So that then makes other people want to do the same. Maybe we should all stay away from restaurants until the television shows and newscasts stop playing these videos! Otherwise you may not be happy with what gets added to your food…..
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!!!
