Things off with a story
from right here in DC.
The Smithsonian National Zoo announced
the birth of an adorable baby porcupine
at the zoo's small mammal house.
Oh, just look at those little guys.
No seriously, look at them.
Don't try and pet or try and cuddle them.
The mother and father,
Beatrice and quit Labour,
are said to be doing well.
So is older brother Quilliam?
Yes Quilliam.
They're just like us.
The zoo has had some fun
with these names clearly.
Now the sex of the newborn
should be known in a few weeks,
which is when they'll have to
pick a name for him or her.
So go ahead and start working
on your porcupine puns.
Right now you could go with Quill Smith.
There's Quill Scott there's quill.
I am there's so many options.
I'm you know what you guys help me out.
I'm at Reese Waters on Twitter.
All my social media so you can
go ahead and email me as well.
Seriously,
this next story is another great one
out of Northwest DC with the Sidwell
Friends Girls basketball team.
Is currently ranked number
one in the nation by ESPN?
What three of their players senior Kiki Rice,
Junior Jane Donovan and sophomore
Kendall Dudley are ranked in the top
ten of their respective classes?
That's fantastic, said well,
is right down the street from the station.
I gotta go ahead and sneak out
and catch a game sometime.
Clearly, Adam Longo can cover for me.
The DC area has always been
known for basketball talent,
including your boy right here.
Oh, really.
You just you just not gonna
put me on the graphic.
Y'all y'all.
Y'all like y'all don't know what a
bad boy I was back in my day in Saint
Albans is nothing but the triple
threat position 'cause I couldn't dribble,
shoot or pass.
Now we might not have home rule
but we will run you off your
home court any day of the week.
Sidwell Friends is just the latest
powerhouse in the area that's known for them.
In fact,
New Hope Academy in Landover,
Bishop McNamara and Forestville Saint Paul,
the 6th Catholic and Chantily
and Saint John's College High
School are all holding it down and
representing the DC area very well.
But today.
It's all about our neighbors on
Wisconsin Ave Sidwell Friends.
So congratulations and keep up the
good work and put me on the graphic.
Can we at least put me in my
Upper Marlboro boys and Girls
Club uniform or something?
Now let's go ahead to West
Virginia for this next story.
'cause it's wild.
This is where TV reporter Tori Yorgey
was hit by an SUV V on live TV.
Oh no, no, no.
She bounced back up and finished her report.
I got hit by a car but I'm OK.
I just got hit by a car but I'm OK.
Tim, I'm OK, we're all good.
I'm OK. Yeah, you know that's
live TV for you it's all good.
I won't say that's live TV for you.
Last time you got hit by SUV
and finish up that slide.
I remember I remember the first
time I got hit with an SUV.
She's a real one for finishing that report.
I'm on live TV right now.
Let a paper airplane hit me.
Let somebody bad thoughts hit me.
I'm staying on the ground until the
ambulance comes my neck, my back,
my neck and my back technique.
I want 150,000 but we could settle
out of court right now for 50 bucks.
Shout out to the great Anthony Johnson.
Now more power to her for not
saying I can't feel my legs back
to you Tim but I gotta talk about
Tim 'cause my man was unmoved the
entire time he out here stoic.
Like a movie villain.
Like if she dies she dies.
Sound like they need a mediator when
she gets back to the station now.
Allegedly he couldn't see that she got
hit and wasn't sure what was happening.
At least I hope that was the case.
Would you be weird 'cause she kept repeating?
I just got hit by a car but go off Tim.
Tomorrow is Tori Yorgey's last day
with the station not because of this,
but because she's moving to a new station.
Let's hope this one keeps her from
reporting on the side of the road.
Had tipped to Tori.
Lastly, I chose this story out of Canada,
'cause it's a sign of the COVID times.
Health officials ordered a restaurant
in Alberta to close temporarily after
they investigated it and discovered the
place was letting customers show dog
photos instead of COVID vaccination
cards or negative test results.
To eat indoors now I love dogs
as much as anybody.
But come on,
that's not supposed to let you in.
What? What is that?
Oh, you don't have your card?
You don't have your negative tests.
You got a Cocker spaniel, OK, you're good.
You're good.
Yeah, just come on in all,
all is forgiven now.
Investigators actually sent test
shoppers there at two different times
with two different names and all it
took to get in was pictures are over
the restaurant claimed they were
closed in a Facebook post and put
the blame on an underage staff for writing.
We had an unfortunate circumstance
at our front door which involved one
of our underage hostesses and the
requirements for the Rep program.
We are taking the weekend to retrain
and regroup. Regroup will put.
I can respect.
We hired a high school kid who
did something dumb,
but we are taking care of that
as an explanation more than the
places that violate COVID mandates
over personal freedom and liberty.
It is kind of refreshing to see a
business put out a good old fashioned oops.
We hired somebody who screwed up,
and these overly politicized times
I might actually eat there.
If I'm ever in Alberta, 'cause you know,
I really eat anything if I'm in
Alberta, I get hungry up there.
My dog is adorable. You know what
my meal might end up being free?
My favorite story you know is the
dog photos 15 year old me would
have been that lazy host to just let
people in to avoid confrontation
and having arguments and let
people talk about their dogs.
Besides, Sidwell, is Saint Albans rival?
Tori just raised the bar for everybody
in news and I'm all out of coupons.
Oh coupons,
I just said there was another one.
