Friday, yes, what's up friends? It's Friday, March 25th, 2022. It's Kevin Mano here on this date in history yesterday

was a big one, you know, it was the 50th anniversary of the Godfather. Today might be just as big. It's the 20 year anniversary of the first episode of the bachelor on ABC.

The bachelor was a young man named Alex. I don't ever want to assume anyone knows this, but my wife Ali was the bachelor red back in like 2010.

I told her yesterday that the 20th anniversary of the show is coming up and I candidly recorded her response very secretly.

And this is what she had to say.

You're recording me?

I know.

Let's get it going, get into it and update from Russia's continued invasion of Ukraine's still your top story. Probably the biggest story to come out of the emergency meetings being held in Brussels.

President Biden is calling for the removal of Russia from the G20. He also said that if Russia uses chemical weapons in Ukraine, which is probably everyone's biggest fear currently, NATO quote would respond.

The world leaders that have gathered over there also pledged new sanctions on Russia as well as more humanitarian aid to Ukraine, but President Zelensky, while appreciative said this fall short of the military assistance his country needs.

Additionally, the US has agreed to accept 100,000 Ukrainian refugees.

Let's go!

All right, into sports in college basketball. The men's sweet 16 got underway last night. There were four games and Arkansas, Villanova, Duke and Houston all walked away with W's.

They're moving on to the Elite 8 now, which will get started tomorrow. Houston, by the way, was the most talked about of the games last night as they pulled off quite an upset over number one in Arizona.

One that came 72 to 60. Wow, we've got four more games tonight and the women's tournament continues with the start of their sweet 16 tonight as well.

In other basketball news, Vanessa Bryant just reached a new deal with Nike to create a peril honoring the legacy of Kobe Bryant.

Kobe had a deal with Nike since 2003 and that ended last April. So it's back on the first item we're going to get will be shoes called the Mambacita Sweet 16, which is meant to honor Kobe's daughter Gigi.

All the proceeds will go toward the Mamba and Mambacita Sports Foundation.

Gettin' into entertainment news. Now, Dave Koolie, you might know him as Joey Gladstone from Full House Cut. It out.

He was never Uncle Joey, by the way. People call him Uncle Joey all the time. He was just Danny's friend, not an uncle. Jesse was the uncle, not Joey.

Anyway, Dave Koolie just opened up about the fact that he's more than two years sober. We had no idea. He said, yes, he's an alcoholic and his friends and family really helped him find sobriety.

He posted this yesterday on social media and really expressed a lot of gratitude for his wife Melissa.
