| 0:00.0 | Good morning. Hello there. Happy Monday. Welcome to a brand new week. It's Monday, May 9th, 2022. This is first thing with Kevin Mano on this date in history in 1914. Mother's Day was officially established by President Woodrow Wilson. |
| 0:14.6 | Since then, we've been celebrating our mothers on the second Sunday of May. Hope it was a good one for you yesterday. Also on this date, the original Friday the 13th was released in theaters. We have a Friday the 13th coming up this week. |
| 0:27.2 | Spooky and less spooky 30 years ago today, the final episode of the Golden Girls aired iconic show. |
| 0:43.0 | All right, jumping in. We always start with your top stories. Lots of headlines. How do you crane over the weekend? |
| 0:47.6 | First off, a story I had been updating for too long. All women, children and elderly civilians trapped in that steel plant and |
| 0:54.8 | Mary Opa have been evacuated. Soldiers and civilian men are still in there still trying to prevent a total Russian takeover of the city. |
| 1:02.1 | And unfortunately, came out yesterday that more than 60 people are fear dead after a Russian bomb destroyed a school that was being used as a shelter. |
| 1:09.8 | Authorities say there were about 90 people inside and 30 were rescued. And today is Victory Day in Russia. It's an annual celebration. |
| 1:17.8 | And they had a parade with all their nuclear missiles rolling down the street in front of Putin. We gave a speech and everything. The other big stories this weekend were all the visits to the country. |
| 1:26.5 | First Lady Jill Biden spent her Mother's Day meeting with Ukrainians. According to the Washington Post, she visited a classroom where children were making art projects for their moms. |
| 1:34.7 | Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also paid a visit to Ukraine as did Bono and the edge from you to they perform some songs at a subway station in Kiev. |
| 1:45.2 | Having those people been through enough. I'm kidding. I love them. A Ukrainian musician was there to perform some songs with them too. It was very powerful. I have that video in our Instagram stories right now if you want to see it. At first thing pod. |
| 1:57.3 | Let's go! |
| 1:58.3 | All right, all right. On to sports. Man, what a busy sports weekend. First off, I know you're dying to know if the horse I picked on the Kentucky Derby. |
| 2:07.8 | No, I chose Modanigl just because I liked his name Modanigl. He did not win. Rich Strike, an 80-to-1 long shot. He was the winner. It was the second biggest upset in Kentucky Derby history. It's crazy. |
| 2:19.9 | The Miami Grand Prix was held yesterday and you're not going to believe this, but Modanigl won that one. |
| 2:25.6 | No, Max Verstappen was the winner, but the real story was the star power in attendance. I have a photo in our Instagram stories right now of Michael Jordan, David Beckham, Tom Brady and Lewis Hamilton all posing together. |
| 2:38.7 | In boxing, this is a big one, Canelo Alvarez lost his second professional fight ever. A Russian boxer named Dimitri Bival was the one to beat Canelo. |

| 2:57.4 | And then he went on to win the Madrid Open. Super impressive. I'm sure that's a name tennis fans will get very familiar with in the coming years. |
| 3:04.3 | Okay. Not to some entertainment headlines. Now, this one's a bummer. You may have seen a break over the weekend, but Fred Savage is no longer working as an executive producer slash director over at the ABC reboot of the Wonder Years. |
