Hi there. Hello. Hello. Before we get to the show real quick, I do have an announcement. I have half of an announcement really.

I'm sorry to say that this is going to be the last week of this podcast for the foreseeable future at least and at least in this form.

But for now, I had an opportunity pop up that I could not possibly turn down very excited about it. But yeah, I'm sad to be stepping away from this. I love doing this.

Yeah, I want to bring some version of this back before too long. Maybe it's going to be later in the day or something. I don't know, but I do love this and I appreciate each and every one of you that make this a part of your day.

So thank you for being a part of this with me and for all the support. It means the world to me. I can't possibly thank you enough.

But I'm still here this week. Still here all week. So let's get going. It's Monday, September 25, 2023 and it starts right now.

Okay. All right. It's first thing with Kevin Mann. There's a ton of stuff going on today. I feel like this is going to be a long show.

Before we get to the news, a few celebrity birthdays, rapper slash actor Donald Glover, rapper slash actor TI and rapper slash actor Will Smith.

That's kind of wild. I'll celebrate any birthdays today. Also Catherine's A to Jones. I wish you wrapped singer Rosalia Scotty Pippin, Mark Hamill and Michael Douglas. Happy birthday, y'all.

And tonight, September 25, 2023 is Yam Kapoor. It began at sunset last night and ends at nightfall tonight.

It's the holiest day of the year in Judaism, a day for solemn reflection and atonement, a day for prayer and meditation in the Jewish community.

All right. Let's get going. We always start with the top story. The big one here this morning at broke last night. The writers guild and the Hollywood studios have reached a tentative deal to end the strike.

It's been just about five months, 146 days since May 2nd, around 11,500 members of the writers guild have been off the job.

This is a three year contract agreement that still has to be approved by the unions board and members, which is expected to happen soon.

And with that, a bunch of the daytime and late night talk shows can return to work, but there is still the sag after strike. That one's not over. So Hollywood is still not quite back to business as usual, but this is a giant step in that direction.

Also a side note here. You remember how Drew Carey was paying for lunch at a certain restaurant in Burbank for any WGA members during the strike.

Well, as of now, this just came up that bill is right around half a million dollars. I'd have to abandon these extra happy. The strike is ending.

All right. Okay. Getting to sports here. Start with a sad one. A former professional hockey player lost his life over the weekend. Nick Cardilis.

He was the Anaheim docks for a few years. A lot of people might know him as the former fiance of Savannah, Chris Lee. Well, he was on his motorcycle when he reportedly ran a stop sign and hit an SUV. He was 29 years old.

At the football news now, the dolphins scored the most points of any team since 1966 yesterday when they beat the Broncos 70 to 20.

I was a franchise record for them. They have now joined the very exclusive 70 point club this job dolphins as a different one out of Chicago, $100,000 worth of equipment was reportedly stolen from soldier field, the home of the bears.

This burglary took place last week. The thieves are riding mowers and other utility vehicles as of now know arrests have been made police are investigating and more on my bears coming up in a minute.
