Today's episode of the Mo News podcast will have very limited commercial interruptions brought to you exclusively by the American Petroleum Institute.

0:11.2

Hey, everybody, it is Monday, May 18th. You're listening to the Mo News podcast. I'm Oswinunu. And I'm Jill Wagner. This is the place where we bring you just the facts. And where we read all the

0:22.1

news and read between the lines. So you don't have to, Jill, it's my birthday week. Gemini season

0:29.0

is upon us. It's all very, very exciting times here on the Mo News podcast. Two Geminize,

0:35.8

by the way. Two Geminized.

0:38.1

Four personalities bring you this podcast.

0:40.1

We like to remind you of that this time of year.

0:42.3

My birthday is up first and then Jill in a couple weeks.

0:45.9

Take that for what it's worth.

0:47.4

In case you couldn't tell, we like to talk.

0:50.3

We like to ask questions.

0:51.9

We are interested in many things.

0:53.8

Moshe is interested in like many, many, many things.

0:56.9

It's one of those as a communication sign. If you're into the zodiac at all, the Gemini. And that's actually one of the reasons I've always found there are a lot of people born this time of year who happen to be in newsrooms. I think we're all sort of ADD. We like to jump from thing to thing. And I think it actually, well, in some professions would be a bad thing. In journalism, it turns out to be a positive thing, especially with breaking news.

I don't know. I think I don't know if I've mastered anything. But I have reported on almost everything in my life. So. One other note before we get started here with the headlines. This will be the final week of the late show, Stephen Colbert, after a decade on the air.

1:45.9

Of course, CBS announced last year that they were canceling the show, but they still let him

1:51.6

run through the final season here, and this Thursday will mark his final episode.

1:56.4

They've announced so far a few of the final guests that'll include John Stewart and

2:00.8

Steven Spielberg on Tuesday night.

2:02.7

They have a show tonight. They're calling the worst of the late show, Stephen Colbert, which they say will not be a clip show, but I guess maybe bloopers or something like that.

2:11.5

Springsteen will perform at some point this week. And notably, Jill, on Thursday, Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimball, his two competitors, will air repeats, will air old shows.

2:21.7

So all of the focus is on Stephen for his final night on Thursday night.

2:25.8
