    The Update (Year 5 Archives)- July 26th

    Hello everyone! We're going into #TheUpdate vault to play one of our many episodes throughout our many years of the show. For today's episode, we go into the world of Year 5 of The Update. When we first started this then-show at WKRB in 2017, the first year had a lot of things going on. Donald Trump's first year in office, mass shootings worldwide, and the Great American Solar Eclipse to name just a few. In Year 5, it was more of the same. There was the Russian war in Ukraine, more mass shootings in America, and the overturning of Roe V. Wade to name just a few that we'll mention. But also, after more than two years out on the road, we made our way to a new studio at UD Team in the summer of 2022. Oh, and one last thing- be on the lookout for some WKRB highlights as we looked back on five years of memories.

    We've done a lot of episodes throughout our many years of #TheUpdate, but some of them are my personal favorites. Every month, we're going to go into The Update vault and play one episode from my personal list of favorite episodes. I hope you enjoy them as much as i did hosting it.

    The Update (Best of Year 2)- July 11th

    Hello everyone! We're going into #TheUpdate vault to play one of our many episodes throughout our many years of the show. For today's episode, we're doing something a little bit different- a compilation of the best of Year 2 of the show. Having been in the anchor chair for a full year now, the amount of events just continued to pick up. Nikolas Cruz opening fire at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, Bill Cosby convicted on all three counts of aggravated indecent assault for drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand, and Brett Kavanaugh being confirmed to the Supreme Court just to name a few. But despite all the heaviness of the news, me (and occasionally Cris too) found a way to have some fun doing it.

    The Update- July 2nd

    Today in The Update Journal, love is apparently in the air — but so is panic, confusion, and at least one NYPD officer standing by the elevator wondering how this became their shift. We’re starting with the Empire State Building situation, where romance, daredevil behavior, and citywide trauma all met at the top of one of the most recognizable buildings on Earth. Because nothing says “big gesture” quite like making an entire city look up, freeze, and collectively ask, “Are we doing this today?” Then, we’re taking one last look back at Season 19: the season that needed a fan, a MetroCard memorial, and possibly a licensed emotional support counselor. From heat warnings and humidity crimes to transit betrayal, school-year chaos, summer watchlists, vampire feelings, and enough personal commentary to fill a group therapy session, Season 19 really put us through it. It laughed, it ranted, it sweated through its shirt, and at some point, it probably asked ConEd for mercy. And finally, The Last Word closes things out with “America at 250: Fireworks, Freedom, and One Last Word Before Season 20.” We’re saluting the country’s big birthday with fireworks, history, summer chaos, and the kind of patriotic reflection that comes right before a long holiday weekend. America has made it to 250 years old, which means it deserves celebration, cake, and maybe a quick wellness check. So before Season 20 comes charging in with new drama, new segments, and fresh reasons to yell into the microphone, we’re giving Season 19 the sendoff it deserves: loud, funny, slightly sweaty, and deeply exhausted. In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Thursday, two people got to the top of the Empire State Building’s antenna and unfurled a banner about “the power of love” at midday, before descending, embracing, taking selfies and ultimately being arrested. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce will celebrate their wedding at Madison Square Garden on Friday night, according to a law enforcement official briefed on the security plans. And in Mississippi, a family whose 1-year-old child was killed when police fired into a moving car offered evidence that they say challenges the officers’ account that they were in danger when one opened fire.
