    The Update- April 13th

    In today’s edition of The Update Journal… we’re dealing with three very different realities colliding at the exact same time—and none of them asked for permission. First, Pillsbury said “you know what this country needs right now?” Not lower prices, not peace and quiet—S’mores rolls. Because nothing says stability like waking up at 6am on your first day back and stress-eating something that tastes like a campfire and poor decisions. Somewhere, a nutritionist just fell to their knees in a Whole Foods. Meanwhile, the World Cup is coming to town, and New York said, “Great! Let’s cancel summer while we’re at it.” Concerts? Maybe. Food festivals? Good luck. Your cousin’s birthday party in the park? Denied. But don’t worry—you can still stand shoulder-to-shoulder with 80,000 people watching a match you barely understand while paying $14 for a bottle of water. Summer vibes… with restrictions. And then there’s today—the first day back after Spring Break. That magical moment where your alarm clock feels personal, your commute feels longer, and your brain is still somewhere between “vacation mode” and “I might quit and open a smoothie stand.” You realize very quickly… that this was the last long break until June. Yeah. Let that sit with you. Because if there’s one thing we’ve learned… reality always comes back. It just usually doesn’t bring snacks. In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Monday, dramatic video shows a masked gunman fleeing a New Jersey Chick-fil-A after a mass shooting at the restaurant on Saturday night. A maniac who slashed three elderly straphangers at Grand Central Terminal before he was shot dead by cops only kept his machete as protection, according to his friend. And out in the American West, Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell’s abrupt exit from the race for California governor left his rivals scrambling to lock down his former supporters in a crowded contest with no clear leader, injecting more turmoil into the campaign to lead the nation’s most populous state.

    The Update (Best Of Year 1 Archives)- April 12th

    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 1 of the show. As I've said numerous times before, Year 1 had a lot going on. The first year of Donald Trump's presidency, the October terror attack on the World Trade Center, and the introduction into the 5pm slot just to name a few. But also, the show sounded different back then- and I sounded different too as I was slowly finding my footing. There was also a rundown glitch that we corrected in Year 2. But despite that glitch, a lot of those shows were really fun and very informative. I hope you'll agree with me.

    The Update (Year 5 Archives)- April 10th

    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.
