Biden Wants America To Mask Up for 100 Days
(0:00) Show Open: Mask Up America
Biden says he will ask Americans to wear masks for the first 100 days he's in office (Is the country not wearing masks at all?)
Lots of female service workers are reporting that men are finding new ways to harass them with mask-related comments like, quote, "Let me see that pretty face under there" or "Take it off for me, just a quick flash."
(13:20) Entertainment News
George Foreman Thinks Mike Tyson Could Make a Serious Title Run Right Now
One of Carole Baskin's Volunteers Almost Lost an Arm to a Tiger
Warner Brothers Movies Will Hit HBO Max the Same Day They Hit Theaters in 2021
(25:35) A New "Tickle Bar" Is Opening, and It's Just What It Sounds Like
I'm not sure this is the business I'D open during a pandemic . . . or, you know, any other time either . . . but hey, different dreams for different folks.
There's a woman named Kimberly Haley-Coleman in Dallas. And she's opening the doors to her new business on Monday . . . called The Tickle Bar. And that name is really accurate. You literally go to this place and pay to be tickled.
Because of the pandemic, it'll be by appointment only. You show up, get a glass of wine, and then you're escorted into one of the five Moroccan-style tickle tents. You can go shirt on or off.
From there, you pick the tickling style you want: Hair play, back tickles, or both. And you can pay for 25 to 50 minutes. It costs $40 for the shorter session, and $60 for the longer one. Somehow, this is legit and NOT the front for prostitution that it 1,000,000% sounds like. I wish them all the best. (Dallas Observer)
(30:45) This Week in Science:
Drone Footage of the Massive Telescope from "GoldenEye" Collapsing
A massive radio telescope collapsed in Puerto Rico this week, and now there's video. It's called the Arecibo Observatory. (Arr-uh-SEE-bo) You might know it from the movies "GoldenEye" and "Contact". Luckily no one was hurt. It's not clear if they'll rebuild or not.
A new study found that if life ever existed on Mars, it might have been miles below the surface. The sun wasn't hot enough billions of years ago. But geothermal heat below the surface might have been enough to support life.
A team in China built a new jet engine that could hit Mach 16 . . . or 16 times the speed of sound. That's fast enough to get anywhere in the world in under two hours.
An A.I. program called AlphaFold did something humans have been trying to do for 50 years . . . understanding how "protein folding" works. Basically, it can map out the shapes of proteins that cause all sorts of diseases, including cancer. Which might sound boring, but it's HUGE news for biologists. A lot of experts have predicted A.I. would start to take the lead in medical research sometime between now and 2030. So this could be the beginning of that.
There's a new calculator where you can estimate your spot in line for the coronavirus vaccine. Spoiler: If you're a basically healthy adult who's not an essential worker, you're in the way, way back.
(43:45) Dumbass of the Day
Some Considerate Thieves Use Cones to Redirect Traffic Before Blowing Up an ATM
A Bald Man Is Arrested for Causing a Scene at a Hair Salon
The mayor of a town in Kentucky was arrested for a DUI after she fell asleep in the White Castle drive-thru line and then crashed into a pole.
A Wendy's manager in Tennessee was arrested for biting a teenage employee during her shift.
(52:40) "Good News" Stories from the Coronavirus Outbreak
Pilot, 52, pulls off 'textbook emergency landing' on a busy Minnesota interstate - hitting one car but injuring no one - before coming to a screeching halt
Someone in Chicago dropped a gold coin and a small gold bar into two Salvation Army buckets over the weekend. Together, they're worth around $3,700.
Young scientist, 15, is named TIME's first-ever Kid of the Year for her use of technology to lead social change including a device that detects lead in water and an app that detects cyberbullying
A teacher in India just won an annual competition called the Global Teacher Prize that comes with a $1 million cash prize. And right after he won, he announced he's taking half of the money and giving it to the other nine finalists. He said he's doing it because together, "we can make this world a better place."
