To The Weekend

Yeah, a real, working lightsaber, or so they say! We'll get into it more during headlines, but Disney Twitter is abuzz over this development from a recent Disney Parks virtual announcement.

Also, Nick tells us why Tim Locastro is a ballplayer to watch and Zenski totally makes things awkward when transitioning between segments - but, he tries to redeem himself in another round of "Name that BPM". If you have a better name for this, let us know!

You ever just look at someone and say "wow, they look so much better clean shaven", or vice versa? Professional athletes can switch up their hairstyles every now and then, but sometimes, the new styles should have been kept on the sidelines. This week, we introduce a new segment ranking athletes by how good their flow is.

We also follow up on a few stories discussed last week included MLB's opening day, the Francisco Lindor deal and how a brand you know from food shopping is helping someone cash in some coins.

After days of being stuck in the Suez Canal, the massive container ship Ever Given is free! We talk about the impact that blockade had on the global economy this week. Speaking of the economy, at the time of recording, the New York Mets were still negotiating a contract extension with Francisco Lindor. Since then, they've reached a ten year, $341 million deal and Zenski can't be happier about it! More on that next week in addition to a look at the 2021 MLB season after opening day.

It's an unusual year for the Super Bowl, but that doesn't mean there's not a lot to talk about. For example, why do so many shows insist on ranking snacks? We'll do better by ranking halftime shows. Also, Tom Brady is playing in another championship game and that has some people disappointed. Never fear, Karski is here with a therapy session to help you relax.
