would be born in Chicago. Warren Zevonne was not meant
to be a star, at least it didn't look like it.
(02:40):
He toured as a keyboardist. Nobody knew who he was
at the time. With the Everly Brothers in the seventies,
he would have just been a footnote of history. He
was trying to kickstart a solo career and he would
get a boost, a big boost when Linda Ronstadt began
(03:02):
recording several of his tunes and people started saying who
wrote that, Oh, that guy, and they gave him a listen,
and once they did, there you have it. Mel Blanc,

John Belushi was born on this day in nineteen forty
nine in Chicago. One of the original cast members on
Saturday Night Live. He would form the Blues Brothers with
his fellow Saturday Night Live star Dan Aykroyd. You know,
he tends to get a little romanticized because he died
during his prime. And I wonder, like a Chris Farley,
(06:24):
how much of Chris Farley's dangerous behaviors we're wanting to
be so much like Belushi. You know, our creative director
Jim Mutt said he finds Jim Belushi to be funnier.
I've never heard anybody say that. I've never heard anybody
think Jim is funnier than John. Do you no?
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Me neither.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Anyway, when I think of all the great work of
John Belushi, I think about one of the things that
comes to mind, and we play it here often is
the speech from the film Animal House. Such a great moment.

Speaker 13 (11:35):
Signs and wonders, Signs and wonders.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
DeAndre Flanagan's capital murder trial a few weeks ago in
Houston brought us.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
To review the details.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
He was. This man was accused of murdering his two
year old daughter pretty evil while facetiming his baby mama,
the child's mother, and the child's grandfather. Back in March
(12:15):
of twenty three. He murders this baby and has his
baby mama and her father.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Watching him do it.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
This was the original story from Khou Today.
Speaker 6 (12:37):
A judge doubled the bond of a father accused in
the death of his child during a police chase.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Yeah prosecutor to say murder charges against DeAndre Flanagan could
be upgraded to capital murder depending on the results of
the autopsy on his two year old little girl. Tonight,
we hear from the child's mother, Jason Miles Life from
the Harris County Jail with the latest Jason, Hey.
Speaker 7 (13:00):
There, lenn Yea. The suspect, Deondrey Flanagan is now being
held down here on a two million dollar bond, increased
this morning by a judge from one million dollars. The
mother of his child believes Flanagan just did not want
them to move on without him. Photos of two year
old Zavella reminds her heartbroken mother, Kirsten Watson, of the
(13:22):
simple things she'll miss.
Speaker 14 (13:23):
I give her her baths, we lay together, we sleep
together like and now I won't be able to do
any of that anymore.
Speaker 7 (13:30):
Zavella's father, Deandrey Flanagan, appeared in court for the first
time this morning, two days after allegedly murdering the toddler.
Speaker 14 (13:37):
I'm just trying to wrap my head around why how
did you do this to your little girl?
Speaker 7 (13:43):
It happened, prosecutor say, after Flanagan got the girl from daycare,
confronted Watson, who works at this walmart, then snatched her phone.
He later led deputies on a forty five minute chase
with Zeviya unrestrained while allegedly facetiming Watson and Savella's grandfather,
showing the girl being assaulted as they tried to reason
(14:03):
with him.
Speaker 14 (14:04):
I know in her mind, she probably was just wondering,
like what.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Did I do?
Speaker 14 (14:09):
Like what are you doing this to me for? Like
I love you? Like why are you hurting me?
Speaker 7 (14:16):
Curtis Watson was hopeful things might end peacefully.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
But then he showed me my de lifeless, corpse of
life granddaughter.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
I wouldn't wish that on anyone, and to have to
go through that type of anguish and pain.
Speaker 7 (14:28):
A tactical team eventually arrested Flanagan after a standoff, and
prosecutors say charges may be upgraded to capital murder once
his daughter's autopsy is complete.
Speaker 19 (14:39):
It's my suspicion that Zebiah died due to strangulation, which
would not be the result of any sort of blunt
force impacts that she sustained in the car driving with
the defendant.
Speaker 7 (14:50):
Zavella's mother says she was just trying to end things
with Flanagan, but is now left without her only child
as well.
Speaker 14 (14:58):
All I was trying to do was provide for my
daughter in like move on, and I guess he just
didn't want that. Didn't want that for us.
Speaker 7 (15:06):
And prosecutors say flant against criminal history includes attacking his
own brother, who has special needs. Flan Against public defender
did not comment following today's hearing. Meanwhile, the Sheriff's office
says it did respond to a call last week regarding
allegations that Flanagan was making terroristic threats. However, there was
insufficient evidence to file criminal charges at the time. Recording
(15:28):
live from the Harris County Jail, Jason mileshou eleven News.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
I know from domestic cases when partners try and leave
is when the risk is highest. Jason, thank you man.
Speaker 7 (15:40):
The term anal intercourse on your program.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Michael Ivant to this story for journalistic purposes. I don't
like to cut into one of my favorite songs in
the world that we play at this time every Friday.
But I gotta have enough time to get to this
story because I'm almost missed it for the whole week.
Thornton Township is a community in the Chicago area, and
(16:08):
it's where a woman has been named America's worst mayor.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Her name is.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Tiffany Hinyard, not Thornton, not Thornton, it is Thornton. Yeah,
her name is Tiffany Hinyard and.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
She is, uh, she's a doozy.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
The board of trustees there has hired former mayor Beetlejuice
Lori Lightfoot to look into the corruption by Tiffany Hinyard.
So imagine you're such a bad mayor that your board
of trustees hires Lori Lightfoot, the corrupt former mayor of Chicago,
to come in and look at what you're doing. She
(17:00):
comes in and her investigation reveals that Hinyard intentionally hid spending,
stole money, in other words, and that's when the wigs
started flying. Oh, yes, the wigs started flying, all right.
So we'll start with here is an activist named Jedediah
who ends up ends up getting punched by the mayor.
(17:22):
She calls the mayor Hinyard a bitch, and then I mean,
the wigs are flying.
Speaker 13 (17:30):
We've been hearing about what you've been doing, and this
is my time because I think association that we're gonna chase,
we're gonna.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Say, you're just gonna have to imagine it. ABC seven
(18:21):
in Chicago telling about the brawl.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
It happened during public comment, fists flying in a moment
of chaos that residents described as disgraceful.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
That uh should never happen.
Speaker 9 (18:37):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (18:38):
I just couldn't believe that it came to that.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Moments earlier, activist Jedediah Brown had called supervisor Tiffany Henyard
an expletive, and when he appeared to walk toward her,
supporters jumped in, the result in all out brawl that
multiple witnesses say involved Hanyard herself.
Speaker 16 (18:54):
It was one thing when the guys were fighting, but
when she jumped in at out was just taken aback.
Speaker 7 (19:01):
I was floored she jumped in.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
She hit her head on the table, so I don't
know she might be injured.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Brown was carried out by security and police were called,
but it wasn't over. It took several minutes for tempers
to finally cool before the fight. There was plenty of
verbal sparring at this first meeting since Trustee Stephanie Wiedeman
was selected to fill a vacancy on the board at
a meeting last week of township electors, ending a political
standoff over the position that led to a government shutdown
(19:28):
with Weedaman, the board finally able to approve the township's tax,
livy ordinance and insurance, ending the shutdown.
Speaker 16 (19:35):
The town show will be reopened tomorrow. We will go
back to operating our vehicles on our buses.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
We'll be out and running.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
The board also defying Hanyard, voting to put on leave
with pay two of her associates and to hire independent
auditors to probe their work. But the abrupt, violent end
to the evening, leaving residents upset. This meeting to do
the people's work marred by ugliness.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
The people's were marred, but.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
Good grief.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Let's enjoy now together a montage of the stupid things
that woman has said.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
We created a montage of just a few of.
Speaker 16 (20:18):
Them, and anything as relates to with credit cards. As
you heard me speak today, and my boy mean about
I do not handle that.
Speaker 7 (20:25):
Some of those charges are for you though, No, sir,
you didn't go to Las Vegas.
Speaker 15 (20:31):
M What is that?
Speaker 5 (20:37):
Okay?
Speaker 12 (20:38):
You don't know if you were in Las Vegas?
Speaker 15 (20:40):
Of course I do.
Speaker 12 (20:41):
Did you fly first class to Las Vegas?
Speaker 16 (20:43):
Any other questions.
Speaker 7 (20:44):
You're not going to answer how taxpayer dollars are being spent?
Speaker 4 (20:47):
That seems odd.
Speaker 15 (20:48):
I just asked it.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
What do you mean?
Speaker 16 (20:50):
I just answered your question.
Speaker 7 (20:51):
You said you wouldn't answer about Las Vegas.
Speaker 15 (20:54):
You asked me a question, and I responded.
Speaker 8 (20:58):
To this moment, right, y'all, key handisry. Look as what.
Speaker 15 (21:07):
Y'all forget. I am the leader they want to hear
from the mayor.
Speaker 16 (21:10):
If y'all ain't like that yet, of course I'm gonna
give it away a million dollars to help you tell your
mortgage and your rank.
Speaker 18 (21:16):
Of course I am the mayor, not the trustees that
don't do nothing, that only run.
Speaker 15 (21:23):
They were getting scrutinized in the media.
Speaker 18 (21:25):
For what loving on the people showing them that they
matter to us.
Speaker 15 (21:29):
We going through the fires for y'all. It's black kids.
Three months as the first African American female mayor of Dodson.
Of course, miss understood. Y'all should be shamed. Of y'allself.
Speaker 18 (21:42):
Y'all black, y'all black, and y'all sitting up here beating
and attacking on a black woman that's in power.
Speaker 15 (21:50):
Y'all should be shamed of y'allself.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Y'all should be shamed of y'allself. She the mayor not
too the people, won't. She reminds me of d. D.
Slaughter being which hunt.
Speaker 8 (22:01):
I've been which hunt since day one. I've been fighting
acquisitions after acquisition.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Imagine going to get a multimillion dollar loan to build
a building and build a business in a community, and
that's your mayor.
Speaker 8 (22:16):
I've been which hunt since day one. I've been fighting
acquisitions after acquisition.
Speaker 6 (22:23):
M I did went, you know, to Washington, DC, and
I did meet with Senator Maryland Drew. I ran on
the basis of interrogatory team.
Speaker 8 (22:33):
Yeah, I've been which hunt, you know since day one.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
One thing you will hear the left say in the
media say, can we all just get along? We can
get more done.
Speaker 8 (22:42):
We just argue about things that we shouldn't not be
arguing about.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Mmm mm hmmm. You know, all this got me thinking.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
The wigs flying and the fist flying in the organ
and the all of it in the calling of the
bitch and all that. It got me to thinking, you know,
the whigs can't fly unless you buy a fly a wig,
and it got me to thing.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Remember when Shirley Culicker called a wig shop.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
Hello, how you during, Honey?
Speaker 17 (23:15):
I'm calling to ask you about the wigs you got
down there? Do you make any wigs out of the
two point two pound polyester fiber that is humidity and fireproof?
What kind of wig y'all have down there that's on sale?
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Honey?
Speaker 17 (23:32):
It's a human humidity wig. Oh, he's synthetic human hair.
And do that stay right looking? I mean, do it
mess up on your head or do it shrink up
when it rains and anything? Well, you know, my hair
is just so raggedy. I hate to go to a
wig stronger wig, but look like I'm gonna have to.
Speaker 2 (23:54):

Speaker 17 (23:55):
Do y'all give a discount for ignorance?
Speaker 7 (23:58):
Okay?

of when Charlie cue Liquor called the whig Shot. She
