Welcome on the Friday We've made it, February seventh. I
hope you're awesome. And here's what's going on. The very
first big game halftime show, by the way, because a
big game is coming up this weekend. But the first
one that they ever had consisted of two marching bands,
a trumpet player, two men in jetpacks, and three hundred pigeons.
We've come a long way since, Kendrick Lamar. Now, when

(00:26):
it comes to America's favorite dessert for the big game,
strawberry shortcake dominates the map. Fourteen states. That is their
favorite dessert. All right, bon jovies, It's My Life just
hit one billion Spotify streams. It is the third song
of Theirs to do that. Florida is a number one
state for people to retire, but now a Midwestern state
is following closely behind. Minnesota is now number two, the

(00:48):
number two state to retire. Kelly Clarkson just announced her
new residency at the Coliseum in Vegas. She'll have eighteen

Cracker Barrel is calling out waffle House for their eggs surcharge.

are going to be closing in the US. Oh I
love those for bathing suits. But all right, there you go.
That's a look at your lighter side of the news.
You're fully up to date for this Friday. I'm assuming
it'll still be online. You get those bathing suits, but hey,
it is Friday. It is February seventh.
