Hey y’all, well, the BIG day will be here in a few days, no, I'm not talking about Mother's Day... 420 Day will be upon us! For decades, Hostess marketed its wholesome, after-school-snack image. This year, the treat-maker kicked off its latest marketing campaign this week: parking a food truck in front of dispensaries and handing out free goodies. The Wienermobile knockoff is called the Munchie Mobile, and it will be dispersing snack cakes and Twinkies at various stops along the East Coast through the infamous weed holiday 4/20... Smoke & Brew, are you onboard!? So if the tariffs are freaking you out because you've been considering a new Apple iPhone, don't worry, Apple chartered a series of cargo flights over the past month to fly a combined 600 tons of iPhones out of India before the tariffs took effect last week, Reuters reported. That’s roughly 1.5 million devices, after accounting for packaging weight. So fuggedaboutit and wine on... oh, wait a minute!! Lastly, saw this from Samsung. They created a cordless vac that notifies you when you’re getting a phone call or text, making an activity you’ve been procrastinating on doing even easier to put off, right?!. Anyway, We'll be back on the beach at The Crab Shack in May, or y'all can catch us at The Rickhouse, check the schedule, there'll be a cover charge, but, it's a great venue, check it out and until then see you soon, thanks so much for supporting us, love y'all and roll on, ciao'!

Make Him an Offer: Kevin M. Johnson, 57, of Venice, Fla., got into an argument on Facebook with a friend, who he grew up with in Massachusetts. Johnson invited the unnamed friend to come to his home, the friend said, “to smooth things over”; he knew Johnson had guns, but both men agreed to not bring weapons. Johnson allegedly didn’t even open the door: he allegedly shot his presumably now-former friend through the door when he arrived. Johnson ran, and was found 12 hours later in the next county, where he was arrested on a warrant charging aggravated assault. The friend is recovering in a hospital. Johnson appears to be the same Kevin M. Johnson who appeared as an “associate” of the “Winter Hill Gang” in the 2022 gangster mini-series, Bloody Boston. (Sarasota Herald-Tribune, WBBH Fort Myers, IMDB) ...It’s sad when an actor starts believing in his own publicity.

Found Footage: The U.K.’s National Oceanography Centre was carrying out trials of a new robot submarine before sending it to the ocean for its primary work. While it was running more than 130 meters (426 feet) below the surface of Loch Ness in Scotland, its propellers snagged something. Not a monster, but a camera believed to have been deployed by the Loch Ness Investigation Bureau around 55 years ago to try to capture images of the fabled, but never actually seen, monster. “While this wasn’t a find we expected to make,” NOC’s Matt Kingsland said, “we’re happy that this piece of Nessie hunting history can be shared and perhaps at least the mystery of who left it in the loch can be solved.” The submarine — named Boaty McBoatface — will continue its trials. If that name sounds familiar, it was the winning name in an online contest 9 years ago (see “Jokey McJokeface”). (BBC) ...And it almost found Nessie McLochface.

Forget Something? A United Airlines flight from Los Angeles, Calif., to Shanghai, China, was diverted to San Francisco. Passengers got a notification: “Your flight diverted to San Francisco due to an unexpected crew-related issue requiring a new crew.” United gave more details in a statement later: “On Saturday, United flight 198 from Los Angeles to Shanghai landed at San Francisco International Airport as the pilot did not have their passport onboard.” It took around 3 hours to get a new crew in so the flight could continue. This has happened before: a flight from Los Angeles was delayed for hours because the pilot didn’t have their passport. It was the same United Airlines route, less than a week earlier. (San Francisco Chronicle) ...They left it on the other plane.
