Good News: There can be no doubt, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are the real deal! During Travis’s quick trip to Argentina, when Taylor wasn’t on stage, they were alone! I’ll admit I had my doubts, but as The Monkees would say, I am a believer!

Bad News: While there’s no proof, rumors getting louder from people who knew Mathew Perry who say he may have had a drug re-lapse leading to his death.

Movie News: I said the new Marvels movie wouldn’t do anywhere near the numbers the 2019 movie did, and it didn’t! The 2019 Captain Marvel domestic opening did a whopping $153 million! The new Marvels opening domestic weekend did a sad, under $50 million! That’s $100 million less that the 2019 Marvels domestic opening! The mustard has finally come off the super hero hot dog. … But hold on, there will be be a new Superman!

Movie Nugget: Opening Friday a movie you will either love or hate. I loved it! Next Goal Wins, the true story of the 2001 American Samoa soccer team, the worst soccer team in World Cup history, who lost to Australia 31-0. It’s a sad, heart warming and a hilarious story. American Samoa is 2,563 miles from Hawaii. I’ve been there several times, it’s one of my all time favorite places on the planet! Instant Pop Quiz Question. What is the capital of American Samoa? Answer – Pago Pago. 

And here’s a story. Decades and decades ago, a had a very rich friend and mentioned to him I had just returned from Pago and there wasn’t a coin laundry mat on the island. He paid me to go back and set one up. Took two weeks, but I did it. That’s a true nugget!
