This blog is on the news. One of the main points of the news was extreme weather. There has crazily, been snow in New York, floods in Texas, and one of the most intense tornadoes in history in Oklahoma. The tornado in Oklahoma hit a town that had already been hit in the last 20 years. It also covered how Boston was recovering from the bombing. In addition, it spoke about an incident of sexual assault at West Point on a woman that dropped out of West Point, then sued West Point. Another story was about a child that created home made bombs, planning to bomb his school, but his plan was foiled after the police found the bombs under a board in his mom's house. But, to end on a happy note, it talked about the only professional barbecue critic in the U.S. That's tasty!

Intentional Talk

The podcast i watched for my blog was Intentional Talk hosted by Chris Rose and Kevin Millar that is an actual show on MLB Network. It is a show on major events in baseball such as scandals, upcoming superstars, and game updates. It has many different sections such as Got HEEEEM!, That Was Awkward!, What Just Happened?, Best Interview In Baseball, Kevin's Highlights, and many more. They also run during the offseason, providing insight on the trading block, free agency, and minor leagues. My favorite part is Got HEEEEM! where they take an unsuspecting player, reporter, or coach that is either doing something funny or is getting pranked behind them. The podcasts I watched had an incident where they thought Boston Red Sox Pitcher Clay Buchholz had an illegal substance on his arm like he was throwing spitballs with sunscreen (The arm was shiny) but Al Leiter (Filling in for Millar while he was on vacation in Cabo San Lucas wth his wife for her birthday) demonstrated that it was powdered rosin with water and that the water makes it easy to get and lessens up the rosin's overpowering stick. They also talked about Brian McCann of the Atlanta Braves after being sent to the minors because of a shoulder surgery. Those were the main points of my podcast!
