“He did what?”: Meghan Trainor’s TMI about husband strikes again

April 19, 2023 by WDNY Radio

It’s a fact: Meghan Trainor has no filter when it comes to her personal life. But her latest revelation might just make you forget her now-legendary “side-by-side toilets” story.

Speaking to People, the singer, who’s pregnant with her second child, reveals that during her first pregnancy, her husband Daryl Sabara shaved her legs when her belly got too big for her do it herself. And he didn’t stop at her legs.

“He shaved everything,” Trainor tells People. “For the C-section [with my son Riley], I don’t know why, but I was like, ‘I want a clear path. I want nothing in the way, so make sure it’s gorgeous down there,’ so they could see everything. And he did that for me.”

And after Meghan had that C-section, she says, she had to wear diapers — so guess who changed them, and picked up her dirty underwear?

As Meghan notes, “Some husbands, some couples we talk to, they’re like, ‘He did what?’ And I’m like, ‘Well, how else would I get them up?’ I don’t get it. I’m like, ‘How do people survive without a Daryl?'”

Meghan says she’s now reached the point in her second pregnancy where she “can’t see…can’t reach…can’t bend,” but, she boasts that Daryl will “do anything for me…when I have to get up to pee, I say, ‘Push,’ and Daryl rolls me off [the bed].”

Despite those challenges, Meghan — whose book about pregnancy, birth and motherhood, Dear Future Mama arrives on April 25 — can’t wait to have more kids.

“I’m the best version of me. Each kid’s going to bring a new version of me that I think is going to be bada** — so I need four, at least!”

‘The Mandalorian’ season 3 finale now streaming on Disney+

April 19, 2023 by WDNY Radio

On Wednesday, Lucasfilm dropped the season three finale of The Mandalorian.

The cliffhanger penultimate episode ended with Pedro Pascal‘s Din Djarin, Katee Sackhoff‘s Bo-Katan Kryze and their Mando mates ambushed on the home planet Mandalore, after finding a secret Imperial facility led by Giancarlo Esposito‘s Moff Gideon.

Bo-Katan and most of her allies manage to escape, but Din is captured and brought to face Gideon, who not only has a shiny superpowered Dark Trooper suit, but an army of commandos outfitted in Mandalorian-type gear. He orders an airstrike to wipe out the Mandalorian fleet and the warrior clan once and for all.

Without spoilers, the finale opens with the Mandalorians desperately trying to warn their allies in a last-ditch episode to save their people and regroup to retake their planet.

The final chapter of the season also finally reveals what Gideon has been up to with Grogu’s, aka Baby Yoda’s, DNA, in a callback to the first season, and also shows just what the little guy can do piloting his new modified IG-11 droid body.

The finale also sees Bo-Katan and Gideon finally facing off for the Darksaber, a weapon tied by legend to the Mandalorians’ fate, and a jetpack dogfight sequence reminiscent of some of Star Wars: The Clone Wars‘ most celebrated battle scenes.

Disney is the parent company of ABC News.

Taylor Swift was the only star who did “due diligence” when offered $100 million FTX deal, says lawyer

Taylor Swift was the only star who did “due diligence” when offered 0 million FTX deal, says lawyer

Stars who served as celebrity ambassadors for the now-discredited crypto exchange FTX could be on the hook legally for billions of dollars — and it turns out Taylor Swift narrowly avoided the same fate.

In the latest episode of The Scoop podcast, attorney Adam Moskowitz talks about how he’s suing stars like Shaquille O’Neal, Tom Brady and Larry David in a class action lawsuit. The suit contends that, by promoting FTX, the stars were were promoting the sale of unregistered securities, which is illegal in the U.S.

Moskowitz, who’s seeking $5 billion in the lawsuit, says he doesn’t understand why these stars’ handlers didn’t bother to find out more about the company before their clients made digital and TV ads for FTX. The only person he says did their due diligence was Taylor.

“The one person I found that did that was Taylor Swift,” Moskowitz says. “In our discovery, Taylor Swift actually asked that: ‘Can you tell me that these are not unregistered securities?'”

In December of 2022, the Financial Times reported that Taylor and FTX were in negotiations for a $100 million deal involving ticketing and NFTs, but talks collapsed in November.

One former FTX employee told the Financial Times the company was looking for a “light degree of endorsement” from Taylor on social media, but another source insisted, “Taylor would not, and did not, agree to an endorsement deal. The discussion was around a potential tour sponsorship that did not happen.”

FTX filed for bankruptcy in November. The company’s founder, Sam Bankman-Fried, has pleaded not guilty to fraud, conspiracy to commit money laundering and conspiracy to defraud the U.S., among other charges.

Pentagon’s ‘UFO’ tracking efforts focus of Senate hearing

April 19, 2023 by WDNY Radio

(WASHINGTON) — In a rare open hearing, lawmakers on Wednesday are set to question the head of the Pentagon’s office charged with tracking UFOs — or what the Defense Department calls unexplained anomalous phenomena (UAP).

The director of the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, Sean M. Kirkpatrick, will testify before the Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities on the AARO’s mission and budget, with some senators expressing concerns over whether the Pentagon’s effort is getting adequately funded.

This is only the second recent hearing on the subject — following the first one in more than 50 years happening last May.

The ongoing review by the U.S. intelligence community and the Pentagon of hundreds of UAP incidents reported by military personnel was one of the techniques that helped identify that China was carrying out a foreign surveillance program using balloons, a U.S. official said in February.

That review of UAP incidents in recent years, required by congressional legislation, helped inform the identification process of the threat posed by China’s balloon program and how it was being done according to the official.

The U.S. intelligence community said in January that the number of UFO reports involving U.S. military personnel is increasing, “enabling a greater awareness of the airspace and increased opportunity to resolve” what is actually being reported.

Roughly half of the new incidents reported in the report had terrestrial explanations, the report said.

The increase in reporting is being partially attributed to the continuing effort to destigmatize the reporting of such incidents and to focus on the potential safety risks they could pose to U.S. personnel.

The report released by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence said that since its first June 2021 unclassified report on what are now called Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs), it is now aware of 510 such reports.

That is significantly more than the 144 incidents reviewed in the initial report, only one of which could be explained.

The report said the Pentagon’s new office looking at UAP reports has looked at 366 new reported incidents and initially determined that about half of them have “unremarkable characteristics.”

Twenty-six are being attributed to drones, 163 are characterized as balloons or balloon-like entities, and six are attributed to clutter.

Judge delays hearing for suspect in classified document leak

April 19, 2023 by WDNY Radio

(BOSTON) — The federal magistrate judge overseeing Jack Teixeira’s case granted his request to delay a detention hearing that was scheduled for Wednesday.

Teixeira, the Massachusetts Air National Guardsman charged with leaking national defense information online, sought to postpone the hearing so his attorneys could have more time to address arguments for keeping him in federal custody, according to a court filing.

Teixeira, 21, has been held since his arrest last week on two charges related to the posting online of classified defense information.

The defense’s request to delay came hours before the hearing was scheduled to begin in Boston federal court.

He has been held in custody since his arrest after the FBI said he caused “serious damage to the national security of the United States.” According to a criminal complaint unsealed last week after his arrest, Teixeira “improperly and unlawfully retained and transmitted national defense information to people not authorized to receive it.”

He began posting classified information on Discord in December, according to the complaint.

At first the material appeared as paragraphs of text. Then, when Teixeira allegedly became concerned he could be discovered copying material at work, “he began taking the documents to his residence and photographing them,” the complaint said.

Teixeira has yet to enter a plea to the charges.
