The Scoop for Feb. 4, 2020

The Political Season officially kicked off last night with the Iowa caucus, and it wasn’t super smooth. There were huge delays with officials waiting up to 90 minutes on the phone to report their results. As a matter of fact, Wolf Blitzer got one of the officials who was on hold with his bosses, when they finally picked up.
But, he took too long to answer, and they hung up on him.
This is just one of the reasons why the political system seems so messed up, we can’t even come up with an efficient way to report results. Welcome to the political season everybody!


Celebrity couples really are like us. Even when they break up. Take Ashton Kutcher and his ex Demi Moore. He says things with them are, quote, “all good”. But, like real exes, there’s a bit of a catch.
“We don’t hang out.”
I get it. But because of the kids that Ashton spent so much time around, things aren’t so cut and dried.
“I make a really conscious effort to stay in touch with the girls.”
Kids first my man. Like I said, celebs are just like us. Just richer, more famous and prettier.


I don’t know if you’ve heard, but there is still a fifth Indiana Jones movie in the works. And the people behind it want you to know that Harrison Ford will be involved, and it’s not a reboot. Nope. It’s a, quote, “continuation”
Continuation from what? The Crystal Skull? No thanks. That turd was 12 years ago. If I want to watch a good Indiana Jones movie, I’ll watch Raiders or Last Crusade. Can we just move on?

And in case you’ve forgotten, here’s the last movie’s trailer.
