The Scoop for May 8, 2020

The Rock knows how to makes someone feel special. He just gave a big shoutout to a teacher from Virginia who retired after 39 years and happens to be a huge Rock fan
And because he’s The Rock, he couldn’t just leave it at a simple thank you.
He also sent her some tequila.
I’m sure she loved it. She might have loved it a bit more if he delivered it in person, but hey, baby steps right Carole?


Elon Musk and his partner just had a baby, and his name is something else. It’s spelled X Æ A-12. I haven’t mentioned it because I have no idea how to pronounce it, but here’s Elon himself telling Joe Rogan how to say his son’s name, and it ain’t easy.
I honestly think Joe’s response is pretty spot on.
He laughs.
I mean, I know this kid is going to be brought up in the lap of luxury, but come on, are they really going to call him Ex-Ash-Ay-12? His teachers are going to hate taking attendance.


Brian May from Queen is taking a break from social media. He’s recovering from, of all things, a torn BUTT MUSCLE. So how does one tear your butt muscle? Well, Brian did it in what he calls, quote, “a moment of over-enthusiastic gardening.”
Brian should know better. I mean, that’s what got Stumpy Pepys.
