Friday, May 29 - Live, Laugh, Lisa #2

Lisa Lampanelli is live in studio for the second edition of “Live, Laugh, Lisa.” Actor Sam Elliott is opening up about his surprisingly personal connection to Smokey Bear, and honestly, it kind of makes perfect sense. With that legendary voice, he almost feels genetically engineered to talk about campfires and forest safety. Meanwhile, a brand-new trailer for Steven Spielberg’s upcoming movie Disclosure Day has conspiracy-minded internet detectives going into full meltdown mode. Some people online are convinced the movie could somehow be tied to an actual future government disclosure involving alien life. Apparently, we’ve now reached the point where movie trailers are being treated like possible soft launches for extraterrestrial announcements. In Utah, a teenager suffered life-threatening injuries while trying to film a social media stunt involving something called “couch surfing.” No, not the app where you stay at strangers’ houses. This version involves riding a couch while it’s being pulled by a moving vehicle. Authorities are once again warning people that chasing viral content for social media can turn dangerous incredibly fast. Down in Florida, a woman named Kathleen Thomas recently had a traffic citation dismissed after an officer accused her of illegally holding a cellphone with her right hand while driving. There was just one major problem with that accusation: Thomas is an amputee and has been missing her right hand from the elbow down. The citation was eventually thrown out, and bodycam footage from the stop was released this week, causing plenty of people online to question how the situation escalated in the first place. And finally, a man in Pennsylvania took the phrase “home wrecker” to an entirely new level after police say he began literally tearing apart his own house with an excavator after his wife told him their marriage was over. Authorities say Erik Pierswza caused major damage to the property before eventually turning himself in to police. Divorce is obviously stressful, but most people usually settle for deleting Facebook photos and passive aggressive posts, not demolition equipment.
