TALK TO ME, TEXT ITA so-called boring Super Bowl sparks anything but a boring conversation. We kick off with the game itself and the joy of rooting against a dynasty, then pull the thread on why so many big-budget commercials felt airless—except a few that actually said something. From a tight end–driven colon cancer PSA to a moody Kurt Russell spot and the inevitable Budweiser tug, we weigh what worked, what whiffed, and why brand safety often kills memory.Then comes the curveball: we skipped the main halftime and tuned into the TPUSA All-American Halftime set that's ignited online debate. Kid Rock opens with an unapologetically profane throwback, yields to a hushed strings hymn, and returns—this time introduced by his given name—to deliver a revised Till You Can't with explicit Christian testimony. Whether you call it clumsy or courageous, the arc plays like staged repentance, forcing a bigger question: can performance art carry a believable redemption without asking fans to erase the past?Pregame theater wasn't subtle either. Patriots receiver Mac Hollins arrived in shackles and a prison jumpsuit, evoking supermax imagery and leaving everyone guessing—protest, performance, or pure persona? From there, the tone drops into a chilling headline: a fatal deep fryer incident at an Olive Garden that rattled first responders and listeners alike. We sit with the discomfort, talk candidly about mental health beyond slogans, and wrestle with how tragedy haunts familiar spaces.We close on the vanishing of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie and a ransom note demanding “USD,” a tiny detail that has former agents questioning whether the writer is even in the country—or wants to look that way. It's a masterclass in how small words can steer big investigations while the public fills gaps with speculation.If you're here for honest takes at the messy intersection of sports, culture, faith, and crime, you're in the right place.

Top Stories for January 31st Publish Date: January 31st PRE-ROLL: KIA Mall Of Georgia From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, January 31st and Happy Birthday to Jackie Robinson I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. Lanier Islands Resort offering Valentine's Day romantic getaway package Amid walkouts, GCPS affirms students’ right to expression, reminds them to follow rules Scott McCray’s lasting impact on downtown Lawrenceville All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: EAGLE THEATRE STORY 1: Lanier Islands Resort offering Valentine's Day romantic getaway package Lanier Islands Resort—where love stories seem to write themselves. With over a dozen dreamy indoor and outdoor wedding venues, it’s no wonder this lakeside gem has been the backdrop for countless “I do’s.” And this year? Valentine’s Day lands on a Saturday, making it the perfect excuse for a romantic escape. For couples looking to make a weekend of it, the resort’s Valentine’s Romantic Getaway has all the swoon-worthy details: champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries, cozy accommodations, a multi-course dinner at Sidney’s overlooking the lake, and breakfast the next morning. Want more? There’s spa treatments, snow fun at Margaritaville, or even a game day at Game Changer. Planning to pop the question? The resort’s wedding consultants can help you nail the moment, from finding the perfect spot to booking a photographer. Love is definitely in the air at Lanier Islands. STORY 2: Amid walkouts, GCPS affirms students’ right to expression, reminds them to follow rules Students across Gwinnett County are walking out of class, protesting immigration enforcement and the fear it’s brought into their schools. The district is trying to balance it all—supporting students’ voices while keeping things safe and orderly. The protests come as frustration grows nationwide over ICE’s actions, including the deaths of two U.S. citizens. Some students say they’re scared to even show up to school. The district reiterated its policy: ICE can’t enter non-public areas of schools without a judge-signed warrant. But fear lingers. Enrollment has dropped by thousands since ICE activity ramped up in 2025, according to the Gwinnett County Association of Educators. For now, GCPS is working with students to keep protests peaceful and on-campus. STORY 3: Scott McCray’s lasting impact on downtown Lawrenceville When Scott McCray first set his sights on expanding his restaurant footprint, downtown Lawrenceville wasn’t exactly buzzing. “It was quiet—really quiet,” he said. “Not much going on, but I saw potential.” That was back in the early 2000s, when the corner spot he wanted—a beat-up old drugstore—wasn’t even available. So, he waited. By 2006, McCray’s Tavern opened on Perry Street, and two decades later, it’s a cornerstone of Lawrenceville’s now-vibrant Square. Today, McCray owns nine restaurants, including Perry Street Chophouse and several McCray’s Taverns across metro Atlanta. But he’s not done yet. “We’ve got another building on the Square,” he teased. “Still figuring out what to do with it, but we’re working on something.” And then there’s St. Patrick’s Day—his annual “Perry Street festival” that shuts down the street, packs the rooftop deck, and unofficially kicks off spring. Reflecting on 20 years in the business, McCray still seems a little surprised. “I didn’t grow up dreaming about restaurants,” he said. “But once I opened my first place, I knew. It’s hard work, but I still love it. Every day.” We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles Markets - GCPS STORY 4: GIVE East's Candice Richardson named GCPS Teacher of the Year Dr. Candice Richardson didn’t take the usual path to teaching. In fact, her journey started far from a classroom—in a doctor’s office in Nassau, Bahamas, where she worked as a physician. But life has a funny way of rerouting us. Fifteen years ago, she moved to the U.S. with her husband and began the long, grueling process of earning her medical license here. To make ends meet, she started substitute teaching. “I thought it’d just be temporary,” she said. “But when I walked into GIVE Center East, something clicked. I knew—this is where I’m supposed to be.” Fast forward to now: Richardson, who’s been teaching biology at GIVE for four years, was just named Gwinnett County Public Schools’ 2027 Teacher of the Year. It’s a rare honor for a teacher at an alternative school, and Richardson doesn’t take it lightly. At GIVE, Richardson works with students who’ve been written off by others. “These kids have been told they’re failures, that one mistake defines them,” she said. “But I believe in second chances. I want them to see they’re worth more than their worst moment.” Richardson’s passion for her students shines through in everything she does, from creating hands-on biology lessons to building relationships that show her students they’re valued. STORY 5: Republican state House leaders unveil plan to abolish homeowner property taxes Georgia Republicans are making a bold promise: no more property taxes for homeowners by 2032. Sounds great, right? But the details? Well, they’re complicated. House Speaker Jon Burns unveiled the plan Wednesday, calling it “historic tax relief” aimed at easing the financial strain on homeowners. Rising home values, he said, have made the current system “unsustainable.” The idea is to gradually phase out property taxes on primary residences, but here’s the catch—local governments rely on that money. A lot of it. Property taxes fund schools, police, fire departments—you name it. So, what happens when that revenue disappears? Burns’ plan would let cities and counties make up the difference by raising sales taxes or adding fees for specific services. But sales taxes are unpredictable, especially during economic downturns, and some areas might struggle to generate enough revenue. And then there’s the political hurdle. To make this happen, lawmakers need a constitutional amendment, which requires two-thirds approval in both chambers and a public vote. Oh, and the Senate? They’re focused on slashing income taxes instead. For now, the House hasn’t released all the details, but one thing’s clear: this proposal is ambitious—and it’s going to spark a lot of debate. We’ll be right back. Break 3: GCPL Passport STORY 6: TenMed Wound Care opening Lawrenceville office TenMed Wound Care & Hyperbaric Medicine is bringing its expertise to Lawrenceville, opening a new clinic at 696 Grayson Highway. For patients in Gwinnett County dealing with stubborn wounds—diabetic foot ulcers, surgical wounds, or other complex injuries—this is big news. The Lawrenceville location joins TenMed’s existing offices in Atlanta and Johns Creek, expanding access to advanced treatments like Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. Dr. Joshua Behlmann, the clinic’s medical director, said he’s excited to serve the community. “Our goal is simple: to provide life-changing care for those who need it most.” From personalized wound care plans to cutting-edge therapies, the clinic is ready to help. For more info, visit tenmedhealth.com or call 470-508-0696. STORY 7: Test-run of outdoor classrooms in Georgia schools clears General Assembly Georgia students might soon trade desks for fresh air, thanks to a new outdoor learning pilot program. On Wednesday, the state Senate gave unanimous approval to a bill that would create outdoor classrooms at select K-8 schools. Next stop? Governor Kemp’s desk. State Sen. Bo Hatchett shared his own experience: “I had an outdoor classroom at North Habersham Middle, and it made a huge difference. Every kid should have that chance.” Sen. Sheikh Rahman added, “Kids are glued to screens. Getting them outside? It’s good for their bodies, their minds—everything.” The program will run for three years before lawmakers decide what’s next. We’ll have closing comments after this Break 4: SUGAR HILL ICE SKATING Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today’s Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

Activity and rhetoric over immigration action and policy highlighted the headlines on this edition of the Round-Up.

This is the closest it's been to "midnight" since its introduction in 1947. --An Iowa man was given the opportunity to pray for President Trump outside an Iowa restaurant. --Kirk Bangstad, the Wisconsin owner of Minoqua Brewing Company, offers free beer all day long for everyone the day President Donald Trump dies. --Ohio Democratic attorney general candidate Elliot Forhan is facing backlash for saying in a campaign video that he would "kill" President Trump by successfully prosecuting him for crimes and then winning a capital punishment sentence. --A Florida labor and delivery nurse was banned Wednesday from practicing in Florida after posting her online wish that White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt would suffer severe bodily harm when giving birth to her baby. --A health care worker appeared to encourage people to intentionally drug ICE agents in a series of recent videos posted online. --During the chaos and violence in the Minneapolis area, a protester bit off the finger of a federal officer. --Governor Tim Walz was at the gate of his mansion urging protesters to keep causing trouble and fighting ICE. Jim provided audio from the governor. --A self described Antifa member in Minneapolis called for armed men to get their boots on the ground to stop immigration officials who he calls mass murderers and fascist occupiers.

MDJ Script/ Top Stories for January 28th Publish Date:  January 28th Commercial: From the BG Ad Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Wednesday, January 28th and Happy Birthday to Jermaine Dye I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Local student Mathletes to compete in Cobb County Math Contest Support Cobb law enforcement and get a state tax credit Lawmakers push transparency in school board public comments All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  BREAK: INGLES 9 STORY 1: Local student Mathletes to compete in Cobb County Math Contest Cobb County’s middle school math whizzes are gearing up for the local MATHCOUNTS competition on Feb. 28 at Marietta High School. Organized by the Cobb County Chapter of the Georgia Society of Professional Engineers, the event will feature teams from Dickerson, Dodgen, and Hightower Trail middle schools. These students have been prepping since fall—hours of practice, problem-solving, and probably a few late-night algebra sessions. The competition includes both individual and team rounds, with topics like geometry, probability, and statistics. Oh, and there’s a fast-paced oral round too—no pressure, right? Winners will snag prizes and move on to the state finals on March 9 in Buford. MATHCOUNTS, a national program, aims to spark a love for math in middle schoolers—because let’s face it, this is the age where kids either embrace math or start running from it. With 50,000 students competing nationwide this year, it’s a big deal. For details, check out www.mathcounts.org. STORY 2: Support Cobb law enforcement and get a state tax credit Tax season is here, and if you live in Cobb County, there’s a way to support local law enforcement and get a state income tax credit. Thanks to the 2022 LESS Crime Act (short for Law Enforcement Strategic Support Act), Georgia taxpayers can donate to approved public safety foundations and get a dollar-for-dollar credit on their state taxes. Here’s the deal: individuals can donate up to $5,000, couples filing jointly can give $10,000, and corporations can contribute up to 75% of their state tax liability. Statewide, there’s a $75 million cap, and each foundation can accept up to $5 million annually. The process? Register with the Georgia Tax Center, wait for approval, and send your donation within 60 days. Funds go toward training, equipment, officer wellness, and community programs. In Cobb, you can donate to: Cobb Sheriff’s Foundation Acworth Police Community Foundation Cobb County Public Safety Foundation Kennesaw Public Safety Foundation Marietta Police Foundation For links and details, visit their websites. STORY 3: Lawmakers push transparency in school board public comments  Cobb County lawmakers are pushing for more transparency in school board meetings with House Bill 989, which would require public comments to be broadcast or recorded if the rest of the meeting is aired. Rep. David Wilkerson said it’s about consistency: “If you’re showing the meeting, show all of it. Don’t cut out the tough parts.” The bill comes after Cobb’s school board stopped broadcasting public comments last year, sparking backlash from parents and lawmakers. Critics called it censorship; the board cited liability concerns. Rep. Solomon Adesanya said public comments are crucial for oversight: “If you only hear one side, you control the narrative.” The bill has bipartisan support, with Rep. Jordan Ridley also signing on. “Transparency matters,” he said. “If you’re broadcasting, show the good, bad, and everything in between.” Meanwhile, Ridley floated the idea of an independent audit for Cobb schools, similar to one he championed in Cherokee County. Cobb school board Chair Randy Scamihorn defended the district, saying claims of a lack of transparency are “absolutely false.” Still, he invited lawmakers to review their processes, adding, “No organization is perfect.” We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info.  We’ll be right back. Break: INGLES 9 STORY 4: Cobb opens $24M joint police, sheriff firing range Cobb County just unveiled its shiny new $24 million firing range, and let’s just say—it’s a game-changer. Sheriff Craig Owens and Police Chief Dan Ferrell cut the ribbon Friday morning, joined by the Board of Commissioners, a crowd of officers, and deputies. The 65,000-square-foot facility, located next to the Public Safety Training Academy in Austell, replaces the old outdoor range that had been around for over 30 years. That one? It had a strict 8 p.m. curfew because of nearby neighborhoods. Now? Training can happen 24/7. The range features three separate areas, including a 100-yard precision range, and a high-tech 360-degree targeting system for realistic drills. Officers can train in low-light, no-light, and even less-lethal scenarios. Paid for with SPLOST funds, the range is a long-term investment in public safety—and a big win for Cobb County. STORY 5: Northwest Georgia voters to head to polls March 10 for federal and, now, state election Northwest Georgia voters are in for a political doubleheader on March 10. Not only will they pick a new state senator, but they’ll also decide if the former holder of that Senate seat, Colton Moore, should head to Congress. Here’s the backstory: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene resigned in January with a year left in her U.S. House term, triggering a special election for District 14. Moore, who represented Senate District 53 (Catoosa, Chattooga, Dade, Walker, and part of Floyd counties), stepped down mid-January to join the crowded race for Greene’s seat—22 candidates, to be exact. Qualifying for Moore’s old Senate seat runs Jan. 29 to Feb. 2. Voter registration closes Feb. 9, with early voting starting Feb. 16. If no one wins outright, expect a runoff on April 7. Buckle up, northwest Georgia—it’s going to be a busy ballot. Break: STORY 6: Chris Carr talks public safety in Cobb Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr didn’t hold back when he spoke to the Cobb County Republican Women’s Club on Friday. Public safety, he said, isn’t just about stopping crime—it’s about supporting law enforcement, tackling mental health, and improving education. And now, as a candidate for governor, he’s making his case. Carr highlighted his record: creating units to fight human trafficking, gangs, opioids, and organized retail crime. “Keeping people safe is the most basic job of government,” he said. “If families don’t feel safe, we’ve failed.” He shared staggering numbers—over 200 children rescued from trafficking, 115 gang members convicted—and warned about the fentanyl crisis, calling it a “war” fueled by Mexican cartels. His office recently seized 15 pounds of the drug, enough to kill millions. On education, he stressed the importance of literacy by third grade and slammed “woke progressivism” in schools. “Our kids aren’t social experiments,” he said. “Schools should teach reading, writing, and math—not radical ideology.” Mental health? Another priority. Carr called for more facilities statewide, saying jails shouldn’t double as treatment centers. He also floated limiting phones in high schools, blaming social media for worsening students’ mental health. When asked about gambling, Carr stood firm against casino betting, citing addiction concerns. On minors accessing pornography, he tied it to human trafficking and expressed fears about AI being used to exploit kids. Former Cobb GOP Chair Rose Wing praised Carr’s tough stance on drug cartels and said she believes he’d make a “great governor.” STORY 7: Woodstock native Bolt named assistant golf coach at KSU  Abigail Bolt, a former Woodstock High School star, is heading back to familiar turf—this time as the new assistant women’s golf coach at Kennesaw State. Owls head coach Ket Vanderpool, who worked with Bolt for three seasons at Georgia State, made the announcement Friday. Bolt, who played collegiate golf at Appalachian State from 2017-21, brings a mix of coaching chops and on-course expertise. At Georgia State, she helped lead the team to nine top-five finishes and four tournament wins. Before that? She honed her skills at Towne Lake Hills Golf Club, running junior clinics and managing tournaments. As a player, Bolt was a standout at Appalachian State, earning MVP honors her senior year and finishing with a 77.81 stroke average. Since graduating in 2021, she’s stayed active in the game, competing in amateur events and continuing to build her career in golf. We’ll have closing comments after this.
