S5.E156: Ice Cream Social, Cookie Dough, Car Wash, People Replacement, French Law, Slate Truck, Golf Wins, Tennis States

Ding-a-ling! Step right up, Woodland! It’s Friday, May 29th, and I’ve got the sweetest scoop of the year for you. Forget my truck for a minute because the Ice Cream Social is hitting the courtyard during a special 30-minute advisory today. We’ve got the basics, but the big secret flavor is Cookie Dough! You can pile on whipped cream, sprinkles, or crushed Oreos, but keep your hands back—Student Government is doing the scooping. This tradition started way back in 2009. You'd better hope the second floor gets released first so you can snag that cookie dough before it’s gone! While you're chilling, here’s the news: France overturned a 178-year-old property law, and Brazil's deforestation is finally slowing down. If you’re saving your nickels, Jeff Bezos is backing a $20,000 "Transformer" EV that’s as bare-bones as a plain wafer. In sports, golf beat Seymour, and tennis faces the Killingly Trailblazers today. Plus, the Spurs and Thunder are headed to Game 7! Now get out there and enjoy the weather—it’s a perfect day for a cold treat!

S5.E155: Seniors Return, Halo Nomination History, Moon Bases, Duck Duck Go, Harding Presidents, Secret Flavor, Baseball and Softball to States

(Breathless, clutching an imaginary trophy) Oh, wow! I’d like to thank the Academy—and the 7:00 a.m. crew at Good Morning Woodland! This May 28th "B-day" is truly special because our seniors have finally returned to the hill from their "fortnight" away. We aren't just a school; we are a record-breaking family celebrating 17 Halo Award nominations for our drama department, proving we have the "Meryl Streeps "of high school theater! From discussing NASA's three moon bases and the Chicago Bears' potential move, to the "Presidents" mascot of Warren G. Harding High, we bring the world to the courtyard. (music starts to fade in) I would be remiss if I didn't note how the baseball and softball teams rallied in their valiant, tight-scoring NVL tournament efforts. I must thank the WRSG and the Big Dipper for the upcoming ice cream social—the secret flavor reveal tomorrow is the cliffhanger of the season! (microphone begins to recede into the floor) To my partners Tomlin, Decker, and Amato—we did it! (speech speeds up trying to get the last few words in) Everyone, please support the Class of 2027 car wash, charge your Chromebooks, and watch out for Saturday's rain. (Music swells) Thank you, Woodland! (Audience erupts in thunderous applause) We’re knocking down the door!

S5.E154: Newport Day, Mando and Grogu,, Generation Beta, BP Stock, Electric Ferrari, Baseball in Finals, MOS Liv McDonald

Buckle up, Hawks! Today is May 27th, and we are kicking off the Senior Trip as the class heads to Newport, Rhode Island! Despite a hazy start, we’re expecting a glorious 85-degree day for beach trips and food tours. Keep an eye out for chaperones like Miss Bernier and Dr. Mulligan keeping the seniors in line! Back at the "Hill," don’t miss the car wash this weekend at Gabes Auto or the Fine Arts fundraiser at Senor Ponchos on June 2nd. In global news, Ferrari is unveiling its first electric vehicle, the Luche, while BP just ousted its chairman. Our athletes are on fire, too; baseball shut out Ansonia 3-0, and our tennis stars are heading to the NVLs. And Olivia McDonald was named NVL Most Outstanding Senior! Whether you’re discussing Star Wars fight scenes or the rise of Generation Beta, remember that "Woodland time" always runs a few minutes fast. Have a dandy day in Newport!

S5.E153: Wonderful Weather, Senior Week, Ants on Paper, Mona Lisa’s New Digs, Knicks Into Finals, Baseball and Softball NVL Semis,

Good morning, Woodland! We're tracking a high-pressure system of excitement today, May 26th! Expect clear skies for those seniors heading to Newport tomorrow, where the mercury is rising to a blistering 87 degrees—perfect conditions for harbor cruises and clam chowder. In the studio, the "Poll of the Week" is swirling around time travel: would you head to the past or the future? Meanwhile, over at the news desk, Pope Leo XIV is raining down regulations on military AI, and shipping containers are chilling on a massive 500-meter Antarctic iceberg. Even the Mona Lisa is seeking shelter in a new 33,000-square-foot underground suite at the Louvre by 2031. Now, let’s check the sports radar where the local action is heating up! Woodland baseball and softball move into the semifinals after big weekend wins. We hit a bit of a cold front on mascot trivia—Shepaug are the Spartans, not the Rams. In the big leagues, the New York Knicks have swept the Cavs, ending a 27-year drought to reach the NBA championship. Over on the mound, the Houston Astros pitched a no-hitter. Keep those Chromebooks charged and stay sunny, Woodland!

S5.E152: Prom Day, Prom Songs, Roaring 20s, Pizza Hut Anew, Tesla Truck Boat, AI and the Bees, Celtic Vibes, Golf Over Naugy, Knicks Get Closer

Yo, Woodland! DJ Spinning here, and we are coming to you live from the gym floor! It’s Friday, Friday, Friday, and prom fever is hitting the hallways. We’re talking “Roaring 20s” themes and searching for that perfect slow dance song—will it be Boyz II Men, some Green Day, or maybe even Billy Joel? Seniors, get those library books back before you hit the buffet! In our “Throwback” news, Pizza Hut is going full 90s with red cups, vinyl benches, and Pac-Man—who’s ready for a personal pan pizza? Meanwhile, some guy tried to turn a Cybertruck into a boat in Texas (spoiler: it didn't float), AI is saving the bees, and some 2,000-year-old Celtic vibes were just dug up in Europe! On the sports deck, Woodland Golf just crushed Naugatuck—shoutout to Jacob Beyer for that +5 round! We’ve got track, softball, and baseball hitting the field tomorrow, plus our Knicks are on a legendary playoff run! Now, keep those corsages straight and the vibes high. Have a night to remember, Woodland!
