Growing up, I was a huge DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince fan and when things went sideways at The Oscars involving Will Smith and Chris Rock, it got my attention.  There's a lot to unpack and I do a deep dive into the whole situation this week.  I also discuss the fallout that involves a poor guy named 'Regular' Will Smith who was mistaken for the celebrity.  In other news, a woman sues Totino's because their pizza rolls are not pizza and it's misleading, the cost of Easter candy is skyrocketing, shrink-flation and an amazing dog who works for Orlando's Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children.

On this week's episode of Scatter Shooting, we jump into several different topics:  A guy named John dresses up as Batman to help Ukrainian children, BBQ restaurants telling customers NOT to order their brisket, a woman who calls 911 because a chicken place messed up on her order, Tom Cruise as Iron Man, what parents are concerned about when it comes to their kids screen time, what the kind of coffee you drink says about your personality and more.  

I went back and listened to last weeks podcast again and wasn't completely happy with it.  Mostly the content.  So this week I've added some sports and current events and feel like this is overall a better product.  This week I discuss a woman who's eye almost popped out of her head while she was going through delivery, why Tom Brady unretired, men with stuffed animals, diners closing due to rude customers, good Samaritans giving the kids from the Ukrainian teddy bears, new music from Prince... er I mean "Camille" and more.  

Scatter Shooting with me is a weekly podcast where I talk about a variety of different stories that interested me this week. Some of them are local to the Central Mississippi area and others are more national. But if I find it funny, I hope you do too.
