00:00 Nightly greetings.
00:01 One and all, William Thio here, homegrown and happy to be bringing you the latest major
00:05 events unfolding across the planet and the newsmakers behind them within the 24-hour
00:10 news cycle.
00:12 Strangely enough, while the world celebrated both the Lunar or Chinese New Year's Day
00:17 over the weekend, in Brazil's Rio de Janeiro and in New Orleans, Louisiana, it was the
00:22 last few days of partying, parades, picking out and pleasuring the senses that end on
00:28 Fat Tuesday, literally Mardi Gras, before the start of a 40-day Lenten season of fasting,
00:34 penance and introspection.
00:36 In Rio de Janeiro, party people with painted faces and bodies and in garish themes of gold
00:43 and glitter atop gilded and decker-laden floats filled the streets as they swayed to the cool
00:48 and infectious beat of Brazil's musical gift to the world, samba and bossa nova.
00:54 The revelry and party fever climaxes on the last weekend and the final days of Carnival,
01:00 which is today and tomorrow, Fat Tuesday.
01:04 A hundred-fifteen million, or roughly the entire population of the Philippines, watched
01:09 last year's Super Bowl to see the Kansas City Chief edge out the Philadelphia Eagles in
01:15 a high-scoring thriller.
01:17 This year's Super Bowl in Sin City that ended in a first-and-goal five-yard touchdown passed
01:23 by KC Chief quarterback Pat Mahomes also had the same 110 to 120 million viewership, many
01:31 of whom watched the commercials and halftime show more than the game itself.
01:36 Among the top commercials this year was a reprise of a donut commercial whose financial
01:41 fortunes changed beginning the day after the Super Bowl, thanks to a Ben Affleck conceptualized
01:46 ad and performance.
01:48 This year, Ben Affleck's Super Bowl has his Beantown buddies Matt Damon and GOAT quarterback
01:54 Tom Brady crashing a J-Lo studio recording to showcase their boy band impression.
02:01 And at this moment, we turn to a colleague in our Pine City studios for the latest development
02:06 in the Cordilleras.
