  you're doing with your life? Great news! That's tomorrow's problem.

• 0:42
  Tomorrow, because today has been a lot, and tomorrow you will definitely be a different person.
• 0:48
  Tomorrow is not responsible for missed deadlines, expired groceries,
• 0:51
  or the discovery that tomorrow is actually today.
• 0:54
  Katie, is this for you? Because honestly, you don't need this.
• 0:58
  Trump on the new press secretary getting fired after five days.
• 1:02
  Insert theme song here. This is the Daily Starcast. I give you the news and maybe a laugh.
• 1:07
  I'm Lindsay Varnick and today is October 19th, 2026. Guys, I hate how cold it's
• 1:12
  getting. Like, it's so cold and it's only like 60 degrees. I like forgot about winter.
• 1:18
  I was like so happy in summer and you like forget.
• 1:22
  It's so funny. Like when you're in winter, you forget how nice summer is,
• 1:26
  and when you're in summer, you forget how bad winter is.
• 1:30
  And then it, like, hits you one day, and you're like, oh my god,
• 1:33
  I forgot this season existed.
• 1:36
  Or maybe that's just me. I don't know.
• 1:38
  So in real news, more than 30 years after the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson
• 1:43
  and Ron Goldman, the OJ Simpson case is back in the news because there's still some unopened folders.
• 1:51
  Okay, so So there were these previously sealed federal records about Joseph
• 1:55
  Joey Ippolito, who was in prison for drug trafficking, and he was connected
• 2:00
  to the mob, and he knew OJ through their mutual friend.
• 2:04
  And then Ippolito later became a federal informant and had given police information
• 2:09
  about the missing murder weapon, which, as we all know, was never recovered.
• 2:14
  But this is where things get a little weird. So Ippolito's brother,
• 2:18
  Sam, one time told the Times that on the night of the murders in 1994,
• 2:23
  Joey came home with blood on his hands and a really heavy bag.
• 2:27
  And sam was like my brother asked me to get rid of it and then so he did and
• 2:32
  he threw that bag into a dumpster.
• 2:35
  But now before we all start treating this like a new episode of making a murder
• 2:39
  there are some major caveats with this,
• 2:42
  so sam later recanted a part of his account when the times said that they weren't
• 2:47
  going to pay him for his interview so he was like no just kidding that didn't
• 2:51
  happen, which is like super sketch.
• 2:54
  And also it does not prove that the bag contained the murder weapon or that
• 2:58
  Ippolito helped commit the murders.
• 3:00
  He just happened to come home that night with blood on his hands and a heavy
• 3:05
  bag and he knows OJ, you know, all the same.
• 3:09
  So obviously nothing is solved, but this is a new investigation about a case
• 3:15
  that has fascinated us all for decades on end and what sucks now is that oj,
• 3:21
  died as we know so like we're never gonna be able to get the truth out of him
• 3:26
  for real for real and the murder weapon is still missing i mean who knows where
• 3:31
  that you know who knows where that is by now.
• 3:35
  So 30 years later, this case somehow contains more loose ends than any really old sweater.
• 3:41
  And that's not the best joke, and I'm sorry.
• 3:44
  Well, we have our first World Series team, and it's the Milwaukee Brewers.
• 3:50
  And they're heading to the World Series for the first time since 1982.
• 3:56
  So Milwaukee beat the LA Dodgers in four games.
• 4:00
  Like if the dodgers won they would have possibly won three consecutive world
• 4:04
  series titles in a row so i think it's for the best that somebody else got a chance to win,
• 4:12
  but even in game four the dodgers were winning four to zero including a three-run
• 4:17
  home run so everyone was like obviously the dodgers are going to win but then
• 4:21
  milwaukee came back and won six to four,
• 4:25
  so the milwaukee team finished the regular season with 103 wins like that's
• 4:31
  a lot of wins so they didn't just like get lucky they actually like really worked
• 4:35
  hard at this and they were a really good team,
• 4:39
  and the dodgers team has some of baseball's biggest stars so that's like pretty cool of them right.
• 4:45
  So now the Brewers are just one win away from their first World Series title in franchise history.
• 4:51
  The World Series starts this Friday, October 23rd.
• 4:56
  Milwaukee will either play the Cleveland Guardians or the Tampa Bay Rays.
• 5:00
  So those two teams literally have to battle it out first.
• 5:03
  I know it's not the most exciting of teams, but if you live in any of those cities, it is.
• 5:09
  Baseball, the world's most unexciting sport, and this year the most unexciting World Series.
• 5:15
  Okay this is a bit of a random one so there's this guy his name is sean oliver
• 5:19
  and he was the republican nominee for lieutenant governor of massachusetts,
• 5:24
  and now he's no longer the republican nominee for lieutenant governor of massachusetts
• 5:29
  because he got arrested this weekend after,
• 5:33
  overturning his car like he crashed his car into five part cars like not one
• 5:41
  not two not three parked cars, five parked cars he hit.
• 5:46
  So then he got arrested, obviously, and got a DUI along with a bunch of other
• 5:51
  driving-related offenses.
• 5:53
  I think it's safe to say this was not the kind of campaign event his team had
• 5:57
  planned for the weekend.
• 5:58
  This is a reminder that political campaigns can take months or years to build
• 6:03
  and just one weekend to dismantle.
• 6:06
  At least, I don't feel like the worst driver anymore.
• 6:09
  In Lindsay life, I had three different friends cancel plans on me this weekend,
• 6:15
  like for all different reasons. Crazy, right?
• 6:19
  I had a higher cancellation rate than a budget airline.
• 6:23
  For thing of the week this week, I am doing the two recent tragedies that have
• 6:28
  happened in our country.
• 6:29
  Along with the million and five other things that are currently on my mind,
• 6:34
  this one is definitely on my mind too.
• 6:37
  So as we all know, on Thursday, a 16-year-old former student opened fire at
• 6:42
  Silver Rail Elementary school in Bend, Oregon, killing three kids,
• 6:46
  ages 5, 8, and 11, and their teacher, 25-year-old Megan Lambert.
• 6:52
  The shooter was Griffin J. John II. He went to the school as a special needs student.
• 6:58
  So that day, he went up to the school carrying a shotgun. He shot at a pickup
• 7:03
  truck after the driver said something to him and then climbed over the fence
• 7:07
  to the school and shot through the glass panels of the school's locked entrance doors.
• 7:12
  And then he entered a mixed-age special education classroom that was near the
• 7:16
  entrance and just opened fire.
• 7:19
  He shot as many as 15 rounds.
• 7:22
  All of the people killed and hurt in the attack were in that classroom.
• 7:26
  The three children who died were boys. A seven-year-old student and a 54-year-old
• 7:31
  special education teacher, Becky Drury, was also critically injured and hospitalized.
• 7:37
  One of the teachers in the classroom threw her cell phone at the shooter when
• 7:41
  he started, and then she tackled him and tried to wrestle the gun away from him.
• 7:45
  Like, that is so brave beyond words. I can't even imagine.
• 7:50
  And then also, while this is happening at the same time, a father who had two
• 7:55
  kids at the school happened to be there, and he did follow the shooter inside.
• 8:01
  So this father was legally carrying a handgun, and then when he went into the
• 8:05
  classroom and saw what was going on, he shot and killed the teenager.
• 8:09
  So because of this teacher who tackled the shooter and this parent who killed
• 8:15
  the shooter, they were able to prevent further loss of life.
• 8:19
  Megan Lambert was a first-year teacher, and she literally called this job her dream job.
• 8:26
  She grew up in Bend, and she spent years substituting at Silver Rail,
• 8:30
  and she was also a volunteer volleyball coach there.
• 8:33
  She loved the kids there so much, especially those with special needs.
• 8:37
  She even wouldn't even take her coaching pay so that children whose families
• 8:42
  couldn't afford to participate could still play.
• 8:45
  And then on Saturday, another tragedy happened in Wichita, Kansas.
• 8:50
  A pickup truck drove onto a soccer field at a sports complex during a youth
• 8:54
  soccer game, killing six-year-old Cole Adrian and 35-year-old Nicholas Schaefer.
• 9:00
  They were both from McPherson, Kansas, and 10 other people were hurt.
• 9:05
  The driver is a 34-year-old woman, and she was taken into custody after the crash.
• 9:11
  But yesterday, police released her after consulting with prosecutors.
• 9:15
  They're still waiting for toxicology results and a mechanical inspection of
• 9:19
  the truck to help determine what happened.
• 9:21
  As of yesterday, no charges have been filed, and police haven't established
• 9:26
  yet if the crash was intentional or not.
• 9:28
  In both of these cases, people were doing things that they're doing every day,
• 9:32
  a part of a regular childhood.
• 9:34
  They're going to school they're playing a sport they're just hanging out with their family,
• 9:38
  and in both of these stories families lives changed in an instant,
• 9:43
  and you know we can't protect ourselves or anyone else from these everyday things
• 9:49
  where something horrible can happen you know literally anywhere at any time,
• 9:54
  so I think right now that it's just remembering for a second how much we take
• 9:58
  for granted about these everyday things that we do and we do them without fear.
• 10:02
  And of course, we should always still be able to do them without fear.
• 10:06
  But, you know, just taking for granted what we have. And, you know,
• 10:10
  we never know what could happen tomorrow.
• 10:13
  And that is quite a way to start off your Monday.
• 10:16
  Cooking tip of the day. If your pasta water tastes like the ocean,
• 10:20
  you've added too much salt.
