16:28save by the bell days. Chloe Kardashian has revealed the adorable reason her daughter wants another sibling and a new thriller in the theaters this weekend is going to be the big winner. While Tom Cruise may be facing an uphill battle i'm going to fill you in on details in today's joe in the know entertainment report. What's watch where to go and what everyone's talking about. Here we go show in the know. Alright Joanne a philicin on the headlines. So Mario Lopez is definitely keeping it real when it comes to the save by the bell residual so Tiffany Amber Theson revealed that her residual checks from from that show which i think a lot of people assumed maybe were big. She said that it cost more to print the checks than they're actually. Oh no. Now Mario jumped on social media with a simple response real talk here. So it looks like he is confirming that the save by the bell cast even though that show is crazy popular not making a whole lot of money off of these days. Oh that's a shame. I feel like everyone on that show is aging really well by the way. They all look real good. You're right about that. Now meanwhile Chloe Kardashian is opening up about her

17:29daughter true. She says that her daughter has a very specific wish. She wants a baby sister. Now Chloe opened up because she was always like very open about her IVF journey but she joked and said that the potential baby girl is on ice and she goes she's not sure yet if it's going to be the reason why she has another kid but we'll see. I don't know. I feel like she probably could be persuaded there. Girl about all the sisters right now at the box office this week and I think all eyes are on the movie Verity. Have you seen the previews for this? Is that the top three one? No Verity is the Colleen Hoover book that has become a movie starring Anne Hathaway Dakota Johnson and Josh Harnett. Now it is projected to be the biggest movie of the weekend. Bringing in about $50 million now speaking on Tom Cruise about Tom Cruise on the flip side of that his new movie Digger is tracking for a much softer debut. It says that people are projecting it's only going to bring in about 10 to 20 million even though it looks really good to me too. Yeah I think people are just tired of hearing about like greedy billionaires basically probably that could that could probably be

18:34it so we'll see where it ends up next week but that's your entertainment report for this morning. I'm Joey now you're in the know. This is sunny mornings with Joanna and Sean. I'm sunny 106.5.

All right so we celebrated his birthday and you know I've been recently opening up more about my son who was nonverbal until March of this year. Yeah. Now my son Brock is now talking he's saying things he continues to surprise us every single day and about a month ago I shared that he did show

Happy birthday to you. Oh happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to your papa. Happy birthday to you. Oh yeah. Brock. Brock is my hero. Don't make me cry but I wanted to share that because last time I kind of opened up about it I had a few people reach out to me and talked to me about their struggles with their children who are also nonverbal. I'm always an open door on this. You can find me on Instagram at J. Ovegas radio if you are also a mother or parent who has a child who's nonverbal. I'm

20:41more than willing to share what I think has really worked for my son but that was a moment. I'll tell you last year my dad's birthday. If someone were to like oh good broxing happy birthday it would have said oh no he can't and the fact that a year later he can it's pretty cool.
