Morning Show Insider: 💤 Family Naps are the BEST

Evrod Cassimy (WDIV)

Evrod Cassimy: After an amazing Father’s Day yesterday we are back on the air! Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there. My day was spent just the way I liked it: Breakfast with my family (Cinnabuns and coffee—OMG SO GOOD), church, lunch at Carrabbas (Fettuccine alfredo and minestrone soup even better), a family nap and a call to my dad who lives out of state. Does it get any better than that? Father’s Day I know can be especially hard for those who have lost their dad, so it’s always important to recognize those fathers watching over us from heaven along with the single mothers playing the role of mother and father. I hope you day was filled with love.

On Local 4 News Today this morning we took a look back at the OJ Simpson low speed chase.

It happened 25 years ago! I was in 4th grade and don’t remember the chase all that much but I definitely remember the verdict in 1995 and how it impacted our country in terms of race relations. The chase and subsequent verdict are moments in history we will never forget. Plus - Did you hear OJ is now on Twitter??

O.J. Simpson says he'll use Twitter account to set record straight
