I don't care if it's on the Alt pop rock Girls only with two band members list if you go 22 weeks in a row it's something Do we think this song has like a lasting Like going forward the will these be played on all these stations probably you think this song like sing along

Is it a world cup in about 40 years? Yeah, it's a stand the test of time. It's an easy listen I've heard 25 songs. I think in the last year that I like more Yeah, but it's catchy and it's an airworm and you can't get it out you can't hate on this song you can't hate on her There's nothing wrong with it not a bad song not at all Now I wouldn't pay to go see her in concert, but a hell of a lot of people did recently and will again Um the trick is but it's not a trick. It's like what's the trick? I can have anything bigger This is this will be the biggest part of your career and it happened early in that career Hmm probably probably It's interesting where did that go There it is Uh, I would pay some money to see Kenny Chesney though He announced the new tour and his openers are gonna be Eric Church and a lady you know as Cheryl Crowe Massive stadium run called the original vibe room tour

So that's pretty good show Eric Church Cheryl Crowe and Kenny Chesney all in the same bill That's a show that I mean I have zero interest in in Kenny Chesney music But I would want to go to just like the part of the crowd and throw things all over the place here You've seen the photos of what those parking lots are like when the concert says nisho yes Opens in Tampa on April 24th. They're gonna hit St. Louis. That's as close as they're gonna get I think Well, Nashville's a little closer I guess so St. Louis on May 15th Nashville on July 3rd And Kansas City on July 24th They're playing an Ames. I would June 5th. I will not be there, but that's a good show. I saw Cheryl Crowe names one time I'll never forget it. I do like Cheryl Crowe. I don't know if I've ever heard tell the story in the year I don't know it she was at CY Steven's auditorium And I was probably a junior in college or senior and she said and she had a skirt on a pretty short skirt And she said don't try looking up my skirt. I'm not one of those nasty rock em roll chicks. I were underwear and I was like wow

Could I love you more and then you were like prove it I was weighing the back I was quite poor. I was lucky to be able to get a seat in the house Tom Cruise cares so much about the art of filmmaking He has made a six hour instructional video about screen acting to mentor younger actors Like Glenn Powell this story says he says it's very basic It was something to have people understand just to have a different concept of lens and what the lens is and what the frame is Just the same way as an actor on stage or in the development of cinema where it started and what frame means And how to understand that frame there's just different layers of storytelling Anyway, I don't know if it's accessible to us But he apparently made this instructional video. Yeah, I think there's a company that that pays Experts and celebrities to teach you how to do what they do. We're try to. He's called master class master class Yeah, Tom Cruise is this a free master class? I want to learn how to be a stuntman like him

Burkings in the news They have a A new offering and it's a nugget, but it's a nugget purse Also known as a micro bag It looks like you put food in no, it looks like a chicken nugget, but it's not A chicken nugget.

That's what she says He says no, but I've always been wanting and she asked is he she's ever come back and rewatched his movies and she said He said no, but I've always been wanting to watch all the movies I did from the latest one all the way down or the other way the earliest ones Just go through them all. It's easier said than done And she said basically you could have your own film festival with all your films and he said There's no downside to doing that. I think there's a newton near a movie that's on Netflix Here's an idea the whisper man He said he wants to go watch and then like figure out the hole that he's missing that he hasn't done in his career And I'm like we don't need more fucker movies.

He's literally done everything I think in movies He like you're on your Ariana Grande. That's your deal. I think Ben Stiller is underrated and he doesn't do a ton of stuff anymore So I'll be in on that Well, he's too busy directing sephans True, that's a terrific show and I think he did like a New York Knicks doc too. Yeah, with an I think Just with his phone. Yeah, something like that All right kisses in the news The band 50th anniversary of their 76 album rock and roll over with an expansive box set due November 6th the collection includes 130 total tracks including 100 previously unreleased recordings and mixes The original producer contributed a brand new 2026 remix alongside the remastered 76 original the set includes rare demos outtakes live recordings from their first Japanese tour as well A hardback book with over a hundred pages featuring photos liner notes and new interviews also a part of this I don't have a price on it, but it's quite uh Overwhelming, but if you're a kiss band it might be something good to have

It's what and I don't dislike kiss, but that's one of the 70s bands that I've never really gone back and listened to All the albums which I've done with You know like Van Halen and And uh, you know, well, they haven't started in the 70s. Yeah, absolutely It's and it's just I never felt that need to go back and do that with kiss acdc, you know like I did that with acdc Um What was the first year of van halen? I think van halen might have dived you to 77 72 it says wow 72 I know I do So that sounds ambitious, right? There's a lot of a lot of kiss for one person. Yeah Uh, nothing compared to this one Bob Dylan has announced the massive 39 disc box set Nothing new right from 1976 rolling thunder review It documents the 76 leg of his rolling thunder review tour titled the rolling thunder review the 1976 live recordings the collection and Arise november 9th and contains 381 tracks with 371 of them never officially released

The tour feature jumbias and others A key driver behind the release was a european copyright law requiring recordings be released within 50 years or inter public domain How about that sense that is wild That's smart though. I mean don't let it in public. Yeah, that's right. This is so how long do we have to go until all the princess songs are released All of them let him be Tom Holland is a box office juggernaut. This is not news probably you guys. He's in the Odyssey in the spider man movie Uh, he's breaking a record of his own. He's become the highest grossing actor at the box office He's beating out his fellow marvel stars for a title that More than a few people saw in his future. He's officially the highest grossing actor of all time passing Zoe Saldana Or Seldaña prefer Previously held the honor. It's estimated that he's now worth 15.5 billion dollars. I'm guessing he doesn't have most of that This comes on a be the be

Comes on the tail of not only is most recent spider man, but also obviously the Odyssey and the Marvel movies so Anyway, well, it's like this is a such a misleading number and it was misleading was Zoe Saldana too because she was She's not the star of like any of those movies. Yeah, when you're in these bet all she's just in huge franchises What do you call those things no disrespect supporting roles now franchise Um, a group of people that film together. Oh, that's a Actors no, it's ensemble ensemble. Thank you. Go. Yes Uh, it's a huge cast with like lots of other bigger stars And it's a big movie anyone's watching anyway. They're not coming. I wouldn't even say that for Tom Holland outside of like the spider man movies No one's showing up to those four Tom Holland disagree. But I don't know You know, Hollywood and generic music. Do you have that somewhere? Do we have that? It doesn't matter. We'll just do a drive.

Because the next concert for Sheeran is supposed to be at Gillette Stadium Craft says you Maclamore can't perform and so Sheeran drops Maclamore from his tour the next thing you know all the opening acts Leave Sheeran's tour and his backing band So he's got nobody with him now.

That's a lot Which is a lot and we're trying to actually distribute more by 2030 our goal is for it to be 50 four thousand pounds. It's a lot. It's a lot of four million pounds. Yes, that's many pounds So how do you get things through the year when it's not restaurant week? How how are donations made? Yeah, there's a couple different ways to get involved So um the easiest way is to do like a food or fun drive and that's basically where you sign up on our website Um, and then you can encourage your friends and family to donate so money to the Arkansas food bank And the great thing about donating is that one dollar can create five mils Okay, um, and so even though you might not feel like you're making a huge impact every dollar that's donated helps create like a couple Mill's for families That's been the trick right for years you guys are able to turn a dollar a little bit further than we can

So we can go on by some perishable items, but it's gonna go a lot further with y'all's Yeah, buying ability right we want your money, but we'll take your cans to There you go. I like now. That's a t-shirt if there ever was one. Hey, do you find that the the social safety net is shrinking It's being forced to shrink Um, that makes organizations like the food bank just that much more important you guys are probably busier than you've been for a long time Absolutely, so we first started distributing 40 million pounds of food during the COVID-19 pandemic actually And there's just hasn't ever been a decrease in need and in fact we see an increase in need With inflation and the rising cost of living So that's why we're pushing harder than ever to work with our partners and distribute even more food Mean donations go along with this not just food donations, you know the restaurant week is obviously part of it But I mean large donations to of money like you're talking about that's such an important aspect of what how people can help maybe Yeah, yeah absolutely if you own a business if you go to a affluent church

If you have rich friends and you have a group where you want to put money together We want to be your friends. We want to work with anybody who wants to join us in the fight against hunger We know that uh Our canzans maybe don't have a lot of disposable income right now So if you would rather volunteer your time that's still really important to us Volunteers actually help us save a lot of money They worked more than 50,000 hours last year and saved us 1.5 million dollars in labor cost So if you want to volunteer will take volunteers we want your money.

He's busy. Yeah, he's got a team to worry about. I'm so lutely hit is you're right What the hell bro? What the hell's going on here? What the hell's it matter with you I'll be honest. I have seen a geyser before at Yellowstone National Park It never occurred to me to throw something into it. I'm not a good idea As long as you don't put yourself in that I think you're okay yellowstone national park staff Retrieved nearly 280 hats from the hydrothermal areas this season including a FIFA 2026 World Cup cap and a baseball cap labeled cowboy hat In total more than 25,000 Items were recovered from the park's geysers in 2026.

dental retainers fake fingernails golf teas hotel keys toys a copy of the vampire diaries and a loan unocard Would you know card? I don't know Red seven red seven draw two Oh Can I give you guys a little advice? I'm not big on advice, but I want to give you guys some advice because you're my friends If you're going to murder people like a bunch of them Do it in Australia And Australia court ruled Tuesday that one of three serial killers convicted over the murders of 11 people in one of the country's most notorious criminal cases can be released from prison Rejecting a state government's bid to block his parole the victims were killed over seven years How ambitious and most of their bodies were found in 1999 in barrels of acid in snow town a small town north of the south Australia state capital Adelaide The discovery led the crimes to become known as the bodies and barrels murder murders bodies and barrels murders

I don't know who came up with that name very very creative. I mean am I right you don't need Vince Gilligan to write that up to you And They're letting this person out. Yeah, that's right. What's your problem? But you gonna be tough on crime? You only killed 11 people over seven years I respect it and really had a plan on what it was he was doing. That's a kind of stick to it in a some looking for my life I usually the kind of criminal I would think might stay in prison. Phil, let me introduce you James Velacicus sounds like a big pickle man. Yeah, the pickle baron He's 46 years old. He was 18 when the crimes began he played a guilty to four murders including those of a half brother and a stepbrother You know if you're not all the way in you're all the way out You know what I mean? He became a star witness for the prosecution was sentenced to life with minimum term of 26 years Grand Apparel in December but the state government succeeded in overturning that parole board decision There's a lot more to the story but the bottom line is the guy who was involved or at least partially involved in 11 killings is out and about So maybe avoid that area of Australia if you're going over

This one my favorite stories a guy with no drivers license received a suspended prison sentence after drunken driving That's not the story He drove 150 miles That's not the story it was at night That's not the story He's blind That's the story Obviously had some meta glasses on Anthony whole 50 took his partner's car without permission You think and headed north on the m6 navigating by following an hgv's lights whatever that is Please stop them 145 in the morning after spotting the car swarming between lanes He failed as breathless or entailed officers he'd gone blind two years prior and wanted to escape his home relationship And finances mission accomplished now you get to go to prison 36 weeks is all he got Luckily nobody died 100 plus miles. It's amazing. I don't think I could drive 100 miles drunk little lone blind He followed just the hgv lights. I guess which I think are the lights that are on the commercial truckers

So he's just basically following a glow. Yeah, because you can't see the truck correct amazing. Yeah, you know The truck is like dude go around. What do you do it? It's guys been following me for hours. Let's be blind It's like how fast am I going? I can't know. I can't see this pedometer. I'm just following the lights bro A woman was taken into custody after allegedly undressing completely In front of fellow passers on American Airlines flights 17 79 Traveling from Baltimore to Miami on Friday aviation site air live report of the passenger behave in an indecent manner Well, I guess it depends what she looked like Uh, the flight was not diverted And officers were waiting at the gate to duct tape there.
