The most American thing there is, more so than apple pie or student loan debt, is people overestimating their ability to do things. Every now and then, something on Twitter gets ratio’d to hell and back because they say they can score a point in an NBA game or something, and it all stems from a specific place: For whatever reason, it is very hard for regular folks to admit they are not as big/fast/strong/coordinated/etc. as they would like to be.
All of this is a primer before we dive into a new poll by YouGovAmerica. The question they were posed was “Which of the following animals, if any, do you think you could beat in a fight if you were unarmed?” Here were the results:
What animals do Americans think they could beat in a fight? It doesn’t look good for the human race…
Listen, I’ll admit that “beat in a fight” is a pretty broad scope. It does not consider how the animal reacts to being in a fight, nor does it necessarily mean one lives while the other dies or anything like that. The question has room for interpretation and I assume some folks got creative in how they answered it, although “you were unarmed” should have been a major, major tell to those who responded to this poll that you were going to be put in a situation where you would get thrashed in a fight.
Having said that, come on, now. Who are the eight percent of Americans who believe they could beat up a dang elephant or a dang gorilla OR A DANG LION? They are all big and strong and more powerful than humans, and especially in the case of lions, have a hunter’s instinct that they have to tap into to survive, whereas we get hungry and eat some Fritos or an apple we got at the store or something. Any person who believes they could defeat any of these animals in a fight should put their money where their mouths are. Again, perhaps you are banking on elephants being gentle creatures or something, but when it comes time to scrap, you’re toast. Everyone should know this.
Of course, more things on here are absurd, like only 17 percent of people thinking could beat up a chimp (chimps are MEAN) or any people going “yeah man I could take a bear, no problem,” let alone six percent of them. And who in heaven’s name thinks they can take out a kangaroo? Kangaroos are jacked and have big claws and if they kick you every single thing in your torso is going kaboom. Every adult should have to take grade school science classes once every few years, this is ridiculous.
Fans have grown accustomed to independent Chicago rapper Noname addressing political issues as they arise (even if her words provoke this kind of reaction) and the recent spotlight on the conflict between Israel and Palestine — and celebrity commentary on the matter — has sparked her to weigh in once more. Her stance is that what is happening right now is genocide, and denouncing attacks on Palestinians is what’s right. “It’s really not that hard to stand for what’s right,” she wrote. “Denouncing genocide is basic common sense.”
In her mind, the way that some of our most public-facing figures are also the ones contributing the most taxes, and usually stay quiet on political issues, is all part of the problem. She’s spoken out on the issues with idolizing celebrities as changemakers before, and doubles down on those thoughts here. “If you don’t understand settler colonialism, annexation and ethnic cleansing, fine,” she continued. “But understand you are helping the U.S fund it with your taxes. We give billions to israel so they can continue to murder. And murder. And murder. Celebs pay the most in taxes and the most quiet.”
Later, she also implicated the Democratic party for their inability to take strong action on issues like this one. “Please move beyond celebrities and the Democratic party,” she wrote. “Both have this country in shackles.”
it’s really not that hard to stand for what’s right. denouncing genocide is basic common sense
if you don’t understand settler colonialism, annexation and ethnic cleansing, fine. but understand you are helping the u.s fund it with your taxes. we give billions to israel so they can continue to murder. and murder. and murder. celebs pay the most in taxes and the most quiet
Noname also shared plenty of other information on the conflict by retweeting others into her feed, check out her feed her for more right here. And give a follow while you’re at it, few people in the music industry are speaking with this kind of clarity and conviction.
But gin neophytes may not realize that this bright spirit has a dark side. Over the past decade, the classic practice of barrel-aging gin has returned in full force.
Tracing its history back to the 18th century, barrel-aging gin is nothing new. In fact, gin was aged in oak casks all way up until the middle part of the 20th century, when the practice fell out of fashion. The technique started as a way to ship gin. Instead of bottling the gin and risk the bottles breaking in transit, distilleries would add their spirits to barrels for the commute. Since sea voyages took a while, the gin would sit in barrels for months at a time.
The effect was noteworthy. When most of us imagine gin, it’s the un-aged spirit flavored with juniper, coriander, citrus peels, and various other herbs and botanicals. It’s floral and crisp in nature. But when gin is aged, its flavors evolve to resemble more of a botanical whiskey.
With its avowed love for old-timey shit, timeworn techniques, and nautical lore, it’s no major surprise that the modern spirits world has resurfaced this practice. Suddenly, it seems like every few months a new herbal, botanical, subtly oaky, and caramel-flavored wood-matured gin hits the market. So we figured it was well past time we run through some of our favorites.
Check our picks for the best barrel-aged gins below and click the prices to buy a bottle for yourself!
This award-winning gin was created to bridge the gap between whiskey and gin drinkers. It starts with the same recipe as the brand’s well-known Dry Gin. The botanical flavors are enhanced by aging in barrels that previously held Koval whiskey. The result is a truly multi-dimensional gin that you won’t soon forget.
Tasting Notes:
On the nose, you’ll find the usual gin aromas of wildflowers and juniper, but there’s also a background of caramel and sweet honey. On the palate, this barreled gin is filled with unique flavors. There are obvious juniper berries as well as vanilla beans, caramelized sugar, and botanicals peeking out at the very end. The finish is a nice combination of charred wood and spice.
Bottom Line:
Instead of using this gin for a classic gin and tonic, we prefer to use it as a base for a floral, ramped up old fashioned.
Like many of the distilleries on this list, the folks at Ohio’s Watershed produced both gin and whiskey. They wondered what would happen if they took their popular Four Peel Gin and matured it in bourbon barrels. The result was a dark, wood-aged gin that retained its floral flavors while adding rich, whiskey-like flavors.
Tasting Notes:
Take a moment to breathe in the scents of candied orange peels, citrus zest, a field of wildflowers, and subtle vanilla beans before taking your first sip. When you do, you’ll find flavors of caramelized sugar, orange peels, toffee, and just a hint of spicy cinnamon. It all ends with a nice mix of citrus and sweet sugar.
Bottom Line:
While whiskey drinkers and gin drinkers don’t seem to have a ton in common, they can both come together to embrace the floral, citrus, and caramel flavors of this unique spirit.
French brand Citadelle is a big name in the gin world. So when it released a barrel-aged gin back in 2008, we were pretty excited. It was one of the first barreled gins to hit the market in almost 100 years. Along with juniper and the usual botanicals, the gin is made up of yuzu, genepi, and bleuet. It’s rested in five different wood barrels (Acacia, Mulberry, Cherry, Chestnut, and French Oak) for five months.
Tasting Notes:
Give this gin a proper nosing before taking your first sip. There you’ll find notes of juniper berries, botanicals, candied orange peels, honey, and wood char. Sipping this gin reveals hints of citrus zest, subtle peppery bite, caramel, and a nice, nutty sweetness. The ending is long, warming, and ends with a pleasing bite of pepper.
Bottom Line:
This is as complex as barrel-aged gins get. You might want to mix some of these other matured gins into a cocktail, but we suggest sipping this one neat to enjoy all of the subtle flavors.
Illinois’ FEW is well-known for its whiskeys. But its regular gin is nothing to scoff at. Then, if you really want to unify the two spirits, grab a bottle of the brand’s Barrel Gin. Aged in American oak barrels, this truly unique expression is spicy, sweet, and rich and is referred to as “The Midas Touch of Oak and Time” according to the brand.
Tasting Notes:
On the nose, you’ll note scents of citrus zest, juniper berries, light vanilla, and cinnamon sugar. The palate is swirling with more notable juniper, botanicals, cloves, almonds, and caramel. The finish is long, warming, and ends with dried fruits and spice.
Bottom Line:
This is what barrel-aged gin should taste like. All of the juniper and botanical flavors remain, but the oaky, caramel flavors of whiskey are there too.
Barr Hill begins with your typical juniper-based old tom gin (a style that sits between London Dry and a sweeter Dutch Genever). It’s then aged in new, charred American oak barrels before raw honey is added to complete the complex flavor experience. Designed for drinking neat or for mixing into your favorite cocktail (gin or whiskey-based), it’s a perfect combination of botanical, sweet, and oaky.
Tasting Notes:
Before sipping, breathe in the aromas of wildflowers, vanilla, honey, and subtle spice. Take a sip and you’ll find notes of charred oak, clover honey, buttery caramel, slight juniper, and botanicals. It finishes with a mixture of oak, caramel, and floral flavors.
Bottom Line:
If you enjoy an old tom gin with a pronounced juniper flavor as well as a nice glass of whiskey, you’ll love this barrel-aged gin that bridges the two nicely.
Old tom gin doesn’t have to mature in whiskey barrels. Technically, the title refers to a less juniper-driven, sweeter gin. But Ransom’s version is barrel-aged and a little more complicated than most. The worst used is malted barley (similar to a single malt Scotch), but it’s infused with botanicals, like a gin. Then it’s distilled in a copper pot still before being matured in French wine casks for as long a year.
Tasting Notes:
On the nose, you’ll find aromas of toasted vanilla beans, subtle botanicals, slight juniper, and just a hint of oak. The palate is filled with flavors of candied orange peels, buttery caramel, sweet malts, spruce tips, and vanilla. The finish is long, mellow, and ends with a nice mix of malts and botanicals.
Bottom Line:
If you’re a whiskey fan, there’s no better option on this list than Ransom Old Tom. It has the sweet, malty flavor of a great single malt and the herbal quality of gin.
Corsair is well-known for its envelop pushing spirits like Triple Smoke American Single Malt Whiskey and its use of lesser-known grains. But its real winner is its Barreled Gin. This pot-distilled gin was made with juniper, clover, orange peel, and other botanicals before being rested in barrels that previously held spiced rum.
Tasting Notes:
This complex gin deserves a proper nosing. Upon doing so, you’ll be treated to aromas of juniper, cloves, and botanicals that move into charred oak and vanilla fairly quickly. Sipping this gin reveals more clove, juniper, as well as sweet rum, molasses, and toasted vanilla beans. The finish is subtly sweet and spicy.
Bottom Line:
It seems like most barreled gins are matured or rested in whiskey barrels. This expression is perfect for fans of spiced rum.
New Riff has made a name for itself in the whiskey world over the past few years. But you definitely shouldn’t sleep on its Kentucky Wild Gin Bourbon Barreled. The gin features twelve botanicals sourced from Kentucky, including wild juniper berries and American spicebush. It blends in some new make rye whiskey before aging in New Riff Bourbon barrels for five to seven months.
Tasting Notes:
The first thing you should do with a complicated spirit like this is to give it a nice nosing. You’ll note aromas of toasted vanilla beans, charred oak, juniper, and subtle peppery rye. Take time to revel in the flavors of candied orange peels, wood char, botanicals, and more cracked black pepper and citrus at the finish.
Bottom Line:
If you’re a whiskey (specifically rye) drinker and you only try one expression on this list, make it New Riff Kentucky Wild Gin Bourbon Barreled. No other spirits toe the line between gin, bourbon, and rye quite like this one.

The Miami Heat saw Udonis Haslem play in a basketball game for the first time this season on Thursday night. His appearance, which came against the Philadelphia 76ers, saw him play exactly two minutes and 40 seconds worth of basketball before he was ejected for picking up a pair of technical fouls. Speaking after the game, Haslem made clear that he was proud that this was the way things went, as it could possibly be his final time taking the floor for the Heat.
You might be stunned to learn that Jimmy Butler, who is a big fan of altercations in essentially every form, shared the same sentiment as Haslem. Speaking after the game, Butler said that Haslem getting into it with Dwight Howard was high on the list of his favorite moments this season.
“I love confrontation, altercation, all of that good stuff. I encourage it…” @JimmyButler called @ThisIsUD‘s exchange with Dwight Howard his favorite moment of the season. pic.twitter.com/prAr45fv1X
“It’s at the top,” Butler said. “I love confrontation, altercation, all of that good stuff. I feed off of it, we feed off of it, I encourage it.”
Let this be a warning to teams the Heat might run into during the playoffs: If Udonis Haslem checks into a game, do not start things with him, because Jimmy Butler and company will get really happy if he gets tossed from a game.
Last June, the most popular movie on Netflix, 365 Dni (Polish for 365 Days), was also highly controversial. The film (which was not produced by Netflix and was, in fact, a Polish movie distributed by Next Film) captured the same audience as the 50 Shades of Grey trilogy, which already had enough issues with consent to be questionable. Yet those films looked tame compared to a story about a Sicilian Mafia boss who kidnapped a woman and gave her a year to essentially develop Stockholm Syndrome and fall in love with him. Well, plenty of viewers were here for a horny boat scene, and there’s more of that type of thing coming soon.
The film was based upon Blanka Lipińska’s book trilogy, which means that there’s plenty more source material out there to follow up with. People watched the heck out of the first movie, despite Rotten Tomatoes scores of 0% (from critics) and 29% (from audiences) and Netflix is gonna do the thing by making two more sequels. It’s an eyebrow-raising move, given that (as Deadline recalls), the film drew 95,000 signatures on a petition for Netflix to remove the film from streaming, and that effort was joined by Welsh singer Duffy, who publicly spoke out about her own kidnapping ordeal, in which she was held captive and raped. The marketing on the sequels thus far, however, emphasizes a steamy romance and, now, a rivalry.
According to the film’s logline (via Netflix), “Laura and Massimo are back and hotter than ever. But the reunited couple’s new beginning is complicated by Massimo’s family ties and a mysterious man who enters Laura’s life to win her heart and trust, at any cost.” Netflix quotes Łukasz Kluskiewicz, their Content Acquisition Manager in Poland as saying, “365 Days was one of our most popular films for our members in 2020. We’re working closely with Blanka Lipinska, the author of the 365 Days trilogy of books and writer of the film, to continue Laura and Massimo’s story on screen. Their journey together is full of many twists and turns as our characters continue to grow and learn more about themselves.”
The appeal of “nice” comedy was obvious during the last 15 months or so of angst and isolation. Stuck in our homes, we clung to new classic comfort food like The Office and Parks And Rec while bringing The Good Place, Superstore, and Schitt’s Creek in for gentle landings and discovering the charms of Ted Lasso’s optimism.
With all of these shows, characters led with heart and soul while navigating the awkward yet largely benign bits of life and work. They reflected a better time with better people living a version of normal — with empathy and consideration — that we wanted to sit with. No one was aggressively mean to each other or willing to stab supposed friends in the back. Not like on Seinfeld, Arrested Development, Curb, and It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia, shows that are hilarious, iconic, and which also got their share of rewatches, but which didn’t offer as much emotional nourishment.
Success begets success, and so we’ve seen new shows come in with an eye on echoing the tone of things that have been working. Rutherford Falls, as an example, draws inspiration from a lot of those shows (some more than others). Is it funny? Not really, but everyone seems pleasant and there are worse ways to spend a five-hour binge.
There is a third option, though, shows where the characters can be occasional assholes while still showing pops of humanity and growth. A type of show that might be a better fit for these times, because a lot of assholes need to show pops of humanity and growth.
Broad City was a show like that. The Other Two seems like it’s aiming to be that kind of show. Ditto Girls5Eva (which is so smart, so funny, and so worth your time). Mythic Quest absolutely is that kind of show. And so too is Hacks, a new series (which is now available to stream on HBO Max) that somehow manages to find common ground and heart despite a generational chasm between two neurotic main characters who are often awful at being people and worse at being kind to each other.
Created by Broad City alums Lucia Aniello, Paul Downs, and Jen Statsky, Hacks has Jean Smart playing Deborah Vance, an absolute diva and stand-up comedy icon whose career is sputtering. Enter Hannah Einbinder, who plays Ava, a young comedy writer whose plan for ascension is blocked by a mean tweet that got her sort of canceled and a personality that isn’t helping matters.
When we’re introduced to her, Deborah is more brand than person, something that takes careful planning, hard work, and slavish repetition — a behind-the-curtain hustle that is shown in great detail. It’s the kind of life that makes someone allergic to revealing their vulnerable side or slowing down. And Hacks does such a good job of exploring what that means for a person as Deborah is confronted by the reality of where she is in her career and the presence of Ava. Despite that praise, it might be how the show portrays Ava that’s most noteworthy.
I’ll use the SNLGen Z hospital sketch from the Elon Musk episode as a contrast. The joke there is that Gen Z kids communicate differently, making it hard for people not of that generation to understand. Now, perhaps the point is to dunk on people who throw their hands up and don’t try to understand anyone under 30, but it comes off like a slam on “these kids today.” And that’s an easy trap to fall down and one that I thought might ensnare Hacks with Ava, who isn’t explicitly Gen Z, but who is likely close enough to that age range (I think it tops out at 24).
Clearly, the writers here (the creators are in their mid-30s) want to say something profound about Ava and someone who is ambitious and needs to believe they have it all figured out (even when they don’t) while in their 20s. But there’s added dimension to Ava with clearly more to come. She isn’t a collection of catchphrases and cliches about being in your 20s made for an audience that’s not.
How Deborah and Ava connect is the most profound part of the show at this stage because it speaks to a gap that is supposedly insurmountable. Because it’s easier to shrug and think that people only move in separate lanes, one for those 35 and older who are hurdling toward the societal death of pop culture irrelevance and the other for those younger who are on a much longer (much more fun) road to the same place when they too get usurped by whatever comes next in a decade or so. Easier to forget the ties that bind.
I’m in my 30s and I’ve retained far too much about shows and movies that other people rightly brand as forgettable. Occasionally, I’ll talk with friends who are a few years younger and who are fortunate enough to have not been raised totally by television or who are blessed to be able to purge the very purge-worthy minutia of pop culture (because not everything needs to stick to the wall). With these people, I will reference things from the before times of the ‘90s and ‘80s, registering a blank. And while it can momentarily flash as something worth getting exasperated with, context matters.
We are in a moment right now where there is an endless ocean of content. And the waters are rising. Every day, with approximately 900 streaming channels and content studios churning out new things for us to watch and obsess over. With this, it is impossible to absorb it all but necessary to absorb a lot of it. Because it’s all so good and all so relevant to the pop culture conversation that helps to connect us.
When I was a teenager, this was not the case. Fewer channels meant less content. And so I drifted to the past and consumed a diet of reruns that aren’t as in people’s faces now with algorithms recirculating the things like the things we just watched. How could we possibly expect someone to know about super obscure things from long ago if those things are made to be needles in a haystack?
Listen, it’s cold out there when people don’t click with your obscure tastes. You feel weird for hanging onto specific memories of Duckman, Kids In The Hall, or old Conan sketches, but it’s natural. Nobody is the asshole in the pop culture generation wars. Just don’t be totally dug in against the idea of experiencing the refreshing new things (which are so vibrant, deep, unique, and representative of a wider world) or the foundational old things. And don’t buy into the forces that say we have to be divided with our interests and restricted to what’s assigned to our designated labels.
This is why it was so weird to see people freak out over that Scorsese thing when he was talking about the value of curation (among other things). People shouldn’t be afraid of smart people saying “hey, this new thing improves on an old idea” or “this old thing is cool and it influenced this new thing.” And I would hope people wouldn’t feel condescended to by what is meant to be a helpful act. When it’s meant that way and people aren’t confusing an invitation to a party with the deed to the whole house, painting everything they love as important or relevant or better than. As with all things, balance. The goal is to find the cool shit.
Anyway, that’s just my opinion, I could be wrong and I didn’t mean to go off on a rant here… which is a reference to an obscure ’90s thing that nobody should feel obligated to know about. The point to all of this is Hacks is the rare thing that is trying to build a bridge between generations. Deborah will gradually learn to appreciate Ava’s unique perspective and Ava will learn how groundbreaking Deborah was and what she had to sacrifice to get where she is. All that is informing these characters and driving this show toward a place where it can live in that third TV comedy bucket where it’s neither dripping in sentiment or acid. To be sure, this is a funny and complicated story about assholes gradually becoming smaller assholes and better friends. A story about grudging connection and making fun of things together instead of apart. It’s a story for these specific times and a broad audience.
The first two episodes of ‘Hacks’ can be streamed on HBO Max with additional episodes dropping on Thursdays.
Considering her coolly poised presentation and jazzy vocal style, it might have surprised some fans to find that Jorja Smith has a song on her new EP called “Bussdown.” However, rather than a ratchet anthem, Jorja delivered a laid-back, reggae-influenced song that found her flexing, expressing her pride in being a self-made woman who can afford to treat herself. The video takes things a step further, imagining a world in which male-female dynamics are reversed by depicting the transaction between Jorja as an unscrupulous mechanic and her customer, who doesn’t realize he’s the one being taken for a ride.
While the visuals depict their glamorous exploits, Jorja and guest rapper Shaybo’s lyrics highlight how their money doesn’t absolve foul treatment at the hands of a male-dominated society or in their relationships. “If I go broke today, will you stay or leave?” questions Shaybo. Meanwhile, Jorja’s chorus sums up the reason for their vengeful mood: “Feels so bad to feel nice,” she croons. “But she can’t handle that, it comes with a small price.”
“Bussdown” appears on Jorja’s new EP Be Right Back, which dropped last night. The eight-track effort is her first since 2018’s Lost & Found.

Back in April, news hit that Amazon’s Lord of the Rings series will cost $465 million just for the first season. That’s apparently on top of the $250 million that the streaming studio reportedly paid the Tolkien estate for the global rights. So, there’s a reason why Amazon’s attempt at making the next Game of Thrones has been called one of the most expensive TV series ever made.
During a panel discussion of Hollywood’s most powerful women, Amazon Studios chief Jennifer Salke got candid about the LOTR series’ hefty price tag, and why “the market is crazy” right now as evidenced by the $469 million that Netflix is paying Rian Johnson for two Knives Out sequels. However, she argues the price is worth it because the money that Amazon is investing now will streamline production on later seasons of the Middle-earth series. Although, Salke does concede that the whole thing requires a massive audience showing up, which is a pretty big gamble. Via The Hollywood Reporter:
This is a full season of a huge world-building show. The number is a sexy headline or a crazy headline that’s fun to click on, but that is really building the infrastructure of what will sustain the whole series. But it is a crazy world and various people on this Zoom, mostly Bela and me, have been in bidding situations where it starts to go incredibly high. There’s a lot of wooing and we have to make decisions on where we want to stretch and where we want to draw the line. As for how many people need to watch Lord of the Rings? A lot. (Laughs.) A giant, global audience needs to show up to it as appointment television, and we are pretty confident that that will happen.
Set thousands of years before the events of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, the Amazon series will focus on the Second Age of Middle-earth when Sauron first created the One Ring. According to the official synopsis, the series will “take viewers back to an era in which great powers were forged, kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin, unlikely heroes were tested, hope hung by the finest of threads, and the greatest villain that ever flowed from Tolkien’s pen threatened to cover all the world in darkness.”
Internet Money’s new single “His & Hers” arrived yesterday amid a packed New Music Friday slate, but that doesn’t detract from its hit potential. To refocus fans’ attention on the single, the production duo consisting of Nick Mira and Taz Taylor released the Cole Bennett-directed video today, prompting some celebratory tweets from Taylor.
As with most Lyrical Lemonade productions, director Cole Bennett imagines a fantastical world for his stars Don Toliver, Gunna, and Lil Uzi Vert to play around in, this time taking inspiration from nostalgia for the Windows XP default desktop backgrounds of his youth (dear God, I feel old). While Don Toliver performs his verse on a grassy hilltop under a partially cloudy blue sky, Gunna’s performance takes place in a cubical room with a similar pattern on the walls and ceiling. Meanwhile, Toliver gets to frolic among a field of sunflowers during the chorus, and Uzi tools around on the surface of the moon. For group shots, all three appear in a misty forest setting, dressed in outlandish camo hunting outfits.
