Do you love your family? Do you hate your family? Do you find that your fights are lacking some Emmy-caliber comebacks and snazzy one-liners? Are you looking to enhance your usage of the F word? You’re in luck!
The publication will feature never-before-seen material, including deleted scenes, alternative dialogue, and exclusive introductions from the show’s producers, which you are free to act out in your living room (generational trauma and baseball caps are not included).
Producer Jesse Armstrong said he is excited for fans to see what details did and did not make the final cut. “I’m delighted Faber are publishing the scripts for Succession,” the producer said in a statement. “These will be the full scripts, not transcripts of broadcast versions and I hope people who enjoy the show will find it interesting to see what changed as we filmed and edited the episodes. I’m proud of the work my fellow writers and I have done on Succession and couldn’t be more pleased that Faber will be their home for publication.”
Season one will include an exclusive introduction from Armstrong, while seasons two, three, and four will include exclusive introductions by other screenwriters Frank Rich and Lucy Prebble. The fourth season script will become available at the conclusion of the series, which will be this year. Sorry.
The Succession scripts will be available on May 18th. You can preorder them here.
As the franchise tag deadline loomed, Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens were unable to reach an agreement on a long-term deal to keep the former MVP in Baltimore.
The result was the Ravens putting the non-exclusive franchise tag on Jackson, which has a price tag of $32.4 million for next season, while allowing Jackson to negotiate freely with other teams.
The #Ravens applied the non-exclusive franchise tag on Lamar Jackson. That comes with a $32.4 million salary for 2023 and allows Jackson, for the first time in his career, to negotiate with other teams.
However, while Jackson can negotiate any deal he wants elsewhere, the Ravens can match any offer sheet Jackson signs or, if they let him walk, will receive two first-round picks. The two first-round picks would not be a massive return for Jackson by any stretch, particularly given what Russell Wilson and other stars have gone for recently. That said, it does mitigate the damage a bit for the Ravens should Jackson find a team willing to give him what he wants.
Mostly, though, this seems to be the Ravens wanting to prove to Jackson that there is not another team in the league willing to give him the guaranteed money he is demanding, and will let the market show him what is actually out there for his (tremendous) services. For teams pursuing Jackson, this makes the upcoming negotiations very tricky. As to what teams will get involved, that remains to be seen but one of the expected top suitors is apparently not going to be in the mix, as Dianna Russini reports the Falcons will not make an offer to Jackson.
The Atlanta Falcons will not be pursuing QB Lamar Jackson, per sources.
Those teams will have to figure out what they’re willing to offer Jackson (who is negotiating the deal himself as he doesn’t have an agent) and what will be enough to make sure the Ravens don’t simply match the offer sheet. Baltimore seems fairly convinced there’s not a fully guaranteed deal out there — as Jackson has reportedly asked for like what Deshaun Watson got from Cleveland — but what we don’t know is what number they’re willing to go up to in order to keep their star in town. A team like the Raiders, which is desperate for a star QB and doesn’t have a draft pick this year that is likely to get them one of the top QBs in this year’s Draft, could choose to accept the risk and pay Jackson the guaranteed figure he wants, hoping that he stays healthy long enough to make it all worthwhile.
This all could pay dividends for Jackson, provided teams think he is actually attainable on the market and are willing to try and throw him an offer that would make Baltimore balk. Whether that market presents itself or not will, if nothing else, tell us where the rest of the league stands on Lamar’s value long-term.
Not too long ago, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy made the highly controversial decision to give Tucker Carlson access to January 6 footage. Last night, the Fox News personality attempted to use the tapes to downplay the attack on the Capitol building as just a couple of “sightseers.” Who could have seen that coming?
“The footage does not show an insurrection or a riot in progress,” Carlson said of the edited footage that he aired Monday night. “Taken as a whole, the video record does not support the claim that Jan. 6 was an insurrection. In fact, it demolishes that claim. And that’s exactly why the Democratic Party and its allies in the media prevented you from seeing it.”
Hmm. Interesting. Let’s see what Republicans in the senate who lived through the little sightseeing tour thought of the report. Via Mediaite:
“I was here. I was down there and I saw maybe a few tourists, a few people who got caught up in things. But when you see police barricades breached, when you see police officers assaulted, all of that … if you were just a tourist you should’ve probably lined up at the visitors’ center and came in on an orderly basis,” Tillis added.
Senator Mike Rounds from South Dakota also had words for Carlson. “I thought it was an insurrection at that time. I still think it was an insurrection today,” Rounds told reporters.
Mitt Romney was not a fan either and called out Carlson’s blatant selective editing of the attack footage.
“The American people saw what happened on Jan. 6,” Romney said. “They’ve seen the people that got injured, they saw the damage to the building. You can’t hide the truth by selectively picking a few minutes out of tapes and saying this is what went on. It’s so absurd. It’s nonsense.”
Senate Minority Whip John Thune and Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley were also among the growing chorus of Republicans who were not thrilled with Carlson’s shenanigans. So… whoops?
Tom Brady retired (again) earlier this offseason, and now, there are rumors that he may unretire and play another NFL season (again). Brady announced his second retirement on a beach back in February, saying that unlike the departure from football that he announced last year, this one would be “for good.”
Despite that, Rich Eisen of NFL Network shared an apparent rumor that made its way around at the NFL Draft Combine: Brady has some interest in playing during the 2023 season. According to Eisen, the belief in Indianapolis was that the Miami Dolphins are a team to watch in Brady’s alleged interest in never living anywhere other than Florida ever again.
Tom Brady might not be “done after all” with his playing in the NFL, according to @RichEisenShow who talked to people in Indy.
Brady is apparently not joining Fox as its lead NFL broadcaster until 2024, so he does have some time to kill before he gets into the television game. There was a rumor that he’s considering getting into stand-up comedy, but despite the Tampa Bay Buccaneers struggling last season, it does seem like he still has some gas in the tank if he decides to play football again.
On Tuesday, Brady addressed Eisen’s report on his Twitter account and indicated that he’s a little too busy after getting his daughter a kitten.
Anyone who thinks I have time to come back to the NFL has never adopted a 2 month old kitten for their daughter. https://t.co/Qzf2H4vr1j
There is nothing stopping Brady from spending the next three months taking care of his new cat and then signing a deal with an NFL team. We’ll keep you updated on any additional relevant updates regarding the kitten as they become available.
A few years ago (after mass shootings had really cranked up again, and “bad apple” law enforcement members kept misappropriating a certain logo), I made the argument that Marvel should put The Punisher to sleep. And I still think that should be the case as Castle was interpreted by the aforementioned parties. As well, the second season of the Netflix series lost its way when Castle took on a surrogate father role of sorts and softened up in the most awkward manner. Over all, this felt like an unintentionally coordinated existential crisis for the character as originally intended, and maybe things are about to get more confusing. Or maybe they’ll get better. Who knows!
Whatever the case, Jon Bernthal is making a Frank Castle comeback in a 2024 Marvel Studio series, Daredevil: Born Again. As already noted, Charlie Cox is on the roster to lead as Matt Murdock/Daredevil (with Vincent D’Onofrio returning as Wilson Fisk/Kingpin), and the show was described by Cox as something of a “reincarnation” and definitely “different” than what materialized on Netflix. Now, The Punisher is joining the mix for this show that’s slated for Disney+, which means that the semi-automatic-wielding Frank Freaking Castle is also going to, you know, apparently be on Disney+.
How different will Castle really be on a new streaming service? No insight has formally arrived as of yet, and The Hollywood Reporter doesn’t have many details (other than an 18-episode season will arrive in 2024), yet also notably, The Punisher will be an addition to the source material:
Born Again takes its title from a landmark Daredevil storyline published in 1986, written by Frank Miller and drawn by David Mazzuchelli. The show is deviating from that plot, although by how much is unclear. The Punisher, for example, made no appearance in the comic story. Daredevil versus Wilson Fisk, aka the Kingpin, remains the focal point.
Hmm. Marvel didn’t respond yet to this report when contacted by The Hollywood Reporter, so there’s no telling what the real (and certainly tweaked) plans are for Castle. The world could always use more onscreen Jon Bernthal (he even somehow made The Bear a better show than it already was in a small yet pivotal role), so I’m willing to give this move the benefit of the doubt. I cannot envision Frank Castle arriving as-is on this reinvention of a series, but we shall see, sometime in 2024.
Musicians often use their art as a release of their most intimate thoughts. Alternative musician Indigo De Souza is no exception. With songs like “Real Pain,” “Kill Me,” and her new single “Smog,” you couldn’t think otherwise.
“Smog” follows up “Younger & Dumber,” both off of her forthcoming album All Of This Will End, due out next month. Never afraid to put her emotions on forefront, “Smog” provides an honest detailing of what it’s like to battle with high-level anxiety when in the public eye as she sings, “I talk too much when I’m nervous / I give too much away / And you might think I’m trying to f*ck, but I’m really just trying to bang / I don’t think I deserve it / I don’t think anything / I just sit down and shut up /And hope they don’t notice me.”
In the self-directed video, the musician demonstrates just how that entanglement of feelings presents itself in public places and with those she comes in contact with in these shared spaces.
In a statement, De Souza shared “Smog” in her words is “about that strange time and how it felt in my house, alone. When the neighborhood was asleep, and all the lawnmowers stopped, I felt free to make anything and sing anything I wanted. It was my first time ever living alone. It brought me a lot closer to myself.”
The singer contained, “I was living alone on a dead-end street surrounded by neighbors who were seemingly always mowing their lawns. I remember having a lot of anxiety during the day, navigating the newly awkward and uncertain experience of doing anything mid-world freak-out. I was in an emotional state that felt like a cross between delirious joy and a real tired hopelessness. Everything felt unknown and distant.”
Watch the video above.

It’s not a secret that servers are typically underpaid and make most of their money from tips, which means if people don’t tip, the server is losing money on that table. That may sound confusing if you’ve never waited tables, so I’ll try to explain since waiting tables helped put me through college. The federal minimum wage for tipped workers is $2.13 an hour. If you have to Uber to work, you’re starting your shift in the hole.
So when customers don’t tip, it’s even harder to recoup that money lost just getting to work. A table being occupied by non-tippers takes away the opportunity for the server to earn a tip from a different customer who could be seated at that table. Working as a server is a constant numbers game to make sure you leave your shift with enough money to meet your needs for the day.
So when a large party is seated in your section, you’re hoping the gratuity will offset the amount of attention the table will take. But sometimes large parties don’t tip or don’t tip well, and that’s exactly what happened to a TikTok creator who goes by Spotlight Shanell.
Shanell was serving tables one day when a party of 21 sat in her section. After waiting an extended amount of time for the remainder of the party to arrive, they were served their food and paid the bill, which ended up being $351.11. At a standard 18% gratuity, the tip should’ve equaled $63.20, which is clearly printed on the receipt the customer signed, but the tip Shanell received was $10. Out of frustration, she took to TikTok to complain, but what happened next was an act of true community.
During last night’s (March 6) Indiana Pacers game against the Philadelphia 76ers, 50 Cent was having a blast with Will Ferrell. Before the game, 50 wheeled Ferrell onto the court in a go-kart.
“Big round of applause for Will Ferrell,” the announcer booms in the video, which the rapper uploaded to social media.
However, it seems that the kart was quite heavy, as 50 struggled to push it more than a little bit at a time. To borrow one of the post’s top comments, “If 50 can’t do it, then it can’t be done.”
“Ran into one of my favorite actors Will Ferrell at the game #bransoncognac #lecheminduroi,” Fif wrote in his Instagram caption. “Indiana Pacers vs 76ers first the eagles now this I’m done #bransoncognac #lecheminduroi.”
In the second clip of 50 Cent’s slideshow, he approached Ferrell and the two shared a handshake and a hug — and fans are loving it. “Will is just so damn cool,” one commented on 50’s Instagram post.
“That was so genuine. Will grabbed Fif hand like he was ready to go tell everyone “Hey everyone meet my friend Curtis!” He was too excited. Made me smile,” another added.
Ferrell had already been in Indianapolis to film a documentary, according to HipHopDX. Meanwhile, 50 Cent has a partnership with the Pacers for his alcohol company, Sire Spirits.

Some of the artists mentioned here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary or Warner Music Group.
What I like about the show Shrinking is that it’s almost exactly as good as it should be. There’s a high bar here with the talent involved. It’s led by the team behind Ted Lasso(Brett Goldstein and Bill Lawrence), it’s got a cast filled with comedy veterans (Jason Segel, Jessica Williams, Ted McGinley, Christa Miller, etc.), and it’s got an interesting premise (therapists whose personal lives are a huge mess). It looks good on paper and it is good in practice, which is not nothing from a creative standpoint. It’s not taking the easy route, either. The show does a little two-step over and around the line between comedy and drama that can be tough to cross without tripping and wiping out in front of everyone. Check it out if you haven’t yet. I think you might dig it.
And when you check it out, you will probably notice something else that I probably should have mentioned in the first paragraph: Harrison Ford is on the show. Like, the Harrison Ford. Indiana Jones. Han Solo. The fugitive from The Fugitive. He plays a cranky older therapist named Paul and he is an absolute delight. There was one episode where he and Jessica Williams sang along to “Every Morning” by Sugar Ray in a car, which you need to see. (Click here, scroll down.) One time his character got very high on edibles and went to a party. That was also just about exactly as good as you would expect it to be, which is to say “very.” It’s a good time.
And that is the end of the part of our discussion where we cover trivial things like the quality of the show and how wild it is that Harrison Ford is absolutely killing it on a television series in 2023. We have important things to get to. I do, at least. There is one particular aspect of the show that is driving me crazy. I need to know how Harrison Ford’s glasses stay on his face like this…
APPLE
and like this…

I have worn glasses my entire adult life. I understand the physics of resting them on top of your head, where your hair is. I get sliding them down your nose to look over the top of them. But I have tried to do this — resting them in the dead center of my forehead — a dozen times in the last few days, including once again just now, and gravity simply will not allow them to stay there. They donk back onto my nose immediately. One time they fell off my face entirely.
“But Brian,” you say, with condescension dripping off of all three of those syllables. “He’s leaning back in both of those screencaps. Maybe that’s the reason they stay in place.”
Okay, smart guy. Explain this…
APPLE
… and this.
APPLE
No leaning there. Sitting pretty straight up. Glasses still locked into place in the center of his forehead.
“Okay, Brian,” you say again, like a snot. “But he is raising his eyebrows a little in both of these. He’s scrunching up his face, creating a ledge for them to rest on. It’s not that outlandish, really.”
Oh yeah?
WELL HOW ABOUT THIS?
APPLE
HE IS LEANING OVER.
HE IS BENDING FORWARD TO POUR COFFEE.
THOSE THINGS REMAIN LOCKED IN PLACE IN DEFIANCE OF REASON AND SCIENCE.
AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN.
APPLE
Pretty quiet now, Mr. Glasses Expert. Not hearing a lot out of you after two screencaps of screen legend Harrison Ford hunched over tables and counters with his glasses resting on his forehead despite biology and physics both telling us they should have slid right off his face and splashed into his jet-black coffee. Nothing to say?
“Well, it’s hard to tell from the still images,” you mutter, flailing. “Maybe he just limits his head movement when they’re up there and h-…”
Oh, buddy. Did you really think I would come into this without GIFs? Like this hasn’t been eating at me to the degree I have an entire folder full of images on my computer? Oh, I have GIFs. Two of them. Look at this guy doing rapid movements side-to-side in a way that should easily dislodge those spectacles.
APPLE
“Yeah, but side-to-side wouldn’t affect gravity. That would be more of a rapid movement up or d-“
RAPID MOVEMENT UP OR DOWN, YOU SAY?
APPLE
It does not make sense to me. It’s to the point now where it almost takes me out of the show. Two characters will be having a nice little conversation in the break room about something in their personal lives and Harrison Ford will walk in with his glasses magically hovering mid-brow and I’ll start scribbling equations on the window like an unwell mathematician in a movie about my personal struggles. People are starting to worry about me.
Anyway, after a lot of thought (too much, probably) (definitely), I have come up with three potential explanations for how Harrison Ford’s glasses stay on his forehead like this:
He has something sticky or tacky on the nose pads that grips whatever skin it touches
Shrinking takes place on the moon and they haven’t told us yet, which would negate the gravity issue, even if it would be weird that his glasses are the only thing affected
Harrison Ford has furrowed his brow so much throughout his life that the muscles in his forehead are extremely strong and can hold light- to medium-weight objects in place for a limited amount of time
I’m leaning toward the last one. For now. I will continue to monitor this situation.
