While Post Malone isn’t known as an especially profane artist, he does work some salty language into his music on a somewhat regular basis, which was a point of contention for a fan he met one time.
In a new video from the YouTube channel Mythical Kitchen (an offshoot of Rhett & Link’s Good Mythical Morning channel), Posty and host Josh Scherer ate several dishes that the rapper chose for his theoretical final meal. As they feasted, they discussed a number of topics and at one point (at 17:04 into the video), Scherer asked if Malone has adapted to “the Mormon way of speaking” since he’d lived in Utah. That prompted a funny anecdote:
“I was staying at a place called Morgan. […] We would go there and ride ATVs and stuff and […] some mom was like, ‘Hey, we really like your music, we don’t like the cuss words that much, but here’s a list of words you can use instead.’ And it was like a four-page, double-sided list of words. It was full of things like ‘phooey, ‘fiddlesticks.’”
Elsewhere during the chat (21:28), he spoke about how he sees his eventual future in music, saying, “I think it’s always gonna be… I’m always gonna write stuff, you know. Whether it gets released is a whole different thing, but I think at a certain point, I’ll just get old and I’ll make songs, and then at that point, no one will be listening to me, so I can make, like, I always talk about acid polka. I’m working on an acid polka album.”
Later (32:19), he noted that when it comes to a song he’d want played at his funeral, he joked about “Little Drummer Boy” before giving his real answer: “But actually, it’d probably be Fleet Foxes something.”
Guy Fieri is opening up about the time he was falsely accused of drinking and driving.
“I was in a fatality car accident when I was 19 when I was in college,” the celebrity chef recalled on the Now What? with Brooke Shields podcast. “I wasn’t driving, I was in the backseat. And, unfortunately, I was with a bunch of guys and… we were drinking.”
The other passengers, who were staying at a nearby campsite as him, were “all in the military together,” Fieri said, and one of them “saw a cop and he was drinking. We were camping a half a mile away. And he took off and we got chased and the car flipped. And the guy next to me was killed. It was horrific. Everybody was messed up. And I had to go Flight for Life in the helicopter.”
When he woke up, Fieri said, he was “in the hospital handcuffed to the gurney” because “everybody in that car [was] saying that I was the one who was driving.”
Fieri was later arrested in his dorm room but “the cops knew I wasn’t [at fault].” His father gave him a stern talking-to, however. “My dad told me, ‘Cut the sh*t. You’re not invincible. This is for real now. You’re not in your hometown anymore. You’re in Las Vegas. You’re big time. You got to focus.’”
It’s a lesson Fieri has passed on to his kids. “Don’t trust anybody to drive you. Don’t trust what anybody puts in a drink and gives it to you. Don’t trust if anybody tells you that this is safe or this is smart,” he said. “You have to be the master of your domain. You have to be in control of your environment.”

Travis Scott’s long-awaited studio album, Utopia, is nearly here. Last week, the rapper shared the lead single, “K-Pop” featuring Bad Bunny and The Weeknd. In the visual, Scott revealed that a supporting stadium tour would be announced shortly. But that’s not the only thing fans should look forward to. During Travis Scott’s headlining appearance at Rolling Loud Miami 2023, he premiered the news that his film with A24 would be released publicly by week’s end.
Now, the official release date is here, and here’s how to watch Travis Scott’s Circus Maximus film. The flick will be shown at select AMC Theatres nationwide beginning on Thursday, July 27, at 10 p.m. local time. The entertainer hasn’t shared any details about the film’s focus, but based on the trailer, it won’t be a cut-and-dry documentary. The AMC website describes the movie, “A mind-bending visual odyssey across the globe, woven together by the speaker rattling sounds of his highly anticipated upcoming album, ‘Utopia.’ The film is a surreal and psychedelic journey, uniting a collective of visionary filmmakers from around the world in a kaleidoscopic exploration of human experience and the power of soundscapes.”
The listed run time for the film is one hour and 15 minutes.

Indie music has grown to include so much. It’s not just music that is released on independent labels but speaks to an aesthetic that deviates from the norm and follows its own weirdo heart. It can come in the form of rock music, pop, or folk. In a sense, it says as much about the people that are drawn to it as it does about the people that make it.

Citizen — “If You’re Lonely”
Citizen aptly described their last album Life in Your Glass World in four words in our 2021 interview: “Loud, quiet, angry, sad.” Their new track “If You’re Lonely” contains these conflicting elements, although the anger is more subtle. Trading in their signature emo-punk sound for indie-rock, Citizen are proving that they can pull off any genre.
MJ Lenderman — “Rudolph”
MJ Lenderman has signed to ANTI- Records and shared this new jam “Rudolph” following the immediate success of his 2022 debut Boat Songs. “Rudolph” has everything that his fans love: the charming indie-rock twang and wonderfully unorthodox lines: “Deleted scene of Lightning McQueen / Blacked out at full speed.”
Big Thief — “Vampire Empire”
“Vampire Empire” has been a favorite for many Big Thief fans despite not receiving an official release until now. It’s been performed on tour, as well as on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. Though listeners are picky with this recorded version, it still possesses the singularly heart-wrenching lyrics that make this song stand out from other indie earworms: “I wanted to be your woman, I wanted to be your man / I wanted to be the one that you could understand,” Adrianne Lenker lulls.
Angel Du$t — “Space Jam”
Angel Du$t have announced their new album Brand New Soul to follow 2021’s YAK: A Collection Of Truck Songs. It’s predictably unhinged from the bat, a nonstop anthem that serves as an unconventional love song: “Come on won’t you be my girl? / I’m asking you to hold my hand / Never going back to earth,” Justice Tripp sings, “Baby, I’ll be your space man / Space Jam.”
Vagabon — “Do Your Worst”
Vagabon had a specific mission when it came to writing “Do Your Worst”: “I set out to make an instrumental that drew from the music you’d hear at an underground club in Germany or the UK yet still lived in the Vagabon musical lexicon,” she said in a statement. The track successfully pulsates with the lively energy of a club while balancing her signature indie textures.
Tame Impala — “Journey To The Real World”
The Barbie movie soundtrack is packed with memorable pop anthems, so Tame Impala’s cameo is quite unexpected. However, the song sticks to Kevin Parker’s typical dreamlike sound, but with an extra disco punch. The buzzing synthesizers add to the otherworldly, energized feeling.
Illuminati Hotties — “Trucker”
“If mortality is a jolting, jagged highway exit, then heaven is a truck as it rumbles through the unknown,” Sarah Tudzin said in a statement. “‘Truck’ is a gentle affirmation that the dream can change at no deficit of dignity. For Tim.” It’s a gentle ballad, different from her past, energetic material, but it keeps the listener captivated by its reckonings.
Restraining Order — Locked In Time
Restraining Order’s 2019 debut This World Is Too Much was a perfect showcase of their unrelenting, uplifting barrage of hardcore. Locked In Time is a promising follow-up that persists with blips of mayhem with shouts of resistance: “There’s gotta be something better than this,” he yells on the rapid-fire “Another Better Day.”
Francis Of Delirium — “Real Love”
“‘Real Love’ at its heart is a simple song about being in love with your best friend,” 21-year-old Jana Bahrich, who makes music as Francis Of Delirium, said in a statement. The sprawling, dreamy track captures the magnitude of this complicated feeling, especially with the riveting repetition of the poignant hook: “Real love isn’t real love when it’s not us.”
Beabadoobee — “The Way Things Go”
Beabadoobee’s “The Way Things Go” is a searing breakup song whose power can be found in its ability to hold back. With a delicate atmosphere, she lulls subtle slights: “And there’s so much left to say / I guess I’m just the bigger guy / And there’s too much on my mind / That I don’t even want to try.”

When the Golden State Warriors traded Jordan Poole to the Washington Wizards in order to bring in Chris Paul, there were not many who saw that move coming and it raised plenty of eyebrows around the league. It wasn’t trading Poole that was the shocker, but just how little they seemingly moved him for, as they brought in Paul on an expiring and had to send a pick with Poole in order to facilitate the deal.
Poole was coming off a rough shooting year with the Warriors, shooting just 33.4 percent from three in the regular season before seeing that drop to 25.4 percent in the playoffs, and was not exactly a favorite in the locker room after he got punched by Draymond Green in a preseason practice. Still, he was a year removed from being a key figure in their run to a championship and seemed like the bridge between the longtime core and the future for the Warriors. However, the Warriors didn’t seem interested in seeing if he could find his rhythm again next year given his price tag, and shuttled him off to Washington to bring in a longtime rival in Chris Paul.
“Yeah, they hated Jordan Poole,” Barkley said of the trade. “They really hated Jordan Poole. That’s the number one thing I said to myself is they really hated Jordan Poole [laughs]. This is going to be a chance for him to reset. He had a tough year with peaks and valleys, so he needed a fresh start so I hope it works out for him.”
It’s hard to see it as anything different than that, even with Steph Curry and others saying the right things publicly about Poole. It certainly felt like they were picking Green over Poole (and it’s understandable why), and we’ve seen recently that folks around Poole aren’t exactly pleased with how Draymond’s talked about the punch and the aftermath. Hopefully Barkley is right and a fresh start in Washington can get Poole right, and it’s possible this deal will work out for all parties involved in the long run.

For those who haven’t yet caught the Barbie movie, here is a warning for spoilers. But for those who have, Ryan Gosling’s Ken is OBSESSED with Matchbox Twenty’s “Push” as a running joke in the movie. He eventually extends this love for the song to all of the Ken’s in Ken-dom, as they serenade the Barbies by the campfire in a truly hilarious scene.
Gosling’s rendition of the track is so popular that it has since been released on Spotify. In a recent interview with USA Today, the band’s lead singer, Rob Thomas, is sharing how he feels about the bit.
“I want to preface this by saying that I thought it was hilarious,” Thomas shared. Still, he also brought up a story about how the band became the joke in Bring It On and had thought it would be a similar story.
“When I got the call for Barbie, they told me, ‘Ken’s by the fireside, he’s playing the song and it’s his favorite band,’” he added. “So I did this thinking I’d be the butt of the joke, and I was fine with that. I’m pretty thick-skinned. But [Atlantic Records’] Julie Greenwald came to the Hollywood Bowl a month or two ago. She had just seen the movie and was like, ‘You come out of it loving Ken and loving ‘Push.” And I was like, ‘Aww. All right, really good!’”
Barbie‘s director, Greta Gerwig, has also revealed that she enjoyed the song over the years.
Listen to Gosling’s cover of “Push” above.
