Pol Granch Releases A Euphoric ‘Que Todo Sea Probar’ Video Alongside His New Album, ‘Amor Escupido’

Pol Granch released his new album Amor Escupido today (October 28). The Spanish singer-songwriter also dropped the delirious music video for “Que Todo Sea Probar.”

Granch received his breakthrough moment last year when he featured on Marc Seguí’s hit “Tiroteo.” After Rauw Alejandro jumped on the remix, their collaboration blew up around the world. The remix has amassed over 395 million streams on Spotify. Granch then started appearing on the hit Netflix series Elite soon after.

In his Amor Escupido album, Granch lets his romantic angst run wild. He embraces the pop-punk revival in his alternative cuts like “Kriño” and “No Te Bastó, Mi Corazón.” Granch also experiments with other genres like synth-pop in “Solo x Ti” and deep house in the Disclosure-like “Desconexión” featuring Garabatto. Reflecting his French heritage, he also sings in a bit in French in that song.

“The album is like a diary in which each page is a song [and] a harpoon that you throw to find what love is and where it takes you,” Granch said in a statement.

Granch also released the music video for “Que Todo Sea Probar.” In the funky dance track, he encourages his listeners to try everything when it comes to love. He manifests that message in the video that features people from all walks of life dancing with each other. Granch also shows his support for the LGBTQ+ community with a same-sex couple sharing a kiss among the euphoric crowd.

Granch is nominated for Best New Artist at the 2022 Latin Grammy Awards. He is already working on a second part of his Amor Escupido album.

Amor Escupido is out now via Sony Music Spain. Listen to it here.

Horror Games That You Can Play With Your Friends This Halloween

Everyone knows that video games are more fun with your friends. Whether it’s a multiplayer game, going through a story in co-op mode, or having someone sit down next to you while you go through a single-player adventure, having someone else there to go through the experience with you can take an 8/10 game and turn it into a 10/10.

This applies to horror games, too, where a bond is created by going through the game together. Every scare, clutch, or intense moment is magnified by having someone right there in your ear screaming along with you. That’s why we went out and found some of the best horror games to play with friends as we get closer to Halloween.

Dead by Daylight

Have you ever wanted to experience what it’s like to be inside of a horror movie, to feel the fear that runs through your veins as Ghostface, Freddy Kruger, or Michael Myers chase you down? Then Dead by Daylight may be the game for you. This multiplayer game pits four survivors, all player controlled, against one player-controlled killer, and the objective for both sides is quite simple: The survivors need to escape and the killers need to hunt everyone down. While it’s framed as a team game, there isn’t really any penalty for being the lone survivor, but if you help teammates out, then you’ll have a better chance at surviving to the end.

While playing as the killer is plenty of fun, getting a good group of friends and playing together online can be a great time. Communication is a good way to overwhelm most killers, and if you go the extra mile to try and ensure most of the group survives, then you can have some clutch moments where a friend saves someone from the killer’s grasp as you both book it for the exit. I’ve watched one of my friends juke the killer and do exactly this. The exhilaration I felt as we escaped made me jump off my couch in excitement.

Phasmophobia

Who wants to go ghost hunting? You won’t be able to fight the ghosts at all, but you can document them for extra cash which you can then use to buy better ghost hunting equipment. Okay, so that’s only half the fun of Phasmophobia, the other half is letting it chill you to the bone as ghosts do their best to murder you. It’s up to the player to gather enough clues to to figure out what each ghost is before it goes haywire and kills everyone in the building. That said, if you’re sneaky enough and good at hiding, you should be able to survive the ghost attacks if it’s not in the room with you already.

Phasmophobia is at its best with friends. As a suggestion, only play the game through its internal chat, because the way audio works in the game players will sound more distant the farther they are from you, and you have to spend a lot of time talking through walkie-talkies. During hunts, all technological devices like the walkie-talkies shut off merely adding to the horror. You can still talk to anyone close to you, of course, but be wary because the ghost can still hear you.

The Quarry

Like Dead by Daylight, The Quarry is the opportunity for players to play through a horror movie. A spiritual successor to the extremely popular Until Dawn, it lets players control the actions of characters through quick-time events and decision making. It involves a lot of watching, and multiple endings, but the experience is a great time and lives up to the Until Dawn name for a lot of longtime fans.

What makes The Quarry different is that unlike Until Dawn this was designed with multiplayer in mind. Players can either be on the couch or online taking turns controlling different characters. An added benefit that is surely popular with streamers is that others can view in to the game online and make decisions via vote. This makes The Quarry one of those games that can be great to either play with a single friend, or a larger group, and no experience will ever feel the same thanks to the multiple endings. A great multiplayer experience from top to bottom.

Resident Evil 5

If you have ever seen the Resident Evil movies, you know they aren’t exactly scary, but more like campy action movies. The games, meanwhile, have some of the most horrifying moments in all of gaming. That is until Resident Evil 5 came along, made longtime character Chris Redfield the size of an NFL defensive lineman, and gave players a permanent partner throughout the game in Sheva Alomar. It’s not a particularly scary game, especially with some of the more ridiculous setpieces in the later game, but with a friend it’s a co-op masterpiece.

Resident Evil 5 is a ridiculous game. Chris, at one point, punches a boulder because it was in his way and it worked. Get a friend, order a pizza, crack open some drinks, and spend a memorable weekend playing through one of the most ridiculous “horror” games ever made. It’s unfortunately two players only, but you and that friend will surely bond as you go deeper into this game.

State of Decay 2

State of Decay 2 is less scary and more stressful. It’s a zombie survival game, so that means resource management, crafting, and looting are all in the cards for anyone that plays through this. The reason it’s fun with friends is that, if you choose to largely ignore the objectives, State of Decay 2 suddenly becomes your own personal Zombieland. Every decision is made to not further along the plot, but instead figure out where you should be spending your time next.

For a month, a group of friends and I picked this up in a sale on Steam and had the time of our lives as we ignored the plot and spent our time trying to find the best cars, the coolest places to live, and figure out fun new ways to mow down zombies. Be careful, though, because if you get too greedy, the horde will have its revenge on you and its curtains.

Nick Kroll On Figuring Out Adulthood, ‘Big Mouth,’ And His New Stand-Up Special

Nick Kroll‘s focus on childhood and adolescence has been central to the success and expanding universe of Big Mouth (which just returned for its 6th season after the debut of its spinoff, Human Resources). But in his recently released Netflix stand-up special, Little Big Boy, the focus expands to ponder matters related to his own child in addition to personal analogies and jokes about love, heartbreak, moms, snacking, and hypnosis, among other things.

It’s a mix that speaks to the life changes going on in Kroll’s life over the last couple of years after getting married and having a kid, and why our first question when we spoke with him recently was a check-in on the state of his arrested development. Kroll is upfront about being an in-progress adult. He’s also candid in explaining the nuanced approach to whether he wants future standup material to weave in stories about his wife and child, people who aren’t on stage with him, while also giving his thoughts on when people should show their kids Big Mouth, his favorite Mel Brooks films, and what it’s like to give notes to the legend while working together on the History Of The World Part 1 sequel.
Where are you on the sort of journey toward adulthood right now?

I mean, I think I’m further along in that journey than I was when I started the special. I started it in 2019, but a bunch of the material is much older than that. And then obviously with the lockdown, I then got married and had a baby, and I’ve taken on obviously more adult responsibilities. Theoretically, we become adults at 21 or 18, but I think most of us spend a lifetime actually trying to figure out how to be an adult, and I feel like I’m still very much on that journey.

Getting married and having a kid, these things are starting to play into your material. Is that something that you welcome? Are you looking forward to exploring that more?

It’s weird when you’re doing standup, so much of it is about your life. But your partner, your child, they’re not up on stage with you, and the child truly has made no choices about being involved in your material. So it’s something that I’m going to have to figure out going forward. I think it’s an ongoing conversation with my family about how and what I share, and what the material becomes.

Have you been on the road since your son was born? Are you starting to make decisions about your career based on having a kid?

I haven’t really been on the road much. A few weekends here and there. And I’m not sure, it does really change. Having a family really changes every decision you make professionally because you have other people to consider and take into account. And so I have to now figure out what that means. Definitely, conversations that have to have happened when I was a younger single man, I didn’t have to have those conversations. I could just take jobs or not. But the joy and benefit of that, of having a family so outweighs those conversations.

In terms of Big Mouth, do you have it planned out how far you want to take this? Are you thinking past adolescence at any point with this? I know you popped up in an episode last season, is that something you want to do again?

I don’t know if I’ll come back. That was a great idea from my partners. I would never pitch that, to be like, “Hey, you know what would be awesome? If a live-action me was on the show.” But my partners, Mark and Jen and Andrew and I, and our writers, I think we have we have innumerable stories to tell because puberty and sexual development and just being a teen have provided so much material. But ultimately it’s up to Netflix how many stories we tell, how many episodes and how many seasons we do.

How old is your kid going to have to be before you let him see Big Mouth?

Andrew Goldberg’s kids are older than mine. His take, which I think is a smart one and it’s what I tell basically any parents who are like, “When is it okay for my kids to watch?” I say what Andrew said, I repeat which is, when kids are the age of the kids on the show, then I think that’s when I would let my kid watch, I think because kids are going through all that stuff. It would be false to say that the kids who are the age of the kids on the show don’t know how to get access to a lot of content on the internet that is much less responsibly thought about than what we’re putting out, is what I will say.

Do you look at peers and judge yourself versus what they’re doing, are you competitive? Do you look at up-and-coming comics and does that light a fire under you, or is it all just self-contained as far as what’s driving you toward your goals?

I mean, it’s a combo. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t sort of keeping tabs on my peers. I mean, slightly competitive, but also inspired by and excited to see what other people are doing, and try to figure out what my version of something is. That said, I also barely watch standup. It’s not fun for me to watch standup. I love comedy, but it’s not relaxing, because all I’m doing is watching like, “Oh, that’s how they did this, the special starts here or the camera work here.” And I also sometimes don’t want to see what other people are doing so that it doesn’t affect what I do.

One thing that’s been announced that I’m personally really excited about is the project with Mel Brooks and History Of The World, which is my favorite Mel Brooks movie. I’m curious what your three favorite Mel Brooks movies are.

Let’s see. I mean, History Of The World was huge for me growing up. Massive. The Producers was my favorite movie for much of my life. Blazing Saddles, is massively important to me, as was, later in life, Young Frankenstein. Those are four movies I would say are in my top 10 movies. The idea that I’m working with Mel Brooks, and specifically working on History Of The World: Part II is something that I barely can fathom as a reality.

Do we get Jews In Space, is that happening?

You’re going to have to tune in to see.

Oh don’t worry, I’ll be tuning in. What’s your favorite part of the film though?

I mean, The Inquisition is unstoppable musical comedy. The jokes, the visuals, it’s so unstoppable. I have so many favorites, but I would say The Inquisition really hits me. And unemployment spelled with a V, Bea Arthur as the unemployment officer.

“You’re a bullshit artist,” yeah.

“Did you bullshit today?”

Have you gotten to the stage yet where you’re kind of batting it around with him? Do you give him feedback? What’s it like to give Mel Brooks a note?

He’s narrating the show, and so I’ve been sort of filling him in about what we need and stuff like that, and it’s crazy to try to give direction to Mel Brooks. But to his credit, first off he’s still so funny it’s crazy. And two, he has been very nicely open to hearing an idea or a suggestion, which is beyond wild.

I think he’s taken direction before. From Sid Ceasar. Same thing right?

Sure. I think that was his last and only boss.

‘Big Moth’ and ‘Little Big Boy’ are both streaming on Netflix

Charli XCX Has Developed Some ‘Quite Confusing Feelings’ About Her Breakout Hit

Charli XCX is one of the most compelling pop stars right now, and she doesn’t take that responsibility lightly. Since her 2014 sophomore album Sucker really put her on the map, she’s only gotten bigger, especially with this year’s Crash. In a new interview with NME, she reminisced on her earlier years, specifically when her song “I Love It” went massive.

“I have a lot of quite confusing feelings about it. In part I was like, just straight-up jealous,” she said about the 2012 collaboration with Icona Pop. “I was jealous, and a little bit regretful. That song is kind of like when you go through a break-up and your ex gets a new partner before you or whatever, and you see it on the internet. You’re constantly reminded of it.”

In that same interview, she also talked about her relationship with celebrity: “To be famous – a stratospheric level of famous – you have to f*cking want that sh*t to happen to you, and you have to do the deal with the devil. You have to f*cking go there and run people over. I’m not saying it’s a negative thing: it’s not, but I think with Crash, I definitely wanted to play that game.”

Charli XCX is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Russell Westbrook Is ‘Expected’ To Come Off The Bench Friday Against The Timberwolves

According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Los Angeles Lakers guard Russell Westbrook will come off the bench Friday when they take on the Minnesota Timberwolves, with the intention for him to provide a playmaking presence in second units.

Due to a hamstring injury, Westbrook sat out the Lakers’ 110-99 loss to the Denver Nuggets. Through three games, the former MVP is averaging 10.3 points (36.6 percent true shooting), 6.7 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and two steals. He’s struggled mightily to score the ball effectively, even in a smaller role.

Friday will mark the first time since Nov. 28, 2008, Westbrook’s rookie year, that he’s coming off the bench. It’ll be just the 18th time in his career. He started the first three games this season for Los Angeles, as well as all 78 he played in 2021-22.

Aside from Lonnie Walker (15.3 points per game), the 0-4 Lakers haven’t received much offensive pop from their stable of guards thus far. Westbrook, Kendrick Nunn, Patrick Beverley, and Austin Reaves are averaging a combined 25.6 points and 9.9 assists per game. At the very least, this shift is an experiment to try and see if it’s the requisite move to help improve their collective guard play. We’ll get a better sense of its early returns when Los Angeles and Minnesota tip off inside Target Center at 8 p.m. EST Friday.

Donald Trump, Being Donald Trump, Accused The ‘Mean’ Judge Overseeing A Lawsuit Against His Family Of Being A ‘Communist’

Donald Trump has a fairly limited vocabulary, especially when it comes to a person, place, or thing he does not like. And he doesn’t seem to have much love for Arthur Engoron, the New York Supreme Court judge who has been tasked with overseeing the $250 million fraud case brought against Trump by New York attorney general Letitia James for illegally obtaining millions of dollars by falsifying documents in order to inflate his net worth.

As Raw Story reports, Trump has been desperate to get Engoron booted from his case, presumably because he has repeatedly ruled against the former president’s ridiculous demands and even held him in contempt. But all the back-channeling in the world isn’t helping Donald, who was told on October 19 that Engoron will decide his case, which left the former president with just one option: post childish insults on his own TRUTH Social.

On Friday morning, Trump took to his failing social media platform to kvetch:

The only person who may be worse than weak on violent crime A.G. Letitia “Peekaboo” James, is the Judge we have on her ridiculous & highly partisan case against me & my family. His name is Arthur Engoron, & he is a vicious, biased, and mean “rubber stamp” for the Communist takeover of the great & prosperous American company that I have built over a long period of years. He was appointed by my worst enemies. Case was to go to a new Judge, but he demands to keep it. I have no jury or Civil Rights!

In a separate, but semi-related, matter, the Trump Organization is also facing down a separate, $1.5 million lawsuit, with authorities charging that the company — which is headed up by Don Jr. and Eric — hid the compensation it paid to several top executives between 2005 and 2021. While Trump Sr. wasn’t named in that suit, he did make time to describe it as a “witch hunt,” his go-to phrase for any investigation into his wrongdoings.

Allen Weisselberg, the Trump Organization’s longtime CFO, was one of the executives named in the suit. The 75-year-old pleaded guilty to 15 counts of tax fraud and will most likely testify against his former colleagues.

‘Weird Al’ Is ‘Begging’ For ‘Weird: The Al Yankovic Story’ To Be Released In Theaters So It Can Be Eligible For An Oscar

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences bylines state that for a movie to be eligible for an Oscar, it must play in a “commercial motion picture theater” in one of six major cities. Weird: The Al Yankovic Story is unfortunately is not Oscar-qualified, as it’s going straight to The Roku Channel, but “Weird Al” Yankovic is pleading like he’s Lucy asking Ricky to bring her to the Tropicana for the streaming service to reconsider.

“I’ve been begging, begging, the Roku Channel for months to make it eligible, which all that would involve is letting it play in a theater in L.A. for one week. They do not want do that because — here’s the logic; I don’t quite agree with it — they said that they would rather have a Creative Arts Emmy than an Oscar, because they’re in the TV business, not the music movie business,” he told Yahoo! Entertainment. “Believe me, I’ve tried, but they’ve put their foot down, so it’s not actually going be Oscar-eligible.”

I don’t know who’s running the show over at the Roku Channel — John or Jane Roku, I assume – but I have a bone to pick with you: let “Weird Al” get his Best Original Song nomination. He doesn’t even have to win, although that would be nice, but nothing would shake up the post-Slap stuffiness of the Academy Awards more than “Weird Al” coming out with an accordion, a colorful shirt, and playing his Oscar-nominated song from Weird, “Now You Know.” Or maybe a medley of “Now You Know” and “Dare to Be Stupid.”

Because an Oscars without “Weird Al” Yankovic sounds pretty stupid.

Weird: The Al Yankovic Story hits the Roku Channel on November 4.

Happy Halloweed! The Best Strong And Tasty Weed Strains For A Lit Halloween Weekend

We’ve made it to Halloween weekend, and that means costume parties, stealing candy from your friend’s house that is intended for children (possibly theirs), and waking up hungover on Monday morning, only to dodge calls from your friends when they realize you ate all the Starbursts from the variety pack and now their kids are crying. It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

As we hit the weekend you’re probably going to want to be geared up with all the best vices, rolling up to the party with great whiskey, good beer, and of course, some delicious high potency herb. Some sticky stinky herb is going to make you everyone’s favorite party favor and ensure that all the candy you steal will be well worth the crime.

To that end, we’re shouting out our favorite high-potency strains of the moment. In keeping with the spirit of the holiday, we’re not just shouting out high-THC strains, we’ll also be focusing on strains that pack a lot of sweet aroma and flavor. From sweet and milky to tropical and fruity, here are the strong and tasty cannabis strains for a lit Halloween weekend.

Houseplant — Pancake Ice

Halloween Weed
Houseplant

Price: $60

THC: 33%

Tasting Notes:

Seth Rogen’s Houseplant consistently produces some of the best-tasting and prettiest strains out of California. But what really gets us are the names. “Pancake Ice” just sounds f*cking incredible! Sure, it doesn’t make any sense when you break it down, like what the hell is pancake ice? Cold pancakes? The freezer burn that comes off of a frozen microwaveable pancake? Who knows, and in fact, this strain tastes nothing like pancakes, but that isn’t to say it doesn’t taste great.

Pancake Ice is sweet and citrusy on the nose with an herbal clove flavor that finishes with some earthy spice. It’s a sativa-dominant hybrid that provides a subtle body buzz and a heavily euphoric high that lives mostly in the head.

The Bottom Line:

Sweet and spicy with a strong cerebral high.

CBX — Thicc Mint Cookies

Halloween Weed
CBX/Uproxx

Price: $50

THC: 28%-32%

Tasting Notes:

Thicc Mint Cookies is California cannabis brand Cannabiotix’s spin on the legendary Girl Scout Cookies strain. It’s a Cannabis Cup award-winning hybrid flower that sports beautiful crystal-covered dark green and purple buds. It is every bit as sweet as its name implies, with strong minty notes on the nose and a sweet herbal flavor with a cool and refreshing finish.

This is definitely the sort of strain you’re going to want to smoke out of a low-temperature setting vaporizer or a bong so you can really enjoy the flavors. Thanks to the dominant terpenes of caryophyllene, limonene, and myrcene, Thicc Mint provides a strong relaxing body high that’ll melt stress upon the first hit.

The Bottom Line:

An herbal, minty, and refreshing blend of flavors that provide a feel-good high that’ll make you more social and less introverted.

WonderBrett — Blueberry Purp

Blueberry Purp
Wonderbrett

Price: $63

THC: 24%

Tasting Notes:

If you love the berry-forward flavors of Blue Dream but want a strain that’s geared more towards end-of-the-night relaxation, look no further than Wonderbrett’s Blueberry Purp. This strain is a cross between Grand Daddy Purple, OZ Kush Cookies & Cream, and Wonderbrett’s own Beyond Blueberry v1 and features a fragrant floral scent with an almost suspiciously sweet flavor with notes of lavender and a grape juice-esque finish. Weed shouldn’t taste this good.

The dominant terpenes in this strain include limonene, caryophyllene, myrcene, and linalool providing a powerfully relaxing high that will knock you on your ass, so don’t attempt to smoke this strain before the party, unless you want to sleep through the whole thing.

The Bottom Line:

Intensely sweet and powerful enough to knock you out after a couple of hits. This is the perfect nightcap for after-party chilling.

22Red — Angry Apple 2.2

Halloween Weed
22Red

Price: $55

THC: 26%

Tasting Notes:

System of a Down’s Shavo Odadjian knows his weed. Each strain out of his 22Red brand is potent and flavorful, with beautiful dense buds caked in shimmering trichomes. Best of all, it’s top-shelf quality weed at a much more affordable price.

Right now we can’t get enough of the Indica-dominant hybrid strain Angry Apple 2.2. The smell of this strain is just incredible, it’s so sweet and tangy that even a sniff out of the jar is strong enough for you to taste.

It’s sweet and tart on the nose but takes on a rich and creamy flavor once burned that provides a strong heavy body high that transitions to the head within the first hour, leaving you with a giddy sense of joy. If the Halloween party is giving you a lot of stress, take some time to yourself, light up a bowl, and soon enough you’ll be relaxed and chill without feeling weighed down and sluggish.

The Bottom Line:

The smell is so sweet and intoxicating that even your weed-smell-hating friends won’t be able to deny its deliciousness.

A Golden State — Garlic Blossom

Halloween Weed
A Golden State

Price: $55

THC: 36%

Tasting Notes:

Sometimes there just isn’t enough time or the right opportunity to get a smoke session in, so if you’re looking for a strain that’ll get you blitzed after just one hit, A Golden State’s Garlic Blossom is for you.

Garlic Blossom admittedly sounds less like something you’d want to smoke and more like an appetizer from an Outback Steakhouse but don’t let its stinky name fool you. This strain tastes incredible. It has a strong citrus-forward flavor that is lemony sweet and tart with an earthy finish that mixes together a bit of pepper and almond.

Although it has an incredibly high THC content, one hit is the perfect amount to produce a euphoric cerebral high that’ll last throughout the night, whether you’re a heavy user or a lightweight. But if you’re a lightweight, under no circumstances should you attempt to smoke an entire bowl unless you’re planning on being so high that you won’t remember the party.

The Bottom Line:

An incredibly strong cerebral high with a tart lemon-forward flavor.

Insane — Julia

Halloween Weed
Insane/Uproxx

Price: $50

THC: 29%

Tasting Notes:

A cross between Orange Cookies, Gelato 33, and Kush Mints, Insane’s Julia strain comes from a ridiculously strong genetic family of herb that produces plump and sticky buds that provide a stunningly potent high.

This hybrid strain has a nice balance of sweet cookie notes and orange citrus zest that burns sweet and tastes even sweeter. After a few hits of this stuff I felt dumb and weighed down, not in a couch-look way, but it gave me the sort of high that made following through on thoughts difficult.

That doesn’t sound like great party material, but if you’re bored by your surroundings this is a quick and easy vacation with a nice body buzz to go along with its mind-numbing qualities.

The Bottom Line:

It’s the sort of strain that supports the absent-minded stoner stereotype. Which is… sometimes what you want.

‘I Can’t Grow Up,’ Tegan And Sara Declare In A Youthful ‘Tonight Show’ Performance

Letting go is hard, but Tegan And Sara make it look so easy! The indie pop duo stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to let their inner child out with a performance of the recent single “I Can’t Grow Up.” The single — released late last month to rollout their tenth studio album, Crybaby — is flooded with equal parts synths and raw emotion.

Pulling in their TV production experience, the set is strategically filled with flashing fluorescent lights perfectly timed with the track’s instrumentation. Standing behind their re-imagined album cover art, Tegan And Sara, along with their band, do what they do best, rock out.

Despite having a career spanning over a decade, the Canadian siblings still manage to keep their musical perspectives fresh. That’s partly out of necessity, as the genre’s turnover rate continues to increase due in part to social media platforms like TikTok. But, their evergreen approach can primarily be credited to their superlative songwriting abilities.

When discussing the album on Twitter, the group touched on this, writing, “the songs on Crybaby capture the tumultuous times of the pandemic, the professional trails, and tribulations we went through the last few years.” They added in the same post, “we went to the edge and we made it back with Crybaby.”

If Tegan And Sara’s music is the new poster child for the foundation of youth, we want in.

Watch their full performance above.

Crybaby is out now via Mom + Pop. Order it here.

Piers Morgan Is Getting Called Out For Hypocrisy And Being A ‘Whining Child’ After He Complained About Prince Harry’s ‘Whining’

Piers Morgan has made his disapproval clear over Prince Harry’s upcoming memoir. This week, he also couldn’t resist dragging the book’s title, Spare, which is certainly a reference to how William and Harry are referred to as “the heir and the spare,” respectively. Piers also expressed suspicion that the memoir’s release date, January 10, was timed to steal thunder from King Charles III’s coronation in May 2023. That seems like adequate enough spacing between events, honestly? Yet Piers is passionate on the subject as a staunch supporter of the Royal Fam, and he’s been upset about “Harry’s silence” over The Crown with pointed mention that Netflix is also Harry’s “employer,” given the multi-project deal forged by Netflix and the Sussexes.

As well, Piers has been known to complain about Harry’s wife, Meghan Markle. The former Good Morning Britain co-host famously stormed off a set and then thanked his haters after he continued to rail against Meghan when she alleged to Oprah Winfrey that she endured racist remarks from the royals. Of course, Piers’ irritation with Harry and Meghan might have something to do with his revelation that she “ghosted” him after one date, so there’s that to consider.

This week, Piers publicly called Harry a “d*ckhead,” and he’s been doubling down with an accusation that Harry’s book cover was “copied,” and Harry “didn’t just hire same ghost-writer who did Andre Agassi’s book.” Piers added, “[O]ne had a world class talent for sport, the other a world class talent for whining.”

And here comes Piers tweeting a Daily Mail cover with a headline about the Royals “dreading” the arrival of Harry’s “raw and unflinching” book. Piers also alludes to Meghan Markle while suggesting that Harry was “[u]rged on by your wife who has already disowned her own family?” And he suggested that Harry’s a hypocrite by engaging in “humanitarian” efforts.

It’s messy, and when Piers rants like this, people tend to tweet, “All this just because she wouldn’t shag you.” With this latest outburst, people are suggesting that Piers sounds like a “[w]hining child,” and it’s a bit ironic.

One user also wondered why Piers has “chosen not to reinstate your birth name O’Meara and continued to use you adopted name ?” The user also suggests that “[s]ome might say that you are trying to disassociate yourself from your Irish roots and others might judge you as choosing to throw you late father’s legacy under the bus.”

Spare arrives in bookstores (and online) on January 10, 2023.
