Learning how to make your own potato chips sounds like a daunting task. It’s not, but that’s part of the appeal. Everyone thinks it takes tremendous effort. First, there’s the matter of slicing potatoes paper-thin without losing a finger. Then there’s the whole frying-in-boiling-oil aspect. Make these from scratch without sustaining significant injuries and you’re a legend.
With a whole new wave of lockdowns starting, now is as good a time as any to master making chips. The only specialty kitchen tool you need is a mandolin, which you can get easily for around $20. Besides that, you need a heavy-bottomed pot or wok to fry in, or a deep fryer, if you have one. The rest is pretty low-impact, albeit a little time-consuming.
In the scheme of “foods you can make at home which are insanely cheap to just go out and buy,” chips are actually way easier than making your own fries. And the rewards are equally high — especially when you create distinct flavors via spices. Follow our recipe once and you’ll have this snack in your permanent repertoire to trot out any time you want to impress folks.
I’m using Queen Anne’s because that’s what I have in the kitchen at the moment. You can also use Yukon Golds. You want a potato that’s both not too starchy and not too waxy. That being said, if you want to experiment, have at it!
Method:
Zach Johnston
The first step is to wash your potatoes. I washed three but I ended up using only two.
Next, I added the cold water and vinegar to a large bowl. The vinegar is a key ingredient at this step. It helps to draw the starches out which then helps the chip get nice and crispy when it fries.
If you want to make salt and vinegar chips, use a 1:1 ratio of water to vinegar. Then you’ll just need to add salt once the chips are cooked.
I like to halve my potatoes. It just makes for easier slicing on the mandolin. They’re easier to handle and generally come out a little more even the whole way through.
I place my mandolin on its thinnest setting, balance it over the bowl, and start slicing. It takes less than a minute to slice through two potatoes.
Zach Johnston
I then place the bowl in the fridge for about 2-ish hours. I’ve let them rest for an hour before and they were fine. Some recipes say they should rest overnight but I’ve never had the patience for that.
After about two hours, I fetch the bowl from the fridge. I set up a kitchen towel-lined baking tray and layer the raw chips as close to a single layer as possible. I then use another towel to press down on the wet chips to draw out as much of the water as I can. You can do all of this with paper towels, by the way. You don’t have to get all the water out, just as much as you can without mushing the raw chips.

Step 2: Fry The Potato Chips
Zach Johnston
Ingredients:
1.5 liters/50-oz. Neutral Oil
Salt
Method:
Zach Johnston
I get my wok on the flame and pour in the bottle of oil. I’m using sunflower oil but you can use peanut or canola, too.
Once the oil has reached 350f/175c, we’re ready to fry.
I gently drop the raw chips into the oil using the skimmer spoon about 15 to 20 at a time. You want to make a full layer but avoid complete overlap.
I use the skimmer to keep the potato chips moving around the oil. Industrial potato chip friers use metal paddles for this. The point is to keep them moving so they don’t stick or burn. There’s a very narrow window from them being done to crisp to burnt, so you need to stay focused.
The sweet spot for removing the chips from the oil is then the edges just start to brown. Remove the chips to a wire rack for cooling and oil leeching. Hit them with salt immediately. If you want, you can go wild here with flavor. Our editor uses a mix of mustard powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Paprika always works well, too.
Once seasoned, the chips will continue to brown on the rack until they’re golden. I end up making three batches — taking around 15 minutes in total.
Step 3: Serve
Zach Johnston
Once cooled, I transferred the chips to a basket for munching. Truth be told, I was snacking on these chips the whole time I was frying them too. They were freaking delicious. Imagine a chip that’s thinner than a Kettle Chip but with more heft than your average industrial Lay’s.
It’s just the right amount of chip and it nails that perfect balance of crunch and salt. Full disclosure, I ate the whole basket for my lunch. I regret nothing.
There’s a reason you find yourself returning to old shows you’ve rewatched half-a-dozen times already. It’s 2020, we’re living in what we can only assume is Hades’ personal playground. We need to feel something good, and familiar favorites guarantee that sense of comfort, connection, and home. So instead of questioning why you’re on your ninth viewing of the Emmy award-winning comedy Schitt’s Creek, just enjoy the ride, and maybe mark down some of these episodes in case you need that quick hit of serotonin before getting on the phone with your pandemic-denying uncle.
Here are the best, feel-good episodes of Schitt’s Creek.
15. “Friends & Family” (Season 3, Episode 12)
Pop TV
The Story: David and Patrick prepare for opening day at Rose Apothecary but David’s plans of a “soft launch” are quickly derailed. Meanwhile, Moira has a surprise gift for the family, and Alexis and Ted accidentally smooch at the office.
Why It’s On This List: This episode marked a turning point for the family and it came in the form of a behemoth painting that refused to shrouded by the motel’s pocket-sized bedspreads. The portrait solidified what most of the Roses already knew — their old life was over — but instead of mourning that fact, they welcomed it with soft launches and educational accomplishments. Sure, Moira expected the opening day of Rose Apothecary to be “a modest little vigil” offering “defeatist” discounts, and the large ground this VIP event grew was not Gwyneth Paltrow-approved, but to see the family come together for David’s big day was heartwarming (even if that kiss between Alexis and Ted made sampling small-batch colognes extremely awkward).
14. “The Hospies” (Season 5, Episode 8)
Pop TV
The Story: Stevie and Johnny head to the Regional Hospitality Awards where Stevie hopes to take her relationship with motel critic Emir to the next level. Back in Schitt’s Creek, Moira helps Jocelyn hold auditions for Cabaret, and Alexis has her eye on the lead.
Why It’s On This List: There’s no way watching Alexis perform the title track off her critically-reviewed, limited reality series “A Little Bit Alexis” didn’t make you roll on the floor with the LOLs, but even putting that banger aside, this episode gave us a couple of beautifully bonding moments between Stevie and the Rose family. First, was her emotional breakdown to Johnny backstage at the Hospies after Emir ended their relationship (who wouldn’t want to be comforted post-breakup by Eugene Levy and his eyebrows?). But the sweeter therapy session came thanks to Moira, who gave Stevie the lead in Cabaret and imparted some life advice in the process — though, she did keep the wine.
13. “The Bachelor Party” (Season 6, Episode 11)
Pop TV
The Story: Stevie plans a joint bachelor party for David and Patrick that includes an escape room adventure with the entire Rose family. While Johnny anxiously waits for a business-making call, Alexis worries she’s lost her mojo.
Why It’s On This List: Sure, it would’ve been lovely to see what David’s desired “Tahitian Dolphin Cruise” entailed, what we got from this episode was marginally better. The entire Rose family, trapped in a room with archaic, treasure-hunting memorabilia forced to work together to escape. It’s the perfect environment for everyone to work out their respective issues — which they mostly do — and, bonus, it’s also a great excuse for Moira to loquaciously loose her sh*t and Alexis to harness her globe-trotting, woman of mystery past.
12. “Bob’s Bagels” (Season 2, Episode 5)
Pop TV
The Story: Alexis is sick with a cold, and Moira must tap into her maternal side to take care of her while Johnny tries to dissuade Bob and Roland from launching a bagel shop.
Why It’s On This List: If everyone followed the Moira Rose-version of quarantining, this pandemic would’ve been over a while ago. As it stands though, there’s nothing funnier than watching the Rose family matriarch recounting that time their maid started frothing at the mouth in a water taxi while she locks the group in a separate hotel room and whispers that she’s sorry. But Moira comes around and subsequently shares a moment with her daughter that’s heartbreakingly sweet, despite how uncomfortable Moira seems with her realization that she does, in fact, have motherly instincts.
11. “The Incident” (Season 6, Episode 2)
Pop TV
The Story: An embarrassing habit from David’s past returns thanks to the stress of wedding planning, and Moira’s newfound love of social media only makes it worse.
Why It’s On This List: As stressful as David’s “nighttime oopsie-daisies” are for him, they’re great comedy fodder for this episode as a whole. Not only is “adult bed wetting” a story we just haven’t seen TV yet, but how Moira responds to it — with motherly concern, an accidental live stream, and a hurried cover-up — take some of dread and shame out of it. It’s really good storytelling that uses humor to make something seem less scary.
10. “The Hike” (Season 5, Episode 13)
Pop TV
The Story: Patrick plans a romantic hike with David that doesn’t go as smoothly as planned while Johnny finds himself in the hospital after his chest pains cause Moira, Roland, and Stevie to panic.
Why It’s On This List: Yes, this episode did end with a swoon-worthy proposal from Patrick, but the more intimate moment came when David, who complained about the outing from the time he realized they wouldn’t be touring English rose gardens, like Notting Hill. After Patrick injures his foot, David nurses him back to health, encouraging him to keep going and thanking him for planning their special day. And romantic confessions under duress becomes a theme of the episode after Johnny starts having chest pains, prompting Moira to shout her devotion in the E.R. waiting room and Stevie to have an emotional breakdown over the thought of losing her business partner. Nothing like some heartburn and a rogue stick to make you realize what you have, right?
9. “Open Mic” (Season 4, Episode 6)
Pop TV
The Story: Moira is forced to keep a secret while Patrick and David scheme ways to bring more business to Rose Apothecary.
Why It’s On This List: Watching Moira wrestle with being “encumbered by emotional cargo” over her discovery of Roland and Jocelyn’s big baby news might mark the more humorous moments of the episode, but anyone with a heart melted when Patrick broke out that guitar during the store’s open mic night and crooned an acoustic version of a Tina Turner banger to his true love, David.
8. “Surprise Party” (Season 1, Episode 12)
Pop TV
The Story: Johnny enlists David, Alexis, and Roland’s help in planning a surprise birthday party for Moira.
Why It’s On This List: The build-up to the bash featured some of the shows most iconic jokes — watching Moira trying to stage a coup against Jocelyn when she believed the mayor’s wife was failing in her duty to help those kids with “troubled mouths” being one — but the event itself and how the entire town came together to give Moira a special memory felt like the kind of thoughtful storytelling Schitt’s Creek would become known for. There was heart behind the humor, and we saw that in this episode.
7. “Finding David” (Season 2, Episode 1)
Pop TV
The Story: David (and his bag) go missing so the Rose family bands together to bring him back home.
Why It’s On This List: We’re still not sure if Moira’s hysterical outburst over the news that David had stolen Roland’s truck and fled the motel was a motherly concern for her son or the fear that her mother’s crocodile bag might never be returned, but it was still nice to see the group come together to rescue David from that Amish life.
6. “Grad Night” (Season 3, Episode 13)
Pop TV
The Story: Alexis readies for her graduation night while David plans to celebrate his birthday alone and Moira tries to score a solo.
Why It’s On This List: When the episode begins it seems like the Roses will veer off in completely different directions. David wants to celebrate his birthday — a date both of his parents have forgotten about — by himself; Alexis doesn’t want anyone to see her walk across a stage in an unflattering black robe; Johnny has to man the desk at the full-to-capacity motel, and Moira plans to steal the spotlight during a planned Jazzagals concert. But by the end of the half-hour, David and Patrick have had their first kiss and admitted their feelings for each other while Moira has made a moving gesture for her only daughter, on a night that marks a turning point in Alexis’ storyline.
5. “The Olive Branch” (Season 4, Episode 9)
Pop TV
The Story: David is still a needy mess after putting his relationship with Patrick on hold while Alexis and Moira clash over their separate applications for a town grant.
Why It’s On This List: There are a lot of small moments in this episode that tug on the heartstrings — Johnny’s failed gift to Stevie, Alexis’ pitch to Moira — but the crowning achievement has to be David’s romantic gesture to mend his relationship with Patrick. We won’t pick favorites (any Tina Turner rendition is a worthy musical moment), but there’s something beautiful about watching David, someone who’s so conscious of how he comes off to other, sacrifice his pride to show the man he loves just how committed he is to their relationship.
4. “Singles Week” (Season 4, Episode 12)
Pop TV
The Story: Patrick makes a big declaration to David after being inspired by Alexis’ “singles week” festivities.
Why It’s On This List: The arrival of baby Schitt, Moira’s time as a stressed-out doula, and Patrick’s love confession are highlights of this episode but the romantic relationship that takes the spotlight here is Ted and Alexis. The two had been dancing around each other all season, but to see Alexis finally own up to her feelings for the goofy vet was a defining moment in terms of her character growth. And no one, not even John Hughes, could’ve scripted that kiss at the cafe better.
3. “Happy Anniversary” (Season 2, Episode 13)
Pop TV
The Story: Johnny and Moira celebrate their anniversary with an awkward dinner date while Alexis mulls over attending a party she wasn’t invited to.
Why It’s On This List:Schitt’s Creek loved to end their seasons with some kind of celebratory event that brought everyone together, so of course, the party at Mutt’s barn made for a feel-good moment, but it’s what happened before — when Johnny and Moira defended Roland, Jocelyn, and the town to their elitist friends — that earned a supportive fist-pump from most fans.
2. “Meet The Parents” (Season 5, Episode 11)
Pop TV
The Story: David plans a surprise party for Patrick but learns some distressing news after inviting his parents from out-of-town.
Why It’s On This List: Schitt’s Creek raised the bar for how LGBTQ relationships were presented on screen and it’s the episode that cemented the show’s status as a model for gay romance done right. There was conflict — Patrick hadn’t come out to his parents yet and David’s party forced that confrontation — but instead of dwelling on the dark, heavy implications of Patrick’s fear and uncertainty, the show reaffirmed his relationship with David and gave everyone who’s dealt with that same “coming out moment” a relatable, heartwarming experience.
1. “Happy Ending” (Season 6, Episode 14)
Pop TV
The Story: David and Patrick get married as the Rose family bid farewell to Schitt’s Creek.
Why It’s On This List: Okay yes, there are plenty of heartbreaking moments in this episode. Goodbyes are never easy and even when they’re written as exceptionally as this finale was, they still suck. But the show managed to balance those sadder moments with truly joyous ones, like when the family worked together to give David his dream wedding despite terrible circumstances or when Moira broke down at the altar while dressed in full pope-couture. Even more importantly, the show gave each character a believable, earned, and hopeful ending, setting them off on new adventures but reminding us all that Schitt’s Creek would forever be their home — and ours.
On Saturday night Mike Tyson fought Roy Jones Jr., but their big bout was almost upstaged by the preliminary “undercard” fight, which found Slam Dunk champion Nate Robinson taking on YouTuber Jake Paul. Those who assumed a guy mostly known for controversial social media posts wouldn’t stand a chance were wrong: Paul wound up triumphant over Robinson, scoring a first-round knockout. The fight produced an onslaught of memes and jokes, with people making fun of the former Knicks guard for losing the matchup so quickly. Despite this, musician Rick Ross opted to show Robinson some love.
“We still f*ck with you Nate,” the Maybach Music rapper said in a video he shared to his Instagram story. “Everything good, n***a. We know you play basketball, n***a, you ain’t bought. Somebody tricked you into getting that check, we still f*ck with you.” The next day, Ross continued to support Robinson, writing, “But this what I want you to do, Nate,” he said. “I want you to still go get you a 50-piece WingStop and find a way to enjoy the day. All the memes going on. Everybody face down, ass up. I get it, I get it. But Nate, you went in there and got you a check, just look at the positive.”
It’s been three months almost to the day since Chadwick Boseman passed away, and Sunday, November the 29th would have been his 44th birthday. Marvel went all out, even changing the opening Marvel logo on Black Panther, the only solo he got to make, into an all-T’Challa affair. But they weren’t the only ones. Family and friends, including many colleagues from Marvel and elsewhere, honored the late thespian by filling social media with remembrances on what would have been a big day.
Kevin Boseman, Chadwick’s brother, didn’t refer to him by name, but it was clear what his post — an image of white flowers, with the caption “Today is a good day to give someone their flowers” — was referring to.
Fellow Black Panther cast member Lupita Nyong’o paid tribute.
Viola Davis, who can soon be soon alongside him in the August Wilson adaptation Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, wrote, “Happy birthday in Heaven, Chadwick! You are still so alive to me!! I love you.”
Other people in the entertainment industry wished the late actor well, too.
Things have been rather quiet for Tekashi 69 since the release of his album Tattle Tales, which arrived back in September. The project failed to meet the rapper’s lofty expectations, peaking at only No. 4 on the Billboard charts. Nearly three months later, the rapper lands in the headlines once again, but not because of his music. It’s because a video shows him taunting boxer Gervonta Davis at a club in Miami recently.
Tekashi was at the nightclub along with his girlfriend and a small entourage. At some point, he and Gervonta run into each other and the encounter produces quite the awkward moment. A bit later, Tekashi can be seen throwing money at the boxer in what looks like an attempt to taunt him. Another clip shows him yelling at Gervonta, but the loud music drown out his words. But no fight ever breaks out and they eventually go their separate ways.
Gervonta seemed to respond to the situation shortly after in a pair of Instagram posts. The first one seemed to call the rapper “Snitchk” and the second post read, “You get hit for just being around a mf… but who am I!”
The incident occurred less than two weeks after Hulu premiered a surprise documentary on Tekashi 69 entitled, 69: The Saga Of Danny Hernandez.
It’s been two years to the day when Netflix cancelled Daredevil, their beloved TV version of Marvel’s vision-impaired superhero, thanks to a rights kerfuffle that also wiped out Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and more. The deal was that Marvel Studios, which had more or less relocated to their parent company’s streamer, Disney+, would not be able to launch any movie or TV content involving the character for two years. Well, those two years have elapsed, and the show’s legions of fans were quick to demand a reboot.
Marvel decided to make one of the best TV shows ever, with themes of faith, murder, and morality. Filled with Emmy worthy performances, beautiful cinematography, and just kick ass stuntwork. It deserves another shot. #SaveDaredevil@Kevfeigepic.twitter.com/kyDZMOTnVE
On Sunday, Daredevil advocates took to Twitter, launching a hashtag, #SaveDaredevil, meant to inspire the comics giant to bring it back. “Marvel decided to make one of the best TV shows ever, with themes of faith, murder, and morality,” wrote one supporter. “Filled with Emmy worthy performances, beautiful cinematography, and just kick ass stuntwork. It deserves another shot.”
The post and the hashtag went viral, and though people are pushing for a return of the original cast and crew, it’s not clear if that’s possible two years later. After all, while a fan’s love may be eternal, actors and crew members have bills to pay, and they may not be available to return. The show, which ran for three seasons from 2015 to 2018, starred Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock, a blind lawyer who moonlight as a masked vigilante who can use his heightened senses to take on crime. The character was previously turned into a big budget movie back in 2003, starring Ben Affleck as Murdock.
Every great quarterback has a great wide receiver to compliment them. Montana and Rice. Brady and Moss. Now there’s Patrick Mahomes and Tyreek Hill. The Chiefs duo have become the most dangerous combination in the NFL, with Mahomes dropping insane deep balls perfectly into Hill’s arms while he speeds away for highlight touchdowns. When these two get clicking, they’re pretty unstoppable.
On Sunday, in the Chiefs matchup against the Bucs we saw this combo on display when Tyreek Hill had not one, but two long touchdown catches, as he tore the Bucs defense to shreds. He even topped the second touchdown off with a backflip into the endzone.
It’s almost mesmerizing to watch this happen to NFL defenses. Hill’s speed allows him to escape even the NFL’s fastest corners and with Mahomes arm he can place it perfectly in Hill’s arms so he doesn’t have to break stride. This performance against Tampa led to 200 yards for Hill in the first quarter alone. That stat sounds insane right? Well, it also puts him in territory for history. 336 yards is the NFL record set by Flipper Anderson in 1989.
Getting nearly 350 receiving yards sounds impossible, but with Mahomes tossing up the ball to someone as speedy as Hill it certainly feels like something that he can accomplish. The thing that might come between Hill and history isn’t the ability, but instead the Chiefs getting too large of a lead and pedaling off.
Nate Robinson made his boxing debut on Saturday night in the final undercard bout on the Mike Tyson-Roy Jones Jr. exhibition pay-per-view. Robinson was going up against YouTuber Jake Paul, who has previously won a similar exhibition boxing fight in 2019 and, as such, had a significant experience advantage — along with a size edge on Robinson.
The fight played out as one might expect for such a differential in experience, as Robinson looked uncomfortable in the ring and was unable to land anything of substance, while Paul peppered the former dunk contest champion, sending him to the canvas three times. The third knockdown was the most violent, with a right uppercut and short hook combination from Paul sending Robinson to the mat face first and out cold.
The immediate reaction from just about everyone was of concern as he lay there, but happily Robinson was able to get up and leave the ring. Once that happened the jokes began flying, including from a number of Robinson’s former colleagues in the NBA, but he also received plenty of messages, publicly and privately, offering support after his loss. On Sunday, Robinson posted to Instagram offering appreciation to fans who supported him as well as another post specifically thanking a number of NBA players who sent him messages.
It’s good to see Robinson seemingly in good spirits after the loss, which certainly was a humbling experience — but one that he’s still grateful for. It’s also nice that he received plenty of support from NBA stars, even as they had some fun at his expense as everyone did after his very brief boxing debut.
As he’s done for the past few Sundays, Tobe Nwigwe makes his return with a brand new track for his growing fan base to enjoy as a part of his “Get Twisted Sundays” series. Back with “Father Figure,” the Houston native calls on a pair quality lyricists — Black Thought and Royce Da 5’9″ — to supply a pair of verses to the track.
Tobe’s latest track finds him declaring himself as a “father figure” to some of today’s rappers and his verse is one that definitely backs up that narrative. Supplied with a new music video, the three rappers resort to an empty house to deliver the excellent bars. Black Thought sits indoors in a long yellow coat as he gets his lines off while Royce picks the diving board of a pool as the backdrop for his rhymes.
The video is just the latest piece of content that proves Tobe Nwigwe is one of the best candidates for the “up next” title in the rap world. He first gained notoriety for his NPR Tiny Desk Concert from last summer. Additional highlights from the Houston native come from his most recent release, The Pandemic Project, which he shared this past summer.
The effort spawned some of his best tracks like “I Need You To (Breonna Taylor)” and “Try Jesus” which both gained traction on Instagram after it received support from Diddy, LeBron James, and more. On a more recent note, he shared “Wildings” with EarthGang and Duckwrth and “Bozos” with Big K.R.I.T. earlier this month, both of which will on his upcoming Cincoriginals album out next month.
You can watch the “Father Figure” video above.
Cincoriginals is out on 12/13 via Tobe Nwigwe. Pre-order it here.
Anything people see online should be met with a healthy dose of speculation these days, but apparently the mysterious tale of a monolith that appeared out of nowhere just got even weirder. The three-sided reflective metal object that popped up in the Utah desert last week has apparently disappeared, and people who were already fascinated with how and why the object appeared are just as interested in where it went.
Official statement: “Although we can’t comment on active investigations, we would like to remind public land visitors that using, occupying, or developing the public lands or their resources without a required authorization is illegal, no matter what planet you are from.”
The Twitter account and its report on the monolith quickly went viral, and images of the monolith created quite a stir among art fans and those who are extremely interested in mysteries and aliens, all of which could be responsible for the structure. News of the monolith actually made the government body ask people not attempt to visit the monolith in person, instead enjoying all the images and videos of the tower that they provided to the world.
Please don’t try and visit the site as the road is not suitable for most earth-based vehicles.
But that apparently is no longer a problem, as the Bureau of Land Management said on Saturday that the structure was now missing.
“We have received credible reports that the illegally installed structure, referred to as the “monolith” has been removed by an unknown party. The BLM did not remove the structure which is considered private property…” More: https://t.co/ZXJDGzxDaDpic.twitter.com/xXHdijk496
As the New York Times reported on Sunday, a now-deleted post on Instagram saw Utah’s Department of Public Safety share news that the monolith that delighted many earlier in the week as a curiosity had disappeared and jokingly blamed aliens.
The Utah Department of Public Safety said on Monday that it had found the object while surveying for bighorn sheep.
“IT’S GONE!” the Department of Public Safety said, reacting to the news in an Instagram post. “Almost as quickly as it appeared it has now disappeared,” the department said, adding, “I can only speculate” that aliens took it back, using the emoji for extraterrestrials.
“Maybe it will stop by and visit us in Canada!!” one person commented.
The paper of record had previously speculated that the mysterious, shiny tower may be the work of artist John McCracken, a sculptor who died in 2011 but had apparently told his son that he wanted to leave behind works in remote places to be found by others. That isn’t confirmed, though, nor does it explain where the object, which according to the Times had been embedded deep into rock, went.
It was a mystery how the monolith had been installed in the first place. Lt. Nick Street, a spokesman for the Department of Public Safety, said this week that the monolith had been embedded into the rock.
“Somebody took the time to use some type of concrete-cutting tool or something to really dig down, almost in the exact shape of the object, and embed it really well,” he said. “It’s odd. There are roads close by, but to haul the materials to cut into the rock, and haul the metal, which is taller than 12 feet in sections — to do all that in that remote spot is definitely interesting.”
All that mystery, of course, has led to wild speculation online about aliens, vast art-based conspiracy theories and even just some jokes about the Utah desert.
Where did it come from Where did it go The Utah monolith, Cotton-Eyed Joe
You know in the horror movie where the big scary thing that’s about to happen is just playing in the background on the news for the first 15 minutes? That’s how I feel about the Utah desert monolith.
We may never know who put the monolith there, or even who removed it. But the Utah BLM says it didn’t do either, it just found it while checking out some sheep. Maybe they are the key to unraveling this mystery, don’t you think? What do the sheep know? What are they hiding?
