Eagerly anticipating a trip to the fun and doting grandparents’ house is something we think of children doing, but one couple’s doggo proves that visiting the “grandpawrents” is just as exciting.

In a TikTok video that’s been viewed nearly 30 million times, dog owners Skylar and Deko are nearing the end of a 20-hour drive from Phoenix to Kansas City, Missouri. Their good doggo named Nosh, sits in the backseat, looking out the front window.

Suddenly, Skylar asks Nosh if he wants to go visit Safta and Boppa, the nicknames of his grandparents, and he immediately reacts. You can practically hear him say, “Whut? Grandma and Grandpa? Are you serious?!? OMG, I’m so excited I can hardly stand it!!! When are we gonna get there?!?” only it comes out as a series of squeals and whimpers and sneezy woofs of joy.

Seriously, what did Safta and Boppa do to earn this kind of reaction to their names being spoken?

The other video got a “sensitive content warning” because of the end… but why?? 😂 #repost #dogsofttiktok #dogs #australiancattledog #blueheeler #acd #heeler #cattledog

That flop for the belly rub immediately upon seeing Grandpa? And the “I’m so excited to see you I gotta pee” moment? Too much.

“He always reacts like this to his grandparents,” Skylar told Newsweek, “whether it’s been months or only a few hours since he has seen them last.”

She said they waited until they were five minutes away to tell him, and he acted like this for the full five minutes until they arrived. It’s no wonder they waited until they were almost there to tell Nosh where they were going. Can you imagine making him wait any longer?

Skylar shared another video that demonstrates the love between Nosh and his favorite people.

Anyone else’s dog love grandma and grandpa more than anyone else? 😂❤️ #blueheeler #australiancattledog #acd #dog #heeler #cattledog

In case you’re wondering what kind of dog Nosh is, he’s an Australian Cattle Dog, also known as a Blue Heeler. (A real-life Bluey, if you will.) You can see even more videos of his excitement over going to the grandparents’ house on Skylar’s TikTok channel here.

The NFL has been cracking down on intentional grounding this season, as the league looks to prevent quarterbacks from getting out of sacks by simply tossing the ball away while getting pulled to the ground (or throwing it away to no one before getting hit).

To this point, quarterbacks have not made the adjustment to the new rule emphasis, and seemingly each game we get an intentional grounding call on someone trying to save some yards because usually it’s worth a shot even if you end up getting called for it. However, as Nick Mullens learned on Saturday in the Vikings-Bengals game, there is something much worse than a grounding call that can come your way for a late effort at just tossing the ball away.

As Mullens was getting pulled to the ground by B.J. Hill, he decided he needed to get rid of the football and, while parallel to the ground, just flicked the ball right into Hill’s facemask. The big fella then showed off his reflexes and athleticism, getting his mitts on the ball and hauling in a hilarious interception.

At first it was a question of whether it was a strip sack and if Mullens was down, but the review clearly shows that Mullens is up and throws the ball on his own accord. That, of course, proved disastrous as he tossed it right to the man sacking him, with Hill pulling off one of the most incredible interceptions of the season.

Saturday, December 16, marks the end of iHeartRadio’s annual Jingle Ball concert series. The show has made stops in Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Chicago, and Detroit. Later this evening, the final performance will take place in Fort Lauderdale at the Amerant Bank Arena. So, who’s on the closing lineup?

What Is The iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Miami Lineup?

According to iHeartRadio’s official website, the acts slated to take the stage include Marshmello, AJR, Flo Rida, Ludacris, LANY, David Kushner, Uproxx cover star Kaliii, and Paul Russell. Still, there is one special musician not listed on the landing page.

Due to professional obligations, Nicki Minaj had to bow out of her headlining appearance at iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Chicago. However, she replaced her set with her longtime friend and collaborator, Lil Wayne. She then made up for her absence at Jingle Ball Atlanta. But she’s not finished with Jingle Ball just yet.

When Nicki revealed she was pulling out of Jingle Ball Chicago, she let fans know she would double back with more than one set. “I am still performing at the Atlanta Jingle Ball on the 14th,” she wrote. “And now I’ll also be performing at the Miami Jingle Ball on the 16th.”

Later this month, ABC will air a televised special of the 2023 iHeartRadio Jingle Ball series on Thursday, December 21, at 8 p.m. ET. Find more information here.

A BBC News anchor made international news last week when she did something rather shocking: She was caught flipping the bird on live television. The clip made it to Last Week with John Oliver, and it went viral all over America. Maryam Moshiri, the anchor who performed the lewd act, apologized profusely for the incident, but now there’s full video that proves, like she said, that it was all a silly joke.

In the 13-second video, Moshiri uses her fingers to visually count down to 10, when the feed will go live to viewers. Once she gets to number two, Moshiri flips her hand around, showing a jokily rude gesture that’s popular in the UK. Finally one digit is left, and it’s the one that’s a rude gesture in the U.S. as well.

From there she smoothly slips into a more formal vibe, telling viewers, “Live from London, this is BBC News.” The show’s director simply cut to her too quickly.

After the clip went viral, Moshiri was quick to make amends.

“Hey, I’m so sorry about this,” she tweeted. “I was having a private joke with the team in the gallery and pretending to count down as the director was counting me down from 10-0.. including the fingers to show the number. When we got to 1 I turned finger around as a joke and did not realise that this would be caught on camera.”

Moshiri described the bit as a “silly joke that was meant for a small number of my mates.”

Hey, more embarrassing things have happened to anchors on live television.

The holiday season is supposed to be a time of cheer and fun. Unfortunately, rock fans have found themselves in a rut this morning following some depressing news. Legendary band AC/DC has gained a heaven in the sky. Early this morning (December 16), the group took to their official Instagram page to reveal that their original drummer, Colin Burgess, died at the age of 77.

“Very sad to hear of the passing of Colin Burgess. He was our first drummer and a very respected musician. Happy memories, rock in peace, Colin,” read the note.

At this time, the official cause of death has not yet been revealed. Most AC/DC fans are familiar with founding members Malcolm and Angus Young, as well as bassist Cliff Williams, drummer Phil Rudd, lead vocalist Brian Johnson, and rhythm guitarist Stevie Young. However, the band’s original mix included the Young brothers, alongside bassist Larry Van Kriedt and Burgess as their first drummer.

Unfortunately, Burgess time in the band, as pointed out by Rolling Stone, was relatively brief (only around four months). However, he did record two songs in that time (“Can I Set Next To You, Girl” and “Rockin’ in the Parlour”).

Fans have shown their respects to Burgess online. Read a few of their posts below.

After her iHeartRadio Jingle Ball performance on December 14 in Atlanta, Georgia, Nicki Minaj is laser-focused on all things Pink Friday 2. That means leaving behind anything that will siphon off promotional attention from it, including older collaborations. Unfortunately, that means her leaked viral verse for Kanye West’s song “New Body” might never see the light of day.

After Nicki apparently refused to clear her verse, which was set to appear on West’s forthcoming joint album Vultures with Ty Dolla Sign, he went on a rant against her. Now, Azealia Banks has inserted herself into the mix to take up for Nicki’s artistic decision.

On Saturday, December 16, in a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter), Banks tore into West. “Okay. Now I’m really pissed the f*ck off,” she wrote. “Regardless of how I feel about [Pink Friday 2], did fat, smelly loser Kanye West really just try to step all over Nicki’s release? Did I hear correctly when he tried to take credit for supporting her career.”

She continued, “Did he forget that Lil Wayne and Young Money [Records] supported her, believed in her, and shared their money, time, and resources with her to launch a female rapper to international icon status? Has Kanye ever successfully launched any artist he hasn’t sabotaged out of jealousy?”

Banks’ opinions on other artists tend to divide users online, but most fans support this take.

Lots of unprecedented things have happened on Capitol Hill over the last few years. There’ve been spats from gun-toting lawmakers over metal detectors. Triumph the Insult Comic Dog visited there and caused a mini-scandal. Then there’s that whole failed coup thing. Bet few were expecting to learn hardcore porn was shot inside the vaunted building.

Per Mediaite, footage recently leaked to the Tucker Carlson-founded The Daily Caller finds to unidentified men engaging in some anal sex in one of the Senate hearing rooms.

“A source identified the room to the Daily Caller as Senate room Hart 216- The Judiciary Room. The Caller blurred out his face because his identity has not been confirmed,” Daily Caller chief national correspondent Henry Rodgers reported. “It appears to be unprotected sex.”

The video originally was originally “shared in a private group for gay men in politics.” One member apparently leaked it to The Daily Caller.

There’s been some speculation about who is involved in the video. One person who came up was Aidan Maese-Czeropski, a staffer for 80-year-old Democratic Maryland senator Ben Cardin. Maese-Czeropski has denied the allegations. Cardin’s office has yet to weigh in on the video.

On the plus side, Congress last week bid adieu to its most chaotic member, which is saying something.

Rudy Giuliani is such a wreck his chaos is even spreading to those in his orbit. On Friday the fallen former “America’s Mayor” was ordered to pay a whopping $148 million to two election workers who sued him for defamation. His self-destructive comments came about in December of 2020. It was a wild time for him: He had the Four Seasons Total Landscaping debacle, he introduced the wine lady, and he had that mystery goo moment.

Now some three years later, there’s more Giuliani-related weird hair news. Giuliani and his posse appeared at a Georgia courthouse, where he received the bad news. Among him was his entourage, including someone who appears to be a bag man, one of his lawyers, or simply a staffer. Whoever he was, he had weird, weird hair.

The ‘do sure is a wonder. Most of the guy’s head is shaved, save a gigantic, continent-sized land mass towards the front of his head. To some it looked like Cillian Murphy’s early 20th century Irish gangster get-up from Peaky Blinders, if the hair was in the slightly wrong place.

Others thought it seemed like Hitler-y.

It also inspired tons and tons of jokes.

Currently the Giuliani associate’s identity is unknown, which is probably for the best. At least he’s doing better than Rudy, who before the verdict was so broke he can’t even afford a car in which to cry (or fart). The poor guy’s even jokingly (or not?) begging people for money on live television.
