Travis Scott’s Circus Maximus Tour hit Tusla, Oklahoma over the weekend, where the rapper graced fans with nearly a dozen encores of one of his Utopia hits. On Sunday (November 19), social media accounts lit up with footage from the night before exclaiming that Travis had performed the song “Fe!n” 10 times — including at least once joined by the song’s featured artist Playboi Carti. You can check out videos from Saturday night’s Circus Maximus Tour stop in Oklahoma City below.
“Fe!n,” which was produced by Travis and features Playboi Carti and Sheck Wes, peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100, giving Carti his highest-charting song yet and Travis his 14th top-10 hit.
Meanwhile, another notable moment from the ongoing tour saw Travis indulge in some adorable father-daughter bonding as he brought his daughter Stormi onstage with him as he performed “Mafia” in Inglewood, California’s SoFi Stadium.
The tour has marked Travis’ first since the Astroworld Festival disaster of 2021, which he addressed in a recent interview. In his first public statement about the incident since its immediate aftermath, Travis told GQ that he’s been “overly devastated” by the deaths. “Those fans were like my family,” he said. “I love my fans to the utmost… It has its moments where it gets rough and…yeah. You just feel for those people. And their families.”

Pumpkin pie is one of those Thanksgiving dinner dishes that can get pretty divisive. The whole pumpkin spice craze of the last 20 years (yes folks, it’s been that long) hasn’t helped either. Pumpkin pie — at its core — is a celebration of a roasted gourd spiced up by fall/winter spices with a creamy and soft texture. Then there’s a pie crust with a nice crunch, savoriness, and butteriness to it, adding more flavor and texture.
Sounds good, right? It is… when it’s done right.
Sadly, it’s a very easy pie to screw up — especially when corners are cut for efficiency and cost. Case in point, prepared grocery store pies have massive swings in quality. Even in our blind taste test and ranking of grocery store pies, the winning pumpkin pie didn’t seem to be that great. Uproxx’s Dane Rivera had this to say about the current champ, “My only real knock against this pie is the crust. It’s a bit too soft and doesn’t serve as a big enough contrast to the silkiness of the filling.”
The gist is that when you’re not baking from scratch at home, you’re going to have to be okay with some shortcomings. Nothing Dane ranked seemed to leave him blissed out.
If you have time, we think you should take the hour to bake a pumpkin pie this Thanksgiving (oh, look — here’s a great recipe to do just that). But what if you don’t have time? Well, after Dane’s ranking, we got a whole lot of emails and comments about Costco’s colossal pumpkin pie. People wanted to know where it lands in the grand scheme of things. So I dutifully purchased Dane’s favorite grocery pumpkin pie from Trader Joe’s and pitted it in a side-by-side tasting with Costco’s truly huge pumpkin pie.
The results were striking — let’s dive right in.

Trader Joe’s pumpkin pie has a brownish hue with a clear sense of spices in the filling (you can see the dark brown dots). The crust is fancy on the edges and very thick. I want to call this pie “small” but that’s only because it’s sitting next to a massive Costco one.
The pie also has a bold aroma of pumpkin spice. The moment you take it from the box, it hits you with a lot of pumpkin spices — kind of like a pumpkin spiced latte from Starbucks. I don’t think this is an accident.
Overall, you should be able to get six slices from this pie, which is a good size overall.
Tasting Notes:
Pie Filling: The filling really smells of pumpkin spice lattes. The texture is softer at first but then gets a little gummy on the third and fourth chew. The actual taste is pumpkin spice only. There’s no sense of pumpkin at all on the palate. By the end, the filling was like chewing pumpkin spice creamy gum.
Crust: Crust? What crust? I’m only half kidding. The crust was dense yet gummy and almost completely blank of flavor besides a whisper of salt. The crimped rim had a bit of a crunch to it but that’s me being very generous. The underlayer of crust was just gummy to the point of almost being annoying to chew.
Bottom Line:
Zach Johnston
If this is the best “grocery store pumpkin pie” … the others must have been complete dumpster fires. Poor Dane, what have me made him submit himself to! There’s no taste of pumpkin whatsoever.
Fifty. Eight. Ounces. That means that you can easily get 12-16 servings from this pie. So right out of the gate, this pie wins major points for feeding a big crew or family.
Okay, let’s get into the pie. The color is a nice brownish orange — a burnt orange if you will. The crust isn’t overly fancy or crimped but it’s there.
The key is that when you pop the container open you get a nose full of roasted pumpkin that has been spiced. Like real, actual pumpkin.
Tasting Notes:
Pie Filling: The filling is moist and has a little give to it. It’s kind of halfway between a flan and crème brûlée in consistency thanks to a moment of airiness. The actual taste is roasted pumpkin forward with a nice layer of savory pumpkin that’s been spiced with nutmeg, allspice, and cinnamon. There’s nothing as bold as clove or anise but there is a mild sharpness to the spice.
Plus, it feels real. I mean that in that it feels like real pumpkin and actual spices were used instead of a mix (or can).
Crust:
The crust is thinner, which works here. There’s a nice butteriness to the crimped rim with a good pinch of salt countered by a moment of white sugar. The under crust is thin and kind of gets lost for the most part. It does provide a faint textural layer but not much. At the very least, it tastes like real pie crust with butter and salt and not just white flour.
Bottom Line:
Zach Johnston
Overall, this tastes like real-deal pumpkin pie. And that’s why Costco’s Pumpkin Pie runs away with this battle. There’s almost no comparison between the two.
Part 2 — Final Thoughts on the Pumpkin Pies
Zach Johnston
Okay, while I am dragging Trader Joe’s pie pretty hard, I do get it. It’s made for folks who want “pumpkin spice” pie. It’s a latte in a neutral pie crust. And I fully appreciate that it beat a whole mess of middling pies in the blind tasting. But there’s still little to no “pumpkin” in that equation. Then there’s the mouthfeel. The Trader Joe’s pie is gummy. The Costco pie is lush by comparison.
In the end, the Costco pie wins on every front and that’s before you even get to how much more you’re getting for one dollar less in price. I think it might be time for y’all to pull that trigger and get a Costco membership if you want to buy the best storebought pumpkin pie. Or, y’know, just bake your own and make this conversation moot in an instant.
On Monday morning, November 20, Kelce was revealed as the latest cover star for WSJ. Magazine. In the accompanying story, Kelce said, “She’ll probably hate me for saying this, but […] when she came to Arrowhead, they gave her the big locker room as a dressing room, and her little cousins were taking pictures […] in front of my locker” (as relayed on WSJ‘s Instagram).
“There were definitely people she knew that knew who I was, in her corner [who said]: ‘Yo! Did you know he was coming?’ I had somebody playing Cupid,” Kelce said, adding, “She told me exactly what was going on and how I got lucky enough to get her to reach out.”
The two-time Super Bowl champion also let slip that they met for the first time in New York, though Kelce doesn’t specify when their first meeting took place.
“When I met her in New York, we had already kind of been talking, so I knew we could have a nice dinner and, like, a conversation, and what goes from there will go from there,” the All-Pro tight end told WSJ.
Last week, it was reported byEntertainment Tonightthat Kelce’s parents, Donna and Ed, would meet Swift’s parents, Andrea and Scott, at the Chiefs’ game against the Philadelphia Eagles at Arrowhead on Monday night, November 20. (The Swift family has famously always been an Eagles household.) Kelce and his brother, Eagles All-Pro center Jason Kelce, joked about it on an episode of their New Heights podcast.

FX’s team-up with Hulu continues to be one of the better streaming endeavors out there. This pairing, after all, gave us The Bear‘s kitchen heat for two runaway seasons and a third on the way. The really specialReservation Dogs also has three seasons for the taking, and Fargo is still kicking over there while sauntering through Season 5.
Then there’s A Murder At The End Of The World with a set-up that will initially remind you of a Glass Onion-esque whodunnit, but it’s even fresher and stars Emma Corrin (The Crown, My Policeman) and Clive Owen (Sin City, The Closer) along with Harris Dickinson, who will also soon appear in A24’s The Iron Claw.
Corrin portrays an amateur sleuth and one of several guests who are invited to a reclusive billionaire’s gathering, so how many episodes will it take before this season’s mystery wraps up?
Seven episodes will eventually be available, and the mystery aspect shall continue until the very end. Granted, that’s not too many episodes, but most of them are at least one hour long, so you are definitely getting your money’s worth.
FX’s A Murder At The End Of The World is currently streaming its first episodes on Hulu.

For weeks, Jets fans have been pleading with Robert Saleh and the organization to do something at quarterback other than continuing to trot out Zach Wilson, who has continued playing as one of the NFL’s worst quarterbacks in his third season in the league.
Sunday’s loss to the Bills appeared to be the breaking point for the Jets, as they could only muster six points in what became a 32-6 loss to their division rivals. After their first two drives went nowhere in the third quarter, Wilson finally got replaced by Tim Boyle, who didn’t have any more success than Wilson, as he went 7-of-14 passing for 33 yards and an interception. Still, the Jets are trying to do something different and on Monday, word broke that Boyle would be getting his shot as a starter this week when the Jets face the Dolphins on Black Friday in a standalone primetime spot on Amazon.
Having to face a Dolphins team that has been absolutely bludgeoning the bottom-half of the league this season is not exactly a friendly welcome to the starting lineup for Boyle, but it will provide at least an attempt at changing things up for the Jets. The real issue for New York isn’t that they haven’t given the other bad quarterbacks on the roster a chance this season, but that they refused to make a trade to bring in one of the better backups floating around the league. Joshua Dobbs is the obvious example with what he’s provided Minnesota since arriving from Arizona, but Jacoby Brissett and others would’ve give them at least a competent game manager to possibly pair with their stout defense.
Instead, they stood pat at the deadline and now will trot Boyle out as something of a sacrificial lamb to the fan base to prove there isn’t a better QB on the roster, when the issue is that they didn’t bother trying to upgrade that once Rodgers went down.
