Every parent has made that split decision to grab a quick lunch or dinner by pulling into the nearest drive-thru. You’re going through your mental check list of all the tasks you have left to complete when you realize it’s been a few hours since you’ve fed your tiny human. So instead of switching stations in your brain to mentally flip through what’s in your cabinets, you pull into a fast food place and call it dinner.
Most people aren’t expecting a life changing experience while in the drive-thru but for one mom, it was. Liliana Leahy pulled into the Chick-fil-A drive-thru to grab lunch when her daughter started to choke. Leahy explained that she panicked when her daughter struggled to breathe and was unable to communicate what was wrong. The mom began began screaming.
“So I started like screaming, like hey help me. Somebody help me. My daughter is choking. Just panic,” Leahy tells 11Alive.
Thankfully, the scared mom’s screams were answered by a Chik-fil-A employee who jumped into action. Mia Isabella Velez saw the little girl was choking and got the 3-year-old out of the car to do the Heimlich maneuver. It took about three tries before the large coin came flying out of the girl’s mouth. Velez is only 18 and just recently moved to Georgia from California, but that day she just happened to be at the right place in the right time.
After the incident took place, the little girl just wanted an ice cream. It was well deserved. What a scary situation for everyone involved.
The little soft machine that is recording artist Arlo Parks has set their cooordinates to chart a course to the United States. Today (September 26) in conjunction with the release of her Ameya-directed video for “Purple Phase,” she announced that her My Soft Machine Tour would makes stops across North America.
The tour initially began on September 13 in Amsterdam. However, the North American wing won’t begin until February 29 when Parks, alongside special guest Chloe George, set roots in San Diego, California. Last September, due to mental health reasons, Parks decided to cancel several performances in the US. Now, it seems like the musician is in a better place and ready to make up for lost times.
Parks’ My Soft Machine album has received high praise from fans. The record “Purple Phase” appears on the project. Watch the official video for the single above.
Arlo Parks’ fan pre-sale began today (September 26). General ticket sales will start on Friday at 10 am local time. Find more information here. View the full My Soft Machine Tour schedule below.

Former Donald Trump administration aide Cassidy Hutchinson stopped by The View on Tuesday morning to promote her new book, and Whoopi Goldberg got straight to the point when it came to asking why Hutchinson didn’t leave the MAGA White House sooner.
“Did you not realize you were in a cult?” Goldberg asked as Hutchinson reflected on her time working for Trump. Co-host Sara Haines added to that point. “Look at church cult leaders,” Haines said. “You read these books about the slow degradation of tearing down the individual to build the leader. It happens. It’s a mind… thing.”
Of course, leave it to Joy Behar to go there. “Were there daddy issues?” she asked Hutchinson. “I mean, a lot of these people feel like they have daddy issues. … But a lot of them are following Daddy. Like, ‘Tell me what to do, Daddy.’”
Former Trump aide and #Enough author Cassidy Hutchinson tells #TheView why she remained loyal to the former president after Jan. 6, saying there was an “unspoken cloak of loyalty”: “I didn’t understand at the time, but that’s not normal.” https://t.co/cVclFZQmjApic.twitter.com/Zm9sypxXHR
Despite the daddy jokes, Hutchinson didn’t avoid the question, according to Mediaite.
“I can’t speak for other people on that but I will say, yes, he is charming,” Hutchinson admitted. “He has that personality that can bring you in. But it’s more about the power of Donald Trump’s movement. And Donald Trump wasn’t just born yesterday. He didn’t just appear in 2015.”
However, the former Trump aide sees much more clearly now after realizing it was not her job to stop the former president from making terrible decisions.
“He’s a grown man and he made decisions to overrule our democratic rule of law,” Hutchinson said. “And it is not the staff around him. So looking back and upon reflection, I should not have felt that way. But I felt that loyalty to him still because I wanted him to still be surrounded by good people. And I thought that I could be a decent voice around him.”
The Federalist co-founder Sean Davis wrote on X, “Taylor Swift is dumb and her music sucks.” He also shared a Federalist article that claims Swift’s popularity is a “sign of societal decline” and that her music is “utterly defined by self-obsession rather than introspection.” The writer does, however, think “All Too Well” is a good song, so credit where credit is due.
Roger Kimball, a columnist for the Trump-backing American Greatness and the American Spectator, shared Davis’ feelings about Swift’s music and added, “Also, she is homely.” Juanita Broderick, who once accused former President Bill Clinton of rape and who is now an unabashed Trump supporter despite the dozens of women who have accused him of sexual misconduct, reacted to an old video of Swift denouncing Trump by saying, “Who gives a F what Taylor Swift thinks?”
Tomi Lahren is still a fan of Swift’s music, but not her “leftie liberal braindead” politics.

D4vd is continuing to bring his Petals To Thorns Tour across North America, as well as some shows opening for SZA’s SOS Tour. While his final date with her is October 29, he will then be heading to Asia to play concerts in Japan, South Korea, and more. Because of his worldwide reach and becoming a rising star, fans heading to see d4vd might be wondering what songs they should memorize.
So far, most of the songs selected have been from d4vd’s Petals To Thorns album that dropped in May — including “Sleep Well” and “The Bridge.” He has also been adding some picks from his recent EP, The Lost Petals, with “Notes From A Wrist.”
Outside of his opening slot with SZA, he has also added more songs like “Rehab,” “Backstreet Girl,” “Placebo Effect,” and others — for those who are catching him outside of the SOS Tour.
To view a complete list of his upcoming tour dates through February 2024, along with tickets, visit his website here.
Continue scrolling to view d4vd’s latest setlist, according to setlist.fm, from his time opening for SZA in Nashville over the weekend.

2. “Notes From A Wrist”
3. “Sleep Well”
4. “Take Me To The Sun”
5. “Here With Me”
6. “Poetic Vulgarity”
7. “The Bridge”
8. “Romantic Homicide”
If there is one thing they love on Yellowstone(besides those cowboy hats and family drama) it’s lighting up a quick cig during stressful moments. The hit series has been dominating streaming services for so long, but now that it has made its way to prime-time cable, it’s a whole new rodeo.
Yellowstone had its primetime debut on CBS last week, and while fans are excited to see Kevin Costner on cable, the FCC is a little less than excited, particularly about Beth Dutton and her cigarette breaks.
The Federal Trade Commission’s Cigarette Labeling and Advertising Act prohibits “any advertising of cigarettes and little cigars on radio, television, or other media regulated by the [FCC].” Unfortunately, Beth Dutton is not one to refuse a cigarette. Kelly Reilly, on the other hand, hates those fake cigarettes.
While Yellowstone was previously only available streaming online, a recent report found that streamers are extremely guilty of promoting cigarettes and smoking, as shows like Stranger Things and Orange is the New Black brought the use back into the mainstream.
While CBS hasn’t cut out any of the smoking (they did retract some of the cursing!) they might have to if they don’t want to be fined by the FCC, or be forced to come face-to-face with some viewer complaints. Maybe for the next season, the Duttons can introduce nicotine patches? Assuming there will even be a next season.
Jayson Tatum is getting set for his seventh season with the Boston Celtics, as the former No. 3 overall pick has become one of the NBA’s premier stars, making the Celtics a perennial contender in the East. That said, this year’s team looks a bit different with Kristaps Porzingis in town and Marcus Smart and Grant Williams now gone, as the organization looked to change course a bit after falling flat in the Eastern Conference Finals a year ago.
Like many NBA stars, the weeks leading into camp are also about getting out and doing the media rounds, and Tatum made a stop in on the season premiere of Kevin Hart’s “Cold As Balls” show, where the comedian can’t actually get in the cold tub right now after tearing his abductors trying to race someone. Tatum discussed the new-look Celtics and how it’s both exciting to have Porzingis and a hopefully more dynamic offense and sad going into the season without Smart and Grant given their importance to the team in previous years.
However, prior to all of that, Tatum had a present for Hart, bringing one of his son Deuce’s jerseys for Kevin to try on in hopes it would fit.
Kevin Hart’s commitment to doing bits about how short he is can get tiresome to some folks, but this is a pretty good one from Tatum and the jersey does fit Hart upsettingly well. The best part is Tatum trying to put it on Hart and being reminded of how he gets Deuce dressed in the morning. Hart, who is a diehard Sixers fan, plays along and tries to insist later that the Sixers (who are dealing with the James Harden mess) will stand in the Celtics way of a title, to which Tatum dryly replies “will they?”
This week saw the release of a ton of great new pop music. A ton of artists returned with stellar new albums, including Kylie Minogue bringing the heat on Tension and Slayyyter keeping the party going on Starf*cker. And even with that, there is still so much left to choose from — adding to an already record year for music.
Check out the rest of Uproxx’s Best New Pop Music roundup below.
Zach Bryan, Noah Kahan — “Sarah’s Place”
Zach Bryan surprised fans with a brand new EP titled Boys Of Faith, and it also features some standout collaborations. One of which is Noah Kahan on “Sarah’s Place,” where the two reflect on memories of someone they no longer see, but still keep loosely in touch with. While fictional, there is still a bit of emotional reliability to it that most can understand.
Shakira, Fuerza Regida — “El Jefe”
Shakira’s new “El Jefe” collaboration with Fuerza Regida finds her struggling with the stresses of daily life, including dropping her kids at school. However, some are suspecting there’s a layer of a diss track, as she mentions the name of her nanny who discovered her ex’s affair.
Kylie Minogue — “Green Light”
Kylie Minogue returned with her album, Tension, and fans have a ton of thoughts — as they’ve been excitedly waiting for it. “Green Light” arrives later into the record in terms of tracklist sequencing, but it continues the danceable, mesmerizing vibe to keep the night going. While others started slower or opened with a more robotic instrumental, this one feels more disco-inspired.
Fifty Fifty — “Lovin’ Me – Live Studio Version OT4”
Fifty Fifty is already honoring their successful year in a special way, as they dropped their The Beginning compilation EP. It includes several versions of their hit “Cupid,” including the Sabrina Carpenter remix and a sped-up version. However, it’s their live studio takes, like of “Lovin’ Me,” that slow things down and show people just how vocally talented these girls are.
Bleachers — “Modern Girl”
Believed to be the lead single from their fourth album, Bleachers’ “Modern Girl” is a carefree jam session that also namedrops the band members in the lyrics, making it a fun, personal touch. The track also appears in the new season of Sex Education.
Slayyyter — “I Love Hollywood”
Slayyyter’s “I Love Hollywood,” from her new album, Starf*cker, finds her fully leaning into the high-glam mentality. With inspiration from Y2K pop stars like Gwen Stefani, Lady Gaga, and more, she takes the vibes to another level — going on an extensive shopping spree, smoking in a limo, and more.
Kim Petras — “Confession”
Kim Petras also put out a new surprise record titled Problématique. “I got so many diamonds and rings / I don’t need more material things / But lately you’ve been all in my dreams,” she reveals on “Confession,” a romantic spin about rejecting the expensive lifestyle.
Holly Humberstone — “Into Your Room”
Holly Humberstone is approaching the release of her Paint My Bedroom Black album and has treated fans to another strong preview with “Into Your Room.” Blending her unique electronic beats and emotional lyricism, she takes part of the blame for being the downfall of a relationship.
Chappell Roan — “Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl”
In the music video for “Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl” from Chappell Roan’s The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess, she takes the part of an “alien tourist” as she wanders around Los Angeles. The song itself opens with an entertaining narration of a bad date that Roan went on.
Troye Sivan — “Got Me Started”
Troye Sivan already had the internet talking after his “Rush” release, and his “Got Me Started” follow-up is just as addictive. The neon-themed music video matches the club-ready vibes. It also samples Bag Raiders’ “Shooting Stars,” of which Sivan shared, “I’m over the moon about the opportunity to sample that track because this song is iconic to me.”

The Postal Service and Death Cab For Cutie have been playing shows together on their joint tour — honoring their respective albums, Give Up, and Transatlanticism, both turning twenty years old. And it turns out they have even more surprises in store. The two bands are opening a special exhibit in Seattle titled Everything Looks Closer From Far Away: The Exhibit.
According to a press release, the exhibit’s title is a reference to The Postal Service’s hit song, “Such Great Heights,” but will serve as a tribute to both records. It is listed as a “pop culture time capsule” that will feature “murals, artifacts, large-scale installations, an in-depth timeline of both records and more,” according to 105.7 The Point.
It opens on September 29 at the KEXP Gathering Space, and will run for a month, closing on October 29. The exhibit will be open 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
The two bands will be playing sold-out shows in Seattle on October 6 and 7, leaving open the possibility for them to drop by. Or, for fans arriving from out of town, attending the special exhibit would be perfect to add into any sightseeing plans.
The anniversary tour officially concludes on October 19 in Los Angeles. A complete list of dates and remaining tickets can be found here.
