Ever since the pandemic, it seems concert etiquette has gone out the window. Fans are chucking things at performers on stage left and right, prompting artists like Adele, Billie Eilish, and Drake to speak out against fans getting out of control at concerts. However, at the Openair Frauenfeld festival in Switzerland on Saturday, things went the other direction, as a wannabe stage diver found out the hard way why venues discourage the practice. Getting a running start, the fan leaped into the unwilling crowd, which parted at once, allowing the fan to crash headlong into the ground.

While from the video, the disheveled daredevil looks to be mostly okay — if a little shaken up — they’ve undoubtedly learned an unpleasant lesson just like performers like Post Malone and Westside Boogie. And while Taylor Swift has incorporated a “stage dive” into her Eras Tour staging, she’s a professional and is likely landing on something designed by other professionals to cushion her fall and prevent injury (side note: there’s an episode of Poker Face that uses this as a major plot element, and I, for one, will never be doing such a thing as a result of watching it, safety equipment or no).

So, yeah, don’t throw stuff on stage — but please don’t throw yourself off of it, either.

(A disturbing clip will be found below, but if you already know The Walking Dead, you’ve definitely seen worse.)

The Walking Dead: Dead City is pleasing those viewers who might not necessarily be fans of the Old Negan but are nonetheless unable to look away from his gruesome-showman persona. As the episodes continue grinding away with Maggie and Negan in Manhattan, AMC has also had a ball showing off some footage for Norman Reedus’ Daryl In Paris spinoff, which sadly will not include a fan-favorite companion even though (for some good news) Melissa McBride’s Carol has been photographed on the set.

Previously, we’ve heard all about how Daryl mysteriously washes ashore in France with no idea how he arrived there after leaving The Commonwealth. He apparently took a very long nap (happens), but AMC has already made it clear that he’s not happy to find himself in Europe. And even worse, now it seems that some sadistic nuns have gotten ahold of our unwashed boo.

There is a branding iron involved. This is not a wonderful realization for Daryl, who already wasn’t religious (remember how unimpressed he was by the “Jesus” nickname back in Season 6?). All I can really conclude here is that Daryl needs his crossbow back right about now.

Alright, Carol. It’s time to show up!

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon is still being cagey about its release date.

For those not well versed in moose facts, the shedding of antlers is normally a fairly lengthy process. It happens only once a year after mating season and usually consists of a moose losing one antler at a time.

It’s incredibly rare for a bull moose to lose both at the same time—and even more rare that someone would actually catch it on film.

That’s why shed hunter (yes, that’s a real term) and woodsman Derek Burgoyne calls his footage of the phenomenon a “one-in-a-million” shot.

According to The Guardian, Burgoyne was flying his drone through a remote patch of forest in Canada when he spotted three moose in a clearing. His drone followed one of the bulls, who began doing the wobbly little shake thing that signals these antlers are going bye-bye.

Burgoyne knew he had to keep his camera on the moment—but he had no idea that he’d hit the jackpot.

Watch below:

It’s hard to tell which is more fun to watch— the super rare moment in nature or Burgoyne’s pure passion for his hobby.

“I shook a little bit. It was an adrenaline rush for sure,“ he told CBC News, sharing that he has previously found hundreds of shed antlers in his life.

Antler hunting has become a hot and profitable pastime over the past few years, although Burgoyne affirms that his shed hunting ambitions are born from a desire for well-being, not monetary gain.

“I enjoy being in the woods. It’s great exercise and it’s fun tracking the moose through the winter and looking for their sheds in the spring. Each one you find feels like the first one. It never gets old,” he told The Guardian.

Well Derek Burgoyne, thank you for doing what you love. Thanks to your passion, we too can share this once-in-a-lifetime moment. Here’s to good moose news!

Narcissist has become somewhat of a buzzword across social media platforms. It’s become so common that the word has made its way into the daily lexicon of many people and in a sense lost the weight the word carries. Narcissist has become a catch all word for someone that may display toxic or undesirable behaviors.

But narcissism isn’t a fun pop culture word, it’s an actual mental health condition that requires a proper diagnosis. It also requires more than just doing something that someone doesn’t like to meet criteria. In fact, many people that have narcissistic personality disorder aren’t diagnosed because they generally don’t seek treatment due to exaggerated sense of self-importance, which can lead to toxic relationships.

Dr. Ramani is a clinical psychologist and narcissist expert, she teaches people how to interact with narcissistic people and how to recover from a narcissistic relationship. In a recent interview, Dr. Ramani sat down Lisa Bilyeu, the host of “Women of Impact” and discussed recognizing a narcissistic relationship pattern and how to escape.

Dr. Ramani begins the segment by essentially comparing and contrasting what a healthy relationship is like in comparison to one that involves a narcissistic partner.

“They don’t want you to be strong. They don’t want you to succeed. They don’t want you to get away and they sure as heck don’t want you to be independent,” Dr. Ramani says. “Narcissism is about dominance, power and control.”

She explains that narcissists find it threatening if their partner is successful, particularly if they start to become more successful than the narcissist. But in a healthy relationship, there is no competition around success. The psychologist says in a healthy relationship the partners support each other and work through any insecurities.

There’s no need for one partner to shrink themselves so the other is more comfortable. On the other hand, in a narcissistic relationship there are no boundaries and when there are boundaries put in place by the non narcissist partner, the narcissist will punish them.

“There are a lot of different ways narcissistic people punish people,” Dr. Ramani explains. “They abandon people, they withhold from people, they humiliate people, they embarrass people publicly.”

Not only is the entire conversation eye opening but it is likely extremely helpful for people who may be questioning if they have found themselves in a narcissistic relationship. The full clip is below and Dr. Ramani does an exceptional job at laying things out in easy to understand terms and scenarios.

Tom Segura‘s new comedy special, Sledgehammer, dropped on Netflix last week, and it’s a tight, one-hour set showcasing the comedian’s latest tour. However, what fans didn’t get see was an anecdote about Segura moving into a new neighborhood where he quickly discovered that a certain “current or former” United States senator also lives.

In a new deleted scene from Sledgehammer, Segura walks the audience through his first (alleged) encounter with his famous neighbor, and man, is it awkward. While Segura was out taking a walk, the unnamed senator recognized the comedian and immediately asked him a very weird question: “Where do you think the term ‘motherf*cker’ comes from?”

Caught off guard by the question, Segura simply replied, “I dunno,” prompting his senatorial neighbor to share his theory: “Do you think it’s from people doing that?” And the conservation did not get better.

The senator then allegedly asked about the term “daughter f*ckers,” which Segura pointed out isn’t “an expression that anybody uses.” At that point, the senator just turns around and walks back into his house.

But their time together wasn’t over. As Segura headed home from his walk, the senator came back outside because he didn’t want their last conversation to weirdly end. Okay, fair enough, but then the senator starts to walk through the very obvious meaning of the term “motherf*cker” again.

“Wow,” Segura mockingly exclaimed. “I am so impressed that you put that together so quickly. I can see why you may or may not be Ted Cruz.”

Tom Segura: Sledgehammer is available for streaming on Netflix.

July 21st is a big day. After all, it’s when Blur releases The Ballard of Darren, their first album in eight years. It’s also when the nation’s multiplexes premiere both Barbie and Oppenheimer — two very different movies that have become joined at the hip on social media. The unlikely duo have inspired tons of memes, as well as a burning question: Which one will moviegoers pick? Tom Cruise thinks you should see both. And apparently a ton of people are listening to him.

As per Variety, AMC Theatres, the world’s largest cinema change, is claiming that more than 20,000 Stubs members have already planned a double feature of the two on the same day. Which will they see first? The PG-13 take on a doll line that has inadvertently caused some international controversy? Or the grim, R-rated docudrama about the “father of the atom bomb” that improbably features “prolonged full nudity” from some of its stars?

Mind you, as Variety points out, AMC just saying they’ve sold over 20,000 double features without comparable data points doesn’t mean a whole lot. It sure sounds like a really big number, though, doesn’t it?

Variety also notes that, after all the hype, neither may win the July 21 box office weekend. That could wind up going to this weekend’s almost certain champ, a little movie called Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One. But again, even that film’s star is trying to marshal moviegoers to watch both possibly the pinkest movie ever made and a movie about the guy who sort of doomed humanity to a possible extinction. Movies are back, baby.

As we reached the mid-point of 2023, one of the biggest topics of discussion among music fans was how no rap album had yet reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart — the first time this had failed to occur by July since 1993. The long streak has finally been broken, however, by Lil Uzi Vert, whose third studio album Pink Tape entered the albums chart at the top, also marking Uzi’s third album to reach No. 1.

As Billboard notes, the last time the first half of the year featured no rap No. 1s was in 1993 — two years before Uzi was even born — when Cypress Hill’s Black Sunday debuted at No. 1 on the August 7th chart, 34 weeks after Ice Cube’s The Predator. The last rap album to reach No. 1 before Pink Tape was Metro Boomin’s Heroes & Villains on the December 17 chart, a 29-week gap.

Between the two, SZA’s SOS and Morgan Wallen’s One Thing At A Time have absolutely dominated the No. 1 spot, at 10 and 15 nonconsecutive weeks each, respectively, while four albums each spent one week at the top. Karol G’s Mañana Será Bonito, Stray Kids’ 5-STAR, Taylor Swift’s Midnights, and TOMORROW X TOGETHER’s The Name Chapter: Temptation. That’s a lot of K-pop.

This week’s top 10 sees Morgan Wallen’s One Thing At A Time at No. 2, Peso Pluma’s Génesis at No. 3, Midnights at No. 4, and Wallen’s previous album Dangerous: The Double Album at No. 5. The remaining five, in order, are SZA’s SOS Gunna’s A Gift & A Curse, Swift’s Lover, Aespa’s MY WORLD, and Rylo Rodriguez’s Been One.

Rap Sh!t made its way to HBO Max last summer as Issa Rae’s second offering to the streamer following the conclusion of Insecure. The new show documented the rise of two ladies who came together to form a rap duo in their hometown of Miami, a story that is similar to the rise of City Girls who are also co-executive producers on the show. Season one of Rap Sh!t was a success, and as expected, fans quickly called for a second season. The show was renewed for season two shortly after season one ended, and now, we have an official date for the new season.

Max announced today that season two of Rap Sh!t will premiere on August 10. Just like season one, the new season will be eight episodes and the first two episodes of the season will be released on the August 10 premiere date. The announcement also came with a new teaser that gave a small preview of what goes down in season two. Shawna and Mia, who are played by Aida Osman and KaMillion respectively, experience new levels of fame and different struggles as they navigate their new lives as successful rappers.

You can watch the teaser for Rap Sh!t season two in the post above.

‘Rap Sh!t’ season two debuts on Max on August 10. Season one is available to stream on Max.

Late last year, a wild story broke about Kansas City Chiefs superfan Chiefsaholic, who traveled around following the team wearing a full wolf costume to games, getting arrested for armed robbery.

Then, in March, he apparently cut off his ankle monitor and went on the run, evading law enforcement for the last four months until he was finally arrested this past weekend in California. Xaviar Babudar, aka Chiefsaholic, was initially charged with one count of bank theft and one count of traveling stolen property across state lines after robbing a Tulsa credit union in December. However, that was apparently just scratching the surface, as the FBI launched a probe into a number of unsolved bank robberies across the midwest in recent years after his initial arrest and found that phone records placed him in the exact location of four robberies in four different states, as well as a pair of failed robberies in Minnesota. He also was running money through casinos by buying chips and cashing out in an attempt to launder the money (via the Department of Justice).

According to an affidavit filed in support of the federal criminal complaint, Babudar traveled throughout the Midwest to perpetrate a string of robberies at various banks and credit unions. He allegedly laundered the robbery proceeds through area casinos and bank accounts.

Following Babudar’s arrest in Oklahoma last December, FBI investigators began reviewing bank records, casino transaction records, and sensitive financial reporting to determine the breadth and scope of additional potential criminal activities. Babudar purchased and redeemed more than $1 million in chips from various casinos in Missouri, Kansas, and Illinois between April and December 2022, the affidavit says.

Investigators also reviewed unsolved bank robberies throughout the Midwest during that time frame. Babudar’s cell phone was placed in the same cities and locations for these previously unsolved bank robberies and attempted robberies, the affidavit says. In addition to the bank theft with which Babudar is charged in this complaint and the bank robbery charged in Oklahoma, the affidavit specifically refers to four bank robberies in Nebraska, Iowa, Tennessee and Oklahoma, and to the attempted robberies of two credit unions in Minnesota.

After the Iowa robbery, which was for $70,000, he apparently deposited that exact amount over the next few weeks into his money market savings account, which, it’s pretty bold stealing money from a bank and then leaving a paper trail by depositing it into another banks shortly after. I don’t think that’s something they teach you in Bank Robbery 101.

Basically, after getting charged for one robbery and facing a good amount of trouble, the Chiefs superfan is now facing a whole lot more trouble after going on the run and the FBI linking him to six other attempted robberies (four of them successful). That investigation, one presumes, is why he went on the run in the first place as he knew he was about to be in real Barney.

Don’t film Jay-Z doing the Electric Slide with his mom during his wife Beyoncé‘s Renaissance Tour shows. The rap mogul caught a fan capturing the family moment (during Beyoncé’s Cameo-sampling cover of Maze’s “Before I Let Go,” naturally) and put a stop to their voyeurism with a gesture, but that didn’t stop the fan from uploading the video — which still went pretty viral on Twitter thanks to the Jay-Z Daily account. I guess it’s kinda like the Barbra Streisand Effect.

Still, you can’t blame Jay for being a little protective. After all, while the rapper himself is used to becoming a meme for his awkward head-nodding and chronic lack of athletic ability, that’s his mom. She’s probably one of the few people on the planet who can make him cry, so if he can keep her from becoming fodder for some of the mean jokes people like to make online, you know he will.

But, in this case, it seems the fan captured a wholesome moment and the responses have been accordingly upbeat. Commenters are mostly praising Jay for being such a fan of his family and remarking on the cultural ubiquity of the dance/song combo, and noting how good he’s gotten at spotting surreptitious cinematographers. And hey, he may not be the best diver, but his steps are ON POINT.

Check out some of the responses below.
