Since 2017, the Netflix animation comedy Big Mouth has both amused and grossed-out viewers. Co-created by voice co-star Nick Kroll, it’s an inventive and absolutely fearless look at one of the most tumultuous times in a person’s life: puberty. Over its five seasons and counting, the show has never shied away from going there, and often beyond, sometimes with the help of Duke Ellington’s ghost (voice of Jordan Peele). A sixth season is en route, but when does it come out?
The answer: Friday, October 28. That’s when all new episodes of the show will drop, although perhaps fans will decide to go through them in shifts, not just because of how intense it can be, but because that’s when this year’s World Series begins.
Big Mouth is loosely (very, very loosely) based on the childhood of lifelong friends Kroll and co-creator Andrew Goldberg. Kroll voices Nick, an adolescent who, along with his friend Andrew (John Mulaney, standing in for Goldberg), wrestle with the onset of puberty. Making matters worse, their puberty blues are embodied by Hormone Monsters, some better equipped with steering them through such muddy waters than others.
The show has proven so popular that it spawned a star-studded spinoff, Human Resources, which depicts the office culture of said Hormone Monsters. That show bowed earlier this year, and has already been renewed for a second season. Meanwhile, some of the Big Mouth brain trust is teaming with no less an icon than Mel Brooks to turn one of his finest, bluest cinematic efforts, History of the World: Part I, into a Hulu show.
With Kawhi Leonard and Paul George both out of action, the L.A. Clippers faced an intriguing challenge on Tuesday evening with a road trip to face Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder. By halftime, it was clear that the Clippers were locked in battle, trailing 49-43 after 24 minutes of action. However, there was a very interesting play just before the halftime break arrived, and it involved Clippers center Ivica Zubac and a case of mistaken clock management.
With about nine seconds remaining in the half, Thunder guard Tre Mann connected on a three-pointer to give Oklahoma City that six-point edge. Zubac then took the inbound pass and heaved a shot from more than 80 feet, seemingly not realizing that the Clippers were inbounding with 8.7 seconds to go.
Hilariously, Zubac nearly made this shot, and it would have been incredible if it went in. Regardless, it brought entertainment to everyone watching, and the broadcast team was clearly quite confused by what transpired.
Zubac actually had a very strong first half, finishing with six points, eight rebounds and two blocked shots in 17 minutes of action. This mental error doesn’t erase those contributions, but it certainly might get him recognized in some anti-highlight compilations.
One thing that we can all agree on about Taylor Swift is that for the last few years she has been unstoppable. In 2020 alone, the pop star unveiled two full-length albums, Folklore and Evermore, both of which satisfied fans. While putting out new material, she has also been re-recording old albums. No matter what’s going on, she’s doing something. On The Tonight Show Monday night to promote her new album Midnights, she explained why.
“I love writing songs, poems, stories, scripts,” she told host Jimmy Fallon. “I love writing those things because there’s a part of it I don’t quite understand how it comes to fruition. There’s something so mysterious about writing but I’ve found that the more I write the more I keep writing. I don’t know what’s been going on but in the last six or seven years, I’ve just been constantly making things and the more things I make the happier I am. So I just continue to do it. I’m just happy you guys like that.”
After the crowd cheered. she added, “Sometimes it feels completely involuntarily. Sometimes your day is completely interrupted by a hook or a lyric or just a thing on piano or sometimes you don’t know what the place for it is going to be but I am just always reaching for my phone and recording things.”
The 1975 are having a big moment with the release of their highly anticipated album Being Funny In A Foreign Language, which came after compelling singles like “Part Of The Band” and “I’m In Love With You.” Their tour will bring them even more attention, especially with their New York City stop at the iconic Madison Square Garden, where they’ll be livestreaming the performance.
The livestream will take place on the Amazon Music UK channel on Twitch on the Nov. 7 at 1:30 A.M. GMT (8:30 P.M. EST). It will be re-broadcast globally the next day at 6 P.M. GMT. About this livestream, the band said in a press release, “We wanted all our fans to be able to see our brand-new live show together so we’re excited everyone will get the opportunity to see it from MSG with the help of Amazon Music.”
Laura Lukanz, Amazon Music’s Head of Music Industry, UK, Australia & New Zealand, added: “We are very excited to bring the fans of The 1975 even closer to the band with this very special livestream of their Madison Square Garden concert. It’s a truly iconic venue and we’re proud to be part of such a momentous occasion in their career that will allow millions of fans from all over the world the opportunity to be a part of this unique show with them. We are passionate about creating meaningful experiences like this for Amazon Music customers worldwide. The 1975 are a defining band of their time and we are thrilled to be collaborating with them on this unforgettable event.”
The two most prominent clients of Donda Sports are ending their affiliation with the agency in the aftermath of numerous hateful remarks made by its founder, Kanye West. In statements posted to each of their social media accounts on Tuesday evening, Boston Celtics wing Jaylen Brown and Los Angeles Rams defensive lineman Aaron Donald announced that they will terminate their partnerships with the agency.
Donald said in his statement that “our family” made the decision, and said that “the recent comments and displays of hate and antisemitism are the exact opposite of how we choose to live our lives and raise our children.”
Brown, meanwhile, published his statement and offered up an apology for his recent efforts to try and justify sticking with West in light of hateful remarks towards the Jewish community, spreading misinformation regarding the murder of George Floyd, and a number of other controversies. He then said that “after sharing in my conversations, I now recognize that there are times when my voice and my position can’t coexist in spaces that don’t correspond with my stance or my values” before revealing he is parting ways with the agency.
Brown was asked about his decision to stick with Donda Sports on Monday and said that “I don’t agree with everything that everybody does. Like I said, I don’t stand for any hurt, harm, or danger toward anybody, but sometimes people need unconditional love and help to get them through the situation.” A number of organizations that have long been affiliated with West, like CAA and adidas, have terminated partnerships with him in recent weeks.
Special effects have evolved so much since the infancy of cinema. But sometimes doing things the old-fashioned way is best. Just ask the cast of Avatar: The Way of Water. The 2009 original was a game-changer in terms of digital tech, and presumably the belated sequel will be, too. But there’s one aspect that’s completely real: Some of the cast spent the shoot holding their breath under water for real. In fact, it turned into something of a competition.
A new piece by The New York Times delves into the cast effectively trying to one-up Tom Cruise, who regularly risk his life to entertain the masses. For Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation, he held his breath underwater for over six minutes. Kate Winslet, who plays a Na’vi, essentially told him to hold her beer: On Avatar 2, she did it for seven minutes, breaking his record. Sigourney Weaver, who plays a teenage Pandora native, did it for six-and-a-half.
Then there’s Zoe Saldaña. “I’m very competitive, but we had an Oscar-winning actress in our cast that did seven minutes,” the actress, returning as Na’vi warrior Neytiri. “I got almost up to five minutes. That’s a big accomplishment, you guys.”
Cameron agreed. “Five minutes is huge,” he said.
It’s partly thanks to Cameron having his cast train with “the world’s best breath-hold specialists,” all so he could film lengthy underwater takes without having to cut. When asked, What’s gained from doing it for real?”, Cameron had a snappy retort.
“Oh, I don’t know, maybe that it looks good? Come on!” Cameron replied. “You want it to look like the people are underwater, so they need to be underwater. It’s not some gigantic leap — if you were making a western, you’d be out learning how to ride a horse. I knew Sam was a surfer, but Sig and Zoe and the others weren’t particularly ocean-oriented folks. So I was very specific about what would be required, and we got the world’s best breath-hold specialists to talk them through it.”
So there you have it. Digital effects are great and all, but an army of techies pounding away at computers will never be as impressive as the star of Hideous Kinky holding her breath for the length of a prog rock song.
When We Were Young Fest attendees have been going through a whirlwind of emotions, whether from the cancelation of the first day of the festival or the exciting success of the second day. It’s happening again this weekend, except a new announcement was made about a lineup switch: Avril Lavigne will no longer be playing, and Death Cab For Cutie will be added, along with the rock band Underoath.
“We are excited to share that Death Cab For Cutie and Underoath have been added to Sat’s lineup.LFG,” the festival’s social media account tweeted. “We had the best time on Sun with @AvrilLavigne. Due to unforeseen circumstances, she is unable to join us on Oct 29th of WWWY. We will miss you Avril!” No specific reason was mentioned.
Set Times for this Saturday!

Before the festival began, Blink-182’s Matt Skiba scared attendees by comparing it to Fyre Fest. “But that festival — initially, they announced all those bands playing before anybody said yes,” he said. “It was a Fyre Festival kind of stunt that worked. And I only know that because my band was on that initial flyer, with every other band from our whole ilk. And they almost expertly started advertising it before they had a single band on the bill. And somehow, all the bands agreed to do it. I’m not making this up.”
Whether the true GOAT of the NBA is Michael Jordan or LeBron James is a controversial subject. Besides the fact that it’ll likely be Steph Curry by the time he retires, everyone seems to have an opinion. Those opinions run so deep and are so passionate that we’ll likely never have a consensus. But can we find a common ground by figuring out who is the GOAT of the celebrity tequila? It just so happens that they both have a brand.
To find out who is the true GOAT of celebrity tequila (with all due respect to Kendall Jenner) I grabbed a bottle of Jordan’s Cincoro Reposado and blind-tasted it side-by-side with LeBron James’ Lobos 1707 Reposado. This is a one-on-one, mano-a-mano showdown of luxe tequilas that you can actually find.
Once I blind-tasted each of these tequilas, I ranked them according to the depth of flavor, deliciousness, and whether or not I actually wanted to drink them after this tasting. Shall we get into it? Let’s figure out which of these tequilas is a… slam dunk (I’m so sorry).

While Jordan is a co-founder and co-owner of this brand, the actual tequila comes from NOM 1438, Destiladora del Valle de Tequila (Casa Maestri) in Tequila, Mexico, which makes 165 (!) other brands currently. Cincoro’s Reposado is aged for eight to 10 months in ex-Tennessee whiskey barrels, which far exceeds the two months of aging required to be called a “reposado.” Once those barrels hit the right mark, they’re batched, proofed with local well water, and bottled in one of the tallest glass bottles you’ll find.

Blind Tasting Notes:
There’s a clear and rich sense of slow-roasted agave piñas on the nose with a slight note of caramelization next to soft vanilla pods (almost like a pudding), sour cherries, spiced holiday cake (clove, anise, and cinnamon heavy), and a dusting of white pepper powder. The palate is lush with a tapioca pudding vibe next to creme brûlée with burnt white sugar, a hint of cinnamon and nutmeg, and plenty of caramelization. The mid-palate has a dark cacao waxiness that leads to mashed roasted agave with a slightly sour edge next to vanilla tobacco leaves rolled into an old cedar box with a hint of sour buttercream lurking underneath.
Bottom Line:
This was really freaking nice. It was complex yet approachable. There was a mild American whiskey vibe on the palate that complimented the roasted agave and white pepperiness of it all. I can easily see sipping this on some rocks or making a killer tequila old fashioned with it.
Diego Osorio, acclaimed Spanish actor and documentarian, is the founder of Lobos 1707. King James came on a little later as a shareholder/ambassador. The juice is from NOM 1460, Compañia Tequilera de Arandas, S.A. de C.V. in the Highlands of Jalisco, which makes 42 other brands of tequila. The spirit initially rests for six months in American white oak before it’s blended with Lobos 1707 Extra Añejo and re-barreled into Spanish Pedro Ximénez sherry casks that Osorio sourced himself. Once the tequila is just right, it’s small batched, proofed, and bottled, creating a marriage of Spain and Mexico in the bottle.

Blind Tasting Notes:
This opens with a rich salted caramel note next to dark chocolate-covered coffee beans, slow-roasted agave with a good caramelization, plenty of white pepper, and a mix of cinnamon bark and allspice with this twinge of sour cream on the nose. The palate leans into that roasted agave with a hint of sour mulled wine full of star anise, allspice, and cinnamon with a slightly honeyed sweetness next to woody tobacco leaves. The end has a sense of waxy dark cacao nibs layered into that tobacco and packed into an old cedar box with a dash of white pepper next to dried red chili peppers over creamy yet slightly sour creamed cottage cheese with a slight hint of caramelized pineapple.
Bottom Line:
This is also pretty freaking great. The tequila has a lush texture that’s accented by seriously deep flavor notes and enticing aromas. It’s super easy to sip and really delivers a well-rounded tequila experience. I can also see this crushing an old fashioned application or on a rock or two as a slow sipper.
Final Thoughts
Zach Johnston
I have to give the edge to Lobos 1707 here. There’s just a richer and slightly more complex flavor profile. That said, these are shockingly similar sips of reposado tequila. We’re talking about splitting some serious hairs here. Full disclosure, I had my wife pour these again and I fully re-tasted them blind one more time just to try and find something to raise one above the other. It was there but you had to be looking for more depth to find it.
If you’re passively just looking for and drinking good reposado, then Lobos 1707 really is the play. This didn’t factor into the blind ranking at all, but it is half the price of Cincoro too. Just sayin’.
Just as often as TikTok is a platform of discovery, turning people on to products, foods, and hacks that can be life altering, or you know, possibly poisonous, the platform sometimes seems to collectively discover a thing that has always existed, and it’s truly a joy to watch a bunch of people marvel over a thing that much of the world already knows about.
Most recently, the people of TikTok seem to have discovered the wonderful world of dessert wines, specifically Taylor Port Wine.
If you’re not familiar with port wine, it’s essentially an incredibly rich and sumptuous form of fortified wine that packs some serious alcohol content. Think of port wine as the bridge between the easy-to-drink and relaxing vibes of your favorite beer or bottle of red or white wine, and the harder spirits like whiskey and tequila. Taylor Port Wine — which was founded in 1692, long before anyone could’ve ever conceived of TikTok — in particular packs about 20% ABV, nearly double the alcohol content of your average bottle of red wine, which isn’t exactly strong but packs a much more powerful punch than a casual wine drinker would expect from a bottle of “wine.”
Add to that the fact that a typical pour of port wine is something like three ounces, which not a single user on TikTok seems to be aware of because just about all of the people who have embarked on the Taylor Port Wine challenge serve the drink in a typical wine glass.
As you might imagine, TikTok users reviewing the wine are in for all sorts of surprises, like getting absolutely sh*tfaced after a single glass. There is nothing quite as funny as someone underestimating the power of a bottle of alcohol, resulting in some truly hilarious videos. This doesn’t seem nearly as dangerous as other recent TikTok trends, and it’s probably resulting in some good business for Taylor, but the best thing about this is that now more people will know about fortified wines.
Next step, sherry! Pretty soon everyone on TikTok is going to be talking like Frasier, which will make the world a much more humorous place. Check out some of the best videos from the Taylor Port Wine challenge below and go and grab yourself a bottle. But go easy, unless you want to wake up with a head-splitting hangover.
Earlier this month, Jimmy Kimmel promised an up-and-coming comedian that he would grant her her late-night TV debut. That stand-up was Ariel Elias, and she more than earned the gig. Why? Because she got a beer can thrown at her by a Trump supporter during a set. She had the perfect reaction to the incident, and sure enough, Kimmel and his team came through.
On Monday night, Elias — who became the latest comic to be attacked on-stage, after Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle — strutted out on the stage of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, after the host told the crowd to “not throw your beers,” of course. It was her network debut, and it gave the comic a chance to show off her stuff.
Elias talked growing up Jewish in Kentucky, where her progressive parents forbade her from dating anyone who wasn’t a member of the tribe. (“We live in Kentucky. My choices are my dad or my brother. That’s it. Which in Kentucky is fine. But they’re just not my type.”) She talked having low confidence and body issues. (“I got food poisoning one time, and my first thought when I got food poisoning was, I can’t wait to weigh myself.”) She talked about not being afraid to have kids in a world where they might suffer: “But I think kids should suffer.”
Elias was performing in Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey in early October when the incident that got her the Kimmel gig happened. She was bantering with the audience, one of whom asked if she voted for Trump. Things escalated to the point where the woman said, “I can tell by your jokes that you voted for Biden.” Elias snapped back, “I can tell by the fact that you’re still talking when nobody wants you to that you voted for Trump.”
Seconds later, the woman’s husband chucked a beer can at her. Luckily he had bad aim. After recovering from the shock, Elias picked up the can and chugged what remained, earning applause from the crowd and, eventually online fame.
And now you can watch Elias perform on Kimmel in the video above.
