Welcome to SNX DLX your weekly roundup of the best kicks to hit the internet and where to buy them. We’re a few days away from the first official day of summer so it’s time to ditch those pastel spring colors for something a bit more bold and flashy. Luckily, we’ve got a pretty good haul of sneaker drops this week which should keep us well supplied before the start of the season.

This is the first SNX in 2022 not to have a single Air Jordan on the ranking, that’s a big deal because it gives the chance for other silhouettes to shine, like this week’s Air Pegasus 83, or Nike’s new mid-rise take on the AF-1, or the new Mountain Research Reebok Club-C II all of which are great sneakers but probably would’ve been cut in favor of just about any Jordan 1, 3, or 5 that Nike decided to drop. We’ll never get tired of fire Jordans.

But enough about what’s not dropping this week, let’s dive into what’s hot.

Nike Air Pegasus 83 Mineral Clay and Fossil Stone/Off Noir

Nike’s vintage ’80s runner returns this week with two new colorways, an earth-toned design dubbed Mineral Clay and Fossil Stone, and a moody pair in the beloved Off Noir scheme. This ’20s version of the sneaker features premium construction with a tumbled leather, suede, and canvas upper while retaining accents from the original like the rubber waffle outsole and large tonal swoosh.

While the sneaker was originally designed for trail runners, this newer iteration looks more geared toward the streetwear scene.

The Air Pegasus 83 in Mineral Clay and Fossil Stone and Off-Noir are out now for a retail price of $100. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app.

Kasina x Nike Air Max 1 Won-Ang

It may not look it but, these are the most romantic sneakers to release all year. The design, made in collaboration with the Seoul-based streetwear brand, Kasina, is inspired by ceremonial Wedding duck carvings meant to symbolize unity and love. The two colorways are tonal contrasts with translucent outsoles, pony hair texture on the upper, soft suede paneling, and embroidered duck, rose, and swoosh graphics.

Rounding out the design are Kasina branding at the tongue and more duck graphics under the sole.

It’s probably the only two pairs of matching sneakers a couple could rock without coming across as corny.

The Nike Air Max 1 x Kasina Won-And is out now for a retail price of $160. Pick up both pairs via the Nike SNKRS app.

Nike Air Max 95 Cobblestone

It feels like the intense love for the Air Max 95 in the streetwear scene is finally starting to wane, so if you haven’t picked up a pair yet act fast before Nike starts ignoring this silhouette and dropping it in wack colorways.

The Cobblestone features a worn gray upper monochromatic gray upper composed of suede with nubuck leather overlays over a clean white midsole with vintage Air Max branding at the tongue.

The Nike Air Max 95 Cobblestone is out now for a retail price of $190. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app.

Nike Air Force 1 Mid Chocolate/Venice

This season Nike has been showing a lot of love to the mid-rise Air Force 1 and we’re loving it. The AF-1 is one of Nike’s most popular sneakers, so much so that the streetwear is saturated in the classic design. The mid offers something a bit different, but still familiar, and this week it drops in two new colorways — Chocolate and Venice.

Both shoes remind me a bit of chocolate and strawberry milkshakes, the Chocolate features a creamy midsole and swoosh with a mocha-toned leather upper, while the Venice sports a velvety baby pink upper with a white swoosh and midsole. We’ll raise an ice-cold milkshake glass to the season of the Mid!

The Nike Air Force 1 Mid Chocolate and Venice are set to drop on June 9th for a retail price of $150. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app.

Adidas Yeezy Foam RNNR Onyx

It’s summer sandal season, so it’s no surprise that Ye is going hard on the Foam RNNRs. This week brings the dark stone-colored Onyx. This run of Foam RNNRs is being dropped in full sizes only, with Yeezy Supply suggesting that all between sizes should round up a size for the best fit.

The Adidas Yeezy Foam RNNR Onyx is out now for a retail price of $90. Pick up a pair via Yeezy Supply or the Adidas CONFIRMED app.

Adidas Yeezy BSKTBL KNIT Slate Azure

The Yeezy BSKTBL KNIT returns this week in an eye-catching Slate Azure colorway. It’s simultaneously muted and vibrant and contains echoes of the highly anticipated Yeezy 700 High Res Blue that is set to drop this month.

Maybe this is a sign that Ye is going to be utilizing this particularly saturated shade of blue in more designs this summer, to which we say, bring it on, Ye! It’s the best thing he’s done all year. Make sure you order 1/2 size up from your normal sneaker size if you plan on copping a pair.

The Adidas YZY BSKTBL KNIT in Slate Azure is set to drop on June 10th for a retail price of $300. Pick up a pair via Yeezy Supply or the Adidas Confirmed App.

Mountain Research x Reebok Club C II Mid

Japanese streetwear label Mountain Research and Reebok have linked up for a wild reimagining of the Club C Mid II. The design features a removable shroud, meant to recall Reebok’s original Club C perforated tongue reimagined as cricket pats, but keeps the design in its classic white and blue colorway.

It’s a tasteful reimagining that manages to push the classic design and make it feel fresh.

The Mountain Research x Reebok Club C II Mid is set to drop on June 10th for a retail price of $140. Pick up a pair via Mountain Research. A wide release is set to follow on June 17th on the official Reebok webstore.

Nike Air Presto Hello Kitty

The Hello Kitty-branded Nike Air Presto is finally getting an SNKRS release this weekend. This sneaker looks pretty much exactly like what you want a Hello Kitty sneaker to look like, featuring an all-over graphic with cartoon insoles and Hello Kitty’s iconic bow at the tongue.

The heel features Hello Kitty’s adorable mouthless face, winning the award for cutest heel panel of the year. That’s not a real award but who cares. More sneakers should strive to be cute.

It’s the only way you’re going to get your shoes to look like a Sanrio character, which is a thing people want right?

The Nike Air Presto Hello Kitty is set to drop on June 10th for a retail price of $140. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app.

Kindergarten is one of the most formative experiences in a child’s life. Not only do they learn there how to navigate the tricky world of friendships and the seeds of independence, they also start their education journey. All of that is made extra special if they have a teacher who really loves them. When you’re a kindergarten teacher, you know that you have the power to make a serious impact, and that shouldn’t be taken lightly. A retired kindergarten teacher is warming hearts on TikTok as people learn just how great that impact is.

In the video, shared by user Kim Hamilton (the daughter of said teacher), the woman, who is identified in the comments as Mrs. Pearson, is sitting on her porch when a girl in a cap and gown shows up at the gate. “Congratulations!” Mrs. Pearson calls out, waving. Soon, she realizes that the young girl isn’t alone.

---

“What’s happening?” she asks her daughter, who can be heard chuckling behind the camera.

“They’re your kindergarteners,” Hamilton replies, as kids in caps and gowns start filing through the gate.

“Did you know this was happening?!” Pearson asks, the shock and joy clearly evident on her face.

“Oh my gosh, I love you all! Look at you!” she exclaims as she runs over to the kids.

Hamilton explains to her that these kids, clearly high school graduates, are the last group of kindergarten students Pearson taught before retiring. As each one of them comes into the gate, the joy on Pearson’s face grows exponentially. It’s clear that these kids were her babies, and even though now they’re all grown up and going off to college, they’ll always have that special place in her heart.

“Oh my god, you’re all just gorgeous!” she says, giving each one a hug.

The kids are just as happy to see their beloved Mrs. Pearson as she is to see them. They eagerly shuffle together to pose for a picture as she just stops and looks at them, taking it all in. Presumably, she hasn’t seen them much in the approximately 12 years since she retired. Maybe they’ve seen each other around—as a kid, I loved running into my teachers outside of school. I still do. But the fact that these kids showed up to see her, to allow her to celebrate her integral role in their lives, that’s really special. And I’m not the only one who thinks so.

Here are just a handful of the comments people left on Hamilton’s video:

“Proof they never stop being our kids after they leave us.”

“The love she showed and was shown, she must have been one heck of a teacher 💕”

“I started crying when your mom did.”

“Love this! ❤ I teach kindergarten and only hope my students will remember me like this! She must have been extraordinary!”

“Literally teachers like HER are the reasons I still talk to my teachers from middle school, HS & college🥺 good teachers are so special”

Watch the video below and try not to cry.

For the last year-plus, there’s been this crazy rumor going around that Rob Zombie, metal god-turned-filmmaker of hard-R nightmares like The Devil’s Rejects, was making a movie of The Munsters, the beloved ‘60s sitcom about lovable, benign monsters. What’s more, it would be a family-friendly affair, nothing like his unspeakably intense contributions to the Halloween franchise. Last fall, Zombie shared a behind-the-scenes photo, proving that this incredible thing was real. And now there’s a teaser to show, no, really, Rob Zombie made a nice-looking Munsters movie.

Indeed, Zombie is so serious about recreating the good vibes of the original show, which ran for a mere two seasons in the mid-‘60s, that the majority of the teaser simply recreates the show’s opening credits. It’s even in black-and-white! The big difference is the new cast: Jeff Daniel Philips as Frankenstein’s creature lookalike Herman Munster, Sheri Moon Zombie as vampiric Lily Munster, and Daniel Roebuck as her dad, the one known as Grandpa. The footage shifts to color for its final moments, in case you thought Zombie would be fully faithful to the original.

Of course, it’s still a typical Rob Zombie in some ways. He didn’t cast big stars. Instead, he stuck with regulars, including his wife, who’s appeared in all of his films. Will they be a bickering family, shouting and yelling as they so frequently do in Zombie’s films? Or will it really be one of those improbably nice films from an extreme artist, like that time David Lynch made an incredibly nice and lovely G-rated movie about Richard Farnsworth riding a lawnmower cross country? We’ll found out later this year when the movie is released.

You can watch the teaser for Rob Zombie’s The Munsters above.

What on earth would it look like for Donald Trump to actually been grilled by investigators? The former president has spent his entire life avoiding any kind of punishment for his actions. What’s more, he has, shall we say, issues with telling the truth, unless he accidentally blurts it out. Perhaps the general public may find out what a testifying Trump looks like: As per Mediaite, he and his children Don Jr. and Ivanka have all agreed to sit down for video depositions for New York State Attorney Letitia James’ office.

Since 2019, James and her team have been involved in a civil investigation into the Trump organization’s business practices. Trump hasn’t liked that one bit, and he’s sued to make it stop, without any luck. The investigation has already cost him money: After failing to produce requested materials, including cellphones he claimed he lost, he had to fork over $10,000 a day for weeks until the self-professed rich guy successfully begged them to stop.

For both Don Jr. and Ivanka, testifying is no big deal; they’ve even squealed to the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot. But Donald Trump is a whole other kettle of fish. CNN’s Gloria Borger talked to his former attorneys, and she says they “never wanted him to testify because they’re afraid. They’re afraid that he would not be completely truthful by testifying.” As such, she believes his current lawyers should be “a little nervous” about getting their client in any position in which he could perjure himself.

Of course, Donald could just take a tip from his son Eric and plead the Fifth early and often.

Not everyone who drinks beer has a life-changing epiphany. Some of us just drink a delicious, crisp, well-made beer and think about ordering another. But there are those select few who decide — after a truly special brew — to learn not only how to make said beer but to perfect it and even (dare to dream!) improve it. Or at least brew their own version of it.

Dan Lipke, head brewer at Clown Shoes Brewing in Boston had his big moment when he realized that beer could have complex, nuanced aromas and flavors and didn’t have to just be cheap, flavorless, fizzy water.

“We had been drinking beer without thinking much about the flavor, more for the price point, when we decided to make our own in part, I admit, to cut costs,” he says. “But when we tried the IPA that we made from a kit with toasted oak chips and all, we were amazed that a beer could actually taste so complex and delicious. The idea that we could create our own beer recipes was mind-blowing and what hooked me into wanting to brew as a career. I can still taste that IPA out of a frosted mug on a summer day.”

Other brewers tasted specific well-known beers that made them want to get into brewing. Since we find this concept of a single sip completely changing the course of someone’s life fascinating, we decided to ask some well-known craft beer experts, brewers, and beer professionals to tell us the one beer that did it for them. Keep scrolling to see them all.

Maybe you’ll try one or more and decide to quit your job and open a microbrewery in your garage, too!

Port City Porter

Mike Kelly, senior brewer at Harpoon Brewery in Boston

ABV: 7.2%

Average Price: $12 for a six-pack

Why This Beer?

Port City Porter – This was one of the first craft porters I ever had and was blown away by the caramel and toffee malt sweetness with a huge chocolate nose and a hint of roasted coffee. This is one of the first beers that really sparked my imagination about how these beers are made, and if I could ever replicate it.

Bell’s Two-Hearted Ale

Thomas Reese, brewer at Ghost Harbor Brewing Co. in Elizabeth City, North Carolina

ABV: 7%

Average Price: $10.99 for a six-pack

Why This Beer?

Bell’s Two Hearted Ale from Bell’s Brewery in Michigan. What flavors made it so great and memorable? I loved this beer so much that I decided to brew a clone of it at home. I was obsessed with the grapefruit and pine flavor of the beer. I brewed countless batches as a homebrewer trying to replicate the flavor and balance of Two Hearted. Although IPA flavor trends have changed over the years this is still one of my favorites.

Unertl Original Weissbier

David Ringler, director of happiness at Cedar Springs Brewing Company in Cedar Springs, Michigan

ABV: 4.8%

Average Price: Limited Availability

Why This Beer?

Unertl Original Weissbier is a 4th generation family-owned wheat beer brewery, located just east of Munich that has a cult-like following and was an instant ‘Wow!’ experience in my youth. This is the beer that inspired me to brew professionally. It has the classic cove and banana flavors weissbier fans crave.

Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA

Eric Martens, founder and owner at Border Brewing Company in Kansas City, Missouri

ABV: 9%

Average Price: $9.50 for a four-pack

Why This Beer?

The beer that most impacted my brewing style and made me want to get into beer is Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA. The thing I like about it so much is its balance. The balance between malt and hop flavor, a balance between sweet and bitter, a balance between that alcoholic ‘burn’ and malt sweetness. In a world of IPAs that can be perceived as too bitter (often West Coast IPAs) or too sweet/filling (often hazy/milkshake/etc. IPAs), this one just hits the nail on the head for me in many ways.

3 Floyds Gumballhead

Kevin Smolar, production and quality lab manager at Sun King Brewery in Indianapolis

ABV: 5.6%

Average Price: $11.99 for a six-pack

Why This Beer?

3 Floyds Gumballhead. I grew up near the 3 Floyds brewery when it was in Hammond, Indiana, and their beer was some of the first craft beer I was exposed to. Gumballhead is a hoppy American wheat beer that appeals to new and seasoned beer drinkers alike. There’s a beautiful balance between the sweet wheat and citrusy hops that made me question everything I knew about beer the first time I tried it. I was curious how something like that was created and it led me down the rabbit hole of brewing.

To this day, it is still one of my favorite beers.

Stone Sublimely Self Righteous

Charles McManus, head brewer at Phantom Canyon Brewing Company in Colorado Springs, Colorado

ABV: 8.7%

Average Price: $17.50 for a six-pack

Why This Beer?

Sublimely Self Righteous from Stone Brewing made a big impact on me back in my homebrewing days. I loved how the roasted malt character and grapefruit hop character worked together in what was then a strange concept: Black IPA. I spent a lot of time trying to clone this beer at home and still pick up a bottle or six-pack if I see this in the local liquor stores.

Victory Hop Devil

Kyle Park, director of marketing at Neshaminy Creek Brewing Co. in Croydon, Pennsylvania

ABV: 6.7%

Average Price: $9.99 for a six-pack

Why This Beer?

It’s a fairly common answer around here, but Victory Hop Devil seems to have jump-started an entire generation of craft beer folks. The bitterness was really what made it stand out from the rest of the swill I was drinking in college and made me curious about what actually went into the beer and what other styles were out there.

Luckily, we were spoiled in the Philadelphia area even back then, so I had plenty of options to dive into.

Samuel Smith’s Winter Welcome

Chris Elliott, chief brewing officer at Wild Leap Brew Co. in LaGrange, Georgia

ABV: 6%

Average Price: $9.99 for a six-pack

Why This Beer?

The beer that started it all for me was Samuel Smith’s Winter Welcome. I would wait for it to come out every year and buy cases of it, and I would slowly ration it because it was pretty expensive (for a college kid). When I received a homebrew kit as a gift, I walked into my local homebrew shop and asked if I could make a “clone” of the beer. The owner told me I can make any beer I could think of, and I was instantly a brewer. I think my first 5-10 homebrews were all variations of Winter Welcome until I perfected my recipe, and I became obsessed with cloning all of my favorite beers. In no time I was making more beer than I could ever drink alone, and I became the homebrewing weirdo that showed up at parties with cases of beer that I brewed.

Gordon Biersch Märzen

Douglas Hasker, head brewer at Puesto Cerveceria in San Diego

ABV: 5.7%

Average Price: $10.50 for a six-pack

Why This Beer?

Märzen, Gordon Biersch Brewing Company. This copper-colored German-style Lager was the first choice for many beer lovers in the early ’90s. It is considered an original Oktoberfest bier with noble hops and five different specialty malts which are made for a rich, and slightly caramel-tasting lager. It is a smooth and very drinkable beer today, though since then, I’ve graduated to the lighter style lagers as I get older.

Anchor Steam Ale

Marshall Hendrickson co-founder and head of operations at Veza Sur Brewing Co. in Miami

ABV: 4.9%

Average Price: $9.99 for a six-pack

Why This Beer?

Anchor Brewing Co. Anchor Steam. Growing up in San Francisco, my parents always had the fridge stocked with Anchor Steam. It was one of the first beers I ever tried, and to this day tastes like home! I’ll always have a place in my heart for Anchor Steam. It, with its mix of toasty, caramel malts, and floral hops, was the reason I got into brewing in the first place.

Sprecher Abbey Triple

Chris Wittemann, area sales at Sprecher Brewing in Glendale, Wisconsin

ABV: 8.4%

Average Price: $11.99 for a six-pack

Why This Beer?

Sprecher Abbey Triple. I started in the beer industry when I was seventeen working at the Miller Distributor in Milwaukee. The very first craft beer I ever tried was Sprecher Abbey Triple when I was in college and never looked back. It was so complex compared to anything I had ever tried before. The aroma, the barley, and the notes of banana/clove were all things I was unfamiliar with at the time. I became an instant Belgian fan. Fast forward to where I am at today, I love and appreciate all styles of beer. I tend to drink more on the hoppy/bitter side but have a special place in my heart for German-style Lagers which is what makes working at Sprecher so much more rewarding.

Billy Eichner’s upcoming rom-com Bros is expected to be unlike anything you’ve ever seen, not because it stars Eichner as a podcaster (which is a little strange for him, to be fair) but because it features LGBTQ actors in every major role.

“Honestly, I think it makes the movie better because we all bring our lived experiences as LGBTQ people who had to navigate the world,” Eichner told Variety while on the MTV Movie & TV Awards red carpet. Eichner believes that this is just the beginning of queer representation in media.

“So often in Hollywood, a lot of the great LGBTQ roles historically have gone to straight actors, and they win awards for it. And they get a lot of acclaim and they use it to show people their range,” Eichner added. “And the casting of Bros is not to say that straight should only play straight and gay should only play gay. We’re not making strict rules like that. But what we’re trying to do is, we’re trying to correct an imbalance.”

Eichner is right, many acclaimed actors won their Academy Awards portraying LGBTQ roles (Sean Penn, Tom Hanks, Hilary Swank…the list goes on). “It’s about equity,” Eichner, who co-wrote and stars in Bros added. “It’s about showing people, it’s great that a straight actor can win an Oscar for playing gay, but look how funny and hilarious and warm and delightful LGBTQ actors can be in a wide variety of roles that we don’t normally get to play.”

Bros is directed by Nicholas Stoller from his screenplay that was co-written with Eichner, starring Luke Macfarlane, Ts Madison, Monica Raymund, Guillermo Díaz, Guy Branum, Bowen Yang, and Amanda Bearse. The film is produced by Judd Apatow, Stoller, and Joshua Church and is executive produced by Eichner. Bros will hit theaters on September 30th.

Hulu’s boxing biopic Mike doesn’t have a scene where the titular character talks to his penis voiced by Jason Mantzoukas (probably?), but it’s going for the same character study tone as Pam and Tammy. The limited series hails from I, Tonya writer Steven Rogers and stars Trevante Rhodes (who gave an Oscar-worthy performance in Moonlight) as Mike Tyson, arguably the most famous living boxer. He’s inarguably the most controversial for incidents both in and out of the ring; Mike will explore his “dynamic and controversial story” over the course of eight episodes.

You can watch the teaser trailer above. Here’s more:

Mike explores the dynamic and controversial story of Mike Tyson. The eight-episode limited series explores the tumultuous ups and downs of Tyson’s boxing career and personal life — from being a beloved global athlete to a pariah and back again. Focusing the lens on Mike Tyson, the series examines class in America, race in America, fame and the power of media, misogyny, the wealth divide, the promise of the American Dream and ultimately our own role in shaping Mike’s story.

Mike, which also stars Russell Hornsby, Harvey Keitel, Laura Harrier, and Li Eubanks, premieres on August 25. Here’s the pigeon-themed key art.

Just last month, Nick Cannon said he was ready to have a vasectomy because he didn’t want to “populate the Earth.” Well, apparently that was BS because he is about to be a Dad again, for the ninth time overall and the fifth time since 2021. And it might be another set of twins.

Cannon, who apparently has never met a sex and relationships podcast that he didn’t want to appear on, went on the Lip Service Podcast where he was asked about a claim that he may have as many as three babies on the way. With an ear-to-ear grin, the Wild N’ Out star said that, “The stork is on the way… If you thought the numbers that I put up in 2021 were something, wait ’til we get to 2022.”

When pressed about what had happened with the sex therapy and celibacy that he was trying out, he said that he, “Was probably celibate for a month and a half.” And that, just before Christmas, I started f*cking like crazy.”

His girlfriend, Abby De La Rosa, with whom he had twins in June of 2021, posted on Instagram that she was pregnant. And even insinuated that it could be another set of twins, commenting, “IM PREGNANT Another set of twins?! Follow me on ONLY FANS to find out more.”

Her baby (babies?) is due this October, so the math adds up for Cannon’s sexual reawakening. One thing’s for sure though: The man is nothing short of a legendary baby factory and is in fact, doing his part to populate the Earth.

For years, Hope Hicks has been Donald Trump’s trusted confidante and the source of numerous rumors about their particularly close working relationship. Her presence in Trump world predated his time in the White House where she would eventually serve as communications director. However, despite her loyalty to Trump, Hicks reportedly angered the former president during his final days in the Oval Office.

According to The Divider, a new book from journalists Peter Baker and Susan Glasser, Hicks did not believe Trump’s “Big Lie” that the 2020 election was stolen from him. In fact, Hicks told him to his face that she hasn’t seen any evidence to the contrary, and then proceeded to bounce. Via The New York Times:

One of the most striking realizations that emerged from the book research was how many people around Mr. Trump did not believe the election had been stolen but kept quiet or checked out, including White House officials and campaign aides. Hope Hicks, long one of his closest advisers, told him it was time to move on. “Well, Hope doesn’t believe in me,” Mr. Trump responded bitterly. “No, I don’t,” she replied. “Nobody’s convinced me otherwise.” She disappeared in the final weeks of the administration.

Hicks not falling for the “Big Lie” now makes two women in Trump’s inner circle who failed to stroke his ego. While promoting her own book, former White House advisor Kellyanne Conway revealed she also told Trump that he lost the election, which caused the former president to lash out on Truth Social. He disputed Conway’s claims by saying if she had told him that he lost, he would’ve sent her “back to her crazy husband.”

As for whether Trump will harshly react to Hick’s betrayal being revealed is, of course, a coin toss. You never know what’s going to set that guy off.

Succession certainly isn’t Brian Cox’s first Hollywood rodeo, but the show made him a household name. His turn as Logan Roy is so sublime that people (despite him marvelously pulling off the recreation of a Euphoria scene) associate him with the role to a fault. That’s why no one seems to be able to resist asking him to tell them to f*ck off.

Yeah, I feel that. Heck, I did the same thing to him as a side note when we were meant to be talking about Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman. And Cox puts up with this routine with (seemingly detached, in my observation) humor, but he let it be known during a Hollywood Reporter roundtable that the request is maybe getting a bit old. That’s the same roundtable where Sam Jackson revealed that his credit card ads are now more quotable than his MF-bombs, but at least Cox gets some love for the F-word.

Still, Cox would like everyone to at least consider the context or at least read the room before making the request:

“[I]t’s not the easiest thing to say to people. I mean, it started when I was playing L.B.J. in one of those theaters in New York. I came out one night and there was this young couple, very sweet, about 17, and they had a video and they said, ‘Could you tell us to f*ck off, please?’ I mean, it’s unbelievable. But the worst was here in L.A. when I went to a meeting for Ronan Farrow, a #MeToo thing. He was launching the book and all these Hollywood women were there and it was very intense. And I was standing at the back and then [the women] all turned around and saw me and they [pointed a] camera and said, ‘Can you tell us to f*ck off?’ I was like, ‘This is a #MeToo meeting, is this really proper to be asking me to tell you to f”ck off? And does that mean that I get canceled?”

A fair point! We can all take a step back and ask Brian Cox tell people to f*ck off at his own leisure. It’s time.
