More than an uniquely annoying voice, Gilbert Gottfried was a comedian’s comedian and a comedy legend. RIP. Around two weeks after the attacks, one of the first big comedy events held in New York City was the Friar’s Club Roast of Hugh Hefner. Throughout the night, as funny as it was, there was also an […]
So, anybody watch the Oscars last night? 😉 “Fresh Prince of Bel Air Theme Song” – DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince
I find it hilarious that my wife wasn’t going to watch this wrestling-based TV series until Ben Mulroney of all people recommended it on the CTV Morning News! (Of course I also find it funny that Ben Mulroney is recommending this behind-the-scenes wrestling show which has lots of violence – as you’d expect – and […]
“It’s A Good Life (If You Don’t Weaken)” – The Tragically Hip with Feist
A comprehensive archive of every question ever in the history of Jeopardy is nerd-paradise. (Librarians are 14th in lifetime winnings by career-type though I’d like to see this graph on a per capita basis too.)

Ted Lasso is an unexpected hit AppleTV+ show which began as a series of promos to promote NBC Sports showing Premier League soccer. Those vignettes led to the character being developed and expanded into a 10-episode series of half-hour comedies which initially seems like a typical “fish out of water” story of an American football […]
Shea and I are hooked on “Yellowstone” right now and a big part of that is realising how many songs on the soundtrack are already part of the “Camping Faves” playlist we listen to non-stop every summer (including a few by Ryan Bingham who also stars in the show as a singing cowboy.) “Southside of […]
I’ve read a lot of articles and commentary about the attempted coup at the US Capitol a couple weeks ago but this might be my single most favourite thing to come out of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqIdnYxm_WM Doubly so for this remix (don’t normally link to Instagram but hard to find it on YouTube and Twitter – […]
