I enjoy these Ryan George videos because he takes things that I’ve often spent far too much time wondering about and then actually makes something useful out of them because he’s, like, funny and stuff. Today, it’s the guy who invented the joke.

You’ll Probably Never Hear Bohemian Rhapsody Quite The Same Way Again
Here’s a neat video on the making of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody”. I remember covering this in music electronics class back in high school. We didn’t go into it in this much depth, but we went deep enough to understand that the thing is a freaking marvel. Not just because all of it was recorded in …

But That’s Exactly When We Need One
B.C. RCMP cancel Amber Alert after 2 children go missing
Fill My Cone Up To Here
I like the Tragically Hip well enough, but nowhere near as much as most people seem to. they’ve put out a good bit of stuff which, to my ear at least, kinda sucks, actually. Just because a song references Canada in some form doesn’t automatically make it good. This has been unpopular hot takes with …
Ok, But Why?
I love these old people. They seem so fun. And like them, I also enjoy the word “thooter”. It and “bop” were the only ones I was totally clueless on. It’s also comforting to know that even the kids think “cheugy” sounds stupid.
I Hate Them Plenty Already, But There’s Always Room For More
Remember the other day when I said, basically, that TKO is a terrible company filled with shameless assholes who only care about money and Donald Trump? This video is all of that laid out in great detail. Don’t let the 92 minute length or the focus on boxing scare you off, because if you care …

A Spiceknot Sounds Like A Sex Position, Doesn’t It?
Who doesn’t need a Slipknot and Spice Girls mashup on a Saturday morning? Nobody, that’s who! The “Hard to Handle” solo is also a nice touch. Music used in this mashup: Spice Girls – Wannabe Slipknot – Sulfur The Black Crowes – Hard to Handle
You Can’t Spell Bad Radio Without AI
Pretty sure I just ran into my first case of egregiously awful radio AI. Flipping around the dial and landed on Bounce Radio 99.5 Kitchener. Stayed there because I liked the song that was playing, which since I know someone will ask was “Don’t Wanna Fall In Love” by Jane Child. Song ends, and the …
We Can Yell If We Want To
This is pretty fun, and since it’s been a minute since I posted a neat cover and it’s going to be in my head all day now, here ya go. I also enjoyed the little plug song at the end.
I Had To Make Sure. You Know Those Politicians Lie About Everything
Soldier shoots dead politician he was guarding Contrary to the headline, the politician was in fact very much alive up until the shooting, which ended up being a murder-suicide. This is disappointing not just because murder-suicides are generally bad, but because I really wanted to know why the security guy hated the dude enough to …
