Netflix announces deal to buy Warner Bros. and HBO Max for $72B, combining 2 of the 3 largest streamers under one roof. I really can’t handle another HBO logo change. Should’ve been Blockbuster.
LeBron’s streak of 10+ points was snapped after 1,297 games, as he gives up the final shot to assist on a game-winning 3. The last time LeBron didn’t score 10 points, we were still cranking to magazines. Where does the time go?
1.5 million bags of shredded cheese have been recalled from stores like Walmart, Target and Aldi for possibly containing metal pieces. Really glad I ate 11 pounds of mac and cheese at Thanksgiving. I must be 20% metal now.
The first anti-aging pill for dogs just got FDA approval, as the company Loyal has cleared important regulatory hurdles. Air Bud may have a longer career than Tom Brady. The entire dog community is now on watch.
2026 FIFA World Cup draw happens today in DC, the first milestone before this summer’s tournament in the US, Canada and Mexico. Time to hammer some odds boosts on BetMGM (USA is easy money) before it even begins.
Another week is in the books as we stray further from God’s light. Spotify Wrapped thinks we’re old. Guy Fieri’s quad exploded. Tarantino HATES Paul Dano. We broke all of that down and more with our good friends Dan and Chris Powers on the podcast this week. Watch it on YouTube or give it a listen on Spotify and Apple.
PS - thanks for making our podcast a top 10% video podcast on Spotify this year. Big things coming in 2026. Joe Rogan is on watch.
THIS RACCOON JUST GET IT
Now, I come across a lot of stories in my research for every newsletter (scrolling Twitter for 12 hours a day) but yesterday I saw a headline that made me stop in my tracks: a drunk raccoon was found passed out in a Virginia liquor store bathroom the day after Thanksgiving. This little booze bag broke in to an ABC, chugged multiple bottles of liquor, smashed up the store in a ‘drunken rampage’ and fell asleep next to the toilet.
Been there, brother.
This might be my spirit animal
Look, I full get it. The holidays can be tough, especially for a raccoon clearly battling some demons like this man. It can’t be easy when your raccoon cubs want to spend the day with your ex-wife and her jacked new raccoon boyfriend who used to be her trainer. Staring down the barrel of spending the day alone in his sad, divorced-guy den and eating Thanksgiving from the trash, he did what anyone would do: hit the town, do some light B&E, and get absolutely bombed. Can’t blame the guy.
Just makes me sad he did all this alone. Pick up the phone and call me next time. This sounds like my ideal Friday night and I’d love to join you.

WHAT ELSE IS GOOD
Man who voiced Frosty the Snowman outed by son for having 3 secret families. Wild that a voice acting salary used to be able to support multiple families. Take me back.
This is as good of a time as any to bring back my all-time favorite comic
A 25 year old rapper named Toosii is going back to college to play football for Syracuse, the first double-platinum recording artist to play D1 football. Fuck it, I got 4 years of eligibility left and am willing to buy beer for freshmen. Someone sign me.
The 58 year old D3 lineman will always be my hero
A Chinese theater is letting people bring their pets to Zootopia 2. They better let us bring our massive, predatory pet snakes to Anaconda when it comes out on Christmas. Fafnir needs to feed on fresh kill at least twice a month to be fully satiated.
I’m joking btw. To me, all snake owners are like Sid from Toy Story (deragatory.)
McDonald’s announces their new Grinch meal, which features your choice of 4 collectible sock options and a side of Grinch salt. It better taste like him. I’ll know.
Am i missing something or is this just a normal meal with pickle flavored salt? Give us a fully green meal and a side of rare Who roast beef or I will Jan. 6 the McDonald’s HQ. That’s a promise.
Who was today's Hump Day Hero?
WHO’S SECRETLY SOBER? 4 HIGH VS. 1 PLACEBO
Your fearless newsletter writer got high on camera for all of your enjoyment. Or did I???? Guess you’ll just have to watch the full video (you really should, it’s hilarious. Shoutout to Nelson - he truly went through it here.)
STUFF TO CLICK WHEN YOU’RE BORED
The biggest reveal in the 50 Cent Diddy Doc had nothing to do with freak-offs but everything to do with Diddy probably being responsible for Tupac AND Biggie’s death?? All-time piece of shit.
Read this on your lunch break: Plot Isn’t as Important to Great TV as You Think.
This was an incredible deep dive on the state of the Internet in 2025. Great way to kill a couple hours this afternoon.
Loved this work of art from our Liam. Perfectly unhinged.
Beaver Edits have taken over my entire Reels feed and I’m not pissed about it at all. This one changed my life. PS - if someone could make one of these for hippos, I’d pay you handsomely.
It’s Friday and the 92 year anniversary of Prohibition ending. Let’s celebrate with the greatest ode to drinking of all time. Tie one off.
