What a time to take 2 weeks off. While I was off galavanting in Italia (loosely translates to “Italy”) Waymos died for our sins, Boogie made a fan sniff sack, McKinsey pulled off the scam of the century & Hawk Tuah turned 1. Never taking a vacation again.
Back to our regularly scheduled programming. Missed you guys.
Israel strikes Iran’s nuclear sites and key military leaders, as the world waits for retaliation. You know it’s serious when the Pentagon pizza shops start to get busy. Buckle up.
US Open is underway at Oakmont, with JJ Spaun holding a 1 stroke lead. Gotta tip the cap to Patrick Reed for this albatross and JT for this putting performance. Looking like me out there, buddy (not complimentary.)
Elon says he ‘regrets’ tweets about Trump. Man, that ketamine come-down must’ve been brutal. Elon’s dad explained his behavior by saying Elon was ‘traumatized’ from his time in DC. Really? More traumatizing than this?
Mattel partners with OpenAI, plans to release new AI-powered toy this year. I’m sorry, what? Have you guys seen even one scary movie? A robot Barbie in the wrong hands is a genuinely terrifying thought.
Oilers storm back from 3 goal deficit to even the series at 2-2. No one deserves their first Cup more than Conor McDavid. Simply not human.
PS - don’t forget to tell us what we can be doing better (or keep doing well) for the second half of the year. Thank you to all who responded already. Love you guys.
1H 2025 RECAP: WHAT YOU CLICKED THE MOST
Believe it or not, we are almost halfway through 2025. Time flies when the world is burning.
For the next two weeks, in addition to our standard content, we’ll be breaking down some of the highlights of the last 6 months of news. Our first installment: which links you sick fucks clicked the most this year. Enjoy.
Thoughts and prayers to this pic that narrowly missed the top 10. Love is beautiful but doesn’t always get clicks. That’s just a lesson in life.
TOP 10 MOST CLICKED LINKS:
10 - Live Action Lilo’s Sister: Certified baddie, but still not as hot as cartoon Nani. But honestly, what human woman could be? No shame in that.
9- The Highlight of the Super Bowl: kickstarted the Year of Hathaway that led to her leading the Knicks to the conference finals. Dick Van Dyke level longevity.
8 - Baby pukes during NFL draft: natural reaction to your dad getting drafted by the Saints.
7 - Oprah’s Best Muncher: might be up there for tweet of the year (though this one is currently in the running.) We need another moon trip. Just for the memes.
6 - Cure for Balding?: if this is true, it could single-handedly destroy Turkey’s tourist economy. Pray for the Turks (and the Caicos.)
5 - Shannon Sharpe’s “Apology”: few things show true remorse like tweeting a screenshot of a statement that your lawyer sent you. Never change, Unc.
4 - Stefon Diggs Boat Video: this video taught us two important lessons: pink cocaine is a thing and Diggs is still a WR1. Valuable information to have in any situation.
3 - Morning Routine Guy: the beginning of Ashton Hall’s moment, which could have ended this week after iShowSpeed cooked him in a foot race 4x in a row. The brightest stars burn out the fastest.
2 - Kanye and Bianca at the Emmy’s: wild that this barely cracks his top 10 most insane moments of the year (he changed his name again btw.) Can’t wait to see what the rest of the year brings ❤
1 - Steve Smith Sexting Face: if there’s one thing that the good readers of the Daily Friday love, it’s publicly horny ex-athletes. That’s just what the data says.
DOC’S LOCKS

WHAT ELSE IS GOOD
KY man named ‘Cowboy Cody’ arrested for releasing a raccoon in a bar as revenge for getting banned following his 2nd drunken mule riding incident in 3 days. Still struggling to see any crime here. Free this man.
Who among us has not had a couple drunken mule/raccoon incidents? That’s not something you should be banned for.
Sydney Sweeney’s bathwater soaps are being resold on eBay for $2k+. Disgusting. Totally ruining the marketplace for those of us who have been syphoning her bathwater for years through a complicated series of underground pipes and blackmarket dealings.
Some of us have spent YEARS building our business, just to see Big Soap pull the carpet out from under us. It is becoming impossible to make an honest living in this country.
Detroit woman is booted from a Zoom court hearing after making a PB&J mid-call. If it was chunky peanut butter, she deserves jail time #teamsmooth
PS - how long are we gonna keep doing Zoom court hearings for? Let’s just do Zoom jail at this point.
Who You Buying a Beer For?
NEW AFTV JUST DROPPED
🚨DUVAL COUNTY MENTIONED🚨 Incredible performance by Eilise as always. Perhaps the greatest actor of our generation.
Come see more groundbreaking comedy LIVE and in person on July 18th in San Diego. Tickets are going fast: snag one while you can.
STUFF TO CLICK WHEN YOU’RE BORED TODAY
If anyone doubted the insane Maxx Crosby stories about Antonio Brown’s Raiders antics, look no further than today’s news. Full Glory Daze episode is even more electric. We are so back.
Read this on your lunch break: He’s a Master of Outrage on X. The Pay Isn’t Great.
RIP to Brian Wilson, beloved co-creator of the Beach Boys (and all-time troll.) Pet Sounds will go down in history, especially this classic.
Needed this full breakdown on why dads watch TV standing up. This is exactly the type of journalism missing in America today.
A full length Druski feature film featuring Theo Von and Shane Gillis may be exactly what it takes to drag me out of a lifelong depression spiral. That or medication and a combination of regular exercise and healthy diet. Either or.
It’s Friday. Let’s harness the energy of this fella getting a little sexy with it on a cruise karaoke for the next 48 hours. Have the best weekend of your lives 🤝
Last reminder to tell us what we can be doing better (or keep doing well.)
How Friday Was Today's Post?
