Mexico becomes first team to advance in World Cup after an all-time fuck up from the Korean goalie and an all-time save from the Mexican keeper. The Us could also advance today in their match against Australia, which everyone knows isn’t actually a real place. We should win by default.
Toy Story 5 opens with the franchise’s best ever previews, taking in $17.5M, good for the top spot for any movie in 2026. In other sequel news, a Grinch 2 is reportedly in development. They better have this dad write it.
Knicks championship parade has over 2 million attendees and almost too much content to even keep track off. Tyler Kolek has a case for police brutality, this guy went full Squints mode (actually an inspiring video,) and this video is simply remarkable. PS - if the Jets don’t sign this guy, we riot.
Jersey Mike’s officially takes down Chick-Fil-A as the top-rated fast-service restaurant in America, ending their 11 year run. Well done, Mr. Devito. Hoping this will be the kick in the ass Chick-Fil-A needs to open on Sundays.
Sunday is the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year for half the globe and official start to summer. Time to decide on the drink of the summer (it’s not any of these, it’s the Sidewalk Slammer), song of the summer (still waiting for a contender) and Summer of the Summer (she’s in an early lead.)

FATHER-SON DUOS THROUGHOUT HISTORY
It’s Father’s Day on Sunday (if you forgot to get a gift, snag one now) and it’s time to celebrate the most iconic Father-Son duos throughout history.
We broke this down on the podcast with Strider this week, but here are some favorites for your reading pleasure.
Bronny and Bronny Sr. was a tough snub, but had to happen. Maybe next year boys.
Tom and Chet Hanks: one is a cultural icon, artist and role model for positive modern masculinity. The other was in Pinocchio. Chet is doing the heavy-lifting here and Tom needs to step it up if they wanna stay on this list.
The Bushes: the political version of the Manning family, George HW Bush has spawned one president/painter, two investment bankers and one senator best known for asking people to clap. 3 out of 4 ain’t bad.
Jesus and God: the original nepo baby, Jesus built on his father’s legacy and created an entire New Testament, further expanding their publishing empire. The Bible wouldn’t be a top seller without him.
Oedipus and his Dad: becoming Eskimo brothers with your dad who you murdered (spoilers, sorry) and getting a psychological disorder named after you? CBTM.
The Hapsburgs: fuck democracy. I miss the days when a 10 year old with incest jaw was the king of the known world. GoT has nothing on real life.
The Alous: sorry to the Bonds, Griffeys, Boones and all the Jrs playing today, but the elite MLB father has gotta be Felipe Alou, who had 3 sons get drafted in the MLB: Moises (6x All-Start) Luis Rojas (became the Mets manager) and Felipe Jr (drafted by the Royals) after an All-Star career in the ‘60s where he played in the same outfield as his 2 brothers. Wild shit.
Mumford and Sons: didn’t do a ton of research, but going to assume they are a father-son band that won a Grammy. That’s pretty impressive.
WHAT ELSE IS GOOD
Gotta appreciate that World Cup visitors love ranch dressing so much that TSA had to issue a warning that you can’t ‘bring 4 bottles onto a plane.’ Well done by the good folks at Kraft for making a TSA-safe ranch kit. You guys are American heroes.
American ingenuity at its finest
Congrats to Terry Crews for 13 hour porn watching sessions during the height of his addiction, but I cleared those numbers easily on the family room desktop when I was 14 and my parents left me home alone for an entire weekend. Good try though buddy.
That’s actually so insane though. Just a real beater like you read about.
One of the world’s most famous trees has died after standing in England’s Sherwood Forest for over 1,000 years that famously used to shelter Robin Hood. Never seen a clearer sign to bet against England on Tuesday. This is just how gambling works.
Now if the tree that sheltered Puss in Boots dies, we might be in trouble as a society
A new study reveals that if you start eating bugs, you won’t want to stop eating them. Uh-huh. Sureeee. Nice try Big Bug, but you’re not gonna suck me in.
Lowkey actually does look pretty tasty.

Respect to this guy for taking mini-golf seriously, even on a hinge date. Need more of this in today’s game.
