Did You Hear The Jeopardy! Question About Brian Laundrie?
Not the classiest thing they've ever done.
Did you catch that Jeopardy! question about Brian Laundrie over the weekend? Ouch. Celebrity Jeopardy! is when they bring in Hollywood celebrities for a steel cage death match of sorts.
But one particular question that was asked during Sunday’s episode is leaving a bad taste in viewers mouths, especially Floridians. The contestants, actors John Michael Higgins, Joel Kim Booster and Wil Wheaton were given a clue in a category where all responses contained the letter “A”. So far, so good. But that’s when they dropped a bombshell. The question was “In 2021, fugitive Brian Laundrie ended his days in Florida’s Myakkahatchee Park, home to these long & toothy critters.” The answer: “What are alligators.”
Viewers immediately lost their minds, saying that mentioning the notorious man’s name in a TV show did a disservice to the memory of Gabby Petito and glorified a murderer. Brian Laundrie was the primary person of interest in the disappearance of his fiance, Gabby Petito. Petito was later found dead and Laundrie disappeared shortly afterward. Laundrie’s body was found in the swamps of a local state park after that. His death was blamed on a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Before authorities were able to find the body, Florida alligators had found it and had eaten parts of it. Laundrie and Petito had been crossing the country and documenting their journey via YouTube right up until Gabby disappeared. Source: WFLA.com

Christmas Songs: 25 Classic Rock/Pop Tunes to Get into the Holiday Spirit
Now that it’s finally December, it’s time to fully embrace Christmas songs. (Sure, some may have started long ago, but many like to wait until Thanksgiving is in the rearview.)
There are a surprising number of Christmas songs recorded by some of music’s biggest icons. Many rockin’ holiday tunes tend to be covers, but many artists have tried to pen the next Christmas classic. If they don’t end up classics, they are often at least a lot of fun.
On one rare occasion, an original Christmas song inspired a theory that went viral. The song in question is the Paul McCarney hit “Wonderful Christmastime.” The theory started on Paul McCartney's "Wonderful Christmastime" is about friends practicing witchcraft but then someone walks in and they have to suddenly play it cool pic.twitter.com/0FscqecVzW

McCartney was asked about the theory in a special Q&A about the song on his official website in December 2022. Sir Paul said when asked if the theory was true, “Oh yeah. Well, thank goodness they found me out. This is completely true, and in actual fact, I am the head wizard of a Liverpool coven. [Paul laughs] Either that… or it’s complete nonsense. And you know it’s the latter!”
Macca is then asked, “This theory may have come from people mishearing the lyrics. Could you confirm if the lyric is ‘the moon is right’ or ‘the mood is right’?” He responds, “It’s ‘the mood’! This is the mood; I’ve gathered together the witches and wizards… I’ve got ‘the mood’, which is what we in wizardry call it [laughs]. The thing is about this stuff, it’s so easy to convince half the people in the world. You do have to be a little bit careful! “
McCartney added, “No, it’s ‘the mood’. And you know what, I’m thinking about Liverpool Christmas parties, that’s really all I’m doing with that song. ‘The mood is right, let’s raise a glass, the spirit’s up’ – you know, all the stuff you do at Christmas. Particularly with my old Liverpool family parties.”
To help fully get into the holiday spirit, consider adding these 25 songs to your Christmas playlist. Or you can try and see if Sir Paul has an opening in his coven.
Terrifying Thanksgiving Pics
Sean Roberts was conceived in the Corvette Assembly Plant in Bowling Green, Kentucky by two passionate, panel aligning, third shifters who had grown bored with the same ole same ole. Upon birth, he was placed in the trunk of a new Stingray and sent off to find his destiny.
That destiny included several stints on radio stations across the United States. Some played punk country gospel, while others focused on Croatian death metal played backwards.
After many years and many adventures, Sean wound up on The Shark, where he does shots of tequila while playing the most badass tunes ever created by humankind.
He remains humble, however, never forgetting about the lean years...the street corners and dark alleys where he played songs on his car stereo for food and sex.
He's on top and he's never gonna stop LIVING THE DREAM!
