Khabib announces his retirement after winning in UFC 254

Fight night has come and passed for Khabib Nurmagomedov.

And this time, forever, at least that’s what he said after his win overJustin Gaethje in UFC 254 on fight island.

Khabib went a perfect 29-0 in his career, winning 13 of his fights in the UFC.

Does this last win give him the official GOAT status? Is this actually the last time we’ll see Khabib in the octagon?

Only time can tell.

Adele jokes about her weight loss on SNL

It’s always nice to see when celebrities can joke about themselves. It makes them seem like they’re human again.

Plus I bet it’s not super hard to joke about how good you look after losing weight!

She really does look so good! And let’s be honest, she had an awesome opening monologue.

Who do you think has had the best SNL monologue so far this season though?

Website tracks the status of EVERY McDonald’s ice cream machine, EVERYWHERE.

Ladies & gentlemen, I present to you McBroken: an website dedicated to telling you if the ice cream machine at your area McDonald’s restaurant is broken or running.

This is the money quote from the “how and why” Ars Technica article:

“I reverse-engineered McDonald’s internal ordering API,” he explained when he launched the tool, “and I’m currently placing an order worth $18,752 every minute at every McDonald’s in the US to figure out which locations have a broken ice cream machine.

The spirit and ingenuity of America is still alive, people.  — [eric]

TV show from *1989* NAILS future tech predictions — like, almost 100%.

Flat-screen TVs reached the mainstream in the late nineties.  Ditto for HD television.  And voice-activated personal assistants that could dim lights, draw blinds, and make phone calls really didn’t hit the big time until a few years ago.

But this 1989 episode of the home improvement show “This Old House” almost perfectly predicts the future years before these things came into our lives — including having to ask Alexa twice to do something.  (It’s almost too perfect…🤔)

Perhaps it’s the fact that these technologies were around for DECADES before coming to consumers that made these predictions possible.  Or — just maybe — someone had a functioning DeLorean time machine to help.  I like to think it was option two.  — [eric]

The reviews are in on ‘Borat 2’

It was considered one of the funniest movies of the 2000’s when the innovative Sascha Baron Cohen took on a deranged character coming to America for the first time with a lot of pranks, unaware supporting cast, and extreme satircal cringe humor. Now 14 years later, the anticipation is high for the sequel, especially with news this week that the film will feature former New York City Mayor Rudy Giulani being roped into a “compromising situation”. As the film hits Amazon Prime today, does it deliver? Here  are some reviews of the film which is currently holding a certified fresh Rotten Tomatoes score of 91%.

Dan Murrel details how impressive it was to keep the film under wraps when everyone knows who Borat is now.

Grace Randolph had a mixed review but she adored the ending and the film’s surprising heart-warming moments.

IGN loved it, giving it a 9 out of 10.

Pearl Jam are finally releasing their ‘MTV Unplugged’ set

They are a band where some of their fans just need to have everything they have done, but one part in PJ’s history has never been widely available until now. This week sees the long-awaited release of Pearl Jam’s ‘MTV Unplugged’ show on CD, Vinyl, and streaming platforms. The show was given a limited release last year in April for Record Store Day but now you can listen to the memorable set on Spotify and Apple.

PJ is celebrating their 30th anniversary this week with another big release of a full remastered  2016 concert video from Philadelphia which saw them play the entire ‘Ten’ album in a massive 32-song set. You can purchase that stream through Nugs.tv at 8:00 p.m. ET tonight through October 25th.

Recorded on March 16th 1992, the seven-song ‘Unplugged’ set features Eddie Vedder and friends delivering emotional takes on tracks from the ‘Ten’ album in New York City. The set has been available on YouTube since 2014, so why not stream it here.

Check out this green puppy born in Italy!

Some dog owners in Italy were pleasantly surprised when their dog had a litter of puppies, all of which were a vibrant white color, except one.

Pistachio, who was born with green fur is the most special good boy of the litter.

Don’t worry though, there is nothing wrong with Pistachio. He was just exposed to a pigment, biliverdin, in the womb.

He will be a happy, healthy and green puppy!

Super Bowl could get delayed into March

The NFL has not had a normal season as we continue to roll with the ‘new normal’ of constantly adapting to the fluid changes of the ever-present COVID-19 issues in all walks of life. The current season has been redesigned with flexible schedules for games delayed due to outbreaks or potential exposures by teams and their staffs. Add to that the Pro Bowl has been called off for this year. Now comes news with an executive source in the league on the latest ‘Pat McAfee Show’ that the biggest game in sports, the Super Bowl could be delayed into March if needed.
