Is this real?
If so, this has got to be the worst day of this cop’s life!
Oh man, chin up big guy.
Hopefully pants up soon too.
Manley’s Mixtape- Women of Alt
Women have always been a part of Alternative, but they’ve rarely been glorified in the same way as their male counterparts. Starting with the poet laureate of punk (Patti Smith), the uncompromising resolve of Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders, the dynamic presence of Debbie Harry of Blondie, these icons were known for subverting expected gender norms and kicking down the proverbial “boys club” door. Siouxsie Sioux of Siouxsie And The Banshees shaped the goth and post-punk sound we now know. These women were matter-of-factly doing their own thing and inspiring others. Kim Deal with The Pixies and the Breeders, Alanis Morisette, Shirley Manson of Garbage, these women defined Alternative. Hayley Williams and Tori Amos, Lorde and Gwen Stefani, Billie Eilish and Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs… The past, present and future is certainly female for the History Of Alternative.
This video displays what marriage is perfectly
Marriage is a beautiful thing.
You’ve devoted each other to one another for the rest of your lives.
And also this…
Are you ok hon???
Watch this awesome interview with the late and great Eddie Van Halen
Here’s almost an hour long interview with Eddie Van Halen to get you through the week.
Rest in Peace Eddie.
Internet challenges could kill you!
Ok, yes this is funny.
But you have to be careful while doing your little internet challenges kids!
Anything for the likes am I right!
Should parents negotiate chores with their kids?
Now this is interesting.
It sounds crazy, but when he explains himself he makes some pretty good points.
What’s the difference between right now, and 15 minutes? The trash isn’t going anywhere!
It is just a power move, we can all agree to that right!?!?
But also, do what your parents say!
No! Putting your phone in the microwave still will not charge it!
Guys, we’ve been over this! Stop putting your phones in the microwave!
This kid’s parents must be fuming.
Whoa! Make sure not to get bit by one of these animals
Did you realize how hard a Rottweiler can chomp down on your leg!?!?
This is crazy!
Watch your step around these strong jawed animals!
Manley’s Mixtape- Pixies
I like to joke (but not joke) that Pearl Jam is the greatest band in the history of ever, but the Pixies are quite possibly the most important band in the history of ever. Pioneers of the loud quiet loud song structure that HEAVILY influenced Nirvana and about a zillion other bands, Frank Black/Black Francis/Charles Thompson and the crew may not have achieved the mainstream success of the bands that followed, but when you do an analysis of alternative music, all roads point back to The Pixies. Here are a few of my favorite tunes…
Big blockbuster movies delayed, beloved TV shows cancelled

The entertainment industry continues to make adjustments in the current pandemic. Some major films have gotten back to production but it looks like we won’t see many big films in theaters for a long time and that obviously means the theaters are in trouble. We reported earlier this week that Regal Cinemas were temporarily closing hundreds of theaters in the United States due to several major movies being delayed and audiences reluctant to return to theaters in numbers until there is a widely distributed vaccine. These circumstances are also having an even more drastic change to the production of several TV shows with some being canceled due to the COVID-19 risks.
Yesterday Universal Studios tweeted out through the official Jurassic World account that the anticipated ‘Jurassic World: Dominion’ which was slated to come out in June 2021 will now be pushed back an entire year to 2022. In August, the sequel which was combining elements of the classic ‘Park’ trilogy with the recent ‘World’ films was back in production with a lot of added precautions.
Movie expert Dan Murrell broke down in this video how significant the current maneuvering by the major studios is, why it has a huge impact on the industry, and the futures of movies as we know them.
Some recent TV shows which were renewed and were heading to film their new seasons have now been canceled. There are dozens of scripted and non-scripted series that are currently sitting in limbo but here two noteworthy recent cancellations.
G.L.O.W was set to start producing it’s fourth and final season but that has been called off this week because of the “C-word”. Netflix has made the call and considering the show involves very unique characters in a wrestling ring, it makes sense. It would be really challenging to shoot this without any bodyslams or vertical suplexes. Let’s hope we get some type of revival on the other side.
Drunk History which has been a hit on Comedy Central for six seasons, and was set for a seventh was axed in August. This one hurts quite a bit. The episodes featuring Chicago history and locals boozed-up blurting out ridiculous things were some of the funniest TV in the last 10 years.
Whose Karen is it?
It’s another week, and another Karen has emerged out from under their rock to spew nonsense on the internet.
This week our Karen makes a direct attack at our very own Brian who is mourning after the loss of his music hero, Eddie Van Halen.
This is just mean in general, but also the guy just passed!
Couldn’t they have waited a few days!!
C’mon Karen!
Mummy’s tomb opened for the first time in 2,500 years!
This is super cool, but should we just be opening up mummy tombs in 2020?
Seems like a real gamble considering everything that’s happened this year is all I’m saying.
Locusts? Is that what we’re going to have to deal with now?
Ancient spirits?
C’mon man!
Feast your eyes on the fattest cat in the history of everything
Feast your eyes! This is royalty!
The CHONK on the lad! Absolute unit.
A whole wagon!
This might be the best video-bomb of all time
He was trying to be sexy, but this diver really steals the show.
The beauty, the grace.
Tom Cruise spotted doing Mission Impossible stunts
Tom Cruise is doing crazy stunts again, you know what that means!
There must be a Mission Impossible movie on the way.
How many more of these stunts can he do! He’s getting older!
Will Smith wants you to know he wasn’t crying during the “entanglement” video
Guys! Will Smith wasn’t crying in the infamous “entanglement” video.
So stop saying it! You’re hurting Will’s feelings.
His eyes were just sweating!
The CIA issued rectal tool kits to their agents???
Fun little thing I learned today. The CIA used to have rectal tool kits that they would issue out to their agents!
They could carry a whole tool kit, some files, and maybe even a stick of gum. All without taking up any pocket real-estate!
I said they issued them, as in used to, but I guess there is no proof that they don’t still use this method…
The more you know!
HOA takes a couple’s chimney right off their roof!
HOA’s can be good for some things.
Keeping a neighborhood in tip top shape, making things nicer for residents.
But they can also take your chimney apparently…
How can they just take parts of their house off! How is that allowed!!!
Kid brings grandma’s ashes to show and tell!
Show and tell was always the best day in school.
You got to show all your cool stuff to your little friends!
This kid brought his grandma! How cool is that?!?
I mean she was there… Just not alive.
Manley’s Mixtape- EMO
Remember back in the early 00’s when the word EMO was either your religion or a swear word depending on how you felt about the music? I member. The funny thing is during emo’s heyday, I couldn’t stand it. See, I was an original hipster (an OH?) so I was all in on indie music of the time and a curse on your house if you thought Taking Back Sunday was better than Chin Up Chin Up. The funny thing is though, over time, I have totally developed a soft spot for the emo genre, and now I’m really excited to share with you a few of my favorite tunes.
