Their new album is a killer. They have a huge summer tour that comes to the sold-out Huntington Bank Pavilion in July with Beck (WIN YOUR WAY INTO THAT HERE) and now Cage the Elephant have raise the anty: they are playing for fish! Yes, Cage were on the delightfully weird Adult Swim “marine based game show” Fish Center where they performed their latest single ‘Social Cues’.
As we prepare for our own summer throw down PIQNIQ on June 15th at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheater, here is a look back at CTE goofing around backstage when they headlined the show in 2015.
This might be the best thing Kraft has done for parents since they invented Easy Mac.
Kraft just announced that they’re going to pay for your babysitter on Mother’s Day, so you can get some time to relax.
They’ll reimburse you up to $100 if you submit your receipt for the babysitter you hire on Sunday at KraftMothersDayAway.com.
There’s a catch, though: They’re only reimbursing a total of $50,000, which is only 500 moms’ worth of $100 babysitting, so send in your receipt QUICK.
(You can read the full terms and conditions here. It looks like you’re also giving them permission to use your name and submission in commercials or however else they want to use them.)

The CW officially picked up the Batwoman series, starring Ruby Rose in the title role. Batwoman is notable in that it’s the first superhero show with an LGBT main character and actress in the main role.
Tonight’s Cubs game against the Marlins has been pushed to an earlier start time of 6:35 p.m. The game was supposed to begin at 7:05, but the Cubs decided to get going sooner due to an expected wave of more crappy Chicago weather.
Gates are still set to open at 5:05.
Go Cubs.
Today Blink-182 dropped the new song ‘Blame It On My Youth’ from their upcoming album. This follows the band announcing a tour with rap giant Lil’ Wayne and upstarts Neck Deep. Oh and don’t worry Chicago, we will see them in September at RIOT FEST!
The lyrics have a lot of darker vibes recalling mistakes made in the past and their lasting impact on you as you grow past them. Matt Skiba has pretty griping lyric in this saying “”I was left on a doorstep/ I was scared to death with nowhere we go/ Cut myself on the neighbor’s fence/ That I hopped as the cops tried to take me in.”
The more I hear Skiba in Blink the more I dig it.
Tick tock.

From new “Star Wars” movies to 4 new “Avatar” sequels, plus many more.
Which ones are you looking forward to seeing?
Have you heard of Liquid Death?
Liquid Death is nothing but good old-fashioned H2O, served in a tallboy can.
The company was founded by former Netflix creative director Mike Cessario, who announced on Tuesday how he raised $1.6 million for Liquid Death. Gaining funding from Dollar Shave Club’s founder and CEO, Michael Dubin, Twitter co-founder Biz Stone, and the Away cofounder Jen Rubio.
Cessario has used his background of marketing, as well as playing in punk and heavy-metal band to coming up with Liquid Death.
He told Bussiness Insider the thought process behind selling water in a unique way:
“Initially some of our thinking was, we wanted to take more inspiration from the beer category because one thing we know in marketing is if you want younger people to want something, you have to market to people in their 20s because teens want the thing they can’t have”
“At first we knew the easiest crowd for us is anyone into heavy metal, punk rock, and that kind of world because they immediately get the joke and get the humor and have never seen anything like it. What makes this appealing for such a large group is that it feels like a niche thing.”
Their brand also holds an eco-conscious stance, knowing that Aluminum cans are more environmentally friendly than boxed or bottled water. They plan to donate $0.05 from every can sold to help clean up plastic garbage from the ocean.
Even in their ‘About Us‘ section, they state their dislike for plastic:
“We started Liquid Death with the diabolical plan to completely obliterate bottled water marketing clichés by taking the world’s healthiest beverage and making it just as funny and stupid and entertaining as the unhealthy brands across energy drinks, soda, and beer. Also, plastic water bottles are shit. But aluminum cans are far and away the most sustainable beverage container by virtually every measure. #DeathToPlastic”
You can currently buy a 12-pack of Liquid Death for $183 per can on their online store.
Murder your thirst with Liquid Death.
A doorbell camera captured the moment a snake bit a man in the face. He posted the incident and the removal of the snake on Facebook.
Jerel Heywood was visiting Rodney Copeland’s home on Sunday in Lawton, Oklahoma when the attack occurred. He hadn’t noticed the snake was wrapped around a porch light.
Luckily the snake was not venomous! But it looked like he was bitten in the eye, and no matter what that would SERIOUSLY hurt.
He’s an All American collegiate wrestler out of Oklahoma but many know from him his nine years in WWE where he captured the World Heavyweight Championship, but Jake Hager returns to his fighting roots this Saturday in his second Bellator MMA fight against TJ Jones at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont,IL. Hager joined us for this exclusive interview where he talked about his pro wrestling experiences helping him become a successful fighter in his first fight earlier this year. The “All American American” also heavily teased the celebrities who could be present Saturday at Bellator 221 and how he could possibly join the pro wrestling group, All Elite Wrestling.
Bellator 221 streams live on DAZN this Saturday at 9pm CST and limited tickets are available.
If you know any wrestling fans pass this on to them.

We know, we know. We don’t watch it either.
(At least that’s what we tell our friends.)
Now that Disney’s taken over the movie rights to the X-Men movie universe, unsurprising moves are being made.
The first is that “Gambit” is now completely off the release schedule. Originally targeted for a 2020 release, “Gambit” is now deader than a Louisiana swamp breeze.
And then there’s “The New Mutants.” The “horror”-themed X-Men universe movie was supposed to come out last year. There was even a trailer (below). As of today, the movie’s been pushed back until next year. If you’re wondering if it will end up going direct to video, you’re not the only one.

Yuzu, a Japanese Restaurant/Pub in Ohio, tried to create a menstrual themed cocktail but it didn’t see to go well.
They made a Facebook post of their new cocktail ‘Even Can’t Literally’ which they describe it as “a berry #margarita thoughtfully complimented with a tampon applicator garnish.”
Wait, what?
This tampon-applicator garnished drink was supposed to be a way to raise money for a women’s shelter, but it just angered people.
One person commented saying…
“Round of applause Yuzu! I didnt think it was possible, but you guys took a charitable cause for women and still managed to degrade female bodily functions and mock female vernacular with the drink name.”
Many thought about how they could have just donated the tampons to a women’s shelter instead of wasting them.
Which probably sounds more reasonable, since they probably just threw out the actual tampon.
Nice try, I guess, just stick to making normal drinks.
