Joe Biden Lies to Stuttering Kid

Joe Biden recently sat down with a young man who struggles with stuttering. As far as a show of compassion goes, this was a step in the right direction… although anyone with half a brain can decipher what’s going on here. It’s a voting year, after all.

Hmm, what can I do to make myself look good so people vote for me?

– every politician

It’s a little ironic that they felt the need to include subtitles when so many Joe Biden gaffes (not stutters, 100% gaffes) require someone to interpret what he’s trying to say. Here’s the video the Biden campaign is sharing to trick you sway you into voting for Joe in November…

Lie To Me. Whether or not we believe Joe’s stutter is the reason he has blunders on a national stage every other day is beside the point. The misinformation in this video is when Biden goes on to tell the child that he can be anything he wants to be. Um, no. Sorry that’s not true. In middle school I was sure I’d grow up to be a baseball player. I had the experience, the desire, the equipment. I was missing one thing, though.

TALENT.

Please don’t patronize kids like this. The truth is we can’t be whatever we want to be. We can excel in what we do, work hard and become great at something, sure. But if young Ben (me) were told he could be anything he wanted to be and he believed it, he was set up for a lifetime of entitlement and ultimately, disappointment.

Lainey Wilson “Wildflowers and Wild Horses” Music Video and More!

Why does every music video shot in the mid-western desert remind me of Texas? It happened with Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things” video, too. I guess the video clips remind me of my camping trip deep in the heart of Texas. For the record, I saw just as many buffalo as I did horses but “buffalo” is pretty hard to work into a song title. Plus the idea of wild horses conjures up different sorts of inspiration than wild buffalo. I’ll say this though, every time I saw buffalo along my journey to the midwest, it was down right wild.

Enough about me and my buffalo experiences, Lainey Wilson has a three-minute story about wildflowers and wild horses. Beautiful imagery by talented filmmakers and videographers, the way the shots were put together and edited, it’s a great work of art for Lainey’s latest music video…

The Location. It’s not Texas, after all. The location for this, as shown in the scrolling credits, was White Stallion Ranch in Tucson, Arizona. Now those cactuses make sense. The ranch is open to the public so if you want to walk, ride, or e-bike in the footsteps of Lainey Wilson herself, check out their website for more booking info.

The Horses. I love horses so I’ll wrap this post up with a few of my favorite horse photos and maybe a wildflower or two.

SiriusXM Channels Mark Twain and Conan O’Brien in New Commercial

I’m a subscriber to SiriusXM– and if they feel like sponsoring this post I’d be happy to send them my account info for a year of free radio 🤪– and I’m posting this because part of why I was born was to write! That’s half of an answer to the famous Mark Twain quote…

The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.

Mark Twain

The other half answer is December 26th. 🎄🎅🏻❄️ Ya know, in case you were wondering. Here’s the SiriusXM commercial that opens with the Mark Twain quote and includes a trio of songs, a talented dancer, and a red-headed comedian.

The Music. Featured in the 30-second version of the commercial are three songs: “Paint the Town Red” by Doja Cat, “Roots Bloody Roots” by Sepultura, and “Bright Horses” by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds.

The Comedian. You also might have caught the last statement in the ad… “If you can survive this, it’s going to make the whole story that much better.” This is a line from Conan O’Brien’s interview with Howard Stern referring to his tumultuous time taking over for Jay Leno on “The Tonight Show.” They had just received a terrible review and Conan’s dad said that to him. History has shown how Conan not only survived it, but his story includes his own SiriusXM station (channel 104) which helps make his story “that much better.”

Cool ad for a streaming satellite radio service always facing the ever present opponent – the things we see competing with the things we hear.

This Actress was on Friends AND Seinfeld!?

If you were to make a list of iconic shows from the 1990s, two near the top would be “Friends” and “Seinfeld.” Even in 2024, those two shows continue in their popularity and reruns can be found on TV this very day. So it’s mind-blowing to find out some actors and actresses had the chance to play a part in both shows. One of these is Chandler’s noisy girlfriend Janice. Did you know that actress also had a part on “Seinfeld”? Her character was (click here)… but she’s not the only one! Remember this pivotal situation from “Friends”?

Ross got into some deep trouble when he and Rachel were “on a break” (they broke up and we all know it) and Ross decided to sleep with the woman from the copy store. Chloe was her name.

Chloe the copy shop woman was played by actress Angela Featherstone. Ms. Featherstone was also Cindy, the Maid to Order maid hired by Jerry Seinfeld on the episode called “The Maid.”

If you’re interested in more from behind the scenes, Angela is a guest on a podcast all about “Seinfeld,” check it out below.

Brian Kelley “Kiss My Boots”: We Were On A Break!

The guys of Florida Georgia Line have been “on a break” for awhile now and all I can think of is Ross from Friends. He and Rachel stopped dating and in that time, Ross hooked up with the copy shop woman, Chloe. Clearly he and Rachel had broken up but the idea that Ross cheated was a recurring theme as the show went on. How many times did he defend himself with the line, “We were on a break!”?

Let’s not forget that it was Rachel’s idea to break up in the first place. She even wrote an 18-page letter, FRONT AND BACK, that Ross never finished because he fell asleep.

In the same way Rachel wrote down her thoughts for Ross, Brian Kelley has written a song and a lot of people agree that it’s about his former FGL bandmate Tyler Hubbard. He’s got a video to go along with it, too. Take a look then scroll down for more…

The pair let a disagreement fester a little too long and that’s rarely a good thing. It goes back to the 2020 election where one of the guys supported this guy and the other supported this guy. Now Brian and Tyler are “on a break” and here we go again with the ambiguity. If Ross and Rachel were clear about their relationship they would’ve avoided a lot of hurtful things. Brian and Tyler should learn a lesson from them. Of course, country music is rooted in relationship pains, so maybe Brian’s choice to air out the dirty laundry will turn into a hit for him. Maybe they’ll mend their relationship and go out on tour again as Florida Georgia Line but for now, they need space and probably they are never, ever getting back together.
