Welcome Big Sky fans! If you’re here, you must’ve seen the most recent episode of Big Sky on ABC. Montana’s best/worst villain Ronald is back and better/worse than ever! His crimes are unravelling yet again and it looks as though his girlfriend Scarlet might be just as warped as he is.
But Ronald drama aside, the music in this episode appeared at the end, just like the music in episode 14. Tension builds as Jerrie and Marshal Mark Lindor are closing in on Ronald and Scarlet, a great scene paired with Iggy Pop’s “The Passenger”. Listen to the full track below.
Do you like where the story is going with Ronald? How about with the Kleinsasser family? Chime in below and thanks for stopping by!
I got a text from my friend who lives next to the geese I’ve been writing about, and here is what she said… in all caps, so you know it’s important:
That’s right, some of the eggs have hatched!! Two, to be exact. I quickly biked over with my camera because I just had to get some shots of the day-old gosling*. The little family didn’t disappoint. Mom and Dad were still very protective, and baby was as adorable as could be. Here are a few pictures from my visit.
Thanks for stopping by!
*we only located one of the goslings, although two eggs hatched. We suspect one might have been in danger from a predator*
Oreo has a new ad out featuring two young men playing basketball. The smaller baller delivers an elbow to the face of his opponent, and, well, see what happens next in the ad…
I will include a higher quality video of the commercial once Oreo uploads. For now, here is some fun info…
The Music. The ad features the first 10 seconds of a song called “Rise” by Gift of Gab. The song was released in 2012. Check out the full track below.
The bruised brother. The older kid who gets a black eye is Arlo Buchanan. He’s an actor with a few notable credits to his young career. Click here for more of his bio.
The shot. Some might be wondering, like I was, did the shot go in? Based on a breakdown of a still shot, my assessment is that the shot did not go in. I repeat, the shot did NOT go in.
The foul. In league play, who would get penalized with the foul? In my experience and with a little research, I would say this was unintentional so no foul called. If there is a foul, it would go against the shooter for leading with the elbow.
If you’ve been following this blog, you know I’ve been posting about a nest of goose eggs. While I haven’t been there every day, when I do go I’m fascinated to see how much the mother and father of the four eggs are so protective over the unborn goslings. So on this Mother’s Day, while I could write about the best human mom I’ve ever known (mine, of course!), I think it would be unfair to you all to brag and rub it in. 🙂
So with that in mind, here’s the best goose mom (and dad) I’ve ever seen.
Jon Pardi offers up what might be the country hit of the summer with “Tequila Little Time,” and now there’s a video to go along with it. Comments on YouTube are full of praise for the song and the warm weather vibes throughout the video. Plus, how can you go wrong including a cute pup? Check it out…
Location. It’s not hard to figure out where this video was shot. Flora-Bama, a well-known hang out on the gulf coast right at the state lines of Alabama and Florida, is the backdrop for the video. On the Flora-Bama website, they posted this about Jon stopping by with his band to shoot the project.
Ruff, ruff. One of Jon’s dogs, Cowboy, had no trouble stealing the show with his cuteness. What a well-behaved dog! Sometimes I get jealous of dogs that can behave off-leash. Why? Because I have a beagle. Just check out this story of when she escaped for a few hours of rabbit-chasing freedom.
The love interest. The actress playing the playful yet worried (at first) woman at the bar is model Rachel Raines.
True to her real name, the character she plays is named Rachel, as seen on the “LOST DOG!” poster she puts up at the ocean side club. BTW, don’t try calling the number at the bottom, it’s doesn’t connect to anything… and yes, I tried calling it. 😉
Performance. Jon played this song live on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Friday April 16, 2021.
Connect. Take a sec to follow these folks on their socials below and let them know how much you appreciate their work… and if you see Cowboy be sure to give him a good ol’ belly scratch (and make sure he hasn’t run away)!
