The DoorDash Ants Commercial – Epic Metal Mosh Pit

DoorDash and Raid have partnered up for a commercial featuring an army of metalheads, or more technically correct– a colony of rebellious ants. How many ants further down the kitchen counter just want them to turn down the music so they can sleep!? Plus, I’d love to see all the tattoos on these insects. Check out the ad the scroll down for more…

It’s half mosh pit and half that feeling you get when your grocery cart doesn’t have any wobbly wheels. But no matter what is ACTUALLY happening– ants finding the most sugary food in the house– those ants are living their best lives. I’m not a metal fan by any stretch of the imagination and I can think of 27 things I rather do than go to a rager like this one. But DoorDash put together a fun commercial that 99.9% of us can relate to. Ants just seem to show up uninvited and unannounced all the time, don’t they?

The only thing that isn’t adding up in the ad is the use of the red DoorDash insulated bag.. for two reasons.

  1. The bag is what the drivers use to carry the order from the business to the customer. So why does the customer have it in their house?
  2. Carrying a pesticide in a bag that is also used to transport food is generally a no-no.

Freddie Freeman Walk Off Home Run

Is this real life? I had just arrived at home after participating in contra dancing and pretty much forgot all about game 1 of the World Series. When I remembered, I flipped to Fox and caught the 8th and 9th innings. But fate had something else in mind… an extra inning as the teams were tied at 2. By now you know that in the bottom of 10, the Yankees were up 3-2 and with bases loaded and 2 outs, Freddie Freeman hit a game-winning grand slam. A FREAKING GRAND SLAM TO WIN A WORLD SERIES GAME. I couldn’t believe I watched it live, what a privilege! The obvious comparison is the home run by Kirk Gibson in 1988 that still gives me chills.

The Yankees strategy backfired (walking the batter before Freeman) and I couldn’t help but think of the Alabama vs. Auburn football game when one second was put back on the clock, giving Alabama the chance to win with a field goal. It came up short and Auburn returned it for a touchdown, winning the game. Epic.

Game 1 of the Yankees vs. Dodgers this year will probably be remembered as long as sports stories are told, and I’m so glad I got to see it happen live. I love sports!

Tyler Hubbard Parks and CeCe Makes Smoking Cool Again

Within a matter of days there can be a handful of country music videos released, especially as the weekend approaches. This week there are two new additions from one artist you’ve probably heard of and another who, quite frankly, has a better song (and video) than the former. First up is Tyler Hubbard (from Florida Georgia Line fame) with a song called “Park.”

Next up is an X Factor alumnus with a song I won’t be able to get out of my head this weekend (and I kinda don’t want to stop singing it). She goes by the name CeCe and her song is “All Boots.” Take a look at the choreographed video released today…

Hot Take #1. I don’t typically go for the type of song Tyler usually releases but I’ll be honest saying that “Park” isn’t THAT bad. I can envision it landing on some summertime playlists even if the ideas presented aren’t anything new to modern country music. Trucks. Women. Making Out. Beer Pong. Tyler sings about all the places he and his lady can go but at the end of the day, men generally want to skip all that and just kiss. A tale as old as time, huh?

“All I wanna do is park.”

Hot Take #2. CeCe wants a man with rough hands and an old Dodge Ram in the driveway. The man she gets, however, is all boots and no cowboy. From the looks of the guy, he probably drove up in a Toyota sedan, let’s just get that out there right now. I bet he doesn’t even vape! *Make smoking cigarettes cool again* This song fits in with classic country music themes of men being rough around the edges, confident, real. If the song were released in the spring, I wouldn’t be surprised at all if it was the country song of the summer even if it wasn’t on every radio station. It’s got a TikTok quality to it that would make it go viral (if it already hasn’t?).

“I need a Marlboro man with some big rough hands…”

Bon Jovi House of Love – Another Terrible Political Song

Legendary rocker Bon Jovi, along with gospel duo The War and Treaty, has released a video to go along with his song “House of Love.” Obviously Bon Jovi doesn’t need to prove anything to anybody and probably couldn’t care less if he loses fans but this latest song of his has got to be one of the worst political songs I’ve ever heard.

Clearly meant to be a nod to Kamala Harris and I wonder if this song is going to age poorly. At this point, Harris still has a chance and anything’s possible but I have serious doubts she’ll have enough votes to be the next president. Also, if you haven’t voted yet, get out there and do your part! Whether you vote for this candidate or this one or the few others on the ballot, we can still be friends, right? Kinda like the relationship between country singer Brad Paisley and his bud Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Remember this horrendous song from 2023?

When did Bon Jovi get so soft? All along I’ve thought rockers were edgy, tough, but I guess liberals think that’s too toxic. I remember the first time I had question marks about Bon Jovi being the Bon Jovi we remember from the 80s. It was in a duet with Jennifer Nettles back in 2009. He does have a luscious head of hair, though.

Maybe I just don’t like Bon Jovi’s music? Is that the moral of this story?
