BS SHOW BIZ BUZZ:
★ Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are making some big changes in Wrexham. The actors, “Welcome to Wrexham” stars, and owners of the football club Wrexham AFC, are selling a minority stake in the club, and are acquiring a local brewery, in a bid to grow the club and its influence. Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are selling the stake to the Allyn family, a wealthy family based in upstate New York. They will become minority owners of Wrexham AFC, and are also involved in the acquisition of Wrexham Lager Beer Co Ltd, through a new JV called Red Dragon Ventures. Wrexham Lager was founded in Wales in 1882, and is the oldest lager brewery still operating in the U.K.

★ Joe Exotic, the star of Netflix’s true crime documentary “Tiger King”, who is currently serving a 21-year prison sentence, has announced he’s engaged to a fellow inmate. A post on Exotic’s X account, alongside a slightly blurry image of the couple, reads: “Meet Jorge Marquez he is 33. He is so amazing and is from Mexico. Now, the quest of getting married in prison and getting him asylum or we be leaving America when we both get out.” Exotic, whose real name is Joseph Allen Maldonado, confirmed the engagement to EW in a phone call, indicating that while approval from the prison warden is still needed, they have filed for a marriage license, and his partner “has picked out Dec. 12 as the date.” LINK: https://tinyurl.com/3e679xy6

BS MUSIC NOTES:
• Olivia Rodrigo – On “Jimmy Fallon”, she opened up about the moment she fell into a hole on stage in Australia. She jokingly said, “Oh my God, that was fun!” before sharing that she’s doing OK after the “really scary” moment. Quote: “Sometimes, just there’s a hole in the stage. Watching the video back, it’s pretty terrifying. I mean the show must go on, that’s showbiz baby.” LINK: https://tinyurl.com/mr3mvvtk
• Lady Gaga — debuted 2 videos on Tuesday – a disturbing one and one that’s perfectly nice. The nice one is a live performance of ‘Die With a Smile’, recorded at a Bruno Mars’ show in Vegas. The disturbing one? That’s for the single ‘Disease’. It begins with her draped over the hood of a car, driven by a black-clad Gaga wearing a creepy leather hat/mask combo. It gets even weirder after that. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/mady72h6
• Heart — has revealed the special guests joining them on their “Royal Flush” tour in 2025. Squeeze, Cheap Trick and Lucinda Williams will each open on select dates. The tour is set to kick off with a 2-night stand in Las Vegas Feb. 28 and March 1, with dates confirmed through April 16 in New York City.
• Stevie Nicks — Retired NFL star Jason Kelce is teasing his collab with her for his annual Philadelphia-themed holiday album “A Philly Special Christmas Party”. On his podcast, he said: “[She’s] probably the most legendary female singer, especially of her generation … the fact that I’m singing with her, this legend, is pretty unreal.” The album is available for preorder starting today.
• Tom Petty – Heartbreakers guitarist/songwriter Mike Campbell has announced that on March 18, he’ll release his official memoir. Appropriately titled “Heartbreaker”, Campbell calls it “a story of hope, redemption, and gratitude, a testimonial that dreams can come true if you believe in yourself and follow your truth.” LINK: https://tinyurl.com/2sk33svx
• Kelsea Ballerini – While performing in front of a sold-out Madison Square Garden crowd, she burst into tears while singing a song about her dog. ‘Penthouse’ includes the words: “I bought the house with a fence/Enough room for some kids, a backyard for Dibs.” She posted in Aug. that her goldendoodle Dibs, has inoperable cancer. The crowd sang the chorus for her, as she let the emotions flow. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/mr2yuem8
• Tyler Hubbard and Chris Janson – are among the additions to the performers list for Saturday’s “United Way Benefit for Hurricane Relief”, a star-studded concert that’ll air on CBS and CMT. Brittney Spencer, gospel singer Jonathan McReynolds and Clay Aiken will also perform, while Blake Shelton, Kelsea Ballerini, Zac Brown Band, Carly Pearce, Jackson Dean and more will appear with “special messages.”
• Jimmie Allen — and his wife Alexis have finalized their divorce. In May 2021, they married and announced they were expecting a second child. That’s about when his former manager claimed he sexually assaulted her in a lawsuit filed in 2023. Same year, he revealed they were expecting again, and they were breaking up. He filed for divorce, but by July, the couple were trying to work it out again.

SHOOTING THE BULL

MISERABLE TIME:
And you thought that the scary stuff was over and done with after Halloween. Clocks go back an hour early Sunday morning (in most of North America and some other countries), and even though it means an extra hour of sleep, a survey found that 2 in 5 of us feel a sense of dread when preparing to “fall back”. And that feeling that lasts much longer than just the day or 2 surrounding the time change. The poll of 2,000 people found that the sense of dread actually begins about 11 days before the clock change, and ends around Nov. 16. Other findings…
• 59% would like to permanently stop the switch to and from daylight saving time.
• Half of millennials would like to end the twice-a-year time change, compared to 69% of baby boomers.
• Just 35% say the trade-off in the fall — an extra hour of sleep, versus less light in the evenings — is worth it.
• 54% of employed respondents experience “sunlight blues” after the time change, as they’re at work during all the hours of daylight.
• 31% said they make more mistakes at work after daylight saving time ends. Some of those mistakes include falling asleep at their desk, showing up late after not changing their clocks the night before, and putting salt into their coffee instead of sugar.
(Hey! Don’t knock that “salt in the coffee” trick until you’ve tried it!)
(I just hope my cat deals with it OK. I mean, it’s hard enough sleeping for 24 hours a day. Now she has to try for 25?)

NEWS OF THE WEIRD:
➢ Just in time for some Halloween shenanigans, a bat escaped a zoo in Germany by landing on a visiting woman and hiding in her clothes. 30-year-old Elina Öfele said she and her young son walked through the bat cave at Karlsruhe Zoo, and when she got home, she removed her jacket and a bat fell to the floor. She contacted an animal expert and somehow put the bat in a box with honey water and a banana overnight to keep it fed and comfortable. Her husband and son returned the bat to the zoo the following day. A spokesman for the zoo said the leaf-nosed bat is doing fine. (Elina, however may never be the same…!)
➢ A Zamboni driver has been arrested on suspicion of impaired driving after a low-speed crash at a hockey rink. Police in Chelsea, Quebec say the 25-year-old man was detained after he drove the ice-resurfacing machine into the boards while cleaning the ice between games. Video posted online shows a referee skating alongside the machine as it heads into the boards with a loud crash. A witness called cops after seeing signs that the driver was impaired. Police say no one was hurt, but a door onto the rink was damaged. (Is “ZUI” even a thing?) LINK: https://tinyurl.com/2ufr63ff

DID YOU KNOW?
If your child’s footwear of choice is Crocs, you may want to have a backup ready. More than 12 school districts in the US have banned the footwear, citing safety concerns, and others are expected to follow. Part of this is connected to a social media trend, where kids have been recording themselves tripping while wearing Crocs. And school administrators are concerned that this could cause some copycats — and lead to serious injuries as a result of fake falls. Crocs now rank in the Top 10 in children’s footwear.
(Up until now, I thought my kid was a Croc-wearing klutz. And now, I find out he’s a content creator!)

BS CHRONOMETER 11.01.24

TODAY’S BS REASONS TO PARTY . . .
• “Movember” begins today, the annual event involving the growing of moustaches during November to raise awareness of men’s health issues, such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and men’s suicide. The idea began in an Australian bar in 2003 when 2 guys challenged their friends to join them in growing ’staches for charity. LINK: https://movember.com/
• “Diwali” begins, a Hindu religious festival of lights, one of the most important festivals within Hinduism. It usually lasts 5 days, and symbolizes the spiritual “victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance”.
• “Day of the Dead” (begins, runs through Nov. 2), a holiday celebrated throughout Mexico and by people of Mexican heritage elsewhere. It involves family and friends gathering to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died.
• “All Hallows” or “All Saints’ Day” (begun in 835 AD), a Roman Catholic ‘Holy Day of Obligation’ (aren’t they all?). It’s a public holiday in the Philippines, when families gather to honor the dead.
• “Brush Day”, celebrated on the day after Halloween, to reinforce the importance of children’s oral health and promote good tooth-brushing habits. Today, parents are encouraged to make sure their kids brush their teeth for 2 minutes, twice a day. (Let me know how THAT goes…)
• “Authors Day”, celebrating literature in all its forms and to show your appreciation for the hard work put in by the authors behind your favorite writings. (Thank you, Richard Scarry!)
• “Fountain Pen Day’, celebrated by enthusiasts worldwide as a time to embrace, promote, and share the use of fountain pens. FUN FACT: The modern fountain pen was invented in 1884, just 4 years before the ball point pen. (Does this mean that until 1888, the fountain was simply called the ‘pen’?)
• “Jersey Day”, to express your fandom for your favorite pro football team and players. (And to find out who at your workplace judges people according to what team they cheer for!)
• “Love Your Lawyer Day”, a day free of lawyer bashing and lawyer jokes. While lawyers may have a bad reputation, the good they do is often forgotten. (…waiting for the punchline here…!)
• “Give Up Your Shoulds Day”. So often, we spend so much time thinking about the things we “should” do—like exercising, eating healthier, making more money, being more organized—that we become stressed, and feel guilty or sad. Today, give up thinking about at least one thing you “should” do.
• “Go Cook For Your Pets Day”, because it’s apparently not enough to house them, train them, exercise them, and clean up after them … now they need haute cuisine!
• “World Vegan Day”, for celebrating veganism, a term invented by Donald Watson in 1944. True vegans do not eat meat, fish, dairy products, or eggs; nor do they use any products derived from animals, such as fur or leather.
• “National Vinegar Day”, this common household product brightens many salads, is used in canning, and can shine up a window, too! There are many varieties of vinegar, including: Apple cider * Balsamic * Beer * Cane * Coconut * Date * Distilled vinegar * East Asian black * Flavored vinegar * Fruit * Honey * Job’s tears * Kiwifruit * Kombucha * Malt * Palm * Raisin* Rice * Spirit vinegar * Sherry vinegar * White * Wine * (and “grette”?)
• “Scented Candle Day”. Their fragrances create an ambiance and evoke moods such as peace, tranquility, coziness, fond memories, and romance. A scented candle may be uplifting or may promote relaxation. (And sometimes, they can even cover up the smell of whatever it was that I just cooked!)

SATURDAY:
• “All Souls’ Day”, the excuse for an annual “Kite Festival” in Santiago, Guatemala, when natives send massive, extremely colorful kites to the heavens, in an effort to communicate with the dead. In Mexico, it’s the second day of the “Day of the Dead” (‘El Dia de los Muertos’) celebration.
• “Deviled Egg Day”, saluting the dish that entails hard-boiled eggs cut in half and filled with the egg’s yolk mixed with mayonnaise & mustard.
• “Plan Your Epitaph Day”, dedicated to the proposition that a forgettable gravestone is a fate worse than death. Some actual tombstone epitaphs:
☞ “Pardon me for not getting up.”
☞ “I was hoping for a pyramid.”
☞ “She always said her feet were killing her, but no one believed her.”
☞ “Well, this sucks.”
☞ “I told you I was sick.”
• “Cookie Monster Day”, a celebration of the birthday of everyone’s favorite blue monster with a voracious appetite. Jim Henson created the original version for a General Foods commercial in 1966, and the beloved character appeared in the very first episode of “Sesame Street” in 1969. (All together now: “C is for cookie…”)
• “Book Lovers Day”, honoring all the bookworms and book lovers in your life. If you’re a book lover yourself, treat yourself to some quality reading time.
• “Practice Being Psychic Day”. I saw two psychics meet on the street yesterday. One said to the other “You are fine. How am I?”
• “Look for Circles Day”, simply follow the instructions in the name. Circles are everywhere. The wheels of cars, bubbles in the bathroom, and mysterious crop circles are only some examples. You’ll probably find a lot more circles than you expect. (I’ll be in the lunch room, looking for donuts…)
• “Broadcast Traffic Professionals Day”, to honor “those in all radio and television traffic departments, who schedule and work very diligently with programs, announcements and commercials”, to keep programming flowing correctly. (And if you knew the term “Broadcast Traffic Professionals” has nothing to do with vehicular traffic, then you’ve probably worked in broadcasting!)

SUNDAY:
• “The End of Daylight Saving Time”, as Standard Time officially returns at 2am. Don’t forget to set your clocks back an hour (remember: ‘Spring forward, Fall back’…Hey, it’s a long weekend!) About 70 countries observe DST. Most of North America, Europe and parts of South America and New Zealand adhere to it, while China, Japan, India and most countries do not. (It starts on different dates in some countries. In Europe, it happened last weekend. In Australia, DST started in October.)
• “Zero Tasking Day”. Always the same day that Daylight Saving Time ends, it’s a day to do absolutely squat with the extra 60 minutes you put on the clock because the real gift for this day is not feeling like you have to do something worthwhile with that ‘extra hour’.
• “Cliché Day”. It’s amazing how they infiltrate our daily conversations. (***Try to make it through an entire show without anyone uttering a cliché. Hit the buzzer every time one pops up!***)
MOST ANNOYING BS CLICHÉS:
✗ “To be honest …”
✗ “Threw me under the bus.”
✗ “It is what it is.”
✗ “I’m not joking.”
✗ “With all due respect …”
✗ “Bite the bullet.”
✗ “Par for the course.”
✗ “Run it up the flagpole.”
✗ “You know what I mean?”
✗ “At the end of the day …”
• “Sandwich Day”, celebrating the 1718 birth of John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich. A compulsive gambler, he wanted something that could be eaten at gaming tables, and earned immortality when he began eating beef between slices of toast in 1792. (Some say he stole the idea from a guest, the Earl of Shrewsbury. So, it should be a peanut butter shrewsbury, a grilled cheese shrewsbury, a knuckle shrewsbury, etc…) [***Here are some truly odd sandwiches …***] LINK: http://bit.ly/sCip1r
• “Housewife Day”, recognizing the importance of stay-at-home wives and moms. Also referred to as “Retro” Housewife Day. These wonderful, caring creatures build and enrich strong family environments and they help to instill family values and good character. (Probably best not to call them ‘housewives’, though…)
• “Give Someone a Dollar Today Day”. Nowadays it seems like a dollar is almost worthless, but there still are some things that a dollar can get you. Today, give a dollar to someone you know, or to someone you’ve never met. Perhaps to someone who looks to be in need.
