Seriously? OMG! WTF?

Netflix

I don’t know about you, but I was completely devastated yesterday when it was reported that Joey Chestnut would not be competing in this year’s Nathan’s Hot Dog Contest because he has been promoting another company that makes plant-based weiners.

To me, this is my Super Bowl. So it would be like Tony Romo or Patrick Mahomes being forced to drop out days before the big game.

Well, today, I am excited! That is because on Labor Day, or September 2nd, Nathan’s two biggest winners, Chestnut and Takeru Kobayashi, are going to go hot dog to hot dog on Netflix.

The two competitive eaters will go mouth to mouth to see who is the GOAT of swallowing the most hot dogs and buns in a short amount of time.

The last time they stood on the same stage was at Coney Island 15 years ago, and Chestnut won the matchup.

In total, Chestnut has won the title 16 times, and Kobayashi brought home the belt only six times. He was forced to drop out after that matchup due to a contract dispute.

The streaming service doesn’t care about all of that, so they are letting the two rivals find out who the King of the Swallowing Hot Dogs Whole is!

“Retiring for me will only happen after I take him down one last time,” said Kobayashi. “This rivalry has been brewing for a long time. Competing against Joey live on Netflix means fans all over the world can watch me knock him out.”

“Through all of my years in competitive eating, Kobayashi stands out as my fiercest rival,” said Chestnut. “Competing against him pushed me to be so much better. I know that fans have waited a long time for another chapter of our rivalry and I can’t wait for our massive showdown live on Netflix! It’s time to give the people what they want!”

And I want this. I really, really want this. So Netflix, I have two words for you and they are thank and you!

Paddington 2 is one of the highest-scored movies on Rotten Tomatoes. So, it makes sense that we are getting a sequel.

On January 17th, our favorite bear is taking a trip to another continent.

PADDINGTON IN PERU brings Paddington’s story to Peru as he returns to visit his beloved Aunt Lucy, who now resides at the Home for Retired Bears. With the Brown Family in tow, a thrilling adventure ensues when a mystery plunges them into an unexpected journey through the Amazon rainforest and up to the mountain peaks of Peru.

Are you starting to stock up on marmalade for the occasion?

Seth Meyers and his friend Julia Louis-Dreyfus went Day Drinking, and I am not sure how strong their friendship will be afterward.

I don’t know if the Emmy-winning actress didn’t know what the segment Day Drinking was about, but she wasn’t up for drinking the concoctions the Late Night host made for her. In fact, she spit them out, partly because she didn’t like the taste and also because she was trying to remain classy.

So, when she got upset that she got some Jaggermeister on her shirt, he felt bad. So bad that he let her throw a shot at him. It was so bad that we all felt bad for her.

But not as much as when she missed a particular person’s name when she had to fill in the two blanks for people with three names. I missed it, too, and it hurt. It hurt a lot.

But not as much as my stomach when she played bartender and was forced to make fun of him. She couldn’t stop laughing, and I couldn’t stop laughing with her.

At the end of the day, we were all tired, but no one as much as Meyers. He didn’t even make it home before he needed to take a nap during the day. And he earned it because it is hard to drink by yourself during the day.

Oh, and I loved that she didn’t hesitate to tell Seth that the worst movie she ever made was Troll from 1986. It truly is awful.

A post shared by Kevin Jonas (@kevinjonas)

Kevin Jonas shared a video from his doctor’s office for a very important reason. The 36-year-old singer was there to have a basal-cell carcinoma, aka skin cancer, mole removed from his upper right forehead.

The minor surgery went well, and he is at home recuperating from it.

But he wants everyone to know that they need to get their moles checked out because you never know which one might want to kill you.

So, if you have a mole that does look right, go to your dermatologist and ask them to look at it. That appointment can save your life.

Can you tell I come from a family of skin cancer survivors?

If you thought that Trump’s statement about how a boat battery could cause the water to electrify, thus electrifying him if he fell overboard, was the stupidest thing you ever heard, then listen to the Jimmy Kimmel Live mashup of him singing Naby Shark from different speeches.

It is so dumb that it will make you laugh out loud. And we need more of that these days.
