How the Lighsaber Sounds Were Made

Rating Foods from Buc-ee's

I've been going through the "World Cup Fans experience America" content and, for whatever reason, the #1 one thing people seem to be focusing on is Buc-ee's.

I have no opinion on the matter - I have never been to Buc-ee's in my life, though I have had one of their snacks: the Famous Beaver Nuggets.

In this video, Babish rates a variety of Buc-ee's offerings, and though the video is 47 minutes long and the title says "eating everything at...", he gets to less than 1 percent of the total number of foods available. Buc-ee's seems to be a wonderland of odd/unique food creations.

Which Once Again Proves My Theory...

 As a reluctant fan of the "Reacts To" genre, and a low-level movie buff, I went down the rabbit hole of movie reactions and observed one incontrovertible fact: Women Love "Rocky".

I first documented this phenomena in "The Ladies and Rocky - A Genre Within a Genre" and noted as evidence the Youtubers: Popcorn in Bed, Duaffy M&S, Mom and Mary Cherry.

Since then, there has been Jen Murray, MovieJoob and Liteweight Reacting.

Today I offer as further evidence: Liz Reacts (above), Movie Date with Kate, Addie Counts, VKunia, MillieMochisTV, Stacey's Silver Screen, Molly Bee, Verowak Reacts and Totally Whatever.

Not all of these women have made it through the entire series but, for those that have, 5 is generally recognized as the weakest. However, it must be noted that 5 is still generally really well-liked, they just rank it below the others. And there was one woman who said 5 was better than 3. Another commonality is: almost everyone hates Paulie (which is expected). But I continue to be surprised by how underrated the character of Mickey is among women (though with some stark exceptions).

They often comment how much they love the training montages and the gimmick that every big fight has a certain unique strategy.

World Cup Fans React to America Compilation

I kept hearing about how "viral" the World Cup fans reaction videos were but, not being on social media, I didn't see any. Here's a compilation I found.

I don't know if this is the best one or what the best ones are, but I found it interesting.

If you're in the opposite situation and you're being flooded with these and I'm just hopping on a trend, my apologies.

Blind Mike - Joe Matarese's New Podcast

"Philly" Comedian Joe Matarese, who lives in New York, is thinking of moving to Philadelphia (or some place in the Philadelphia area). He has created a new podcast where he talks about moving to Philly and asks callers which town/area he should move to specifically.

Blink Mike and Craig listen to his podcast and try to digest what is going on.

Binging with Babish - 10 Levels of Chocolate Chip Cookie

Another instance where I find the art of cooking (baking) to be fascinating. Particularly, Levels 5 and 6, where simple, ingenious changes actually improve the seemingly already perfect chocolate chip cookie.
