Lifehacker has a list of carnival games that are rigged…
Urbo, on the other hand, has tips on how to win those “impossible” games…
Theo Von spent almost 2 hours talking with a legit Carny whose family has been in the business for over 100 years. They talk games, rides, freak shows, behind-the-scenes antics, all the stuff you want to know…
This is an interesting documentary about the American Carny from 2016, narrated by Penn Jillette…
You can’t forget about the f’d up drama movie starring the likes of Gary Busey, Jodie Foster, & Meg Foster about a waitress that runs away to join a traveling carnival…
Sunday Cinema – “Commander USA”
This month is MattyV’s birth month, so we’re celebrating “Sunday Cinema” with some of his recent favorite television episodes!
Before streaming services we would only be able to watch movies in the theaters, renting video from the local video store, or watching them on television. On Saturday afternoons in the mid-to-late 1980s “Commander USA’s Groovie Movies” would come on and entertain us with cheesy B-movies and funny skits.
This particular episode aired in October of 1988 and contains the movie “Def Con 4” which is about astronauts in a satellite that plummets back to Earth after World War 3 and learning how society has changed.
Someone has archived a lot of the old episodes and put them online for everyone to get nostalgic over…
Boom, Boobs, Bracket

“He turned the little button and the car went BOOM!“
A whole car culture dedicated to making you deaf…
Be careful with this bass test video, one of the comments says “I didn’t know my subwoofer had smoke and fire effects”
Although his name is in the iMDB credits, Josh Brolin won’t be in “Deadpool and Wolverine”.
Yet another Bullsh*t list of valuable childhood toys…
First there was “Winnie the Pooh: Blood & Honey” (of which there is now a sequel), now there is “Bambi: The Reckoning“…
Owners of the 76ers bought 2,000 tickets to game 6 against the New York Knicks in a effort to boost fan presence. A local coach also urged season ticket holders not to sell their tickets to Knicks fans. Tickets to the event are selling for between $136 and $1,991 each.
Oh, forgot. “Because Boobs“…
Sunday Cinema – McHale
All this month we are celebrating MattyV’s birthday! And with that, he wants to share some of the movies and television shows he has been watching as of late!
“McHale’s Navy”
In the first episode, Quinton McHale is assigned a new ensign (Tim Conway) who is Captain Binghamton’s only hope to keep McHale and his misfit crew in line. The series lasted 4 seasons over 138 episodes and gave us stars such as Ernest Borgnine, Gavin MacLeod, Carl Ballentine, and of course Tim Conway.
Someone was able to post the first episode online for all to enjoy…
Funny Again?

Funny Again?
A lot of people have been talking about the latest SNL skit with Ryan Gosling dressed as Beavis. What blew me away was that the skit wasn’t woke, wasn’t political and it was genuinely funny. Hell, my wife chuckled and forwarded it to our oldest son…
My TikTok feed pulled some old SNL bangers like the Irish dating game and It’s a Date with Andy Samberg/Justin Timberlake & Dan Ackroyd/Steve Martin.
Here’s another BS list of “valuable” audio cassette tapes that you might own and could make you rich…
Matty, Dan the Man, and a whole clan of others recently went to see Steve ‘n’ Seagulls at the last concert on their North American tour. They played their latest single and promised a new album coming this fall.
The group Dig Deep opened for them, definitely a better opening act for them. Dan described them perfectly – “Imagine if Dead South rode motorcycles“.
Here’s the TiKTok from Matt McCarthy with the 1991/1995 VMA and classic commercials…
Chunky A
Back in the mid-to-late 1980s rap music was becoming very mainstream to the point where it was being parodied. Comedian Rodney Dangerfield got into the rap game with his single, “Rappin’ Rodney” while Arsenio Hall created a whole separate persona. “Chunky A”, according to Wikipedia, was Arsenio’s overweight younger brother who had at one time been a roadie for Barry Manilow. He released a rap album entitled, “Large and in Charge” which reached #77 on the Billboard Hot 100, and the single “Owwww!” made it to #71 on the Billboard 200 chart.
“Billy Jack” was the second of a series of films featuring a mixed-race Native-American Green Beret who just wanted to find peace but ended up protecting the innocent & vulnerable from those who do evil and harm. He seems to be an inspiration for the character of John Rambo…
Walmart and other retailers are beginning to see that self-checkouts are losing more money in stolen inventory than having regular cashiers.
Monty Python’s “Mr. Creosote” skit from the movie, “Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life” was added to the film even though the budget was already spent. A funny skit as cheaply as it was created…
Sunday Cinema – Wackiest
All this month on “Sunday Cinema” we are looking at military movies because they contain a groaner of a dad joke (“What is the military’s favorite day? March 4th!”)…
The Wackiest Ship in the Army
A Lieutenant is tricked into commanding a terrible crew aboard a horrible ship to complete a mission that could save hundreds of lives. Starring Jack Lemmon and singing heartthrob Ricky Nelson, the film actually did well at the box office.
Someone posted it online for all to enjoy…

The boys talked about their experiences with fast food, reminded MattyV of Dane Cook’s bit…
Ricky & the Boss on TikTok is hilarious…
So is Mike & his supervisor…
The reviews of the rebooted “Road House” movie are brutal and brutal…
We hope the next chapter of the series doesn’t fall victim to wokeism…
Sunday Cinema – Hero
All this month on “Sunday Cinema” we are looking at military movies because they contain a groaner of a dad joke (“What is the military’s favorite day? March 4th!”)…
Too Late the Hero
Occupying opposite sides of an island in the Pacific, a group of British soldiers are tasked with destroying an enemy radio post that doesn’t go as planned.
Starring Michael Caine & Cliff Robertson, it was one of a spate of World War II movies of the early 1970s that tried to capitalize on the success of “Kelly’s Heroes”.
Someone posted a copy online for others to check out.

Seth Rogen says he and his wife don’t want kids because they enjoy laying in bed naked smoking weed & watching movies…
How will this be ruined? “This is Spinal Tap 2″ is starting filming and will have cameos featuring Paul McCartney, Elton John, Questlove, Trisha Yearwood, and others. Rob Reiner is directing and will play Marti DiBergi…
TikTok just might have proved Congress’ point about being a national security threat with their latest stunt. They sent a push notification to enter your zip code and a “call now” button which would immediately call your congress member’s office. Now if they can do this, what else can they do?
Good grief. From LeBron’s school having low test scores to now Kobe’s statue having spelling errors…
Kind of reminds me of the movie, “Career Opportunities“…
Subjecting animals to such grueling conditions I think is inhumane. If people want to do this to themselves, have at it…
Here’s Gretchen Wilson & Alice in Chains doing “Barracuda” live…
Here’s the article Dan the Man referenced as far as the 30 bands that should not be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, MattyV found a similar article as well…
