The Friday Link for 2/9/24

Happy weekend everyone.

Carl Weathers will be missed.  He was a great actor.  'Rocky' would not have been the hit it was without Weathers' Apollo Creed, we forget 'Force Ten from Navarone' (where he starred next to Harrison Ford and Robert Shaw), he had memorial performances in 'Predator,' 'Action Jackson,' 'Happy Gilmore,' and 'Toy Story 4,' and he had become a popular character in the Star Wars universe with his character Greef Karga on the hit TV show 'The Mandalorian.'

But it was his turn as Carl Weathers on Arrested Development which cemented him as Hollywood royalty to me. His comedic timing was top notch.  For him to stand out at times with the comedy legends of that show was a surprising side to his talent. 

Here are the scenes he had in Arrested Development.  Enjoy! 


Also tonight two great videos from Hot Ones. If you are not aware, Hot Ones is a show where the guest and host eat chicken wings with increasingly hotter and hotter hot-sauces on them.  It's a fairly entertaining show because the escalating heat of the sauces causes the actors to break from their celebrity mold and get very real while they do the interview. It's already created a few top-notch memes from Paul Rudd and Sydney Sweeney.

The worst sauce is actually two from the end, Da' Bomb, a diabolical concoction that serves no purpose other than hurting people.  It is brutal, causing sweats, crying, runny noses, occasional vomiting, and a lot of uncomfortable moments. 

Here are ten celebrity reactions to Da' Bomb.  Shaquille O'Neal's is an all-time classic moment.  Warning there is a lot of salty language with some of these guys. 



NOT in a million years!

Have a great weekend everyone.  Remember to get vaccinated for the flu and for COVID!  I don't want you sick, bankrupt, or dead.  Do yourself a favor and get vaccinated.
