    but that feeling won't last. In this new video, you'll find out what it
    would really take to survive as the last human on Earth and why the scariest threat isn't what you think.

    HERE'S WHY BAD BUNNY WAS A TERRIBLE CHOICE FOR THE SUPERBOWL HALFTIME SHOW!: Chad Prather questions the NFL's choice of Bad Bunny for the Super Bowl halftime show. The commentator expresses concern over the artist's political views and musical style's appropriateness for a football audience. Prather also critiques the NFL's broader cultural choices. https://youtu.be/05OXcXA5CZc?si=l6kvADAiplpx1zdh

    TROUBLEMAKERS CLAP BACK AT VIOLET AFFLECK'S INFURIATING UN SPEECH AND MEN'S FASHION DISASTERS:
    Maureen Callahan reads Troublemaker mail and comments on Violet Affleck's infuriating UN speech where she demands ongoing mask mandates, Greta Thunberg's embarrassing frog hat, the pitfalls of men's fashion, reactions
    to our Amy Griffin segment on her so-called memoir The Tell, and more. https://youtu.be/fTCziFfx91s?si=6H2xe4h7-8zaDklS

    SVENGHOULIE:
    "The Ghost and Mister Chicken". Don Knotts investigates a haunted house
    that turns out to be some sort of Scoobie Doo thing. I have to wonder why
    Don Knotts was a thing. He might be nice man, but I always HATED him in
    every TV and movie role he was ever in. Were people stupid back then?

    Thanks to the NFL's overreaction to BLM's 2020 lovefest, where they put Jay-Z and Beyonce in charge of non-football entertainment at the NFL, for the sixth straight year in a row, we're getting another non-white Super Bowl halftime act.

    ItrCOs as if the NFL can't seem to locate any white artists in our culture, despite the fact that one of its players is about to marry the biggest musical celebrity of the last 20 years. But I guess she's not eligible, because white. And while her music isn't exactly to my taste, it's at least music. There are melodies and harmonies and it has tonal structure. It's not some guy with
    30lbs of jewelry hanging off his neck yelling unintelligibly into a microphone with a bleep every few seconds because the words violate FCC regulations.

    Someone needs to tell the NFL, whose corporate office seems stuck in 2020's worship of George Floyd, that there are just as many rednecks in the audience who would love, say, a country music halftime show as there are inner city gangbangers who'll take a 10-minute break from slinging fenty on the corner to watch Kendrick Lamarr call another rapper a pedophile in what's billed as a show for the whole family.

    Not only that but this "Bad Bunny" character doesn't speak a word of English (or sing any songs in English). They're sending a message that the culture of this country isn't for you anymore. It's for the ones they're replacing you with.
