The Wickedator

Swish Edition

This week Dale & Scott are talking about Betty White’s new USPS stamp; ask who will win the battle between “Gladiator II” and “Wicked” this weekend (the Wickednator, anyone?); Peter Dinklage is NOT dead despite a viral TikTok video; Jake Paul, Mike Tyson, and Netflix break records last Friday night; John Krasinski is named People’s Sexiest Man Alive for 2024; the Piña Colada turns 70; Froot Loops are all over the news; 130 hamsters escape on a commercial airplane; Oakland’s airport doesn’t get to change their name; Conan O’Brien will host next March’s Oscar telecast; pickle fries are a thing at Burger King; Taco Bell to launch chicken nuggets (like everyone else); talk about unlikely celebrity friends—Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg is hanging out and making music with rapper T-Pain; conspiracy theorist Alex Jones is suing to block The Onion from buying his InfoWars brand; Barilla is launching snowflake shaped pasta for the holidays; and, if you need a gift idea, KFC has a Bucket of Chicken and a Buttery Biscuit candle you can buy. All of the silliness, and much more pop culture news and views for the week that was.
