CHOPPED 420 (DISCOVERY+)
Premieres Tuesday, April 20

Talented and experienced chefs create ganja-infused dishes.

During [one] episode, the chefs contend with spot prawns and borscht in the appetizer round. In the entrée round, the remaining chefs are greeted with chocolate dentures, an ingredient you'd have to be high to come up with, while the last two competitors standing blaze into the dessert round only to be faced with a bottle of ketchup. The chef that keeps a clear head despite all the haze in the air will be crowned the 420 champion.

Other episodes feature host Ron Funches presenting the chefs with sake popsicles to use in their dishes that will have the judges flying high and seeing double. And see what happens when the chefs must use cannabis to compliment the duo of armadillo eggs and eel.

Who needs April Fools' Day jokes when Discovery+ exists?

Papa Roach's "Last Resort" features hilariously in Jerrod Carmichael's 2021 Sundance film On the Count of Three.


The current number one mainstream rock song in America is a Papa Roach song from 2019.

This Friday, Papa Roach will release a SECOND greatest hits album:

PAPA ROACH has released 21 Top 5 singles over the course of its distinguished career — 12 of which are included in the new greatest-hits collection from the past 10 years. [source]

Sporcle Quiz Idea:

Customers who viewed The Better Noise Years also viewed a new Offspring album

…that features a piano version of "Gone Away"

…that sounds like Gary Jules' cover of "Mad World."

Does…does Papa Roach have more hits than The Offspring?

Per Billboard's mainstream rock airplay chart history:

Papa Roach
6 No. 1 Hits
22 Top 10 Hits
31 Songs

The Offspring
2 No. 1 Hits
14 Top 10 Hits
26 Songs

Melissa Auf der Maur produced a dramatic thriller about the Unabomber.

Yes, yes, it is.

Thinking about how The Ringer's House of Carbs podcast changed its House of Cards-inspired artwork after Kevin Spacey was cancelled, and then was itself cancelled after frequent guest Adam Rapoport was cancelled.

Ghost of Vroom 1
Ghost of Vroom [Mike Doughty and Andrew "Scrap" Livingston]

You have my curiosity.

DOUGHTY: The short version of the story is, I started writing Soul Coughing music again. I called up Soul Coughing and said, "Do you want to do this?" I got back a hot plate of crazy.

I was like, "Well, thanks, guys" Then I went and just made the album, and Mario Caldato is of that time period, like the Beasties, everything. Their whole universe was my everything, and working with him was incredible.

This is the Soul Coughing stuff that was never made. It's a very specific return to '94, '95 Soul Coughing. I'm getting deep, but the way the band sounded at the end of the Ruby Vroom tour, but before we went in with David Kahne to make "Super Bon Bon" and "Lazybones," all those songs. [source]

Now you have my attention.

Not Solo Coughing, but Soul of Soul Coughing.

Rory: Autotribute band.

I'm trying to think of another frontman who formed a spiritual successor to their own group with no other original members.

MARRIAGE OR MORTGAGE (NETFLIX)
Premieres Wednesday, March 10

DESCRIPTION:
A wedding planner and a real estate agent compete to win the hearts and budgets of spouses-to-be. Will they pick fairy-tale nuptials or a dream home?

What kinda "lunch with Jay-Z"-ass premise is this? Dream wedding is the Price Is Right showcase with a bedroom set.

Dream wedding or dream honeymoon is equally uncompetitive… Sex or money is Netflix's Too Hot to Handle…

Reality Competition Idea: The Auction. Couples compete for money to spend in an auction at the end featuring a dream wedding, a dream home, et cetera.
