I can’t make you watch ‘The Mole’ on Netflix, but I can strongly suggest it.

Y’ALL: THE FIRST TWO SEASONS OF THE MOLE ARE ON NETFLIX. GO BINGE THEM. ~takes a deep breath~ So for those of you who don’t remember, The Mole was a reality competition that aired for two seasons on ABC back in 2001, and it was hosted by pre-CNN Anderson Cooper — he’s so young, his hair isn’t completely white! The concept of the show is that a group of people face a series of challenges, each earning some sum of money that will go into a pot that they will all share at the end of the season. Except! One person is The Mole, who is actively working to undermine them and win the pot of money for themselves. Each episode, the people in the group are quizzed as to whom they think is The Mole, and the most off-the-mark is eliminated, thereby making it everyone’s strategy to be as suspicious as possible. It’s basically Among Us, the reality show. (Note: I’ve never played Among Us and have no idea what I’m talking about.) It was really fun!

Unfortunately, Netflix does not seem to have the two “Celebrity” seasons, both of which featured Corbin Bernsen and Stephen Baldwin who were completely bonkers, but maybe if we all stream the other two seasons, they’ll add them?

Ha! Mike Lindell is pulling his My Pillow ads from Fox News because they won’t run a different commercial advertising some “cyber symposium” he is planning on hosting next month to promote The Big Lie. I guess if you want to see commercials for shitty, overpriced pillows, you’ll have to go to Newsmax or OANN now.

There is not an official recipe for Ted Lasso‘s biscuits, but this should get you pretty close.

And while we’re talking Ted Lasso, Coach Beard (or as I think of him, Mike’s Cousin Coach Beard) is a man of mystery.

I bet Imelda Staunton‘s Elizabeth II would enjoy Ted Lasso’s biscuits. NOT AN INNUENDO.

The Bob’s Burgers movie is on its way, be cool.

I know that it’s a niche streamer, but $800 a month for BritBox seems … high.

Feel better, Ali Fedotowsky!

My goodness, get better soon, Kyle Richards.
