Kendall Jenner Defacing Property, Brandon Aiyuk Goes Undercover & Guy Poops His Pants In Boston Marathon
Y'all, that show Fallout on Amazon Prime is fantastic.
The storyline is fascinating. The music is interesting. The characters are great. I love the nostalgic 1950s sets, and the dark comedy is brilliant. Plus, there's a cool dog.
For someone whose gaming doesn't extend beyond Super Mario, Duck Hunt and (later) Mario Kart on N64, I really like TV shows based on video games. Fallout, The Last of Us, Resident Evil… all bangers. Halo was OK.
But now that I'm done with that, I need recommendations for more TV shows. I'm not talking about the obvious ones. (Trust me, I've seen The Office.) But rather, underrated streaming originals that maybe I haven't heard of yet. They don't have to be the greatest shows of all time — just captivating enough to entertain me on the treadmill. Because I'm about to be spending a lot of time there.
In case you haven't been keeping up with Screencaps, Joe Kinsey is sponsoring a Ragnar team. That's a 200-mile relay — split among 12 people. While most of the team is made up of Screencaps faithful, I am the designated OutKick employee runner.
And I'll do my best not to sh-t my pants like this guy did at the Boston Marathon.
Actually, I wholeheartedly promise I will not do that. Kinsey always says "anything for content," but I draw the line at soiling myself.
My official Ragnar training regimen starts May 20 (20 weeks out from the race on Oct. 4). But until then, I'll be incorporating more and more cardio in the gym to amp up for all the running I'll be doing outside this summer. So pretty please send me those treadmill shows!
OK, that's enough about exercise. We have a lot to get to today. Grab a cold one from the garage fridge. It's Nightcaps time!
Kendall Jenner Has Disrespected AC/DC
And I, for one, will not stand for it.
In case you're not keeping up with the Kardashians, Kendall Jenner is one of the (approximately) gazillion celebrities with her own line of tequila. It's called 818.
Last week, her team partnered with a bar called Club 5 in Indio, Calif. — just a few miles away from the Coachella music festival. It was a western-themed pop-up bar where influencers and wannabe influencers could grab free samples of various viral products, taste tequila, buy merch and take Instagram photos in front of an "818 Outpost" mural.
About that mural, though… It wasn't actually painted on the side of the bar. It was, from my understanding, a gigantic board that was essentially placed over the top of the already-existing mural — one of rock legends AC/DC.
According to a scathing press release put out by bar owner Randy Franco, though, the 818 installation damaged the AC/DC mural. Kendall's team reportedly left it scuffed and chipped in the aftermath of the Coachella gimmick and allegedly made no offer to help restore it.
Franco told TMZ that he and his partners gave 818 permission to use the wall and to put up the sign, but he asked them to use a protective layer underneath. They didn't. Instead, they slapped it on with adhesive and called it a day.
Apparently, according to emails obtained by TMZ, Randy's mother Carmen OK'd the condition of the wall before Kendall's team left — essentially putting them in the clear.
Way to go, Mom! Sheesh.
Anyway, speaking of murals, there's already a Caitlin Clark one in Indianapolis. So that's pretty cool.
Brandon Aiyuk Is Eatin' Good In The Neighborhood
Remember that show Undercover Boss? It's where the CEO of a big company would dress up as a regular employee so he or she could see firsthand what it's like to work there. The show would highlight these tragic stories about the hardships the employees faced in their personal lives, and, when the boss revealed his true identity at the end of the show, he/she often rewarded the employees with salary increases, promotions, scholarships for their kids, and various other wonderful things.
I'm not ashamed to admit I'm a total sucker, so I'd usually be in tears by the end of each episode.
Well, here's something along those same lines: We have no idea whether Brandon Aiyuk will be a San Francisco 49er this fall, but if football doesn't work out, he's always got a job waiting for him at Applebee's.
The wide receiver spent the day working undercover at the ol' Neighborhood Grill & Bar as part of a promotion for the new "Whole Lotta Bacon Burger" menu item.
Hey, you gotta do something to pass the time in the off-season while your agent is combing through grueling contract negotiations.
It reminds me of the time Tyreek Hill went undercover as an old grandpa and raced random people in South Beach.
Let's Check In With Gen Z
Sometimes I find myself down a Gen Z TikTok rabbit hole. Make fun of me if you want, but it's truly a fascinating case study into the minds and the very strange behavior of the younger generation. And don't get me wrong: I'm not dogging on Gen Z. I, too, was once in my 20s, and I'm sure I did plenty of weird stuff, too. I just didn't have TikTok to document all of it.
Anyway, one thing that Gen Z girls are obsessed with is anti-aging. Every time I open the app, I see 20-year-olds talking about Botox and lip filler and the products they use to try to make themselves look younger.
Which is hilarious because they are 20 and beautiful. But it's also kind of sad that they feel like their first wrinkle will be the end of the world. (Maybe it's because manfluencers like Charlie Kirk are out here saying we women lose all value once we turn 30. But that's a rant for another time.)
Anyway, here's Exhibit A: a 20-something who is terrified drinking out of the straw of her Stanley Tumbler will give her smokers' lines.
But have no fear! For just $8 on Amazon, you can own an anti-aging Stanley cup straw! You may not develop fine lines around your lips, but you will look ridiculous.
Beauty has its price, I suppose.
The Stanley Tumblers are an anomaly in themselves. What is it about these gigantic reusable cups that has such a stranglehold on women? Remember when everyone lost their minds over the limited-edition Target/Starbucks Stanleys?

Well, the good news is, if you didn't get your hands on the elusive pink cups, you can always pay someone else to use theirs for a photo shoot!
Let me know if Yetis ever get trendy again. Because I'm happy to rent mine out for a nominal fee.
Dog Friendly, Child Free?
This next post has been ALL OVER my Twitter/X feed the last couple of days, and I want to get your opinion on it.
This fella named Kyle posted a photo of himself next to a sign (outside a bar) that read, "Dog Friendly, Child Free." He captioned it, "Found my new local."
When this guy took this seemingly innocuous photo, he probably had no idea it would garner 68.8 MILLION views (and counting) and be hijacked by a bunch of angry parents accusing him of hating children, discriminating against children, being a selfish asshole, etc.
But WHY is everyone so up in arms over this? Granted, I don't have children. But I have no issue with A BAR not allowing kids. And dog-friendly patios are pretty common at bars — at least around where I live. If you don't like dogs or if you need to bring your children, simply pick another place to eat and drink.
Disclaimer: I do think it's BS when people complain about kids and babies on airplanes and other family-friendly spaces. Kids have a right to exist in public, and sometimes — no matter how much a mom or dad tries to comfort them — babies cry. Unless an unsupervised child is relentlessly kicking your seat or throwing pretzels at you or something, shut up about kids on planes.
But all these people are mad that Kyle wants to go to an adults-only BAR?
Let me know what you think: Does this guy deserve the relentless bashing he's getting on Twitter? Or does the angry parent mob need to chill out and recognize that the world doesn't revolve around their kiddos? Email me at Amber.Harding@outkick.com with your thoughts.
One More Thing
I make frequent trips to Florida to visit my parents and my mother-in-law who live there. But one thing I haven't done in the Sunshine State is to take a kayaking trip while I'm down there. I've always wanted to!
But after watching this video, I no longer want to do that.
When I said earlier I'd never sh-t my pants like the Boston Marathon guy, I lied. This is a scenario where I'd sh-t my pants.
