Nickelback made a four-minute movie with Megan Thee Stallion promoting Flamin' Hot Dill Pickle Cheetos. It is real. It cost about thirty dollars a bag and is available in Canada through exotic candy stores. The Pickleback is here. The same band that turned down a million dollars from McDonald's for How You Remind Me because it was their first hit and they were not selling out has now done this, and it somehow tracks perfectly.

A Zimbabwean comedian named Learn More Jonasi translated the opening theme of The Lion King from Zulu and Xhosa into English during his standup routine and on a podcast. Disney's official translation is all hail the king. His translation is look, it's a lion, oh my god. The composer is suing him for $27 million. He was served the papers while he was on stage performing.

Formula One has two races cancelled in April because of the war in Iran. The Lego collaboration has sets available while you wait. Throwback Thursday is 1969, Apollo 11, and two events coming up that Ed Conroy says defined the year in ways that people still have not fully reckoned with.
