Mr. Met's stage presence needs work after Lumineers concert blunder
While trying to join in with the band on tambourine, Mr. Met whiffed catching said tambourine and then promptly fell off the stage while playing said tambourine before climbing back on the stage to try again.
This was just a nightmare sequence for Mr. Met, as nobody wants to embarrass themselves in front of thousands of people.
We appreciate the mascot's willingness to hop right back on the stage to give it another go, but this clip is going to follow Mr. Met around for the rest of the MLB season.

Don't be shocked when other MLB teams play this blooper on the Jumbotron when the Mets come to town for the rest of the season.

The Most Important Packers: No. 10 — Tucker Kraft
Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft (85) was a Pro Bowl alternate last season. The Green Bay Packers went 11-6 last season, sweeping the NFC West and the AFC South along the way. Overall, though, no one in the building was happy. The Packers failed to build on their terrific finish to the 2023 campaign, settled for the No. 7 seed in the NFC playoffs, and lost a Wild Card game to eventual Super Bowl champion Philadelphia. Afterwards, general manager Brian Gutekunst turned up the heat on everybody in the building. 'We need to continue to ramp up our sense of urgency,' Gutekunst said. 'I think it's time we started competing for championships.' Those are fair expectations. The Packers return 20 of 22 starters, and appear to have upgraded the roster via free agency and the draft. With several third and fourth year players trending upward, Green Bay should be poised to make a move. 'I think they're ready,' Gutekunst said. Now, it's time for the Packers to prove their G.M. right. Green Bay's first training camp practice is July 23. Between now and then I will count down the '30 Most Important Packers' heading into the 2025 campaign. At No. 10 is tight end Tucker 10 Tucker Kraft, TE Last season Kraft was a Pro Bowl alternate after starting all 17 games and finishing second on the team in receptions (50) and yards (707). Kraft also led the Packers with seven receiving touchdowns. Kraft became just the fourth tight end since 2000 to have 80-plus catches, 1,000-plus receiving yards and average at least 13.0 yards per reception in his first two seasons. The others were New England Rob Gronkowski, San Diego's Hunter Henry and Baltimore's Mark Andrews. Kraft's 707 receiving yards last year were also the most by a Packer tight end since Jermichael Finley (767) in 2011. Kraft's average of 9.1 yards after the catch was also tops among all NFL tight ends and the second-best mark since 2000, trailing only San Francisco's George Kittle (9.9) in to date Kraft, a third round draft pick from South Dakota State in 2023, looked lost much of his rookie season. Kraft took off, though, after a kidney injury to Luke Musgrave in Week 11 of 2023 and finished the year with 355 receiving yards. That was the second-most in franchise history by a rookie tight end, trailing only Bubba Franks (363 in 2000). Kraft also finished with 31 catches in 2023, which was third in team history among rookie tight ends behind only Franks and Musgrave (both 34). Kraft didn't have his first reception of his rookie season until Week 4. In his last eight games of that year, though, Kraft had 29 catches for 321 yards and two touchdowns. 'A lot of it for him at the beginning was just assignment stuff, lining up in the right spot, getting off on the right snap count, blocking the right guy and then after that, like using good technique and all that stuff,' Packers offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich said of Kraft. 'So he was a little behind from that aspect, as far as the fundamental core issues that you have. Kraft ran the 40-yard dash in a respectable 4.73 coming out of SDSU. He also tied for the most bench press reps of 225 pounds (23) among the tight end group at the 2023 NFL Many expected Kraft and 2023 second round draft pick Luke Musgrave to split time last season. Instead, Kraft left Musgrave in the dust during training camp and established himself as Green Bay's No. 1 tight end. Kraft played 85.33% of the Packers' snaps, while the oft-injured Musgrave played just 13.38% of the snaps. Now, the question is how does Kraft move from good to great? Kraft is a tireless worker who wants to win as badly as anyone in the building. He's also developed into a leader rather quickly. Jermichael Finley holds the Packers' record for most receptions by a tight end in a single season (61) and Paul Coffman holds the mark for receiving yards in a season (814). Don't be surprised if Kraft surpasses both of those numbers this Said It … 'The great thing about Tuck is he'll do whatever you ask him and he's working his tail off to be a complete player, so you can get him the ball in different ways, whether that's route running, different types of routes, where you put him. Obviously that's our job to put him in those spots and he works his tail off to when he does get in those spots to do something with the ball.' — Packers tight ends coach John Dunn on Kraft'One thing we spent some time on this offseason is just kind of where we can get him to take the next step and I think just his route-running ability, getting him on more individual things like that, and just kind of growing him there. I think he did a really good job in the run game. That's one thing that hopefully he can keep improving there to be a dominant player up front. Just trying to find different ways to give him the ball, that's gonna be the big thing for us.' — Packers offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich on Kraft'One thing I feel like I could've done better is separate in man-to-man. Most of my game was check downs underneath and my yards after catch ability, so I'm looking to put it all together. I'm looking to have every resource I need based off the repetitions I've gotten over and over and over this offseason. Last offseason, I had a torn pec. I didn't get a chance to have an opportunity to do any of this, so really being able to apply my technique and stack reps, coverages and schemes and fronts, I just got a much better feel of the game this offseason.' — Kraft on improving this seasonTHE TOP 30 • No. 30 — RB MarShawn Lloyd • No. 29 — WR Dontayvion Wicks • No. 28 — S Javon Bullard • No. 27 — WR Savion Williams • No. 26 — LB Isaiah McDuffie • No. 25 — OL Jordan Morgan • No. 24 — WR Matthew Golden • No. 23 — CB Carrington Valentine • No. 22 — WR Romeo Doubs • No. 21 — QB Malik Willis • N0. 20 — DE Lukas Van Ness • No. 19 — RG Sean Rhyan • No. 18 — LT Rasheed Walker • No. 17 — DT Devonte Wyatt • No. 16 — S Evan Williams • No. 15 — CB Nate Hobbs • No. 14 — LB Quay Walker • No. 13 — OL Aaron Banks • No. 12 — CB Keisean Nixon • No. 11 — K Brandon McManus

Lena Dunham's ‘Too Much': A Guide to All Those Cameos — and Each Wink to Her Own Celebrity Lore
Editor's Note: This story contains spoilers for 'Too Much,' now streaming Lena Dunham is back in the spotlight, and eight years after the conclusion of 'Girls,' we missed her. We've all known Dunham to be a voice of a generation, and she's now packing all her years of celebrity into her latest magnum opus: 'Too Much.' More from IndieWire John Goodman Doesn't Speak to Roseanne Anymore: 'I'd Rather Doubt If She Wants to Talk to Me' 'Dexter' Has 'Probably Done a Number on Me,' Says Michael C. Hall: 'I'm Not Crazy, I Know I'm Not Him' Sure, 'Too Much' is a critically acclaimed return to smart rom-coms with female audiences in mind. Did we expect anything less from Dunham? No. What is different, though, is the inclusion of nods to her own (at times, infamous) viral moments. This is Dunham laying bare for audiences once more — and only her true fans, raised being way too online, would get all the references to her lore. Dunham has promoted 'Too Much' as a semi-autobiographical series. 'Hacks' breakout star Megan Stalter plays the Dunham-esque Jessica, who relocates from New York to London to start fresh after a breakup. Jessica soon meets musician Felix (Will Sharpe), who challenges her to reevaluate her 30-something crisis. Dunham co-created the series with her real-life husband, Luis Felber, who also serves as an executive producer and provides original music. Despite unknowingly having crossed paths with Felber at the SXSW premiere of 'Girls,' Dunham didn't know Felber until moving to London (she has since stated that she will not return to live in NYC). Dunham is the creator, writer, and executive producer who directs eight out of 10 episodes. It's the packed punches of 'oh my gosh, is that really supposed to be [redacted] playing [redacted]?!' that make 'Too Much' not only must-see TV, but required viewing for anyone who witnessed Dunham endure the firestorm of media scrutiny amid her 'Girls' fame. ('I always joke that I need a T-shirt that says, 'I survived New York media in 2012 and all I got was this lousy T-shirt.' And all I got was this lousy PTSD,' Dunham recently said.) Even Dunham's own late dog gets a nod via Jessica's onscreen pooch, Astrid. Dunham detailed her cameo selection during the 2025 Tribeca Festival, per THR. 'I always try to write with somebody in mind. It just helps me when I'm writing, and usually it's somebody either that I admire or somebody that I already have a really great collaborative relationship with, and then you just kind of write them. And my goal is always: I love this person, so what is going to get them to come do a role, a couple episodes in a half-hour TV show like this?' she said. 'It isn't like, you know, Christopher Nolan is calling to invite you to do 'The Odyssey.' This is very specific. And so my goal is [to] always write them a different kind of part than you've seen them do before, or write them something that's so in their wheelhouse that they're like, 'It's just going to be so fun to come in and crush it.' But no in between; no vanilla. I'd rather go bold and send them something where they're like, 'Why the fuck did you send me that?' than make them feel like they're getting handed the same part that they get to do every time. I'm still shocked that all these schedules worked and all these people came together because everyone on the show is who I wrote the role for.' This is Dunham's mic drop moment, the final say on the record of her highly publicized relationships, by way of Netflix. Now, excuse us as we build our own Greg Kornacki board for the Dunham cinematic universe below. Rita Wilson, who played Marnie's (Allison Williams) unhinged mother on 'Girls,' is now Jessica's (Stalter) and Nora's (Dunham) narcissistic mom Lois. Who else could it be? This one is also self-explanatory: Rannells is a fellow 'Girls' alum, and after first playing Hannah's (Dunham) ex-turned-gay-bestie Elijah, he's now cast as Jessica's (Stalter) brother-in-law and Nora's (Dunham) husband Jameson, who leaves her to explore his pansexuality. The 'Marvelous Mrs. Maisel' and 'The Penguin' alum plays, with no doubt in our minds, a stand-in for Dunham's long-term ex, musician and music producer Jack Antonoff — though Dunham insists Michael Zegen's character is an 'amalgamation' of all her exes. Antonoff and Dunham dated for five years during her 'Girls' fame (the series ran from 2012 to 2017). Taylor Swift and Lorde collaborator Antonoff parted ways with Dunham in 2018. 'Too Much' does not shy away from showcasing the dissolution of a partnership; the series includes a slew of claims against both the characters, with Stalter's Jessica having to emotionally escape the twisted relationship with Zegen's Zev. There is a Swift needle drop, with 'Bigger Than the Whole Sky,' which makes sense as Swift and Dunham have remained good friends. 'Too Much' the series ends with Jessica marrying supposed bad boy and Brit indie rocker Felix, played by 'The White Lotus' Season 2 breakout Will Sharpe. The parallels to Dunham's own relationship with musician Luis Felber (who records under the moniker Attawalpa, among ties to other bands) are obvious: Dunham moved to London in early 2021, where she quickly met and fell in love with Felber before marrying him later that year. Dunham's IRL close friend Ratajkowski plays Zegen's friend-turned-fiancée, Wendy Jones, whom he leaves Jessica for. So, is Ratajkowski's role based on Antonoff's real-life fiancée, actress Margaret Qualley? Or, for those who couldn't help but follow the Antonoff-Swift squad lore, is she a combo of Qualley and Lorde? OK, so not only did Andrew Scott star in Dunham's 'Catherine Called Birdy,' but he apparently also helped cast Stalter in 'Too Much.' Dunham told Glamour that Scott first introduced her to Stalter's comedy videos. 'He's always ahead of the crowd, and he had fanned out and had a coffee with her,' Dunham said. '[He] basically said, 'You two have to meet, you have something to make together.' I trust him implicitly, and went home and watched everything she'd ever made — and of course 'Hacks,' which is divine in its own right.' Now, who is Scott's pompous, divorced, scarf-clad director character supposed to be? We have our theories (emphasis on the sartorial choice of scarves!) but none of them are British…so dare we put them here? Regardless, former Hot Priest Scott's cameo, including him crying into Stalter's stocking-less thigh, is divine. Harrington, like Dunham, was also a staple of HBO at the time of 'Girls,' so they probably crossed paths at press events over the years. However, it is Harrington's uncanny resemblance to Dunham's 'Girls' co-star Christopher Abbott that has audiences' jaws on the floor when Harrington plays Stalter's deceased dad in a flashback. Abbott famously left 'Girls' due to creative differences with Dunham; he returned in 2016 to briefly reprise his role of Charlie, but has said he would not return to 'Girls' if the show were rebooted. Dunham singled out 'Mulholland Drive' icon Watts as one of her ideal collaborators during the 2025 Tribeca Festival, according to THR. It most likely helped that Watts recently co-starred with Sharpe in 'Emmanuelle.' Dunham said that she wanted Watts to return to the comedic roles that she took on early in her career. 'I thought, let me write her something that's like, not an elegant lady role, that's like an elegant lady to the left role, like an elegant lady who's railing cocaine role,' Dunham said. 'I want to speak to the thing I think you don't get to do, which is be the funniest fucking person in the world, because you also happen to look like a beautiful British aristocrat, and so people don't always know to ask that of you.' Now, Watts plays Ann, Jessica's boss' (Richard E. Grant) wife, who becomes a mentor to her over the course of a crazy coke-fueled dinner party. No one can forget that the beloved Grant played Jessa's (Jemima Kirke) drug-addled boyfriend in rehab on 'Girls.' This time, Grant stars as Jessica's (Stalter) boss Jonno, who is married to Ann (Watts). Dunham co-starred alongside Fry for 'Treasure.' Now, he plays Felix's father, Simon, in 'Too Much' (Fry was Dunham's dad in the 2024 father-daughter road trip movie 'Treasure,' co-starring Dunham). While Bravo plays Jessica's (Stalter) fashionable fellow American coworker Kim, this isn't Bravo's first time working with Dunham. Bravo acted in 'Camping,' which Dunham co-created; Bravo also directs Episode 8 of 'Too Much,' 'One Wedding and a Sex Pest.' Dunham has frequently called 'Cheers' alum Perlman her 'comic idol,' while Perlman cited Dunham as one of the most powerful women in Hollywood in 2014. Dunham and Perlman's recent 'Barbie' co-star America Ferrera also made a viral speech against then-Presidential nominee Donald Trump together in 2016. Now, Perlman is playing Dunham and Stalter's grandmother Dottie onscreen. When casting the most beautiful, most likable, and therefore most threatening ex for your latest love interest, 'Blue Is the Warmest Color' and 'Passages' star Exarchopoulos would be the ideal actress every time. And because it's Dunham, of course, she landed the star. Exarchopoulos plays Polly, the too-good-to-be-hated former lover and now best friend of Felix (Will Sharpe). Despite Dunham not collaborating with Exarchopoulos before, the actress is a standout supporting character. All episodes of 'Too Much' are now streaming on Netflix.

‘Dexter' Has ‘Probably Done a Number on Me,' Says Michael C. Hall: ‘I'm Not Crazy, I Know I'm Not Him'
Dexter Morgan is back, officially, now that Paramount+ with Showtime dropped the first episode of 'Dexter: Resurrection' on Friday, July 11. IndieWire's Ben Travers gave the series cautiously positive marks, writing, 'Dexter's new lease on life may actually be worth waking the dead.' New episodes will continue weekly through September 5. Michael C. Hall has been playing Dexter now, off and on, since 2006. While Hall has certainly appeared in numerous other projects in the 19 years since the pilot aired — from 'The Crown' to 'Safe' and 'Game Night' — the 'Dark Passenger' (Dexter's nickname for his thirst to kill) has been character he just can't shake, though he assured Vanity Fair in an interview that leaves Dexter's unsavory qualities on set. More from IndieWire John Goodman Doesn't Speak to Roseanne Anymore: 'I'd Rather Doubt If She Wants to Talk to Me' Lena Dunham's 'Too Much': A Guide to All Those Cameos - and Each Wink to Her Own Celebrity Lore 'Thankfully, I'm not predisposed to act on the kind of compulsions that Dexter's afflicted by — but yeah, I mean, certainly when we finish shooting a season, I need some time to just put it away, if nothing else,' he explained. 'It's just his life is so stressful. I could never live a life this fraught with stress. I mean, I guess everybody's life is stressful, but Dexter's is sort of beyond.' Hall does speculate, though, on why he is able to play the character, for which he has received six Emmy nominations, so well. 'I'm not crazy; I know I'm not him. I know he doesn't actually exist. He's just words on a page, and a character, and an idea that remains a mysterious one for me. I don't feel that I necessarily have any more of a hold on the character than I ever did. I intuitively know how to play him, but I don't know — he's probably done a number on me that I couldn't even tell you about because the lines are so blurred. But I don't think I'm him, thankfully,' he said. Asked by Vanity Fair what his 'Dark Passenger' was, Hall responded, 'None of your business.' Hall also described the new season — which moves the action from Los Angeles to New York City — as an opportunity for the character to have 'a second chance at life,' saying that Dexter has 'been finally released from what's been a burdensome relationship to his past.'
