On Thursday, March 20, Rylan's mother appeared on his YouTube series, Air Rylan, which is sponsored by Jet 2 holidays. In the past he has hosted guests like the One Show's Alex Jones, Ruth Langsford and influencer and I'm a Celebrity star GK Barry.
The pair started discussing the presenter's love life, as his mother alluded that he had been on a date the night before. To which he said, 'Have you got people watching me or something?' and his mother,71, replied: 'No, why would I do that?' For the latest TV and showbiz gossip sign up to our newsletter

The 36-year-old later admitted that he had his mother tracked, after an unfortunate incident when his mother turned up at his house. He said: 'I told you categorically that day, don't come round tomorrow morning I'm not there, and what did you do?'
He said that his mother had turned up despite his deterrence, leaving the presenter shocked as he was not only in the house but he had company in bed with him. Linda responded: 'Oh well don't matter.'
He added: 'Well it does matter because I was in bed with someone and I heard Rossss.'
They discussed several other funny stories including the time that Rylan's mother ended up in hospital on holiday and how a fall with an ice cream ended up costing 120 grand.
Rylan joked: 'When you fell you were more bothered about the ice cream and that resulted in a medical jet and three surgeries. I mean it was a lovely hospital.'
The presenter's fans loved the episode and were demanding more content from him and his mother. One fan commented on the video: 'We need a Rylan Linda reality show, you 2 are always hilarious'.
Another added: 'I cannot tell you how much i respect rylan. Such a funny, intelligent human. Just when i thought i couldnt adore him more, he started doing content with his mum. The perfect duo'
Fans of the presenter may already recognise Linda, or well recognise her voice at least, from Rylan's BBC Radio 2 show on a Saturday afternoon. In the show he has a segment with his mother, who is very popular with listeners. So popular in fact when Rylan had time off recently, Paddy McGuiness, the stand-in host, still gave Linda a quick call. The segment sees Rylan giving his mother a ring to find out what she's been up to that week, and what her weekend plans are.
Rylan is set to be hosting Comic Relief's Red Nose Day on BBC One for the first time on Friday, March 21 and is sure to bring his iconic humour and Essex charm with him, and hopefully his mother too by the looks of things.

Should 'New Heights' YouTube glitch concern NFL ahead of Chiefs-Chargers Week 1 game?
Taylor Swift's appearance on the "New Heights" podcast led to more than 1 million concurrent viewers on YouTube. The video feed on the platform abruptly ended about one hour and 45 minutes into the stream, which left many confused, since the show had a timestamp of more than two hours. The issue was resolved, but with the NFL and YouTube streaming the Week 1 game in Brazil between the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers on Sept. 5, it begged the question: should the NFL be concerned about YouTube's capability to stream a game to a worldwide audience that will command far more than one million viewers at once? It's not an unfamiliar situation for the league. Last season, as the first-ever NFL games aired live on Netflix set for Christmas Day approached, the streaming service also faced questions about the streaming capabilities in the wake of the issues viewers experienced during the Jake Paul-Mike Tyson fight. Netflix had roughly one month to figure out the issues and largely aced the test, with hardly any complaints throughout the two games (and a Beyoncé live halftime performance). YouTube does provide the NFL Sunday Ticket Package and many people watch the league through YouTubeTV. But those are premium, subscription-based services with a number of viewers the company – owned by Google – is now accustomed to. (The tech issues for Sunday Ticket during the 2023 season certainly irked fans.) The scale of the Chiefs-Chargers game will exponentially increase the viewership numbers compared to those products, especially since the game is free to watch. A spokeswoman from Google confirmed to USA TODAY Sports that it was not a YouTube issue that led to the glitch. After the calamities of the Paul-Tyson fight, Netflix addressed its issues in connecting its backup servers – utilized to account for the heightened traffic on the platform – with the countless internet service providers (ISPs) throughout the world. Worth noting is that millions of people will be using YouTube simultaneously not for the purposes of watching the AFC West matchup, which could also strain streaming capacity. The NFL would not have handed out exclusive rights to YouTube – financial terms have not been disclosed but its almost certainly in the nine-figure range after NBCUniversal paid more than $100 million to air the first-ever game in Brazil in 2024 on Peacock – if the league didn't think the company could pull it off without issue. Ultimately, YouTube corrected the "New Heights" issue and fans had their "Tayvis" moment. But come Week 1, the company won't have that leeway.

Nintendo's popular new ‘Mario Kart' cow draws a protest letter from PETA
Geek Life: Fun stories, memes, humor and other random items at the intersection of tech, science, business and culture. SEE MORE Cow, a breakout star in the new 'Mario Kart World' video game, wears a nose ring that is viewed as a painful accessory by the animal rights group PETA. (Screenshot via Nintendo on YouTube) The moos turned to boos over the depiction of a popular new video game cow character. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is protesting the design of Cow, a scooter-riding farm animal in the new 'Mario Kart World' because the character wears a nose ring. 'Nose rings are used by the meat and dairy industries to exploit, control, and even drag animals to their deaths,' PETA said in a letter (in full below) Thursday to Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa. Nintendo of America is headquartered in Redmond, Wash. The game launched exclusively on the new Nintendo Switch 2 game console, which released in June to much fanfare. And Cow has become a breakout star, as The New York Times reported in July, with videos on social media showcasing the bovine's popularity. PETA is less enthralled — at least when it comes to the nose ring. The organization is calling for Nintendo to redesign Cow's look, so it can 'race freely — without any painful reminders of the industries that treat animals like profit-making machines.' Read PETA's letter to Nintendo, and watch a trailer for 'Mario Kart World' below: Dear Mr. Furukawa: Greetings! I'm writing on behalf of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). PETA entities have more than 10 million members and supporters globally. We herd there's a new star in Mario Kart World: Cow! She is already winning hearts everywhere—including ours. But one detail has us hitting the brakes: The brass ring in Cow's nose. Would you please show empathy towards bovines and remove the nose ring? Here's why this is so important: Nose rings are used by the meat and dairy industries to exploit, control, and even drag animals to their deaths. These brass rings are crudely stabbed through the sensitive septum of cows and bulls, which can cause lasting pain and discomfort. The dairy industry will also clip spiked nose rings on baby cows so that the comforting act of nursing from their mother causes her pain and the baby is rejected and kicked away. To control bulls, a chain might be fastened from the nose ring to the bull's horn for even more pain-driven control. The brass ring in Cow's nose glosses over real world violence and cruelty to animals. That's why we're asking you to give this beloved bovine a small but meaningful upgrade: Remove the nose ring and let Cow race freely—without any painful reminders of the industries that treat animals like profit-making machines. Every animal is someone. So leave the rings to Sonic and let Cow breathe free!

‘F–k that': Hunter Biden crassly shrugs off Melania Trump $1 billion lawsuit threat over Epstein remarks
Hunter Biden crassly brushed aside first lady Melania Trump's threat to sue him for $1 billion if he doesn't retract 'false' and 'defamatory' comments linking her to late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. 'F–k that. That's not going to happen,' Biden said with a smirk during an interview on the YouTube show 'Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan' on Thursday. Hunter Biden had appeared in an interview on the same show just one week prior, on August 5th, where he first made the controversial claim.
