Check out Bills QB Josh Allen in the newest Snickers commercials
Buffalo Bills quarterback and reigning NFL MVP Josh Allen continues to see his star grow off the field. This week, the candy bar brand Snickers released its newest ads in its long-running "you're not you when you're hungry" campaign. And they feature a familiar face. In the first commercial entitled "Bedtime", Allen, who was announced as a spokesman for the candy company in June, is seen while in full uniform and pads and sitting in a racecar bed, reading bedtime stories peppered with fantasy football references by a hungry father. A second commercial for Snickers ice cream, called 'Construction,' features Allen as a construction worker chatting with another worker on the construction site who's distracted thinking about the Bills' next game. An offering of a Snickers proves to be the remedy in both cases. Fans can watch both commercials via social media, on YouTube, streaming and digital, social media, and on broadcast TV channels through the end of the upcoming NFL season. In addition to the commercials, Allen is featured on limited-edition Snickers and Snickers ice cream packs. The Bills quarterback will also be sharing halftime hacks on the candy bar's website. Buffalo's star quarterback will share 'hunger-busting tips' starting on September 4. Snickers will be offering chances to win prizes along with the halftime hacks, including a trip to Super Bowl LX. 'I've always been a fan of Snickers, so putting my name – and my game – on these packs is a win,' said Allen this summer in a partnership promotional statement with Snickers. 'Whether you're taking the field or taking your fantasy line-up to victory, Snickers has your back when hunger strikes.' The MVP is featured on the wrappers of limited-edition Snickers and Snickers ice cream bars, and will be sharing "halftime hacks" and 'hunger-busting tips' starting on September 4th on the brand's website. Snickers will offer chances to win prizes, including a trip to Super Bowl LX. Which Bills fans hope the QB will star in as well.

Taylor Swift Appearance On 'New Heights' Hits Half A Billion Views
Taylor Swift captivated the Internet on Wednesday as she made an appearance on the 'New Heights' football podcast and generated over half a billion video views across social media platforms, easily one of the largest launches ever for a podcast episode. The full podcast episode on YouTube generated 13 million views (and counting) alone, surpassing the prior podcast episode record for 'New Heights.' Additionally, Swift's appearance produced 379 million video views on Instagram and 61.6 million views on X, while TikTok saw 34.5 million views. Threads had 1.1 million. The viewership figures, provided to me by media analytics firm Mondo Metrics, included official clips, the full show on YouTube and short-form edits posted on the 'New Heights' handles across different platforms. Mondo Metrics compiled the data from the podcast's first teaser promotion on early Tuesday to 5 p.m. ET on Thursday. Swift spoke with Kansas City Chiefs tight end and boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and his brother and former NFL offensive lineman, Jason Kelce, for two hours. The 35-year-old discussed her new album 'The Life of a Showgirl,' reclaiming control over her master recordings, the Eras Tour, her newfound love in football and more. 'It's a watershed moment,' said Nick Cicero, Founder of Mondo Metrics, which works with sports and entertainment entities like the Arizona Cardinals, the UFL and Men in Blazers. 'Swift could have chosen a late-night TV show or a magazine cover, but she chose an athlete-driven sports podcast. That tells you 'New Heights' has become more than a football show, it's a cultural stage. 'That should end the tired audio vs. video debate. The audience will go where the experience is best. In this case, the visual format amplified the entertainment value because Taylor is a visual artist.' Cicero told me that the biggest standout video platform for him was YouTube, which accumulated 20.4 million views as of Thursday afternoon. At one point, there were around 1.3 million concurrent viewers on YouTube during the two hour live stream. The 'New Heights' channel on YouTube also recently surpassed three million subscribers following the podcast episode. 'A significant portion of those viewers were watching on a big screen in their living room, the same way they'd watch a Diane Sawyer interview or a primetime special with a world leader,' noted Cicero, adding that Facebook Reels proved to be 'a surprise powerhouse' for the episode, totaling 51.4 million views. For many years, podcasters first wanted your ears, but now they want your eyes, too. Cicero shared that we've passed the novelty stage of video podcasting in the sports industry. Shows now reach mainstream distribution, compete with sports talk television and in some ways, are full-blown TV shows in 2025. For example, sports personality Pat McAfee has a reported $85 million licensing deal with ESPN to have his YouTube show aired across the network's platforms. 'Shows like 'New Heights,' 'Club Shay Shay' and 'The Pat McAfee Show' aren't just building audiences, they're building media channels that rival cable networks in influence,' Cicero said. On the Taylor Swift social video views, Cicero added, 'If you're a sports TV executive, these numbers should keep you up at night.'

I Made A Bonkers Pizza I Saw In A Disney Cartoon, And I'm Shocked Because It Was Actually Really Good?!
As a mom to a 1-year-old, there's a whole new world of ~entertainment~ I've recently discovered. And one of those things is Disney Jr., which is specifically geared towards preschoolers (and their families). BuzzFeed, Disney Jr. / Via In case you're wondering, you can find Disney Jr. shows on their popular YouTube Channel, their own TV network, and, of course, Disney+. And one of the premiere shows on Disney Jr. is the brand new Mickey Mouse Clubhouse+, which is a revival of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, which many of you may remember from the mid-2000s to mid-2010s. As a mom, I was impressed by how fun and interactive Mickey Mouse Clubhouse+ is. In fact, in one of the episodes, Goofy Pizza, everyone's favorite anthropomorphic dog shares a bonkers pizza recipe involving hot dogs and pickles. And, IDK if it's my recent lack of sleep that inspired me, but as someone who loves making food I see in movies and shows, as I was watching, I thought, Should to make this IRL?! Well, spoiler alert, I did. And, turns out it's super easy (and surprisingly good?!). Here's how it went... First of all, here's everything I used to make the pizza based on what Goofy used in the show: —Pizza dough —Pizza sauce —Shredded cheese —Hot dogs —Pickles —Onion —Ketchup —Mustard Just like Goofy, I started with the pizza dough. To make things easy, I used premade pizza dough from Trader Joe's. I've had this before and it's really good (IYKYK). Next, Goofy added the "tomater sauce," which I interpreted as pizza sauce. Again, I went with Trader Joe's pizza sauce because *Ina Garten voice* "store-bought is fine." Then it was time for the cheese. Now, in the video, they really don't add much cheese, which I was concerned about. But, for accuracy's sake, I also used a sparing amount. Then it was time for some sliced onions. Onions obviously aren't a strange pizza topping, but it's not something I normally get. So, again, I had some concerns. Then it was time for pickles. YUP. PICKLES. I think we can all agree that putting pickles on pizza is not ~common~, yes? Obviously, people have done it, but it's not something most of us would gravitate towards. I also wondered if this might make the pizza taste more like a burger? Next, the pièce de résistance, six whole (not sliced) hot dogs. If there's anything about this pizza that screams "Goofy," it's whole hot dogs. Then I popped the pizza in the oven and per the TJ's dough instructions, let it cook for 10 minutes. Obviously, unlike Goofy's pizza, my hot dogs did not come out with grill marks, LOL. But, I'm not gonna lie, it smelled pretty good when I took the pizza out of the oven. Also, mildly jealous that Goofy's cartoon pizza miraculously had A LOT more cheese after cooking. *side eye* And the final touch: adding ketchup and mustard to the hot dogs. *Chef's kiss* I thought the pizza looked cute, albeit questionable, when it was done. But I had MAJOR reservations about how it would taste. I legitimately thought it would be gross, LOL. To my huge was actually REALLY GOOD?! The pizza basically tasted like a good hot dog, but with better bread. In a way, it was like eating an open-faced hot dog, I guess? You really don't taste the pizza sauce; it's kind of an afterthought. And, turns out, not having that much cheese was actually perfect. I think if there had been more cheese, the whole thing would've been too greasy combined with the hot dogs. IMO, this would be something really fun to make with older children (my son is still really little, so he did not partake in the hot dog pizza LOL), but honestly, it'd be a fun and ridiculously easy thing for adults to make on their own, too. In the words of Goofy himself, "Gawrsh!" Who knew a cartoon pizza could turn out this good?!
