Pocket pancakes? Brewers selling ballpark flapjacks after Pat Murphy's viral moment
Murphy went viral in a recent interview for pulling a pancake out of his uniform pocket and taking a bite — sharing the flapjack with the reporter — as he detailed different ways he shoves food into his pockets to snack on in the dugout.
The moment has spawned quite the movement in Milwaukee. The ballclub announced Friday that 'Murph's Pocket Pancakes' will be sold at American Family Field during Sunday games for the rest of the season, starting with this weekend's series against the New York Mets.
The Brewers haven't lost since Murphy whipped the pancake out of his pocket last week, building the best record in the major leagues.
He went on to continue eating his pancake in the postgame press conference while detailing other food items he has brought into the dugout.
'Waffles, pancakes, pizza,' Murphy said.
Murphy then was asked how he can put a slice of pizza in his pocket without staining the uniform.
'If it's cold pizza, you fold it up like a sandwich, you know what I mean,' Murphy said. 'You can eat it during the game. And then when I wear a hoodie, I have the pocket right here, and that's full of crumbs.'
The Brewers will be selling a 'Ball Four Pocket Pack' including four pocket pancakes and a choice of maple syrup or strawberry compote dipping sauce for $4.99. The 'Double Chicken 'n' Pancakes Pocket Pack' costs $7.99 and includes two pancakes stuffed with chicken tender and topped with chopped bacon and a maple syrup drizzle.

‘I wanted to be Nina Simone': Jeff Buckley documentary shows female influences
In the years since Jeff Buckley's shocking death at age 30 in 1997, his estate has sanctioned the release of 10 studio compilations, eight live collections, one box set, eight singles and five video recordings. In addition, there have been a rash of documentaries, produced in various countries around the world, as well as a dramatic depiction of him played by actor Penn Badgley in a movie whose title alludes to his musical father, Greetings from Tim Buckley. Collectively, that places him in the realm of other departed stars, including Jimi Hendrix, Miles Davis and Eva Cassidy, whose catalogues have been mined for every ounce of gold they can possibly produce. In that context, the title of the new Jeff Buckley documentary, It's Never Over, could easily read like a threat. Luckily, nothing could be further from the truth. The film winds up giving a largely familiar story a holistic reach like no project before it. However picked over the bones of Buckley's story may be, director Amy Berg has found fresh flesh by emphasizing the crucial role women played in his life starting with his mother, Mary Guibert, and fanning out to various girlfriends, most of whom are fellow artists who sometimes doubled as spiritual collaborators. Together, they show how a female spirit not only shaped Buckley's early life, it also provided a foundational part of his art. The earliest songs he sang as a kid were voiced by women, from Diana Ross's yearning reading of Ain't No Mountain High Enough to Judy Garland's self-immolating take on The Man Who Got Away. 'I wanted to be a chanteuse,' Buckley says in a vintage audio interview used in the film. 'Secretly, I think I wanted to be Nina Simone.' You can hear the connection in the intensity, range and sustain of his quaver, which also drew from the qawwali chants of the Pakistani devotional singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. In the film, Buckley refers to Khan as 'my Elvis'. At the same time, he drew profound inspiration from classically macho sources, initially through the scorched earth whomp of Led Zeppelin and, later, via the chest-beating yowls of Soundgarden's Chris Cornell. The breadth of those gender identifications allowed Buckley to idealize the Jungian concept of anima, which asserts that men have to recognize their feminine side in order to fully embrace their humanity, as well as to truly understand the role of women in their lives. In one vintage quote in the film, Buckley says, 'I decided to make a woman of music and give myself to her. At another point, I decided to make a man of music and give myself to him,' adding for good measure: 'Music was my mother. It was my father. It was the best thing in my life.' That last line can't be easy to hear for his actual mother, who co-produced the film and who guards his estate like a sentry, deciding who from his life can speak for him and who cannot. To her credit, Guibert allowed director Berg to cast Jeff's early years with her in a far from soft light. She was just a teenager when he was born, the product of a fleeting relationship with the visionary cult singer Tim Buckley. At the time, he was on the rise (or at least seemed to be), and, in his ambition, he ignored both her and the coming child. Five months into her pregnancy, Guibert recalls in the film, 'I knew I was never going to see Tim again.' While Tim Buckley ran off to pursue his dreams, her ambitions of being an actor and musician withered under the responsibility of raising the child. She's honest in the film about her own immaturity at the time, which meant that Jeff had to mother her in ways that came to haunt and anger him. The only time he saw his father was during several days they spent together when Jeff was a boy. His later attempts to reach his dad were ignored, then made impossible when Tim died of a heroin overdose at age 28 in 1975. Jeff harbored dark feelings afterwards, complicated further by the fact that music – his savior and muse – bound him inescapably to the man who abandoned him. Jeff's path to a career in music has been chronicled endlessly elsewhere and it's dutifully recalled in the film. Yet seldom, if ever, has the story had as caring a context as the one provided by the friends and lovers who spoke to Berg. They paint a portrait of someone whose insecurities and neurosis ran in tandem with his talent and daring. When Grace appeared and artists of the order of David Bowie and Robert Plant fell over themselves to praise him in interviews, Buckley buckled under the expectations of their awe. He was just as itchy about his anointment by People magazine as one of the 'most beautiful' men alive. A girlfriend in the film recalls him buying every copy of the magazine he could get his hands on so he could throw them in the trash. Stark as the contrast may have been between his often ugly view of himself and the beauty of his outward appearance, there's no denying the part it played in his myth. Like Jackson Browne, Buckley's soulful brand of handsomeness ideally mirrored the sensitivity and refinement of his art. The man behind that face is presented here as someone simultaneously confused and playful, sweet and lost. For a fresh insight, friends tell Berg they think he may have been manic depressive, a term given little airing back in the 90s, when Buckley died by accidentally drowning in the Mississippi River. Another coup for the film is the inclusion of voicemails he left for his mother, including one in which he excoriates her for her deficiencies and another in which he honors her perseverance and unwavering love for him. Despite that support, friends say Buckley had no idea how to grow into a mature man. As deeply as that vexed him, his melding of genders in his art allowed him to live his short life with the androgynous freedom of a child. Today Buckley would be 58, an unimaginable age for someone whom fate has forced us to see as forever young. Now he exists solely on a plane he might well appreciate, where he's less a person than a sound, a soul captured wholly in song. It's Never Over: Jeff Buckley is out now in US cinemas

Travis Barker's ex Shanna Moakler shows off her body in zebra swimsuit after Mounjaro confession
Shanna Moakler showed off her recent weight loss in a new snap she posted on Friday. The 50-year-old sizzled in a black-and-white zebra-stripe swimsuit for the social media post. Shanna's impressively slimmed-down figure was partly the result of the weight-loss drug Mounjaro, which she admitted to taking in June of 2024. The model admitted at the time that she had turned to a pharmaceutical solution to her rapid weight gain that she attributed to her grief over the death of both of her parents in 2023. Mounjaro is the version of the generic injectable drug tirzepatide that is approved by the FDA as a diabetes treatment, while an identical version of the drug is marketed as Zepbound for weight loss and obstructive sleep apnea treatment The medication, which is meant to be taken in combination with diet and exercise, clearly gave Shanna the results she was seeking based on her newest photos. Her one-piece Fashion Nova swimsuit featured a string halter top and a deep plunging neckline to showcase her bust. The suit featured a risqué high-cut bottom and a sash knotted around her taut tummy to hold it in place. The former Meet The Barkers star captioned the post:''It's no better to be safe than sorry,'' 🖤 suit by @fashionnova.' Fans in the comments were complimentary about Shanna's outfit and figure. One gushed: 'You look incredible!' Later on Friday, Shanna shared a video to her Instagram page poking fun at fan perceptions of her as being lazy and spending most of her day in bed. In the voice of an unseen critic, she captioned the clip: 'I saw on your MTV show all you do is stay in bed.' After showing off her stellar figure, Shanna emphasized how well another aspect of her life was going by posting a sweet photo of her boyfriend, the actor Greg Vaughn, to her Instagram Stories. She shared a black-and-white mirror selfie he had snapped, captioning it: 'My bf calls me from work and taughts Me with his hotness it's a problem [sic].'
