A lot of people watch two different types of TV shows . . . the REAL shows they love, and then the shows that they have on in the background, when they’re busy dealing with . . . life. These background shows are great for multitasking because they can be entertaining . . . even if you’re only giving them about 20% of your attention. The people at “Business Insider” put together a list of 12 great mindless, background shows. Here they are:
- “20/20”. . . To satisfy true-crime obsessions, plus there’s a lot of repetition.
- “Futurama”. . . Witty sci-fi comedy, in simple self-contained episodes.
- “Wife Swap”. . . It’s good for this because it’s structured and over-produced.
- “The Real Housewives of Potomac”. . . Reality TV is great for ambient noise.
- “Emily in Paris”. . . The plot is fun, but pointless.
- The “Charmed”reboot . . . Easy to tune in and out freely.
- “Ted Lasso”. . . This one made the list for being REWATCHABLE.
- “The Great British Baking Show”. . . It has a pleasant, relaxed vibe.
- “The Great Pottery Throwdown”. . . Another wholesome, hobby-based competition show
- “Love on the Spectrum”. . . perfect to LISTEN TO while cleaning or working on something else.
- “The Office”. . . It’s filled with tons of jokes and quotable lines.
- “Shark Tank”. . . It’s easily digestible with several “pitch” segments.

Love his music….hate his music….regardless we keep hearing about Post Malone doing pretty awesome things. Posty has raised over $200,000 through a charity streaming event called “Gaming for Love”. He did four streams playing “Apex Legends” and each stream benefited a different charity. If you’re not familiar with how a gaming livestream works, you basically see the player’s screen, with a webcam video of the player in a corner. So in this case, you get to see Post’s screen, with a live webcam of him in the corner. The charities he played for were the Human Rights Watch . . . Project HOPE . . . United Way . . . and the Trevor Project. The events took place on July 18th, 20th, 22nd, and 24th. If you missed the streams on Twitch, they all got posted to YouTube yesterday on the Gaming for Love channel. There are also links to donate. In related news, Post is challenging a fan to a game of “Magic: The Gathering (LINK)“ for a chance to win $100,000. He chose a player last night and will face-off on the 11th.

Lars Nootbaar had a walk-off RBI single for a 4-3 win in yesterday’s Cards / Cubs afternoon game. Nolan Arenado scored the winning run in Game 1 and had a game-turning two-run homer in Game 2. Tyler O’Neill, out from under some injuries smashed his first home run at Busch Stadium since opening day. Dude drilled a three-run homer to end a tie and lead the Cardinals’ to a 7-2 win in yesterday’s night game. The series sweep of the Cubs now has the Cardinals at 57-48 and into a tie with Milwaukee on top of the NL Central. As the trade deadline arrived earlier this week the Cardinals were three games back. So how did our new pitcher Quintana do? The Cubs’ third baseman hit a smash against him in the first inning, but that was all the Cubs got vs. Quintana. He then retired the next 11 batters and got 16 outs from the final 17 batters he faced.
- A lawsuit filed by 11 LIV golf players reveals that golf Hall of Famer Phil Mickelson has been suspended by the PGA for two years. He was suspended for two months on March 22nd recruiting PGA Tour players to compete in LIV Golf events. Then, the golf pro played in the first LIV event in London, causing his suspension to be extended to March 31, 2023. When he played in the Portland LIV event, it was extended again until March 31. 2024. Several PGA players have signed lucrative deals with LIV Golf, which comes with a $25 million purse. Mickelson is now a part of a suit involving ten other LIV golfers to lift the suspensions, calling the PGA “uncompetitive”.
- Basketball superstar Brittney Griner was convicted in a Russian court on Thursday. Griner was found guilty on the charge of drug smuggling with criminal intent. She was sentenced to nine years in jail. Before the verdict, Griner offered an emotional plea for leniency. She said, “I never meant to hurt anybody, I never meant to put in jeopardy the Russian population, I never meant to break any laws here. I made an honest mistake and I hope that in your ruling that it doesn’t end my life here.” Griner continued, “I know everybody keeps talking about political pawn and politics, but I hope that that is far from this courtroom. I want to say again that I had no intent on breaking any Russian laws. I had no intent. I did not conspire or plan to commit this crime.” Of course, there’s a lot of POLITICS in play here. Brittney’s ruling came faster than expected, and it was just shy of the max of 10 years. Most Russians who are convicted get less than half that. So maybe by maximizing the severity, it gives Russia more leverage in dealing with the U.S. Griner was arrested in February for having cannabis oil in her luggage as she went through a Moscow airport. She was also fined 1 million rubles, or about $16,700. S. officials are reportedly trying to get Griner back home with a prisoner swap. So far, the effort has been rejected by Russia.
Terrell Owens was involved in a tense confrontation with a neighbor on Wednesday night, and the Hall of Famer captured some of the exchange on video. Owens streamed the incident on Instagram live. The video shows the former wide receiver in an argument with a woman on a bicycle who accused him of driving recklessly. The woman, whom Owens referred to as “Karen” numerous times, said Owens nearly hit her with his car. She claimed T.O. then got out of his car and tried to intimidate her after she yelled at him. At one point in the video, the woman can be heard telling Owens, “You’re a black man approaching a white woman!” Police were called during the altercation. It does not appear any arrests were made. You can see the video that Owens streamed below, but beware that it contains inappropriate language –LINK
A hockey player from an adult league in Canada straight-up kicked an opponent in the face with his skate during a mid-game scuffle … and the incident was so reckless, police now tell TMZ Sports they’re investigating it all. The scary scene happened during an Adult Safe Hockey League game on July 29th at Scotia Barn in Burnaby. You can see in the video from the arena, two players from opposing teams were fighting each other in the 3rd period … when, suddenly, one of the guys appeared to intentionally kick the other with the blade of his skate. The player wearing a #90 jersey immediately fell onto the ice and covered his face. His teammates, meanwhile, went after the kick suspect before refs ultimately intervened. The guy was issued a penalty, and ejected from the game. The Burnaby Royal Canadian Mounted Police tells us the victim received medical treatment for injuries he suffered from the kick — adding that they’ve since launched an investigation – LINK
