BEAVIS AND BUTT-HEAD Season 3 Drops Funny Trailer and Release Date — GeekTyrant
The hilariously dumb duo in animation is back, and they're ready to cause more chaos. The third season of the revival of Beavis and Butt-Head (the show's eleventh overall) is officially set to premiere on Comedy Central on September 3. The first two revival seasons streamed exclusively on Paramount+, but as announced in June 2024, the series will now air on Comedy Central moving forward. And yes, Paramount has dropped a brand-new trailer to get fans hyped. The trailer delivers everything you'd expect. At one point, in what is clearly a dream sequence, Beavis and Butt-Head get a shoutout from Metallica before asking: 'How much would it cost to buy the band?' Naturally, chaos follows as they end up knocking James Hetfield in the head with a gold bar. Classic. The series first premiered in 1993 on MTV, offering its signature satirical and stupidly brilliant commentary on youth culture. It quickly became a cultural phenomenon, loved by many and loathed by just as many. After ending in 1997, the series returned briefly in 2011 for an eighth season, and now it's found new life again in this latest revival. Of course, the franchise has expanded beyond TV. Paramount Pictures released Beavis & Butt-Head Do America in 1996, and more recently, Beavis & Butt-Head Do the Universe hit Paramount+ in 2022. There was even a spinoff, Daria, which ran for five seasons on MTV. Mike Judge, the creator and voice behind the iconic duo, is back at the helm. Judge also serves as an executive producer alongside Lew Morton, Michael Rotenberg, and the team at Titmouse including Chris Prynoski, Shannon Prynoski, Ben Kalina, and Antonio Canobbio. This isn't the only nostalgia play for Judge. He's also bringing back King of the Hill for Hulu with a brand-new 10-episode season dropping August 4. Beavis and Butt-Head Season 3 hits Comedy Central on September 3, and if the trailer is any indication, it's going to be just as idiotic and hilarious as ever.

'Criminal' Is on The 100 Best Podcasts of All Time
True Crime Criminal is a true-crime podcast that attempts to set itself apart from a crowded field through its humanity, with a mission to never depict people as simply 'good' or 'evil,' but to dive into the more complex nuances that lie between those cartoonish poles. Born in 2014, Criminal started out of the pockets of its creators, who recorded early episodes in a closet, before growing the series' platform and landing at podcast giant Vox Media in 2021. Host Phoebe Judge provides a compassionate look at the lives of real people—both those who have committed crimes and those who have been affected by them. With almost 400 episodes to date, the episodes span from the harrowing story of a Haitian migrant sent to Guantanamo Bay in the 1990s to a TV journalist who helped more than 100 murder suspects negotiate safe surrender to the police. She investigates and slowly pulls back the layers on their lives without engaging in the sensationalization, glorification, and gore that has long been associated with the genre. Judge dives into the meta-questions of what it means to be a victim, what it means to be a perpetrator of harm, and what it means to share your story of trauma.

MLB MVP Odds, Best Bets: Aaron Judge, Shohei Ohtani Already Pulling Away
Though there are 60-plus games remaining in the regular season, oddsmakers already see Shohei Ohtani as the runaway favorite to win NL MVP for the fourth time in his career. Though there are 60-plus games remaining in the regular season, oddsmakers already see Shohei Ohtani as the runaway favorite to win NL MVP for the fourth time in his career. Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. With the All-Star break in the rear-view mirror, now is as good a time as any to check in on the MLB MVP races in the American League and the National League. Whether you follow baseball closely or not, you're unlikely to find any surprises atop the AL or NL MVP oddsboards. It's Aaron Judge and then everyone else in the American League. In the National League, the gap between Shohei Ohtani and his closest competitors is even wider. Though it will likely take an injury to Judge or Ohtani for anyone else to win either MLB regular-season MVP award this year, that won't stop us from diving into the latest MLB MVP odds. MLB American League MVP Odds DraftKings FanDuel Aaron Judge -650 -550 Cal Raleigh +370 +370 Tarik Skubal +8000 +10000 Bobby Witt Jr. +10000 +12000 Judge is well on his way to his third career MVP award thanks to his historically good hitting numbers across the board. He leads the league in every major batting statistic besides home runs. With 36, Judge, Eugenio Suarez and Ohtani are all just three behind Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh (39 home runs) as of July 23. Judge is well on his way to leading MLB in hits for the first time in his career, as he currently has a 128-117 lead over Philadelphia's Trea Turner. The other major Judge storyline to watch is his battle with Raleigh, which could be one of the best home run races in years. Judge has hit just one homer in his last 10 games, while Raleigh hit his first since the All-Star Break in Seattle's 1-0 win over Milwaukee on July 22. Judge, who has now played at least 100 games in five straight seasons, feels like a lock to win this award, which unfortunately makes it hard to get behind Raleigh or anyone else in this race, even if Raleigh stays on his historic home run pace. MLB National League MVP Odds FD Shohei Ohtani -1600 Pete Crow-Armstrong +950 Juan Soto +3000 Kyle Tucker +5500 James Wood +6000 Ohtani's grip on this race is so strong that a number of sportsbooks are not even offering this market. His current -1600 odds at FanDuel carry an implied probability of just over 94 percent. The fact that the 2021, 2023 and 2024 NL MVP's odds are substantially shorter than Judge's in the AL right now is a testament to Ohtani's status as one of the most dominant players in MLB in years. But instead of focusing only on how uninteresting this race is, let's consider for a second the possibility of Ohtani missing enough time to open the door for the rest of the NL. Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong is seen as the clear second-favorite of ahead of Mets OF Juan Soto, Crow-Armstrong's teammate Kyle Tucker and Nationals OF James Wood. Crow-Armstrong, 23, is in the midst of one of the biggest breakout seasons in MLB. His strong play is a big reason the Cubs are contenders in the NL after failing to reach the playoffs in 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024. So, if you insist on a small wager on someone besides Ohtani (which, again, you really shouldn't), Crow-Armstrong is the player to target.

'The worst thing you can do is be afraid to fail and let your dream die'
Colin Judge hopes his journey to becoming a two-time Paralympian and Paris 2024 flagbearer can inspire others who are struggling with their disability. The Dubliner has recalled to Fitter Happier how he had to face down his own fear of failure to become one of the best table tennis players in the world. 'It began when I was 10 or 11 years of age,' he said. 'I was struggling with my disability a lot, I'd just gone into secondary school. 'I went to an able-bodied rugby school, St Michael's College, and it was the first time I really realised I was different. 'My friends all started playing rugby at this stage and it obviously wasn't an option for me.' So, along with his brother, he went searching for a sport that he could play. 'I remember being in UCD at a sports camp, trying out a number of different sports with my younger, able-bodied brother,' said the 30-year-old. 'Wheelchair rugby was the first, which was a lot of fun, but I wasn't very good at it. My brother beat me at everything, more or less, for the majority of the week. 'Having one arm and no legs, I struggled with a lot of sports. 'But table tennis was the last one that we tried and I took to it pretty quickly. It was the only sport that I could beat my brother at, so it was from there that I decided to give it a go.' It wasn't easy, though, as Judge was anxious about reaching out for advice. Judge was speaking at the launch of a partnership between SPAR and EUROSPAR, and The Olympic Federation of Ireland and Paralympics Ireland. He said: 'I reached out to the coach in UCD, which was quite a big deal for me at the time, because I was a pretty nervous guy, and I didn't want to be a nuisance. 'I felt I wasn't going to be good enough. But I did it in the end and the rest is history, I suppose. I'm very happy that I sent that email. 'I wasn't very good at it at the beginning, but I suppose it was more of an outlet in my earlier days, somewhere to go in the evening, improve my social skills and do a bit of exercise. 'Then it obviously became much more than that over the years.' Judge's rise in the world of table tennis has been impressive. After the heartache of missing out on a spot at Rio in 2016 by one place, he qualified for Tokyo and then Paris, where he led out Team Ireland at the opening ceremony. Currently in the top-eight in the world, he has been performing consistently this year and has three more ranking tournaments to come, including the European Championships in Sweden in November. A third Paralympics in LA is on the agenda, with Judge saying: 'There's gas left in the tank. 100 percent. We are very committed to that at the moment.' Judge's sporting successes have been mirrored in other areas of his life. He has paused a career in actuary to focus on full-time training. His story is as powerful as anyone's when it comes to the positive role that sport can play. 'As I got involved in table tennis, my social skills improved a lot,' he said. 'But more than that, once I started to take the sport seriously, I started to set goals for myself, I started to commit to training four or five times a week. 'I didn't reach all the goals that I set out for myself, but I think the goals that I did reach helped boost that relationship that I had with me, and made me feel better about myself. It gave me confidence. 'Then, over the years as I got better, I realised that for all the things I couldn't do, there was a lot that I could do. 'The success that I achieved in table tennis translated directly into other areas of life.' 'I don't know where I would be without (sport).' That takes us to his message for anyone who might be, as was the case for Judge when he went to secondary school, struggling with their disability. He said: 'I think the absolute best advice I could give is similar to what I said about sending that email. 'Sometimes when you are a young kid with a disability it is extremely difficult to put yourself out there and take the initiative. But the people out there are a lot nicer than you think sometimes. 'I was so afraid that I'd be a nuisance and I wouldn't be good enough. I probably wasn't good enough, but so many people helped me along the way. 'I think the worst thing you can do is be afraid to fail and let your dream die. 'Sometimes you have got to put yourself in those uncomfortable situations and really just try everything, and not be afraid to fail, and not be afraid to take the initiative and put yourself in an uncomfortable situation, because that's where a lot of growth happens.' # SPAR and EUROSPAR have been announced as Official Retail Partners to The Olympic Federation of Ireland and Paralympics Ireland. As part of the agreement, they will offer opportunities for communities to show their support for their local athletes.
