Avery Pearson's Comedy Special Has a Linkin Park-Inspired Song About Indigestion
'Agitated' could be used to describe a hefty portion of Linkin Park's music, but 'agita'? Comedian and actor Avery Pearson and a starry cast of fellow funny people will reveal the connection in his comedy special Give It Up, Avery Pearson, which was recorded at the Dynasty Typewriter at The Hayworth Theatre in Los Angeles and premieres Thursday (June 26) on the livestream platform VEEPS. Executive produced by David Nickoll (NFL Network, Back That Year Up With Kevin Hart & Kenan Thompson) and co-produced by Dr. Phil impersonator Adam Ray and Thousand Percent, the special will feature Pearson — whose work has been seen on Broadway, Saturday Night Live and the ESPY Awards — and his band performing his original songs with a lineup that includes Ray, Arden Myrin (The Righteous Gemstones), JR De Guzman and Beth Stelling (both have Netflix comedy specials), Luke Null (SNL), Josh Adam Meyers (Bill Burr's Friends Who Kill), Scout Durwood (MTV's Mary + Jane), Jeremiah Watkins (Cartoon Network's DC Superhero Girls) and singer-songwriter Stevvi Alexander, who has performed on tour with Fleetwood Mac, Barbra Streisand and Diana Ross, and appeared in the documentary Twenty Feet From Stardom. There are also special guest appearances by Iliza Shlesinger and 'Roastmaster General' Jeffrey Ross, whose upcoming one-man show, Take a Banana for the Ride, which bows on Aug. 5 at Broadway's Nederlander Theatre, will include a song Pearson wrote for the production.

Pearson says the song is about heartburn that comes from 'eating late night in your 40s, and is played in the rap-and-rock style of Linkin Park's 'In the End.'' There's also 'I Am a Hyundai,' sung by Pearson, which, he rep explains, is about 'identifying as a Porsche but accepting you're a Hyundai.' ''Boys' Night Out,' by Pearson, Null and De Guzman, takes a feminist perspective on guys at the club. 'They're not looking to have sex,' Pearson says. 'They're just there to dance.' 'Fingerblasting Women,' by Pearson and Durwood, is an electronic banger about 'the one thing in common between a straight guy and a lesbian,' according to Pearson. 'Sex Chair,' performed by Ray and Pearson, is a hard-rock anthem based on a true story: the time Ray went to party and the host insisted on showing him his glow-in-the-dark sex chair. 'I was always told by my eighth grade English teacher, 'You'll never make it, your goofs are disruptive, and you'll never meet a weirdo with a sex chair,'' Ray says. 'She was wrong about one of those.' The special will be available on VEEPS in the United States and Canada for $12.99. All-access subscribers can watch for free.

Bering Air flight disappears near Nome, Alaska—Another mystery in the infamous Alaska Triangle?
Authorities continue their search for a Bering Air flight carrying nine passengers and one pilot after it vanished en route from Unalakleet to Nome, Alaska on Thursday at 4 p.m. The aircraft, a Cessna 208B Grand Caravan, failed to land as scheduled, triggering an urgent response from Alaska State Troopers, the National Transportation Safety Board, the Alaska National Guard, and the U.S. Coast Guard. According to the Nome Volunteer Fire Department, the aircraft may have been affected by adverse weather conditions and poor visibility. Search efforts are ongoing, but the missing plane has yet to be classified as a crash or an accident. BREAKING: Bering Air flight carrying 10 people disappears from radar near Nome, Alaska — BNO News (@BNONews) The incident has reignited speculation about the Alaska Triangle, an area stretching between Anchorage, Juneau, and Utqiaġvik (formerly Barrow), notorious for mysterious disappearances, UFO sightings, and cryptid encounters. Stay outta Nome Alaska if you want to live!! Alaska Triangle From 1960 to 2004, there were a reported 24 disappearances from the remote, isolated town of Nome, according to the FBI — Energy Researcher 𓃵 🏹 ♨ 𓂀 (@BakkenShale) The Mysterious Alaska Triangle—More Than Just a Myth? Since the 1970s, over 20,000 people have disappeared within the Alaska Triangle, a region known for its harsh terrain, extreme weather, and eerie phenomena. Some attribute the disappearances to natural causes, such as the rugged wilderness, deep crevasses, and unpredictable conditions. Others believe something more sinister is at play. Similar to the Bermuda Triangle, theories surrounding the Alaska Triangle range from magnetic anomalies interfering with navigation systems to extraterrestrial activity and interdimensional portals. Paranormal enthusiasts also point to Sasquatch-like creatures, with local legends describing Nantinaq, a supposed ape-like beast that forced the evacuation of Portlock, Alaska, in the 1950s.

Despite a massive 39-day search, no wreckage was ever found. Another case involved 44 military personnel aboard a Douglas C-54 Skymaster en route from Alaska to Montana. Despite a large-scale joint search effort between Canadian and U.S. authorities, the aircraft was never found. In 2011, mountain rescuer Gerald DeBerry disappeared in the White Mountains near Fairbanks while searching for a missing woman. His ATV was later found with the engine off, but he was never seen again. Bering Air Flight's Disappearance—Coincidence or Part of the Alaska Triangle's History? With the Bering Air flight's sudden disappearance near Nome, speculation has grown about whether the Alaska Triangle is claiming yet another victim. Some skeptics argue that Nome's harsh conditions and the region's remoteness make such disappearances more a result of the landscape than the supernatural.
