See Jimmy Kimmel Trick Kanye West Fans With Fake Yeezys

Kanye West has the biggest sneaker in the industry currently. This is pretty indisputable. Resellers mark the shoe with a $1,000-plus price tag on eBay—and people pay that much for them. The hype is very real with Yeezys.

So Jimmy Kimmel did what he usually does with these kind of cultural events: he spoofed the people. His crew bought a pair of cheap sneakers and glued on some fake fur and a compass, hawking them around to people on the streets as the new Yeezy shoe. What’s funny: The people loved it!

Some comments include one woman saying, “I feel I could jump higher in these,” and tricked one man into eating the “edible” laces. (He said they tasted good!)

Kimmel also recently spoofed HBO’s new show “Westworld,” a program where robots exist in a fake simulated Western and real people pay to live in that altered realtiy. The late-night TV host debuted another parody, called “Kanye Westworld,” that included bits of Kanye’s 2013 interview with Zane Lowe.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44RojEoTseU

Kimmel and Kanye have a history, particularly with this interview. It was, um, memorable for many reasons: Kanye sermonized about the fashion industry, called himself “the number one rock star on the planet,” bemoaned leather jogging pants, he cried at one point, and delivered a rather frank assessment of all his frustrations about life and the entertainment industry.

Those who dipped in and watched soundbites of the interview labeled it something akin to a “rant.” It flamed this notion that Kanye was just being a petulant child, le enfant terrible if you will. Kimmel, as he’s wont to do, took a step further and re-enacted the interview with actual kids playing Kanye and Zane.

It sparked a huge feud between Kanye and Kimmel, with Ye spewing Twitter hatred Kimmel’s way, even making memes about the comedian. It was an all-out war. The pair eventually set down for an amicable interview, where Kimmel apologized for any misunderstanding on his part and Kanye delivered some stream-of-consciousness thoughts about the media and their portrayal of celebrity. It was kind of intense.

Anyways, let’s hope this doesn’t spark another battle between Kanye and Kimmel. Celebrity beefs have been played out. We certainly don’t need another one.

Visualize the News: Melania Trump Interview, James Franco Likes to Headbutt People

Within our hyper-accelerated news culture, it can be tough to keep up with everything. But maintaining an informed populace remains vital to our culture. So for those stories that don’t quite need your undivided attention, we’re helping you digest stuff with GIFS, pics, and whatever qualifies as a quick fix. Remember: Knowing is half the battle. The other half: Laughing at funny memes.

Fresh Toast Action News Interviews Melania Trump

When an 11-year-old Access Hollywood video that caught Republican candidate Donald Trump making inappropriate comments about women surfaced, it was thought to mark the end of his campaign. Trump, however, has bulled full steam ahead, further inculcating himself within conspiracy theories the media and the political machine and “probably aliens” are out to get him.

But as Election Day draws both nearer and father away in Trump’s eyes—repeated spray tan treatments include side effects of “unable to read dates properly”—one member of his inner circle has remained mum on the matter. That is, until now.

The length we went to capture this exclusive interview weren’t easy. We snuck into Trump Tower by handing the doorman a Sacagawea coin and somehow managed to lift our finger high enough to press the elevator button of Trump’s penthouse.  We share with you the raw footage of our Pulitzer-level journalism now.

Ms. Melania Trump. This is Brendan Bures, with Fresh Toast Action News. I’ll cut right to the chase. What was your initial reaction when you saw that 11-year-old video of your husband’s derogatory comments toward women?


via GIPHY

And what about when he says he grab women by the—well, when he grabs them by their genitalia? What did you think of that?


via GIPHY

An eloquent response, Ms. Trump, though that lake water appear brackish. Here’s my Swimmer’s Ear drops for later. Now what might you say to other women now coming forward, alleging Donald Trump of sexual assault?


via GIPHY

Hmm. Not what I was expecting to hear.

Some have criticized of you playing the “innocent bystander” while your husband utters inchoate hatred and insanity. Furthermore, many find it impossible that you have never heard your husband spew any of this, as you call it, “boys talk.” To say this was an isolated incident that Billy Bush “egged on” and forced out of your husband, you would’ve had to ignore a lot of talk from a man who used to own the Miss USA beauty pageant, and who has also made many, many public comments on the physical appearances of women, some disparaging and some suggestive.

What do you say to those people?


via GIPHY

Well, okay then.

Last, where might people find you now until Election Day?

James Franco Likes to Headbutt Things

That’s what one paparazzi photographer is alleging anyways. TMZ reports that Franco is being sued by David Tonnessen, who says Franco headbutted him during a Lana Del Ray show at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery back in 2014.

After Tonnosen had been taking photos of Del Ray, the suit claims “unprovoked, [Franco] viciously charged and head-butted [Tonnessen] in the stomach.” In addition, the suit describes Franco as “smiling, rather demonically… [with a] blank expression of joy on his face.”

Reading the allegations, you might assume this is how things went down.

However, one of our insider sources (Editor’s note: We don’t have insider sources) describes the scene closer to this:

Naked Hillary Clinton Statue Incites Fight

Yes, that’s unfortunately correct: A naked Hillary Clinton statue remained upright for three hours Tuesday in lower Manhattan before someone knocked it down. A 27-year-old artist set up the piece outside Bowling Green station and makes a rather tasteless political statement.

An anarchist political group, Indecline, had placed a naked Donald Trump statue in Union Square back in August, though that one only lasted two hours. The Clinton statue lasted just two hours before a fight erupted between the artist and a woman.

Our camera were lucky enough to capture a live shot of the crowd’s reaction when first seeing the statue.

Val Kilmer Stars In Hypnotic New Video For Oneohtrix Point Never’s “Animals”

Who would’ve guessed that Val Kilmer’s best role in years would be in the glitchy, hypnotic new video for experimental electronic musician Oneohtrix Point Never’s “Animals.” But here we are.

The haunting clip shows a haggard Kilmer sitting and rocking on a bed, his eyes mostly closed in what appears to be contemplation as the video flickers in and out of rhythm with the song.

Between this and rumors of his appearance in Top Gun 2, it seems as though we may finally be getting the Val Kilmer comeback we all deserve. Watch the full video below.

The World’s Spiciest Chip Is Covered In ‘Carolina Reaper Dust,’ Sold One At A Time

The World’s Spiciest Chip Is Covered In ‘Carolina Reaper Dust,’ Sold One At A Time

For whatever reason, there are a bunch of people who are totally getting off on eating the Carolina Reaper, the hottest chip on the planet, according to Guinness (it measures in at over 1.5 million on the Scoville scale). And no matter how hard they try to keep it together or how much milk they drink, they ultimately regret their decision.

For example:

Two girls, one momentary lapse in judgment.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDF5QH2Ohl8

Two guys, one named Chili?

Unsuspecting bystanders who did not deserve this.

If the idea of chowing down on one of those babies is still appealing to you, here’s some good news: In an apparent attempt to cash in on this current strain on stupidity, a company called Paqui is selling a single tortilla chip coated in Carolina Reaper dust, as well as ghost pepper and chipotle seasoning.

Starting October 1, risk takers can buy the chip for $4.99. But…if you enter a contest that requires you to film yourself eating one of these things, you get your chip for free and a chance to win even more Paqui chips! And a GoPro.

Ironically, Paqui is Aztec for “happy.” The world is a cruel joke on all of us.

UPDATE: video has surfaced of people taste-testing the chip. Enjoy!

Beer With Your Coffee: Starbucks Is Now Serving A Spiked Drink

Beer With Your Coffee: Starbucks Is Now Serving A Spiked Drink

Either Starbucks has psychic powers, or they are super on-trend these days.

Just as a new study found that “coffee” and “beer” were the two most tweeted words of the past year, the company went and announced the launch of their first cocktail, which combines Starbucks espresso and beer. It’s called the Espresso Cloud IPA. And it’s basically a beer with a coffee chaser all in one. Or at least it can be.

According to the company’s blog, 1912 Pike, the drink is multi-faceted. First, a combination of ice, espresso, orange and vanilla is shaken together to create a frothy shot of flavored espresso. The foam is placed atop a glass of IPA and the espresso is placed in a shot glass, served alongside the beer. For the truly adventurous, the shot is then poured into the IPA, creating a “layered waterfall” effect (not to be confused with a “velvety cascade of deliciousness.”) So, you can either have yourself a coffee-flavored beer or you can have a beer with an espresso back. It’s like a chose your own adventure!

But forget words, the beverage is best visualized by actually watching a demo:

The drink is currently being served at locations that offer the Evening Menu (aka Starbucks wine bars).

If you want to throw caution to the wind and get a super buzz on (some might call it lightheadedness), this is the drink for you. If you like your Starbucks without the alcohol, but still frothy, you might want to try your hand at Starbucks nitro cold brew.

Hero on LSD Breaks Into Neighbor’s House to Save Dog From Imaginary Fire

A heroic guy who loves to party was arrested last week after he allegedly took acid and broke into a neighbor’s house to rescue a dog from a fire that didn’t exist.

New York State troopers told WNYT that Michael Orchard took LSD and drank cough syrup sometime Thursday afternoon. Not long later, police say, he began to hallucinate that his neighbor’s home was on fire. He reportedly banged on the doors of other neighbors to ask for help.

When no one responded, he did what one does in such a situation and drove his black BMW through his neighbor’s fence and into his yard, smashed the back door’s window, sprinted inside, and emerged moments later triumphantly holding a big white dog.

“He believed that the residence was on fire and he was rescuing the dog,” Trooper Mark Cepiel, Troop G spokesperson, told WNYT.

The 43-year-old was arrested and charged with  third-degree criminal mischief and second-degree burglary, and jailed on $15,000 bail. When a reporter asked why he wasn’t charged with DUI or drug possession, Ceipel gave a matter-of-fact answer.

“He drove over yards and through the fence. At no point was he on the roadway and no illegal substances were found in his possession,” he said. Good to know.

Despite the dangers of imaginary house fires and being carried by a man ripped on acid, the dog was unharmed.

Does Weed Go Well With The Holidays?

Does Weed Go Well With The Holidays?

Dear Ms. Pot.

I recently went home from college for the Jewish holidays and my parents made me go to temple.  I felt 14 again. I had no choice but to make the time at temple more… interesting and weed-y. Am I going to hell?

Love,

Josh the Jew

———————————————-

Dear Josh the Jew,

Jewish people and pot actually do pair well together, I have to say. Better than Episcopalians and pot, in my experience. It’s not entirely clear why this is, but it’s true. Talk to any former East Coast summer camp counselor or any undergrad at Brandeis (47 percent Jewish, obvi) or Emory (17 percent jewish, which –for you gentiles out there–is considered high). They’ll tell you getting stoned (and still wearing tie-die) is de rigueur. As much a part of the culture as Chinese food on Sundays.

Still, there is a time and place. Before teaching 10-year-olds tennis for the ninth time on a 90-degree day? Yes. Playing Neil Young on the guitar with a bunch of friends in the dorm room? Duh. While baking challah in your new apartment with your boyfriend? Of course.

But before a somber, three-hour service with your family and all of those well-dressed adults from synagogue you grew up dodging kisses from?  Nah…  It’s only going to make the dreadfully long service even longer.

Not to mention: Yom Kippur is meant to be Day of Atonement, where you’re supposed to apologize for your sins— not come in with bongs a-blazing. Also. Fasting all day after smoking pot? That’s basically impossible! Have you even seen these munchies from around the world!?

Here’s a better idea: Next year, save smoking until day’s end, and sneak a little with your sister before piling into the family station wagon bound for break-the-fast at your mom’s friend Deborah’s. The bagels and kugel and brisket will taste that much better. Bon appetite!

Smokily yours,

Ms. Pot

Watch Stephen Colbert Help Obama With His Upcoming Unemployment

Unemployment is a terrifying proposition. The repetition of numbing failure is the worst part. Any wave of useless optimism you were riding will crash into a crippling anxiety by day’s end. Getting a job in today’s market isn’t easy.

So thank goodness Late Show host Stephen Colbert is helping one man who soon face that very dilemma: President Barack Obama. Colbert transforms into his middle-manager persona, Randy, to run through a practice interview with Obama.

He includes tongue-in-cheek questions like “Where were you born?” and asking why Obama’s leaving his current position as president. Obama informs him the 22nd amendment mandates his stepping down, Colbert replies, “When you say staying in your job would be unconstitutional, what employers hear is that you stole office supplies.”

Really it’s a problem we all face when re-entering the workforce, right? Check the video below.

Cannabis-Infused Wine Is Now Available In California

Cannabis-Infused Wine Is Now Available In California

Cannabis-infused wine is nothing new, but it’s certainly becoming more trendy, especially now.

Mary Jane Wines is now selling small batches of the stuff exclusively to those who carry medical marijuana cards in the country’s ultimate wine region, California. The company is run by two marijuana pioneers: Verdad Wines owner Louisa Sawyer Lindquist and marijuana dispensary owner Lisa Molyneux.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BKVtpLAA0lj/

While recreational use of marijuana is legal in states like Washington and Colorado, it’s illegal to mix alcohol with cannabis.

A half-bottle of Mary Jane wine, made with sterilized hemp seeds and Cannabidiol extracrun, will set you back as much as $400. Current varietals include Malbec and Chardonnay.

Even cancer survivor Melissa Etheridge has her own wine tincture (the legal term for weed-infused wine, also known as “green wine”) using Molyneux strains. Earlier this year, she told the LA Times that canna-wine was the perfect companion for her while she was going through chemo because she couldn’t smoke or vape.

On November 8, Californians will decide the fate of Prop 64, which would make recreational marijuana legal. And as of right now, it’s leaning in the direction of passing.

Try Not To Get Turned On By This Woodsy Carbonara

Try Not To Get Turned On By This Woodsy Carbonara

If you’re sick of celebrity chefs talking over the sound of knives running through pork fat and rambling about their childhood memories with nana in front of a fake television set kitchen, Alex Almazan is your answered prayer.

Turn your sound up and enjoy 13 minutes of peace, as Almazan makes carbonara in the woods:

Every motion is soft and measured, never sloppy, always thoughtful. It’s the opposite of how most people cook outdoors: Armed with a can opener and a camp stove.

He swirls his fingers through the flour, sprinkles in salt, and gently adds eggs before breaking the yolks with a level of attentiveness unmatched if he’d laid them himself. Seriously, it’s borderline NSFW.

Next comes the smoked pork meat, which he notes is “homemade,” so you know he whispered sweet soothing words to that pig before sacrificing it to the gods of the forest kitchen. Moving on to two perfect garlic cloves, he taps them lightly with a rock — wow, this is much nicer than the smash-it-to-death with the bottom of a heavy coffee mug method.

The bunch of parsley is thwapped down on the rock slab, to make it extra clear that he’s going for that ASMR vibe. If you’re getting a little turned on by this video, rest assured that it’s intentional. Subtle and classy, but intentional. Sizzling the pork fat in a pan over the fire, rolling out the pasta dough with floury hands, shredding the pecorino cheese with a sh-sh-sh sound — yeah, this guy’s got a nice mic. Don’t even talk about the stirring of the eggs and cheese together.

He doesn’t speak a word throughout the entire video, but he probably sounds like a mix between Bob Ross and Ron Swanson. If you’re craving more, the Disney prince of cooking videos also made pork sandwiches with the help of an owl, and lamb roast cooked for four hours in a clay pot.

Here’s the ingredients list for carbonara, from the YouTube description:

Forest Carbonara

  • 4 free-range eggs
  • 1 cup grano duro flour
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 150g pecorino cheese
  • 200g smoked pork meat (homemade)
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • handful of fresh parsley
  • 1/2 tsp. black pepper
  • olive oil

The preparation directions, you’ll have to gather from watching the full video above.
