Saw two of the best concert experiences of my life a few days ago, both of which were Pete and Bas - Portland and Seattle. In Seattle, they had ladies up to dance during "T-Pain"... and Pete came up to me and said, "you sing." Hell yeah! You go dance, Pete. I got this. youtu.be/QzggOjJwaWY?...

They say you should never meet your heroes, you'll just be disappointed. I say, 'then you need better heroes'. Pete and Bas are two of the kindest, funniest, classiest human beings I've ever met. You'd never guess they are hard-core rappers if you didn't already know. #fuckcancer #igotthis

Getting to see my fave musicians who also happen to be personal heroes of mine. Seeing them in the UK in 2 weeks, then in Portland and Seattle in October. Absolutely STOKED.

Sometimes, the help you need comes from the strangest places... youtu.be/QH6oSgpuzgQ?...

Sometimes, hope comes in the most unlikely of places... Sometimes, you just gotta write a song about it. #fuckcancer #PeteAndBas youtu.be/QH6oSgpuzgQ?...

@rexparker.bsky.social a single 'tum' is also just fine. I mean, you wouldn't want to tell an OG gangster otherwise, would you?

OMG.... Control-alt (ought)-delete. What you resort to when the thing you're dealing with isn't doing what you want. Their wordplay is top-shelf.

Drinks all round Just chuck 'em on the bar tab Tip to waiter, 'Have a nice a day' Ice in the pail of the champagne Cava Text from a side piece "on my way- Been a little while ain't seen you lately, How's your father?" Cut to the chase [dance moves ensue]

If anyone had ever told me that I'd spend nearly $3K to fly to the UK for a concert to watch a couple white guys in their 70s do hardcore gangster (with the 'r') rap, I'd have said you were nuts. I hate rap music, but these guys are so good, it doesn't matter. They're better than your fave rappers.

Come on, then, shake a leg This one'll make you bang your head Back then I could've lost meself, but then I picked me feet up and I danced again. -Pete (of Pete and Bas), cancer survivor. Rap god.

@rexparker.bsky.social I only knew MUKBANG because of a couple Cockney pensioners doing blistering rap. youtu.be/SLIZpWrK8xo?...

One of the better pics I took on vacay. #CapeTown

I’m on a cruise right now, with folks from USA, Canada, Australia, UK, and other places. It’s surreal. The Canadians are showing off our nationality with Canadian flags on the cabin doors, tshirts, lapel pins, etc. The Americans seem ashamed to admit it.

Menu for tonight’s flight Vancouver to Bangkok

Typical rap video: guns, $$, gang, women, booze, smoking, someone flips off the camera. This might be the best parody video of all time, and most of that is because the song itself is better than 90% of the rap out there right now. LOVE THIS. youtu.be/gN-0QquCzIk?...

@rexparker.bsky.social Are you familiar with Pete and Bas? It's UK hiphop... and it's some of the hardest bars you'll ever hear. It's also screamingly funny. And YES, it's real. Waiting for them to show up in a NYTXW youtu.be/gN-0QquCzIk?...

Most guests on this show who don't like something will be, "oh, that's lovely, but it's not really for me." Pete and Bas are NOT those guests. This is hysterical. youtu.be/xR2UcCJo-M0?...

Typical reaction to this video: 1. WTF????? 2. Disbelief 3. OMG, NO! 4. Uncontrollable dancing 5. Singing along with the chorus 6. Replay Fair warning: 100% NSFW youtu.be/zljDDcTnTG0?...

Please, PLEASE tell me I’ll be having this much fun in my 70s youtu.be/HVOKKRCaG9M?...

Catchy! But it’s gotta be a drag when you think you’re all that, but then the two old guys at the end rap better than you and everyone else in the video youtu.be/9VmOLMV0U2w?...

Because you know you want to make a handbell out of Lego. It's almost exactly the size of an F#4, but it plays in the key of 'clack' #handbells #Lego www.bowriverbells.com/lego-handbell

@rexparker.bsky.social #HolidayPetPics Parker staking her claim to anything that might go on the tree.

How is “Skeleton Crew “ so highly rated? I watched both available episodes, waiting for it to improve and now I want those 2 hours back. Utter garbage.

You know you need some holiday cheer right about now. Luckily, Elbow River Bells is ringing up some joy. Tickets here: christmasbells.brownpapertickets.com

I'm proud to call Annie Hergott my friend. She's an amazing woman and a force for good in Calgary.

@pfitzinger.bsky.social - Hi, Scott! Will we see you at Classic Bronze next summer? classicbronze.ca

'd like to imagine that a movie of my life would be scored by John Williams or Hans Zimmer, but I know it would have to be Danny Elfman

Quite so.

Fun way to spend the afternoon: put "MAGA" or "Trump" or other such term in the search bar. Discover accounts that exist just to troll or spread hate or "own the libs". Notice how few followers they have, smile, then block them.

Is it possible that Agent Orange doesn't really care whether Gaetz is appointed or not - but selected him just to see HOW loyal his GOP minions are by whether or not they vote yes? Or - maybe Gaetz is there so the other idiots don't look all that bad by comparison and more of them get in...

Danielle Smith once said that her political hero is Ron DeSantis. Now she wants to go to DC to be at Trump's inauguration. Alberta voters, this should be all you need to know about her, just in case you were wondering. VOTE HER OUT.

I'm up for discussion with folks that have different viewpoints. But if I look up your profile and there's no actual viewpoints, but just hate speech and trolling then it's BLOCK TIME. You aren't here to discuss, just to annoy. I got no time for that BS.

When you make a once-in-a-lifetime trip to an amusement park halfway around the world from where you live, you do NOT let a torrential downpour stop you from riding all the coasters!

Ever seen a "moonbow"? It's a rainbow, but made in the middle of the night, when the sky is clear and the full moon is bright enough and there's enough mist in the air. Extremely rare to catch one. This one happened at Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, Sept 13, 2019

One of my fave pics I've ever taken - near Pretoria, South Africa. Two words: ZOOM LENS
