Ahren Belisle at Levity Live Huntsville (Sept 11, 2025)

Ahren Belisle doesn’t “take the mic” so much as he reprograms the room. The Canadian comic—best known from America’s Got Talent —performed a one-night headlining set at Huntsville’s Levity Live on Thursday, September 11, 2025, 7:00 p.m. and turned a packed weeknight crowd into co-conspirators in his very particular brand of mischief. Belisle’s hook is famous by now: he delivers his stand-up through a mobile text-to-speech voice, a choice that sharpens his timing into razor-clean beats. Every line lands with computer-perfect cadence, and the intentional delay between his silent smile and the synthesized punchline creates a delicious tension—then a bigger laugh. When he slow-rolls a tag, you can feel the whole room leaning in, waiting for the phone to “say the quiet part out loud.” The set’s rhythm is deceptively playful. Belisle toggles between sly autobiographical bits and twisty, almost puzzle-box premises, each one engineered for that extra beat of surprise. He’s particularly l...

Step Back in Time at Ole Towne Café in Ardmore

If you’ve ever wished you could step into your grandma’s kitchen and smell fresh biscuits baking while bacon sizzles in the skillet, Ole Towne Café in Ardmore, Alabama, is the next best thing. Tucked along Main Street, this little diner doesn’t just serve food—it serves nostalgia. Walking in, you’re greeted with that small-town charm you just can’t fake. The walls are lined with country décor, the coffee flows like a friendly neighbor’s gossip, and everyone seems to know everyone else. Even if you’re new in town, you’ll feel like family after your first cup of coffee. The menu is straight out of a Southern comfort cookbook. The catfish plates are fried to crispy perfection, the hamburger steaks come smothered in gravy that tastes like Sunday supper, and the breakfast plates are legendary—big fluffy pancakes, biscuits as big as your hand, and hash browns that come golden and crispy. And let’s not forget dessert. If you’ve got a sweet tooth, save room for the pies. Ole Towne Café d...

Everlina’s Southern Cooking: Where Hazel Green Finds Its Flavor

If you’ve ever driven through Hazel Green and missed Everlina’s Southern Cooking, well, bless your heart—you’ve been missing out on some of the best soul food this side of Alabama. This cozy little spot isn’t trying to be fancy. It’s not serving up kale salads or truffle anything. Nope. Everlina’s is all about fried catfish so golden it could win a beauty pageant, collard greens simmered until they practically sing gospel, and sweet tea that could put Coca-Cola out of business. Walking in feels like stepping into a family reunion you didn’t know you were invited to. The owner often greets guests at the door, and within seconds you feel less like a customer and more like a cousin who just came home from out of town. The vibe is warm, welcoming, and just the right amount of “come sit down and eat, sugar.” And oh, the food. Let’s start with that catfish—crispy on the outside, flaky on the inside, and seasoned with just enough love to make you want to write home about it. The beef tips com...

Racing Without Limits: Hands-On with the New Turtle Beach Racer Wireless Wheel

Gamers have been dreaming about a racing wheel that feels immersive, fits easily in your living room, and doesn’t come with a spaghetti mess of wires. Turtle Beach has answered that call with the brand-new Racer Wireless Wheel. The controller offers a sleek, versatile, and surprisingly affordable option for Xbox and PC players who want to put the pedal to the metal… without actually needing pedals. Launching worldwide on September 9, 2025, the Racer Wireless Wheel is already making waves among casual gamers and sim racing enthusiasts alike. At just $179.99 (£139.99/€149.99), it promises to deliver a unique balance of realism, comfort, and convenience. But does it live up to the hype? Let’s take it for a spin. Freedom to Race, Anywhere One of the biggest hurdles of racing wheels in the past has been the setup. Wires running across the floor, bulky pedal sets, and complicated mounting systems make them intimidating — especially if you’re not planning to turn your bedroom into a Formula 1...

Woojer Vest 3 Review: Not Worth the Hype or the Price

  I went into the Woojer Vest 3 expecting an immersive experience that would elevate my gaming, movies, and music. Unfortunately, what I got was an overpriced gimmick that left me more frustrated than impressed. First off, the build quality feels cheap compared to the premium price tag. The straps are awkward and uncomfortable, making long sessions unbearable. Even after adjusting, the fit is bulky and restrictive—definitely not something you forget you’re wearing. Then there’s the actual “immersion” experience. The vibrations are inconsistent, often feeling more like random buzzing than anything tied to what’s happening on screen. Instead of enhancing gameplay or music, it just distracts. The haptic feedback doesn’t sync smoothly, so you’re often pulled out of the experience rather than drawn deeper into it. Connectivity is another headache. The vest has frequent issues with Bluetooth lag and compatibility. At times, I had to completely reset the device just to get it to reconnect...

Birchbox Review – Not Worth the Money

BIRCHBOX I signed up for Birchbox hoping for a fun way to discover new beauty products each month, but the experience turned out to be underwhelming and honestly a waste of money. The idea of getting curated samples sounds exciting, but in reality, the box is filled with products that are either too small to really test, or so generic they feel like things you could pick up for free at a department store counter. The “personalization” they advertise feels almost non-existent. I filled out their beauty profile in detail, but the items I got never seemed matched to my preferences. For example, I said I don’t use hair sprays or certain skincare items, and yet I kept receiving them. It started to feel like they just sent whatever extra samples they had lying around, without much thought. Another major downside is the value. For the price of a monthly subscription, you’d expect to at least get your money’s worth in sample sizes or a decent full-size product every so often. Instead, most o...

Rick and Morty Season 8: The Multiverse of Midlife Crises

  Grab your portal guns, strap in, and maybe bring a tissue or two—because Rick and Morty Season 8 has crash-landed, and it’s a ride equal parts hilarious, chaotic, and surprisingly emotional. A Season of Safe Chaos Let’s get this out of the way: critics are split. Some call Season 8 a “return to form,” while others argue it’s the “Michael Bay version of Rick and Morty”—loud, explosive, and occasionally hollow. Rotten Tomatoes threw it a shiny 100% score (based on a small pool of reviews), but IGN wasn’t buying the hype, calling the first half of the season underwhelming. So where does that leave us? Somewhere between genius and intergalactic filler. Think of it as a multiverse version of the show where Rick is slightly less drunk, Morty is slightly less traumatized, and the writers are slightly less interested in shocking the FCC. Pop Culture Punchlines Even if Season 8 doesn’t push boundaries like the “Evil Morty” or “Pickle Rick” days, it still flexes its pop-culture mus...

Fable Reboot Delayed to 2026 – But Albion Promises to Be Worth the Wait

Grab your potions and polish up those rusty swords — because the long-awaited return to Albion is officially running late. Microsoft has confirmed that the new Fable reboot, originally teased for 2025, is now delayed until 2026 . Yes, heroes, that means another year of twiddling your thumbs… or maxing out your Forza Horizon garage until Playground Games delivers. 🚪 Why the Delay? Craig Duncan of Xbox Game Studios broke the news during an official update, assuring fans this isn’t just a case of hitting snooze on the release calendar. Instead, the extra time will help make Fable everything it needs to be: polished, magical, and filled with that cheeky British wit the series is famous for. In his words, the wait will be “worth it.” In gamer terms: don’t expect a chicken-kicking simulator with bugs — expect Albion to return shinier, sassier, and more alive than ever. 🧙 What We Know So Far (Spoiler: Not Much) The Setting: We’re going back to Albion, baby. The Engine: ForzaT...
