Last year Drake embarked around the world on the "Boy Meets World" Tour which turned out to be pretty uneventful besides one fateful night when Travis Scott joined Drake on stage.
Drake is well-known for pulling out all the stops on stage and bringing out a wide array of his most famous rapper friends. On a February 2017 stop in London, Drake brought out Astroworld rapper Travis Scott to perform his hit song "Goosebumps". But just as his back track begins, Travis takes a tumble... in autotune.
This level of comedy cannot be planned.
A giant hole in the stage where a globe would emerge later in the show just swallowed Scott whole as he was attempting to get the crowd hyped before the beat dropped in "Goosebumps". The best part: Travis Scott falls in autotune.
Since he's already mic'd up, you can hear Travis say "Eyeeeeeahhh" as he falls in his signature autotune, and it's hilarious.
Despite the unexpected fall into the trap door, Drake and Travis don't miss a beat. Drake continues to adlib while Travis Scott tries to climb out of this blackhole in the middle of the stage. Here's the best footage I've been able to uncover:
As soon as Travis re-emerges he's jumping all over the stage and hyping up the crowd in typical Travis Scott fashion. It's honestly truly an incredible testament to his showmanship. In fact, Travis doesn't even believe that he fell. When recounting the incident he says “I didn’t fall, dude, I flew. I was floating. I don’t fall. Shit, nothing happened. Floating is amazing. It’s like getting in a plane. I just flew, man. I’m a magician, like David Blaine. I could never fall.”
Scott came out of the situation uninjured, however there was a casualty in all of this: Drake's giant globe stage prop. However, not all is lost because Drake ended up saying “I’m doing this shit for free tonight. I don’t give a fuck,” and giving all 20,000 atTendees a refund. I'm sure they were all screaming EEEEYYYYEEEEAHHHHH.

Chreece is unique in its setup as it breaks the tradition of giant stages in a large field and instead takes over an entire downtown Indianapolis neighborhood. This year Chreece will span 8 different venues in Fountain Square. Here's what you need to know about where you can catch shows this Saturday:
HIFI
HI-FI is where you'll be able to catch a few of the more rowdy headliners like Valee, Drayco McCoy, and Flaco. The venue hosts a bar indoors as well meaning you can definitely get your drink on before hopping in the mosh pit. Be mindful that HI-FI is a 21+ venue and is rather small so make sure you arrive a little early for the artists you want to be barricade for.
WHITE RABBIT
Although White Rabbit is well known throughout the city for their dance nights and burlesque shows, this Saturday night it will be taken over by Black Moon, Mud Kids, and several other local artists. Walking to this venue is the best time to stop and grab a bite to eat since it's located in the heart of Fountain Square. This is another 21+ venue so make sure you grab your ID.
PIONEER INDY
Pioneer is the one of the most aesthetically pleasing venue on Chreece's route this year. The exposed brick, European inspired bar will contrast well with the flows and beats that artists will be bringing to Pioneer all afternoon. Pioneer is another 21+ venue.
THUNDERBIRD
Typically a place to grab a great lunch and cocktail, it's going to be interesting to see this restaurant transformed into a stage for acts like Double A and Mathaius Young this Saturday. (But I would still 100% recommend that you stop by another day and try something off of their delicious menu) Thunderbird is also a 21+ venue.
HOOSIER DOME
When I was in high school I always described Hoosier Dome as a venue that was the size of my living room. Although it is a actually a bit bigger than my living room, the small size of the venue allows for every show to be an intimate experience. Make sure you swing by their graffiti covered bathrooms for a quick Indy selfie while you're there.
KUMA'S GARAGE
Kuma's Garage is exactly what it sounds like: a garage across the street from Kuma's Corner. This is a very small venue, but it gives that punk DIY feel that is the perfect setting for rap shows. The perks of this venue include a bathroom and the fact that you can carry food and drinks from Kuma's over to Kuma's Garage.
THE FOUNTAIN PLAZA
The Fountain Plaza, located right next door to Pioneer Indy, is the only outdoor venue at Chreece this year. This is a great place to enjoy some music while soaking up those last few rays of sun this summer. Since it is a central, and iconic, spot in Indy, I would recommend this as the place to meet up with your friends.
SQUARECAT VINYL
Squarecat is where I caught a few of my favorite Chreece sets last year. The record store lends itself so well to an intimate hip-hop show setting. The fact that you can flip through, and purchase, vinyls between sets is just an added bonus.

Clear your calendars: It's Chreece weekend.
If you're a fan of hip-hop, poetry, local music, dancing, and all around good times, the only place for you to be this Saturday is Indianapolis for the annual hip-hop festival known as Chreece. Chreece is a day of celebrating the creativity that thrives in Indianapolis, a city with a growing music scene that is often overlooked.
The festival is a one day event, taking place on August 25 this year, that spans 6 venues in the Fountain Square neighborhood of Indianapolis. (One thing to be aware of as you are planning out your Chreece day is that some venues are 21+.) This year Chreece will have over 60 local musicians, DJs, and poets performing all day long.
As an Indianapolis native Chreece is an ethereal experience. It takes place in the Fountain Square neighborhood which is incredible because it's already the home to many great music venues, as well as restaurants, bars, and shopping that you can enjoy if you're able to find some time between sets. I think its one of the times when my entire city looks alive. For an entire day there's masses of people flooding the streets, racing from venue to venue, enjoying local food, and spending their day vibing to some of the best talent Indianapolis has to offer. Another thing I really appreciate about Chreece is the fact that you're guaranteed to find someone new who you're going to love. The organizers of Chreece have taken all of the hard work out of trying to find good local music by putting the best musicians that Indy has to offer in one place making it easy to catch the sets of some of your old local faves and some names you've never heard of.
There's nowhere else to be this weekend besides Chreece. We'll be bringing you the most up-to-date coverage all day via our social media accounts!

In 2009 a photograph of mogul Diddy looking confused at a $1 amongst his stack of $100s went viral and left the world questioning if P. Diddy knew what a $1 is.
The photo was taken by James Devaney at a New York Knicks basketball game where Diddy was sitting court side and, almost obviously, it went viral nearly immediately. The popularity of this image is partially due to the fact that it was such an outrageous photo that was almost too easy to meme. The puzzled look on Diddy's face led people all across the internet to believe that Diddy was somehow so rich that he hadn't had contact with the smallest denominations of currency in so long that he genuinely did not remember that they existed. Twitter suddenly became green with envy and began creating a slew of hilarious memes that are still passed around in 2018.

The early 2000s was an interesting time in pop culture. Young starlets were running wild in Hollywood as obsessed paparazzi was stalking them through clubs, just hoping to be lucky enough to be the person to snap a photo of them beating a car with an umbrella or crying in the back of a police car.
There was another special thing about this time: the soundtrack. While these childhood stars gone wrong were making some pretty corny club bops, the hottest musicians in hip-hop were turning out hit after hit. These iconic anthems are still played in frat house basements today.
The two seemingly unrelated pieces of history from the early 2000s were similar when it came to the infamous tabloid "25 Things You Don't Know About...." lists and 50 Cent's track "21 Questions". Both featured a list of interesting and intriguing facts and questions to help you get to know someone.
I was inspired when reading a newer "25 Things You Don't Know About..." featuring Future. I thought about how interesting it would be to have these small factoids about local rappers and other artists to get an intimate look at their personalities.
That's where the idea of "21 Questions" was born. Each week a new up-and-coming artist will answer 21 questions that I will then curate into a listicle to profile the artist and help you get to know them in a unique way.

channel ORANGE rocked the world as one of the most artistic, lyrically advanced, and exciting albums of the first half of the 21st century when it was released in 2012. Frank Ocean went from being every sad, tumblr boy's favorite member of Odd Future to being hailed as one of the greatest artists of our generation. Frank Ocean became a cultural phenomenon with everyone quoting his incredible lyrics in Instagram captions, praising his courage for being genuinely himself, and even inspiring the most iconic Vine of our time. However, the album is incredible for reasons beyond its musical content and effect on Frank Ocean's life.
For the first time in hip-hop history, a dog produced a Grammy award winning album.
In a tweet posted on Ocean's now defunct Twitter on July 11, 2012 he said "everest is my dog. and the executive producer of channel orange". The Bernese Mountain Dog, who Ocean adopted in 2011, is pictured several times in what appear to be studio settings alongside Ocean which gives his claim that Everest was the executive producer of the album even more legitimacy.
Imagining Everest posted up in the studio until the wee hours of the morning to make sure the album turned out flawlessly is maybe one of my favorite mental images. Although Everest passed away in 2017, his legacy will live on forever. Thank you for sniffing out talent and executive producing one of the most influential albums of the century and congrats on being probably one of the only Grammy award winning dogs that will ever exist.

It's hard to believe that it has been six years since the summer that we looked at everything through orange colored shades.
Six years since the front page of every publication had those bold white letters plastered across them.
Six years since the screencap that changed the world and inspired a change not only in the world of music, but also across a generation of youth.
Six years since the release of channel ORANGE.
I'll go on the record saying that this album will remain one of the most important albums of my generation, of our time. There's something that's not only so musically diverse about Frank Ocean, but also authentic. Whether it's the fact that this album features an iconic Andre 3000 verse, a flawless transition, or is the reason an iconic Vine exists: channel ORANGE is truly timeless.
Here are the six best times to get deep in your feels with Frank Ocean and reminisce on the summer of 2012:
When you're driving alone at night with your sunroof open on a main road in your city that has a few stoplights, but isn't busy at this time of the night. You have to have something on your mind, and maybe something to smoke, if you want the optimal experience in this situation.
Riding in an car provided by a ride sharing app after a breakup when it's raining. The second that "Bad Religion" comes on you will feel like you're in an indie movie. You also definitely will not be the first person to cry in the backseat of this driver's car so it's the perfect time to let it all go.
When you're getting your freak on. "Pink Matter": you're welcome.
Swimming in a pool with your friends in the middle of the summer when the party is starting to wind down. "Super Rich Kids" probably doesn't describe any of you, but it's fun to pretend. The mellow song will also encourage that everyone begin to wind down, so it's the perfect thing to turn on when you're ready for everyone to get the fuck out, but you're worried that they'll think you're rude if you ask them to leave.
The time when you move your coffee table out of your living room and want to pretend that you're a contemporary dance choreographer on "So You Think You Can Dance". Turn up "Forrest Gump" and let loose for a minute.
Any time you need to do something creative. This album is so well written and so complex that it is seriously impossible to listen to it and not feel inspired. It's also great if you're on of those people who just likes to have something playing in the background while you work because this album doesn't have to be listened to closely to be felt.

Of course we've all cruised with the windows down at some point each summer to Third Eye Blind's "Semi-Charmed Life" or "Never Let You Go", but they may not be the band that tops everyone's concert bucket list.
After this Sunday's performance at Governor's Ball in NYC... You need to put them there.
The band came out dressed in all black with a simple background that said "Third Eye Blind" in white script that remaind the same for their entire set. The appeared to have an elaborate light set up behind them, but since their set was at 4:45 pm, it was impossible to see any light design. The stage setup was clean, minimal, and it didn't add to the performance because it didn't have to.
A large cheer erupted from the growing crowd as the five guys took their places on the stage. They immediately went into a jaw-dropping performance of "Graduate" that had everyone losing their minds.
The crowd varied in age from teens in basketball jerseys to middle aged adults, but there was not a single person in the crowd who wasn't dancing like they didn't have a care in the world and singing along.
After the second song, Stephan Jenkins took a quick break to let everyone know that he actually had bronchitis and was really nervous about performing. Since the band had been looking forward to the show they decided not to cancel, and I have never been more grateful.
They continued to play hit after hit after hit with energy that you wouldn't expect from a band who has been performing for over 20 years. Although I openly stan 3EB, my friends who were casual listeners also knew a majority of the songs. There were only two that we didn't all know, one of which was new music, which made for a pretty satisfying setlist.
There was such a positive energy in the crowd and it felt like a completely judgment free zone for those who wanted to thrash, scream lyrics, and cry (yeah, I did all three). As festivals become a more mainstream summer activity for those who are looking for an excuse to drink overpriced booze and attempt to improve their Instagram aesthetics, crowds like this are increasingly hard to find. I walked out of the crowd with a giant smile on my face saying "Damn, they rocked!" and high-fiving all of my friends, which is something I haven't done at a festival since Kendrick at Bonnaroo in 2015.
Stephan Jenkins kept referring to this concept he called "real face" the entire time: the idea of a face that is positive, joyful, and only saying "hell yeah"! Third Eye Blind made me show my "real face" for the first time in a long time.
So next time Third Eye Blind comes to your city make sure you don't write them off as some dudes that peaked in the 90s. I promise they will give you an experience that will make you very happy to be alive and in the moment with positive, carefree people surrounding you.

Formed in Bloomington in 2013, Nice Try is perhaps one of the most underrated pop bands in the area, and one of the few hailing from this particular DIY scene.
Nice Try is a duo that strives to create music that you can not only dance to, but also relate to. You can feel the emotion (whether that's anxiousness or excitement) behind singer Madeline Robinson's every word. It's music that can make you feel real, honest good feelings, but can also make the perfect soundtrack for cleaning in the morning and perhaps that's what is so charming about it.
Nice Try will be performing tomorrow at Culture Shock at 1:50 PM. Here's a few of their tracks so you can dance around your room in your undies Friday night and know a few words to bob your head along to on Saturday afternoon:

Less than a month off of his tour promoting (Scum Fuck) Flower Boy, Tyler, the Creator took to Twitter this afternoon to release a loose track with a visual titled "OKRA". Tyler teased the track in January by tweeting the title, but released it just after noon today. We can assume that the track was originally going to appear on Flower Boy seeing as Tyler referred to it as a "throwaway track" on Twitter, but we're lucky he released it now because this shit slaps.
Following the format of the "FLOWER BOY: a conversation" video that was released in January, the "OKRA" video produced by Happy Place is a split screen visual. Throughout the video we see Tyler riding a bike in the desert, rapping while seated in a chair, a close up of his gold tooth studded mouth rapping, and bopping around in a room with a strobe light with other Odd Future members... all while wearing his signature shoe, Golf le Fleur, who sponsored the video.
According to Tyler's Twitter he will "promote this song for the next 5 days, then continue to live a normal life, thank you, holla".
You can check out the lyrics of the bop below that feature shoutouts to Timothée Chalamet, Ron Artest, and, obviously, Wolf Gang.

There's several notable staple accessories in hip-hop music: grills, chains, Jordan's, but at the 2017 Met Gala Jaden Smith shook it up by carrying his own dreads as an accessory.
The Met Gala is one of the greatest annual fashion events. Each year, the greatest names in pop culture pair up with a designer and walk down the red carpet in an outfit designed to match the gala's theme (which happened to be Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons).
Of course Rihanna, Kim Kardashian, and Migos looked absolutely dapper, but there was no one who drew more attention than young Jaden Smith.
The rapper took to the red carpet sporting a newly shaved head with his own dreads in his hands. His incredible grill and perfectly tailored Louis Vuitton suit were overshadowed by the bouquet of locs that Smith spent most of the night posing with.
Of course the Internet went absolutely insane the next day, but the tour of Smith's dreadlocks didn't stop. They even joined him on The Late Late Show with James Corden.
We are now forced to question what Smith will accessorize with this Met Gala: A bag of dog shit? An item of roadkill? His own severed foot? We'll just have to wait until May to see.

Following the summer 2017 release of his debut album Teenage Emotions, Lil Yachty sat down with Genius to break down the meaning of what seemed to be a very simple song: "Peek A Boo". It turned out to be a lot more entertaining than I assume they expected it would.
It all started when Yachty hit the line "My new bitch yellow... She blow that dick like a cello" and Lil Boat accidentally admitted that he has absolutely no knowledge of musical instruments at all.
Lil Yachty pauses at that line to say "Before you come at me, I'ma let you know. I'ma blame my A&R. Because he listened to that song many times and he allowed me to say that. I guess for a second I thought a cello was a woodwind instrument and it is not. And nobody ever said shit. ... Nobody ever pulled up a pic and said, "Hey man. I don't know if you know what this is, but it ain't that." ... I fucked up. I thought Squidward played the cello. He don't. That's a flute. I fucked up."
Of course Twitter in general had an absolute heyday with this quote and SpongeBob stans were quick correct Lil Yachty and inform him that Squidward in fact plays a clarinet. It's been almost a year and I'm still so confused at how no one stopped this and how anyone anywhere close to my age doesn't know what instrument Squidward plays.
The whole thing, which has been dubbed as "cello-gate", only revealed that Lil Yachty needs better management and the American Public School System needs better music education.

It was 2014 and I was underage and stranded in Bloomington. I had made the hour long pilgrimage down 37 from Indianapolis to the promised land, better known as North Jordan. However, the frat party I was supposed to meet some friends at was cancelled due to an unexpected visit from nationals and all of my friends were tied up dealing with that situation, so I was left to entertain myself for a few hours in order to make my drive worth the while.
After scouring the mall for a half an hour and grabbing a bite to eat at Mother Bear's, I decided to head down to Kirkwood. Being 17 meant that there wasn't too much I could get into, but I loved the small glimpse into what my life would be like in a few semesters.
I was enchanted by the boys in Patagonias chasing girls in heels that I couldn't figure out how they could run in under the neon of the Kilroy's on Kirkwood sign. I sat down on the concrete ledge next to where The Big Cheese was currently parked and watched as people stumbled across the crosswalks, laughing and singing Drake. I was surveying up and down Kirkwood, taking in all the people who were both too pretty and too drunk to be in my presence when I noticed a strange phenomenon occurring.
There was a man walking down Indiana, towards Dunn Meadow, with a group of boys following him. I didn't understand what they were following him for, because he looked very homeless to me, but I got up and started walking in that same direction because I had absolutely nothing better to be doing. He hopped over the small chain fence that surrounds the meadow and headed towards a stage. I followed suit, about 50 yards away, and walked to the other side of the stage. My jaw immediately dropped.
There was a large crowd of college students gathered in front of the stage. I made my way through the crowd of bro tanks, flannels, and sunglasses that it was entirely too dark to wear and found a space at the back. Scanning the perimeter of the scene, I noticed food, merch, and people scatted around on blankets who had clearly been camped out there all day. I surveyed the scene for some hints about what I had just, quite literally, stumbled upon and noticed a lot of people were wearing white tanks with the phrase "Culture Shock" printed on them. My next Google search was the search that would end up shaping my college career.
My next Google search was a quick one, because I wanted to enjoy the show. I looked up these two words that I saw plastered on the back of everyone's bro tanks and found out that this was an annual festival put on by something called WIUX (which I screenshotted to look more into later) and it was totally free. This year's headliner just happened to be a man who had a gap in his teeth and loved cigarettes named Mac DeMarco, so I locked my phone and enjoyed his strange voice.
When I got home that night, I researched as much as I possibly could about the fest and the organization that put it on. I was amazed that this occurred annually just an hour from my hometown and I'd never even heard of it. I vowed to join WIUX if I was ever accepted to IU and began to countdown the days to the next Culture Shock.
As they say, the rest is history.
I danced the day away to Foxygen and Twin Peaks 365 days later and made my college decision based solely on the fact that I wanted to be a part of WIUX so I could help plan future Culture Shocks.
There's a lot of amazing things that this organization has done in it's half of a century in existence, but the most impactful on my life is the fact that they got me to follow a man who I was wholeheartedly convinced was homeless into a field for one of the most unforgettable nights of my life.
If you've never attended a Culture Shock, this is your chance. Join us on April 14 to see some incredible bands aside some even more incredible people for a grand total of $0. I promise you won't regret it, I never have.

I'm seeing Tyler, The Creator Friday at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago and I'm excited, but I'm also sad that it's not the same era of Tyler that existed when I first started listening to Odd Future 7 years ago. I miss the gritty, unfiltered teenager that Tyler was when he first emerged, and the fact that 90% of the songs he created some years ago would never be popular today due to problematic themes and language.
I've been grappling a lot with what my dream setlist is. Of course, I would love to see both Goblin and Bastard played in full, but if that happened then I'd miss out on some of my favorite Tyler x Frank Ocean collaborations and some of the incredible tracks off of his last record.
Alas, here is my dream setlist for Tyler, The Creator:
"She"- Tyler, The Creator ft. Frank Ocean
This is an absolute must as it is one of my favorite Tyler love songs AND it features the incredible Frank Ocean. I remember buying this album and listening to it in my car and my mom just cringing at the "I wanna drag your lifeless body to the forrest and fornicate with it" lyric, and maybe the fact that something I loved so much made the older generation SO uncomfortable was yet another reason why I love this track so much.
"Tina"- Tyler, The Creator ft. Jasper and Taco
Imagine throwing 'bows in the pit to this.
"Sandwitches"- Tyler, The Creator
This beat drop is singlehandedly responsible for all of the hood rat shit I did from 2011 on.
"Glitter"- Tyler, The Creator
I LOVE THE IDEA OF TYLER BEING IN LOVE AND WHEN I LISTEN TO THIS SONG I FEEL LIKE I'M IN LOVE TOO. I also feel like there's potential for some very cool light design during a live performance of this track.
"Golden Girl" -Frank Ocean ft. Tyler, The Creator
First and foremost, the production on this record is B R A Z Y, which I know you wouldn't get in a live show... BUT STILL. I'm also 100% on board for the classic distorted sound from Tyler.
"Blow"- Tyler, The Creator
THE CALLBACK!!!!!! IMAGINE SCREAMING THIS CHORUS LIVE!!!!!
"Boredom"- Tyler, The Creator
I wanna cry a little at every show I go to.
"See You Again" - Tyler, The Creator ft. Kali Uchis
Like I said... I wanna cry a little.
"Yonkers" -Tyler, The Creator
OBVIOUSLY. This video made me physically ill the first time I saw it 7 years ago and honestly.... I'll never be over it.
"Who Dat Boy" -Tyler, The Creator
and while we're still hype we may as well end it here.

It's been a minute and a whole, entirely too long, Migos' album since we last spoke about our favorite trio. I had been waiting for the right time to bring back Bad & Newsie, and the fact that Migos assisted in winning the USA a gold medal at the olympics this week seemed like the perfect time.
Yeah... You read that right.
The amazing, 17-year-old snowboarder Chloe Kim reported that she was listening to Migos' hit "MotorSport" during her third pass at the halfpipe.
What this means is that while this incredible athlete was performing at a level that caused her to win a gold medal she was listening to Quavo describe popping a shawty like a cork... and that's what makes America great.

Major Murphy is joining our Culture Shock lineup!
The group will perform at Culture Shock on April 14, just a few short weeks after the release of their debut album.
Grand Rapids’ Major Murphy is set to release their debut full-length No. 1 this year. Those who caught feelings for "Mary,” the plaintive single released in November of 2017, may be pleased to find that the single is no outlier in this album. Brimming with jangly guitar, bright riffs, synth-sheened grooves, and commanding backing vocals, No. 1 reimagines 70s radio rock with bristling sensitivity for our present era.
Not quite pastiche, the lyrics of songwriter Jacob Bullard come from millennials’ unique cache of societal anxiety and ego-crises. The album’s musical sensibilities catch all this with A-side’s sudden velocity and mechanical repetitions, and B side’s encouraging grooves and contemplative soft-rock. The sound is rich and evocative, owing in large measure to bassist Jacki Warren’s faculty for harmonic structure. Drummer Brian Voortman’s keen responsiveness to melodic progressions and emotional shifts make for concert-like, energetic recordings--in fact, most of No. 1 was recorded live, capturing how naturally Major Murphy makes music together.
The result is an album that holds the kinetic charge of these three musicians. With precise control and live versatility, they never quite let the tension out. Even their dreamy soft-rock tracks have moments that feel utterly urgent, as if something dear were at stake. And isn’t there? Major Murphy’s No. 1 releases via Winspear on March 30, 2018.

While it was pretty incredible that the Philadelphia Eagles decided to enter the Super Bowl to Meek Mill's "Dreams & Nightmares Intro", it's even crazier that the Philadelphia rapper's fight for justice has now made it to an international stage.
The jail time being served by Meek Mill is a controversial and problematic topic, as the sentencing was unjust, and Slovenian snowboarder Tit Stante took to his snowboard to advocated for the release of Meek at the Olympics.
The 19-year-old snowboarder was photographed just before the men's halfpipe qualifiers flashing a white snowboard with "#FREEMEEKMILL" written on it in Sharpie. Since the event, the hilarious photograph has gone viral.
Will this be the most iconic moment of the Olympics? Only time will tell.

You've probably seen the infamous Vine of rapper Rick Ross shouting out the fruit, but how much do you really know about "shout out to all the pear"?
The quote originated from an interview in London on May 18, 2014 between Rick Ross and an English DJ named Tim Westwood intended to promo Ross' European tour. During the interview the topic of Rick Ross' weight loss came up and the rapper began to list off of all of the ways that he has been attempting to cut pounds. Although he also talked about his own fitness regimen that he dubbed "RossFit", which is hilarious and also something that I would like to try, the part of this section of the interview that garnered the most attention was Ross saying that he added pears to his diet. I'm not sure if it's the ridiculousness of stating that a singular fruit is aiding weight loss or the delivery of the statement that makes it hilarious, but you cannot deny that this is one of the funniest interview moments of all time and led to a slew of creative content across the internet.
