Kirk Minihane announces the end of ‘The Kirk Minihane Show’

Kirk Minihane announced on Tuesday that The Kirk Minihane Show is over. The Barstool Sports podcast host took an indefinite hiatus last week for mental health reasons and returned to say his daily show is ending permanently after six and a half years. “This is the last episode of The Kirk Minihane Show,” Minihane said. “We’re done. This is not a bit. I’m not coming back in three months. Dave and I are good. We’re done. I think The Case, which I’ve been working on stuff the last few days, I really enjoy doing it. It’s a new muscle. I want to make it bigger. Minihane posted on Nov. 16 that he was taking time off, describing the previous months as some of the lowest he could remember. It marked his fourth known mental health-related break since 2018, going back to his days at WEEI in Boston. Portnoy brought Minihane to Barstool in May 2019 after a messy exit from the Boston sports radio scene, and KMS became one of the company’s flagship podcasts. Minihane gave Barstool something it didn’t really have at the time, which was a daily, must-listen tentpole with a fanbase that treated the show like a sports team. And now, after six and a half years at the top, Minihane is walking away on his own terms. “I just don’t want to do it,” he explained. “I don’t want it in my head anymore. So, we’re done. It’s over.”.

Damian Lillard’s waiver was one of the offseason’s biggest surprises. Milwaukee moved on after his playoff ACL tear, but despite the abrupt exit, the Bucks still honored him with a video tribute on Monday, baffling NBA fans. The Bucks offered Lillard a tribute video during the Portland Trail Blazers’ visit to the Fiserv Forum. The clip was shared on X (formerly Twitter) by Hoop Central. Thanks for the submission! “Milwaukee Bucks tribute video for Damian Lillard. 🙌👏,” Hoop Central captioned the post. 70% Win (110-25-1) 70% Win (110-25-1) 70% Win (110-25-1) Unlock Free tips from our Experts Get Picks Now This video caught the attention of fans who were left puzzled by the tribute, considering the All-Star only played two seasons in Milwaukee. Although some fans questioned Milwaukee’s choice to honor him, many still felt Lillard deserved his flowers. Dame joined the Milwaukee Bucks in 2023, following a successful campaign with the Trail Blazers, where he averaged 32. 2 points per game. He made an immediate impact in Cream City, dropping a 39 points in his debut, a franchise record. Lillard kept shining in his first season with Milwaukee, breaking several records and earning a spot as an East starter at the All-Star Game. He capped it off by winning All-Star MVP and taking home the three-point contest title. Despite his strong year, Lillard and the Bucks were knocked out in the first round by the Pacers. His numbers dipped the following season, but he still helped Milwaukee win the NBA Cup, securing the first title of his career. However, the NBA Cup win stood as his biggest moment in Milwaukee. Lillard battled injuries all season and, despite another All-Star nod, his year ended with an Achilles tear in the playoffs. He was waived in the offseason and later re-signed with Portland, where he’s yet to make his second debut. Damian Lillard responds to the Bucks’ tribute video with a show of gratitude Damian Lillard returned to Milwaukee on Monday as the Trail Blazers beat the Bucks 115-103. Despite Portland’s win, the spotlight was on Dame, who received a tribute video from his former team honoring his two years in Milwaukee. Although the nine-time All-Star was on the court during the tribute, he later acknowledged the gesture on Instagram with a grateful response. “🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼,” Dame wrote re-sharing Bucks’ tribute video. In his two years with Milwaukee, Lillard played 138 games for the franchise, averaging 24. 6 points and 4. 8 rebounds, while making two All-Star appearances.

**Taylor Momsen Reflects on 25 Years Since *How the Grinch Stole Christmas* and Reunion with Jim Carrey**

Taylor Momsen recently reunited with her *How the Grinch Stole Christmas* co-star Jim Carrey, marking 25 years since the beloved holiday film was released. The pair came together at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony on November 8, sharing a heartfelt moment that delighted fans and attendees alike.

When asked about her favorite memories from filming the movie, Momsen told *PEOPLE*, “I have a lot, honestly.” She went on to say, “I just love that he was very protective of me. He was always very kind. And just the entire experience of filming *Grinch* and getting to know him so well, even in all the makeup, was just wonderful.”

Momsen also revealed how Carrey’s commitment to his craft during the production left a “powerful, lasting impact” on her life as an adult. She shared, “And I’m excited to be able to tell him that as a grownup.”

At the event, the actors paused for photos together, sharing a sweet and nostalgic moment. Jim Carrey surprised everyone by admitting that they hadn’t seen each other since the movie’s release, highlighting how meaningful their reunion was after all these years.

Directed by Ron Howard, *How the Grinch Stole Christmas* debuted in 2000. The film tells the story of the Grinch, played by Jim Carrey, a character who despises Christmas and tries to ruin the holiday by stealing all the presents in the whimsical town of Whoville. Despite his efforts, Cindy Lou Who, portrayed by Momsen, believes there’s good inside the Grinch and forms an unlikely friendship with him.

While the movie was a huge success, Taylor Momsen has since shifted her focus away from acting. Besides her roles in *Spy Kids 2* and *Gossip Girl*, she has concentrated mainly on her music career. Today, Momsen is the frontwoman of Pretty Reckless, a New York City-based rock band known for its powerful sound and passionate performances.

This reunion and reflection serve as a touching reminder of the enduring impact *How the Grinch Stole Christmas* has had on its cast and fans alike, celebrating a quarter-century of holiday magic.
