Pop Culture Addictions
I just saw that someone did a pop culture addiction blog post and since I waited until the last minute to do these posts, I am going to do one as well. I have a few different pop culture addictions. One of my pop culture addictions that has been afflicting me the longest is the game show Jeopardy, hosted by Alex Trebek. I love Jeopardy so much because I really enjoy learning useless knowledge that will really never ultimately help me. I love Jeopardy so much that I even have certain strategies that I stick to while playing. I always risk it all on the Daily Double if it is in the first round. Im not that ballsy in Double Jeopardy however. I dont Daily Double hunt either, its tacky. I am so vested in this show that I actually give the contestants of the show hell when they dont use my strategy. Is this irrational? Yes. But whatever. Another one of my pop culture addictions is Swamp People on the History Channel. This is one of the five most entertaining things that you will ever see. Basically, This show chronicles the life and times of alligator hunters in the Southern swamps of the United States. The main characters of the show dont know each other, and all work independently, in groups of two. My favorite group is a man named Troy Landry and his son Jacob Landry. They work well together, not fighting much, and catching their fill of gators every episode. The best part about this pair is their accents. They are real Cajun. In every episode at some point, Troy says "Choot em Jacob! Choot em!" I also like watching this guy named Bruce. He always wears an American flag bandanna, overalls, and no shirt. He hunts alone, except for his dog, Tyler. Tyler and Bruce make a good team. Tyler is loyal and Bruce does whatever it takes to get the job done. Anyway, if you have not seen either of these shows, check them out.
