On Adam Sandler Officiating the Wedding

I was at first flabbergasted that Adam Sandler of all people was the officiant. I've never seen him hang out with the couple.

But then the pieces feel into place. Travis had a cameo in Happy Gilmore 2. They must have met on set. Adam Sandler is known for being willing to make any shitty movie so long as it will give him and his friends a paycheck. He is also known for being extremely loyal to his friends and casting them over and over in all his movies.

I also know that Travis' team has said they are trying to get him into movies. And Taylor has tried the same thing in the past.

Adam being asked to officiate the wedding for them makes perfect sense. It gives them the exact connection they need for the next phase of their careers. Meanwhile, it adds star power to the documentary they will inevitably release of the performance, I mean "wedding".

Confused About Online Application Process

I was working my way through the initial online SSDI application, and I'm very confused. I finished part 1, which was just basic info and my finances. I couldn't access part 2 without submitting part 1. So I submitted it. But now when I try to login, I can't get back to the application. It just says my application was submitted and is under review for 15-30 days.

I'm worried that I messed up the submission process. I never filled out part 2, or part 3 or 4. So I didn't even get to put in a diagnosis or any medical info. Did I totally ruin it? Or is there a way to go back and finish filling it out?

I appreciate any help you can give.

How to place an MLB future parlay?

Hi! I'm pretty new to sportsbetting, and am hoping y'all can help me. I had a dream that I would like to place a bet on. Basically in the dream, it was a Monday night, and the Red Sox had just won the first 3 games of the world series. I think betting that they win just the first 3 games of the series would be a future parlay.

I have found ways to bet on the overall winner of the world series, and that the Red Sox will win the American League. But I can't find a way to place a bet on the 3 games specifically. I would like to bet on all 3 as a future because that should give me bigger odds than just betting on the overall series.

So far I have tried my local casino, their app, and the draft kings app. Does anyone know what app might have such a betting option?

Edit: Please stop ridiculing me. My question is about how to place this type of bet, not whether or not you think it has a chance of winning.

Taylor acting like she's doing an oscar acceptance speech at Toy Story 5 premiere

I do not think it is normal to give a full on speech thanking people between performances. But she did.

Note: reposted with new link of just the speech, no song.

Taylor's Mediocre Piano Playing in The Giver

I just watched The Giver movie, which was decent. But I didn't realize Taylor had a scene in it. The plot's a little complicated, about passing on memories. The important thing is that her character was supposed to be very good at piano. According to the story, she gained the skill, then taught Jeff Bridges.

What's very striking is that Taylor's scene is very beginner level. I think she only plays 5 notes total, and only with one hand. She sounds unrealistically bad for what the character is supposed to be.

Earlier, there is a scene where Jeff Bridges plays the same song. He did miss one or two notes at the start, as he was saying he was bad at it. He claimed he wasn't as good as his teacher (Taylor). Then he goes on to play the song beautifully with both hands.

Both actors do pretty much the same scene, showing someone else this piano song. But when Jeff, who plays piano in real life, does it, it's super obvious that the actor can play. When Taylor does her scene, it is likewise super obvious that she can't play. I think it's funny because she was probably chosen for this role because the character is a musician. But she couldn't follow through with any real skill.

Why I think her dance moves only last a few seconds

So I have this theory. I've watched many videos of her performing, and I see 2 patterns with her "dance" moves.

1- she generally does not do choreography for more than a few seconds before she switches to walking or pointing. I believe this is because she can't keep the beat. She doesn't really move with the beat a lot of the time. That would be more obvious if the choreography went on longer. With just a couple sways or shakes, your eyes get confused and can't pinpoint that she's off beat, because it's over before you have time to think.

2- the camera is constantly cutting to a new shot at a different angle. It keeps showing the crowd or a zoom of of the stage instead of her. It's hard to watch the Eras tour movie without getting dizzy. Much more so than with other performers. I believe this is another trick to get us to not see how off beat her movements are. And also to distract from her lipsyncing. She also uses complicated stages and decorations to further distract from this.

Lastly, I don't think it's inherently bad for a singer to not be a dancer. But she should have some sense of rhythm. Taylor doesn't, which I why I don't believe she's really a musician. Compare her to someone like Ariana, who is also not known for her dance moves. The camera still stays on Ariana for extended periods of time. Even though she's not doing complex moves, she's still on beat, because most musicians naturally move to the beat.
