Please excuse me for not making so much as a cameo appearance on last week’s “Five O’Clock Somewhere.” I honestly did try to phone in as promised, but I couldn’t get Vimeo — that’s our video live-streaming service — to work on my phone.

No such luck this week, though: All three amigos are back in the saddle for another marathon VIP Gold Live Chat about the issues of the day, air fryer technique, and cold drinks. See you Thursday — can’t wait! See you Thursday — can’t wait! P.S. If you aren’t already a VIP Gold supporter, what are you waiting for?

The war in Afghanistan took 20 years and claimed at least 174,000 lives, but the fall of Kabul took place over the course of a weekend. With the Taliban closing in, former president Ashraf Ghani fled the country on Saturday, August 14. By Sunday, the Taliban had entered the Afghan presidential palace. But as residents of Kabul either waited fearfully to see what the takeover would mean for them or tried to flee through chaotic scenes at the city’s airport, Afghanistan’s only evacuation point, a frantic volunteer effort was underway to help as many people as possible.

Legendary Twitch star Asmongold is predicting that WoW will be seeing some monumentally huge changes in upcoming patches that will either make or break the iconic MMORPG. World of Warcraft has been bleeding users in recent months, thanks in part to other games rising the ranks and Blizzard’s own issues, both pertaining to WoW and the company as a whole. Now, the popular streaming personality is claiming that fans will be in for some crazy new updates soon that will change the game forever. “I think WoW needed this,” the streamer revealed. “They needed this, because odds are the executives and the leadership that’s in charge of the game will see this and they will restructure the team.
