SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH: Brought to you by BetterCreditCards.com

Exercising outside could be more beneficial to you than an indoor workout, a new study suggests. A team at Texas A&M University analyzed data from prior research regarding the benefits of outdoor exercise compared with indoor workouts. The studies revealed a mix of benefits from outdoor physical activity, including improved mood and brain function, better social interaction, greater enjoyment of exercise, and possibly even less perceived exertion.

Diddy” is getting out of Dodge. Disgraced music mogul Sean Combs has reportedly put his LA mansion up for sale less than 4 months after Homeland Security raided it in connection to a sex trafficking investigation. TMZ says he’s is trying to sell his pricey pad off-market for $70 million — over $30 million more than he paid in 2014. The Holmby Hills home has 17,000 square feet of living space and features 8 bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, a 35-seat theater, a gym and a wine room, and the 1-acre property also includes a 3,000-square-foot guest home.

The first round of box office projections has arrived for Marvel’s “Deadpool & Wolverine,” and they predict the highest-ever opening weekend for an R-rated film — at $160 million-plus. That would also mean that the “Deadpool” franchise would have all of the Top 3 R-rated openings, as the original 2016 film currently holds the record with $132 million, closely followed by its 2018 sequel “Deadpool 2”, with $125.5 million. Anything above $162 million would pass the opening weekend of “Barbie”, and would be the biggest opening weekend for any film since “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” in November 2022. Deadpool & Wolverine opens on July 26.

John Cena made a surprise return at WWE Money in the Bank 2024 — and had a shocking announcement, too. The 16-time world champ showed up in Toronto to reveal that he will retire at next year’s WrestleMania 41 event in Las Vegas. After Sami Zayn defeated Bron Breakker to retain the championship, host Trish Stratus introduced special guest Cena. In a heartfelt speech, he informed the crowd that next year’s Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber events—the final two stops on the road to WrestleMania—will be his last. So, too, will WrestleMania 41, the 2-night extravaganza at Allegiant Stadium.

This week marks the 39th anniversary of the release of “Back to the Future”.

Could it be that there’s a cure for baldness on the way? Researchers in England say they’ve discovered a “biological mechanism” that causes hair to thin. The team, from the University of Manchester, uncovered the link while testing a drug designed to boost hair follicles in the scalp. Long story short, hair follicle cells become stressed as they age, slowing down growth. But if a follicle experiences too much stress, the cell can die, which stops, rather than slows hair growth. The scientists feel that if they can find a way to stop overstressing follicles, they may be able to develop a drug to prevent hair loss. By the time they reach middle age, roughly 85% of men are affected by hair loss, and 50% of women.

WEIRD NEWS: Brought to you by WeirdGiftOfTheDay.com

Think of it as an ode to summer. Nissin Foods, the makers of Cup Noodles instant ramen noodles, has introduced its newest flavor: “Campfire S’mores”. I’ll wait for you to finish saying “yuck” before I continue… OK. The limited-edition offering combines microwavable noodles with a flavor blend of chocolate, marshmallow and graham crackers, and a smoky note “for a truly unique s’mores experience”, plus additional mini marshmallows to sprinkle on top. The result, I’m told, is a sweet and gooey dessert you can prepare in 5 minutes. Other limited ramen flavors that Cup Noodles has introduced in the past include: Pumpkin Spice, Everything Bagel, and Breakfast (a mixture of maple syrup pancakes, sausage and eggs).

The 111th Calgary Stampede wraps up this weekend. While some people definitely go for the rodeo, some are just there for the food. Here’s a sampling of this year’s menu:

Watermelon burger: Instead of a bun, it features sesame-covered watermelon slices. Served with feta, spinach and fresh mint, and drizzled with balsamic reduction.

Cheeseburger Ice Cream: It’s a vanilla-infused BBQ-flavored ice cream in a waffle cone. It’s then dunked in hot cheese and sprinkled with sesame seeds, and garnished with an onion ring and a pickle.

Pickle Fry Poutine: It combines brined, seasoned, and fried pickle fries with Quebec cheese curds and hot gravy. This unique twist on the classic Canadian dish adds a tangy crunch, and the dill flavor is said to perfectly complement the savoury elements of the poutine.

Gator Pepperoni Pizza: Not kidding. It features a thin crust topped with low-fat mozzarella cheese, caramelized onions, and artisan alligator pepperoni. When are you going to have another chance to eat alligator – in Calgary?

Ube Coconut Little Donuts: A new take on a Stampede classic. These mini donuts are infused with ube, a purple yam from the Philippines, which gives them a distinctive color and earthy flavor, then topped with ube cream and sweet coconut shavings.

Cowboyaki: It is a fusion dish that blends traditional Japanese takoyaki with Stampede flair. These ball-shaped snacks are filled with meat floss, octopus, seaweed strips, pickled ginger, and cabbage — then brushed with teriyaki sauce.

And to wash it down…

Chamoy Lemonade: It combines classic lemonade with chamoy, a tangy and spicy Mexican condiment. Topped with chilli lime seasoning and peach rings, it is said to be a refreshing sip that’s both sweet and spicy.
