Amazon Prime Day 2021 deal gives bonus $10 credit with $40 gift card | Ars Technica
To get the deal, you’ll have to use the code “GIFTFORPD21” at checkout or tap the “Apply code to your account” button located on the offer’s landing page. You should then see a notice at checkout that confirms your eligibility for the credit, which Amazon will then email to you and apply to your account within two days. The company says you’ll have to use the credit before August 8, and the credit itself can’t be applied to items sold by third-party vendors on Amazon’s store. You can only utilize the offer once per account, and again, the deal is only for Prime members, since Amazon’s aim here is to generate more users and sales activity ahead of Prime Day. All that said, if you buy a card for yourself, the deal effectively gives $50 in Amazon money for the price of $40. Amazon says the offer will run through June 20 or while supplies last.

Bob Odenkirk Originally Turned Down “Better Call Saul”
This is amazing. Bob Odenkirk originally turned down Better Call Saul but his kids talked him into it. Watch this great video from the Howard Stern Show.
A Dad’s Jets Dilemma
In this clip, Rich Eisen discusses the New York Jets and their poorly timed win over the Los Angeles Rams. But he brings up something else that’s dad-related.
Eisen’s son asked him if he was upset about the win, and while he was indeed (because this means they probably won’t get the number one pick) he felt like he should say something else. Namely that the win was great because it showed character. The team didn’t take defeat lying down. Talking about running back Frank Gore, Eisen said, “I’m a hall of famer and I don’t want 0-16 on my resume.” (Paraphrasing.)
But he’s a Jets fan. And he needs to teach his son a different lesson. Namely, that the Jets stink and will always hurt you, no matter what.

The Day Wolfgang Van Halen Learned His Dad Was Famous
Wolfgang Van Halen says he was “six or seven” years old the day he learned his father Eddie was a famous rock guitarist. “They were doing all the CD remasters” for the six David Lee Roth-era Van Halen albums, he tells UCR. “I found a box of all of them, and I saw my name on it and a picture of my dad. I said, ‘Dad, what’s this?’ and he said, ‘Oh, yeah, uh … this is what I do.’ And he kind of introduced me to everything.”
