Connor Storrie shares a surprising Heated Rivalry story in Seth Meyers interview
If you haven't already been charmed by Heated Rivalry's Connor Storrie, chances are you're living under a rock.
SEE ALSO: A new 'Heated Rivalry' book is on the way — preorder 'Unrivaled' by Rachel Reid nowStorrie and his co-star Hudson Williams have been on a massive press run following the show's runaway success, doing everything from presenting at the Golden Globes to making their respective debuts on late night TV. Williams stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Jan. 7, and on Jan. 13, Storrie appeared on Late Night With Seth Meyers.
During the interview, Storrie and Meyers chat about his overnight stardom and the skills he learned for the show. As Russian hockey star Ilya Rozanov, Storrie had to learn several scenes in Russian, as well as perfect a Russian accent, a process that involved taking four hour-long lessons every day for a month and a half.
"I fully just assumed they had found a Russian-speaking actor for this part," Meyers told Storrie.
Apparently, so did some of Heated Rivalry's Russian actors. Storrie recalled shooting a scene with several Russian background actors, one of whom approached him as he reset for a take and began to talk to him in Russian.
"She thought my parents were Russian, and I speak Russian at home with a pseudo-American accent," he said.
Now, Storrie has a prepared response for people who believe he's actually fluent in Russian: "My go-to, I always say in Russian, 'I speak Russian really poorly.'"
However, according to Storrie, learning Russian was nowhere near as tricky as learning how to skate. To hear more about his skating experiences and his breakout fame post-Heated Rivalry, check out the full interview above.
Microsofts Copilot is coming for your File Explorer
You thought File Explorer was safe from AI? You were wrong.
Windows hacker/leaker @phantomofearth (via Windows Central) recently noticed that Microsoft is testing adding Microsoft's AI assistant, Copilot, to Windows File Explorer.
Discovered in a preview build of Windows 11, an invisible button lodged in the File Explorer will (likely) allow you to "Chat with Copilot."
We don't know how the button will be used, exactly, but it's likely to allow users to get Copilot's help on a document they've selected in File Explorer.
File Explorer already allows users to invoke Copilot through the right click contextual menu. A dedicated button would integrate the AI assistant even deeper with File Explorer.
Phantomofearth also shared a Windows screenshot with two Copilot prompts showing up in the Taskbar.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.While this is likely a bug, users immediately started making fun of Microsoft, calling the new OS "Winslop 11." The fact is, a lot of people simply don't want AI being omnipresent in the software they use every single day, but this probably won't stop Microsoft from adding Copilot to yet another key part of Windows.
SEE ALSO: Give your old PC a fresh start with this Microsoft bundleCopilot recently made headlines as LG started forcing it onto some of its smart TVs, though the company did ultimately relent, promising it will allow users to delete unwanted Copilot shortcuts.
After 30 years, the original Star Wars theatrical cut is finally returning
For almost fifty years, Star Wars has been a staple of pop culture. It is a franchise that has been able to reinvent itself and create new tales that several generations can enjoy. Despite this expansive, fully fleshed out galaxy that has allowed Star Wars to expand into television, however, the franchise has always returned to the three foundational movies that captured audiences throughout the 1970s and 1980s, now known as the original trilogy.
5 everyday actions that Power Query does better than regular Excel tools

The Pokémon TCG: Collector Chest is finally around market price on Amazon
TL;DR: The Fall 2025 edition of the Pokémon TCG Collector chest is now only $37.10 at Amazon. That's 36% off its $57.99 list price.
Opens in a new window Credit: The Pokémon Company Pokémon TCG: Collector Chest Fall 2025 $37.10 at Amazon$57.99 Save $20.89 Get Deal
Pokémon TCG’s inflated pricing due to short supply is not going anywhere, so sometimes the best bargains come from collections you wouldn’t expect. In this case, it’s the latest Collector Chest becoming more affordable. As of Jan. 13, you can buy the Pokémon TCG’s Fall 2025 Collector Chest for just $37.10 at Amazon, with $20.89 chopped off its price of $57.99. That brings it to just $2.50 over its current market price on TCGPlayer.
The lowest-price listing on TCGplayer is for $65.15 when shipping is added on, making Amazon's listing a bargain comparatively.
The Collector Chest contains the following:
A mixture of six booster packs — based on the imagery, it looks like three Mega Evolution, two of Journey Together, and one Destined Rivals, but the contents may differ with each chest
Three foil promo cards of Ralts, Kirlia, and Riolu
One Mega Lucario Pokémon coin
Four sticker sheets
A mini portfolio to store your cards ineaper in the past, but the ever-shrinking quantity from its limited supply has been driving the prices up. That’s especially true of the included Destined Rivals packs — a hit expansion from May 2025 with restocks that have been rarer than the newer Mega Evolution expansion.
In a market where you currently need to pay upwards of $50 for a booster bundle containing six packs of in-demand Pokémon trading card expansions, like Phantasmal Flames — $37 for the same amount plus promo cards, a coin, and a mini portfolio and tin to store them all in is an amazing deal by comparison.
Granted, the six boosters are a mixture of three different expansions rather than one, but if you’re like most Pokémon TCG collectors who are trying to complete multiple sets, this is a must-buy.
Speaking of Pokémon TCG deals, you can also grab the Lugia ex and Latias ex Premium Collection for $30 off. If it's ETBs you’re seeking, you can also find both Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution Elite Trainer Boxes at around market price at Amazon.
I found a way to remove Google Messages’ Remix button, but it’s not worth it
If you’ve been using Google Messages recently, you’ve likely noticed the blue button with a banana icon showing up on photos. This is the Nano Banana "Remix" button, and it might be the most annoying way Google is trying to force AI into your daily conversations.
Why I buy used server drives instead of new NVMe sticks
Typically, I discourage buying used drives. In fact, I normally extend that advice to "don't buy anything that's not a brand-new drive." You can't be sure of the conditions the drive is in, and unless you're working with completely disposable data, it's not a good idea in the long term.

Jimmy Kimmel answers Stephen Colberts quickfire questions, gets surprisingly deep
Can Stephen Colbert get to the heart of who Jimmy Kimmel really is?
In the video above he certainly makes a good go of it, running through his usual quickfire "Questionert" questions on everything from "Favorite Sandwich?" to "Earliest Memory?"
Kimmel's answers are a mixture of amusing and surprisingly deep, and overall far less chaotic than Will Ferrell's.
5 ways Zorin OS makes switching from Windows feel effortless

A lot of these people have been flocking to ZorinOS, so I decided to give it a try.

Ubisoft’s Star Wars Outlaws didn’t set the gaming world on fire at its high launch price of $69.99 in 2024, but when on sale, it’s undoubtedly going to sell faster than Kessel-mined Spice.
As of Jan. 13, you can buy Amazon’s exclusive Star Wars Outlaws - Limited Edition on PS5 for only $19.99 — a huge 60% discount on the retailer’s current list price of $49.95. The Xbox Series X version is still available, but for a much larger $42.49.

Despite the fact that the Star Wars game didn’t sell very well compared to expectations (around a million copies in its first month, lower than expected for the franchise), Star Wars Outlaws has finally been growing in players thanks to the combination of various quality-of-life updates and multiple price drops offering great value for money.
After all, Star Wars Outlaws was always a decent game altogether; even now, it has a favorable review score of 75 on Metacritic. When I played and reviewed it for another site, it was a good time with an actually fun story — it just wasn’t $70-good.
At the time of writing, Amazon had marked the game’s product page with “deal selling fast”, showing us that this price is more than the sweet spot for fans. This is definitely the lowest price we’ll see for the Limited Edition of Star Wars Outlaws, so be sure to grab it if you’re on the fence.
If you’re adding more to your backlog, you can also grab the hit 2025 shooter Battlefield 6 for $30 off on Amazon. You can also buy the Silent Hill 2 remake on PS5 for just $27.39 at Amazon.
Jimmy Kimmel spends 2 minutes breaking down exactly how much the world hates America
With everything going on in the world right now – from Trump's recent attack on Venezuela to his threats over Greenland – Jimmy Kimmel has a feeling America isn't too popular.
"You know, I hate to break it to you guys, but we, the shining beacon of democracy, America — we are the bad guys now. Remember the good old days where people from other countries, eh they thought we were annoying because we talk too loud and we wore cut off shorts into museums, and did chest bumps and wore fanny packs into the Vatican? Sometimes we'd go to Paris and say 'You're welcome for the war'? Well now they hate us for real stuff. Our neighbors hate us, Mexico's mad at us, Canada's mad at us...we're that house at the end of the block where the nice old lady used to live, and then her son-in-law moved in and started letting his dogs run wild and biting children. If this was a movie, this country was once the Karate Kid. Now we're Billy Zabka."
Elsewhere, Jon Stewart also painted a fairly grim world picture on the Daily Show.
