Sydney Sweeney kicks off Stagecoach weekend with duet alongside Bailey Zimmerman as lingerie war heats up

Let’s kick off this Saturday morning with a report from this weekend’s Stagecoach Festival in California, where the Great Underwear Wars of 2026 will be held as Sydney Sweeney brings her SYRN brand to Coachella Valley territory to win the hearts of Gen Z.

According to social media reports about last night’s event, Victoria’s Secret executives better call an emergency marketing meeting on Monday morning because a big development has occurred. We know Sweeney has no problem attracting young men. So, will he be able to win the hearts and minds of women who will buy underwear?

Check out last night’s video of Sweeney being attacked by young women at his Stagecoach concert. These emotions are not staged. These young women see what we, those with brains, see; Sweeney is a cultural icon reviving the American Eagle and officially shaking up the underwear business.

As I wrote in Screencaps earlier this week, 23-year-old Livvy Dunne is currently collaborating with Sweeney, adding major credibility to Gen Z consumers. How Victoria’s Secret countered Sweeney in the battle for hearts and minds She went out and signed Angel Reese of the WNBA to model her bras and underwear.

Other highlights from Friday night at Stagecoach included Sweeney throwing her underwear into the crowd at the pop-up venue at SYRN and singing a duet with Bailey Zimmerman. Oh, Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis stopped by too Sweeney party.

2026 Screencaps polo HERE!

Are you kidding me? This is a polo you could wear to a five-star hotel or a dive bar that pays homage to the lawn mowing game. You can walk into the Four Seasons and look like a cool dad who sees the quirks of life, or you can wear it and be a totally decadent golfer who smashes 125 beers during a boys’ outing.

Wear this polo and transform your summer. Be versatile this summer. Be stylish, but still maintain some degenerate tendencies. https://shop.outkick.com/products/tnml-2026-polo-mowers

Meet the 2026 official Thursday Night Mower League polo featuring dad shoes, lawn mowers and beer cans. The most stylish polo you’ll wear all summer. Guaranteed. (OutKick / Thursday Night Mowing League)

– Adam W. from Nebraska asks a good question: Cutting the cord for 5 years with the TNML Label riding high on a 2005 #3 Craftsman push mower. What will your cordless lawnmower do in twenty-one mowing seasons???!. Cheers to the World’s Best Mowing League.

Let’s see how this situation will turn out for the Cleveland Browns, who have training facilities right in the middle of the neighborhood.

How would you feel if your neighbor, in this case Browns head coach Todd Monken, turned up the music for his minicamp and told you to move out if you didn’t like it? Is this a smart strategy on Todd’s part? Email: joe.kinsey@outkick.com

How are things going with AI drive-thru workers?

– Montgomery Lee in Tennessee writes: First, after a brief moment of anxiety (Boomers hate “new” things) I begin researching the new format. It’s much easier with my iPhone, which I’ve had since 2012. Anyway, I passed Wendy’s yesterday on my way to my grandchildren’s golf game. This was the only “food option” on the road. As I approached the transition screen I was immediately ATTACKED by the “AI thing”. My order was simple: double cheese, no pickles, no ketchup”. No drink, no fries, no ice. A dodgy burger! Well, the “AI” kept restarting three times halfway through my “order”. I finally yelled. Then a PERSON came up to the speaker and said he could take my order if I preferred. Hallelujah! He rolled over to the window and said: “From now on, JUST ASK FOR ONE HUMAN!!! Oh no, I won’t be back…never little lady!! Oh and shocker,…..my double came with pickles and ketchup. Oh, eat, eat!

Kinsey: On our Spring Break trip to Florida, Ms. Screencaps called La Quinta to confirm late check-in (friends, La Quintas down south are a great deal; call me cheap all you want) and had a full conversation with an AI agent. When he hung up the phone, we realized he was an artificial intelligence agent.

I hear what Montgomery Lee is saying, but AI is going to get better. You won’t be chatting up drug heads at the drive-thru any time soon. You’ll chat with Claude AI or whatever they call this technology.

Kirkland beer wins another award

– Beer Guy Thomas V. of NC sent the following news: Another World Beer Cup, another Kirkland victory. All winners https://cdn.worldbeercup.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/23075637/WBC26-Winners-List-2.pdf

Kinsey: That would be the hell of beer Costco starts selling in 2024. As I’ve written about and as long-time readers know, this beer is a much better HELLUVA than Kirkland Light, which is absolutely terrible. Seriously, I couldn’t give those beers away. I literally had to throw them in the trash. I wouldn’t even use it in a sausage pan.

Where do you put those velcro patches sent to the TNML mailbox?

– Tom E. of Clarksville, TN, who sent the patches, explains: Hi Joe, I watched your video in the mail you received. First of all, this is amazing, what a great community. These patches attach to backpacks, pack bags, weighted vests, luggage (easy to find your luggage at the airport). A ton of bags now come with Velcro. We have a former Army Ranger who works with us and he puts these in his backpack when he goes hiking.

My son and daughter have these in their backpacks for school. This is a reference to Theodore Roosevelt’s “Man in the Arena” speech, which I think will instantly resonate with you and your community. This is part of our culture in our business; We deeply believe that this speech is one of the greatest speeches of all time. It is a constant reminder of a time when people were brave and had the determination to face things even when the going got tough.

Tom E. explains where I should put these ARENA patches he sent to the Thursday Night Mowing League mailbox. (Screen caps / OutKick)

It’s been a long week. It’s been a tough week. It’s been a sleep deprived week, but part of that is because I’m trying to get through the Hulk Hogan Netflix series. The archival footage in this series is extraordinary. We’re also lucky to have a production team track down the Hulk in 2025 and talk to him for a documentary about his life.

If you get a chance, start watching. Other than that, it’s a cloudy and cool weekend in Ohio. These are the weekends when we do work that will prepare us for rest until the end of May. Now it’s time to get to work, cleaning the porches. Get the garage in order and clear your head because we’re entering the month of May next weekend.

Let’s go have a great weekend.
