I hope this will reduce the actually absurd amount of "Betelgeuese is going supernova now" youtube spam.

Betelgeuse is my buddy. He helps me find junk science channels. When the thumbnail proclaims Betel has secretly gone Supernova, I go "do not recommend channel". Yellowstone likes the company.

The only thing more elusive than Betelgeuse’ partner is a joke from Anton, and we get both in one vid what an event!
