“I just got a new apartment and the building doesn’t allow animals so I bought a fake emotional support vest and certificate. Am I the jerk for that?”
Before you watch this, just a warning, you’ll probably feel old. A mom asks her daughter about things from her childhood and her daughter has no clue what any of them mean. It makes you realize how far we’ve come.. and again, how old we are!

A strongman, Steve Keeler, lifted over 286 pounds for over 8 seconds with just his middle finger. To put it in perspective, think of him carrying a couch with just that finger. The retail manager smashed a Guinness World Record by deadlifting last weekend. Watch him do it!
The mystery behind Travis Barker‘s ambulance ride to a local hospital has been revealed.
TMZ is reporting that the Blink-182 drummer was suffering from a bout of pancreatitis & “doctors believe it was triggered by a colonoscopy.”
Concern was raised after news outlets reported that he was rushed into a hospital. Later, Barker’s daughter posted a pic of her Dad in hospital bed with a caption that read “please say a prayer” — that has since been deleted.
But now we have some context behind this Tweet sent shortly before this whole episode went down — when he was likely doubled over in agonizing pain:
Get well soon, Travis!
This is the NSFW answer to that sound… what is that clapping noise???
Bartenders tend to know a lot about humans. They see the best and worst all in one night. This one can tell something about you though just based on your drink order! This is pretty spot on too! Watch!
Pro tennis player Jack Draper was trying to do an interview when nature called, for a bird. He got pooed on mid-interview by a bird flying overhead. So much for trying to be cool in front of the attractive broadcaster…
A truck carrying thousands of pounds of fireworks went up in flames Sunday night while the truck was caught in traffic, putting on quite the light show for everyone else stuck on the road at the time. KABOOM!!!
The Avalanche just won the Stanley Cup, and five minutes after getting it… they broke it. Well, not exactly a break but they did put a pretty big dent in it during an on the ice celebration. Watch everyone’s faces right before it happens, classic.

Two ladies in love recently found out that they’re… sisters?! Different moms, and the same dad. Or at least they could be. They haven’t gotten the DNA test done yet, but let’s assume that they are… would you keep dating your sibling if you were in L-O-V-E?
Watch this incredible putt at the US Senior Open! He meant to do that! It looks like something straight out of Happy Gilmore. Not everyone can hills like that…
This kid is telling his mom what he wants to be when he grows up and something gets lost in translation… He said he wanted to be a “jiggalo.” If you’re not thinking of the Insane Clown Posse, then jiggalo refers to a man that gets around. He didn’t mean either of those definitions though…

A Venezuelan women’s soccer game was stopped because of an adorable dog that made it’s way onto the field and wanted belly rubs. It’s hard to be mad at something so cute. He runs from player to player asking for pets before the refs shut it down.
A very loyal fast food employee got a pathetic thank you for 27 years of service and never missing a day of work. Kevin Ford received a bag of candy. The internet didn’t like it either and now a GoFundMe has been started for him and he has over $155,000! David Spade even donated $5k to him. Kevin hopes to put his grand kids through college, what a great dude!!

Steelers T.J. Watt, Minkah Fitzpatrick and Alex Highsmith were playing Pickleball when a grandma challenged them. They gladly accepted, but didn’t realize that she too was pretty athletic. She bragged to her family in photo that she beat some nice young men at the courts and her family quickly realized who they were…
