This happens to almost every household when you ask Dad for a pet. First he’ll say , NO!” Then he’ll give in after months of badgering. And finally, he’ll become so attached to the animal that every one else in the family will feel denied because Dad is now giving ALL of his love to the pet. Exhibit A:

At their show in Manchester, Brandon Flowers stopped the show to see if a 67-year-old crowd surfer who had been dropped was OK. He ran down to where the fans were and talked to the older man named, Billy. He told Flowers, “I’m enjoyin’ mi’ self!” The Killers kicked back into their set, but they’ll never forget ol’ Billy! Here he is below…
Starting pitcher for the Padres Joe Musgrove and Rockies pitcher Chad Kuhl used to play together for Pittsburgh. During a game, Joe began the game with a lower corner X (bad choice), and left it open for Chad to go up and play his turn. Watch!

An Alabama man has been found guilty and awaits sentencing for leaving flowers on his fiancée’s grave.
To be more specific, Winston Hagans was leaving a custom-made flower box and blooms — which was against city rules & considered litter.
It would have been okay with Auburn Parks & Rec officials if he had family approval — but tt was her father that signed the warrant for his arrest, admitting during the trial that he “did not approve” of the relationship.
The man was directed to pay $300 in fines and will avoid jailtime if he agrees to stop.
The perfect gift doesn’t exi…..
A River Cuomo-modeled, honest to goodness Chia Pet has appeared on the band’s official merch shop. As you may have noticed, it is modeled after the album cover for SZNZ: Spring, which was released this past spring — naturally.
It may look like a place to deposit your check or some sort of toll-collection device on the Jane Addams, but no — this is a futurist taco delivery device. Meet Defy, a one-of-a-kind concept restaurant that might change how you make a run for the border.
Instead of ONE drive-thru lane, there are FOUR — three devoted to mobile or delivery orders, in addition to the traditional one. It also features an elevated kitchen above the lanes. What you might notice is — zero places to sit inside. That’s gone.
So check out the only one in existence — Brooklyn Park, Minnesota. It might be the best idea they’ve had since turning the Mexican Pizza into a musical.
The Angels have not been good lately, and are willing to try anything to break the losing streak. Someone thought they should change their walk-up music… to all Nickelback songs on Wednesday night. Did it work?! No. Of course not, they suck! But it certainly is awesome watching a dude try to get the crowd hyped with “Photograph.” Laugh all you want, it’s more money in Nickelback’s pocket.
The Golden Nugget Pancake House closed Sunday after 52 years! The location at 4229 W. Irving Park Road was once a 24-hour restaurant, but due to fewer customers, and difficulty finding staff, the eatery closed Sunday. A note on the door let customers know what locations their favorite workers were moved to, but many will miss weekend breakfast there and having a place where everyone knew their name. There are still four remaining locations in the city: 2406 W. Diversey Ave., 3959 W. Diversey Ave., 3001 N. Central Ave. and 1765 W. Lawrence Ave.
The upcoming Tesla Cybertruck has an attachment you can buy to go glamping! It’s 23k and the design is out of this world, hence the name ‘Space Camper.’ It unfolds like a Swiss Army knife. Sleep, eat, and work all in the same space. It beats a tent! Check it out…
Some people have it all, like Justin Fields. He can dominate at Soldier Field in a Bears game, then he casually hits a homer in a batting practice at Wrigley. He played in high school, but decided to focus solely on football. It was probably the right move, but he can still hit!
A man pulled over the side of the road to rescue a cute, little, innocent kitten. Then he got more than he bargained for… They’re like Pokemon, catch them all! Watch!
I’ve been following the creation and progress of The Munsters, the movie, on Rob Zombie’s socials for a long time and we finally have a teaser trailer for the film, out this fall. It stars Jeff Daniel Phillips playing Herman Munster, Sheri Moon Zombie portraying Lily Munster, Daniel Roebuck as Grandpa, Jorge Garcia, Richard Brake, Catherine Schell, Sylvester McCoy and Cassandra Petersen (A.K.A. Elvira) who plays real estate agent Barbara Carr.
He says it will be family friendly. What do you think about the first look at The Munsters? <3 Lauren
He has pictures of his ex, everywhere! Does he belong to the streets?
Is he the jerk for not wanting to go to the baby shower that his wife is throwing for their baby? She certainly thinks he should go…
A question has been circulating on TikTok, “What is a secret about your industry that the general public would be shocked to know about.” A man who used to work in a shampoo factory said something that will change the way you buy shampoo, forever. Maybe you won’t be throwing down the extra $5 for the fancy stuff after you watch this… just sayin’!
It’s not easy being a young girl and having every media outlet and store telling you how you’re supposed to look. The fact is, girls start noticing these things around age 10 which is exactly how old this girl is in the video. After shopping for a bikini at Victoria’s Secret with friends, she didn’t feel confident and told her babysitter. Since her babysitter is an all-around bada$$ chick, she wrote a body positive song for her to make her feel better and it’s adorable!! Have a listen…
Obviously there’s a tiger in this photo. But can you find the hidden tiger in it? Most people can’t! In fact, only 1% get it immediately- are you that small fraction? This optical illusion is throwing people for a loop, but like most things, sometimes that easiest answer is right in front of your face! Try it!
Angel Alavardo trained for two years during quarantine to not only solve Rubik’s cubes quickly, but to also do it while juggling! Watch his mastery earn him a world record here! He completed three puzzles in 4 minutes, 31 seconds, all while juggling them the entire time. Whew!
