What’s the worst thing you’ve ever eaten by accident?

June 2, 2022 | jnettlebeck

Life…is gross. We live in a cruel existence. We’re constantly consuming insects, rodent filth, and dirt, per the FDA, who claim that, “Young children will put almost anything in their mouths. A series of stool-sample surveys in the 1990s determined that the average child digests as much as 500 milligrams of soil—about a thimbleful—daily. That works out to a few ounces per year.”

The verdict of the Johnny Depp & Amber Heard defamation trial is in

June 1, 2022 | jnettlebeck

At last, our long national nightmare is over. No more cringeworthy speeches, no more TikTok edits, and no more TMI from our least favorite couple ever. A jury has found both Amber Heard and Johnny Depp liable for defamation in their lawsuits against each other. Per CNN, “The jury awarded Depp $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million dollars in punitive damages. The jury awarded Heard $2 million in compensatory damages and no money for punitive damages. Depp sought $50 million in damages and Heard sought $100 million. Punitive damages in the state of Virginia are capped at $350,000, so the judge reduced the punitive damages award to that amount.”

Do you think the fallout is fair? The conversation lives on Facebook!

Organized ice hockey fighting is a thing?! People love watching a good fight at a game but now you don’t even need to watch the goal-scoring and the puck passing- BORING!

Fan made bare-handed catch while holding two beers!

June 1, 2022 | jnettlebeck

A fan at an Angels game was walking back to his seat with two beers in hand when a fly ball headed his way. Instead of putting his beer down, or letting the ball go by him, he was able to catch the ball while still managing his alcohol. He’s the real pro here!

Toe-tapping songs are good for your brain!

May 31, 2022 | jnettlebeck

A study done in Japan found that toe-tapping, songs that you love are good for your brain! Specifically your pre-frontal cortex, the part that is related to your short-term memory, planning, self-control, and abstract thinking. The one catch is that it only works for songs that you know and love. A song that you’ve never heard won’t have this positive effect. So, put on your favorite your favorite song, and play it twice! It’s so nice!

May 31, 2022 | jnettlebeck

You probably remember your elementary school janitor as a smiling face, waving in the halls. These kids will have a different forever memory of their janitor friend. During their school talent show, he got up on stage and gave the performance of a lifetime to Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing” and blew everyone away! He keeps the school running well during the day and hits the karaoke bars at night!
