My boyfriend can’t stay off of Craigslist; does he belong to the streets?

A wife sent her husband to the store for something that doesn’t even exist!

April 21, 2022 | jnettlebeck

This wifey thought it would be hilarious to send her husband to the store for something that doesn’t even exist- heated tampons. A lot of guys won’t buy tampons for their lady, so kudos to him off the bat for putting his best effort forward. Hilarity ensues when gets back and he’s NOT amused. How can you not love this woman?!

@melissabeeler2
Isn’t he just the best?! Despite not being able to find heated tampons. 😂😂 #husbandandwife #marriagelife #husbandprank #couplesoftiktok #marriedlife #realmarriedlife #husbandprank #tamponprank #prankwars #HPSustainableSounds #reactions #husbandreactions #couplechallenge

Some of our popular words that we use every day were actually invented authors!

April 21, 2022 | jnettlebeck

Did you know that some of the words that we use every day were invented by authors? This will show some of the more common ones. Dr. Seuss and William Shakespeare gave use some. ‘Nerd’ was first seen in a Seuss book about a zoo. Shakespeare combined a lot of words but also made them into verbs too, like “elbow” to “elbowing.”

A college pitcher says “NOT TODAY” to a go-ahead homer and tackles the guy

April 21, 2022 | jnettlebeck

In a game between Weatherford College and North Central Texas, the pitcher Owen Woodward completely leveled Josh Phillips on the go-ahead homer. There was obviously beef there because Owen was heard yelling obscenities the whole way towards Phillips. Damn! That looked like it hurt!

This brave interviewer asked two hard questions back to back- what do you do and how much do you make?

April 21, 2022 | jnettlebeck

Hats off to this brave interviewer who asked, ‘what do you do?’ how much do you make?’ and ‘do you like it?’ all in one swoop! A lot of honest people here, but wait until the end for the perfect answer. That woman has it all figured out!

Does watching this video make your mouth water…

April 21, 2022 | jnettlebeck

You can just taste the sourness watching this poor girl trying to eat sour candy! You know it’s a fire TikTok when someone turns you into a meme. She has three. Does this make your mouth tingle too? Her face will have you laughing the rest of the day. It’s amazing what anticipation and muscle memory will do!

Netflix considers password sharing crackdown after big subscription, stock market losses

April 20, 2022 | Eric

Yesterday was a bad day for Netflix. It might get bad for the rest of us, too.

Netflix is considering cracking down on people who share passwords — making it a premium service, among other ideas — after the streaming company said they failed to gain subscribers for the first time in 10 years & ended up taking a 25% hit on their stock price.

Here is an alternative list of things that might have caused their numbers to fall, other than password sharing:

Competition. Meaning, we now have pay for 143 other streaming services — approximately 😉
Less programming. That new competition takes back all those those shows that used to be on Netflix.
The price. As in, a 50% increase in the standard subscription price over that 10 years period. With less show.

You tell me what’s going on. 🤷‍♂️

Netflix was innovative enough to do a massive shift from mailing DVDs to delivering that same content over the internet. Time to get innovative again?

You won’t believe the wedding rules this couple has made

April 20, 2022 | jnettlebeck

Kaytlyn Rosko and her fiancé Tyler went viral when their TikTok video showing off their wedding rules went viral. The video of the couple dancing, with Kaytlyn wearing a towel, with their rules flashing throughout. One rule is “no kids.” Another is no plus ones. They want you to know that there is a dress code and that there will not be any favors. It’s been viewed over 11 million times since they posted it. Being a wedding photographer herself, she’s been to a lot of weddings and knows that it’s her day. The one time she was at a wedding without kids she loved it. A lot of people disagree with these, but maybe we should be more open to some of the ideas.

This divorce lawyer says men should always pay on the first date

April 20, 2022 | jnettlebeck

This divorce lawyer says that men should always pay on the first date? His reasoning is different than you might think though. He says that when you reach for your wallet to pay, if they sit there and expect you to pay then you just learned something really important about them for the low cost of $30. And it could prevent from you from a lifetime of misery! Watch!

The Twenty One Pilots home is for sale!

April 20, 2022 | jnettlebeck

When Twenty One Pilots were filming their video for “Stressed Out” they used the home that Tyler Joseph grew up in. The second floor game room is featured in the video and has now been seen over 2.5 billion times on YouTube. The current owners Frank and Lisa are making sure to add this fact in their listing since they are now selling the home. I have a feeling someone who loves the band might buy the house!

You know you’re high when…

April 19, 2022 | jnettlebeck

This guy had the highest moment. He went to let his doggo out, then realized, he had no dog. That’s some good weed. Don’t judge him though, just think about the highest moment you’ve had. At least he realized it and still let the pup out. Sorry dude, dad’s higher than a kite!

Terry Bradshaw served up comedic gold on Family Feud

April 19, 2022 | jnettlebeck

Terry Bradshaw and family brought the house down on Family Feud! Bradshaw had Steve Harvey double over in laughs after his rant about his daughter’s boyfriend of three months not “being in the circle” yet. He told him he “doesn’t even have a foot on the line yet” and made him ride coach too! Keep trying future son-in-law! You’ll make it in someday, maybe.

A house for sale in Wisconsin has WAY too many words on the walls

April 19, 2022 | jnettlebeck

Sometimes houses take longer to sell because of the owner’s interior design taste. That’s why realtors “stage” a home to show it off without distracting you from the things that home has to offer. What is distracting is words on walls. Like, lots of them. Take this home in Wisconsin for example. The owners painted “welcome to pound town” right above their master bed. Interesting choice of décor is what you’re thinking. See the rest below.

He thought he was going to his friend’s surprise party-

April 19, 2022 | jnettlebeck

A guy told his wife that he’s not into surprise parties as he was walking to his “friend’s” surprise party. He told her, “never throw one for me.” And so she promised not to… but little did he know he was walking into his own surprise party. Son of A!
