This guy gets a dose of instant karma while trying to scare a mouse
Instant karma is a beautiful thing, unless you are on the receiving end of it of course.
But we can enjoy this video of a guy getting a healthy serving of some instant karma and chuckle away.
It’s just a mouse guy!
(I would have the exact same reaction)
Gender reveal goes terribly wrong
This is what you get for having a stupid gender reveal party.

If you ever are thinking about having one of these dumb parties… Just remember this video.

This lady got her arm stuck in a donation bin for almost an hour
They say if you do good things good things happen to you… so what does this mean?
She must’ve had some really bad karma around her.
Yikes.
How’s your brain? Is your mental health okay?
Those of us who are blessed with depression or any mental health issues are really being tested at a time like now. Covid-19 threw a wrench in our mental game that we were not ready for. Even some of those with healthy and strong mental health have been affected lately by the change in daily routines, the economy, health and well-being. To add gasoline to the dumpster fire we have also all been working together and staying indoors to get rid of this awful virus which has clearly added more stress to our lives. I consider myself a home-body but damnit I need some freedom! I imagine every single one of us is ready to bust through our walls like the Kool-Aid man.
So how are you keeping your mental health strong? Have any suggestions or pointers?
Personally I am surprised by the strength of my mental health right now. I normally don’t do well with change and the last few months all of our lives have been impacted and have changed dramatically. I tend to pace my tiny apartment a lot, I’m averaging 19,000 steps a day. I think keeping my legs moving is helping me keep my mind off of things. Doing the show from a super small closet is insanely difficult for me. I am a ball of energy and even at 4AM I can’t hold still. Brian, has been doing an awesome job of letting me know when I have a few minutes so I can leave the closet, stretch my legs and get some fresh air. I have the coolest job in the world and would do if from a dog cage if that’s what it took but I do miss being in the studio.
I see a lot of support for people’s health and it’s awesome to see the world come together and show compassion for each other. But one thing I’m not seeing a lot of is support for mental health. Let’s do our part. If you know someone who is ‘blessed’ with mental health struggles, reach out! Say hi. FaceTime that person. See their smile, give them a smile!
We keep saying “we’re in this together” but let’s really be in this together by doing something.
Love ya’ll! I hope everyone is doing well and can’t wait to see everyone faces in person soon.
Air hugs!

Michael Jordan might be the GOAT of interviews
He may be considered to be the best on the court, but Michael Jordan could also be considered to be the GOAT of interviews.
Check out this interview he did on David Letterman back in the day.
Jordan’s got jokes!
Blue Angels and Thunder Birds perform flyovers for essential workers
This is awesome.
The Blue Angels are doing flyovers all across the country to show support to essential workers during these crazy times.
Usually you have to be a pro sports star to get one of these bad boys.
Really goes to show you how important all of the essential healthcare workers are!
Thank you so much!!
What you can watch on HBOMAX?
Yet another big streaming service is entering the video wars with Netlfix, Hulu, and Disney+ as Warner Media is launching HBOMAX next month. The new subscription service that will have a ton of content to lure in your eyes. Offering a ton of exclusive content from TBS, TNT, CNN, HBO, Warner Bros films, DC Comics, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, and big budget originals. It could be a fair challenge to the other video offerings but it does have the biggest price tag of the bigger streaming sequels at $15 a month. It will be available on May 27th.
The service also snagged South Park at a reported big price tag of more than $500 million, and dropped another fortune to get the rights to ‘Friends’ which was supposed to have a reunion special for the launch but that has been delayed. House of Dragons, a prequel series to Game of Thrones will also be produced, so prepare for freakouts from everyone you know who loved that show. Industry sources claim $5 billion will be invested in the platform over the course of the next five years, so they are definitely trying to shake up the game.
The DC Cinematic Universe has had some hits and some misses but you will be able to get see all of of it here including the recent Oscar nominated ‘Joker’ available on launch. HBOMAX will also featue every DCU movie along with a new series featuring Green Lantern and a half hour comedy with female DC characters all trying to get through teen life in high school.
Conan O’Brien who is in the fold with TBS, will produce comedy specials but somehow Elmo from Sesame Street will host a late night style talk show.
The panel at Fandom went even deeper and looked at how Harry Potter could be included in this exciting library.
‘Parks & Recreation’ returning for one episode only
It’s been streamed millions and millions of times on Netflix. It’s one of the most beloved TV comedies of the last 20 years, so thankfully we get one more episode next week.
‘Parks & Recreation’ ended it’s run on NBC a few years ago, but these uncertain COVID-19 times have sparked the fine civil servants of Pawnee, Indiana to reassemble for a special one-off episode on April 30th. Amy Poehler will join all of the original cast in an episode that they filmed in their homes separately with all of the Parks & Rec family finding different ways to deal with life in quarantined isolation.
Every episode of Parks & Rec will move to NBC’s streaming service Peacock in July.
Here is the official teaser.
Leslie Knope wants to let you in on a secret… On April 30, #ParksAndRec is returning to NBC for “A Parks and Recreation Special”. Our workplace proximity associates, along with our neighbors at @StateFarm, are raising money for @FeedingAmerica. Join us! https://t.co/YuyWBTYmrH pic.twitter.com/ZId6Lq3rkJ

Gronk throws shade at Tom Brady’s manhood
Football was not the same without Gronk, not just because of his talent on the field but because of the way he acted outside of football too.
Gronkowski was just traded to the Tampa Bay Bucs so he can play with his old team mate Tom Brady, and it sounds like based on this clip that things haven’t changed much.
It’s good to have Gronk back.

But what a great hiding spot! I bet no one found her until she called out for help.
Amazing, maybe one of the best to ever play the game.
Dear diary…
Dear diary…
Day 22 in the closet…damn today was a lot of fun. It’s so weird doing the show from my tiny closet. I have way to much energy to be caged up like one of Joe Exotic’s animals. Today I learned that it takes 7 minutes for my small closet to smell like my bad coffee breath.
I also learned that my closet is 52 knuckles wide. We should measure things by body parts more often. Everyone has body parts but who the f has a tape measure when they need one? Never! The only time you should even use a tape measure is when you need to be exact, other than that use steps, use your forearm, use knuckles, a leg..for now on its knuckles or nothing for me. – that’s stupid.
I licked coffee off the counter to save a paper towel. It was such a natural reaction, I’m a little disappointed in myself. I’m a monster.
From my window I can see people eating McDonald’s french fries and I’m noticing that only the weirdest of humans eat fries one at a time. Most people go for three fries at once. I respect that move.
Ohhhhhhhh who lives in a pineapple under the sea….

Coronavirus must end so Big Poppa can go play with his friends
Big Poppa loves playing with the neighbor kids around his apartment complex.
Except now due to social distancing, he can’t go see his friends. And it might be the saddest thing ever.
Big Poppa has been so sad today, I think he miss playing with the kids in the building. He just watches them from the patio pic.twitter.com/gVooqvZ5oI

See we have to find a vaccine now. We HAVE TO!!
Big Poppa won’t be a happy pupper until we do, and we can’t let that happen.
Stay happy and healthy, and don’t forget to pet your dog.
This dog stole some dentures and it might be the greatest thing ever
It is crazy to see what some animals will do to get that “perfect smile”.
Some will even resort to a life of crime. Taking innocent people’s teeth.
Don’t they know they already looked beautiful!
The perfect smile was within them the whole time.
Such a shame to see a good boy go bad. 🙁
