Our hearts go out to this man who recently took to TikTok to share a story about a horrific first date experience that he had.
We’re thinking this guy dodged a bullet.
Lie to your parents and tell them their favorite celebrity is dead
One of our favorite Internet trends is back in a big way. A TikTok trend took off last winter that saw young people tell their parents that their favorite celebrity was dead, even though they weren’t. That trend is back, and the results are hilarious.
In case anyone needed clarification, Eminem and Bon Jovi, among others, are still alive.
FedEx accused of rolling back odometers on delivery vehicles
A lawsuit claims they’ve been rolling back the odometers on their used delivery trucks, so they can sell them for more money. If true, it might be the largest odometer fraud scheme ever.
A new lawsuit accuses them of rolling back the odometers on thousands of old delivery trucks, and then selling them for more than they were worth. They used to scrap their trucks when they hit 350,000 miles. But according to a lawsuit says that around 2011, they created a new revenue stream and started selling them.
A commercial truck dealer in Nevada says he found out about it after he sold an old FedEx truck in 2017. The odometer said 180,000 miles. But when the seller hooked it up to a computer, it actually had over 400,000 miles on it. That is a massive difference.

The most Kentucky obituary ever
A Kentucky legend has gone viral in the afterlife after his buddy’s posted an incredible obituary after his untimely death.
Here’s how James Loveless’ obituary reads:
“As a gluttonous eater of fried foods and snack cakes, as well as the occasional chili cheese dog, James, tried in vain to give up the ghost by clogging his arteries and having a stroke in 2015. His twin boys, Rocky and Rodney, had other plans and made him go to the hospital. While waiting in the ER at the hospital, he was heard saying, “Let’s make a break for it!”, only to be heard by one of the hospital staff and forced to go through the procedure. He wasn’t too excited about the prospect, but went anyway.
“On many occasions in life, James was seen in his back yard at the trailer park during the early hours of the morning, hammering beers, standing over country-style ribs, and yelling, “It’s got a head like a cat on it!”, while nearby neighbors would peek out their windows bearing looks of disgust and amazement, as his party guests were slurring remarks about needing to speed up his cooking style. “We’ve been here since 5 o’clock,” they would say. “I’ve got work in the morning.“
“We don’t know if he was married, but he definitely was a lady’s man. There was Kathy, Mary Lou, Tammy, Debra, Carrie, Tina, etc., etc. “It’s the bones”, he told us as proudly pointed his skinny, pasty-white legs. “Women love a good shin”. We think he might even have some females waiting for him on the other side. Jamie loved his family more than anything else in the world…except ice-cold Busch, room-temperature Busch, T-bones, New York strip, prime rib, shrimp, swimming, poker, hatch-back Mustang GTs, tank-tops, Kentucky Men’s basketball, and his personal copy of Eddie Murphy’s Raw.
“He leaves behind his second-favorite son, Rocky(and Lizeth) Loveless of Arizona City, AZ, his favorite son, Rodney Loveless of Science Hill, KY, a younger brother, Joey, and unofficial daughter Melissa(and Coy) Vance of the trailer park, as well as a pair of old boxers which have ‘Buttweiser the King of Rears’ printed on the design. He will be moderately missed.”
We hope we can one day be remembered as such.
“YOU ARE NOT THE FATHER!”: Maury Povich launches line of at-home paternity tests
In one of the most genius celebrity endorsement deals ever, Maury Povich is now producing a line of at-home paternity tests.
Povich, who retired from his talk show last year, is now bringing the “The Results Are In” test to market. “I’ve been around paternity testing for more than 20 years, so I know exactly what’s going on and how we can help those people who are looking for fathers, fathers who are looking for children, fathers who don’t think they’re the fathers and fathers who think they’re the fathers,” Povich told TMZ.
The talk show host explained that the kits would be through DNA Diagnostics Center, the same company that ran tests with a “99.9%” accuracy rate on “Maury” for over two decades.

Dude dislocates shoulder while celebrating
Recently a man injured himself on the Price is Right when he dislocated his shoulder while celebrating a win.
Which got me thinking, what is the weirdest injury you have suffered and how did it happen? I blew out both of my knees while racing to catch a cab in Wrigley. A pivotal moment because it was the first injury that wasn’t “funny.” I hit the pavement so hard instead of giggling all of Clark Street went silent and showed much concern. The older you get the less funny it is to hurt yourself because of the possibility of hospital visits I presume… P.S. Henry is fine and won a trip to Hawaii <3 Lauren
Naperville “Forest Therapy” aims to take kids away from screens and get them into nature
A recent NBC 5 report has detailed the growing trend known as “forest therapy”, which is aimed at getting kids off of screens and into the wilderness. This charge is being led by The Conservation Foundation in Naperville.
The half-day camp on Macdonald Farm has helped children check in with how nature makes their bodies feel.
Is this not just “going outside”? Why does everything need a fancy name now?

WHERE ARE YOU?: Stepson of sailor lost at sea rocks out at Blink-182 show while tourist submarine remains missing
In one of the weirdest stories ever, the stepson of a sailor lost at sea has revealed himself to be a massive Blink-182 fan. Such a big fan, in fact, that he still showed up to a Blink-182 gig despite his stepfather being stranded at sea.
It would appear, judging from a later tweet, that the band did indeed give him hope and cheer him up.
As of now, no progress has been made on recovering the people lost at sea.
Jordan Love wishes Bears fans a Happy Father’s Day, implying that he is their son
Say what you will about Aaron Rodgers, but he at least knew that he owned the Bears. Years of dominating the Bears made him very comfortable with running his mouth against our squad. Jordan Love, on the other hand, still has a ways to go.
Love took to social media over the weekend to wish Bears fans a Happy Father’s Day.
This would imply that Love would be our…son? We’re his daddy? What’s going on here? How did he mess this up so bad? Why do we sort of miss Aaron Rodgers kicking our ass?
High school student denied diploma for dancing on stage
When did adults stop being fun?
A high school senior in Philadelphia was denied her diploma after she “hit the griddy” on stage at her high school graduation. Her principal, who is certainly giving Karen vibes, told her to hit the bricks after she busted a move. You can see the video below.
“I was so embarrassed. I couldn’t even enjoy the rest of the graduation,” said Hafsah Abdur-Rahman, the student in question. She continued, “If they thought that I shouldn’t do ‘The Griddy’ across the stage and do the Girls’ High traditions, nobody should have been able to wave or blow kisses or do period signs because I feel like that’s the same thing. I feel like that’s unfair.”
Who is in the wrong here? The conversation lives on Facebook!

Wrigley Field to sell beer-flavored pizza this summer
Wrigley Field is looking to get more adventurous with their food options this summer. Home Run Inn announced that they’re joined with the Cubs to create a “Beer Pizza” that will be sold at Wrigley Field during the rest of the 2023 season.
The pizza began being sold on Wednesday and will be at the ballpark throughout the summer. “A great beer and a great pizza are so often enjoyed together, we thought it would be fun to create that favorite taste all in one bite,” says Home Run Inn senior vice president Gina Bolger in a statement. “The Home Run Inn family of 75 years is excited to celebrate all things Chicago.”
