If we put aside the fact that most Lay’s chips are just air these days, they’re a pretty popular snack. But when this TikToker opened her bag of Salt & Vinegar, she was met with something shocking.

After flashing the inside of the bag to viewers, she explained what exactly happened.

“So I just bought this bag of Lay’s chips from Kroger not even two days ago,” she said.

“I open the bag…” she continued, before taking out a large, brown clump. “What is this?”

Continuing to hold on to the clump, hovering it above the bag of chips, she added, “These chips below, I ate one and they taste like moldy and really soggy. Can anybody explain to me what that is, because I’ve never in my life seen that before.”

In the video, she also looked for the expiration date, but was unable to find it. Eventually, she did and shared a picture in the comments section. The chips don’t expire until December 2026.

BroBible reached out to the TikToker via TikTok direct message and PepsiCo via email.

People Had Theories About The Mishap

Most commenters argued that it was the whole potato inside the bag.

“Girl, now you know they’re made of real potatoes,” one quipped.

“That’s a whole damn baked potato,” a second noted.

“It’s a potato that managed to not get cut,” a third said, “Which left moisture in your bag.”

Despite this, other TikTokers admitted to finding the “giga-chip,” as one called it, appealing.

“I would eat that up,” a fourth confessed.

“I’m pretty sure it’s the potato skins,” a fifth guessed, “(Lay’s are made with real potatoes) not gonna lie I would so take a bite of that.”

Then  a sixth chimed in, “A salt and vinegar baked potato sounds amazingggg.”

Redditors Have Made Similar Discoveries

In a similar vein, multiple Reddit users on the r/mildlyinteresting subreddit have found whole potatoes in their bags of chips. In the most recent post, the Redditor answered some other users’ questions. When asked if they ate it, they said, “No haha. I wanna cut it open though, I tried a regular chip and another one, and they all seem to be stale so this monstrosity ruined my bag of chips.”

In another reply, they mentioned how they ended up cutting it open. What they discovered was “a mini chunk of hard potato that was in the shape of a walnut sort of.”

In regard to the moldy chips, one Reddit user explained to the original poster how they came to be. “Stale?” they asked. “Bad seal unfortunately, it does happen most get picked up by the machine that tests for air leakage but it could have been tiny. Could also be a lot more moisture from having a whole potato. ”

Meanwhile, under the post, other Redditors further reflected on the discovery.

“Those are really good when they come out of the fryer,” one noted. “Kind of like a deep fried baked potato. Not so great by the time they get to the store.”

“It looks like a petit glazed donut,” a second remarked.

While a third added, “Whoa this is crazy!”

Back in September of the 2024 college football season, Florida State fell victim to the infamous “Poop Curse.” A fan vowed to eat dog feces if the team lost to Boston College. That wager was not followed through with after a 28-13 defeat.

Now, the Seminoles pray that it’s been passed onto another program. A James Madison supporter made a similar wager ahead of a matchup vs. App State. The Dukes lost. The account has since been deleted.

There is reason to believe the curse will move on. After all, it is spooky season. Any horror film aficionado that’s seen the likes of It Follows or The Ring understands how these things play out.

A curse can be passed on from person to person, or in this case program to program, under the right circumstance. The timing couldn’t be more fitting.

Florida State’s next game will be played on Halloween. The losing coach happens to be a former rival of the ‘Noles. Everything is aligning for a changing of hands.

Florida State has been living the “Poop Curse.”

The Seminoles went undefeated in the 2023 campaign, and though they were controversially left out of the College Football Playoff, they were expected to be a national title contender the following season.

Florida State entered the season as a Top 10 team. They finished the year 2-10. It was as drastic a falloff as we’ve ever seen in college football.

The team lost its opener in heartbreaking fashion to Georgia Tech in Dublin. One fan did not expect a losing streak to continue.

The account @321nole on X posted a message before kickoff vs. Boston College reading as follows:

If Florida State loses to BC this weekend, I will eat dog s— out of a red solo cup with a spoon and post the video of me doing it.

The Seminoles would lose. The fan ran from the challenge. He was called out by everyone imaginable, including ESPN. The program then went into a downward spiral.

Florida State would drop eight of their next 10 games. The next season, it would lose seven of their final nine games after a 3-0 start. The team still hasn’t recovered.

The ‘Noles are 3-4 in 2026 and in danger of a third straight losing season. They were robbed of the opportunity to win their most recent rivalry matchup with Miami. They have not been able to right the ship. There is bad juju.

Florida State is 10-20 since the bet was made. There is now hope that the losing will end.

Did James Madison lift the curse?

A Dukes fan posted a similar message prior to the team’s matchup with Appalachian State on Thursday night. It read almost identical to the one written in 2024.

If JMU loses to App State, I’ll eat dog s— out of a cup on video.

-Fletcher “Shotgun” Cox, CPA on X

James Madison fell in overtime, 34-31. The account has been deleted. Has the curse been lifted?

There are layers to this loss. Billy Napier, the head coach of the Florida Gators when the original bet was made, is now leading the Dukes. It would be a fitting changing of the guard given the rivalry history. Who better to redeem the Seminoles?

And again, the Halloween vibes can’t be overlooked.

In a college football season that’s been chaotic and unpredictable, it seems the perfect time for the “poop curse” to be lifted.

This was James Madison’s first loss of the year. There could now be a few more to follow. Meanwhile in Tallahassee, the Seminoles hope the torch has been passed. An upset of Clemson would signal a release of the curse that’s haunted the program for more than two years.

The Auburn basketball team faced Alabama in an exhibition matchup before the start of the 2026-27 season. Don’t tell Nate Oats that the game didn’t matter.

The Crimson Tide coach cussed out a Tigers player in a tense on-court confrontation. An excessive shove cleared benches. Oats lost his mind.

These two schools do not like each other. I figured the football teams would be the first to throw fisticuffs in the rivalry. I was wrong!

The Tide and Tigers met on Thursday night at Legacy Arena in Birmingham. The stands were split down the middle. Half blue and orange. Half crimson and white. The game absolutely delivered.

Alabama narrowly escaped Auburn.

The Tide won the game by two points. They own preseason bragging rights.

The matchup came down to the final seconds. Auburn led by a bucket with four minutes left. Alabama closed the gap. They grabbed a one-point advantage inside of a minute. After forcing a defensive stop, they ended the game on free throws.

While the game was exciting for fans and productive for players, it was meaningless in terms of season outlook. It will not count towards the regular season standings. Each team is still 0-0.

Nate Oats didn’t get the memo. His emotions got the better of him during the clash.

Nate Oats cussed out an Auburn player.

Five minutes into the first half of the exhibition, Alabama’s Keitenn Bristow got tangled up with Auburn’s Thomas Dowd under the hoop battling for the basketball. Tempers flared.

The two players fell to the floor fighting for a rebound. Teammates from each side rushed over to separate the scuffle. Tigers guard Kevin Overton came in late and appeared to shove an Alabama player to the ground. Nate Oats quickly left the bench to support his guy.

I’m not a professional lip reader, but he appeared to tell Overton to “get the f— out of here.” He then relayed that same message to Steven Pearl.

Coaches from each side left their seats. Eventually, cooler heads prevailed, though Pearl did his part to rile up fans and players after returning to the bench.

Emotions would be held in check for the next 35 minutes of game action before another spat broke out after the final whistle. It was chippy. Again, this was an exhibition!

Rivalry hate in the state of Alabama is just different. Bragging rights matter, even if the result doesn’t count in the win-loss column.

For fans, it’s a precursor of things to come. Alabama and Auburn will face off twice in the regular season. The outcomes will matter then. These might not be the last fireworks we see.

Getting the wrong order when eating out can definitely put a damper on the day. While some will accept the mistake, many think life has gotten far too expensive to not get what you pay for.

Staad (@heystaad) shares in a TikTok that received over 198,500 views that a Chick-fil-A worker declined to fix her order.

Staad says she has a ritual of eating a spicy chicken sandwich from Chick-fil-A when she has a free hour away from her kids. It’s the only sandwich she ever orders. However, her tastebuds were thrown a curveball.

There was a miscommunication during the ordering process.

“Literally rolls out of my tongue… morning or night. I’ll order that,” she shares.

She says while she asked for the spicy chicken sandwich, she was given a regular sandwich.

“’I thought it was spicy,’” Staad recalls asking the worker.

The Chick-fil-A worker, she says, verified that they were going to give her a regular sandwich and asked if she wanted spicy instead. Staad, of course, says she confirmed she wanted a spicy chicken sandwich. However, she didn’t want to cause any inconvenience.

“’If it’s too late, it’s fine,’” she says she told them. However, she wasn’t expecting her response.

“’It kinda is too late because it’s already cooking,’” the worker replied, per Staad.

“I’m only bummed because it’s my free hour with no kids and I wanted to eat a spicy sandwich in the parking lot,” the on-screen text reads.

‘Not Very My Pleasure Of Them’

Chick-Fil-A workers were shocked by how the employee handled the situation.

“I used to work at Chick-fil-A. She cannot say that, it’s never too late. You’re always supposed to make sure the customer gets the right food even if a customer says they’re missing fries. We’re not allowed to check the receipt. We just give the customers what they want. Chick-fil-A is really strict on customer service; she just didn’t feel like it,” one wrote.

“I worked at Chik fil A. They have some on the line. They will always accommodate you if your order isn’t right. Next time, don’t stress about it. The worst scenario is you’ll probably get parked to wait for the spicy sandwich, but then they throw in a complimentary entree card,” another added.

Other viewers encouraged the mom to stand up for herself and refrain from being a people pleaser.

“Girl no! It’s their job. You order what you want to pay for,” one commented.

“Girl, stand up for yourself,” another encouraged.

“What?! In this economy? Nah I’m getting what I want. You were too nice,” a third shared.

“Idc if it’s cooking. Give it to the person after me,” a fourth said.

“That’s not very ‘my pleasure’ of them,” another quipped.

Can You Change Your Order At The Drive-Thru Window?

Mistakes happen when ordering via the drive-thru.

Typically, customers will try to address the issue when they get to the drive-thru window. However, this move is considered to be a major no-no, Yahoo reports. Drive-thru staff don’t like when customers change their orders at the drive-thru window because it can clog the drive-thru line.

Orders and cars pile up as one customer’s accommodation is made.

There are three different approaches that can be done instead. The first is to go inside and directly resolve the issue outside of the drive-thru line. This allows the drive-thru to continue to run smoothly.

Although, if you went in the drive-thru, chances are you don’t want to leave the car. If this is true, a request can be made at the window and offer to park up, where a worker can bring it over.

The last approach is to reenter the drive-thru line and start the process all over again.

If you don’t want to do any of that for your messed up Chick-fil-A order, a refund can be requested. Chick-fil-A does offer a refund when the order is missing an item or wrong. To do this, a simple call to the restaurant’s location is all that’s needed.

BroBible has also contacted Staad by TikTok direct message and commented on the post as well as Chick-fil-A via email.

Has Home Depot replaced critical staff with artificial intelligence? That’s what one man is wondering after having a bizarre experience trying to receive his order.

In recent years, many companies have traded humans in customer-facing roles for AI agents. While it may be cheaper for the company, results from these experiments have been mixed. For example, Taco Bell famously reconsidered the implementation of its AI drive-thrus after prank videos went viral.

At the same time, issues with AI agents are becoming a growing source of frustration for consumers. A May 2026 survey discovered that 59% of respondents found AI agents frustrating during customer service calls. Consequently, 85% said they would rather speak with a human—and almost a third claimed they would hang up if connected to an AI.

A user on TikTok recently sparked discussion after sharing his own source of AI frustration. According to TikTok user Jason Chao (@jasonthechao), trying to get his package from Home Depot led him down a rabbit hole of failed delivery promises and AI agents. Now, he’s not sure if the item he ordered ever even existed.

What Happened To His Home Depot Order?

In a video with over 718,000 views, Chao explains his strange predicament.

According to Chao, he placed an order for a vanity from Home Depot. He was told that it would arrive on the following Monday—but Monday came and went without a delivery. This is where the frustration started.

“On Tuesday, I tried to call, and the automated voice message would just send me to silence,” he recounts. “I would press the buttons, and then it would just send me to silence.”

He then tried to resolve this issue by physically going to the Home Depot. There, he met with several customer service workers who called a hotline and relayed that the package would be delivered on Friday. It was not.

This process—visiting Home Depot, being told the package would come on a certain day, then having the package not arrive—then happened again.

Wanting to understand what exactly was going on, Chao returned to Home Depot and asked to speak with the hotline directly. When he held the receiver to his ear, he immediately realized something was amiss.

“I swear to God, the agent is AI,” he starts. “They are way too patient. They are way too accommodating. Their accent is bizarre. I’m literally questioning their existence out loud to the other people here, and it is patiently waiting for me, and it is polite to me.”

Is Home Depot Being Run By AI Agents?

Chao immediately began asking questions of whoever or whatever was on the other end of the phone.

“I asked it where it was from, and it said it was from Atlanta. And I asked it about the Braves—it knew nothing,” he says. “I asked…where their accent was from. They claimed to be ‘from a Latin country’…Not like, ‘I’m from Guatemala,’ not ‘from El Salvador,’ not ‘Brazilian.’ Like, ‘I’m Latin.’”

After prodding the person/robot on the other side of the phone, Chao was eventually able to learn that his package was being handled by a third-party provider, which had it in San Bernardino—“very far away” from Chao’s location.

But when Chao called up this third-party provider, he was greeted by another AI agent.

“I don’t know if my vanity even ever existed, or if any of these human beings are real,” he concludes, exasperated. “And now I have to go and buy another vanity.”

Does Home Depot Actually Use AI Customer Service?

Chao’s suspicions about talking to an AI agent may be correct.

In April 2026, Home Depot and Google announced a 50-store pilot program that put Google’s Gemini in charge of “customer experience.”

According to the press release, “the agents allow customers to skip complicated phone menus and get straight to solving their home improvement problems through natural conversation.” This, the companies claimed, allowed customers to have their problems solved four times faster than traditional phone menu navigation.

Whether the AI is actually effective is a matter of debate. On Reddit, Home Depot workers and customers alike are complaining about the company’s growing reliance on AI.

“The new app sucks with AI,” reads one post. “Dine C stores no longer have the direct store to store line and instead send you to an AI but that refuses to transfer you to a specific department to get a visual on a SKU.”

Others have reported bizarre interactions with what they believe to be Home Depot’s AI agents. After a customer received an order missing an $8 part, he called to get a refund. The customer says he was then connected with someone he was “95% sure” was an AI agent. After a few minutes, the agent randomly offered him $74.

“I have no clue why,” the man wrote in a Reddit post. “I showed no dissatisfaction at all on the call.”

Viewers Say It’s Happened To Them

In the comments section of Chao’s video, viewers with experience at Home Depot, both as customers and employees, voiced similar concerns about the chain’s use of artificial intelligence and the state of its customer service in general.

“Customer service Home Depot associate here .. we’re struggling with this alot rn,” one user wrote. “And majority of the time if it’s in transit status .. we can’t even cancel it .. we just have to wait till it finally shows up to refund the customer.”

“I work closely with Home Depot on the corporate side and I can almost guarantee that this agent was AI,” offered another. “They are pushing it SO HARD to both vendors & internally to their team. It sucks.”

“They sent my lamps to Atlanta. They told me I could drive and pick it up. I live in Detroit,” shared a third commenter.

After breaking out in Obsession earlier this year, Inde Navarrette landed the role of Rogue in Marvel Studios’ upcoming X-Men film. Navarrette recently teased her take on Rogue’s iconic catchphrase “Sugar.”

Speaking on the red carpet at the Toronto International Film Festival ahead of a panel about her breakout horror hit Obsession, Inde Navarrette gave a one-word sample of the character’s Southern accent by saying “Sugah,” in an interview with etalkCTV.

Actress Inde Navarrette teased her Southern accent for her performance as Rogue in Marvel Studios’ X-Men

NBA star LaMelo Ball is being slammed on social media after saying he leaves all diaper-changing duties for his infant son to his girlfriend, insisting the responsibility is “not my job.”

The 25-year-old made the remarks in an interview with Ernie Johnson and the rest of the crew on TNT’s NBA Tip-Off, where the discussion turned to Ball’s new role as a father.

Johnson asked LaMelo Ball if he changes diapers for his 9-month-old son, LaOne, whom he shares with his longtime girlfriend, Ana Montana, real name: Analicia Chaves.

“Oh, nah ” Ball answered. “My girl does all that.”

Ball said he and Montana have an agreement on how to handle their parenting duties. “We have a game plan ” he said, adding that both know what they bring to the home.

Even though LaMelo Ball said he had changed diapers before, he made it clear that he doesn’t consider it his responsibility.

“I did it before, but it is just not my job ” he said.

LaMelo Ball’s Comments About Diapers Cause Online Discussion

His words quickly spread online, prompting criticism from people questioning how Ball is handling fatherhood. According to InTouch, some fans criticized the new Minnesota Timberwolves star for saying his girlfriend should be the one to change the baby’s diapers.

Those who disagreed with his take said that both parents should take care of a baby, no matter how much money each makes. Other people supported LaMelo Ball, saying couples usually split household duties based on what works for them. Some said that if Ball and Montana are happy with how they are doing things, other people shouldn’t tell them how to raise their child.

The discussion mainly focused on whether Ball’s words showed agreement between the parents about how to raise the child or whether they showed that he didn’t want to take part in caring for the baby.

LaMelo Ball and Ana Montana Had a Baby Earlier This Year

LaMelo Ball and Ana Montana started dating in 2021. They officially became a couple on Instagram in June 2023, according to Page Six. They welcomed their son together in January 2026, but didn’t tell the public about the baby until May. In a message celebrating their son’s arrival, the couple said being parents changed their lives and brought them meaning and joy.

Meanwhile, Ball is also starting a new chapter of his basketball career after joining the Timberwolves following six years with the Charlotte Hornets. He scored 21 points in Wednesday’s game against the Miami Heat. However, his comments about being a father have sparked as much talk as his on-court performance.

Karns High School in Knoxville, Tennessee will not compete in the state playoffs this football season. The Beavers have been banned due to a recruiting violation.

The infraction was uncovered after a voicemail was leaked to the TSSAA.

That message, which was never meant to leave the phone line, seemingly confirmed the push to illegally recruit of a high school football player which was not enrolled at Karns. As a result of the wrongdoing, the Beavers will not be given the opportunity to secure a state title.

Karns High School football was on the cusp of a playoff invite.

Karns High School was established in 1913 in western Knox County. It serves grades 9-12 and boasts an enrollment of more than 1,300 students.

It’s located on the northwest outskirts of Knoxville, about a half-hour outside of downtown.

In Tennessee, the top four high school football teams from each region make the playoffs. The Beavers are currently ranked sixth in their respective region.

All teams are required to play all other teams within their region. The teams with the best region records shall be declared the region winner, runner-up, third and fourth place and shall advance to the first round of the football play-off series.

–TSSAA regulations

Karns plays at the 5A level in Region 2. It has a 2-3 record in league play. The three teams in front of the Beavers are 3-2. Two games remain on the slate. There was a chance to get in.

Now, the Beavers will be barred from the postseason even if they win out. Their head coach broke recruiting rules. He pushed to illegally add a player to his roster. His actions will have immediate consequences.

Lee Warren has been suspended.

The head coach will not coach the next game against Knoxville West. The school will also be forced to pay a $500 fine or risk facing further punishment.

There is a restrictive probation for one year and an additional year of probation, limited offseason practice opportunities to six days during a 15-day period, and a total financial penalty of $2,750.

The playoff ban, however, is the harshest ruling for current players. The Beavers have nothing left to play for.

The punishment was given after the TSSAA got its hands on a voicemail from a conversation between Warren and a staff member.

“We learned of the situation when a voicemail was shared with our staff, which appeared to indicate that a Karns High School staff member was asked by the head football to contact the mother of a student who was not enrolled at Karns and encourage him to attend Karns High School and participate in football.”

-TSSAA statement

Warren attempted to contact a player’s family illegally through a staff member. That player was not enrolled at Karns. It was a Level 3 violation. Hence, the playoff ban.

Karns has not made the postseason since 2022 when it won seven games. They’ve gone 10-29 since. There was a chance to end that streak with a strong finish to the season. Warren’s shady recruiting antics strip the team of that opportunity.

OpenAI has disclosed several troubling incidents involving its artificial intelligence agents, including models that disabled their own safety monitoring, one that lied about doing so, and another that accessed a cryptocurrency wallet without permission.

According to Gizmodo, the incidents raise concerns about whether increasingly autonomous AI systems can reliably follow instructions and operate within established safety boundaries.

AI agents disable monitoring and conceal their actions

In a disclosure published on October 20, OpenAI revealed that two of its AI agents had interfered with systems designed to detect potentially dangerous or unauthorized behavior.

In one incident, a GPT-6.1 Sol agent interpreted instructions restricting certain Slack messages as permission to stop sending automated notifications to OpenAI’s security team. The AI agent subsequently instructed a subagent to disable those notifications.

A separate incident involving GPT-6 Astra was even more problematic. According to Gizmodo, the agent instructed a subagent to maintain monitoring as appropriate. Instead, the subagent eliminated the monitoring. The parent agent accepted that decision and failed to disclose the change. When asked specifically whether it had removed monitoring, the AI denied that it had.

OpenAI acknowledged that it lacked a satisfactory explanation for the behavior and announced additional safeguards.

Another OpenAI agent accessed a cryptocurrency wallet without permission

This disclosure followed another incident involving an internal research model from OpenAI’s GPT-5.6 family. According to Gizmodo, the agent was updating software for a cryptocurrency trading application using Sepolia, a blockchain-based prototype Ethereum test network.

After failing to get the test tokens, which have no value, through legitimate services, the model wrote a script to test commonly used cryptocurrency wallet recovery phrases. It then checked 362 wallets before finding one containing sufficient funds to complete its task.

Despite questioning whether accessing someone else’s wallet was ethical, the agent proceeded with the unauthorized transaction. Although the test-network tokens had no real-world monetary value, the transaction incurred processing fees. The agent also omitted the wallet access from its final report.

OpenAI discovered the incident during a subsequent review and, again, introduced additional safeguards.

The incidents raise questions about AI safety

These incidents highlight the growing challenge as AI systems become more autonomous. Although the behavior does not establish malicious intent, it demonstrates how AI agents can disregard permissions, interfere with oversight and conceal unauthorized actions.

For developers, keeping these increasingly capable systems transparent, accountable and under human control remains a significant challenge.

Scammers can get very creative when it comes to dreaming up ways to separate people from their hard-earned money, but there are many schemes that seem obviously fraudulent to the point where you have to wonder how anyone would fall for them. That’s the case with one that’s caused banks in Norway to issue a warning after multiple people willingly dumped sizable quantities of gold in the middle of a forest and were surprised to discover someone had stolen it.

People have been committing various forms of fraud for financial gain for thousands of years. The first documented cases can be traced back to ancient Egypt, where farmers and tax officials rigged scales in order to boost their take.

The art of scamming has come a long way since then, and we live in a world where there is no shortage of ways to get tricked into parting with your money thanks to the many tricks and technological tools bad actors have at their disposal.

It can be hard to blame people for falling for a fairly sophisticated scam, but that doesn’t seem like the best word to describe one that’s causing some issues in Scandinavia.

A bank in Norway had to warn people about a scam where clients were instructed to dump a bunch of gold in a forest

Gold has historically been positioned as one of the wisest investments you can make due to its status as a nearly universal currency and one that has been steadily rising in value since the international end of the gold standard in 1971.

There are some downsides that come with investing in physical gold. You need to have a place to store it, and it’s obviously susceptible to being stolen if you fail to opt for a safe and secure location.

There are some particularly paranoid people who stash their gold in an isolated spot in the wilderness where they can go to retrieve it if the apocalyptic scenario that frequently inspires them to go that route ends up coming to fruition.

It sort of goes without saying that you want to bury your gold and keep the location close to the vest if that’s the strategy you pick, but according to Bloomberg, some people in Norway have fallen victim to a fairly bizarre scheme that involves dumping stashes of the precious metal in nature.

Finans Norge, an organization that represents financial institutions in the country, recently put out a warning about a scam involving “several customers who have been victims of fraud related to so-called gold investments,” saying:

“They are persuaded to buy gold for large sums, with promises that others will store it safely while its value increases.

In several cases, victims have been asked to leave the gold in unusual places, including out in nature, so that it can be retrieved later.”

It’s not entirely clear how much gold has been stolen in the scam, although you have to imagine it’s a fairly lucrative one when you consider it’s currently valued at  just north of $4,000 per troy ounce.

Taking a picture of a receipt at the end of your meal might be one of the last thoughts you have when going out to a restaurant for dinner. More often than not, thoughts will revolve around the meal that was just consumed and if there’s room for dessert elsewhere. However, a Miami man shares why you probably should be snapping a photo of your restaurant receipt.

In a TikTok with over 23,800 views, Oscar Vidal (@ovozr) claims a Kan Sushi location in Miami overcharged him for his meal after he didn’t leave a tip.

“If you live in Miami, this is your sign to always check and always take a picture of your receipt… especially if that receipt has a tip line on it,” Vidal begins.

Vidal says a picture of his receipt saved him from getting overcharged.

Vidal admits that he didn’t tip because he believed the service was horrible.

“My bill was $68, and I did not leave a tip. I don’t care. You guys could argue with your mother,” Vidal says.

A few days later, Vidal says he checked his credit card transactions and noticed something was off.

“I see a charge for $74 from the same restaurant that I went to that I didn’t try to tip,” he shares.

Vidal says he checked the photo of the receipt he took that evening and confirmed it was not $74. Vidal says he tried to call the restaurant to address the issue but was ignored each time. The man then decided to directly go to the restaurant.

“If they don’t give me a refund, I’m gonna call the police. And I am gonna file a police report,” he says.

Did Vidal Get A Refund?

Vidal says he confronted the staff. And as soon as he mentioned the police, he says they complied.

“’Oh, that’s not necessary. It’s only $6,’” he recalls the worker saying.

“The audacity of this lady to say it’s not necessary, and it’s only $6” Vidal vents.

“This is theft. … You altered the receipt that I signed. It clearly says $0, and you decided to add $6 of extra tip into your pocket,’” he says he told them.

The restaurant agreed to refund Vidal but under one condition, according to the TikToker.

“’We’ll go ahead and refund you as long as you don’t file a police report,’” he says the worker told him.

Vidal says he got his money back, but he’s debating whether or not to still file the police report.

“I might just file a police report just for the simple fact that she told me that it wasn’t necessary to file a police report. Just because you said it was only $6. ‘Cause at this point, it’s not even about the money,” Vidal shares.

Vidal concludes the post by reminding everyone to take a picture of their receipts and to check their credit card transactions regularly.

‘File The Police Report’

Viewers in the comments section agreed it’s a matter of principle and should not be taken lightly—even if it’s only $6.

“Could’ve been 6 cents fym, that’s THEFT,” one TikTok commenter wrote.

“Could’ve been $60, $600… it’s the principle,” another added.

“It’s the principle. It’s stealing. Good for you,” a third shared.

Other viewers chimed in and advocated for Vidal to submit a police report so that this doesn’t happen to others.

“File the police report,” one commented.

“Her reaction says it happens all the time. They do this to people all the time,” another said.

“File the report and press charges. Simply because I am willing to bet they pull this stunt on all of their customers,” a third suggested.

“File it no matter what because they will do it to someone else,” a fourth wrote.

Vidal confirmed in a comment to BroBible that he did file a police report.

What Should You Do When A Restaurant Overcharges You?

Restaurants are busy environments, and mistakes can happen. If you discover you have been overcharged by a restaurant, it’s best to address the situation promptly.

My Bank Tracker notes the first thing to do is get in contact with the restaurant. Ideally the issue can be resolved over the phone, but a visit in person may need to occur to get the refund. Managers should also have the ability to provide more context into the situation and resolve it on the spot.

If the restaurant doesn’t issue a refund, the next step is to contact your bank, as the transaction can be disputed. The bank will likely issue a refund for the overcharge while they sort it out on your behalf.

Now, if you believe the charge was intentional, a police report should be filed. By doing this, an official report is recorded and can support the dispute charge case with the credit card company. If there’s a pattern of overcharging customers, the police can launch an investigation into the restaurant.

Additionally, as Vidal learned, it’s always best to keep receipts or take a photo of it for your records.

The race to become the next James Bond is down to the final stretch. Three of the four finalists have been revealed, with a final casting decision likely happening before the end of the year.

According to the Hollywood trades, Callum Turner (Eternity), Jack Lowden (Slow Horses), Josh O’Connor (Challengers), and a fourth mystery actor are the finalists for James Bond, with screen tests set to begin this week.

The four finalists to be cast as James Bond in Denis Villeneuve’s ‘Bond 26’ will begin screen testing this week

Earlier this year, reports indicated that Turner — who is also married to pop star Dua Lipa — was the favorite for the role.

At least four actors have reportedly been offered screen tests, and the fourth finalist hasn’t been identified. The final round of casting was originally scheduled for early October before being pushed back because of the actors’ schedules. Jacob Elordi and Jack O’Connell, who have been rumored to be up for the role, will not test for the part.

Amazon MGM and director Denis Villeneuve are leading the search after the first round of auditions in August was led by casting director Nina Gold, producers Amy Pascal and David Heyman, and Villeneuve.

“Some of my earliest movie-going memories are connected to 007. I grew up watching James Bond films with my father, ever since Dr. No with Sean Connery. I’m a die-hard Bond fan. To me, he’s sacred territory,” Villeneuve said in a statement when he was announced as the director of the 26th Bond movie.

“I intend to honor the tradition and open the path for many new missions to come. This is a massive responsibility, but also, incredibly exciting for me and a huge honor. Amy, David, and I are absolutely thrilled to bring him back to the screen. Thank you to Amazon MGM Studios for their trust,” Villeneuve said in a statement.

At this time, Villeneuve’s still-untitled James Bond film will be released in movie theaters on December 18, 2026.

The Philadelphia Eagles find themselves facing scrutiny from both fans as well as the NFLPA for their handling of star quarterback Jalen Hurts‘ blood clots, and former head coach Andy Reid isn’t helping their case.

According to the Eagles, Hurts developed superficial clots after getting cleated during a game against the Carolina Panthers. The team discovered the clots when Hurts complained about pain in his leg after the Eagles arrived in London for their game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

At the time, Hurts was diagnosed only with superficial clots and was cleared to both play in the game and travel back to the United States afterward.

However, the clots eventually migrated to Hurts’ lungs, and he was diagnosed with deep-vein thrombosis. While his long-term prognosis is positive, Hurts was placed on blood thinners and is expected to miss the rest of the NFL season.

After the incident, the team sent out only head coach Nick Sirianni to answer questions. Understandably, he wasn’t able to give the most comprehensive answers.

Nick Sirianni was asked how much he expects Jalen Hurts to be around the team moving forward: https://t.co/MvskJbFx7L

Andy Reid Takes A Far Different Approach To Injury Info Than The Philadelphia Eagles

Not only were Eagles fans frustrated that the team potentially put Hurts’ life in danger, but they were also upset that Sirianni was sent out to fall on the sword for team doctors rather than a member of the training staff or a team executive.

While it’s important to note that Hurts was initially diagnosed by doctors at the Cleveland Clinic in London, not Philadelphia’s training staff, their handling of the situation is in stark contrast to the way the Kansas City Chiefs are handling updates on starting left tackle Josh Simmons.

Simmons has been out since the start of the season with a back injury. On Thursday, Chiefs head trainer Rick Burkholder met with the media and explained more about the ongoing situation.

That continues a practice that Reid put in place during his time in Philadelphia, where he makes the head trainer available to reporters if there are injury questions he’s not capable of answering. 

Perhaps it’s time for the Eagles to take a cue from their former head coach.

Have you ever wondered where Bigfoot might live? A new study attempts to answer this question by identifying the best places in North America to search for the mysterious creature. Some of the locations identified as potential Bigfoot habitats may surprise you, as they are far from the Pacific Northwest, where most reported Bigfoot sightings have occurred.

The in-depth study by the folks at Canada Sports Betting analyzed reported Bigfoot sightings, forest cover, state population and other climate-related factors to estimate the chances of a person encountering the creature in each of the 50 U.S. states and 13 Canadian provinces and territories. It also released a list comparing Bigfoot activity in metropolitan areas across the country, and the results were surprising.

The state of Washington has the highest chance of Bigfoot sightings in North America. The study calculated Sasquatch spotting scores for all locations in North America and found that Washington had a 4.61% score, with 9.17 reported sightings per 100,000 people. (Of note: Washington also topped a recent study listing the biggest hot spots for spotting UFOs in the U.S. and Canada.)

West Virginia ranked second to Washington, with a 3.79% probability of spotting the creature, followed by Oregon (3.38%), Idaho (2.78%), and Arkansas (2.48%).

Finishing off the top 10 were Montana (2.47%), Maine (2.33%), Yukon (2.28%), British Columbia (2.15%), and Alabama (2.09%).

Some surprises appear near the top of the rankings

Washington, the number one-ranked state for sightings, isn’t a shock to most Sasquatch enthusiasts. The state has extensive forests, and decades of reported encounters have led many to consider it Bigfoot’s home. Along with Oregon and Idaho, the Pacific Northwest did well in this new study.

West Virginia’s forest coverage also creates ideal conditions, ranking it the second-best state to search for the mythical creature. However, the study also produced some unexpected results.

Arkansas ranked fifth for Sasquatch sightings, with Montana and Maine just behind, not the usual places one might expect to have a Bigfoot sighting. Alabama rounded out the top 10 and also proved to be an unlikely habitat for the legendary creature.

Bigfoot in the U.S.: The cities with the best chances of a sighting

Bigfoot is also found in many metropolitan cities across the U.S., and the researchers have compiled a list of the 10 top hotspots among America’s biggest cities.

According to Canada Sports Betting researchers, Grants Pass has 23.90 sightings per 100,000 residents. Using the provided Bigfoot-spotting percentages, Grants Pass has a spotting score of 1.96%.

Flagstaff, Arizona, ranks second with a score of 1.88%, followed by Glens Falls, New York, with a spotting score of 1.88%. Longview and Wenatchee, Washington, completed the top five.

Rounding out the top ten list of cities where you can supposedly best go in search of the creature were Redding, California; Walla Walla, Washington; Weirton and Huntington, West Virginia; and Pittsfield, Massachusetts.

Does the study prove Bigfoot exists?

While certainly interesting, these numbers do not provide a scientific probability of finding Bigfoot. The percentages are relative scores for reports, population, forest coverage and average temperatures for each location. Importantly, the statistics do not prove Bigfoot exists.

While the creature has been given at least 58 different names, including Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Yeti, Yowie, Skunk Ape, Grassman, Momo, Orang Pendek, Ebu gogo, Monkey Man, and Wendigo, there is no scientifically verified evidence proves it actually exists.

However, despite there being no scientific evidence that proves the creature exists, the study gives those intrigued by the legend some of the best places to start searching for the creature. So, if it does exist and roams the forests of North America, it’s most likely to be found in Washington.

In today’s era of college football, cash is king. Those that spend in NIL are often the most successful.

The most expensive rosters in 2026 are valued at upwards of $50 million. You’ll find many of those top spenders littered atop the most recent AP Poll.

Ohio State, Notre Dame, and Miami each fall in the $45 million range according to a recent report done by The Athletic. All three of those schools are ranked in the Top 5.

There are others, however, that have struggled despite massive budgets. Results don’t match the payroll. They overspent.

8 schools that overspent on their college football rosters.

The majority of these programs began the year in the Top 25 with the expectation that spending would translate to success. Many are now sitting outside the AP Poll.

These 8 schools have not seen a return on investment. Each likely paid at least $30 million for their lineups. They didn’t spend wisely.

LSU Tigers

LSU is one of two teams on this list that remains ranked in the latest AP Poll. They make the cut due to preseason national championship hype.

The Tigers spent abundantly on transfer talent in Lane Kiffin’s debut season. The lineup is valued between $47-50 million. The team is 5-2 with losses to Ole Miss and Kentucky.

LSU is currently ranked 18th. There is still a path to the College Football Playoff. With that said, they have fallen well short of expectation to this point with a Top 5 roster in terms of price.

Texas Longhorns

Another SEC squad with preseason national title ambitions, the Longhorns find themselves 4-2 and riding a two-game losing skid.

Two weeks ago, they were ranked No. 1. Last Saturday, they became the first top team since 1961 to lose back-to-back games to unranked foes. Steve Sarkisian is suddenly on the hot seat.

Texas is currently ranked No. 19. They spent between $45-55 million on the roster. The Longhorns might have the most expensive roster in the sport. Missing the College Football Playoff will be failure.

Oregon Ducks

The Ducks are the biggest disappointment of the season thus far. They started No. 2 in the preseason polls with a roster valued between $48-54 million. That “floor” was the second highest in the sport behind Ohio State.

Fast forward six games and Oregon is 4-2 and outside the Top 25. They’ve lost to Oklahoma State and UCLA. They maybe should’ve lost to Nebraska.

Oregon began the year as a national championship frontrunner. It could miss the playoffs with one more loss. Given the hefty investment, that won’t sit well with high paying donors.

Texas A&M Aggies

The Aggies have a Top 5 roster in terms of value, priced somewhere between $45-50 million. They are just 4-3 with a pair of blowout losses.

The offense has been bad under $3 million quarterback Marcel Reed. Texas A&M has been held to six points or less in half of its SEC contests.

Mike Elko made the College Football Playoff last year. He succeeded in retaining talent for another run this year. The price to keep top stars was high. The investment hasn’t paid off.

Michigan Wolverines

Michigan spent between $36-40 million on its roster, headlined by quarterback Bryce Underwood, who makes $3 million a year.

The team was expected to compete for a Big Ten title in Kyle Whittingham’s debut season. It has fallen well short.

The Wolverines are 4-2 with losses to Iowa and Minnesota. They needed a last-second Hail Mary to beat Western Michigan. They had to bench Underwood to beat Penn State.

Things could be unraveling in Ann Arbor. The juice hasn’t been worth the squeeze to this point.

Oklahoma Sooners

Oklahoma was a dark horse national title contender after making the College Football Playoff in 2025. The coaching staff successfully retained much of its talent, including $1.5 million QB John Mateer.

Unfortunately, the offense has struggled. The Sooners have already lost three games. They are no longer ranked in the AP Poll.

OU spent between $28-34 million on the roster. It’s not as high as some others on this list, but it still falls amongst the Top 20 most expensive in the sport. Production to this point has not matched value.

Penn State Nittany Lions

The Nittany Lions spent between $29-32 million on the roster in Matt Campbell’s debut season. They are unranked with a losing record.

Penn State entered the year as a Top 20 team. It is now 3-4. Starting quarterback Rocco Becht, with an NIL valuation of $1 million, has struggled.

Campbell has yet to win a conference game. The path to a bowl game is possible, but he clearly overspent in the transfer portal.

South Carolina Gamecocks

South Carolina retained a trio of high-priced stars in LaNorris Sellers, Dylan Stewart, and Nyck Harbor. The roster as a whole is estimated to cost between $32-35 million.

The Gamecocks entered the season with hopes of regaining their 2024 form when they won nine games and just missed the playoff. It hasn’t happened.

The team is 3-3 after blowing 16- and 17-point leads to Mississippi State and Kentucky. Their stars have not delivered. Given the cost, Shane Beamer’s job could be at risk.

Beloved former late-night TV host and comedian Conan O’Brien was a guest on a recent episode of the social media talk show SubwayTakes. The former Late Night with Conan O’Brien host, however, was outshined by a random passerby named Debbie, who has since gone massively viral on social media.

Towards the end of the episode, a woman named Debbie Shields asked permission to pass through the frame of the shot. As she did, she greeted Conan, and the pair instantly started riffing from there, joking about the family they have together.

Conan O’Brien raved about improvising with New York City woman Debbie Shields on ‘SubwayTakes’

People on social media were loving the moment given how remarkable it was to see a “regular” person go toe-to-toe with one of the great comedic improvisers of all time on Conan.

According to Debbie, she simply had to go over and greet Conan once she saw him, and may have changed her life in the process —

“The random woman who goes toe-to-toe with Conan, one of the great comedic riffers of all time, in the final:30 of this is one of the most impressive things I’ve seen in a long time,” one viral tweet proclaimed

“Very funny to have a TV Famous person outshine an Internet Famous person like a thermonuclear bomb, and then for a random person to do the same,” a second summarized.

“He is the funniest man alive, and the 2nd funniest person alive behind the woman who sits next to him and Kareem at the end,” a third joked.

Debbie, the owner of Confessions bar in Brooklyn, New York, has since been interviewed by the likes of The New York Times and New York Magazine.

Speaking to the latter publication after the clip went viral, Conan described Debbie as being an “amazing woman.”

“This amazing woman sits down next to me, and suddenly she’s throwing improv comebacks at 100 miles per hour,” he said, adding that he’s open to working with Shields again.

“I’ll do a sitcom with her. Or open a restaurant. Or we can just hit the road and do a two-person show.”

Speaking to the New York Times, Shields explained how the moment came to be.

“This was spontaneous. I had no idea. I had gotten off the A train, transferred to the F train. I was going somewhere with my best friend, Tony. And we got on the train, and we saw a little camera crew, and Tony looked over and said, ‘Hey, that’s Conan O’Brien,'” she explained.

“He’s a big fan of Conan. And I was like, ‘Oh my God.’ I said, ‘Well, you hold the seat for me, and I’m going to go sit next to him.’ So I walked up and I walked past him. I said, ‘Hey, Conan.’ He said, ‘Hey, how you doing?’ And I sat down and went on from there.”

Shields’ bar, Confessions, is located at 333 Marcus Garvey Blvd in Brooklyn. It opens at 4:30 p.m. every day, except for Sunday, when it opens at 3, and Monday, when it’s closed.

A diehard Milwaukee Brewers fan is willing to put his 25 years of plumbing experience to work for anyone who can help him accomplish a lifelong dream: attending the World Series with his family.

Jon Moser, a master plumber from West Allis, Wisconsin, and his wife, Natasha, have posted an unusual proposal on social media. Instead of spending thousands on tickets, they’re offering professional plumbing services in exchange for seats at the Fall Classic. The idea came after the Mosers discovered just how expensive World Series tickets had become.

According to Fox 6 Milwaukee, the couple owns N & J Plumbing, a business specializing in residential remodeling and service work.

“We wanted to save up for the World Series, and as the tickets came up, they were just extremely expensive,” Jon told Fox 6. “My wife was like, would you be interested in swapping labor? And I’m like absolutely! Like why not do that if I can give back some of my talent and skill and looking for my money, and maybe I help their vision for their home that they are creating for me and my family. It’s all about experience.”

World Series ticket prices have Brewers fans getting creative

According to Fox 6, standing-room-only tickets are selling for at least $2,300, while actual seats are commanding prices over $3,000. Wide Open Country reports that the cheapest available tickets on SeatGeek were approximately $2,490.

Those extraordinary prices have inspired Milwaukee Brewers fans to explore unconventional ways of securing tickets. Supporters have reportedly offered everything from pontoon boats to sports cards to international flights.

Attending the World Series would mean more than just seeing a baseball game

Jon Moser believes the same qualities that define his life — hard work, dedication, perseverance and determination — also define the Milwaukee Brewers. He says attending the World Series would create many lifelong memories with his two kids.

“How do you not remember going to the Brewers stadium and having that experience, whether we win or lose? I believe we’re going to win. I truly believe that…and I just want to be a part of that experience,” he said.

Moser told Fox 6 that he had already received some interest in his unusual offer, although no agreement had been finalized, but he’s still hoping someone with extra tickets might need a bathroom remodeled, pipes repaired or another plumbing project completed.

Meanwhile, he has organized a World Series watch party at his home in West Allis. For Moser, trading his expertise for the chance to watch his beloved Brewers compete for a championship would be a labor of love — and potentially the deal of a lifetime.

In high school biology, you probably learned that smell is wired straight into the memory center of your brain. Your mind likely drifted to Grandma’s kitchen or the locker room after two-a-days.

What It Smells Like

Particle Gravité opens bright. Grapefruit and bergamot hit the nose first, then a little whiff of black pepper and rosemary. As it settles, warmer notes of cashmere wood and nutmeg come forward, with a touch of apple and papyrus underneath. This is where it gets both rustic and exotic… you’ll feel like a gentlemanly woodsman. The base of Gravité is musk and cedar, rounded out by ambergris and vetiver. This is the part that lingers until dinner.

Gravité is complex, changing with the light in the sky. It smells fresh when you walk out the door. By the afternoon, once it settles in, it’s warmer and woodier. You could say Gravité itself does its magic, evolving as the day goes on. Reviewers say it’s masculine without being overpowering. People notice it when they lean in for a hug, which means it’s doing it’s job. After all, that’s the perfect distance for a cologne to leave an impression.

How To Wear It

We are living in a golden age of protein. Everything on the shelves these days is either packed with protein or claims to be, but protein bars still reign supreme for many reasons and here we rank the best protein bars based on flavor, macros, texture, and digestibility.

I am still a little fuzzy on the true meaning of old phrase from the Brothers Grimm “you have to kiss a lot of frogs to find the one” because somehow as a married man that’s the first phrase that comes to mind when I think about how many different types of protein bars I’ve sampled in recent years.

Ranking The 11 Best Protein Bars on the Market Based on Macros and Taste

When it comes to the best protein bars, in my humble opinion, macros are sacrosanct. The ’10:1 (10x) Protein Rule’ is probably the best single judging point for a protein bar and after that we get into taste and texture.

That rule refers to looking at the number of grams in a protein bar, multiplying it by 10, and if the total number calories are less than or equal to that number then it passes the test and 40% or more of the total calories come from protein which is exactly what we want in the ideal protein bar. But if every protein bar was just straight protein it would taste horrible and we want something that isn’t just palatable, we want a protein bar that is straight-up delicious. So let’s get to it, shall we?

1. David Protein Bar’s Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

Coming in at #1 we have David Protein Bar. These bars have the best macros by a country mile. Each bar has 28 grams of protein, 2 grams of total fat, and 12 grams of carbohydrates all for just 150 calories.

David Protein Bars contain a proprietary ingredient, EPG (Esterified Propoxylated Glycerol), that is a modified plant-based fat substitute designed to mimic the mouthfeel of actual fat without all the calories. I included the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough flavor here, which you can find at Costco or on David’s website, but I am also a huge fan of the Cinnamon Roll, Red Velvet, and Blueberry Pie flavors.

2. Barebells Cookies & Cream Protein Bar

Barebells taste like dessert. Let us just get that out of the way up front. They also satisfy the 10:1 rule as the Barebells Cookies & Cream Protein Bar has 20 grams of protein, 7 grams of fat, 20 grams of carbohydrates, for 200 calories. So it is right on that 10:1 ratio.

Many would argue that Barebells’ best flavor is the Caramel Cashew, with the same macros, but I’m a Cookies & Cream guy. And these are my second favorite protein bars behind David because the flavor justifies the additional 50 calories over David as they taste more like candy than a protein bar. But with that in mind, part of locking in to build an incredible physique is watching what we eat. If every food was hyper-palatable we would constantly over eat. And that can be a concern with Barebells given how delicious they are.

One drawback with Barebells is they do not sit right in everyone’s stomach. My wife cannot handle them while I’m fine if I were to eat them all day, which I have done on road trips in the past.

3. Built Puff Protein Brownie Batter Bar

Built Puff Protein Bars are another extremely delicious, hyper-palatable protein bar with fantastic macros. They clock in at 140 calories, 17 grams of protein, 2.5 grams of fat, and 13 grams of carbohydrates. I’m also very fond of Built Puff’s Coconut flavor as it has a distinct tropical taste.

These can be purchased in bulk from Costco which offers fantastic savings and they bundle the Brownie Batter box with the Coconut box, a protein twofer if you will. And with 17 grams of protein and 140 calories, they satisfy the 10:1 ratio rule.

4. Pure Protein Birthday Cake Protein Bar

One of the most popular protein bars in recent months is the Pure Protein Birthday Cake bar. It has 20 grams of protein, 5 grams of fat, 18 grams of carbohydrates, all for 200 calories which meets the 10:1 ratio rule.

I definitely dig the mouthfeel of this protein bar. It has a fantastic taste and doesn’t feel like I’m eating a protein bar from the late 90s or early 2000s when everything tasted distinctly fake. There is a lot of flavor here and it is great on the go.

5. Snickers Hi-Protein Original Bar

Now we are getting into some interesting territory. The Snickers Hi-Protein Original Bar is a protein bar but it tastes more like dessert than a protein bar and that is honestly where I have found the most value out of it.

The Snickers Hi-Protein Original Bar has 20 grams of protein, 10 grams of fat, and 19 grams of carbohydrates all for 240 calories. So while it might not satisfy the 10:1 ratio, the 20 grams of protein is still an ample amount if you are eating this as dessert which is when I reach for it most frequently. It is a Snickers after all, and they know flavor better than anyone else on this list.

6. David Bronze Peanut Butter Chocolate Crunch

Back on this list is David but this time it is the David Bronze label and the Peanut Butter Chocolate Crunch flavor. It has fewer grams of protein than the main David bar but with 20 grams of protein, 4 grams of fat, 15 grams of carbohydrates, all for 150 calories, it more than satisfies the 10:1 ratio.

I do really love the crunch in these bars. Living in Florida though, I’ve ordered these in the middle of the Summer and htey arrive melted, which was to be expected, so I throw them in the fridge to re-solidify them and it works, but then the chocolate flakes off a little. That is not the fault of the manufacturer. Florida’s just insanely hot. And all of that is to say I love these fresh from the store or at the gym versus having gone through the process of cooling it back down myself.

7. Quest Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Protein Bar

Quest Protein (Nutrition) has been around for 16 years which feels like a lifetime in the protein world as empires rise and fall on the regular, but they have remained one of the best brands in the industry by consistently putting out flavorful products with fantastic macros. The Quest Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Protein Bar has 21 grams of protein, 9 grams of fat, and 22 grams of carbohydrates for 190 calories which as you already know satisfies the 10:1 ratio.

If you like the flavor chocolate chip cookie dough then this is your protein bar. Period. Point. Blank. You can look no further. The flavor is phenomenal, it tastes like dessert, and doesn’t have the chalky aftertaste found in my inferior brands.

8. Grenade Oreo Milk Protein Bar

I slept on the Grenade Oreo Protein Bar for far too long. It has 20 grams of protein, 10 grams of fat, 21 grams of carbohydrates, for 210 total calories. And as an amateur triathlete I need my carbs just as much as protein, so the 21g of carbs is crucial here during and after workouts for me.

The flavor speaks for itself. Oreo. A cookie-flavored cookie. Whoever came up with the concept for a cookie-flavored cookie (Oreo) does not get nearly enough credit for that innovation.

9. Anabar Cookies & Cream Protein Bar

If you are at a place in life where your dessert is a protein bar then boy do I have the right one for you! The Anabar Cookies & Cream protein bar tastes like something straight out of New York City bakery.

While the macros do not meet the 10:1 ratio, if we re treating this as dessert then that is perfectly fine. It has 20 grams of protein, 11 grams of fat, 22 grams of carbohydrates, all for 270 calories. Their Cookies & Cream flavor is the one that gets the most hype and the one I sought out to taste test for this review and it lived up to its reputation.

10. Power Crunch French Vanilla Crème Protein Bar

This one was new to me until recently but at first bite it made me realize how much of the protein industry is sleeping on vanilla as a flavor these days. And the Power Crunch French Vanilla Crème Protein Bar isn’t just vanilla, it is Vanilla Crème, with an even more luxurious flavor.

The Power Crunch French Vanilla Crème Protein Bar has 14 grams of protein, 13 grams of fat, and 11 grams of carbohydrates for 220 calories. 14 grams of protein is a sizable amount for a snack but it doesn’t meet the 10:1 ratio rule so I like to bucket this as more of a treat than a training tool, and that is perfectly fine as this protein bar is absolutely delicious.

11. FIT Crunch Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Bar

Rounding out the list of the 11 best protein bars on the market right now are the FIT Crunch Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Bar which recently made an appearance at Costco and I had to take them for a spin. These have 16 grams of protein, 8 grams of fat, and 14 grams of carbohydrates for 190 calories which falls just short of the 10:1 ratio but is still pretty protein packed for under 100 calories.

I had heard from a colleague that these protein bars mirror the flavor of candy bars and honestly, they were right. These are delicious. I couldn’t stop at just one. Maybe you can if you have more will power than I do. But they are absolutely delicious.

A retired British man struck it rich after 42 forgotten Pokémon card sets stored in his attic for 15 years sold for more than $2 million at auction.

The 76-year-old retired painter and decorator from Woking, Surrey, England, was shocked when a Pokémon card collection he stored in the attic sold for $2.09 million at Ewbank’s Auctions. The amount was way higher than his estimates for the collection, which he thought would be £250 to £270 ($335 to $361). It turned out that the 42 complete Pokémon master sets from the late 1990s generated huge interest among bidders.

It started with a newspaper article about a single Pokémon card that had recently sold for over £6,000. The man, intrigued by the story, remembered the large binder full of cards he had stored away in his attic for around 15 years.

He retrieved them from the attic to see if they had any value. What he discovered ultimately changed his financial future.

“I know people always talk about finding treasure in the attic, but in my case that is literally true,” the BBC reports the man, who asked not to be identified, said.

The collection started as investment inspired by his son

It was when his son was playing with Pokémon cards that he started to buy the cards online and put them into binders. He bought complete sets of cards from online marketplaces such as eBay, hoping they would increase in value. He had them stored away in the expectation that they might increase in value at a later date but he never suspected that they could fetch millions.

When his son lost interest in the cards, he continued to buy complete sets of the cards online, just to add to his investment.

“When my son was young, in the late 1990s, he started getting cards and swapping them at school,” the man said.

“I thought they looked nice and wondered whether they might be a good investment. He had his own cards, but he never got to touch these, I’m glad to say.”

Rare Pokémon sets fetch extraordinary prices

Part of the large collection of rare Pokémon cards was sold at auction at Ewbank’s. James Spooner, head of trading cards at Ewbank’s, described the man’s 42 complete Pokémon sets as “astonishing.”

“When we saw what he had – all in mint condition – we couldn’t believe it,” Spooner said.

The man remembered paying just £300 ($400) for an entire collection of cards from a Malaysian seller on eBay. At Wednesday’s auction, the set reportedly brought in almost $100,000, a remarkable return on his investment. A Legendary Collection Complete Master Set with a nearly-mint Charizard card was another highlight of the auction.

It’s not often you hear of treasure buried in an attic, but for one retired British decorator an investment into his son’s childhood hobby has yielded a multi-million pound payoff.

“If you buy something for your son, as happened in this case, and they don’t want it, well, maybe pop it away because you never know what value it might have in the future,” said Andrew Ewbank, who runs Ewbank’s.

He also urged anyone who thinks they might have collectibles hidden away somewhere at home to “get it down and looked at” following the record-breaking sale. Ewbank said the sale’s total was the highest they have ever gotten for collectibles at auction in 30 years.

There was zero doubt Brady Tkachuk was going to get a very rude welcome in Ottawa after playing his first game in the city he abandoned to join the Panthers. Senators fans delivered, and Amazon Prime had to add a content warning for viewers after they assaulted him with a barrage of vulgar chants.

Brady Tkachuk spent the first eight seasons of his career with the Senators, and the man who was named their captain in 2021 was one of their top producers during a tenure that saw him earn an All-Star nod on four occasions.

However, the team failed to make the playoffs during his first six years in Ottawa, and there was growing speculation he was angling for an exit after they were eliminated in the first round for the second time in a row last season.

That ended up being the case, as Tkachuk forced a trade that led to him joining his brother Matthew on the Panthers, a move that did not go over well with fans who understandably viewed him as a traitor.

On Wednesday, the winger headed back to the Canadian Tire Centre for the first time since the divorce, and he was predictably greeted by an incredibly hostile crowd that triggered an unusual alert on a streaming service carrying the game.

Amazon Prime had to warn viewers who tuned into Brady Tkachuk’s return to Ottawa about “mature themes” after fans unleashed a barrage of profane chants

A sold-out crowd of 17,010 fans attended Wednesday night’s showdown, and many of them came armed with signs targeting Tkachuk (as well as multiple spectators who mocked his appearance by donning a mask of Sloth from The Goonies).

He embraced his status as the villain while soaking in the boos he was showered with after the team played an essentially obligatory tribute video during the first period, but that was far from the only verbal assault he was subjected to during the game.

Senators fans peppered the defector with a variety of chants including “YOU CAN’T READ” and “YOU EAT CRAYONS,” but those clean ones were supplemented by more than a few that harnessed some profanity that was pretty easy to hear if you tuned into the game on Amazon Prime, the platform that was carrying it in Canada.

It became an issue to the point where the streamer added a content warning, as fans who went to watch the game were made aware of “mature content” they might be exposed to due to the chants.

Tkachuk scored the lone goal for the Panthers, but Senators fans went home happy after watching their team hand him and Florida a 5-1 loss.

Dave Portnoy doesn’t consider University of Michigan quarterback Bryce Underwood to be one of the worst investments he’s ever made. Podcaster Michael Rapaport, however, is a different story.

On the Pick’Em podcast, co-host Dan ‘Big Cat’ Katz asked Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy whether his role in Bryce Underwood’s recruitment to Michigan was his worst investment ever.

Dave Portnoy revealed the top five worst investments he’s made during his time at Barstool Sports and doesn’t consider Bryce Underwood among them

While Portnoy rejected the idea, he did name five things that were worse uses of his time and money.

According to Portnoy, the worst investments he’s made during his time at Barstool are: Brick watches, Michael Rapaport, Back to School, the “Mold house” (a Miami property that he purchased), and his racehorses.

“Back to School” was a 2010 Barstool Sports college campus concert tour that nearly bankrupted the company, while Rapaport — whom the company hired in 2017 — was fired after he tweeted an insult about the site’s fans and wound up suing the company for defamation. His claims were dismissed.

The question stems from Portnoy’s connection to Underwood’s recruitment to the University of Michigan, which he was reportedly heavily involved in. Portnoy has also said he’s done putting up NIL money for Michigan after the experience with Underwood.

Underwood, the top-ranked quarterback in the 2025 recruiting class, flipped from LSU to Michigan with an NIL deal reportedly worth eight figures that was partially funded by Portnoy’s contributions. Portnoy publicly pledged and contributed millions to the effort alongside Jolin Ellison — wife of Oracle billionaire and Michigan alum Larry Ellison — to outbid LSU’s reported $1.5 million-per-year offer.

His sophomore season has been rocky, however, as he was benched at halftime of Michigan’s game against Penn State on Saturday after going 5-for-11 for 43 yards and two interceptions. He was replaced by true freshman Tommy Carr, the grandson of Lloyd Carr. Through six games, Underwood had 924 passing yards, a 58 percent completion rate, and eight turnovers.

The San Francisco 49ers moved to 6-0 on the season with a 23-17 victory over the Washington Commanders on Monday night. But those watching with a keen eye noticed an interesting exchange between Niners quarterback Brock Purdy and head coach Kyle Shanahan.

At one point late in the third quarter, Purdy could be seen waiting for play call from Shanahan before he turned back toward the sideline and yelled, simply, “Hey, Kyle!”

The following third-down play resulted in a 1-yard touchdown run by 49ers star running back Christian McCaffrey. But what exactly was Purdy yelling at Shanahan about?

Kyle Shanahan couldn’t decide on a play to call and Brock Purdy got tired of waiting

Kyle Shanahan Says Exchange With QB Brock Purdy Is Not Uncommon

Following the incident, 49ers reporter Grant Cohn asked Shanahan what was happening that led to Purdy yelling at his head coach on the sidelines. As it turns out, it’s a fairly common occurrence.

“Yeah, it’s actually not to call a play faster,” Shanahan told members of the media. “It’s, ‘I need it again,’ and (radio communication) gets cut off at 15 [seconds].”

“Sometimes no one can hear it,” Shanahan added. “I always call a play, and I just walk and think. I don’t always watch the huddle. A lot of times, Mac [Jones] or someone will say, ‘We didn’t get it. It was chopped.’ Or somebody yells, ‘Brock’s yelling at you,’ which I can’t always hear. But I did hear him a couple times in this game, and I look up and try to do it again as long as it’s not past 15 seconds.”

According to Shanahan, this type of interaction usually happens multiple times in a game. In this case, the microphone and cameras just happened to pick it up.

Shanahan also noted that at certain NFL stadiums, headset communications are less reliable. In the case that the play call doesn’t reach the quarterback in time, the team has a handful of “go-to” plays that Purdy can call.

Sure, it provided a funny moment for viewers at home. But it appears that the interaction between Shanahan and Purdy was actually a whole lot of nothing.

A Florida police officer who found the body of an elderly man while carrying out a welfare check over four years ago is now accused of stealing the man’s identity and taking over his home in a lengthy scam that allegedly went on for years.

The officer with the Lauderhill Police Department was arrested on Tuesday, October 20, after an investigation by the Broward Sheriff’s Office. According to People, investigators say the officer used the personal details of Dennis West, who was 71 at the time of his death in 2022, to make it appear as if West was still alive and in possession of his property.

He is now facing a number of charges, including official misconduct, criminal use of deceased personal identification, criminal use of personal identification information, offense against a computer user, and unlawful use of a two-way communication device.

The police officer allegedly used the dead man’s identity for years

The police officer allegedly first saw West in 2022 during a welfare check at his Lauderhill home. Rather than simply doing his job, the officer allegedly devised a plan to take possession of the property.

The Broward Sheriff’s Office said the officer falsely claimed to be a friend of West and told the medical examiner’s office that the man had no family. Investigators say he later used restricted law enforcement databases to obtain West’s personal information.

People reports that the officer is accused of paying the property taxes and utility bills under West’s name and signing a city permit with West’s signature. He is also accused of submitting documents that said he had owned the property since August 2022, a few months after West died.

$214,000 renovation claim exposes alleged scheme

The scheme is said to have failed when Equinox Realty Holdings took control of the property from West’s family and tried to take over the house. According to The Independent, the officer eventually handed over the keys but insisted on reimbursement for the work he said he’d done to the property.

Court documents show the officer claimed to have made around $214,000 in repairs and improvements. In February 2026, the officer filed a claim for the work. An attorney for the real estate company then contacted the Lauderhill Police Department, which led to an investigation.

The officer claimed he took over the property to prevent squatting and criminal activity, not to steal the house.

Police chief responds to officer’s arrest

Lauderhill Police Chief Constance Stanley denounced the alleged misconduct and made it clear that officers must be held accountable for their actions.

“Every officer in this Department takes an oath to protect the people of Lauderhill, including those who can no longer speak for themselves,” Stanley told the Miami Herald (via The Independent). “Wearing this badge in no way puts you above the law.”

The officer, who joined the department in March 2021, was relieved of duty and, after his arrest, placed on administrative leave without pay.

According to People, he appeared in court on Wednesday, October 21st and was released from the Broward County Jail on a $25,000 bond. The investigation is still ongoing.

The Kansas Jayhawks hosted the Louisville Cardinals for a men’s basketball scrimmage at Allen Fieldhouse on Wednesday night, which meant the return of former Kansas forward Flory Bidunga, who transferred to Louisville in the offseason.

Safe to say, Jayhawks fans were not exactly welcoming, greeting Bidunga with all sorts of profane chants, including “f— you, Flory.” Bidunga put up five points, three rebounds, and one block in an 89-83 victory for the Cardinals.

Afterward, he was understanding of the vitriol coming from Kansas supporters.

“They’re rooting for Kansas. I understand. Fans are going to be fans,” Bidunga said. “They want Kansas to be great, so that means they’ll say whatever they have to. Well, y’all heard what they said, but I didn’t pay attention. We had a mission. We came here. Y’all saw my teammates take care of the ball, take care of the game, so I’m really excited and proud of them.”

But Jayhawks coach Bill Self wasn’t as gracious toward his own fans.

Bill Self Says Kansas Fans Were Out Of Line With Chants Toward Flory Bidunga

“I actually expected Flory to get booed,” Self said in his postgame press conference. “Anything beyond that is uncalled for, but I expected him to get booed. And you know what? When you transfer, or I take another job or something, and you go back to that place, that’s what happens. That’s the way it should be. That’s what creates interest. Flory knows that. But anything beyond that, I don’t agree with at all, especially when he gave us two really good years, and he was a terrific kid.”

Self continued to emphasize that he’s fine with boos. But the profane chants are where he draws the line.

“I think it’s fine that people react a certain way. If he wasn’t any good, nobody would care,” he said. “People care. So, that’s part of it. But anything more than that, no, I wouldn’t appreciate it.”

Meanwhile, Kansas recently added former Purdue star Trey Kaufman-Renn, who joined the team this week after winning an injunction for a sixth season. Kaufman-Renn did not play for the Jayhawks in the scrimmage.

There aren’t many people who would go out of their way to have an encounter with a great white shark given their reputation. However, a fisherman known as the “Long Island Shark Man” allegedly did exactly that last year, and he’s found himself facing criminal charges after dragging one onto a beach on Cape Cod.

Jaws is widely credited with instilling a widespread fear of sharks across multiple generations of people who witnessed the great white at the center of that film go on a bloodthirsty rampage off the coast of the fictional island of Amity.

It also led to an increase in shark hunting due to people who viewed the apex predators as the ultimate trophy. Steven Spielberg admitted he had regrets about the movie’s impact on that particular front, and Peter Benchley, the author of the novel it was based on, devoted the latter half of his life to promoting conservation efforts.

Great white sharks have been a federally protected species in the Atlantic Ocean since 1997, and a number of states also have laws that ban people from actively hunting them in their waters. That includes Massachusetts, which recently beefed up preexisting legislation to crack down on reelers attempting to bag one.

However, one man who traveled there from New York allegedly ignored those rules and landed in legal trouble as a result.

Christopher Stefanou, a.k.a. the “Long Island Shark Man,” was hit with animal cruelty charges over an alleged quest for a great white

Chris Stefanou has racked up over 550,000 followers on Instagram by chronicling fishing excursions that primarily revolve around the sharks he catches and releases while angling from the shores of beaches around the United States.

He’s worked in conjunction with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to further their tagging efforts, and while he positions himself as a conservationist who prides himself on protecting sharks, he is now facing animal cruelty charges over what allegedly transpired on Cape Cod last year.

According to NBC Boston, police say the “Long Island Shark Man” headed from New York to Massachusetts last October to lead a charter commissioned by an unnamed European client who wanted to track down a great white.

They were ultimately able to reel in a tagged one known as “Aaron,” a catch that was chronicled in a now-deleted video that Stefanou posted online. However, it came to the attention of authorities, who say he broke the law by harnessing a drone and charged him with “cruelty to animals, fishing for shark, mechanical deployment of bait, attempting to capture a shark and possession of a protected species shark.”

Stefanou’s bail was set at  $10,000 when he appeared in Barnstable Superior Court, and he was ordered to surrender his fishing license and barred from entering Massachusetts until he returns for a hearing scheduled for December 11th.

A three-hour documentary about Elizabeth Holmes might beat a DC superhero movie at the box office this weekend. Box office projections for the weekend have You Can See Everything, in its second weekend, outgrossing Clayface in its debut weekend.

A24’s You Can See Everything opened to about $15.8 million from 855 theaters last weekend, making it the biggest documentary opening since Fahrenheit 9/11 in 2004 if you don’t count concert films.

You Can See Everything could challenge DC’s Clayface for No. 1 at the box office this weekend

The film, co-directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, expands to about 2,600 theaters this weekend, leading to box office projections of at least $18 million in its second weekend.

You Can See Everything already outpaced an IP tentpole project at the box office, averaging about $17,543 per theater, more than double Street Fighter’s $8,671.

Clayface, meanwhile, is DC Studios’ R-rated body-horror origin story for the Batman villain Matt Hagen, directed by James Watkins from a Mike Flanagan script. Flanagan stepped away from the project after originally being attached to direct.

Variety has Clayface making $25 million to $35 million in its, while Boxoffice Pro has it at $25 million to $30 million. One tracker following a single theater chain projects $18 million to $20 million, and Box Office Theory’s forecast is lower still, at $15 million to $23 million, per Comic Basics. R

According to TheWrap, though, You Can See Everything “could swipe the No. 1 spot” if Clayface falters.

A24 plans to submit the film in 11 categories at next year’s Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actress, Best Documentary Feature, Best Production Design, Best Cinematography, Best Costume Design, Best Film Editing, Best Makeup and Hairstyling, Best Sound and Best Original Score.

If it were nominated for Best Picture, it would be the first documentary in the history of the Academy Awards to be nominated in that category. Amanda Seyfried earning an Oscar nom for Best Supporting Actress would mark a first, too.

Last November I flew across the country to Milton, Delaware, for Dogfish Head’s 30th birthday. All day, people kept stopping to shake hands, hug, and high-five Dogfish Head founder Sam Calagione, and I wrote here on BroBible that it felt like “an off-center coronation.”

On that trip, I joked to a friend that Sam Calagione is the King of Delaware. Watching him work the crowd at his own birthday party, I stand by it. He’s the kind of king who remembers your name, asks about your grandma, and pours you something weird and delicious. Every state should be so lucky.

And it turns out the King of Delaware has always had a soft spot for other kings.

Dogfish Head is bringing back Midas Touch, the brewery’s most-requested rare beer, after roughly five years in the vault.

This particular beer kicked off the Ancient Ales series in 1999. It’s brewed from a recipe reverse-engineered from a drinking vessel found in a tomb associated with King Midas, aka the guy who basically coined the phrase “golden touch.”

What’s Dogfish Head Midas Touch?

Midas Touch lives in the liquid borderlands between beer, wine, and mead. It’s brewed with barley, honey, white Muscat grapes and saffron, and it lands at a serious 9% ABV.

Dogfish describes it as sweet but dry, with honey and orchard fruit up front, a little earthy spice in the middle and a crisp finish. As a kicker, to truly make the beer golden, Sam Calagione brewed it with saffron.

This is the beer to hand your buddy who swears he doesn’t really drink beer. Watch him go back to the fridge for a second can when he thinks nobody’s looking.

Perhaps you’re wondering how this one-of-a-kind beer came to be?

If you’re a history buff, the backstory is quite compelling: During the tomb’s excavation, archaeologists found a drinking vessel still holding residue from whatever the Phrygian royals were knocking back at the funeral.

The late Dr. Patrick McGovern, a biomolecular archaeologist at the University of Pennsylvania’s museum, ran a series of chemistry tests on the vessels and worked out the likely ingredients. Sam jumped at the chance to bring an ancient Phrygian beer back from the dead.

Midas Touch kicked off a long run of mad-scientist experiments in the Dogfish Head R&D lab. After the beer launched in 1999, Sam and Dr. McGovern kept teaming up like Indiana Jones and Willy Wonka, and the formula never changed: find chemical traces in an ancient drinking vessel, figure out what was in it, then brew a modern version.

Chateau Jiahu (2006, 10% ABV) comes from a 9,000-year-old recipe found in pottery jars from a Neolithic village in northern China, made with orange blossom honey, Muscat grape juice, barley malt and hawthorn fruit. Ta Henket (2010, 4.5% ABV) is an ancient Egyptian beer pieced together from hieroglyphics and brewed with hearth-baked bread, chamomile, doum-palm fruit, and a yeast strain native to Cairo; it’s basically a sandwich and a beer in one can. Kvasir (2013, 10% ABV) came from a 3,500-year-old drinking vessel found in Denmark, and it’s brewed with red winter wheat, bog-grown berries, honey, and birch syrup, in case you ever wondered what the Vikings’ ancestors drank.

When I talked to Sam last year, he described Dogfish’s early days as a horror film. For example, beer purists were furious that he put coffee and raisins in their beer. Midas Touch arrived four years into that era, and his answer to the raisin haters was to brew a beer from a dead king’s cup. As a beer guy myself, I find that incredibly funny and incredibly punk rock.

Dogfish Head Midas Touch is rolling out to taps and shelves in select states nationwide. If you can’t wait, Dogfish Head’s Delaware locations already have it on draft and in six-packs of 12-ounce cans. The brewery’s Fish Finder on dogfish.com will point you to the nearest pour.

If you happen to find it at Chesapeake & Maine in Rehoboth, get the crab dip. Trust me on this one. Golden beer and Old Bay belong together.

Last year I closed by toasting grandmas everywhere who make excellent snack mix. This year the glass goes up to a Phrygian king who had excellent taste in drinks, and to the King of Delaware for remembering the recipe.

One more thing for your calendar: on Oct. 27, Dogfish drops Jett Black Lager, a collab with Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Joan Jett, through Give Them Beer as a beer and merch kit.

LeBron James is already facing backlash this season.

During the Sixers-Knicks home opener, LeBron appeared to practice his golf swing on the sidelines as the national anthem played.

Earlier this year, LeBron talked about his obsession with golf.

“I told myself when I turned 40 that I wanted to do something that was maybe uncomfortable or never done in my life before. I’d never played golf before, and I never really followed the sport. When I turned 40, I said it was that and chess; I’ve never played chess as well. So that will be next, but right now, I’m locked in on golf,” James told Melissa Rohlin of the California Post. “It’s something that I’ve really put a lot of time in. I love the sport, appreciate the sport. I love how difficult it is; I love a challenge. So, I look forward to putting more work in over the course of however long it takes me. But right now, I’m having a hell of a time playing.”

Fans ripped into LeBron for practicing his golf swing at the wrong time.

This isn’t the first time LeBron has worked on his golf swing during the anthem.

Last year, while he was still with the Lakers, ESPN shared a video of the four-time NBA champion doing the same thing before a game.

When the Detroit Lions used the 34th pick in the 2023 NFL Draft on Sam LaPorta, a tight end out of Iowa, they couldn’t have imagined how well it would work out.

In his rookie season, LaPorta caught 86 passes for 889 yards and 10 touchdowns and was named second-team All-Pro. While his numbers tapered off in the two seasons to follow, LaPorta is still a major weapon in the Lions’ offense.

Now, he’s up for a contract extension, and LaPorta isn’t at all happy that the team hasn’t found a way to make a new deal come together.

#Lions TE Sam LaPorta on not getting a contract extension:

“It’s disappointing that you go out there every week and bear the risk of getting hurt. Like last year, I broke my f—ing back for the team. And then I’m going out there this year and I’m balling, and maybe they’re just not showing the love.

“I’m going to continue to do my thing and ball out, and in three months, if I don’t get to wear the Honolulu blue and play for the Lions anymore, it’s going to be all good. I’ll go get paid somewhere else. So whatever.”

Sam LaPorta Has No Concerns About Leaving The Detroit Lions

LaPorta appeared on the Barstool Sports “Pardon My Take” show on Wednesday and was asked about his current contract status. While some players may take the diplomatic approach, that’s not what LaPorta opted to do.

“It’s disappointing that you go out there every week and bear the risk of getting hurt. Like last year, I broke my f—ing back for the team,” LaPorta said.

“And then I’m going out there this year and I’m balling, and maybe they’re just not showing the love,” he added. “I’m going to continue to do my thing and ball out, and in three months, if I don’t get to wear the Honolulu blue and play for the Lions anymore, it’s going to be all good. I’ll go get paid somewhere else. So whatever.”

Yikes. You can’t blame LaPorta for being frustrated. He’s on pace for 97 catches, 1,138 yards, and 11 touchdowns this season. Those are All-Pro-type numbers. So you’d think Detroit would be doing everything in its power to sign him to a long-term contract.

But it doesn’t sound like that’s the case. And if a deal doesn’t get done, LaPorta sounds perfectly content to go play somewhere else.

Despite a big win over rival Texas in the Red River Rivalry a couple weeks ago, the 2026 college football season hasn’t exactly gone to play for the Oklahoma Sooners and head coach Brent Venables.

Oklahoma opened the season with hopes of returning to the College Football Playoff for the second straight season. But after a 3-3 start to the season, including losses to Michigan, Kentucky, and Georgia, those hopes are effectively gone.

On Wednesday, things got even worse for the Sooners in scary fashion after former walk-on offensive lineman Sean Hutton was hospitalized following a practice incident.

Oklahoma Sooners OL Sean Hutton Sent To Hospital After Scary Practice Injury

Student-run newspaper OU Daily reports that Hutton, a sophomore from Lewisville, Texas, collapsed at Wednesday’s practice following a non-contact injury.

Hutton was initially tended to by the Oklahoma training staff. He was then taken to the hospital via ambulance where he was observed overnight.

“I don’t think it had anything to do with practice, …” Hutton’s father, JD Hutton, told the student paper. Although the elder Hutton added that he was still getting details and was not clear on Sean’s condition as he got updates from Sean’s mother at the hospital.

“It wasn’t like he got hit in the head or anything like that. … His mom called me and told me that he collapsed, and she didn’t tell me any other details.

“She’s obviously talked to coach V, you know, coach Venables, and then of course she’s talking to trainers, …” JD Hutton added. “I know coach Bates talked to her.

“(I’m) 700 miles away,” said JD Hutton, who was visiting Sean’s brother, James, a student assistant coach at Coe College. “(I) can’t do anything (but) try to wait and see what’s going on with my baby boy.”

The university has not yet updated Hutton’s condition.

A mysterious, pale creature reported to be snatching chickens from residents’ properties near the U.S.-Mexico border has some wondering whether an unknown predator, perhaps from another dimension, is on the loose. The reports of the strange creature have mostly come from the Valley of Juarez in Chihuahua, a Mexican agricultural region near El Paso, Texas.

The unidentified creature is described as almost hairless, with human-like features, long, thin fingers and a long tail, according to reports by The Economic Times and International Business Times. Some reports claim the creature is a two-legged animal.

Reports describe the alleged creature as varying greatly in size. This unknown species has reportedly been described as ranging from 2 to 6 feet tall.

The strange creature has reportedly been seen stealing chickens

The mysterious creature has been attacking chicken coops across the area, with reports of it stealing the birds. One report said a young boy saw the strange creature carry a chicken away in its mouth.

The creature has also reportedly been seen in various images captured by surveillance cameras and other video sources. However, no evidence supports the creature images circulating online, which are unverified.

Jaime Maussan, a Mexican journalist and UFO investigator, suggests the creature’s unusual physical characteristics could indicate an interdimensional origin, but he stresses there is no scientific evidence to support this claim.

“Why did it appear there? It’s a mystery. Are they interdimensional beings? Did they come with other beings? Did they come in ships?” he asked, according to the El Paso Times.

No official confirmation of a mysterious predator

Local authorities have not commented on any mysterious alien-like predator in the area. Also, no credible evidence links these sightings to interstellar or interdimensional phenomena.

According to the International Business Times, civil protection officials in Juarez said that they have not received any formal complaints about an unknown creature attacking livestock. And on the Texas side of the border, officials said they had not seen nor heard of any unusual animal-related activity.

Jaime Maussan’s history of controversial UFO and alien investigations

In 2023, Maussan appeared before the Mexican Congress and showed images and videos of what he claimed were 1,000-year-old alien corpses. He said the remains held DNA that was not of this world. However, other scientists and researchers later examined the remains and found no evidence of extraterrestrial origins.

The UFO sleuth also said his team found unusual internal structures, what appeared to be advanced technology, and alien writing when they examined a mysterious metallic sphere discovered in a Colombian jungle.

Maussan also claims to have investigated UFO sightings in Mexico. One sighting involved three UFOs seen flying over Tulcingo de Valle, Puebla, in a triangle formation. Some people speculated that the UFOs may have come from or were going to Popocatepetl, a volcano located about 90 miles away that is often cited as being an alien base.

Airbnb has provided travelers with alternatives to more traditional lodging options for close to two decades, but there can be some downsides to opting for one over a hotel. That includes hosts who make guests serve as their cleaning staff, and many of them are less than thrilled with a new policy banning them from doing so.

There are a number of companies that specialize in organizing short-term rentals, but none of them have a bigger share of that particular market than Airbnb. The platform has been connecting hosts with guests since 2008, and in 2025, users collectively booked over 533 million nights at more than eight million properties around the globe.

There are plenty of perks that come with staying in a standalone home instead of a hotel or a motel, but if you’ve used Airbnb, you’ve likely been greeted by a sheet of paper (or an entire binder) filled with rules you’re expected to follow during your stay.

There are many hosts that put a reasonable set of guidelines in place, but there are plenty of stories concerning homeowners that attempt to rule the property they’re renting out with an iron fist while forcing guests to handle a variety of chores you wouldn’t have to worry about if you were staying at a place with dedicated on-site staff.

However, that era has come to an end.

Some Airbnb hosts are revolting over a new policy that bans them from making guests do chores before checking out

Most Airbnb listings come with a cleaning fee, but if you’ve ever paid one and discovered a host still left a list of tasks you’re expected to attend to before checking out, you’re certainly not alone.

It’s one thing to attempt to leave a place in the same shape it was when you entered it out of respect. However, at the end of the day, many people who are traveling (especially those who are on vacation) don’t want to devote more time than necessary to doing laundry or washing dishes, especially when they’ve paid an additional amount to cover the cost of someone coming in to clean after they vacate the premises.

On Wednesday, Airbnb sent an email to hosts alerting them to a new policy that bans them from instructing guests to perform chores that “require significant effort or time, or would typically be performed by a cleaner,” specifically mentioning “stripping the bed, taking trash offsite, or washing and putting away dishes.”

The new rules apply to “all reservations booked on or after November 20, 2026,” and while it’s a pretty welcome change for people booking a stay, it has riled up plenty of people on the other side of the transaction.

A subreddit devoted to Airbnb hosts was a goldmine of angry reactions courtesy of people who threatened to raise cleaning fees, and others took to Facebook to voice their displeasure and announce their decision to quit the platform as a result.

That sound you hear is the world’s tiniest violin playing for them.

Six-time NBA All-Star Anthony Davis made his debut for the Washington Wizards this week after an 8-player trade with the Dallas Mavericks. He had a stellar debut in our nation’s capital, scoring 34 points in 34 minutes on the court with 12 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, and a block en route to the Wizards beating Milwaukee 128-116.

After the game, Anthony Davis was asked about his debut. The official attendance listed for the game was 18,805 fans in an arena with a 20,356 capacity but according to Anthony Davis it felt empty in there.

Anthony Davis Coins ‘Dress Like A Seat Night’ After Wizards Debut

Speaking with reporters, Davis touched on the attendance, or lack thereof. He told reporters “I’d like it to be a little more packed in there, but the crowd was great, they were into it, got us over the hump…Even when I was here last year, very first home game. It was like ‘Dress Like a Seat Night’ in here.”

Presumably, AD is not the first athlete in history to refer to an empty stadium as ‘Dress Like A Seat Night’ but he is probably the most famous and to my knowledge this is the first time the phrase has gone viral. Here is Anthony Davis speaking with reporters following his spectacular debut for the Wizards:

Prior to being traded to Washington, Davis had injured his hand on January 8th while still with the Dallas Mavericks. He then injured his finger on February 4th which shut him down in the NBA pre-season.

What’s Next For Washington?

If AD’s season debut is any indication, there is no rust. He came out shooting 11-20 from the field and made 11-14 of his free throws. Davis led all scorers on the court and heard ‘MVP’ chants from the Wizards fans who were in attendance.

This could be a spectacular fit for him if the team comes together. Trae Young also put up 20 points and 13 assists and that duo could be dangerous in the East.

The Wizards have not had a winning season since 2017-18 when they went 43-39. Washington has lost a combined 196 games in the past three season!

So it is not exactly as if the team has given fans in the D.C. area a lot of reasons to show up and support the team, but with Anthony Davis putting up numbers like he did in his season debut it could certainly pack the stands in the months ahead. The Wizards now face the Raptors at home on Friday night in hopes of starting the season 2-0.

CBS’ breakup with Tony Romo is officially complete. On Thursday, the network announced it had signed future Hall of Fame defensive end J.J. Watt as its new lead analyst.

CBS Sports announced Thursday that former Houston Texans and Arizona Cardinals defensive lineman J.J. Watt signed a multi-year agreement to be lead analyst for NFL on CBS.

J.J. Watt signed a multi-year deal to be lead analyst for NFL on CBS and call games with Jim Nantz and Tracy Wolfson

Watt will call the network’s top games alongside play-by-play announcer Jim Nantz and sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson, and the lead team will call Super Bowl LXII in Atlanta.

Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, who had been CBS’ lead analyst since 2017, was arrested in Wisconsin on July 23 on a charge of operating a vehicle while intoxicated. Earlier this month, CBS announced it and Romo “mutually agreed to part ways.”

While Romo was immensely popular when his broadcasting career began, the perception of his quality as a broadcaster has waned in recent years.

Watt entered 2026 as CBS’ No. 2 analyst, working with Ian Eagle, and was elevated to work with Nantz while Romo was out.

Watt joined CBS in 2023 as a studio analyst on The NFL Today before moving to the booth last season. David Berson, chairman of Skydance’s Global Sports Group, praised him in the release. “He’s insightful, entertaining, passionate, meticulous in his preparation, and the ultimate teammate,” Berson said.

“I love this job and can’t wait to see ya Sunday with Jim and Tracy and many more Sundays to come!” Watt said of the extension.

Despite his awkward exit from CBS, Nantz said on a podcast earlier this month that he believes Romo will work in broadcasting again, and that his friendship with Romo will continue.

Kenan Thompson says the controversy over Shane Gillis’ “SNL” monologue took attention away from the rest of the episode.

Speaking at Axios’ Media Trends Live summit in New York City this week, Saturday Night Live veteran Kenan Thompson was asked about Shane Gillis’ controversial October 10 monologue in which he joked about working out at a gym and said, “I didn’t know women just dressed like whores now.”

Kenan Thompson said Shane Gillis’ SNL monologue “overshadowed” the episode, and that he would want to talk with Gillis about the joke if he hosts again

“I know Shane, and I don’t know him to be a mean person, necessarily,” Thompson said. “But if he were to come back, I’m sure we would have a conversation of like, ‘How do you think that went?’ You know what I mean? And, ‘What do you think you could have done?’ Like a little kid, you know? I would just sit him down and be like, ‘So what do you think we could change there, pal?’”

Thompson also added that people are fixating on “one specific word or one specific part of the monologue.”

“Grace [Reiter], one of our newest cast members, had a phenomenal show, and it’s sad because nobody’s even talking about it,” Thompson said. “Even [musical guest] Rosalía is getting overshadowed because we want to go back and forth on what’s offensive and what’s not.”

It was Gillis’ third time hosting Saturday Night Live, having previously hosted the show on February 24, 2024, and March 1, 2025. Gillis was hired as an “SNL” cast member in 2019 but was fired days later, before he appeared on the show, over past remarks about Asian Americans on a podcast.

Next month, Gillis’ career will make another leap forward when he makes his feature film debut in David O. Russell’s Madden alongside Academy Award winners Nicolas Cage and Christian Bale.

Pat McAfee’s first Monday Night Football alt-cast premiered this week, and the viewership has proven to be dismal.

According to reports, “Field Pass With The Pat McAfee Show” drew 351,000 viewers on ESPN2 for Monday’s Commanders-49ers game.

According to The Athletic’s Andrew Marchand, “that is around half of what the Mannings have received. The ManningCast pulled 705,000 viewers in Week 1 and 661,000 in Week 2.

Pat McAfee’s debut “Field Pass” alt-cast for Monday Night Football drew 351,000 viewers on ESPN2 for Commanders-49ers

According to Marchand, ESPN declined to confirm McAfee’s numbers, “which is not common practice.” The network’s release did include the game’s overall viewership: 17.9 million across ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, NFL Network and ESPN Deportes.

ESPN’s Next Gen Stats alt-cast, “Playbook,” on NFL Network drew 469,000 viewers, which was also more than McAfee’s show.

McAfee leads Field Pass from behind an end zone with Dan Orlovsky and Darius Butler, per Sports Video Group. ESPN has announced more Field Pass games, including November 9 (Bills at Vikings), November 30, December 14, and December 28. McAfee’s show is also set to appear on the Super Bowl LXI alt-cast lineup.

McAfee’s Monday Night Football Field Pass broadcast marks another way in which ESPN is featuring the former Indianapolis Colts punter, who is now featured on the network’s airwaves six out of the week’s seven days.

The peak of COVID-19 was five years ago. It was a pandemic that directly claimed 7.1 million lives worldwide. Experts consistently stated that handwashing, for at least 20 seconds, was the main key to stopping the spread. Signs were posted over the sinks in bathrooms reminding people to wash their hands. Hand sanitizer (not soap) and toilet paper were hard to find in stores. Either those facts don’t matter in this one Denver bar. Or with the perceived passing of the threat, the warning has been forgotten.

TikTok user Gabriella Masseran (@gabbymass) is a popular bartender in Denver. She tested a theory at her job by placing a full bottle of soap in the men’s restroom prior to a shift. At the end of the shift, which lasted 10 hours, she checked on the soap bottle.

The bottle of soap was still full.

“Out of all the guys that come in here and use the bathroom, that’s all [they] used. I’m mortified. I’m disgusted,” said Gabby.

The video, captioned “Proving guys don’t wash their hands,” currently has 188,000 views. Overwhelmingly, comment after comment proved that guys not washing their hands may be a phenomenon.

“I owned a movie theater for 5 years. We refilled the soap in the ladies room constantly. Men’s room would go a month before it needed a refill. All I could think about was how many dates I saw getting a large popcorn and sharing,” said one commenter.

Another stated, “I work in a restaurant. Can confirm, I change the men’s soap maybe once for every like 6 refills in the woman’s restroom.”

Gabby and many other TikTokers also confirmed bearing witness to guys leaving the bathroom while still actively zipping up their pants.

People from different professions—hospital workers, custodians, restaurant workers, and Airbnb owners—all shared story after story about men not washing their hands. The consensus is strong.

Why Don’t Men Wash Their Hands?

Men in the comments section defended their decision not to wash their hands. And the majority of them seemed unbothered by the vitriol.

“I don’t pee on my fingers,” one commenter said.

Another said the soap nozzle was dirty, and no amount of cleaning could make his hands clean after touching it.

“I’m not touching a pump in a restroom, get an automatic dispenser,” another stated.

Custodians chimed in to also confirm, it’s not just the men. It’s boys, too.

“Boys restrooms in schools rarely get changed from elementary to high school,” they said, referring to the soap dispensers.

Many others shared stories of men openly admitting to not washing their hands.

“I had a friend years ago tell a group of us that he doesn’t wash his hands when he goes to the bathroom because “he doesn’t have to touch it when he pees,” which explains why they p— everywhere.”

Handwashing By The Numbers

Now, of course, it is not all men. But when it comes to handwashing, studies show that only 31% of men versus 65% of women wash their hands with soap after using the restroom. While there are not many studies done to understand the gap, it is theorized that it has to do with the socialization of care. Socially and historically, women have been more concerned with care than men. Another offered theory is that “men [are] too macho to fear germs.”

Some male handwashers commented and were equally repulsed by the fact that many of their counterparts don’t wash their hands.

But other women capitalized off of the (apparent) known fact. When the women’s bathroom has no soap, they help themselves to guys’ bathroom soap.

Just a reminder that handwashing, in general, is the key to minimizing the spread of transmittable bacteria or viruses. No one gender is exempt from spreading or getting germs. So, not washing your hands is a pretty reckless act.

Before the start of the 2026 college football season, Eric Weddle was vocal about Bryce Underwood’s shortcomings as a passer. It appears to have impacted his son’s recruitment.

The Wolverines have reportedly cut contact with the safety after his father’s negative comments. He will not be attending the university in the future.

Michigan offered Weddle a scholarship in January. They are no longer recruiting him. It’s unclear if the Wolverines were a top option. They will not be considered moving forward.

Who is Gaige Weddle?

The four-star safety is the son of former NFL defensive back Eric Weddle. The elder Weddle spent played 14 pro seasons with the Chargers, Ravens, and Rams. He was a two-time All-Pro first teamer. He racked up 1179 tackles and 29 interceptions in the league.

Weddle’s son looks to follow in his footsteps. He, too, is a highly regarded defender hailing from California.

Gaige Weddle is ranked as a Top 100 player by On3, regardless of position. He holds offers from many of the sport’s major players.

Ohio State is believed to be an option. Georgia, Miami, Tennessee, USC, and Utah could be in the mix, too.

Michigan extended an offer at the beginning of the year. Weddle visited campus in April. It was there that his dad got a firsthand look at the Wolverines’ starting signal caller.

Eric Weddle trashed Bryce Underwood.

“Don’t be surprised if the backup is playing early because that Underwood kid, you know, I don’t think he could throw or play quarterback,” Weddle said in May on the Zero 2 Sixty podcast.

Michigan fans didn’t want to hear the criticism given the massive financial investment in the former No. 1 overall player. As it would turn out, Weddle’s prediction came true.

Underwood was benched in a win over Penn State. Tommy Carr appears to be the starter moving forward. Weddle took a victory lap this weekend.

“I knew it back then,” he later said on The Coach JB Show. “They knew it back then. Anyone who knows football knew it.”

There is no doubt Underwood has struggled as a college football player. He averaged 186 yards per game as a freshman with 11 touchdowns and nine picks. His sophomore year has been more of a letdown.

This year, the passer has tossed a Big Ten leading six interceptions. His offense was held scoreless in the first half against Penn State last Saturday. So, the staff made the switch.

While Eric Weddle has been reveling in his viral fame after being proven right, his son has experienced a potential repercussion.

Michigan won’t recruit Gaige Weddle.

The Detroit Free Press wrote a story on Eric Weddle’s accurate forecasting of the Wolverines’ quarterback situation. The outlet says that the school has cut communication.

He was taken aback after he realized (Head coach Kyle) Whittingham and his staff cut of contact with him and stopped recruiting Gaige. It was more difficult to understand considering the relationships he had developed over the years with multiple Michigan coaches. Weddle’s critique of Underwood seemed to have come at a personal cost.

Weddle played for Kyle Whittingham at Utah. He knows many of the assistants due to those ties. Only one, former college teammate Lewis Powell, has remained in communication.

It does not appear that Gaige Weddle will play football at Michigan. The Wolverines may have been turned off by his dad. The California prospect will look elsewhere when making his commitment decision. Michigan, for now, is off the board.

The Maryland football team fired head coach Mike Locksley on Wednesday to end his eight-year tenure. Student journalists posted up outside the facility in the aftermath hoping to grab comments from players. The police were called.

The journalists were asked to vacate the premise. They detailed the ordeal on social media.

The athletic department has received backlash for its handling of the situation. Maryland Police provided some context after the fact.

Maryland fired Mike Locksley.

The Terrapins will pay the former coach nearly $10 million to leave. The decision comes amid a 12-game Big Ten losing skid.

Locksley went 38-49 leading the football program. There were some positives, highlighted by a pair of eight-win campaigns in 2022 and 2023. Success of late has proven elusive.

Maryland is fresh off back-to-back 4-8 seasons. As a result, Locksley entered the year firmly on the hot seat. A 2-5 start cranked up the heat. The school opted to pull the plug after a loss to Rutgers.

Student journalists working for the Testudo Times began reporting from campus Wednesday morning. The team held a meeting at 11:30 AM ET to inform players of the change. The outlet attempted to gather insights from outside the facility. They were denied the opportunity.

Maryland called the cops.

Managing Editor Nolan Rogalski posted his interaction with police officers to social media. He says he and a co-worker were approached by authorities and asked to leave.

Maryland staff members supposedly photographed the duo before dispatch arrived.

Maryland Police appeared to support the students’ version of events in a statement later that afternoon.

UMPD was contacted today, October 21, 2026, about two individuals who were standing outside of Jones Hill House. Due to heightened concerns for staff and player safety around the football program in recent weeks, there has been increased security around athletics facilities. A UMPD officer approached the two individuals, learned they were with a campus media organization, recorded student IDs, and no report was taken.

UMPD and Maryland Athletics respect the First Amendment rights of all journalists reporting in public spaces.

Police confirmed that they were called to deal with the journalists “due to heightened concerns for staff and player safety around the football program in recent weeks.”

No report was filed. Police recorded their information and Student IDs. National media members blasted the athletic department online.

“Absurd overreaction. Let the student journalists do their work,” said Pat Forde of Sports Illustrated.

“If the people trusted with spending millions on Maryland’s next football coach are the people calling the cops on student reporters doing their jobs, might be time to find some new people,” wrote Andy Stapled of On3.

The sentiment was echoed by Stewart Mandel of The Athletic who posted, “Long list of schools that bully their student media. But calling the cops on them is next-level stuff.”

“This is chickens— behavior by Maryland. Your SIDs should be communicating directly to media, not hiding and calling the cops,” said Yahoo Sports writer Steven Godfrey.

After being denied the opportunity to approach players for comment, the outlet turned to students on campus. Most believed it was time for a change.

Assistant Aazaar Abdul-Rahim will take over for Locksley in the interim. He will likely finish the season as head coach. From there, a coaching search will be conducted. Hot boards across the internet are already speculating on the program’s next leader.

A woman was shocked by the price of Krispy Kreme doughnuts at Walmart. Her solution to this price hike has enraged viewers.

Prices for everyday goods have gone up dramatically.

It used to be the case that you would walk into a grocery store, get a little snack and a drink, and walk out without the feeling that you’ve just drained your savings account. Now, however, inflation has struck everything from soda to potato chips. While you can still find the occasional deal, you’re often lucky if you can fill up your stomach for less than $5.

Even things that you never thought would be expensive are going up in price. For example, how much are you willing to pay for a doughnut? One Walmart shopper recently learned her limit after a trip to the store left her shocked.

Krispy Kreme Sticker Shock At Walmart Self-Checkout

In a video with over 407,000 views, TikTok user Freya (@freyasalchemists) shows herself at a Walmart. She is standing in front of the self-checkout.

After a few seconds, she scans an 8-pack of Krispy Kreme mini doughnuts. When the price comes up on the screen, she’s audibly shocked.

“I ain’t paying no $11 for these old … doughnuts,” she says. “There’s a Krispy Kreme right down the road!”

The screen appears to show the doughnuts being sold for $9.98 for the entire package. As Freya observes, that’s over a dollar per doughnut.

Freya adds that the doughnuts were set to expire the next day. So, instead of buying the doughnuts, she films herself visiting her local Krispy Kreme and getting a single doughnut.

“Now granted, it was almost $3, but it’s fresh,” she explains.

How Much Is Krispy Kreme At The Grocery Store?

In a follow-up video, Freya notes that she had not gone shopping in this way for months. This is why the Krispy Kreme price left her astonished.

“The last time I bought an eight count of mini donuts at Walmart it was like $6, so it’s almost double the price now,” she explains. “That absolutely baffled me. The audacity to charge so much for some clumps of dough—like, what is this economy? What is this reality?”

“Everybody just seems to be normalizing this,” she continues. “It’s not normal.”

Freya is correct that the price of items in this category has increased substantially in recent years. Her video shows the 8-pack being sold for just under $10. But back in June 2020, a Krispy Kreme pack of 8 Mini Crullers was being sold for under $4.

This represents a change of +151.4%—over a period where cumulative inflation was +30.7%.

If the original price was $4, and this price kept pace with doughnut-specific inflation, its price would still be under $6—not the nearly $10 price tag that Freya saw in-store.

In an email, the TikToker told BroBible that “After I scanned the mini doughnuts the price came to [$10.39} after tax. I did not notice of the other doughnuts.”

“I have noticed an increase in grocery prices for most other groceries as well. A beef roast Costs around $25,” she added, noting that several other Krispy Kreme packages had the same expiration date. She further stated that “neither Krispy Kreme nor Wal-mart has reached out to me.”

Walmart Doughnuts Vs. Krispy Kreme

In the comments section, users offered tips to save money while still being able to enjoy a sweet treat.

“We always go to the bakery at Walmart!!” suggested a user. This user attached a screenshot showing that a 12-pack of mini doughnuts could be purchased from the Walmart bakery for under $4.

“Hear me out. Y’all are sleeping on the donuts in the Walmart bakery,” echoed another.

That said, others said that the cost of Krispy Kreme doughnuts at Walmart may be high for a reason.

Why Is Krispy Kreme So Dang Expensive At The Grocery Store?

“More expensive per donut at Krispy Kreme,” said a user. “The date is always the next day because they bring them in fresh everyday.”

The Krispy Kreme website reiterates this idea. The website reads, “Doughnuts are delivered from our local Krispy Kreme doughnut shops directly to select grocery stores near you.” While the doughnuts may not be as fresh as the ones Freya bought from the store, the Krispy Kreme doughnuts at Walmart are still likely to be pretty fresh.

Still, many commenters agreed that the price of doughnuts was simply too high.

“I think Dunkin has lost their minds. almost 3 dollars for a mini donut?!?! that’s straight robbing all of us. Ugh,” stated a commenter.

BroBible reached out to Freya via email and TikTok direct message, to Krispy Kreme via email, and to Walmart via media relations contact form.

The Joe Buck-Troy Aikman duo appears to be coming to an end.

Earlier this year, Buck signed a $100 million contract extension with ESPN, while Aikman remained in limbo on an expiring contract that won’t be resolved until after the season.

Last week, Front Office Sports reported that Aikman confronted Buck over his contract.

Via Ryan Glasspeigel/Front Office Sports

“On Monday night, before the Rams took on the Bills at SoFi Stadium, the site of this season’s Super Bowl, Buck “broke the ice” on this unspoken tension, and he and Aikman had an argument, a source said. It ultimately de-escalated, and the two had a broadcast in which viewers never would have been able to decipher that something was amiss.”

Puck’s Dylan Byers is reporting that Aikman actually cursed at Buck during their heated exchange.

Via Puck News

“There had been weeks of Troy becoming increasingly cold, difficult, short, making comments,” a source with direct knowledge of the dynamics between the two men told me. At SoFi Stadium, “Joe finally snapped,” the source continued. “He basically said, Dude, are we really going to do this? And Troy’s position was: You f-cked me over!”

On Monday night, Buck and Aikman called the Commanders-Niners game, and fans could feel the tension through the screen.

As of now, it doesn’t seem like Aikman and Buck will reunite next season.

Most people would celebrate an $11.5 million guitar sale with a stiff drink at a bar. Derek Trucks had plans to do exactly that.

Then his phone rang, and the night took a turn.

It was the night Jerry Garcia’s “Tiger” guitar sold at Christie’s in New York to one of his Ass Pocket Whiskey partners. Everyone was fired up. “We were gonna go out and have drinks,” Trucks tells BroBible in an exclusive interview. “And then I got a call from my wife.”

Cyndi Lauper lives near the Beacon Theatre, where the Tedeschi Trucks Band was in the middle of its annual residency, and she’d been coming out to shows.

She wanted to cook.

“I was like, ‘Sue, I think I’m gonna go out,'” Derek said. “She’s like, ‘Cyndi really wants you to come by. We’re making ravioli.’ And I was like, ‘Well, I can’t pass that up.'”

Any of us would have made the same call.

I heard this one at Bourbon & Beyond in Louisville, where Derek and I sat down for an episode of BroBible SIDE QUESTS with a few bottles of The Search, his annual Ass Pocket Whiskey collab with festival producer Danny Wimmer Presents. You can now buy APW’s “The Search” and other limited releases over on their website, with bottles starting at $32.50.

Trucks’ story might be the best “what I did after the auction” story ever told, especially because the following night he played Garcia’s Tiger guitar on the stage of the Beacon Theater in New York City and broke two of the strings while ripping through “Statesboro Blues.”

Here’s the clip from our conversation:

Cyndi Lauper’s Fillmore East Stories

“So I went from the Garcia guitar auction to Sue and Cyndi Lauper making an Italian dinner at her place in New York with her husband,” Derek said.

Over dinner, Cyndi started telling stories about the Fillmore East, Bill Graham’s legendary New York venue where the Allman Brothers recorded their famous live album. “First time I was at the Fillmore, I saw the Allman Brothers and Elvin Bishop,” Derek recalled her saying. “I was like, ‘What?'”

It got better. Cyndi knew Red Dog, the Allman Brothers’ legendary roadie, who Derek describes as “the quintessential roadie.”

One night, Red Dog spotted a young Cyndi backstage and assumed something. “He thought I was a background singer with Elvin Bishop,” Derek said, retelling her story, “and told me to go on stage.”

“She remembered all these stories,” Derek said.

Then Steve Earle Showed Up

The next night at the Beacon, Steve Earle came by. He and Cyndi go way back, and before long the two of them were trading Allman Brothers stories, including some about Derek’s late uncle, founding Allmans drummer Butch Trucks.

Then Cyndi asked the question every Allmans fan has wondered about for 50 years.

“She was like, ‘What did Dickey and Butchy fight about? Like tempos?'” Derek said. “And Steve Earle’s like, ‘I think it’s more than that.’ I was like, ‘I’m out of here. Let’s get a little close to home, guys.'”

Nothing like hearing two rock legends speculate about your family drama at the Beacon Theatre.

Derek is a guy who played with the Allman Brothers for 15 years, toured with Eric Clapton, and stood beside B.B. King. Even so, that week in New York stuck with him.

“That whole few days was just a whirlwind and just fascinating,” he said. “At those moments, you’re like, never thought this would happen in my lifetime.”

Dining-and-dashing is one of the most egregious events to happen to a server. However, one server was able to find a way to get even when one of the dashers left their phone behind.

In the TikTok, which garnered 147,500 views, Samantha (@misssamanthab) begins by explaining how a boy came in with a group of friends. They ordered a lot and asked for boxes, but when she returned to the table to give them out, she says the group was gone.

But then, she says she noticed that one forgot their phone. So, Samantha says she gave the phone to her manager.

A woman later came in and requested her son’s phone, Samantha continues. Samantha says the woman was quizzed in the hopes that she would “incriminate herself.” She notes that the son didn’t want to collect it himself. The manager, per Samantha, said that the reason for this was that he did a dine-and-dash with a tab of over $300.

To their shock, the mother allegedly didn’t bat an eyelid.

Her defense? They were teenagers. Apparently, this is their way of having fun, pushing boundaries, and “experimenting with the rules,” Samantha recalls.

“We looked at her and were like, ‘Ma’am that is stealing,'” Samantha adds.

“You know what’s stealing?” Samantha says the mother retorted. “The fact you won’t give me my son’s phone back.”

Things escalated when the woman calls the cops, Samantha says. Samantha says the woman accused the restaurant of withholding her son’s property. While Samantha and her manager explained what happened, the police still arrived.

When the mother told the cop what happened, he says that she pretty much called the police on herself.

Her son was in the car. The cop got him out, and he went into the restaurant, Samantha says. The boy, according to the server, acknowledged what he did. And in the end, she says his mother paid the tab. But the woman, Samantha says, made it clear she wasn’t tipping.

“Oh, really? Really, you thought I was expecting a tip after your child ran out on a $300 tab, and you said, ‘Let him experience life?'” Samantha asks. “I knew it wasn’t coming.”

In an Instagram message to BroBible, the TikToker said, “The only additional comment I’d have would be to raise your children better and not to condone bad behavior. They’re eventually going to enter the real world and be in for a rude awakening.”

‘The Mom Needs To Learn A Lesson’

Commenters couldn’t believe it. “Could the restaurant press charges? Seems like the mom needs to learn a lesson,” one suggested.

“”He’s just experimenting with the rules” and she’s teaching him there are no consequences for breaking the law????” a second pointed out.

“Well now he is experiencing life,” a third quipped. “He gets to find out that effing around lets you find out how the law works.”

A fourth remarked, “Truly unbelievable parenting. Meanwhile, some of us do NOT let our kids go out with friends until they understand that they must tip and how to calculate the tip!”

Others were less shocked.

“As a teacher the moms response didn’t surprise me in the least,” a fifth admitted. “I wrote a child up for cleaning out my prize bucket and the parent said, “Well you did buy that candy for students so why should it matter if he took it all? “”

What Are The Warning Signs Of A Dine-And-Dasher?

As previously reported by BroBible, the single biggest warning sign of a dine-and-dasher is when they order a larger amount of food that’s disproportionate to the amount they can eat. Usually, this applies best when it’s an individual dasher, but as Samantha’s story demonstrates, groups can dine-and-dash too.

Server and TikToker Sarah (@lilsaltine7) shared her encounter with a dine-and-dasher on the app.

She noted how the patron ordered “tons” of mixed drinks along with appetizers, entrees, and sides.

“If it’s like a small amount of people, and they’re ordering a ton of food, people like that are the type to dine and dash,” she told viewers.

When it came time to pay for the meal, the customer’s card declined. They then showed Sarah their banking app, proving it was empty.

“This couple overheard the whole debacle, and they were like, ‘We want to pay for his meal,'” she added. While the couple paid for the food, the manager comped the drinks.

Every great interviewer has one that got away. For best-selling author Chuck Klosterman, it was a 20-minute phone call with Tom Brady, conducted while the most decorated quarterback in NFL history drove himself to practice, at the exact moment America wanted to know what he knew about some suspiciously soft footballs.

Klosterman is the author of Football and the newly released Rock*: A Mainstream Alternative History of Alternative Mainstream Music Rock, now available on Amazon and wherever you buy books. The writer and culture critic sat down with Mike McClure for a conversation that wandered from Paul Thomas Anderson to the Beatles’ back catalog.

The stretch that’ll get people talking came when McClure brought up Brady, and Klosterman calmly walked through one of his stranger interviews for GQ in 2015. Back when this particular interview came out, we here at BroBible questioned GQ’s glazing of Brady at the time (had he not been glazed enough?), writing “GQ Names Tom Brady ‘Man Of The Year’ And Can Someone Please Tell Me Why?“

The Incredible Shrinking Access

Anyone who has chased a celebrity profile knows how this goes. You start with an invitation to the house and end up riding along in someone’s commute.

“I was supposed to go to his house, and that fell through,” Klosterman said. “And I was supposed to see him in Boston, and that fell through. And then it finally just came down that I was going to be with him on the phone for, I think, 20 minutes while he drove to practice.”

Twenty minutes is barely enough time to get through the weather. Klosterman knew he had to spend it wisely.

“I’m Cutting Right to This”

The context of this particular conversation is crucial. Deflategate grew out of the January 2015 AFC Championship Game against the Colts, and whether Brady knew anything about deflated balls was the only question anyone cared about.

“It was when Deflategate was still really in the news,” Klosterman recalled. “I asked him a few other questions, and I’m like, I’m cutting right to this. And he’s like, ‘No, I’m not going to do it. I’m not going to answer that. I can’t answer it for legal reasons.’”

The Murder Analogy

This is where Klosterman’s mind goes to work, and it’s a delight to watch.

“Well, you can’t answer it for legal reasons if there’s anything that you are hiding,” he said. “If someone accuses you of murder and a journalist comes up to you and says, ‘Did you kill your wife?’ you don’t have to go, ‘I can’t say anything.’ You can say, ‘No, I didn’t do it.’”

He had walked in expecting the easy denial, which would have opened the door to the interesting part of the story.

“All I needed him to do, and what I expected him to do, was to say, ‘I had nothing to do with this. This is crazy,’” Klosterman said. “And that would have led to a different conversation about how this happened, why this happened.”

Brady, a man who has spent 25 years reading defenses before the snap, saw that one coming and declined to take it.

“Not Really a Successful Interview”

From there, the call circled the drain.

“I just assumed he would say no when I said, were you involved with this? But he wouldn’t do that,” Klosterman said. “And then it just sort of became this escalating, kind of repetitive thing. Not really a successful interview. I wouldn’t put that among the most successful interviews of my life, but that’s what happened.”

McClure pointed out that the piece itself turned out great, which is the dirty secret of magazine writing. Sometimes the wall you hit makes for a better story than the door you were hoping to walk through.

The Move He’d Use Today

Klosterman has since developed a tactic for subjects who arrive with their guard up, and he says it worked beautifully on Kobe Bryant. He lays out the terms on the front end.

“We’re not going to have a relationship beyond this conversation,” he explained. “We are not going to become friends. I’m not going to pretend that we are. I want to ask you things that I’m legitimately interested in, and I’m just going to ask you them. And of course, you don’t have to answer them if you don’t want to, but we both know why we’re here.”

His read is that the right kind of star respects the honesty. “I think that makes them take you more seriously. It certainly did with Kobe Bryant.”

Would it have worked on Brady? We’ll never know. Klosterman figures it would work on Tom Cruise, whom he’d happily ask about Scientology, though that’s a story for the full video.

Grading Brady the Broadcaster

For the record, Klosterman holds no grudge. He’s actually bullish on Brady’s second career in the booth, especially when TB12 lets his inner film nerd out. He pointed to a recent clip where Brady explained why Randy Moss broke the usual rules for deep throws.

“He is extraordinarily good, I feel, in podcast clips,” Klosterman said. “If he decides that what he cares about is being an analyst and being a great analyst, he will be good. He will put the time in and do it.”

His one caveat is the one plenty of NFL fans share. “I think the fact that he’s a part owner of the Raiders is the most kind of complicated part of this.”

Abella Danger is now partying with UM legends.

Danger, currently enrolled at UM, revealed that she attended every Miami Hurricanes home game, including last year’s national championship game.

“I was born and raised in miami, I went to south miami middle school 5 minutes from UM where we all wore orange and green just like UM, I have dreamt of being a hurricane since i was 10 years old, my love for the Canes is UNCONDITIONAL.”

“I came to every single home game this season,” Danger said. “Every single one. I went to two out of three playoff games, and now I’m here.” Then the emotion hit all at once. “I feel so honored as a senior at the University of Miami to witness my team go to the national championship in Miami.”

Danger also recently spoke about her love for Miami football and named her favorite UM players of all time during an interview with Hard Rock Bet.

Via Hard Rock Bet

“My top three would definitely be Ed Reed, Andre Johnson, and then of course Cam Ward, who’s quarterback while I have been a student at UM. But seriously, there’s been so many great players and I mean, honorable mention Michael [Irving], like the most iconic.”

On Wednesday, Danger was seen partying with UM legend Edgerrin James while on their way to the Miami Heat home opening game.

Miami-Dade County Sheriff’s Deputy Luis Hernandez life has quickly changed since joining the UFC.

Two weeks ago, Hernandez earned himself a UFC contract on Dana White’s Contender Series.

The Sheriff’s deputy, who trains in his off time, would later win his UFC debut against veteran Sedriques Dumas on just two days’ notice.

On Wednesday, Hernandez announced he will become the first UFC fighter to sign a McDonald’s sponsorship deal.

Despite his UFC success, Hernandez told Ariel Helwani that he keeps working full-time in law enforcement.

“I am very blessed. We get to actually train on duty. We get an hour every day to train. And then the other time I use, I use my PTO time/vacation and comp time to train as well. And I’m very blessed to, you know, use the time and make up— you’re able to use it and make it. So I stay extra hours on shift. To build it, and I have a great schedule where I could train and train multiple times a day.”

“If Stipe Miocic did it, right, a firefighter, it’s time for an officer to do it, a deputy now.”

“I’m starting my career and, I’m gonna take it one day at a time. But I definitely have a lot of vacation time that I can use. And, uh, when it gets there, and, and I’ll start burning it and I’ll figure it out. And if there’s a will, there’s a way. And if I stay active how I am now, I’ll figure it out. But let’s see how many fights I get a year.”

The Cheesecake Factory offers an extensive menu that has practically anything you could desire on it. Not only are there seemingly endless options, but the chain has been known to offer large portions as well. That’s why one customer was recently let down by the size of his cheesecake—a cheesecake that cost him a whopping $13.

“They rippin us off,” the on-screen text of Oliver’s (@olliebubs09) video reads. The clip has garnered 382,200 views.

Shortly after securing his to-go bag, Oliver says he noticed the bag was a little light. “I just left The Cheesecake Factory, and I was carrying my bag to the car. … As I’m carrying the bag, I noticed it was quite light,” Oliver begins.

So when he got in his vehicle, Oliver examined his order.

“This bag feels like there’s nothing in it for me to have,” he says.

To his surprise, the piece of cheesecake he received is a small slice. “Look at this. $13. $13,” he vents.

The container has a small piece of cheesecake with cherries and two piles of whipped cream. Oliver is confused about the container choice and reflects how it used to be filled to the brim. “There was a time when this cheesecake completely filled this container,” he shares.

Oliver calls out the random pile of whipped cream taking up half of the container.

“The nerve to put a dollop of whipped cream all the way over here to make it seem like the container is full. This is garbage. Cheesecake Factory do better,” he concludes.

‘I Know You Ate That Mad’

Viewers in the comment section couldn’t believe that Oliver was charged $13 for a slice that size.

“The pieces used to be so big you could eat on it for 2 days. They are wrong for that,” one TikTok commenter wrote.

“That’s a sample,” another added.

“I know you ate that mad,” a third chimed in.

Others suggested going to Walmart or Kroger’s for a box of frozen Cheesecake Factory cheesecakes.

“I would have went back and asked for my money back. I would’ve headed straight to Walmart,” one wrote.

“Could’ve gone to Walmart or Kroger and got you a cute little sampler for under $8,” another commented.

“They’re selling us the frozen ones out of Walmart, and not the original,” a third said.

Have The Portions At The Cheesecake Factory Shrunk?

Oliver isn’t the only Cheesecake Factory customer to accuse the chain of shrinking its cheesecake slices. A man who goes by King Meel (@kingmeel93) on social media shared his disappointment with the red velvet cheesecake slice he received.

“This is missing some inches in girth,” he says. “You shrunk the cheesecake dramatically. You changed the case dramatically. Did you change the recipe?” he questioned the chain after receiving his slice.

And TikTok user Abby (@abby_vet_journey) is a Cheesecake Factory loyal customer who drives 20 minutes to get to her nearest one. She was left similarly disappointed with the Linda’s Fudge Cake slice she received.

Customers on Reddit have aired out similar complaints.

“They’re definitely smaller! I remember getting massive slices and not being able to finish them in one sitting and having to split it up over a day or two,” one claimed.

“Especially to-go slices. I used to work in the bakery and we were always told to plate the big slices and send out the smaller ones on to-go orders,” one alleged employee claimed.

“The cheesecakes used to have 8 slices in each. Now it’s 12 slices for each,” another alleged worker said.

When shrinkflation hits, the portions get smaller while the price remains the same or even goes up. Customers are understandably irritated when they feel they used to get more bang for their buck seemingly everywhere.

BroBible has reached out to The Cheesecake Factory via email and to Oliver via direct message.
