A drunken 19-year-old man broke into an Airbnb in Milwaukee where three police officers were staying.  The sheriff’s deputies took it upon themselves to TikTok the bizarre experience for everyone to see. 

TikTok user, Ami Addison, took part in a trend where you reveal the insane way you found out your ex-spouse was cheating on you.  Here she is explaining how a birth announcement exposed her then husband. 

Skydiving definitely comes with some risks, and some of them are closer to the ground than you might think. A skydiver’s parachute got tangled in some power lines around in Riverside County, California. 

The fire department posted about the incident on Twitter, noting the individual was stuck dangling in the wires 30 feet above the ground. Workers for the power company cut the power to the lines and helped get the skydiver down using their bucket lift. The parachuter was stuck up there for an hour while crews worked to rescue him. The fire department says the man was taken to an area hospital after being rescued due to minor injuries.

This guy translated some of the tired cliches that companies are always using . . . but they really mean something else.  Listen to a few of them, here

(The source clip is Part Two.  There are four on his TikTok.)

 

TODAY IS……………….

  • “Cheese Day”, celebrated on the anniversary of the creation of Roquefort cheese, made from ewes’ milk and ripened in a cave near Roquefort, France in the year 1070. It’s the perfect excuse to indulge yourself with a slice of your favorite.  
  • “Donut Day”, honoring the Salvation Army ‘Lassies’ of WWI who served donuts to thousands-upon-thousands of soldiers. It’s now used as a fund-raiser for the Sally Ann’s needy causes. Many donut stores offer freebies today. The official dictionary spelling of the word is “doughnut.” The Americanized spelling of “donut” caught on in the late 1900s.

GOOD NEWS 

An eight-year-old Virginia boy who is a Pokemon fanatic get a surprise from the company after he sold his Pokemon cards collection to help pay for medical care for his sick puppy.

 

Bryson Kliemann took it upon himself to sell his Pokeman cards when he heard that the puppy, named Bruce, would need treatment, with his mother, Kimberly Woodruff, explaining, “While I’m in school I get a text message with a picture of him and a sign on the side of the road selling Pokemon cards.” 

 

Woodruff posted the photo online and started a GoFundMe, which raised $5,000, far more than the $800 goal. After getting treatment, Bruce returned home. Pokeman employees based in Washington state heard about what Bryson had done, and they sent him a package of rare Pokemon cards that are hard to find in stores.

Bunch of Cows Stopped a High-Speed Chase

A guy in northern Wisconsin got caught with an expired registration earlier this week and decided to run.

Police chased him for 13 miles before he went off the road and tried to drive through a field.

But he didn’t get far . . . because a huge wall of COWS stopped him.

Luckily he didn’t hit any of them, and no people were hurt either.

Cops posted a photo on Facebook of the cows checking out the guy’s car after he’d been arrested.  And they joked that he encountered a, quote, “MOOOving blockade.”

They also thanked their police department’s “Bovine Unit” for helping them out.   

 

A Guy Running from the Cops Tried to Hide in a Police Station

If you’re running from the cops and try to hide out in a building, maybe check the sign outside first . . .

A suspected drug dealer in England was trying to outrun the police in his car yesterday, and decided to bail and take off on foot.

But they were right behind him, so he ran inside a random building to hide.

And that building ended up being . . . a POLICE STATION.

It sounds like he trashed the lobby when he realized his mistake, and they had to close it down for a few hours to clean up.

But yesterday afternoon, they announced on Twitter that it was open to the public again . . . and for, quote, “anyone looking to hide from police.”

Obviously the guy got arrested.  He’s facing drug charges.

 

CAR STOLEN – TWICE 

A woman’s car was stolen twice in a single day and one of those times was after D.C. police had found it and contacted her.  Here is Yasmin breaking down what happened. (It took so long to get towed, it got stolen a second time.)

FRIDAY JUNE 4TH  

 

  1.   BOS 2 – NYI 1 OT  (BOS 2-1) CAR 3 – TBL 2 OT (TBL 2-1)

 

White Sox 4  Tigers 1

 

  1.   Chance the Rapper saidhe’s working on a reboot of “Home Alone” that might be called “Hood Alone”.  The comedy will still take place in Chicago but will center on two kids instead of one, with a more realistic storyline.  

 

  1.   This woman has a foolproof trick to use in case you forgot someone’s name.  Listen to her reveal it, here.  

(It does require a third person.  You ask if they’ve met, and then let them do their own introductions.)

 

  1.   Are you ever bothered by the way some restaurants will ruin a perfect dish by putting stuff on it you don’t like?  Here’s Brian Regan on that subject.  (From his 2021 Netflix special, “On the Rocks”.)

 

National Doughnut Day is celebrated on the first Friday of June.  Historical records show that in the mid-19th century, the Dutch began making a treat known as olykoeks (oil cakes).  These were balls of cake, that were cooked in pork fat until they were golden brown.  The problem with these treats was that the cake cooked much faster on the outside than on the inside, leaving an uncooked center when the outside was done.  In 1847, an American ship captain named Hansen Gregory came up with a solution.  Rather than dealing with the gooey, uncooked center, he just punched a hole through the center of the dough, eliminating it altogether. 

 

BRETT YOUNG DROPS ‘WEEKENDS LOOK A LITTLE DIFFERENT THESE DAYS’ TODAY

Brett Young’s new project, Weekends Look a Little Different These Days, is due out today (Friday, June 4th). It includes the recent chart-topping hit “Lady” as well as Brett’s new single, “Not Yet.”

Weekends Look a Little Different These Days shares Brett’s latest chapter in life, which includes being a husband and dad to toddler daughter Presley, with another daughter on the way this fall. While the eight-song collection touches on this special phase of his life, Brett tells us it’s not all about wives and babies. [“The whole thing was impacted by family. I mean, that was inevitable at this stage in my life if I wanted to continue the kind of quest for authenticity as a songwriter, I would’ve had to let myself be affected by this stage in my life. But, I think the bigger obstacle for me wasn’t so much that, but it was making sure that while I was chasing that down, I wasn’t alienating any fans that weren’t new parents or weren’t newly married.  You know, you can’t just put out a nursery rhymes record because that’s the stage of life that you’re in, so I was also really conscious of making sure there was something for everybody.”] 

Brett’s headlining The Weekends Tour is set to open on September 11th with back-to-back nights in Fort Worth, TX. The 33-city trek features special guests Maddie & Tae and Filmore with Ryan Hurd and Matt Ferranti on select shows.
