If there's one thing that will never change about celebrities, it's their penchant for self-destruction. There's a psychological phenomenon called "the call of the void" where some people feel compelled to jump off cliffs. Apparently there's also a phenomenon called "the call of the bottle" where some celebrities feel compelled to drink and drive, and it seems a lot more common. Learn more about your ad choices.

TV news viewership is at record lows but their profits are at record highs. How is this possible? If we knew, we'd probably be doing it.

Grandparents being involved in their grandkids' lives seems to be a generational and cultural thing. If your grandpa had such bad PTSD that he couldn't be trusted around kids, that's a bad indicator. On the other hand, in some cultures it's not unusual to put your parents in a suite on the third floor. Probably a lot of spending time with the kids in those households. The real difficulty is less spending time and more picking a name. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Remember when making fun of people for talking about Crossfit was all the rage? Not any more. It's been forgotten. Much like in a few years we'll all hopefully forget about companies dousing everything in pepper spray. If a nice pastrami sandwich doesn't have enough flavor for you, that's a "you" problem.

Legal quiz: what happens if you hit someone with your car while under the influence? The correct answer, as is always the case with law, is "it depends". In this case it apparently depends on how much the judge likes you. To be safe, we recommend not drunk driving at all.

That's why I'm hopping into my federally-mandated electric vehicle and driving until my car runs out of juice. Unfortunately, I'll still be in the same state at that point.
