\u27a2 <\/span>Two Arizona teens helped put out a brush fire near a major highway.\u00a0 19-year-old Gabriel Carrillo and 18-year-old Evelyn Williams used their feet and hands to put out the fire and a\u00a0<\/span>30-pack of beer<\/span><\/a>\u00a0to make sure it didn’t spread.\u00a0 Here’s Gabriel talking about what happened.\u00a0 (For the record, a man driving to the lake with his boat stopped to help and they used HIS 30-pack to put it out.\u00a0 The beer wasn’t the teen’s.)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u27a2<\/span> A young Lamborghini owner in China got his 5 minutes of online fame by trying to barbecue meat with the car\u2019s fiery exhaust \u2014 and incurring about $80,000 in repair costs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A viral video shows a group of men gathered around the orange Lamborghini Aventador (MSRP: $418,000), to witness the cooking of what might be the world\u2019s most expensive pork. The driver keeps pressing the acceleration pedal of the parked car, while his smiling friend holds the skewer of meat to the exhaust, which spits flames as it is revved. What could go wrong?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As it turns out, Lamborghinis\u2019 extreme power makes them prone to overheating, at least when one keeps hitting the throttle while parked. No sooner does the guy start getting a nice char on his kebob, does the Lamborghini erupt in a cloud of smoke, sending him running. The Lamborghini appears to have overheated, dumping all its coolant out. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u27a2<\/span> An \u201cinvisible\u201d sculpture created by Italian artist Salvatore Garau has been acquired by a private collector who paid a whopping 15,000 euros (US $18,300) for it at auction. Titled \u201cI am,\u201d the invisible work of art basically represents a void, a technically empty space that is actually occupied by the \u201cenergy\u201d of the sculpture. But if it seems to you that the buyer walked away with nothing, you\u2019d be wrong. He or she will receive a certificate of authenticity that proves \u201cI Am\u201d is the property of the buyer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                Five Things You Should Do Every Morning If You Want More Energy<\/b><\/p>\n

                If you’re feeling run-down and tired lately, you aren’t alone.\u00a0 Even when you’ve gotten plenty of sleep, you might feel sluggish.\u00a0 So here are a few tips to help you find a little more energy during the day . . .<\/span><\/p>\n

                 <\/p>\n

                  \n
                1. First thing in the morning, take ten breaths.\u00a0 Just closing your eyes and focusing on your breathing can be an effective way to slow down and start your day more relaxed.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                   <\/p>\n

                    \n
                  1. Hydrate.\u00a0 A lot of experts say to drink a glass of water first thing in the morning, even if you’re not thirsty.\u00a0 Coffee counts too, but make sure you get enough water as well.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                     <\/p>\n

                      \n
                    1. Exercise.\u00a0 It’s hard to find the motivation to work out in the morning.\u00a0 But people who do it tend to be more active throughout the day too.\u00a0 So, it only leads to good things.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                       <\/p>\n

                        \n
                      1. Make sure you’re eating enough.\u00a0 A breakfast that’s high in protein and healthy fats can help maintain energy levels throughout the day.\u00a0 But don’t eat too much sugar.\u00a0 Too much in the morning can cause a crash later on.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                         <\/p>\n

                          \n
                        1. Ignore your phone.\u00a0 When you check your phone or email first thing, you’re letting someone else dictate the start of your day.\u00a0 And boundaries are important.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                           <\/p>\n

                          But I really like the stuff that finished lower on the list.\u00a0 The 14th most common thing people do is jump up and down . . . the 16th most common is sing . . . and the 17th most common is SLAP THEMSELVES in the FACE.<\/span><\/p>\n

                          Toothpaste Tablets Are Going Viral<\/b><\/p>\n

                          An estimated 1.5 billion toothpaste tubes are discarded into landfills every year worldwide, and a lot of that plastic ends up in the ocean.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                           <\/p>\n

                          But rather than reinvent the tubes themselves, a unique solution to the plastic pandemic is rising in popularity zero-waste toothpaste tablets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                           <\/p>\n

                          Often packaged in reusable aluminum or glass jars, toothpaste tablets are essentially toothpaste in a powdered form that’s pressed into a pill-sized tablet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                           <\/p>\n

                          Using them requires chewing a single tablet and letting it dissolve into a paste with a little help from saliva, or a swig of water before brushing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                           <\/p>\n

                          In hopes of mitigating plastic pollution, more and more consumers are saying goodbye to tubes altogether and instead, adding these eco-friendly toothpaste tablets to their daily oral care routine.<\/span><\/p>\n

                          Scientists Figured Out Why the Sound of People Eating Annoys Us So Much<\/b><\/p>\n

                          There’s a reason your parents told you to chew with your mouth shut.\u00a0 It’s not just rude, it’s also ANNOYING.\u00a0 And scientists may have finally figured out why we hate it so much . . .<\/span><\/p>\n

                           <\/p>\n

                          People who get REALLY annoyed by it have something called misophonia.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                          (Pronounced miss-oh-FONE-ee-uh)<\/i><\/b>\u00a0 That’s where common sounds like chewing or heavy breathing can drive you nuts. Researchers at Newcastle University in England scanned people’s brains while they played different sounds that might trigger a reaction.\u00a0 And for people who have the condition, certain parts of their brain lit up MUCH more than people who don’t have it.<\/span><\/p>\n

                           <\/p>\n

                          One section that lit up was the part of your brain that processes sound, which makes sense.\u00a0 And that happened with everyone, even people who aren’t extra-sensitive to it.<\/span><\/p>\n

                           <\/p>\n

                          But some people’s brains also showed hyperactivity in the premotor cortex, which is an area of the brain that’s responsible for moving your mouth and throat.<\/span><\/p>\n

                           <\/p>\n

                          In other words, hearing someone chew their food can activate the part of your brain that wouldn’t usually kick in unless YOU were chewing.<\/span><\/p>\n

                           <\/p>\n

                          So for people with misophonia, it can feel like an intrusion.\u00a0 And it can give them the urge to chew or swallow, even though they’re not eating.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Luke tells us:\u00a0<\/span>[\u201cThe<\/b>\u00a0Farm Tour\u00a0<\/i><\/b>has grown throughout the years, and the fact that we can set a stage up in a hayfield or some kind of field and people flock to it is what I envisioned when I created\u00a0<\/b>Farm Tour<\/i><\/b>, and then obviously help some kids with scholarships and stuff like that. But the\u00a0<\/b>Farm Tour<\/i><\/b>\u00a0just really an exciting time to be able to just be out on a farm on a Fall night. Sometimes it\u2019s cool and everybody\u2019s got, it\u2019s perfect jacket weather and everybody\u2019s just enjoying music and having fun, and it\u2019s happening in these little towns.”]\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

It\u2019s just funny, like my kids will wake up and will be like, \u2018Daddy, let\u2019s go hang out in Narnia for a little bit.\u2019 That was one of my favorite memories of this last year and something that I think we\u2019ll be using for a long time.\u201d]\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

                                  Quote<\/span><\/a>, “I’m really sad to share that because of personal circumstances I won’t be able to perform with Lady A and Carly Pearce at the ‘CMT Music Awards’.\u00a0 I’ll be rooting for you guys and all of the incredibly talented nominees and performers.”<\/span><\/p>\n

                                  Hopefully it’s nothing serious.\u00a0 She did add that she’ll be “seeing y’all on the road this summer.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
