 <\/p>\n

\u27a2<\/span> A Swiss man combined his hobbies of golf and running to set a Guinness World Record by playing 252 holes of golf in 12 hours. Jurg Randegger took to the links at Ostschweizerischen Golf Club in Niederburen, Switzerland, and played through the entire course 14 times in 12 hours to beat the previous record by 31 holes. Randegger performed the feat on foot, because use of a golf cart is banned by Guinness rules. The record attempt raised money for Special Olympics Switzerland.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u27a2<\/span> A golfer was arrested on the course after a\u00a0<\/span>fight<\/span><\/a>\u00a0at Korn Ferry Tour qualifier.\u00a0 The fight erupted on the green between Austen Dailey and Luke Smith over Smith suggesting to Dailey that he help look for lost golf balls.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u27a2 <\/span>While\u00a0<\/span>JEFF BEZOS\u00a0<\/b>is preparing to launch himself into space . . . basically because he can . . . his ex-wife\u00a0<\/span>MACKENZIE\u00a0<\/b>just gave another $2.7 BILLION to various charities.\u00a0 That’s on top of the $6 billion she gave away last year.<\/span><\/p>\n

MacKenzie and her new husband Dan Jewett say they’re troubled by the increasing concentration of wealth among just a few people, and their goal is to, quote, “give away a fortune that was enabled by systems in need of change.”<\/span><\/p>\n

MacKenzie is worth roughly $60 billion.\u00a0 She and Jeff divorced in 2019, and she walked away with a 4% stake in Amazon.<\/span><\/p>\n

GOOD NEWS\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

A family in Richmond, Virginia got a shocking delivery last month.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Avery Sanford, age 18, says, \u201cI had just turned 18 and my dad came by. He had rented a trailer. He pulled up in front of the house and turned the trailer on so it dumped out all the pennies on the grass and my mom came out and was like, \u2018What are you dumping in my yard?\u2019\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

She didn\u2019t know who it was until he shouted, \u2018It\u2019s your final child support payment.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The man had dumped 80,000 pennies. Sanford adds, \u201cIt\u2019s not just my mom he\u2019s trying to embarrass, it\u2019s also me and my sister and it\u2019s upsetting that he didn\u2019t consider that before he did that.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sanford and her mom decided to turn the bad situation into a positive one by donating the money to a domestic abuse center.<\/span><\/p>\n

Guy Named “Florida” Was Busted in Florida After a Ridiculous Crime Spree<\/b><\/p>\n

We see a ton of “Florida Man” stories, but this might be the first one where the guy is a Florida Man in more ways than one:\u00a0 Some idiot went on a ridiculous crime spree near Tampa early Sunday morning.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

His full name is Lawrence Franklin King Florida.\u00a0 So it happened in Florida . . . and his last NAME is also “Florida.”\u00a0 He looks like he’s in his late 20s.\u00a0 And in the course of one night, he broke into at least seven different businesses.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

First, he got into a seafood restaurant and stole all the White Claws from their fridge . . . before throwing them in a retention pond out back. After that, he went to a barbershop a few blocks away and stole a set of clippers . . . then broke into ANOTHER barbershop nearby and stole five more sets of clippers.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Once he had enough of those, he broke into a carpet store and then a caf\u00e9, where he took $800 in cash.\u00a0 He also broke into a vet’s office, and then a separate business called Little Cat Rescue, where he stole a bunch of pain meds meant for animals.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He finally went home around 5:30 in the morning.\u00a0 But before he was done, he stole his neighbor’s Ring camera off their door.\u00a0 So they got an alert about it and called the cops.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He eventually admitted to breaking into all of the businesses and walked cops through how he did it.\u00a0 He’s facing multiple charges.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A Man Went All “Mission Impossible” to Steal . . . Some Dippin’ Dots?<\/b><\/p>\n

Police in Tyler, Texas are on the hunt for a man who broke into a mall to steal a bag of Dippin’ Dots.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To get in, the guy dropped through the ceiling like he was\u00a0<\/span>Tom Cruise\u00a0<\/b>in<\/span>“Mission Impossible”<\/i><\/b>\u00a0or something.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But he didn’t have any crazy tactical gear.\u00a0 He was wearing a polo, and pulled off the whole mission “while licking on a sucker.”\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He was also able to leave through the same hole in the ceiling where he entered.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And as far as we know, he didn’t take anything other than the Dippin’ Dots.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There’s no word on who this guy is.\u00a0 He’s still on the run. <\/span>(The Tyler Police Department has his\u00a0<\/i><\/b>photo<\/i><\/b><\/a>\u00a0on their Facebook feed.\u00a0 It’s from a security camera . . . and yes, he seems to have a sucker in his mouth.)<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The U.S. and Canada Have the Most Stressed-Out Workers in the World<\/b><\/p>\n

I guess even doing our jobs from the couch for a full year didn’t make us more relaxed at work.\u00a0 Because a new Gallup\u00a0<\/span>poll<\/b><\/a>\u00a0found Canada and the U.S. have some of the most STRESSED-OUT workers in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

They broke it down by region, not by country.\u00a0 So they lumped the U.S. and Canada together.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And overall, 57% said that a significant part of their workday is stressful.\u00a0 That’s the highest in the world.\u00a0 The global average is 43%, and it’s only 39% in Europe.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It also found women deal with more on-the-job stress every day . . . 62% said yes, compared to 52% of men.\u00a0 And young people feel more stressed out at work than older people do.<\/span><\/p>\n

          Soccer star <\/span>CRISTIANO RONALDO\u00a0<\/b>made the value of Coca-Cola drop by $4 BILLION . . . and it only took him 20 SECONDS.<\/span><\/p>\n

           <\/p>\n

          The 2020 UEFA European Football Championship is happening right now, and Coke is a major sponsor.\u00a0 On Monday, Ronaldo sat down for a press conference, and there were two bottles of Coke on the table in front of him.<\/span><\/p>\n

           <\/p>\n

          He moved them off-camera, then held up his water bottle and said, “Agua” . . . which means “water” in Portuguese.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>(Here’s\u00a0<\/i><\/b>video<\/i><\/b><\/a>.)<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

           <\/p>\n

          After he did that, shares of Coca-Cola just HAPPENED to drop 1.6%, from $56.17 to $55.22, reducing Coke’s market value from $242 billion to $238 billion . . . a $4 billion loss.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

           <\/p>\n

          As of yesterday morning, it was even lower . . . at just over $236 billion.<\/span><\/p>\n

          TYLER HUBBARD GOT HIS KIDS’ ‘HEAD NODDIN” APPROVAL ON ‘UNDIVIDED’\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

          Tyler Hubbard<\/b>\u00a0co-wrote and sings on\u00a0<\/span>Tim McGraw<\/b>\u2019s latest single, \u201cUndivided,\u201d but before it made its way to Tim it got the approval of Tyler’s three kids under the age of three. He tells us they’re a great litmus test as to whether a song has hit potential, and when he played them “Undivided” their reaction was very positive.<\/span><\/p>\n

          Tyler explains:\u00a0<\/span>[\u201cLet\u2019s just say a whole lot of head noddin\u2019.\u00a0 It\u2019s fun. \u201cIt\u2019s a fun litmus test, because every song I write I take home to the kids, and sometimes they just sit there like a deer in the headlights, and I\u2019m like, \u2018Okay. This is uhhh, not a hit. Okay, perfect. Thanks a lot.\u2019 But most of the time they get to movin\u2019.\u00a0 And it\u2019s really funny how they just love it. They just love music.\u201d] SOUNDCUE<\/b>\u00a0(:15 OC: . . . just love music.)<\/span><\/p>\n

          Garth Brooks Is Touring Again, and He Won’t Raise Ticket Prices<\/b><\/p>\n

          Some artists have already postponed their return to the road until NEXT year . . . but not\u00a0GARTH BROOKS. \u00a0He’s moving full-steam ahead, and his tickets are\u00a0<\/span>selling like crazy<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

          But COVID-19 isn’t over, and musical acts will be saddled with extra expenses to help ensure the health and safety of fans.<\/span><\/p>\n

          Some musicians might raise ticket prices to cover those costs, but Garth isn’t.\u00a0 An average ticket is still going for around $95 . . . just like they were pre-pandemic.<\/span><\/p>\n

          He\u00a0<\/span>said<\/span><\/a>, quote, “You’re either going to make an absurd amount of money or you’re going to make a lesser absurd amount of money . . . I can’t imagine raising the ticket prices to make sure [I] keep making the absurd amount of money. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

          “My thing is:\u00a0 If we make 100% of each ticket . . . and because of the Covid regulations and restrictions that we have to put in and pay for, we make 95% . . . I’m more than OK with that.”<\/span><\/p>\n

          Garth also refused to talk about what happens if things get bad again, and he gets shut down.\u00a0 He said his managers have a plan, but he’s focused on looking forward.<\/span><\/p>\n
