If there was ever a sign of having TOO MUCH MONEY, this is it.<\/p>\n

A guy in Silicon Valley, California pays $1,500 a month so two\u00a0cats\u00a0can have their own apartment.\u00a0 They’re his daughter’s, but she couldn’t keep them in her college dorm in L.A.\u00a0 And he couldn\u2019t keep them at his place, because they don’t get along with his dog.\u00a0 So he rented an apartment for them, in the most expensive real estate market in the country.\u00a0 It’s 400 square feet, and doesn’t have a bathroom.\u00a0 Here’s the landlord, who says the housing market is crazy, and the cats are living large.<\/p>\n

A video\u00a0of two teenagers in Illinois trying to figure out how to use a rotary phone is getting some attention.\u00a0 It took the pair more than a minute simply to recognize that Step 1 involved lifting the receiver and they don’t realize you need to spin the rotary all the way round, and every time they mess up, they think they have to ‘reset’ the phone by lifting the receiver and hanging it up again.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cWhat\u2019s with all the holes?\u201d one says before finally realizing you have to stick your finger in a numbered hole and spin the rotary mechanism to dial a specific number.<\/p>\n

STEVE CARELL<\/strong>\u00a0and the people behind\u00a0“The Office”<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0are developing a Netflix comedy series called\u00a0“Space Force”<\/strong><\/em>, which was inspired by\u00a0President Trump’s<\/strong>\u00a0idea to make a space-oriented, sixth branch of the military.<\/p>\n

Steve will star on the show, which is simply being called\u00a0“Space Force”<\/em>.\u00a0 It’ll be a, “workplace comedy about the people tasked with creating the Space Force.”<\/p>\n

Steve has been doing a lot of “serious” movie roles recently, so this must be a project that he REALLY believes in.\u00a0 Well that and the\u00a0“Hollywood Reporter”<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0says he’s getting MORE THAN $1 MILLION PER EPISODE.<\/p>\n

Fugitive Tries to Fool the Cops by Writing “I’m Not Here” on a Mattress<\/u><\/strong> . . .<\/p>\n

There’s a 40-year-old guy named Jesse Pack from Bunnell, Florida, and he had a warrant out for kidnapping and assault charges.<\/p>\n

Well . . . when the cops went to his house on Sunday, the woman there said Jesse was gone, and he’d left them a message.<\/p>\n

Jesse had written on a MATTRESS in orange magic marker, quote, “I know my warrant is active.\u00a0 I’m not here, I am finishing a job and turning myself in.”<\/p>\n

For some reason, the cops weren’t totally convinced . . . maybe Jesse should’ve had the mattress notarized?\u00a0 So they asked the woman if they could search the house and she said yes.<\/p>\n

And . . . the cops found Jesse curled up in the fetal position inside a dresser.<\/p>\n

Car Thieves Are Busted When They Stop to Ask a Cop for Gas<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

A woman and two men in Leduc, Alberta stole a car on Friday . . . but as they drove it down the highway, they ran out of gas.\u00a0 So they pulled over to the side of the road . . . right in front of a COP CAR.<\/p>\n

And then the woman got out and asked the cop for help.<\/p>\n

As he was talking to her, he figured out she had an outstanding warrant . . . and then he noticed the two guys in the car were trying to hide.<\/p>\n

And that’s when the cop finally realized the car was stolen.\u00a0 Then, when he searched it, he found one kilogram of meth and 85 grams of cocaine. All three of the people in the car were arrested.<\/p>\n

TODAY\u2019S GOOD NEWS<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

A pregame snowstorm didn\u2019t slow the\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs against the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday, but it made game day stressful for one Chiefs player.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Backup guard\u00a0JEFF ALLEN\u00a0got stuck in the snow while driving to the game. A Good Samaritan with a truck helped him out of the bind, and Allen made it to the playoff game without further trouble.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Allen wanted to reward the man for his help, but there was a problem. He didn\u2019t get his contact information. He reached out on Twitter for help to identify the man he knew only as Dave, while noting that his helper didn\u2019t realize he was a Chiefs player when he gave him a hand.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To nobody\u2019s surprise, Twitter supplied plenty of volunteers looking to cash in on Allen\u2019s offer of AFC championship game tickets. But Allen wrote on Sunday that he tracked down the right Dave. A TV station in Kansas City connected with Dave, who told him he lives in his truck. \u201cAfter I got done helping him, he told me he was a Chiefs player, I didn\u2019t look at him as no Chiefs player. I just looked at him as a normal person. I would hope that he\u2019d do the same for me as I did for him.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dave said that he didn\u2019t expect anything in return, but when he got the news of the Chiefs tickets, it made him emotional.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s a natural habit for me is to help people,\u201d Dave said. \u201cI wasn\u2019t expecting anything in return.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s like a dream come true. I\u2019d seen the message this morning. And I\u2019m not even gonna fake with you. Call me soft if you want to home boys, but I started bawling.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gillette’s New Commercial Addresses “Toxic Masculinity”<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

If you haven’t seen it, a new Gillette commercial called “We Believe” has gone viral.\u00a0 It’s a response to the #MeToo movement and it asks men to “shave their toxic masculinity.”\u00a0 It’s filled with clips of men and boys misbehaving in ways that are no longer accepted.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Stuff like bullying, mansplaining, and sexual harassment. \u00a0Then they go back to those scenes and have men step in and change that behavior.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There’s even a clip of Terry Crews testifying before the Senate saying “men need to hold other men accountable.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It also re-frames Gillette’s classic line, “The Best a Man Can Get” by asking, quote, “Is this the best a man can get? \u00a0Is it? \u00a0We can’t hide from it. \u00a0It has been going on far too long. \u00a0We can’t laugh it off, making the same old excuses.”<\/p>\n

                  There’s one song in particular that came to him soon after the kid was born.\u00a0\u00a0Quote, “I wrote a song [while] we were in the hospital room with him.\u00a0 It’s one of those things that it’s something I don’t think God made words for . . .<\/p>\n

                  “So writing a song about it is harder than I ever thought it would be but [I’m] really proud of it.”<\/p>\n

                  He says he’s so deep into that family place that he might have to dip into his memory vault for future albums.<\/p>\n

                  Quote, “After this record here, we’re probably going to have to reminisce a good bit on records because nobody wants to hear a whole [album] about washing clothes and taking care of a baby.”<\/p>\n

                  There’s no release date on the new album, but it’ll be out sometime this year.<\/p>\n
