How is Jim Gaffigan as a father? Hear it from one of his kids
You know how Jim Gaffigan is forever complaining about his kids? On this Father's Day, it seems only right that we give one of his offspring equal time.
Hi, I'm Patrick Gaffigan. We are giving my dad the day off this Sunday. Not that whatever he does on this show should be considered work.
Patrick Gaffigan, the youngest of the Gaffigan clan.

In full disclosure, I don't watch "CBS Sunday Morning," but then again, I'm not the demographic. I understand everyone loves this show and it's won a bunch of awards, but when I've watched, it just seems like a long commercial. Sorry.
I am aware my Dad occasionally comes on this show and complains about how difficult it is to be the father of five children. Boo hoo! Waa-waa! I wonder whose fault that is?
Here's a hint: It's his.
Well, today I'm here to present a rebuttal. I'd like to talk to you about the struggles of being one of the offspring of this guy.
Having Jim Gaffigan as a dad is not all rainbows and hot pockets, folks. He's too strict, talks too much about his garden, and often smells like cheese.
I could go on, but my biggest issue is when people tell me I look like my dad. "Oh, you look just like your father." Are you trying to ruin my day? I know I look like my dad, and it's probably why I smoke cigars. [Don't tell my parents that.]

The Murder Of Junko Furuta, A Man "Eaten Alive" By A Sinkhole, And A Bunch Of Other Terrifying Things You Should Know About
Hello! I'm Crystal, and you've landed on my weekly roundup of creepy, macabre, and horrible AF things I really wanted to share with like-minded folks (like you)! And if you looooove this kind of content, you should subscribe to my official That Got Dark newsletter to get your weekly dopamine fix of the macabre delivered RIGHT to your inbox! Now, fair warning, because this is a weekly newsletter, just know this article won't be formatted like your typical ~BuzzFeed style~ list. Related: Each week, we'll be highlighting these topics: 💀Terrible, Dark, and Shocking Things I Learned This Week 👀Creepiest Towns Across America 👽Weird Wiki of the Week 🪦Famous Death Anniversary 🔪Your Weekly Horror Movie Recommendation 🍕An Original Illustration of Serial Killers' Last Meals, by Yours Truly So, lock the doors and turn on a flashlight, it's time to dive into some dark stuff... If you need to add a new fear in your life, I have the perfect one for you: being eaten alive by a sinkhole. In 2013, a man in Florida named Jeffrey Bush was 'swallowed alive' by a 17-foot-wide SINKHOLE that had formed under his bedroom in the middle of the night, while he was sleeping. And, yes, you read that right…UNDER. HIS. BEDROOM. Apparently, the floor collapsed beneath Jeffrey, and he fell down into the void along with a dresser, TV, and most of his bed set. His brother, Jeremy, tried to save him, but said it was too late by the time he rushed in to help. Jeremy told reporters that all he could see was cable wire running from the TV down into the sinkhole, and a corner of Jeffrey's Bed. Jeffrey's body was NEVER recovered. Related: Occasionally, I like to ask the BuzzFeed Community to tell me about the most mysterious, cult-like, bad-vibes towns in the United States they've ever been to. And you'd be shocked at how many responses I get each time (or maybe not). This week's spotlight: Mack, Colorado 'Once we had to stop here for do this! Real The Hills Have Eyes vibes. We immediately turned around because of the bad vibes, but got stuck by a passing train. When we returned, a woman, rail-thin with missing teeth, yelled, 'Fill up, I'll open up!' So I started getting gas and noticed the 1980s-style pump had a piece of tape tripping the price. I go past the foul garbage can with flies everywhere and open the door to a horror movie. To my right, a boy eating cereal at a table stops and stares desperately at me. All the store racks were covered with plastic, and dolls were hanging from the rafters. As the woman started yelling, 'You didn't fill up!' I noticed a paper saying, 'Where are you from?' I dropped a 20 to cover my gas. We drove off only to be stopped by the train again. Just as it cleared the road, I saw the woman with other devil's reject types running after the car. Luckily, we got out of there, so I can warn you all!" —Anonymous Related: Wikipedia is like the Wild West. It's vast, lawless, and sometimes you can find some extremely weird (and horrifying) things out there. This week's spotlight: The murder of Junko Furuta. Warning: This is an extremely graphic story. Junko Furuta was a Japanese high school student who was abducted, raped, tortured, and then subsequently murdered in 1989 by four teenage boys over the course of 44 days. Some of the horrific acts she was subjected to included being repeatedly burned, beaten, forced to drink her own urine, and set on fire. Her case was often referred to as the "concrete-encased high school girl murder case," because her body was discovered packed in concrete inside a dumped oil drum. The case became widely known not only due to the extremely graphic nature of the repeated beatings and sexual assaults she endured, but also the belief from the public that the perpetrators received lenient sentences. Bruce Lee — Died: July 20, 1973. Cause of Death: Cerebral edema (swelling of the brain). How he died: Lee died on July 20, 1973, at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Hong Kong after being found unconscious on the floor of his apartment. He was 32 years old. Interestingly, at the time of his death, Lee had been in the process of working on a film called Game of Death. Because Lee had only shot roughly 40 minutes of footage before he died, the filmmakers opted to finish the film by using stand-ins, recycled scenes from some of his previous works, and even used real-life footage of Lee in his casket (as seen above) for a scene where the character in the film fakes his own death. Related: Night Stalker: The Hunt for a Serial Killer (2021) What it's about: A four-part true‑crime documentary miniseries covering the terrifying 1984–85 murder spree of Richard Ramirez, infamously known as the 'Night Stalker.' Why you should watch it: This is from a few years ago, but if you missed it, I HIGHLY recommend you get on that. It's a deeply fascinating story told through the eyes of the detectives who actually chased Ramirez. Where you can watch it: Streaming for free on Netflix. David Alan Gore Gore was a serial killer who committed six brutal murders in Florida between 1981 and 1983. He was often accompanied by his cousin, Fred Waterfield, and together they were given the moniker the "Killing Cousins." They would abduct, rape, and murder women and teenage girls, often using Gore's position as an auxiliary sheriff's deputy to lure victims. Gore was arrested after a failed escape attempt by 17-year-old Lynn Elliott, whose murder led to his capture. He was executed by lethal injection in 2012 after spending 28 years on death row. His last meal: Fried chicken, French fries, and butter pecan ice cream. Well, I think it's time we shut it down for the week. In the next issue, I'll talk about a sleepwalking killer and the tragic story of a feral child that will scar you for life (so be sure to subscribe below)! Until then, stay safe, keep the lights on, and I'll see you for another horrifying trip down the rabbit hole… Do you have a weird, creepy, or shocking story you want to share?

5 great Pedro Pascal movies to stream
Few actors have had a run quite like the one that Pedro Pascal is on right now. The actor, who rose to fame on Game of Thrones and has since become a dominant presence in both film and television, is starring in three movies this summer, including Fantastic Four: First Steps, Materialists, and Eddington. He's also coming off of the second season of The Last of Us, which means you've had just an insane number of opportunities to watch him on screen. If you're hungry for more, though, we've got you covered with five older movies from Pascal that are all available to stream now: Gladiator II (2024) Although Pascal is not the lead of Gladiator II, he plays a central role in the film as a Roman general who is secretly working to take down the corrupt emperors that he publicly serves. Here, Pascal gets a chance to play an upright hero, and it's a part he fills well. Recommended Videos He's a perfect counterpoint to Paul Mescal's more selfish Lucius, who spends most of the movie convinced that he's after personal vengeance. Although it can't live up to the original, Gladiator II is boosted by Pascal's presence. You can watch Gladiator II on Paramount Plus. The Wild Robot (2023) If there's a running theme on this list, Pascal is always more than willing to play second fiddle. Here, he's doing it in a vocal performance, playing the closest animal companion of the titular robot, a conniving fox who ultimately partners with her to raise a runty goose. The Wild Robot is Lupita Nyong'o's show, but Pascal is both funny and moving as a fox who keeps having to convince himself that he doesn't actually care about anything besides himself. You can watch The Wild Robot on Netflix. The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (2022) There's a little too much going on in The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, but every scene that Pascal and Nicolas Cage share together is golden. The film follows Cage as he's recruited to infiltrate the compound of one of his biggest fans, who also happens to be the head of a criminal empire. Pascal plays the head of that empire and spends most of the movie telling Cage how much he loves his movies. It's a hilarious, utterly winning performance that has to be charming enough to convince Cage that this guy might not be so bad after all. You can watch The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent on Amazon Prime Video. Triple Frontier (2019) One of the great dudes-rock movies of the past decade, Triple Frontier tells the story of a group of former special operations operatives who reunite to plan a master heist after finding that their home lives are at a dead end. As they undertake the mission, things don't go according to plan, leading to predictably terrible results. Pascal is just one member of a crew that also includes Oscar Isaac and Ben Affleck, but he stands out as an actor with an incredible amount of natural presence. You can watch Triple Frontier on Netflix. If Beale Street Could Talk (2018) Pascal only has a single scene in Barry Jenkins' If Beale Street Could Talk, but it's one of the best scenes in an incredible movie. The movie focuses on a Black woman who is dealing with the aftermath of her partner's arrest even while preparing for the arrival of their first child. Pascal shares his scene with Regina King, who plays the main character's mother. As she goes to him to plead for help for her son-in-law, they share an intimate, heartbreaking exchange that reveals the depths to which Pascal can go, even with limited screen time. You can watch If Beale Street Could Talk on Plex.

Friday Music Guide: New Music From Alex Warren, Jessie Murph, BTS and More
Billboard's Friday Music Guide serves as a handy guide to this Friday's most essential releases — the key music that everyone will be talking about today, and that will be dominating playlists this weekend and beyond. This week, Alex Warren is far from 'Ordinary,' Jessie Murph delivers on her promise and BTS bring us back to live. Check out all of this week's picks below: More from Billboard GloRilla Turns Up Indianapolis With Fiery 2025 WNBA All-Star Game Halftime Show Performance Mariah Carey Teases 'Sugar Sweet' Summer Single Billie Eilish and James Cameron 3D Collaboration in the Works Alex Warren, With the success of 'Ordinary' eclipsing even the wildest expectations, Alex Warren now has the opportunity to establish an enduring foothold in popular music — and You'll Be Alright, Kid, a new album that features his No. 1 smash as well as previously released collaborations with Jelly Roll and ROSÉ, fleshes out the boom and gravel of his voice, with opener 'Eternity' in particular operating in the same emotional songwriter register as his breakthrough hit. Jessie Murph, 'Blue Strips' may have been the viral smash-turned-top 20 hit that finally delivered Jessie Murph to the mainstream, but the singer-songwriter has spent years honing her pop persona and hopscotching across genres with ease; Sex Hysteria contains plenty of the earworm hooks that made Murph's voice ubiquitous over the past few months, but more importantly, the new album places her fierce spirit front and center, and gives her the widescreen platform that she deserves. BTS, Although the long-awaited, full-throttle return of BTS is expected for 2026, Permission To Dance On Stage – Live — the group's first live album, which is taken from various performances during their 2021 tour — serves as a timely reminder of their global appeal, from their Hot 100 chart-toppers to their fan-favorite album tracks that still resonate a decade after their release. Zach Bryan feat. Gabriella Rose, 'Madeline' Two weeks after releasing a three-pack of songs, Zach Bryan has quickly returned with 'Madeline,' a heartfelt collaboration with Gabriella Rose that also precedes a newly announced album, With Heaven On Top; Bryan remains as prolific as ever, but none of the recent material feels rushed or tossed-off, and Rose's gentle twang nicely plays off his own delivery here. Alex G, Alex G signing to RCA Records was both a big deal and a natural next step for the indie stalwart: as the singer-songwriter's commercial prospects have steadily grown, new album Headlights contains the potential of a true crossover for his deeply felt, idiosyncratic tone, especially if songs like 'Oranges' and 'Afterlife' find the right rock-leaning audience. Myke Towers, A press release for Myke Towers' Island Boyz describes the project as 'an album that doesn't aim to fit into any mold, but rather to create its own language' — and across its 75-minute run time, Towers centers not just his Puerto Rican roots but the entirety of Caribbean music, reaching a new level as a mainstream artist through synthesis and experimentation. Cam, As a fresh generation of country artists has stepped into the spotlight, Cam has remained among the most consistent in her class, with new album All Things Light reflecting on personal struggles and offering hope to those in desperate need of it; it's a different shade for the singer-songwriter, but the newfound urgency powers this collection. Editor's Pick: Nine Inch Nails, 'As Alive As You Need Me to Be' Nine Inch Nails' studio output has slowed down over the past decade as Trent Reznor has focused on scoring film projects (and become a fixture at the Academy Awards as a result) — and while 'As Alive As You Need Me to Be' is attached to a movie, as the first taste of the upcoming Tron: Ares soundtrack, the single gloriously flexes the band's industrial-dance muscle that recalls the highs of With Teeth, and Reznor spends the track sounding commanding, re-energized back in front of the microphone. Best of Billboard Chart Rewind: In 1989, New Kids on the Block Were 'Hangin' Tough' at No. 1 Janet Jackson's Biggest Billboard Hot 100 Hits H.E.R. & Chris Brown 'Come Through' to No. 1 on Adult R&B Airplay Chart Solve the daily Crossword
