'I hope you don't mind — I wanted to let you in on something that is private that I haven't talked about publicly yet because one of the things I have so enjoyed about you and your husband is seeing how you incorporate your children in your life in so many ways,' McCain told Vance, who shares three children — Ewan, 8, Vivek, 5, and Mirabel, 3 — with Vice President JD Vance.

McCain, the daughter of the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) who already has two girls — Liberty, 4, and Clover, 2 — with husband Ben Domenech, revealed that she is currently in her second trimester.
'I'm entering my second trimester. I'm pregnant with my third,' she revealed. 'I know this is a weird way to announce it. It's a boy. I'm very nervous about having a boy, and I'm very nervous about having three children. Very.'

During their chat, McCain confessed she's read 'all this horrible data' suggesting that three is 'the worst amount of kids to have,' and asked Vance for her advice as a mother of three — and as a 'boy mom.'
'I love having three kids. I'm a huge proponent of it,' Vance replied.
'Obviously, people wanna have different family sizes for different reasons, but what I've really enjoyed about three kids is that it's just enough for them all to be kind of a pack. … It's awesome.'
As for raising boys, which McCain had heard are more 'rambunctious,' Vance acknowledged that her sons have 'a lot of energy.'

She also pointed out that 'the growth curves' and 'the timeline of development' differ between boys and girls.
McCain and Domenech, 43, married in 2017.
The two met through their shared backgrounds in conservative politics and media, quickly forming a connection despite Domenech initially tweeting 'DO NOT WANT' in response to an article about her.
Their relationship deepened after a memorable first date, leading to an engagement in July 2017 while McCain's father was undergoing cancer treatment.
They married on Nov. 21, 2017, in a ceremony held at the McCain family lodge in Sedona, Arizona, ensuring her father could be present.

"We must change our methods": Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai says game development has become "too time consuming and unsustainable"
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Kirby and Super Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai has spoken about the current state of game development and why he believes it is becoming "unsustainable." You rarely hear much about developers when it comes to Nintendo games, but Masahiro Sakurai is well known as a workaholic. From 2012 until 2021, he worked on Super Smash Bros. non-stop between the 3DS, Wii U, and Switch editions, in the midst of suffering from calcific tendonitis. And in the five months he had off in between finishing up with Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and his then-unknown next project – which was revealed to be Kirby Air Riders in the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct – he created two-and-a-half years' worth of content for a YouTube channel. However, even Sakurai is beginning to think large-scale development is getting to be a bit wild, as we're currently in an era where it looks like developers like Naughty Dog will end up going a full console generation without a new game. Speaking to Yahoo Japan (translated via Source Gaming), Sakurai responds to a question asking what he believes the future of the gaming market holds, saying that, "To be honest, it's hard to see what the future holds. I think we've reached a point where creating large-scale games like we do now is too time consuming and unsustainable." He says developers must adapt to new ways of thinking: "I believe we are at a stage where we must change our methods, such as by using generative AI to improve work efficiency." Sakurai adds, "It seems that only companies that can adapt well to these changes will survive in the coming era." While Sakurai presents generative AI as a tool that could be used to ease game development troubles, he doesn't clarify if it's something he himself is particularly interested in using. Given how Sakurai's games typically have a ton of personal touches where you see them and think, "yep, that's a Sakurai thing," I'd be shocked if he started using the plagiarism machine. Super Smash Bros. creator says instead of making more "Americanized works," Japanese devs should "seek the uniqueness and fun of Japanese games."

'And we have plans for what we wanna do.' 'We have hopes of acquiring a hotel – a mansion – there, that we are gonna convert into a hotel, and we're gonna create a show around that,' Todd added.

Single woman asks for Tim Allen 'Home Improvement' grunts over dating app — and the responses are hilarious: ‘This is better than dating'
The extremes some men will go to. As wild as today's digital dating world is — sometimes desperate times call for desperate measures. One woman posted on her dating app profile asking potential suitors to give her their best impersonation of actor Tim Allen's grunts from the show 'Home Improvement.' Advertisement The popular sitcom ran for eight seasons in the early 1990s. Allen's character, Tim 'The Tool Man' Taylor, was known for expressing himself through a very specific grunt sound. Allen's character had a famous grunt — that is clearly still being thought about today. Touchstone Television/courtesy Everett Collection Kathenn (@kathenn25) first shared a video on TikTok, putting many desperate eligible bachelors on blast who responded to her Hinge prompt that read: 'I get along best with people who can do the Tim Allen 'awrhoo' impression. Let me see what you got,' earlier this year. Advertisement To give context to viewers, she wrote in overlay text on her video: 'My version of the 4B movement includes making men on Hinge do an impression of Tim Allen before they're allowed to speak to me.' She played each hilarious impression one by one — and that was only the beginning. The responses to this prompt are hilarious. TikTok / @kathenn25 Advertisement Several other videos of grunting impressions followed, and the most recent one, captioned: 'They're baaaaaaaack (they never left they literally do not stop coming in),' has gone viral — garnering almost 500,000 views. Over 500 people commented on the humorous clip. One curious person asked: 'Is this a kink thing?' Advertisement Another person couldn't believe how well some of the contenders sounded like Allen: 'i refuse to believe that the first one was not sampled directly from the tv show.' One honest commenter gave a bit of an explanation as to why Kathenn is getting a ton of action on this prompt: 'I have no idea why but the tim Allen grunt is the REAL Roman empire for men. I've been doing this shit since I was a kid.' Someone else thought the journey was better than the destination in this situation: 'This is better than dating.' 'Absolute cinema,' another one chimed in. The video even made its way to X (formerly Twitter) where one user shared the video, writing, 'I'm absolutely losing it.' The Tweet received over 1 million views. In a YouTube short clip while on stage at the famous Laugh Factory comedy club, Allen explained that the inspiration for his famous grunt came from a time he was performing a show to a predominantly male audience. While Allen was trying to do his bits on stage, the men were all grunting as they ate their meal, barely paying attention to the comedian. 'I couldn't get their attention. All I was doing on stage, I hear men [grunting]. So I started doing that [grunting]. And these men actually went, 'Huh?' and a career was built,' Allen jokingly explained.
