Watch the video here: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Andre Crews (@andrecrews) Crews said he loves his son, but also spoke about the challenges parents usually face with toddlers, such as their eating habits, playing, toys and bathing, among other things. He said he was just venting his "fatigued frustration". The video was posted on June 3 and went viral with over 3.4 million views and more than 200,000 likes. Internet users have flooded the comment section with their own experiences with a toddler. One user said, "I want this video as my screensaver at work. So when I get up and grab that Celsius and coffee chaser at 2pm, you're wisdom plays for the non-kiddo having masses I work with." "It's the fact that you look like you going home with a vest on lol because you don't know what you getting ready to walk into," another said. "Honestly I'm more surprised you escaped long enough to make this video lol," a third wrote. Another user comment read: "The meanest humans are all between 2 & 4 yrs old." One even said, "It's preparation for the teenage years. Gotta be strong!" "The sleep deprivation is horrible" While speaking to Newsweek, Crews said that toddlers like his son "have all the leverage and cannot be negotiated with." "Toddlers have very little understanding of their emotions and how to express themselves, so their behaviors can be wildly erratic." "We just have to do what they say in the middle of the night or everyone pays the price. The same can be said if we're out in public and something upsets him," he added. "If I don't get him his yogurt or come lie down next to him or rub his back until he falls asleep, he will scream and not only wake up my wife and dogs, but our neighbors in the townhouse community," he continued. "Having a toddler is like living with your best friend from college who habitually drank too much, blacked out, did terrible things, but somehow woke up before you the next morning and brought you a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich." "The sleep deprivation is horrible, but I love being Jameson's dad. He is hands down my favorite person; at least during daylight hours. I am blessed to have a happy, funny, smart, hardworking son. I know that this phase is just temporary, so I'm trying to enjoy it as much as possible," Crews said.

Rally of Gods: Punishing four-day Acropolis Rally kicks off in the Greek capital amid heatwave
ATHENS, Greece — It's dubbed the 'Rally of Gods' — a punishing, four-day event on the World Rally Championship circuit that will take 69 crews from 31 countries across rough, treacherous terrain in Greece. Known for its brutal combination of dust and heat on its twisty, mountainous stages, the Acropolis Rally started on Thursday afternoon with a special stage in the very center of Athens. Unlike much of the rest of the rally, the start will see the cars sliding on city streets outside Greece's parliament building near the foot of the Acropolis.

Terry Crews Feels Better Than Ever at 56. Here's How He's Built Real Strength.
IS one of the most muscular figures in pop culture. He's used his physique to play typical Hollywood action hero roles in The Expendables series—but he's much better known for the way he uses his humor and charm alongside his 6'2'', 240 pound frame in roles like Terry Jeffords on Brooklyn 99 and as the personable host of America's Got Talent. The 56-year-old(!) former NFL player says he might not be in the best shape of his life right now, but he feels better than he ever has before. Thanks to years of experience, he's reached a point in his fitness journey where he understands what his body needs with more focus on recovery, rather than just hammering big weights and running hard. Ahead of the Men's Health Lab event, Crews and exercise physiologist and strength coach Dr. Pat Davidson joined MH fitness director Ebenezer Samuel, C.S.C.S. to talk about building strength, maintaining fitness over the years, and what drives each of them to train to get the best out of their bodies. Here, we're highlighting a few standout moments from the conversation—which you can watch above for all the details about how Crews maintains his muscle (and feels better than ever, too) over 50. TERRY CREWS: Once I played in the NFL and I didn't get what I wanted, [I understood] that I didn't want it bad enough. The reason I didn't become a superstar in the NFL is because I didn't work on the stuff that wasn't genetic. I relied way too much on just natural ability and did not take care of myself in regards to the little details, the little things. Once I had a career in entertainment, I made up for that. I studied my lines, I studied everything I had to do. I used my body knowing that this was my tool now. I was like okay, I'm going to get in tremendous shape—not just regular shape, tremendous shape—because to me, I always felt like that was my advantage. There weren't a lot of people like me doing comedy, and what if I was the most muscular comedic actor who ever existed? And I was in a place all by myself for a long time. EBENEZER SAMUEL: I think [active recovery] is something our guys need to understand. Is it a thing where you have a set split and you plan your active recovery days, or is it a thing where you wake up some mornings and you're like, You know what, I feel horrible, so today is an active recovery day? TERRY CREWS: It's planned. I'd say Wednesday and Sunday are the biggest active recovery days that I have. Everything in between there are regular workout days, but I force myself to say Wednesday and then Sunday, because Sunday is perfect—it's like family time, you do a little bit, then you go with the wife and do all this stuff—you know what I mean? So it's really, really planned out, because if I don't plan it, that's the problem. I've had a lot of injuries—I blew hamstrings, blown my back out a lot, tweaked the neck... but you get used to the pain. That's another thing too: If you're not careful, you develop this thing where if you're not in pain, something's wrong. I love the nods, because I can tell you know what I'm talking about. EBENEZER SAMUEL: Can you explain the difference between good pain and bad pain? PAT DAVIDSON: Most people have no idea... overall what I would say is, are you able to make progress with your exercises? If that's the case, you're actually not "fatigued,"—you're uncomfortable. There's a big difference. Training and pushing your body to change is uncomfortable. Nothing changes in the world unless there's discomfort involved. EBENEZER SAMUEL: So if you can get stronger through it physically and see it with the numbers then you're probably on the right track, if it's causing you pain and you can't progress and you can't do the reps, then there's a problem? PAT DAVIDSON: There's a thin line. You're riding a unicycle down a tightrope with this stuff. Chances are if you're never sore, you're not doing enough to stimulate any changes in your body, you're not going to go anywhere. If you're wrecked all the time, if we bring you back a little bit you might make better progress.

Dad Nails Exactly Why 'Toddlers Are Terrorists'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A sleep-deprived dad has left internet users screaming after recounting the many ways he has been personally victimized and held hostage by his own toddler. Once upon a time, André Crews of New Jersey used to enjoy peaceful mornings, time to himself, and a good night's sleep. But now with a 3-year-old son, that is all firmly in the past. Indeed, life as a dad is very different for Crews, 38, who shared an Instagram Reel (@andrecrews) comparing toddlers to terrorists. They may look cute and harmless, but Crews told Newsweek that toddlers like his son "have all the leverage and cannot be negotiated with." Of course, Crews loves being a dad to Jameson, and a dog owner to Hawley and Jersey, but it is not without its challenges. It doesn't matter if they want chocolate, a new toy, or refuse to get in the bath—it is their way or nothing. From left: André Crews of New Jersey walks his dogs and discusses toddler parenting.

"We just have to do what they say in the middle of the night or everyone pays the price. The same can be said if we're out in public and something upsets him. "If I don't get him his yogurt or come lie down next to him or rub his back until he falls asleep, he will scream and not only wake up my wife and dogs, but our neighbors in the townhouse community," he continued. While he was walking his dogs, Crews recorded a video discussing the many ways "toddlers are terrorists" and how he has been held hostage by his own son. He had no idea the video would go viral with over 3.4 million views and more than 219,000 likes at the time of writing. The online reaction has been astonishing for Crews, who said he was just venting his "fatigued frustration." Plenty of parents related to the video and said they finally felt seen. Crews said: "Having a toddler is like living with your best friend from college who habitually drank too much, blacked out, did terrible things, but somehow woke up before you the next morning and brought you a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich. "The sleep deprivation is horrible, but I love being Jameson's dad. He is hands down my favorite person; at least during daylight hours. I am blessed to have a happy, funny, smart, hardworking son. I know that this phase is just temporary, so I'm trying to enjoy it as much as possible," Crews said. It is hard to count the many ways he has been victimized by his own son, but most notably it happened when Jameson transitioned from a crib to a children's bed. The idea was that he could have more space and independence, but he evidently wasn't fond of that idea. Crews said that his toddler started walking into his parents' room "any time he felt the need to." One night, he made 10 appearances and was "screaming as if he was being tortured" each time. Now, Crews has just set up a comforter in his son's room instead. It certainly doesn't offer the same lumbar support, but there is just no way of compromising with a toddler. "During the day, we discuss what happened the night before. I try to explain to him that he needs sleep to grow up to be big and strong. And that mommy and daddy need sleep so we can take care of him," Crews said. The viral Instagram video has amassed over 6,000 comments so far, as social-media users lauded Crews for his take on parenting. One comment reads: "The meanest humans are all between 2 & 4 yrs old." Another Instagram user wrote: "It's preparation for the teenage years. Gotta be strong!" A third person joked: "The accuracy of this. I swear they just tiny villains." One commenter added: "I felt these words in my soul." Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share? We want to see the best ones!

Improvements get underway for Dieppe Gardens
If you're down at Dieppe Gardens you might notice some construction fencing go up starting this week. The city is kicking off improvement work at the memorial lookout area and a nearby stretch of the south pathway along Riverside Drive. Crews will be replacing the old park lighting with new poles and LED fixtures, pouring new concrete around the eternal flame, and upgrading the adjacent asphalt path. The work is expected to wrap up by mid-august as long as the weather cooperates. The park will stay open while the work is happening, but the active construction zone will be fenced off until everything's done.
