Jason Momoa Helps Car Crash Victim
Movie star, male model, and Harley Davidson spokesman Jason Momoa recently came to the aid of a car crash victim. The incident in question happened over the weekend in Milwaukee as a minivan hit a curb and almost caught fire. Momoa was in the crowd of people who came to the driver's rescue.Momoa was in town with his band Oof Tatata for a performance during the Harley-Davidson Homecoming Festival when he just happened to be on the scene of the accident.
As shown in footage obtained by TMZ, Momoa was surveying the scene of the crash as smoke rose from the crashed minivan. However, other bystanders not only were trying to extinguish the flames but also administering chest compressions to the driver.
While the actor looked like he wanted to jump in, police and others already had a handle on the situation.
Even though Momoa wasn't able to engage in any heroics at the scene of the crash, it's great he was willing to help.
Meanwhile, at the music festival he was recorded engaging in the most pit during Pantera's performance, showing just how hardcore the 45-year-old is. Another video showed Momoa crowd surfing his way back to security so he could go backstage, presumably to get ready for his own set.
TMZ reports that law enforcement concluded the crash victim was driving under the influence. Thankfully when he ran into a median and up onto a sidewalk in Milwaukee he didn't take out Momoa or any of the other pedestrians on the scene.
The driver was eventually transported to the hospital to receive proper care. It's unclear if the driver was suffering a medical episode induced by the crash or whatever substance he was on at the time.

Man Breaks Up with Girlfriend Due to the 'Shocking' State of Her Apartment
He didn't mention the apartment when they broke up but wonders if he should haveNEED TO KNOW A man shares that he broke up with his girlfriend due to the state of her apartment He said she had week-old food sitting out and trash overflowing People on Reddit agreed that he made the right choice, but insist that he should have told her whyA man turned to the internet to see if he acted too brashly when breaking up with his girlfriend over the state of her apartment. In a post on Reddit, the man explains that he and his "gorgeous" girlfriend had been dating for a few months after meeting through friends. Last weekend, his girlfriend invited him to her place for the first time. The woman mentioned that her apartment was a "mess," but the man laughed it off, thinking she was being "self-deprecating." "I want to start off by saying I know that people have their reasons for stuff like this and I don't want to be disrespectful in any way," he starts. "But the state of her apartment was genuinely shocking when I first went in." "It was a pretty small place, and I'm not just talking about clutter. Literal piles of trash on the floor, a sink full of dishes overflowing onto the counter, stains on the couch and carpet, week-old food on the table, and just piles and piles of stuff everywhere," he adds. "Not to mention the overpowering smell of mold and mildew that I could taste in my mouth." His girlfriend, however, acted like everything "was completely normal," and they watched a movie on the couch before it got too late. While he "tried not to act weird," he admitted that she likely "noticed' something was off."The next day, I called her and told her I didn't think things were gonna be compatible between us, and she got mad at me for leading her on and breaking up with her for no reason. I didn't mention the apartment, but maybe I should have," the man shares. "I feel bad for her, and I'm worried I might have acted too quickly."

While people in the comments section agreed he had every right to end things, they said he should have been honest about the reason for the breakup. "But I do think you should've mentioned the apartment. People who don't know what the problem is cannot take any corrective action. Tell her and move on," one person wrote. "Compatibility isn't just about chemistry, it's also about hygiene. If I have to dodge pizza boxes like landmines just to sit down, that's not 'quirky,' that's a health hazard," another added. "You didn't ghost her, you bowed out respectfully. That's not being shallow, that's self-preservation." Read the original article on People Solve the daily Crossword

Alan Dershowitz also said the convicted sex trafficker should be granted immunity to speak about her relationship with Epstein.
Jeffrey Epstein's former lawyer thinks Ghislaine Maxwell should have her 20-year prison sentence commuted—and be given immunity to testify before Congress about the late financier. 'Ghislaine Maxwell is basically serving the sentence that Epstein would have gotten,' lawyer Alan Dershowitz told Newsmax's Sunday Agenda on Sunday. 'She should never be in jail for 20 years. What should happen is, she should be free,' Dershowitz continued. 'She should have her sentence commuted. She should then be called in front of Congress. Have Congress give her total immunity, and then she can tell everything she knows.'

Nearly Three-Quarters of Podcast Audiences Play the Video, Too, for Some Reason
Nearly three-quarters of podcast consumers play the video as they listen along, even though it's pretty mucho just two people sitting at microphones chatting most of the time, according to a survey cited in a Saturday report in the New York Times. Often the videos are minimized on the listeners' screens – and they're not missing much, as they rarely contain any actual visual aids. But only about a quarter listen to the audio only. More from TheWrap Nearly Three-Quarters of Podcast Audiences Play the Video, Too, for Some Reason James Gunn Says It Was 'Terrible' Telling Henry Cavill He Was Recasting Superman: 'It Was Really Unfair to Him' | Video Pete Buttigieg Makes Surprisingly Cheeky Barstool Sports Appearance to Present 'Lib of the Year' Award Jon Stewart on Potential 'Daily Show' Cancellation After Skydance Merger: 'Been Kicked Out of S–ttier Establishments' The research, from an April survey by Cumulus Media and Signal Hill Insights, was the center of a Saturday deep-dive on the behavior by the New York Times, which spoke to several people who gave anecdotal reasons for the habit. About 30% of podcast listeners just have the video playing in the background, or minimized on their device while listening, according to the Signal Hill survey. But that still leaves a significant portion who are watching … talking heads. Signal Hill said the behavior holds across age groups, suggesting it's not just a trend among Gen Z-and-younger, whose taste for video is virtually a pillar of their consumer identity. The survey found another strange anomaly – a paradox, even – among people who consume podcasts on YouTube, where 58 percent listen to audio only, or with the video minimized in the background. YouTube is the largest single platform for podcast intake, though a large majority of consumers use other platforms like Spotify or Apple Podcasts, the Times reported. 'I don't have the ability to watch the entire thing through, but I do my glance-downs if I hear something funny,' 31-year-old Zoë McDermott, a title insurance producer from Pennsylvania, told the Times. 'It's passive a little bit.' Many ad deals require podcasters to have a video component, as consumers have come to expect it, the Times reported. 'It feels a little more personal, like somebody is there with you,' McDermott said. 'I live alone with my two cats and I'm kind of in a rural area in Pennsylvania, so it's just a little bit of company almost.'
