German Shepherd Dove Headfirst Into Mud Bath Chaos and Has Zero Regrets
We know, just like people, dogs of the same breed come with a wide variety of personalities. Some consider themselves indoor pups who like to cuddle, sleep, and play with their toys, while others are on the complete opposite end of that. These pooches prefer to be outside, have a lot of energy to burn off, and will always choose the path of most chaos.
One treats the outdoors as an open invitation to go wild, and that's what he does. In a hilarious video, while on a walk with his human, he comes across a puddle of mud and has zero hesitation to listen to his inner voice, and it's probably more intense than you think it is. Brace yourself, cause this is hilarious.
TikTok user Ivy (@ivycaponi) shared a video that went viral, garnering 35 million views and a comment section that's more than 57k deep, and it's incredibly funny.
We know that this sweet dog named Whiskey comes across a puddle of mud, but when I said you'd have to brace yourself for how muddy he makes himself, I meant it. This silly pup doesn't hesitate for even a millisecond to launch himself right into the puddle, which is deeper than it looks.
Whiskey doesn't care. He's now covered, as in every single strand of fur and inch of his body is now mud. He's rolling, basically swimming, and looks like he is having the absolute best time of his life.
The video ends with him still in the mud, looking unrecognizable because he's now just a blob of concrete-colored mud. But the sweet German Shepherd looks delighted.In the comments, people had a lot to say about Whiskey's extreme love of mud and how into the rolls he seemed to be.
One wrote, "It's funny but only cause he's not mine."
Another joked, "God forbid a dog just wants to experience the benefits of a mud bath."
Someone else added, "I mean, at least he's passionate about skin and hair care."
Others shared, "Missed a spot," "He's having the best day ever," "Spa day, enjoy the process," Some people pay large amounts of money for a mud bath," "That dog is having the time of his life," "I'm such a cat person," and "Tearing up because I feel like we're witnessing the literal best moment of his whole life."
I have no idea how a sweet parent is supposed to get all this mud off him when they're done their walk. But it will probably start with a hose wash-off outside, along with a prayer that Whiskey doesn't shake his fur too much and spray the dirt all over the place.
Can't deny that this is one happy pup, though, and we love a pooch and dog parent who just go for it!

YAHOO POLL: Should Astronomer CEO Andy Byron have resigned?
Unless you've been living under a rock with no access to social media, then you're probably aware that there's a tech company called Astronomer whose CEO recently got caught snuggling with a woman who was not his wife at a recent Coldplay concert in Boston. Astronomer chief Andy Byron is holding his company's chief people officer, Kristin Cabot, in his arms when footage of their embrace is beamed up onto the stadium's jumbotron. Coldplay frontman Chris Martin says 'Oh look at these two" which prompts Cabot to quickly cover her face while Byron ducks to avoid the cameras. "Either they're having an affair or they're very shy," Coldplay's Martin accurately notes. Of course, someone was filming the entire awkward exchange and decided it would be best to blast the clip on social media. The video went viral and it didn't take internet sleuths long to identify who the couple were and create rumours of an alleged affair. The woman behind the viral video says she wasn't trying to cause any trouble when she posted it – but at the same time she's not exactly apologetic either. "Play stupid games... win stupid prizes," she was quoted as saying in an interview. Other polls YAHOO POLL: Does cutting public holidays help boost the economy?

Astronomer launched an investigation at the weekend and it was announced shortly afterwards that Byron had resigned from his role. As of press time, there was no update on Cabot's position. 'As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met,' the company's statement released Saturday reads. "Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted. The Board will begin a search for our next Chief Executive as Cofounder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy continues to serve as interim CEO." While the whole episode was not been the kind of attention Astronomer would have wanted, some public relations experts have said the newfound fame could, ultimately, benefit the firm.

NEWS OF THE WEEK: Katherine Schwarzenegger hired 'stepparenting coach' before marrying Chris Pratt
In an interview for the Parenting & You with Dr. Shefali podcast on Tuesday, the author-entrepreneur opened up about her experience of becoming a stepmother to the Guardians of the Galaxy actor's 12-year-old son Jack, whom he shares with ex-wife Anna Faris. "Number one thing I say is get a stepparenting therapist or stepparenting coach, because I got that right when we got engaged, and it's been incredibly helpful for me and also just understanding my role as a stepparent,". "Stepparenting, like parenting, has no handbook. Because I have the benefit of being in both roles....

Sound and Vision
Log on to social media these days, and it's likely that you'll come across a video of two people in a studio, talking. Usually the host is famous — Joe Rogan, or Amy Poehler or the Kelce brothers. Often the guest is, too. And while the clip on social media is probably brief, the video it's been cut from may well be three, four, even five hours long. This is podcasting in 2025: Many of the most popular shows are now video conversations that seem to stretch on forever. They often feature major political figures and may even have played a role in electing Donald Trump to his second term. The sheer profusion of these talk shows poses a very basic question: Who, exactly, is watching all this? I put that question to podcast creators and viewers, industry analysts and executives. And the answer, it turns out, is complicated. In today's newsletter, I'll explain what I learned. Who's watching One thing we do know: A lot of people are hitting play on podcast videos. YouTube announced recently that more than a billion people a month watch podcasts on its platform. And according to the most recent survey research, around three-quarters of podcast consumers play podcast videos. What makes it complicated, though, is that we don't know whether everyone playing these videos is actually watching them. The same survey showed that more than 40 percent of people who play podcast videos on YouTube listen to them only in the background — say, while folding laundry or doing other work. Podcasting began as an audio-only format, which led to an extraordinary degree of intimacy between listeners and hosts. Hearing the same people in your ears week after week tends to do that. Video podcasts strive for the same, or an even greater, sense of intimacy with their audience. One superfan of 'This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von' told me that she liked to watch the entire podcast because it made her feel less alone and as if she had company over. (Von's show, which regularly draws hundreds of thousands of viewers on YouTube, typically runs for about two hours.) Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
