Woman Sleeps at Guy's House—What Golden Retriever Does Next Day Goes Viral

In a viral TikTok video, a young woman spends the night at a date's house, only to wake up the next day to his golden retriever doing something hilarious.
The clip, shared in April under the username @divacookiemonster, shows the golden retriever standing on the bed right in front of the owner, bringing over her trousers, as if signaling that it is time to leave.
"That one time I stayed at a guy's house and his dog literally brought me my pants the next morning," the poster writes in the clip. "Well trained," she adds in the caption.
Golden retrievers are among the most-intelligent dog breeds, according to Countryside Veterinary Service, which places them fifth place on its list.
Golden retrievers are friendly, trusted family companions, known for their affectionate, outgoing personality. As a sporting breed, they also enjoy activities such as long runs, bike rides, hunting, and fetching a tennis ball or Frisbee.
Golden retrievers need lots of daily exercise to let out their energy, and prevent undesirable behaviors, keeping your pup happy and healthy.
Easily adaptable and exceptionally child-friendly, these dogs also get along very well with strangers, with other dogs, and even with cats.
The American Kennel Club (AKC) says that golden retrievers are eager to please, and easily trainable, and their training should begin as soon as you bring your puppy home, with group-based puppy kindergarten and basic obedience.
Their coat will require routine trimming and grooming, and they will also need nail trimming, teeth and ear cleaning, shampooing, bathing and drying. Because their coat blows approximately twice a year, you should never shave them.

The video quickly went viral on social media and has so far received over 13.7 million views and more than 3.2 million likes on the platform.
One user, TeeWhy, commented: "He said checkout time was at 8 let's get a move on."
Kayla posted: "Bet his owner has taught him this so he doesn't have to awkwardly ask you to leave."
Another user, Semidead_ wrote: "He's not even looking at you, clearly bro wants you OUT."
Ms. Ford added: "It's the lack of eye contact, he said 'I can't get attached.'"

Taylor Swift's chat with the Kelces on ‘New Heights' marks a milestone moment for podcasts
Since nothing Taylor Swift ever does is small, her two-hour conversation with boyfriend Travis Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce on their 'New Heights' podcast is a watershed moment for a media format that has already outlived the device it was named for. By Thursday afternoon, Wednesday night's talk had already been seen more than 11.7 million times on YouTube. But that's only a fraction of its circulation — clips distributed on Instagram, TikTok, X and elsewhere have received more than 400 million views, and the episode was also available for streaming on audio platforms. Swift, who infrequently gives interviews to journalists, revealed key information about her upcoming album, 'The Life of a Showgirl,' and talked about her relationships with Travis Kelce and her family, and her joy of gaining full control of her past work — a yearslong quest. It was a revelation for fans with whom she's primarily communicated through her music and social media Easter eggs, a treasure hunt of clues about what she's doing professionally. 'We have not heard Taylor speak in like a long-form interview like that in about five years,' Alex Antonides, a superfan from Dallas, told The Associated Press. 'She's never been in that comfortable of a situation, either. It's always been like more professional, like a professional interviewer asking her questions. And then this is like with her boyfriend and his brother. So that was … an environment we've truly never seen her in before.' Celebrities like a friendly face for public talks Swift cemented a trend that's been seen in recent years among entertainers, sports figures and politicians who seek to deliver particular messages. A visit to friendly faces for a long-form conversation beats questions from nosy, prying journalists. In this case, Swift and Travis Kelce locked arms and cooed at each other between admiring queries. 'My boyfriend says,' Swift said in asides when Kelce laid things on too thick. 'The Kelce brothers have become the Barbara Walters of their generation,' said Nick Cicero, founder of Mondo Metrics, which studies the podcast industry. Fans ate it up. 'I think it's really nice and refreshing, especially for a woman whose primary fan base is young women, to see somebody that is so celebratory of their partner and also not self-deprecating in a bad way, but also really admires what they do, and they don't try to minimize that,' one fan, Britton Copeland, who goes by Britton Rae on TikTok, said in a Zoom interview. Swift interpreters immediately began online discussions about What It All Means. One fan discussed theories about the still-unheard song, 'The Fate of Ophelia,' listed as the new album's first cut. Others pointed out that the album release date of Oct. 3 coincided with National Plaid Day — apparently a Swift obsession — and National Boyfriend's Day. Such Easter eggs are likely to bring listeners back to the 'New Heights' interview again and again, meaning it could eventually stand as the most listened-to podcast episode on YouTube ever. 'It's got a chance,' Cicero said. Podcasts emerged in the 2000s as an audio-only programming format tied to Apple's now-defunct iPod. The New Oxford American Dictionary called 'podcast' its word of the year in 2005, even as many in the industry sought an alternative name almost as soon as it was coined. The well-regarded 'Serial' podcasts helped bring the format into the mainstream a decade ago. Particularly since the pandemic, and with the explosive growth of YouTube and personalities like Joe Rogan, video podcasts have become far more popular. Like most interview podcasts, 'New Heights' can also be enjoyed in an audio format — and it's background noise even for many who air it on YouTube — but being able to see Swift and the Kelces interact has its benefits. Will Swift outdraw President Trump's appearance with Rogan? Rogan's interview with President Donald Trump was a key moment in the 2024 presidential campaign, and has been seen 59 million times on YouTube in nine months. Certainly Swifties — and possibly Trump himself — will be eager to see if the 'New Heights' interview exceeds that number. Swift is among the celebrities who has drawn the president's ire. It has further to go to be a record-setter, though. The most-watched podcast episode ever on YouTube, and likely the most-consumed podcast ever, is Abdulrahman Abu Maleh's interview with relationship coach Yasser Hazimi for 'Secrets to Thriving Relationships' from the Saudi Arabian company Thmanyah. It has racked up 144 million views in two years. Swift's and the Kelces' teams were was particularly skillful in creating a huge demand for the interview with how its spread clips across various social media platforms, said Tom Webster, founder of Sounds Profitable, a firm that analyzes the podcast industry. By Thursday morning, Instagram highlights alone from the interview were viewed more than 350 million times, Cicero said. ___

'Love is Blind' star Stacy Snyder reveals payout from class-action lawsuit
The "Love is Blind" production company settled with more than 100 cast and crew members in a 2022 class-action lawsuit. Stacy Snyder, one of the "Love is Blind" cast members who took legal action against the show, has shared how much she made off of the multi-million dollar class action lawsuit. Snyder was on Season 5 of the popular Netflix dating show, where she made it down the aisle with contestant Izzy Zapata, before calling the engagement off at the altar. Originally, the pair said they planned to stay together and work on things, but they ended up breaking up about a week after the season aired. Snyder joined in on what became a class-action lawsuit against the show's production company, Kinetic Content, after it was originally filed by Season 2 contestant Jeremey Hartwell in July 2022, alleging that cast members were forced to work long hours in poor conditions with no pay. In December 2024, Netflix chose to settle for $1.4 million to be divided amongst all parties, more than a third of which was designated for attorneys' fees. Here is what to know about the lawsuit and how much Snyder received from the settlement. What does the 'Love is Blind' lawsuit say? The complaint obtained by USA TODAY accuses Kinetic of enforcing "unsafe and inhumane working conditions," exerting "excessive control" over cast members' lives and pushing "sleep deprivation, isolation, lack of food and excessive alcohol" on contestants for "entertainment value." The cast and crew were required to work 20 hours a day, seven days a week, for just $1,000 per week, the suit also alleged, equating to just $7.14 per hour. The lawsuit ultimately included around 144 former cast and crew members. How much did Stacy Snyder receive from the settlement? Snyder shared what her cut looked like on TikTok in July, posting a video of herself opening the settlement check with the caption, "when the trauma turns into a direct deposit." "This is what I am owed for filming not even two full months," she said, showing an $8,287 check to the camera. "This is more than I got paid for filming an entire season of 12 to 20-hour workdays." In the TikTok, Snyder says she doesn't "know if (she's) mad or happy," adding that "it's more of the justice piece and not the money." "It's just sick that people who have power take advantage of people they know don't know any better in these situations," she said.
