Shortly after completing the challenge, he experienced severe leg pain, swelling, and dark brown urine, eventually becoming unable to urinate. Doctors diagnosed him with rhabdomyolysis, a serious condition where muscle tissue breaks down and releases toxins into the bloodstream, potentially leading to kidney failure. Tests showed his kidneys were only functioning at 50% capacity. Luckily, he avoided dialysis, but his full recovery could take anywhere from three months to a year.Source Florida Woman Robs Dairy Queen at Gunpoint, Gets Away with $1.50 A Florida woman is behind bars after allegedly robbing a Dairy Queen at gunpoint—only to walk away with a grand total of $1.50. Authorities say 44-year-old Allison Fetting entered the restaurant, brandished a gun, and demanded money.

The Headlines: Morgan Wallen Fan Scammed Out of $18,000 by Online Impersonator – Read more Study Finds People Are Getting Emotionally Attached to ChatGPT – Read more North Carolina Man Wears Bear Costume to Scare Off Real Bear – Read more Morgan Wallen Fan Scammed Out of $18,000 A Texas woman learned the hard way that celebrities don’t need your money after she was scammed out of $18,000 by someone pretending to be Morgan Wallen online. What happened? She sent Apple Music gift cards to "Morgan Wallen." Then, she handed over her bank details and social security number. The scammer took over $18,000 from her accounts. When asked why she fell for it, she admitted: “I needed validation at the time.” 😬 Moral of the story? Celebs don’t ask for gift cards. Ever. 👉 Full Story People Are Getting Emotionally Attached to ChatGPT, Study Finds A new study from OpenAI and MIT Media Lab suggests that some people are developing emotional connections with ChatGPT, with signs of: Preoccupation (thinking about ChatGPT when not using it). Withdrawal symptoms (feeling uneasy when not chatting). Mood changes (happiness or distress based on responses). While most people don’t engage emotionally, those who use ChatGPT more often tend to feel lonelier and react emotionally to subtle changes in the AI’s tone. Basically, some users are starting to see ChatGPT as a “friend.” 🤖💙 👉 Full Study North Carolina Man Wears Bear Costume to Scare Off a Real Bear An Asheville, NC resident took wildlife control into his own hands by dressing up as a bear to chase away a black bear in his backyard. How did it go? The real bear stared him down before finally running away. The plan worked this time, but experts warn that challenging a bear can be dangerous. So, while this might be a funny viral moment, it’s probably not the safest method for dealing with wildlife. 🐻😂 👉 Full Story Nina's What's Trending is your daily dose of the hottest headlines, viral moments, and must-know stories from The Jubal Show!

The Headlines: White House Easter Egg Roll Introduces Corporate Sponsorships – Read more Jennifer Coolidge Says ‘White Lotus’ Gets Her More Attention Than ‘American Pie’ – Read more Ja Rule Launches Honey-Infused Rye Whiskey – Read more White House Easter Egg Roll Now Has Corporate Sponsors For the first time in history, the White House Easter Egg Roll will feature corporate branding, allowing companies to pay for naming rights and custom-branded Easter baskets at the historic event. What’s the deal? Packages range from $75,000 to $200,000. Companies can put their logos on event signage and baskets. This isn’t the first time sponsors have chipped in (the American Egg Board donates eggs every year), but it’s the first time branding will be visible. Some are joking it might end up being called the "Tostitos Easter Egg Roll." 🐣 👉 Full Story Jennifer Coolidge Says ‘White Lotus’ Gets Her More Action Than ‘American Pie’ Jennifer Coolidge, aka Stifler’s Mom, says her role in HBO’s ‘The White Lotus’ has brought her more attention from “cute guys” than her iconic MILF role in American Pie. Her thoughts on the ‘White Lotus’ effect: “Even though I play a complete weirdo, cute guys come up to me.” “This is far better than ‘American Pie’ because people were really sad about Tanya falling off a boat.” She still gets recognized as Stifler’s Mom, but the White Lotus impact has been way stronger. Apparently, falling off a yacht = instant attraction. 👉 Full Story Ja Rule Launches Honey-Infused Rye Whiskey Ja Rule is entering the whiskey game with Amber & Opal, a honey-infused rye whiskey designed for both whiskey connoisseurs and newbies. What’s in it? Notes of orange blossom honey, smoked tea, cinnamon, ginger, and figs. Made in partnership with the Baltimore Spirits Company. Created with Ja Rule’s longtime friends in the industry. No word yet if “Always On Time” pairs well with a neat pour. 🥃 👉 Full Story Nina's What's Trending is your daily dose of the hottest headlines, viral moments, and must-know stories from The Jubal Show!

The Headlines: Texas Woman Might Lose $83.5 Million in Lotto Winnings – Read more People Are Buying Serial Killer Memorabilia on Facebook – Read more Texas Woman Might Lose $83.5 Million in Lotto Winnings Winning the lottery should be a dream come true — unless you don’t actually get the money. A woman in Texas is anxiously waiting to see if she’ll receive the $83.5 million she won in the lottery after purchasing her ticket through a courier service. Here’s the deal: The woman, who’s chosen to remain anonymous, paid a courier service $20 to buy her tickets. The Texas Lottery Commission is questioning the legality of tickets purchased through third-party services that charge a fee to buy tickets on behalf of customers. The woman’s lawyer is arguing that withholding the winnings would shake public trust in the lottery and would likely lead to a lawsuit. Adding to the drama? The woman is reportedly being grouped with others who purchased $25 million worth of tickets through couriers for a single drawing — raising red flags for the lottery commission. 👉 Full Story People Are Buying Serial Killer Memorabilia on Facebook Forget eBay — there’s a dark corner of Facebook where people are buying and selling “murderabilia.” The hidden market includes: Personal letters from convicted killers Artwork created by criminals Even pieces of crime scenes One seller, Nico Claux — a convicted murderer and cannibal — actively sells items and interacts with buyers online. Recent listings include: Dirt from John Wayne Gacy’s crime site — going for $35 Letters from Richard Ramirez Art from Charles Manson The trend raises serious ethical concerns, as some sellers are profiting off violent crimes that devastated lives. Despite the questionable legality, the market continues to thrive under the radar. 👉 Full Story Nina's What's Trending is your daily dose of the hottest headlines, viral moments, and must-know stories from The Jubal Show!

The Headlines: Georgia Sorority Girl’s “Hot Mugshot” Goes Viral – Read more People Are Going Under Anesthesia for Tattoos — and It’s Risky – Read more Georgia Sorority Girl’s “Hot Mugshot” Goes Viral A sorority girl with a lead foot — and a smile that broke the internet. Lily Stewart, a 20-year-old student at the University of Georgia, is trending after her “hot mugshot” went viral. Here’s what went down: She was pulled over for speeding earlier this month, and the cop let her off with a warning. Minutes later, she got pulled over AGAIN for speeding — and this time, they arrested her. The mugshot hit the internet, and guys online couldn’t resist commenting: "Must have been a sale at Lululemon." "Trying to get to brunch for bottomless mimosas." "She was trying to get the last pumpkin latte of the season." "Your honor, my client like, TOTALLY didn’t see that sign." The comments got so creepy that the prosecutor dropped the case over safety concerns. Meanwhile, Lily’s lawyer is working to get the mugshot taken down — but Lily doesn’t seem too worried about it. 👉 Full Story People Are Going Under Anesthesia for Tattoos — and It’s Risky Too scared to sit through a tattoo? Just go under. A new trend has emerged where people are getting tattooed under general anesthesia — but experts are warning it’s not exactly safe. At least one person has died from complications while getting a back tattoo under anesthesia. Less severe risks include infections, allergic reactions, and complications from being put under. Oh, and it’s not cheap — a back tattoo with sedation could cost between $30,000 and $35,000. Without sedation? It’s closer to $10K to $15K. So, is it worth risking your life for a more comfortable ink session? Probably not. 👉 Full Story Nina's What's Trending is your daily dose of the hottest headlines, viral moments, and must-know stories from The Jubal Show!
