A Little Bit of Awesome: 2/19/2021 Edition

Ryan Sivley is just a good dude. Ryan lives in Austin, and they’ve been dealing with this freak winter storm, which has caused all kinds of problems on the roads. So Ryan has been driving around in his truck, looking for cars stuck in the snow, and helping people get them out.
So far he’s helped over 140 people, just in two days. That’s awesome.


According to a new survey, over half of us have had someone peroform a random act of kindness, including 38% who’ve experienced more than one.
And I’m one of those people. Just yesterday, as I was getting lunch, the woman in front of me in line paid for my food. I tried to pay for the next person, but I was the last in line, so to that random woman who paid for my Jimmy John’s on Prospect, thank you for being awesome.


This guy, Travis, decided to try and make the best out of this Texas winter, and strapped on some skis and went skiing behind his buddies pick up truck.
While I don’t recommend doing this, it’s still pretty awesome.


Comedian Caitlin Reilly shows us what every contestant on “The Bachelor” sounds like.


Extra Awesome:
There’s a new Mortal Combat movie coming, and this one actually looks good.

WARNING: There’s an F-bomb at the end of the video. Also, it’s the Red Band trailer, which means it’s for the adults. (It gets violent, just fyi)
