A Little Bit of Awesome: 5/13/2020 Edition

A 54-year-old guy in L.A. named Gregg Garfield was in the hospital for 64 days, and doctors gave him a 1% chance of surviving. But he just got discharged the other day, and the entire staff cheered for him as he walked out. Check out his full story RIGHT HERE.


A couple in Michigan both got the virus and had to be hospitalized separately. The wife ended up on a ventilator for several weeks, and they couldn’t visit each other at all. But they both beat it, and had a pretty emotional reunion last week.


BBC reporter Andrew Cotter has gone viral because of a Zoom meeting he did with his two dogs. The “good dog” is named Olive and she’s doing so well during quarantine that she earned a company bonus. And then there’s Mabel: She’s late to the meeting, is constantly distracted, scratches herself while on camera . . . and then falls asleep during the chat.

The newest online makeup challenge is called the Tiny Face Challenge. You draw a tiny nose on the bridge of your real nose . . . and use lipstick by your nostrils to make them look like lips. Then you cover your actual lips with a scarf or face mask. In the main video that’s going viral, the woman can’t stop giggling as she does it.


This may be the best music combination since, well, ever. It’s a video of two guys getting waxed while they have harmonicas in their mouths. One of them “makes music” while getting waxed on the stomach . . . and the other treats us to a harmonica moment as he gets his armpit hairs ripped out.
