One day, a teen boy named Sam Crowe told his grandma Peggy Winckowski that he had been bragging about her cooking to his friends, saying “my grandma makes the best breakfast.”
“Grandma Peggy,” as she’s universally known, invited the group over to try one of her legendary breakfasts, and the following week she was greeted by Sam, his cousin Owen and seven of their school friends—all of whom enjoyed an extraordinary meal, along with a round of hugs.
One morning meetup led to another, and thus their makeshift breakfast club was born. Every Wednesday morning, Grandma Peggy would prepare a lavish meal for a larger and larger group. This tradition lasted throughout the year.
In July 2022, Sam was killed in a moped accident, leaving Grandma Peggy devastated. But not alone, because she was still greeted by Sam’s classmates for their breakfast club meetups every single day following the week of the accident, then every Wednesday for the rest of the school year. The breakfast club had not come to a close. In fact, it has grown larger than ever before.
Grandma Peggy truly had become everyone’s grandma. As one of her regulars told CBS Sunday Morning, “She’s just a built-in grandmother to all of us.”
“Grandma Peggy just brings everyone together. She cares for us a lot. She really cares for us,” another added.
Through compassion, community and delicious comfort food, Grandma Peggy and Sam’s friends have been able to heal together while honoring a tradition he started.

The last minute of the five-minute masterpiece finds Drake on the roof of what is later revealed to be “October’s Very Own Arena,” which is Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena temporary rebranded name for Drake’s hometown It’s All A Blur Tour shows. He does Jackson’s signature spin move to correspond with his “Beat It” reference as he raps, “N****s talkin’ ’bout when this gon’ be repeated / What the f*ck, bro? I’m one away from Michael / N***a, beat it, n***a, beat it, what?”
Drake does Michael Jackson’s signature dance move in the “First Person Shooter” music video. https://t.co/CmQywZndCG
As pointed out by Camilla Ruud on X (formerly known as Twitter), Drake also had the floor light up below him, à la Jackson’s video for “Billie Jean.” After Drake completes his spin, he’s wearing an MJ glove and jacket.
Drake copied Michael Jackson’s HIStory teaser in his latest music video ft J Cole . Plus had the floor light up like in Billie Jean. He is also wearing the glove and the jacket, and tries to dance like MJ. https://t.co/N9UmQ1MUGl
As pointed out above, the song in which he rapped about being “one away from Michael” ironically became the one that tied him with Michael. The hook of “First Person Shooter” also spawned the title of Drake and J. Cole’s newly announced joint 2024 tour,It’s All A Blur Tour — Big As The What?

A couple in Gatesville, Texas, have started an interesting debate on TikTok over whether it’s right for them to charge their 19-year-old daughter rent to live with them after graduating high school. Ranchers Erika and Cody Archie, who go by Bay7Ranch on TikTok, have a million followers on the platform where people watch their videos documenting life on a ranch.
Kylee Archie graduated high school in May of 2022, and on June 1, she started paying her parents $200 a month in rent.
“Our thought together is that since [Kylee] has graduated, I told her… I been telling her, ‘June the first, our rent’s due if you continue to live here,”‘ said Cody, who is a bit more strict than his wife, said in the viral video.
“I thought that was a little harsh, I mean, maybe a little leeway,” Erika added. “200 bucks a month is plenty cheap to live like a grub in your parents’ house,” Cody continued. “That’s cheaper than she eats in food,” the mother added. “We think it teaches them a good lesson in paying bills.”
How do you feel about making your adult children pay rent to live at home?
How do you feel about making your adult children pay rent to live at home? This is a REPOST from last year but since its on Fox Business News right now we thought we’d chat about it again! #Parenting #ParentsChargingRent #AdultChildren #DryHumor #Sarcasm #MarriageHumor #Marriage #CoupleTok #RanchTok #AgTok #KeepRanchin #KingOfTikTok #RanchLife #Ranch
Understanding that the issue might stir controversy, the couple asked its followers if they agreed. “How do you feel about making your adult children pay rent to live at home?” they captioned the video.
The responses were a mixed bag of pros and cons. Some thought it was a good idea because it teaches responsibility and prevents kids from doing nothing because they’re being enabled. “Responsibility is always a great lesson!” James Jackson wrote. “Collect rent, then give it back when they move out,” John Deere added.
Others think that the world is hard enough and that it’s the parents’ job to support their kids, no matter what. “Nope, my son is 23, and we don’t charge him. He works and helps around the house…but life is hard enough and not gonna charge my kid,” Shelly wrote. “No, because I wanted them to save money to get out faster. If they are paying me, they aren’t saving to get out,” Tammy Lynn Ballard wrote.
“A definite no for me… I know it’s rare, but I will forever help my kids… no matter the age,” Chief’s Wife 101 wrote. “No one ever said we wouldn’t be here to help our kids forever,” the Archies responded.
The Archies’ situation isn’t unique. As of July 2022, 50% of adults in America aged 18 to 29 were living with their parents. But should they be required to pay rent? A majority of Americans say they should. A recent poll of 15000 Americans found that 57% say adult children living with their parents should have to pay rent.
One of the biggest balancing acts of parenting is deciding whether you give your kids too much or too little. An old saying may help people in a similar situation: You should give your kids enough so they can do something but not so much that they do nothing. That goes both ways, giving your kids too much help will make them dependent, so they don’t have the fire in their bellies to become successful. However, a kid who gets too little may not have the resources to pursue their goals in the first place.

The Golden State Warriors will be without the services of Draymond Green for the next five games after the NBA handed down punishment for Tuesday night’s kerfuffle against the Minnesota Timberwolves, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.
After Klay Thompson and Jaden McDaniels got tangled up in a jersey tug-of-war, Rudy Gobert grabbed Klay Thompson from behind to pry him off his teammate, which led to Draymond Green jumping in and putting Gobert in a chokehold. Green did not release Gobert after he let go of Thompson and had the sleeper locked in for a good amount of time before finally letting go. Green, Thompson, and McDaniels were all ejected from the game. But while we’re still waiting for official word from the league, it’s safe to assume that Green’s actions were seen as an unnecessary escalation of the scrap and, given his history of altercations, it comes as little surprise the league would respond with a suspension of this magnitude.
The NBA is suspending Golden State’s Draymond Green for five games, source tells ESPN. Significant hit for the Warriors. pic.twitter.com/QlexGdXNUd
Green has been suspended a handful of times in the past, both by the league and the Warriors. He was suspended twice a season ago, once by the league for stomping on Domantas Sabonis in the Warriors-Kings playoff series and once by the team during training camp for punching Jordan Poole in the face at practice. This will be the longest suspension of his career, as he has typically just served one-game suspensions for his antics, but this time the league clearly wanted to send a stronger message that you can’t throw guys in chokeholds on the court.
When well known songs are thrust into seemingly opposite genres, it’s a wonderful reminder of just how powerful music really is. The lyrics can suddenly take on whole new meaning, adding a level of nuance to the song not previously felt.
Take “Believe” by Cher. Though the lyrics of her iconic late 90s hit tell the story of recovering after heartbreak, the full emotional scope of that gets somewhat overshadowed when put through a euro dance-pop lens.
But what if we were to put those same lyrics into another genre…say…country? What would happen then?
Well, if country singer and “The Voice” contestant Alexa Wildish has anything to say about it, it means delivering a folksy, slow, and absolutely heartfelt performance that might have you reaching for the tissue rather than hitting the dance floor.
The 34-year-old Colorado native revealed in rehearsal that her own experience of first love inspired the cover, but wanted it to feel as though she had “written the song” herself.
The result is something stripped down and emotional raw, but still undeniably beautiful with embellished high notes and vocal runs—granting her a standing ovation and comparisons to Joni Mitchell.
Watch:
Beyond Wildish’s vocal prowess, viewers on Youtube couldn’t help but applaud her impeccable storytelling ability.
“An inspired performance! Her voice is so clear and pure. She took her time with the lyrics like she was wandering along telling the story. An absolutely magical performance!”
“The things that sets Alexa apart is that she really interprets songs in a songwriting style…how she takes this rocker song and interprets the lyrics in a melancholy style that makes you believe what she is saying.”
“Wow this is one of my favourite performances on this season so far.…the storytelling, the emotions, she just cuts right through — the clarity and subtle power in her voice too; the way she switched into full chest from a more subdued voice in the beginning. amazing. Definitely replaying this.”
Of course it’s fun to watch impressive high notes and big belts. But authenticity is also powerful. It can transport us anywhere—to places both foreign and familiar. And it’s what can flawlessly transform a lively pop song into a country ballad.
What are Republicans good for these days? Unless you count being bad at keeping House Speakers, the answer is not much. Who knows? Maybe you think it’s good that they’re still beholden to a serially indicted possible crook who tried to overturn an election. Perhaps you like that they’re constantly coming close to shutting down the government. There’s a chance you enjoy them almost starting actual fights or allegedly elbowing each other in the kidneys. But not everyone, GOP lawmakers among them, are impressed.
Roy: One thing. I want my Republican colleagues to give me one thing. One. That I can go campaign on and say we did. Anybody sitting in the complex, if you want to come down to the floor and come explain to me, one meaningful, significant thing the Republican majority has done pic.twitter.com/RGc4FTAelt
On Wednesday, the day after conservatives turned Capitol Hill into a WWE ring, Texas representative Chip Roy decided to go nuclear, too, albeit in a more productive fashion. Chief among his complaints is that since scoring a razor-thin control over the House earlier this year, they’ve used the time to do…well, nothing that’s good.
“You know, we have had a tumultuous year of sorts, but in the eyes of the American people, they’ve been watching from afar wondering when this body, the people’s House, will stand up in defense of the people who send us here,” Roy railed. “When are we going to do what we said we would do?”
Instead of slamming Democrats, Roy turned his ire to his own party members.
“For the life of me, I do not understand how you can go to the trouble of campaigning, raising money, going to events, talking to people, coming to this town as a member of a party who allegedly stands for something…and then do nothing about it,” Roy charged. “One thing: I want my Republican colleagues to give me one thing—one—that I can go campaign on and say we did. One!”
Roy then challenged his fellow Republicans to come to the floor and “explain to me one material, meaningful, significant thing the Republican majority has done.”
Fair enough, but there is one thing House Republicans have done: As Vanity Fair argued, Roy’s speech was a perfect summary of GOP crapulence, which Democrats can then use in damning ads. Consider it an early Christmas gift from Chip Roy.
What happens when you’re a songwriter whose music is labeled “too weird” for the mainstream? Pat Morrissey and Jess Corazza have an answer. They were working in the studio and collaborating with major artists like SZA and Weezer when they were offered a publishing deal. “Everyone kept saying, ‘The stuff that you’re writing is slightly too left-of-center — weirdo stuff,’” Morrissey said in a press statement.
So, they started their own band. And thus, Ill Peach was born. With their debut LP This Is Not An Exit, the group proves they perfected the science behind creating cathartic art rock. The group moves between totally ripping on tracks like the explosive “Blah Blah Blah” and album opener “Bloom,” and taking a softer, more cinematic angle on songs like “Hush” and “Head Full Of Holes.”
To celebrate their debut, Ill Peach sit down with Uproxx to talk armpit farts, LCD Soundsystem, and chanting Phoebe Bridgers’ name in our latest Q&A.
What are four words you would use to describe your music?
It’s 2050 and the world hasn’t ended and people are still listening to your music. How would you like it to be remembered?
Corazza: Remembered in the way that nostalgia hits you and takes you back to a moment/memory/time in life, but it still feels like an untouched sound.
Who’s the person who has most inspired your work, and why?
Corazza: 16 yr old me. Because every song on the album would go through the same test. Would that kid be into this or not? And if not, then we keep pushing it.
Where did you eat the best meal of your life and what was it?
Morrissey: Probably wild boar ragu in Italy. That was a recent one, so it’s the most memorable.
Tell us about the best concert you’ve ever attended.
Corazza: LCD Soundsystem at Hollywood Bowl. People let loose. We were in conga lines with strangers. Everyone was dancing, laughing, and singing. It was really magical, I kept finding friends.
What song never fails to make you emotional?
Morrissey: “House Of Cards” by Radiohead.
What’s the last thing you Googled?
Morrissey:: Who made Chef Boyardee?
Where’s the weirdest place you’ve ever crashed while on tour?
Corazza: A basement motel in Amsterdam — dark vibes.
What’s your favorite city in the world to perform and what’s the city you hope to perform in for the first time?
Morrissey: Honestly, Montreal was the loudest and most angsty crowd. We were on tour with Hayley Kiyoko for that one. That place rules. Also, best cappuccino I’ve ever had. I would love to perform in Tokyo and see that side of the world.
What’s one piece of advice you’d go back in time to give to your 18-year-old self?
Corazza: Don’t go to college. Just go live and find yourself. That sounds bad, but for me specifically, it would’ve helped me on my journey faster.
What’s one of your hidden talents?
Morrissey: I can do a wide range of armpit farts.
If you had a million dollars to donate to charity, what cause would you support and why?
Morrissey: Wow that’s hard. There are so many causes that deserve so much, but one thing we believe in is music and art. We would put that money towards several of the wonderful charities that put an emphasis on music for kids.
What are your thoughts about AI and the future of music?
Corazza: Well it’s frightening — just not really knowing how far it will go. I think if used as a tool it can help with creation, but as far as being able to personify anyone and creating music based off their likeness, I think it’s dangerous. Art is already in a fragile state.
You are throwing a music festival. Give us the dream lineup of 5 artists that will perform with you and the location it would be held.
Corazza: hmm this could be weird: Radiohead, Rufus Wainwright, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Idles, and Rosalía. Location: Stonehenge.
Who’s your favorite person to follow on social media?
Corazza:Hailee Catalano (she makes me hungry every time I watch her cook something) or Jayne Matthews (I cut both of our hair using a straight razor because of her).
What’s the story behind your first or favorite tattoo?
Morrissey: We both got our first tattoos when we first moved to New York. This girl at this party told us to go to this guy in Coney Island who was one of the OG Sailor Jerry guys. He would tattoo navy dudes in Times Square coming in off the boat who just had one night to party before going back out to service. Anyway, you show up at this guys house and put your name on a list and wait in his basement for hours and then he barely says anything, does the tattoo, and is like, “Just give me $40 for it.” It was a Frank Lloyd Wright-looking thing that Jess designed while we were waiting.
What is your pre-show ritual?
Morrissey: Lots of stretching and guttural sighs and then for some reason last year with our band before we go on stage we chant Phoebe Bridger’s name but we pronounce it different every time (i.e. Farby Barggles) don’t ask why. We love Phoebe. It’s more to just keep the spirit light and fun.
Who was your first celebrity crush?
Corazza: Leonardo DiCaprio; hardcore Titanic fan at a very young age.
You have a month off and the resources to take a dream vacation. Where are you going and who is coming with you?
Corazza: Either somewhere Nordic or complete opposite like Thailand or Japan. We would take our besties.
What is your biggest fear?
Corazza: Failure and getting older.

Just over two minutes into the Gibson Hazard-directed “First Person Shooter” video, a graphic appears. Said graphic claims that Drake is 6 feet, 2 inches. Fans online are clowning him for presumably exaggerating his height.
True Drake fans know that he rapped about being 6 feet, 1 inch in “Sneakin’” featuring 21 Savage, and it’s probably safe to assume that he hasn’t hit a growth spurt since More Life arrived in March 2017. While the only people who know Drake’s true height are Drake and Drake’s PCP, Google muddies the waters even more by listing Drake as 6-feet tall. We need Adonis’ next freestyle to address this issue.
