Sage Pasch’s unique family situation has attracted a lot of attention recently. The 20-something mother of 2 shared a 6-second TikTok video on September 29 that has been viewed over 33 million times because it shows how hard it can be for young moms to be taken seriously.
In the video, the young-looking Pasch took her son Nick to the ER after he injured his leg at school. But when the family got to the hospital, the doctor couldn’t believe Pasch was his mother. “POV, we’re at the ER, and the doctor didn’t believe I was the parent,” she captioned the post.
Pasch and her fiancé , Luke Faircloth, adopted the teen in 2022 after his parents tragically died two years apart. “Nick was already spending so much time with us, so it made sense that we would continue raising him,” Pasch told Today.com.
The couple also has a 17-month-old daughter named Lilith.
Pasch says that people are often taken aback by her family when they are out in public. “Everybody gets a little confused because my fiancé and I are definitely younger to have a teenager,” she said. “It can be very frustrating.”
It may be hard for the young parents to be taken seriously, but their story has made a lot of people in a similar situation feel seen. “Omg, I feel this. I took my son to the ER, and they asked for the guardian. Yes, hi, that’s me,” Brittany wrote in the comments. “Meee with my teenager at a parent-teacher conference. They think I’m her older sister and say we need to talk with your parents,” KatMonroy added.
Everyone wants to know how long they will live and there are many indicators that can show whether someone is thriving or on the decline. But people have yet to develop a magic formula to determine exactly how long someone should expect to live.
However, a doctor recently featured on the “Today” show says a straightforward test can reveal the likelihood that someone aged 51 to 80 will die in the near future.
NBC News medical contributor Dr. Natalie Azar was on the “Today” show on March 8 and demonstrated how to perform the simple “sit to stand test” (aka sit-rising test or SRT) that can help determine the longevity of someone between 51 to 80.
The test is pretty simple. Go from standing to sitting cross-legged, and then go back to standing without using any parts of your body besides your legs and core to help you get up and down. The test measures multiple longevity factors, including heart health, balance, agility, core and leg strength and flexibility.
You begin the test with a score of 10 and subtract points on your way up and down for doing the following:
Hand used for support: -1 point
Knee used for support: -1 point
Forearm used for support: -1 point
One hand on knee or thigh: -1 point
Side of leg used for support: -1 point
None

A 2012 study published by the European Society of Cardiology found a correlation between the SRT score and how long people live. The study was conducted on 2002 people, 68% of whom were men, who performed the SRT test and were followed by researchers in the coming years. The study found that “Musculoskeletal fitness, as assessed by SRT, was a significant predictor of mortality in 51–80-year-old subjects.”
Those who scored in the lowest range, 0 to 3, had up to a 6 times greater chance of dying than those in the highest scores (8 to 10). About 40% of those in the 0 to 3 range died within 11 years of the study.
Azar distilled the study on “Today,” saying: “The study found that the lower the score, you were seven times more likely to die in the next six years.”
“Eight points or higher is what you want,” Azar said. “As we get older, we spend time talking cardiovascular health and aerobic fitness, but balance, flexibility and agility are also really important,” she stressed.
One should note that the people who scored lowest on the test were the oldest, giving them an elevated risk of death.
Dr. Greg Hartley, Board Certified Geriatric Clinical Specialist and associate professor at the University of Miami, told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that we should take the study with a grain of salt. “Frailty, strength, muscle mass, physical performance—those things are all correlated to mortality, but I would caution everybody that correlation doesn’t mean causation,” he said.
And of course, the test doesn’t take into account injuries or disabilities that may make doing the test impossible. But one of the study’s authors says that the study is a call to take our mobility seriously.
“The more active we are the better we can accommodate stressors, the more likely we are to handle something bad that happens down the road,” Dr. Claudio Gil Araujo, told USA Today.
If you were to ask a random group of people, “How often do you wash your sheets?” you’d likely get drastically different answers. There are the “Every single Sunday without fail” folks, the “Who on Earth washes their sheets weekly?!?” people and everyone in between.
According to a survey of 1,000 Americans conducted by Mattress Advisor, the average time between sheet changings or washings in the U.S. is 24 days—or every 3 1/2 weeks, approximately. The same survey revealed that 35 days is the average interval at which unwashed sheets are “gross.”
Some of you are cringing at those stats while others are thinking, “That sounds about right.” But how often should you wash your sheets, according to experts?
Hint: It’s a lot more frequent than 24 days.
While there is no definitive number of days or weeks, most experts recommend swapping out used sheets for clean ones every week or two.
Dermatologist Alok Vij, MD told Cleveland Clinic that people should wash their sheets at least every two weeks, but probably more often if you have pets, live in a hot climate, sweat a lot, are recovering from illness, have allergies or asthma or if you sleep naked.
We shed dead skin all the time, and friction helps those dead skin cells slough off, so imagine what’s happening every time you roll over and your skin rubs on the sheets. It’s normal to sweat in your sleep, too, so that’s also getting on your sheets. And then there’s dander and dust mites and dirt that we carry around on us just from living in the world, all combining to make for pretty dirty sheets in a fairly short period of time, even if they look “clean.”
Maybe if you shower before bed and always wear clean pajamas you could get by with a two-week sheet swap cycle, but weekly sheet cleaning seems to be the general consensus among the experts. The New York Times consulted five books about laundry and cleaning habits, and once a week was what they all recommend.
Sorry, once-a-monthers. You may want to step up your sheet game a bit.
What about the rest of your bedding? Blankets and comforters and whatnot?
Sleep.com recommends washing your duvet cover once a week, but this depends on whether you use a top sheet. Somewhere between the Gen X and Millennial eras, young folks stopped being about the top sheet life, just using their duvet with no top sheet. If that’s you, wash that baby once a week. If you do use a top sheet, you can go a couple weeks longer on the duvet cover.
For blankets and comforters and duvet inserts, Sleep.com says every 3 months. And for decorative blankets and quilts that you don’t really use, once a year washing will suffice.
What about pillows? Pillowcases should go in with the weekly sheet washing, but pillows themselves should be washed every 3 to 6 months. Washing pillows can be a pain, and if you don’t do it right, you can end up with a lumpy pillow, but it’s a good idea because between your sweat, saliva and skin cells, pillows can start harboring bacteria.
Finally, how about the mattress itself? Home influencers on TikTok can often be seen stripping their beds, sprinkling their mattress with baking soda, brushing it into the mattress fibers and then vacuuming it all out. Architectural Digest says the longer you leave baking soda on the mattress, the better—at least a few hours, but preferably overnight. Some people add a few drops of essential oil to the baking soda for some extra yummy smell.
If that all sounds like way too much work, maybe just start with the sheets. Pick a day of the week and make it your sheet washing day. You might find that climbing into a clean, fresh set of sheets more often is a nice way to feel pampered without a whole lot of effort.
Nineteen-sixty-nine was a pivotal year in American culture. The hippies and the counterculture were ascendant, and everything that came before in entertainment was as square as can be.
In cinema, there was the world before and after 1969’s “Easy Rider.” In music, the Woodstock Music and Arts Fair was a defining moment for the new era, and on television, the anti-establishment “Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour” divided households over its anti-war stance.
In September of that year, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young (CSN&Y) were asked to play a duet with Welsh singer Tom Jones on his television show and the pairing was a perfect example of the culture clash. Jones was famous for his hit songs “It’s Not Unusual” and “What’s New Pussycat?” and was adept at dodging panties being thrown at him by the adoring ladies in the audience.
CSN&Y had just played Woodstock and were known for the anti-war anthem “Wooden Ships” and “Long Time Gone” about the assassination of Robert Kennedy.
For the performance, Jones and CSN&Y played a rendition of “Long Time Gone,” and what’s impressive is that Jones does not hold back and forced the rest of the band to keep up. Steven Stills, on electric piano, tries his best to match Jones’ bravado on his lines but falls short.
David Crosby has a look on his face of pure awe when he looks at Jones (although he was known for being in “awe” quite often in the days).
Throughout the performance, the hard-to-impress Neil Young seemingly goes from a look of pure disdain to “This rocks.” The performance is an excellent example of music’s ability to bridge cultural divides and bring people together.
Tom Jones & Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young – Long Time Gone – This is Tom Jones TV Show
The NBA is heading to Las Vegas for Summer League later this week, but before that, a few teams are participating in the California Classic Summer League in San Francisco and Sacramento. On Saturday night, a collection of Sacramento Kings players took on the Chinese National Team at Golden 1 Center, and at one point, the latest addition to the team’s roster showed up.
The Kings pulled off a sign-and-trade earlier in the evening to acquire DeMar DeRozan from the Chicago Bulls — the San Antonio Spurs were also involved in the deal. It had previously been reported that DeRozan was in town to meet with Sacramento’s decision makers, and ultimately, an arrangement got sorted out to bring DeRozan in as a running mate for De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis. And as an added bonus, because there were a ton of Kings fans in the arena to watch the team, DeRozan got to show up to a hero’s welcome, all while the Kendrick Lamar track “Not Like Us” played.
DeMar DeRozan was just introduced to the crowd in Sacramento to the tune of Kendrick Lamar’s “They Not Like Us.” pic.twitter.com/yhFu6hy1m7
DeRozan joined Kings owner Vivek Ranadive, who presumably spent a ton of time talking to him throughout the day. And of course, the soundtrack couldn’t have been much better, as DeRozan appeared in the music video that Lamar dropped earlier this week and joined him on stage as he performed the song at The Pop Out last month.
A year ago, Brad Pitt was a fixture at Formula 1 races not just as one of the many famous fans taking a stroll around the paddock area, but in a fire suit filming an ambitious (and expensive) new movie with Apple Films. Pitt and Damson Idris star in the upcoming movie, which is in very good hands in the realism department as it is being produced by Lewis Hamilton and directed by Joseph Kosinski, who did Top Gun: Maverick.
On Sunday, prior to the British Grand Prix at Silverstone — where Pitt, Idris, and company were back for another round of filming after the strikes last year cut their filming time short — we got the first teaser trailer for F1 and it looks incredible.
The only dialogue we hear in the first trailer is Pitt telling his engineer that he needs the team to “build the car for combat” in the turns, noting they don’t have the straightaway speed to compete. She replies wondering “How am I supposed to make that safe?”, earning a quick quip from Pitt of “Who said anything about safe?”
From there, we get a solid minute of clips from the track, where Pitt got in the car to create an extremely real feel to the action, with a look very similar to Top Gun: Maverick as Kosinski highlights the realism by putting a camera right in their face to show that’s really them in the car — albeit a modified F2/F3 car that’s a touch slower — to heighten the stakes. We also see cameos from a ton of F1 stars — including former Haas principal Guenther Steiner getting the bird flipped at him from the Pitt team pits — as they took full advantage of having free reign on race weekends.
With a summer 2025 release, we probably won’t get anything more on the film until early next year — it wouldn’t surprise me if we got a Super Bowl ad to capture the sports audience — but the first look is certainly promising in terms of how the movie will look and feel.
Prime Video/Amazon’s *other* outlandish take on superheroes, Invincible, also happens to be Robert Kirkman’s *other* currently running brainchild based upon his comics. The third season of this no-holds-barred animated series was confirmed to have already finished recording voice work back in April, and the good news is that (unlike with the second season, when we waited so long to find out what happened after the stratosphere-bound fight between Mark and his dad, Omni-Man) there won’t be a multi-year wait for the threequel season.
Is the timing of more Invincible taking a cue from the rapid-fire release schedule of AMC’s The Walking Dead spin offs? That would be too optimistic of a call to make, but since Hollywood hasn’t experienced more industry-wide delays this year, creativity has been rolling. Let’s get down to business on what to expect from more of Mark Grayson’s adventures.
Plot
Robert Kirkman, who not only authored the Invincible comics but is also the TV series creator, recently spoke with Variety on numerous issues relevant to the third season. First, however, he appeared to share some positive news with fans who weren’t thrilled about how the second season was split into two halves. In doing so, Kirkman admitted that the strategy was “necessary for the production of Season 2,” but he understands that this was “not the best” method for viewers. He made no promises about moving away from the split-season structure, “[b]ut, you live and learn so we’ll have to see how things go moving forward.”
From there, Kirkman declared that he obviously would not be giving spoilers away, but expect more good stuff from the mouth of Walton Goggins: “There’s a lot of great stuff with Cecil Stedman. We get to see a little bit of his backstory and get to know a little bit more about him as a person.” Additionally, viewers should expect Mark and Eve’s relationship to be “evolving in some really exciting way.” Also expect to hear more of J.K. Simmons, who voices Omni-Man, because “He’s gonna be in Season 3 a little more,” probably after fleeing from the Viltrumites. However, Kirkman stressed that they will not let Omni-Man take over the show because “this is the Mark Grayson-Invincible show; it’s not the Omni-Man show.”
Any other tidbits? Yes. Oliver/Kid Omni-Man (the son of Nolan and Andressa) will grow up rapidly because of his Thraxan heritage, and we can count on Mark moving onto his blue suit. Additionally, the third season also provides the perfect opportunity to showcase the Invincible War and a showdown between Mark and Conquest, although no legit source has confirmed that the show will barrel in those directions when returning. There is, however, a predicted window for release (from a star of the series) as detailed below.
Cast
The expansive cast includes Steven Yeun (Mark Grayson/Invincible), J.K. Simmons (Nolan Grayson/Omni-Man), Sandra Oh (Debbie Grayson), Gillian Jacobs (Eve Wilkins/Atom Eve), Zazie Beetz (Amber Bennett), Walton Goggins (Cecil Stedman), Zachary Quinto (Robot), Ross Marquand (The Immortal, Aquarius, Omnipotus, Kursk, Proprietor — dude is busy), Jason Mantzoukas (Rex Sloan/Rex Splode), Seth Rogen (Allen, the Alien), Kevin Michael Richardson (the Mauler Twins), Sterling K. Brown (Angstrom Levy), and Tatiana Maslany (General Telia and Queen Aquaria). Other co-stars include Daveed Diggs, Calista Flockhart, Ben Schwartz, Lea Thompson, and Scoot McNairy.
Release Date
Via Comic Book, Ross Marquand fielded “so, when?” questions while recently appearing at Galaxy Con, and although he didn’t totally spill, he suggested that Invincible would likely return in early 2025. During the course of this revelation, Marquand declared, “[W]e’re almost wrapped… I don’t want to speak because Robert would be like, ‘Don’t tell people anything because we don’t know.’ But I have a feeling it’s probably going to be early next year.”
Trailer
Since no trailer has been released yet, perhaps this video of Steven Yeun, J.K. Simmons, and Sandra Oh’s voice-work magic can stretch that itch for now.
Every single week, our TV and film experts will list the most important ten streaming selections for you to pop into your queues. We’re not strictly operating upon reviews or accrued streaming clicks (although yes, we’ve scoured the streaming site charts) but, instead, upon those selections that are really worth noticing amid the churning sea of content. There’s a lot out there, after all, and your time is valuable.
Despicable Me 4 is now distracting the Inside Out 2 audience at the box office and perhaps at home, too. Do not fear, though. Anxiety has already helped this franchise score the first billion-dollar haul of the 2024 box office. Surely, it’s only a matter of time before Joy, Sadness, Disgust, Fear, and Anger will receive an official threequel announcement, and by then, the first film will likely be in heavy rotation again at home.
9. In A Violent Nature (IFC Films/Shudder movie on VOD & Amazon)
If you wanted to wait to catch this horror sensation at a more convenient time (when you can puke in private, that is), then you are in luck. This film will eventually land on Shudder, but for now, the movie can be rented for those who cannot live any longer without a horror fix and have already seen A Quiet Place: Day One in theaters and found out if the cat lives or dies. FWIW, Stephen King compared the killer to a Minion, so be careful out there.
8. A Quiet Place Part II (Paramount Pictures film streaming on Hulu)
Speaking of which, John Krasinski’s original sleeper film of this franchise is there for the taking, along with the followup in which he only appears for a day-one-esque scene that occurs in small town as opposed to this prequel movie starring Lupita Nyong’o, Joseph Quinn, and an adorable kitty. The sequel is certainly worth a revisit, so that Emily Blunt and Millicent Simmonds can forge out, and Milly can save everybody’s tushes out in the open, rather than simply in the basement where her family resided. Additionally, Cillian Murphy’s haunted eyes star in this movie, although his famous cheekbones are hidden by a beard. That’s a true sign of post-apocalyptic times.
7. My Lady Jane (Prime Video series streaming on Amazon)
Prepare for “a radical retelling” of Lady Jane Grey’s historical fate as addressed in the best-selling books by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows. This version of the story imagines what would have happened if Lady Jane escaped her execution after she became queen of England. Let’s just say that things get dramatic, romantic, and even spicy.
Jessica Alba took a lengthy break from filmmaking, but she’s back and kicking even more ass than her Dark Angel days. In this movie, she portrays a special forces commando who learns that going home after her father’s death isn’t really going home. She must fend off a violent gang who is awfully interested in her digging around for answers, and although plenty of prep work surely went into the stunts and fight scenes, Alba makes the action look effortless. Don’t be surprised if you hear about a sequel soon, and it’s simply nice to see Alba starring a film that she really wanted to make.
In contrast to Alba, Jake Gyllenhaal (or at least his character) is having anything but a good time in this story. The Roadhouse star is straddling genres this year, and here, he portrays a prosecutor who finds himself in deep trouble after his affair with a colleague led to enough lingering DNA that he ends up being a suspect for her murder. Not only that, but Jake’s Rusty was supposedly a happy family man, so there are multiple disasters to clean up in this adaptation of Scott Turow’s book of the same name. Jake also had to pretend to not be physically fit while running on a treadmill. That’s acting.
Well, the entire third season dropped at once, so of course a majority of TV lovers have either already binged like mad or plan to do so soon. This year, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross have contributed a telltale score, which is appropriate when Carmy self destructs to an even greater degree than when he got trapped in the freezer. As long as Richie keeps wearing suits, though, it’s all good. We’ll surely have more discussions of this season in the coming weeks, and we’ll keep you posted on those topics right here after they happen.
Eddie Murphy returns to the mean streets forty years after the first movie in this franchise. This reboot feels perhaps inevitable, but sometimes, you just want to stream a wisecracking action comedy. Those tendencies are reflected in the Netflix charts, so perhaps this is what dads are watching instead of Kevin Costner’s Horizon? This blast from the past also includes original co-stars Judge Reinhold, Bronson Pinchot, John Ashton, and Paul Reiser.
Hughie seriously needs a break at this point, and this week’s episode, where he ends up in Tek Knight’s lair, is not for the faint of heart. Elsewhere, viewers are very worried that a member of The Seven could soon die, and Firecracker has seemingly won Homelander over, although god only knows how long that will last. Sister Sage’s “vacations” remain an uncomfortably funny aspect of this season, and MM now sits at a crossroads. Two more episodes left before the wait for the fifth and final season begins.
1. House of the Dragon (HBO series streaming on Max)
This past week’s episode saw Daemon’s awkward Harrenhal arrival, which brought hallucinations and a mysterious woman whose intents remain a mystery for now. Meanwhile, Aemond showed the audience everything he’s got, and both Aegon and Cole continue to be horribly annoying with the latter’s terrible haircut being far more distracting from the story than it should be. Perhaps he got singed by “Dracarys.”
The Emmys don’t have a great track record in many categories (justice for Rhea Seehorn), but credit where credit is due, the voters get it right more often than not when it comes to Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series. The last eight winners: The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story, Big Little Lies, The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story, Chernobyl, Watchmen, The Queen’s Gambit, The White Lotus, and most recently, Beef.
But creator Lee Sung Jin never imagined the rapturously-received Netflix and A24 dark comedy, which followed two strangers played by Steven Yeun and Ali Wong whose lives converge following a road rage incident, as a limited series.
“I wanted it to have a conclusive feel just in case but there are a lot of ideas on my end to keep this story going,” he explained to Rolling Stone. “I have one really big general idea that I can’t really say yet, but I have three seasons mapped out in my head currently.” Will Beef bring back Yeun and Wong in season 2 (which would make it ineligible as a Limited Series)? Or will there be an entirely new cast?
Here’s everything we know about Beef season 2.
Plot
A day after winning Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series at the 2024 Emmys, Beef creator Lee Sung Jin was asked by The Hollywood Reporter about a potential second season and whether Danny and Amy, the characters played by Yeun and Wong, could return.
“For season 2, it’s hard to even imagine whether it’s the same universe until we really start to excavate and see what wants to rear its head. And then we’ll chase it, and if that includes the same universe or some fun little callback, great, but that would be ornamental to all of it. I really need to look into the abyss and see what’s staring back first,” he answered.
Lee also teased to Collider that season 2 will be “fulfilling, boundary-pushing, and truthful,” although he offered no specific details.
The closest we’ve come to an actual plot is a report from Deadline that “the storyline this time will revolve around two feuding couples.” As for the actors who might play the couples…
Cast
Beef isn’t set in an exotic location, but it’s still a coveted opportunity for an actor to star in a hit show that won a bunch of Emmys (including trophies for both leads). Along those lines, Beef is courting some big names in season 2.
Deadline originally reported that Charles Melton / Cailee Spaeny and Jake Gyllenhaal / Anne Hathaway were being eyed as the sparring couples, but with apologies to fans of Love & Other Drugs (all 12 of you), Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan are now being eyed for the Jake / Anne roles. Melton and Spaeny, who were both snubbed for Oscars for their performances in May December and Priscilla, respectively, are still expected to play the other couple.
Release Date
A 2025 premiere is likely, although not confirmed.
Trailer
Netflix hasn’t released a trailer (or anything) for season 2, so until then, please enjoy Steven Yeun’s acoustic cover of “Drive” by Incubus.
The last big name on the NBA free agent market has found a new home, as DeMar DeRozan will end up in Sacramento as part of a three-team sign-and-trade involving the Bulls and the Spurs.
ESPN Sources with @TimBontemps: The Sacramento Kings are agreed on a sign-and-trade that will land DeMar DeRozan on a three-year deal, send Harrison Barnes to the San Antonio Spurs and Chris Duarte, two second-round picks and cash to the Chicago Bulls. pic.twitter.com/eopPkSPBvc
Word broke early on Saturday that DeRozan was flying out to Sacramento to meet with the Kings, and shortly after, the Spurs traded Devonte’ Graham’s expiring contract and a second round pick back to the Charlotte Hornets to help clear about $20 million in cap space.
The San Antonio Spurs are trading guard Devonte Graham and a second-round pick to the Charlotte Hornets, sources tell ESPN. The Hornets will waive Graham, allowing him to become a free agent. pic.twitter.com/khvOdlyrDy
That happened to be just enough to take on Harrison Barnes or Kevin Huerter to facilitate the DeRozan sign-and-trade and fulfill the Bulls’ desire to not take back any money in the deal. Huerter will stay in Sacramento, with Barnes being the veteran on the way out to clear up space.
The Kings land the forward upgrade they’ve been chasing for a full year, as they’ve been tied to every single wing and power forward on the trade market since last summer. It will be interesting to see how DeRozan fits within the Kings offensive tempo, as he tends to operate at a more deliberate pace than Sacramento has, but the Kings also could use a calming influence on their halfcourt offense. He and Domantas Sabonis will have to develop a rapport for spacing, as DeRozan often operates in the mid-post area. While all of that will require some work and reps to get comfortable, the Kings will be getting a much more dynamic offensive playmaker who can create for himself, something they have lacked alongside De’Aaron Fox in recent seasons.
The Bulls continue their franchise reset, as they clearly are looking to get younger and rebuild (although, likely without bottoming out), and get themselves under the tax. San Antonio adds another veteran to their young team, as they use their cap space to upgrade their rotation in the short-term without sacrificing the long-term ability to acquire stars.
