Gathering them under false pretenses, we put them through a heart-racing challenge to see who could hold their nerve throughout.To succeed, they had to keep their heart rate low, their thoughts in order and their wits about them, answering questions during a white-knuckle drive at the hands of Aston Martin Driver Ambassador and stunt pro, Jessica Hawkins. See how Jess McDonell, Mike Channell, Tiffany Smith, Steffi Kasseckert aka Sheva Lion, and Alessandro Mello aka TheDarknessPGDM fared, and stream MobLand season 2 on Paramount+ now.Sponsored by Paramount+

Hot Jimothy summer is over; now it’s “three bowls of water” fall.

The Jimothy craze has died down up here in Seattle just in time for a new Weird Internet Thing: three mysterious bowls of water on the walking path around Green Lake. It started with an innocent question on r/Seattle: what’s up with the bowls? Commenters turned it into a bit, because we can’t resist a bit, which inspired an on-the-scene report by City Cast Seattle. Spoiler alert: it’s probably just water for dogs, but I like the mysterious “geese” theory. [Media: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Ddpc1UpBaJq/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&stkn=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D]

Rockstar’s GTA VI collectible box packs a “swizzle stick,” mirror, hat, and more for $399.99, but no game.

Not only is the price higher than the $90 GTA IV and $150 GTA V collectible sets, but this time around Rockstar says “Grand Theft Auto VI game sold separately,” for $79.99 or $99.99, respectively. What you do get in that $400 box is a 6-inch figurine of Macca the Gator with a stash compartment, a matching spoon and magnetic mirror that are definitely not made to snort stuff stored in said stash compartment, plus GTA-branded Oakley sunglasses, hat, a crossbody bag, a shot glass, stickers, pins, and a souvenir poster.
