This is a video of Australian swimmer Ariarne Titmus’s coach Dean Boxall going absolutely nuts after her upset gold medal win in the 400-meter freestyle race. And can you blame him? He reminded me of Matthew McConaughey, although the announcers say he reminded them of Doc Brown and Mick Jagger.

This is a video of 13-time World Champion arm wrestler Irina Gladkaya of Russia destroying anyone foolish enough to challenge her (in an attempt to win $100) at Miami’s Muscle Beach. She, uh, she’s serious business. Could I beat her? Absolutely not. Could I have my arm broken so badly
Proving Thor is probably more of a bowler, this is a video of a kid hitting an 88MPH ball (maybe it was trying to time travel!) at Topgolf during a thunderstorm and the ball getting struck by lightning. Per Bill Murray’s character Carl Spackler in Caddyshack: “I’d keep playing. I
