Did you hear about the Connecticut parents who let their 5-year-old daughter swim with sharks on their vacation in the Bahamas?

Naturally, mom blogs and morning shows are beside themselves with joy as this incident has caused a larger debate on the pros and cons of the parenting philosphy equivalent of "YOLO."

But it seems to us this is a case of real life imitating web video art, since Steve Rannazzisi's character in Daddy Knows Best believed that letting his kid swim with sharks would guarantee viral video success.

The Daddy Knows Best video premiered in April, and the Connecticut YOLO family uploaded their video to YouTube in June. Hmm...coincidence? Seems the only difference between real life and fiction is that the fictional father at least thought to put his kid in a cage. Surely a cage would have made all the difference in the world, right?

Are you in the comments, YOLO family? Are you watching? Let us know! And tell us if you'd like to recreate any other Daddy Knows Best videos! Or at least, give us the exclusive on the footage you shoot of your kid visiting a strip club, okay?

Today we learned that Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, wife of the future King of England, and total fox, is pregnant with Prince William's Royal Baby.  

Now, it's a well-known fact that I'm pretty into the entire Royal Family. It started when I lived in London for three months back in college, and after that, I read some books about various members of the royal family, like The Diana Chronicles by Tina Brown. Good reading!  I'm a loser! KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON! 

So, in honor of this momentous occasion, I will be giving you my top 5 members of the Royal Family, past and present.

5) Princess Diana, Princess of Wales - Okay, I'll be honest. I'm only putting Diana on the list because if I don't, people will probably get upset and write angry letters to me complaining that I left Diana off. She definitely had charm and moxie, and she did a lot to help the less fortunate, but she didn't have the right constitution to be in the Royal Family: she was too sensitive and kind to be involved with the extremely weird and messed up world of the British Royals. That said, the people of England loved her. She's the people's choice.

4) Prince Harry of Wales - The dude's a menace. Showing up to Halloween as a Nazi! Underage drinking! The smoking of cannabis! Nude billiard parties in Vegas! I'd party with Prince Harry any day of the week. It kind of sucks for him that he's a ginger, but whatever, it's OK because he's royalty and all.

3) Henry VIII - Six wives, son! Six! Dude must've been a player. I mean, except for him killing Anne Boleyn pretty much just because he was tired of her, he seemed pretty charismatic. Plus, there's this classic tune.

2) Elizabeth II - She's done it all. She's seen it all. You can't rattle her. You can't phase her. She's been serving the realm as Queen since 1952.  She was there for the Great War, and this year she had her Diamond Jubilee, celebrating 60 years as Queen. You know how hard it is to hold any job for 60 years? Near impossible. Sure, it was her divine right and it's impossible to take the throne away from her, but still! 60 years ain't nothing to laugh at.

1) Colin Firth - Out of all the Royals, Colin Firth was the best King of England of all-time. He didn't plan on being King; his brother Guy was supposed to be king. But when it was time for Colin to sit on the throne-- even though he had a severe speech impediment!-- he came through big time and helped England get through World War II. Colin Firth was the best monarch ever, hands down.  

That's my definitive list. Congrats to William and Kate!

Hello all!

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day which is the dumbest holiday of the year, yes dumber than Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day, but alas I have some advice for you. It's how to ask someone out!

Do you have a crush? Or maybe you're just hanging out in a bar and you spot a cute guy/girl? All the time people are like "blah blah blah, waaaaah, that person is cute but I don't know what to say" and then I slap them across the face and say "have some confidence!"

It's quite simple, actually, all you have to do is walk over to her/him and say the first thing that pops into your head. It's really that simple. Remember when you were in kindergarten and you were trying to make friends so you would just say random shit to other kids? It's kind of like that, except don't talk about stuff five-year-olds talk about… talk about stuff people your age talk about, unless you are actually five-years-old and reading this blog, in which case: congratulations on learning to read!

"But Chris, what if they reject me? What if they don't like me or think I'm weird?" you ask as I slap you across the face again. Who cares? Why would you want to spend any time with someone who doesn't want to spend time with you? It's their loss. Move on to the next one.

"But Chris, what if the next one rejects me, too?" you ask, as I slap you across the face for the third time. Your face must hurt now. How many times do I have to tell you? MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ONE. I try to talk to as many girls as I possibly can and I'd say I connect with 1 out of 10 girls I talk to. That's a lot of rejection, but does it bother me? Hell, no, it doesn't bother me! You know why? BECAUSE I'M A MAN and I'm the best and the only person who is missing out is the person who rejects me.

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day. Go out and talk to as many lonely guys/girls as you possibly can. You may meet the love of your life! You may have already been in the same room/subway car/grocery store/elevator as the love of your life but if you didn't say the simple word "hello" you'll never know.

Be confident. Be the best you that you can be. YOLO!

OKAY EVERYONE QUICK! GUESS WHO MY FAVORITE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD ARE? 

If you said the Workaholics dudes, Anders Holm, Adam Devine, Blake Anderson, and also Beth Hoyt, then you are 1,000 percent correct and will be receiving a prize from my brain to your brain via the International E.S.P. Network Of Love! (Tweet me when you receive this transmission to let me know that the I.E.S.P.N.O.L. is working properly.)  My brain nearly exploded when I saw all four of them together in this video:

Seriously though, I am seriously into the show Workaholics.  I don't know those dudes personally, but I feel proud of them: they seem like some of the dudes I hang out with and it's awesome to see that kind of dude out in the world of comedy making bank and taking names with their own personal brand of silliness.  YEAH!  THEY DO THINGS IN THE SHOW I LIKE TO DO IN REAL LIFE!  PARTY!  GET WEIRD!  As you can see, I'm amped.

And Beth.  Oh sweet, sweet Beth.  I love ya, but I am uber jealous that you got to hang with these fellas.  If you could, please send me a lock of Blake's hair.  Thanks in advance.

Moral of the story: AWESOME COMBO OF BETH AND WORKAHOLICS.  

That is all.
