My Favorite Thing Today: Balancing Act With Very Special Guest Star

talented balancing street act

My favorite thing today – check out this talented acrobatic dance duo, FreeAcro Souls, performing a balancing act to “Never Enough” from The Greatest Showman.

All of their flips and twirls are very musically in sync with the track, and you must wait for the very special guest star to appear at the end.

This was the routine that won the duo this year’s edition of Got Talent Portugal. That performance is below as well, but I think the spontaneity of the outdoors makes the first clip even better.

My Favorite Thing Today: Customer Told To Leave After Repeatedly Misgendering Employee

My absolute favorite thing today – the owner of a Burger King politely listens to a rude customer complain about an employee calling her “sir” after the customer had repeatedly misgendered her.

My Favorite Thing Today

When The Randy Report began in 2011, I used to have the news on throughout the day. NBC News, ABC News, CBS News, CNN, MSNBC – yes, even Fox News – because I wanted to stay up-to-date on all the breaking news. But over the years, a constant stream of news became pretty heavy when you consider what’s happened in the US in the past several years. So… Continue reading “My Favorite Thing Today”

I recently came upon a Twitter thread from 2019 that literally made me stop and catch my breath. On March 4, 2019, one Twitter user asked the question: “What is the kindest thing a stranger has done or said to you?” Several stories were posted, but this one, from Joe in Chicago, stood out for obvious reasons.
