Story Tyme on The Morning Crave…
Story 1: Playing Four Hours of Video Games Every Day Is Good for Your Mental Health
Repeat after me: You’re not “wasting four hours a day playing video games” . . . you’re “devoting four hours a day to wellness.”
According to a new study out of Oxford University, playing video games can be GOOD for your mental health. The researchers found people who played video games had a better sense of wellbeing than people who didn’t.
The researchers specifically tested “Animal Crossing” for Nintendo and found, quote, “If you play four hours a day of ‘Animal Crossing’, you’re a much happier human being.”
Story 2: Waffle House Is Releasing Its First Beer
Even though Waffle House doesn’t serve alcohol, they serve more drunk people than most places that DO. So I give them the benefit of the doubt when it comes to something like this . . .
Waffle House is about to release its first-ever BEER.
They teamed up with Oconee Brewing Company in Georgia to make a red ale called Bacon & Kegs. It’s, quote, “bacon infused” and apparently it smells just like bacon when you crack it open.
If you’re interested, it’ll only be available from the brewery . . . not in Waffle House’s stores, unfortunately. It goes on sale on December 18th.

Story 3: A Hit-and-Run Victim Turns Out to Be a Career Criminal with a Stolen Phone in His Butt
32-year-old Tommy Puhlhoffer was the victim of a hit-and-run in London recently, and had to be taken to a hospital for X-rays. And the radiologist was shocked to find a PHONE . . . stuck up his NO-GO HOLE.
How did it get there? Well, it turned out he’s a career criminal. The phone was probably stolen, and cops think he was trying to hide it up there.
Tommy has a long rap sheet, and spent several years in jail for a string of robberies a decade ago.
This time, he assaulted several people at the hospital, and also spouted a bunch of racist nonsense.
Even though he was the victim of the hit-and-run, it sounds like he caused the crash. He admitted to theft . . . dangerous driving . . . driving without insurance . . . three counts of harassment . . . and seven counts of assault.
A judge just sentenced him to three years in prison.
Unfortunately, cops weren’t able to find the owner of the phone . . . not that they wanted it back anyway.
