He also said he worked out at least four times a week and had started counting macros.

Jessica Chastain cried on command and showed off her sinister "Other Mommy" smile on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," earning praise from the internet Thursday.
The Academy Award-winning actress taught the late-night host and his audience how she crafted the creepy smile for her upcoming horror film. She shared that the trick was to hold tension in her body while plastering on a fake smile.
Chastain shook slightly as she locked into the expression, dropping a single tear as she stared down the camera lens.
"You just spurted out that tear with no problem like that?" the late night host asked.
"I'm a trained actress, Jimmy," she replied.

Celebrity comedian Sebastian Maniscalco has responded to this week's uproar in the comedy community over his takeover of a SiriusXM channel that for years supported up-and-coming stand-ups while providing them a minor lifeline in royalty checks. He joins the broadcaster in ****** uring those up in arms over the station's disappearance that the company axed it well before the superstar took over.
In April, Maniscalco's Comedy Radio replaced SiriusXM's Channel 99, the longtime home of the Raw Comedy/Raw Dog channel, a small corner of the satellite radio giant where up-and-coming comedians could not only launch their careers but make a few bucks doing it. SiriusXM replaced the "jukebox channel," which rotated sets from comics and had no host, with one now "curated and headlined by Maniscalco" that features mostly mainstream and well-known talent. The uproar came this week when the advocacy group Stand Up for Standup and big-name comedians like Patton Oswalt, Margaret Cho and Michelle Wolf took to social media to ask Maniscalco to bring Raw Comedy back to the platform. On Thursday, the superstar comic replied.

Hayden Panettiere's 11-year-old daughter Kaya appeared by video at a court hearing in Los Angeles Thursday, Oct. 8, as her father, Wladimir Klitschko, won permission to enlist police in recovering missing property. This allegedly includes jewelry "misappropriated" from the late Nashville star's estate.
Kaya spoke first at the hearing, politely greeting the judge from a seat in front of a set of curtains. "Was that you, Kaya?" the judge asked. "Yes, that was me," she replied. Her dad said he was with her using the same account, so he only had an audio connection. They then turned off Kaya's camera as Klitschko's lawyer explained what they were requesting.

Prince William has been branded a "beautiful human" after his interaction with a four-week-old baby, which took place on Tuesday during an engagement in Ilminster. The royal, who is a dad of three, was also on hand to offer up light-hearted advice for the new mum.
In the video above, William can be seen meeting the tiny newborn, and he asked: "How old?" When the mum replied, "Four weeks," he exclaimed, "Four weeks!" He then proceeded to ask if it was her "first one" and when he discovered it was her second, he waved his hand in the air and said: "Dab hand," in a reassuring tone.
Prince William is a doting dad to three children (@ Getty Images)
The talk then turned to sleep, as it does with most parents, and when discovering the little one isn't the best sleeper, he jokingly instructed the woman: "Don't move," as the baby was sound asleep on her during the whole interaction.
When the clip circulated online, fans praised William for stopping to speak to the parent. One wrote: "William is a beautiful human being who is so much like his Mum was," and another added: "This is why people love William. So natural and caring, asking about the baby sleeping! Future king with such a kind heart."

If Harper Beckham has no fans, it's because her elder brother, Cruz Beckham, has perished.
The budding musician had a fabulous reaction to his younger sister and budding beauty mogul, who was the topic of a conversation between British presenter Holly Willoughby and The Traitor's star, Joanne McNally.
The Irish comedian was asked by the former This Morning host which celebrity she would like to be, to which Joanne replied: "Harper Beckham," adding that she knew it "should be someone like Tina Fey."
Joanne went on to cite all the things she felt would be brilliant about being the 15-year-old, having the influence of Victoria Beckham, her upcoming beauty brand, as well as holidaying on a yacht, all being things on Joanne's list.
And the proof was in the pudding, as Cruz left a gushing comment on a clip of the moment on TikTok. "Me too, Harper is the most amazing human ever," which gained 1,239 likes.

McKenna Woods (ken_hairstylist), a hairstylist from Iowa, told TikTok about her allegedly disruptive client. Throughout his hair appointment, Woods said he had been making inappropriate comments and then using his supposed autism as an excuse.
Woods responded to a viral clip of her client, Chris, which accused her of being rude and mean. He also told others not to seek her services. Woods replied on TikTok, "I think this guy came in here thinking he's high and mighty because he's this upcoming rapper, a content creator."
Woods claimed she made small talk with her client, asking him how many followers he had on social media. She clarified that her issue wasn't his follower count but his alleged behavior in the salon. The hairstylist continued, "My problem is the way he acted in here, while my coworker had a client in here who is nine years old."
In a clip stitched to her TikTok, the nine-year-old can be overheard addressing Woods' client, saying, "Do you realize she has a boyfriend?" The client replied, "I'm not doing that. I'm just being autistic."
"And he's rapping. He's being very disruptive, being very disrespectful, making these comments about how he's autistic," Woods added. She alleged he was using his supposed condition to justify his behavior. In addition to comments about his mental health, Woods said he also made an inappropriate remark to her.

A TikTok posted by marktilbury on July 29, 2026, shows him questioning tipping at several stops, including a hotel. The video drew about 4.2 million views and about 315,200 likes at the time of publication.
An unseen narrator records the creator at each stop. At a fast-food restaurant, the narrator can be heard asking, "Wait, aren't you gonna leave a tip?" "What for? I've served myself," the TikToker answered. He then says the payment kiosk prompted him to tip 15 percent.
He then stops at a coffee shop, where the narrator asks him again, "Okay, well, surely you tip for that coffee." Mark replies, "She didn't even crack a smile and still expects a 30% tip?" He then adds, "Absolutely not." The narrator replied, "Right."
Outside a hotel, the narrator told him, "Well, you have to tip for this valet." The creator asked, "Why? I've already paid $100 to park the car."
The narrator then pointed out that Tilbury is a millionaire. "Yeah, but you are a millionaire and this is American culture," the voice said.

Toward the end of the lightning round on September 17, a caller asked for Mad Money's host Jim Cramer's thoughts on Iron Mountain Incorporated (NYSE:IRM), and he replied:
It's been an incredible stock. It's a real estate investment trust, basically. And you know, we know that they shred, 3% yield, down 20 points from its high. I think it's a buy.
Iron Mountain Incorporated (NYSE:IRM) operates a highly durable business model centered on physical records management, secure document destruction, and expanding digital infrastructure. In Q2, total revenue reached $2.03 billion, representing an 18.7% increase year-over-year and 16.8% organic growth. The core physical storage business provides reliable cash flow, with storage rental revenue expanding 11.5% year-over-year excluding foreign-exchange effects across a global customer base of 240,000. Adjusted funds from operations grew 17% to $432.7 million, or $1.44 per share.
At the same time, management has channeled capital into scaling higher-growth segments, including digital solutions, ***** et lifecycle management, and data center operations. The data center segment posted 39% revenue growth during the second quarter, securing 110 megawatts in new leases through July and increasing power capacity across major enterprise markets. Operating as a real estate investment trust, the company maintains a quarterly dividend of $0.864 per share, offering shareholders a forward yield of over 3%.
On the other hand, Iron Mountain Incorporated (NYSE:IRM) faces risks inherent to capital-intensive real estate infrastructure expansion. Rapid buildouts of data center power capacity demand substantial capital expenditure, leading to elevated leverage across the balance sheet. Long-term debt, net of the current portion, reached approximately $17.1 billion at the end of the second quarter, increasing sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations and refinancing costs.

During the September 11 episode of Mad Money, a caller asked whether to buy, sell, or hold shares of The Kraft Heinz Company (NYSE:KHC). Jim Cramer replied:
No, I don't want you to do that… And I'll tell you why. Because it's not that I believe in the greater man theory, but this Steve Cahillane, who's the CEO, he saved Kellogg and made people a ton of money. He's going to do the same thing with Kraft Heinz. Let's give him a chance. Let's give him six months, okay? I think he'd appreciate that if we give him six months. He's been here for a while, and he's a… person [who] really likes to... [take] action. Don't leave it. Please don't leave Kraft Heinz.
The comments build on his June 2 view that he was willing to "take on the risk" of owning Kraft Heinz because of Cahillane's record at Kellogg. At the time, however, Cramer said he had "not all that much faith in Kraft or Heinz after previous management gutted the company."
The Kraft Heinz Company's (NYSE:KHC) second-quarter results show why the turnaround remains unfinished. Net sales fell 1.4% year over year to $6.26 billion, while organic net sales declined 1.3%. Adjusted operating income fell 18.4% to $1 billion, while North American sales declined 2.7%. Management raised its 2026 organic net-sales outlook to a decline of 0.5% to 2%, from the previous range of a 1.5% to 3.5% decline. It also increased incremental investment by $100 million to approximately $700 million in 2026, with the company targeting a return to volume-led, sustainable and profitable growth.
On September 2, Kraft Heinz said it will hold an Investor Day on November 12 to present its long-term strategy for "sustainable volume-led and profitable growth." Cahillane said, "Our brand investments are gaining traction and driving improved performance."

On September 11, a caller praised The Boeing Company's (NYSE:BA) CEO and asked when the company would overcome the ongoing labor uncertainty and finally move beyond years of sideways stock performance. Mad Money host Jim Cramer replied:
I think that Boeing is ready to go up. But here's the problem. Every time crude goes up a dollar, the stock goes down a dollar. And that, think about it, that was actually the ratio. I did some work on this. And because today crude was down, Boeing went up $5... No, it's so stupid because, in truth, the airlines need more planes because the planes are more fuel-efficient. So they actually do better in this environment, but ******* ody cares. They know that airlines have to borrow money to buy planes and rates are higher, and they think that oil somehow's bad. But what ends up happening is the stock does nothing. I think it's about to go up because I think oil might be peaking unless there's some catastrophe over there.
The Boeing Company's (NYSE:BA) second-quarter results showed improving cash generation, but profitability remained weak. Revenue rose 8% year over year to $24.6 billion, while operating cash flow reached $1.4 billion and free cash flow was $631 million. Its total backlog reached a record $715 billion, including more than 6,200 commercial airplanes. CEO Kelly Ortberg said, "We're ramping up production just as we planned. That's driving higher revenues and improved cash flow." He also said there's more work ahead to ramp production, complete commercial-aircraft certifications and uphold customer commitments. Boeing said the 737-7 and 737-10 had completed flight testing, with deliveries expected to begin in 2027.
The Boeing Company's (NYSE:BA) large backlog has yet to translate into consistent commercial-aircraft profitability, leaving execution and margins as important concerns for investors. Commercial Airplanes delivered 171 aircraft in the second quarter but still posted a $322 million operating loss and a negative 2.7% operating margin. It also reported a $428 million GAAP net loss.
The balance sheet leaves less room for further setbacks. The company ended June with $45.9 billion of consolidated debt against $20 billion of cash and investments in marketable securities. The FAA certified the 737-7 on August 3, while Boeing continues working toward certification of the 737-10. First deliveries of the variants are expected in 2027. The company also recorded $280 million of losses on the VC-25B program in the quarter.

Inquiring about Walmart Inc. (NASDAQ:WMT) on September 10, a caller asked if they should "keep it." Mad Money host Jim Cramer replied:
I got to tell you, this one is a short and long-term, okay? Short-term, I think I know what Walmart's doing. I think that they're letting their customers have a big break. They're not passing along all of these costs. That is going to earn them tremendous love when things get better. So the wise situation is to say this: Walmart trades at 36 times earnings. It deserves to trade lower just because of what's happening at the company now and higher what's happening at the company when this inflation bout ends. So you buy some at $106, $105, and then buy some at $95. And yes, it could trade to $95. It does not have yield support. This is not like Target, which had that yield support. Target's doing better than Walmart right now. It is.
Walmart Inc.'s (NASDAQ:WMT) second-quarter fiscal 2027 revenue rose 5.9% year over year to $187.9 billion, while global e-commerce sales increased 23%. Global advertising revenue rose 38%, and membership-fee revenue increased 17% globally. Walmart U.S. comparable sales, excluding fuel, grew 2.6%. The company is also using tariff refunds to support lower prices. It said tariff refunds increased its gross profit rate during the quarter, while price investments partially offset the benefit.
Target Corporation (NYSE:TGT) has stronger recent comparable-sales momentum. Its second-quarter sales rose 5.3%, comparable sales increased 3.8%, and traffic rose 3.6%. The company also raised its full-year sales-growth outlook to approximately 5%. Its second-quarter GAAP and adjusted EPS were $4.11, including a $1.65 benefit from tariff refunds. Excluding tariff refunds, GAAP and adjusted EPS increased 20% year over year. CEO Michael Fiddelke said Target had reduced prices on more than 10,000 frequently purchased items over the past year and acknowledged that "there's still meaningful work ahead."
Walmart Inc.'s (NASDAQ:WMT) biggest risk is valuation. Its premium forward PE of 36.76 leaves the stock more exposed if U.S. comparable-sales growth remains modest while the company continues investing in prices. Walmart's 2.6% U.S. comparable-sales growth also trails Target's 3.8%.

During the September 10 episode of Mad Money, a caller inquired about Mad Money host Jim Cramer's confidence that Arista Networks, Inc. (NYSE:ANET) will not go down the same path as Ciena Corporation. He replied:
Okay, so let me just tell you, Arista is up a lot this year. My confidence is with Jayshree Ullall. I think she's amazing and I think it every time the stock has dipped, if you've noticed it. Since her tenure began, you have to buy it, and I'm not backing away from that. I feel the same way I do now, the way I did, oh man, how many years ago when we first met her. She is money, and the company's fantastic.
In its second quarter, the company shattered records by delivering its first-ever $3 billion quarter, reporting $3.036 billion in revenue, a 38% year-over-year and over 12% sequential increase. Management lifted its full-year 2026 revenue guidance to approximately $12.6 billion, representing roughly 40% annual top-line growth. The acceleration is supported by deep integration into cloud architectures, where Arista Networks, Inc. (NYSE:ANET) expects its dedicated AI fabrics revenue to reach at least $3.5 billion in 2026, supported by more than 100 **** ulative Etherlink customers.
Bottom-line performance remains equally strong, with non-GAAP diluted earnings per share reaching $1.02, driven by a 49.9% non-GAAP operating margin and $1.3 billion in non-GAAP quarterly net income. Arista Networks, Inc. (NYSE:ANET) ended the quarter with roughly $13.3 billion in cash and marketable securities, offering substantial liquidity. However, its $9.7 billion of non-cancellable purchase commitments also increase working-capital and inventory risk as the company secures components ahead of expected AI demand.
The company's financial results remain heavily tied to two hyperscale customers. According to its 10-K filings, Microsoft accounted for 26%, and Meta Platforms generated 16% of total revenue in fiscal 2025, bringing combined spending from these two cloud giants to 42%. It leaves Arista Networks, Inc. (NYSE:ANET) vulnerable to sudden capital expenditure adjustments, vendor diversification shifts, or project delays by its core buyers.

During the September 10 episode of Mad Money, a caller questioned whether recent vertical integration by industrial competitors and market selloffs warranted a lower valuation for Howmet Aerospace Inc.'s (NYSE:HWM) economic moat, or if demand remained strong enough to make the pullback an overreaction. Jim Cramer replied:
Now, look, I'll tell you, here's the problem… It's a fastener company, and it frankly is, most times, very commodity-oriented business, and it happens to sell at 44 times earnings, and we don't want to pay that for commodities even though the business is strong. I think people are saying, "Wait a second, that's too much to pay, and I'm going to wait till it goes lower." And if you look at the chart, it does seem like it is going lower.
Howmet Aerospace Inc. (NYSE:HWM) occupies a sole-source or primary-supplier position across critical narrowbody and widebody aircraft programs, providing single-crystal turbine blades, advanced structural castings, and **** anium fasteners. Approval and qualification requirements, manufacturing complexity, and a limited supplier base can make alternative sources difficult to establish quickly. That gives the company strong pricing power on both new plane parts and higher-margin replacement spares.
The structural advantages of Howmet Aerospace Inc.'s (NYSE:HWM) business model can be seen in its Q2 financial results. Revenue surged over 24% year-over-year (21% organically) to $2.55 billion, driven by a 28% jump in commercial aerospace revenue, a 38% expansion in industrial gas turbines, and an 11% gain in defense aerospace. The core Engine Products division recorded third-party sales of $1.37 billion, up 32% year-over-year, while segment adjusted EBITDA margins expanded by 470 basis points to 37.7%.
Despite its market positioning, Howmet Aerospace Inc. (NYSE:HWM) carries valuation risks that advise a cautious approach. Trading at elevated EV/EBITDA and forward P/E multiples relative to traditional industrial peers, the stock leaves little margin for operational missteps. Capital expenditures are projected to exceed $500 million in 2026 as the company builds out production capacity for next-generation engine components and gas turbines, reducing near-term free cash conversion flexibility.

Ashley St. Clair, former girlfriend of billionaire Elon Musk and mother to one of his children, told Don Lemon she personally witnessed the billionaire using ketamine recreationally and taking psychedelic mushrooms as she opened up about his alleged drug use.
St. Clair, who shares son Romulus with the Tesla and ***** eX chief, made the claims during an interview with Lemon after the podcast host recalled questioning Musk about his acknowledged use of prescription ketamine.
Musk has previously said he was prescribed ketamine for depression, but St. Clair claimed the drug use she witnessed went beyond therapeutic treatment.
"I have family members who have had great success from ketamine or ayahuasca treatments with professionals. The way I saw him –" she said. "Yeah. There's there but that's not the way he was using it. At least from my observation."
Pressed on what she meant, St. Clair replied: "I saw him use it recreationally."

Rookies from across the NFL made their debuts in Week 1 of the regular season. One Houston Texans legend, made his debut in a very different lead role.
J.J. Watt, who finished No. 1 in Chron's Top 25 Texans Ranking and current CBS Sports ******* yst, took the No. 1 color commentator role alongside CBS play-by-play announcer Jim Nantz for Sunday's tilt between the Minnesota Vikings and the Green Bay Packers. Watt replaced Tony Romo, of Dallas Cowboys fame, in the top spot after the former quarterback went on indefinite leave following his arrest on suspicion of operating a vehicle while intoxicated in Wisconsin earlier this summer.
Nantz warmly welcomed Watt to the broadcast during the CBS pregame show "NFL Today," and studio host James Brown was collegial in acknowledging the new duo.
"Jim Nantz and J.J. Watt … that rolls right off your tongue," Brown said. "What do you have?"
Nantz, a legendary University of Houston alum, replied with his classic, "Hello, friend," and began pontificating about the Texans-Bills matchup before turning to his left towards Watt and stating he was excited about "being with this guy."

Helen Mirren would rather turn to artificial intelligence than visit the doctor.
The 81-year-old actress revealed she "totally" avoids doctors while speaking to Entertainment Weekly at the Toronto International Film Festival, where she was promoting her new thriller, A Talent for Murder.
Mirren was joined by costars Alden Ehrenreich and Olivia Cooke, who described themselves as hypochondriacs while discussing how they bonded on set.
Mirren, however, joked that she was the "opposite of hypochondria," adding, "I just completely ignore everything."
When Ehrenreich, 36, asked if that meant she avoided doctors, Mirren replied: "Totally deny. I avoid doctors. Oh no, totally. And it's working."

Leave it to Elon Musk to say, essentially, I've been right all along.
The **** eX (SPCX) and Tesla (TSLA) CEO agreed with Anthropic (ANTH.PVT) CEO Dario Amodei on his essay arguing for pacing AI advances.
The crux of Amodei's argument is that AI using recursive self-improvement "could outrun our ability to understand and control these systems, and so must be pursued very carefully, if at all."
In order to prevent future harms, Amodei said frontier AI companies should commit to embedding third-party evaluators in their organizations that can **** s their AI models and confirm the labs' "adherence to safety practices and commitments, report incidents, and help **** s the alignment of not just completed AI models but training pipelines and processes."
Musk replied on X.com, "Dario is right," but also added later that he's been "sounding the alarm" over AI for some time now, linking back to a post he made back in 2023, when he wrote, "AGI is significantly higher risk than nuclear weapons, in my opinion. Super smart humans have trouble imagining something vastly smarter than themselves."

On September 8, a caller inquired if Trinity Industries, Inc. (NYSE:TRN) is worth looking at after its recent pullback. Mad Money host Jim Cramer replied:
Yes, Railcar, shouldn't be down this much. I like your thinking. You waited for the big hit. Now, it's in a good place. I would pull the trigger.
Trinity Industries, Inc. (NYSE:TRN) has faced a sharp correction, pulling back significantly from its 52-week high of $38.31. Despite this downward pressure, the company's fundamental **** et base remains exceptionally stable. In its second-quarter earnings report, the company posted total revenues of $485 million and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $1.25, with earnings benefiting from a $132 million non-cash pre-tax gain tied to the Napier Park railcar partnership transaction.
The leasing and services segment continues to support the business, posting a robust fleet utilization rate of 97.3% and an improved lease renewal success rate of 75%. In addition, the Future Lease Rate Differential improved to +3.5%, showing healthy pricing power on expiring contracts. Management reaffirmed its full-year EPS guidance of $2.20 to $2.40, supported by a solid railcar backlog standing at $1.6 billion.
The primary catalyst for Trinity Industries, Inc.'s (NYSE:TRN) recent sell-off stems from margin compression within the Rail Products manufacturing division. Operating margins in manufacturing faced pressure from an unplanned production interruption at the Longview manufacturing facility and temporary realignment expenses tied to the company's Mexican footprint. These localized execution issues overshadowed a strong quarterly performance in leasing, causing the stock to drift below both its 50-day and 200-day moving average.

Washington quarterback Jayden Daniels had a very successful 2024 season that ended in disappointment in Philadelphia.
The Commanders had won two road playoff games, and winning the third consecutive road playoff game was out of the question that day in the NFC Championship Game as the Eagles routed the Commanders 55-23. So one reporter asked Commanders head coach Dan Quinn on Friday about Daniels' hunger to win and what Quinn has observed.
Injured in 2025, Daniels was not able to take the field against the Eagles in either game in 2025. So this is Daniels' first return facing the Eagles since that 2024 NFC ******* le game. "I think it honestly started like towards the end of the season last year," replied Quinn. "That is where it began. But from that point, (there are) new systems and changes which are hard to go through. He's consistently working at it and going after it; it demonstrates readiness. He was more accurate than he's ever been."
Yes, both Quinn and offensive coordinator David Blough have referenced this offseason how Daniels has worked hard to learn and master the new offense. Both have also referred to Daniels' accuracy throughout training camp.
"So, those are the things that I saw. He's always just a confident player, and he's clutch. So, like those things, I wouldn't say they come natural to him, but they are at the forefront. But all the unseen work that went into it- he's gotten stronger, he's gotten bigger." It's no secret the Commanders are concerned with Daniels being injured so often in 2025. They are encouraged that he worked this offseason to get stronger.

Bayern Munich defended forward Michael Olise after he caused a stir this week due to a post-match interview, in which he only replied with extremely monosyllabic answers.
"Michael Olise is someone who wants to play football, and off the pitch is not his forte. It's a big thing in the media, but on other channels he's being celebrated just as much for his conduct. What's most important to us is that he shows his ability on the pitch," Bayern board member for sport Max Eberl said in a news conference on Saturday.
"And the kids and teenagers can identify with it a bit more than perhaps we can," he added.
Following the 5-0 win over Bodø/Glimt in the Champions League on Thursday, Olise was named "Player of the Match" and appeared in an interview with broadcaster DAZN.
"I don't know," Olise said when asked how it felt to score a stunning goal. The reporter then asked how moments like that happen and the France international replied: "I shoot. Then it goes in, or it doesn't."

The New York Giants are turning over a new leaf with John Harbaugh as head coach against the Dallas Cowboys at home on Sunday night. The Giants' opener will include the return of former fan favorite Odell Beckham Jr. at wide receiver, who announced he will dedicate his return to MetLife Stadium to the fans.
Beckham Jr. spoke to reporters, including Charlotte Carole of The Athletic, on Friday, during which he was asked why he changed his hair back to blonde ahead of the 2026-27 season. The decision came amid requests from younger Giants players, who called it a "core memory" from earlier days in the NFL.
"I don't know. It just was somethin' I was feelin', he replied. "Um, I kinda got a request from a couple of the young guys. It was, we need to see the blonde, I said, 'I need that.'

With four points from three games, FC Schalke have made more than just a respectable start to this Bundesliga season.
A large part of that is down to goalkeeper Loris Karius, who delivered a superb performance both in the sensational 0-0 draw against Bayern Munich and in the 3-1 away win over Union Berlin. Schalke fans in particular are therefore calling for him to be nominated for the German national team on social media.
Karius was asked about that in a Sky interview after the Union match. The TV reporter wanted to know whether there had already been any contact with Germany coach Jürgen Klopp and how realistic he considered a call-up to the national team.
"No, there has been no contact," Karius replied. "I see it as neither realistic nor unrealistic. I'm not thinking about it."
Even so, the 33-year-old, who has repeatedly faced heavy criticism over the course of his career, admitted: "If people ***** ociate me with that, it's a huge compliment to my performance."

On September 3, a caller asked if UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (NYSE:UNH) has enough profitable growth that they should consider adding it to their portfolio. Mad Money host Jim Cramer replied:
Yes, the answer: it does, it does. You know, I've got to tell you, I thought that last quarter was very, very good. The stock market did not like the quarter as much as I thought it would, but the stock's making a stand here. I think that UNH is good to buy.
Cramer's bullish stance rests on the core strength of the company's financial delivery and improving execution. In its second-quarter 2026 report, UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (NYSE:UNH) posted consolidated revenues of $112 billion and operating earnings of $8 billion. Adjusted diluted earnings per share reached $6.38, outpacing Wall Street expectations by $1.48. Driven by strong performance across both the UnitedHealthcare and Optum divisions, management raised its full-year 2026 adjusted EPS guidance to a range of $19.50 to $20. Furthermore, the medical care ratio improved to 86.7% down from 89.4% a year prior, showing that medical cost trends and pricing are aligning effectively.
On the other hand, Wall Street remains cautious about lingering cost pressures across the managed care landscape. Even though the medical care ratio improved compared to last year, patients continuing to utilize medical services at a high rate keeps expenses heavy. At the same time, commercial insurance margins are taking longer to bounce back. Adding in tighter payment adjustments for government-backed plans along with heavy spending on tech infrastructure, cautious investors could have reasons to wait rather than chasing the stock higher.

After examining the biggest causes for concern in the 2026 season, let's spin positive and discuss the reasons to be optimistic about the Green Bay Packers this year as they look to mount a Super Bowl bid.
Here are the five most important factors that should give fans confidence entering the new season:
Matt LaFleur said it best when asked for the umpteenth time this year what Love can do to take 'the next step' in 2026.
He replied with more than a hint of frustration: "I get so confused by that question every time because I think he's an elite player, so I don't know. I'll let you guys figure out what the next step is."
Green Bay's head coach said he knew Love was in that top tier of quarterbacks in the second half of 2023, which is certainly when it all seemed to click for him. After an injury-riddled 2024, Love set the benchmark for which his future seasons will be measured by in 2025.

Like mother, like son! Vanna White's son, Nikko Santo Pietro, wore her Wheel of Fortune dress after a dare on his social media.
"I am a man of my word. Directed by jackieecarterr. Filmed by haleeyybee," Pietro captioned his Instagram post on September 10.
On August 28, he put up a post telling his followers that whatever the top comment was on that post was what he was going to wear for his next showing. Pietro is a real estate agent.
His sister, Gigi, commented with "Borat Speedo." Nikko replied, "Over the shoulder?" to which Gigi said, "Of course." However, her comment did not win.
The comment that received the most likes, with 47 at the time of publication, read, "One of your mother's dresses from the show."

Erika Kirk needs to take time away from her role as CEO of Turning Point USA to "work on healing," according to her "dear friend" Megyn Kelly.
Charlie Kirk, 31, was **** assinated while speaking at the first stop of his American Comeback Tour one year ago on September 10, 2025. After his death, his widow became CEO and board chair at the conservative organization.
Appearing on the Thursday, September 10, episode of Piers Morgan Uncensored, Kelly, 55, was asked by the host why she believes Erika, 37, has become a lightning rod for criticism over the past year.
"I come to this with a bias because I love Erika," Kelly replied. "I consider her a dear friend and I hate to see her suffer. It's been very painful to watch her suffer this year."
"The overwhelming suffering has been caused by Charlie's murder and not by the internet nonsense, but that's been an added burden on her. There's no question, I don't like it," the former Today show host continued. "I wish it weren't happening. I wish people would move on and just see the evidence that's there. But I think part of the reason this is happening is because Erika stayed in the public eye as the CEO of Turning Point, therefore, in some ways, criticism of her is fair game."

The next major decision facing the Carolina Panthers' front office will be what to do with their starting quarterback Bryce Young.
Going into his fourth season in the NFL, it's not an easy call. Young has shown flashes of elite ability, but he's still producing at a well below-average level too often.
There are three paths ahead for the organization.
If Young makes his big breakthrough this season, they could give him the lucrative long-term extension that would cement him in as their franchise guy. If he bombs, then they could start looking for another starter, beginning with the loaded draft class of 2027. The Panthers could also decide to wait—if Young's performance falls somewhere in the middle, they still have him under contract for another season thanks to his fifth-year option.
As for Young, he continues to say all the right things. When asked about his contract situation going into Week 1, Young replied that it's out of his hands and he's all about football.
