This #MovieStarMonday we visit with actress/comedian Lauren Lapkus (The Wrong Missy, Netflix's The Characters, and Orange Is The New Black)
Her new show Haunting shares weekly, real-life paranormal stories told by those who experienced them first-hand. Some will be unsettling... Some unnerving. And some are even downright terrifying! Haunting brings audiences into the story through first-hand accounts and immersive audio, giving listeners the feeling of coming face-to-face with the unexplainable. Lauren plays the host, Theresa (Teh-rez-ah), an "influencer" who tragically died before she could get the proverbial "little blue check in life." Theresa is stuck in the Eternal Twilight until she figures out how to finish her "unfinished business." Just like when she was alive and active on every social media platform, Theresa promises to always give her audience the -- mostly -- unfiltered look into her life, now afterlife. But instead of snarky social commentary, OOTDs, and hyper-edited selfies, with the help of her producer, Len, and succubus from Hell turned intern, Naomi, Theresa aims to help the living see that ghosts are just former people who want to have a little fun like anyone else, even though it's often in the form of mortal fear and suffering.

Do you have a friend who always seems to be complaining about something? It turns out, venting about what bothers you might be a good idea. UCLA research suggests that venting isn’t just a way to blow off steam—it’s a clever social tool that can make you look better in the eyes of the listener. By sharing frustrations, we might be subconsciously strengthening our bonds and even getting extra perks or favors.

Kentucky
has more bourbon than people. If bourbon is your drink of choice,
then you might want to plan a road trip to Kentucky. The state is not
only responsible for 95 percent of the world's bourbon, according to
The Atlantic, but there is also so much of it that the 4.7 million
barrels in the state's distilleries outnumber the 4.3 million people
living in the area.

STATE FAIR FUN:
It’s State Fair season in the USA! And while they may have originated as a way to buy and sell agricultural products, they’ve since grown to encompass some of the oddest, quirkiest, and most wholesome competitions. Here are a few you’re unlikely to find anywhere else…
★ The mullet competition: Several state fairs feature this hair-raising event, including in Indiana and Illinois. According to the official USA Mullet Championship, judges consider 4 criteria: length, style, uniqueness…and showmanship?
★ The husband calling competition: In this one, well, the title says it all. Some repeatedly yell their husband’s name, while others adopt a more artistic yodel.
★ The grocery bagging competition: This is a fav at the South Dakota State Fair. To be eligible, contestants must hold a job where they spend at least 40% of their time bagging groceries. Points are awarded based on speed, technique, weight distribution between bags, style, attitude, and appearance.
★ Pet Rock Olympics: This Colorado State Fair event is broken into 2 categories: best dressed and farthest roller. And for one family, the competition is a tradition that spans 3 generations. (3 VERY BORING generations…)
★ The skillet toss and anvil throw: The goal of this competition, at the Fryeburg Fair in Maine, is to throw the iron objects as far and straight as possible without going out of bounds. Women toss a cast iron skillet — men throw an anvil.
