Millie Bobby Brown’s Meltdown
Millie Bobby Brown has taken over the internet—but not for the reason you would assume. While doing her press tour for season 4 of Stranger Things, she stopped by Hot Ones for an interview. Hot Ones is a series on YouTube where host Sean Evans chats with celebrities while they eat hot wings that progressively get hotter. Plenty of memes and clips have gone viral from the show as it is pretty hilarious to watch some of your favorite stars try and talk about themselves while spicy hot sauce hits their brain. However, Millie Bobby Brown may have one of the best reactions we’ve seen yet. We weren’t quite sure she would survive. The meltdown boils down to two minutes that people cannot get over. Watch the entire thing unfold below and skip ahead to 14:18 to see where things really get spicy!

Matthew McConaughey Speaks Out About Gun Laws
People have been begging government leaders to change gun laws for too long now. It seems like Matthew McConaughey is taking further action after the shooting in his hometown of Uvalde, Texas. McConaughey, who is known for being a proud Texan, spoke from the podium during a White House briefing on Tuesday. For those who love their guns and want to resist change, McConaughey himself owns guns. Having those Texas roots, he learned to hunt early on in life. However, he is pushing for stricter background checks, age requirements to be bumped up to 21, waiting periods for sales, and red flag laws. He discussed all of this as well as advocating for more to be done to support people’s mental health.
