Always buy an extra small fry to eat in the car so you don't dip into your large fry.

Pro tip for everyone out there... if you go to McDonald's, if you go to a drive-thru, the key is to get a large fry and then get a medium or small fry for just the car. Because you don't want to dip into your large fry when you get home.

This is a personal lifestyle strategy.

It is bad luck to say 'good luck' to an actor before a performance.

One thing I will say, because you'll see actors kind of wince if you say it, you're not supposed to say good luck before a performance. That is bad luck to say good luck when you're talking to an actor.

This is a well-documented tradition/superstition in the acting community (hence 'Break a leg').

The Ravens' run offense is only successful because of Lamar Jackson's threat

The holes are ginormous. Like, and that's the thing that's unbelievable about a running quarterback is you don't have to block certain people because his fake will block a lot of people. You don't have to block the DN [defensive end] to the left because a DN to the left has to, he has to acknowledge Lamar.
