The FBI Is Investigating After Someone in a Jetpack Is Spotted Flying at 3,000 Feet
On Sunday night, two pilots who were flying into Los Angeles International Airport reported seeing a man in a JETPACK flying at 3,000 feet.
One pilot was from American Airlines, and one was from SkyWest . . . so these are legit pilots for big airlines who wouldn't be trying to pull a hoax. The FAA and FBI are both investigating.
Besides the potential legal issues of flying a jetpack at that altitude and in a restricted airspace, an aviation expert says the guy was taking a huge risk.
Quote, "The risk is obviously having a collision with an airplane . . . or the person getting ingested into an engine." (New York Post)

(23:55) Are These Gadgets Worth Buying or Way Overrated?
Stop buying Apple chargers and other name-brand cables. You can find generic cables that are almost as good now, and a lot cheaper.
Air fryers. They're not much better than a regular oven. And if you're hoping for the same taste as deep-fried, you'll be disappointed.
Keurig coffee makers. They say the best you get is diner coffee. And at worst, it's "hot brown water." Every other brewing method makes better coffee, but if you like the convenience, Nespresso machines are decent.
Avoid essential oil insect repellents . . . sticky bug traps . . . and bug zappers. Regular old bug spray is best. The zappers you hang outside do kill a lot of bugs, but the wrong kind. So they're bad for the environment.
For pets, avoid "smart" feeders . . . pet cameras . . . and automatic litter boxes. The feeders aren't that "smart." Security cameras are cheaper and better. And automatic litter boxes malfunction a lot, and end up being a bigger hassle than a normal litter box.
Here are a few more random things they say to avoid: Wi-Fi toothbrushes are overpriced and dumb . . . tower fans don't work well . . . most baby bottle warmers suck . . . and adding extra antivirus software to your computer is pointless. (NY Times)
(31:05) "Good News" Stories from the Coronavirus Outbreak
Live performances have been non-existent this year. So three dancers in Argentina started an online contest called the "Stay Home Dance Competition." Now people from all over the world are posting videos where they do an interpretive dance about the pandemic, and anyone can enter. It ends this Sunday.
Here's a kid who can roll with the punches. A 300-pound high school football player in Michigan found out his season was postponed. So he joined the cross-country team instead, and ran his first race last week. He finished second-to-last, but says it's all about staying competitive, and getting tougher "mentally and physically."
A new survey found 94% of Americans have been cooking as much or more than they did before the pandemic hit. We're eating more of those meals with loved ones too. And most people say it's made them feel closer as a family.
A guy in New Jersey was vice-president at an ad agency before he got laid off in June. And while he searches for a new job, he's been mowing senior citizens' lawns for free. He says he, quote, "just wanted to put some good out there."

A drunk driver in Texas pulled over for the cops, then handed them his drink and drove off. They caught up with him and arrested him.
A Guy Applies for a Job at a Pizza Shop with His Real Info . . . Then Robs the Place
A tourist in Thailand took an INSANE selfie where she grabbed a tiger's testicles.
(54:35) Faking ALS Makes You A Real POS
Arizona man, 49, 'faked having ALS to get a free motorized wheelchair, his truck fixed for "one last ride", and a $9k speech device' - while also facing charges for 'scamming people out of $30k by faking cancer diagnosis'
