Is Married Life Making You Fat?

I came across this hilarious TikTok of a man devouring a plate of fried, fatty food that a woman cooked for him.

If You’re Trying To Eat Healthier – Let Your Smart Speaker Help!

They were, of course, talking with their “smart speakers,” one of the latest and more popular technology accessories for the home.
