Tom Willis is a motivational speaker who was born with no arms, and he nailed this first pitch at a Giants-Mariners game in San Fran.

Yeah, he uses his feet, and he's great at it!

It seem pants-poopingly scary to throw out the ceremonial first pitch at a baseball game. A lot of people act weirdly confident about it. Like, they in no way prepared to stand in the middle of an arena, in a brand-spanking new uniform, then throw a ball with accuracy and speed over a far distance. Just look at 50 Cent:

Haha. If you feel bad for him, remember he's a millionaire who has recovered from being shot in the face 9 times. He can take it.

Tom Willis was VERY prepared. He does most things with his feet, and he's been on a "pitch for awareness" tour. He wants people to see the abilities of people with disabilities. Well, ya did it, dude. We're officially impressed.

Kinda messed up that the San Francisco Giants put "threw" in quotations, though.

Dolezal appeared on 'The Today Show' to explain her identity.

If you haven't been following this Rachel Dolezal story, here's a summary: it's nuts. Dolezal, the former president of the Spokane chapter of the NAACP, was outed by her parents as a white woman who had pretended to be black for more than a decade. She initially refused to comment on the allegations, but stepped down from her position at the NAACP yesterday. This morning, she broke her silence in an interview with Matt Lauer on The Today Show.

How she came off in this interview is up to everyone's interpretation. Lauer wasn't cutting her any slack, and all his points seemed valid to me. On the other hand, it's hard not to feel at least a little bad for her, considering the way the media has piled on her in the last few days.

If I have one takeaway from the interview, it's the part where she said she couldn't be a mother to her adopted son if she was "seen as white." This doesn't just contradict comments she made in the same interview, it's also pretty offensive. Her arguments about "transracialism" fall pretty flat when she implies that a multiracial family can't exist without somebody living a lie.

My name is Nathan, and I'm bad at love.

So I'm turning to the 11th season of The Bachelorette for help. Week 5 is all about love and honesty. We are halfway through the journey. It's time to take big steps forward toward falling in love. Here is what I learned about those big steps from this week:

1. Don't keep your previous heartbreak to yourself.

Ben H. initially struggled to open up to Kaitlyn about his past relationships during their one-on-one date. Once he said he hadn't told anyone what happened in two years you knew this was going to be an epic tearjerker. Ben overcame his fears and finally shared the dramatic tale of his long-distance relationship that ended when his girlfriend simply wasn't into it anymore. Rose-worthy stuff! I have plenty of failed relationship stories just like this to share on my date this week, so I'm set!

2. Do sing about your sexual connection from the rooftop.

For the group date this week Kaitlyn had the guys give her their best full-on mariachi performance. We're told that this style is not about being goofy or funny but is a serious outlet for love. So it was no surprise then when Nick won the date rose when he took Kaitlyn to the balcony and sang to her a serious song of brawling, maybe loving her, and erections. If anyone has any suggestions for words that rhyme with boner please send them my way. Thank you in advance.

3. Do have a near-death experience.

No move has worked as well as Shawn's heart-wrenching chronicle of a car accident that would have resulted in his death had he not used a seat belt for the first time. The story alone almost makes Kaitlyn cry (which is a good thing!). It's a huge romantic advantage to be able to say that you were given a second chance at life. If you want true love you have to almost die first so everyone knows you are actually serious about living now. I narrowly escaped drowning in a river when I was two, so that might work. Important note: don't actually die.

4. Do tell her you are falling in love with her.

Shawn did it! Jared did it! Start of month two—it's time!!

5. Don't call yourself an enigma.

Ian realized he was on his way out, so he decided to be the dumper before he became the dumpee. But before his bitter confrontation with Kaitlyn, Ian announced his dating profile to the world. Here is what we learned about Ian (according to Ian): Princeton graduate, former model, defied death (!!!), been around the world a couple of times, has lots of sex, doesn't like poop jokes, an enigma, and a gift you unwrap your whole life. What a catch! I can't believe Kaitlyn didn't propose to HIM already!

Money can't buy happiness, but you will need a lot of it to visit "The Happiest Place on Earth."

Do you have fond memories of visiting Disney World as a kid? Are you finding it harder to afford to go now that you're a repressed 30-something with a little bit of expendable income? Would you believe that when Disney World first opened in 1971, the price of admission was $3.50, roughly the cost of 3 gallons of milk at the time? Every year since, the cost of admission has gone uppity-up-up.

The Washington Post reporter Drew Harwell outlined how Disney went from a middle-class household name to a behemoth luxury brand. To better illustrate how expensive Disney World tickets have become, the graph below plots the actual rising cost of admission since opening day against what that ticket would cost in last-year-dollars.

(via The Washington Post)

Around 1980, the price spiked due to the recession and runaway inflation. Within the last decade, the barrier of monetary entry has risen steadily and handsomely. Every year for the past ten years, Disney admission revenue has increased by 10 percent. In 2015, ticket sales raked in $5 million, not including food and merchandise, which is another $5 million. Not bad for a cartoon mouse who isn't in cartoons anymore. It is bad for a regular family who just wants to have fun and maybe see Elsa or Mufasa or Harry Potter or Iron Man or Fred MacMurray or whoever else Disney owns by the time I publish this thing.

Attendance has always been high at Disney World and its subsidiary parks in the Orlando, Florida area. With higher demand, Disney's business strategy has been to target the richest of the rich, the one-percenters on vacation. Not only is the cost of admission pricing out the shrinking middle class, but Disney parks offer stratified park experiences catering to customers who don't care about cost. There are $115 steak meals, $200 princess makeovers, passes to skip to the front of the waiting line at rides, $3400-a-night tiki bungalow suites, and a world of other luxuries for the luxuriant (and—let's face it—tacky) holiday maker.

So, you might be asking "What's the big deal, crybaby? Are you poor or something?" Walt Disney opened Disney World as a place for "all families to be able to spend time together in a fun atmosphere and be able to afford it," according to Scott Smith, assistant professor of hospitality at the University of South Carolina and former Disney park employee. “But as a kid who started there with his first job at 16, steeped in the tradition? It does make me sad that something that was set up by Walt, who wanted all families to be able to spend time together in a fun atmosphere and be able to afford it, is going by the wayside."

Apparently, it is possible to have a non-apoplectic reaction to this story.

The media has really been having the time of its life these past few days tearing Rachel Dolezal to shreds over her unapologetic choice to identify as a black woman. One might think that Dave Chappelle—who made his career skewering the peculiarities of race relations—would go nuts on this story, but not so much.

While giving a commencement speech at the Duke Ellington School of the Arts in D.C. yesterday, he touched upon the story, but stopped short of calling out Dolezal by name or hard-core mocking her:

“The world's become ridiculous. There's a white lady posing as a black lady. There is not one thing that woman accomplished that she couldn't have done as a white woman. There's no reason! She just needed the braids! I don't know what she was doing."

After the show, he told a reporter for The Washington Post that he's "probably not going to do any jokes about her or any references to her for awhile" partially because they're way too common right now. But also because his feelings about her are complicated:

“The thing that the media's gotta be real careful about, that they're kind of overlooking, is the emotional context of what she means. There's something that's very nuanced where she's highlighting the difference between personal feeling and what's construct as far as racism is concerned. I don't know what her agenda is, but there's an emotional context for black people when they see her and white people when they see her. There's a lot of feelings that are going to come out behind what's happening with this lady. And she's just a person, no matter how we feel about her."

He also revealed that Dolezal would probably be a strong pick up by the black community if the racial draft he created for his old Comedy Central show were happening today.

If we can believe any videos on YouTube anymore, then Ed Sheeran surprised a fan who was singing his hit song "Thinking Out Loud" for an impromptu duet.

The fan, 13-year-old Sydney Bourbeau, seems pretty chill about the whole thing. It almost seems like she wishes she could keep singing by herself. But maybe she was just scared that a viral video was happening to her. Who knows how any of us will react when it inevitably happens to us?

Bourbeau told E!:

"I had just finished taking my microphone out of the stand, so I thought someone was just coming up to grab the stand or fix something. I realized it was him after he came up the stairs on the stage, and I freaked! He came over and hugged me and I wanted to just cry and talk to him, but I realized he wanted to come sing his song with me!"

She also said Sheeran is her "favorite male artist" and that after the performance, she looked for him but couldn't find him. Thankfully his manager later reached out and invited her to come to a concert and sit front row center.

These videos always make me wonder if artists ever forget the words to their own songs when they suddenly decide to do an on-the-spot performance. This is the kind of question that keeps me up at night. And that is the kind of video I would love to see.

"If I back away very, very slowly, she probably won't even notice I've gone."

Matzo the dog has managed to come up with a pretty decent coping method for those terrible moments when he just knows that a good yelling-at is on its way. It's easy: you just slowly, oh so slowly, scoot yourself backwards until your entire body has disappeared behind a piece of furniture or has slipped into another room. If they can't see you, then they can't yell at you! It's an absolutely flawless plan.

In fact, I'll probably be trying it later on today when my wife sees what I accidentally did to the bathroom wall with the power drill.

Your younger sibling is getting married before you, and everyone at the wedding knows it.

I can't believe the person whose diapers I used to change got married before me.

As if weddings weren't stressful enough for single people, adding the fact that your younger sibling is the one getting married pretty much breaks the dial on your brain's stress-ometer. Here is a rudimentary chart of wedding stress, based on personal data collection:

The biggest contributing factor to your need for a steady stream of Xanax is how everyone else at the wedding treats you. They ask all the questions that you've already asked yourself, and point out all the things that you're trying to shove deep into the recesses of your conscious mind.

As the older sibling of the bride or groom, these are the most common queries you have to field en route from the dance floor to the open bar:

1. Are you seeing anyone?

This question is always asked with so much hope. They want you to be seeing someone, and they mean well, but all you ever want to do is respond, "IF I WAS SEEING SOMEONE, THEY WOULD BE HERE." But instead, you politely say "I'm just enjoying single life!" Even though it's as enjoyable as opening a box full of spiders.

2. What happened to what's-his-name?

Usually a follow-up to question #1, this is the wedding attendee's desperate attempt to help you remember that you're in a relationship, because they want it for you so badly. Here's the thing, they don't actually want to know what happened to your ex (left you for his "work" wife), they just want to make sure you didn't "forget" that you're not sad and alone.

3. I heard you're really focusing on your career right now.

This is a bold faced lie. Your mom's best friend from book club did not hear the rumors that you're in line for a promotion from Principal Brand Developer to Principal Brand Specialist. She assumes you're concentrating on work because you have so much leftover energy from not dating anyone. On the plus side, at least they're asking about work instead of your stunted love life.

4. Have you seen all the single men here?

You bet your plate full of mini-crab-cakes I've seen all the single men here! Since it's my little brother's wedding, I memorized the RSVP list and did extensive Facebook stalking in the weeks leading up to this day to figure out exactly who I will be inappropriately groping on the dance floor once my heels come off.

5. Do you think you should be having another drink?

Yes.

The bar is still serving alcohol, so yes, I definitely need another drink.

6. Your brother is so young to be getting married!

The logic is that if your little brother or sister is young, it means you are also still young, and you have time to find a spouse before your eggs turn to wisps of dust or you begin to shoot enough blanks to win at Russian Roulette.

7. You look young for your age.

Hooray! Hopefully, that means someone will still find me marry-able even though I'm clearly past my expiration date and may spoil at any moment. This statement usually follows #6.

8. Your sister is lucky to have such a mature maid of honor!

The term "maid of honor" feels a lot closer to "old maid" when you're older than the bride. Also, that maturity runs out as soon as the DJ plays "Single Ladies" and you begin to furiously dance and cry simultaneously.

9. [insert story about niece/nephew who met spouse online]

This is a wedding guest's not-so-subtle reminder to give online dating a try. As if you haven't already tried Tinder, OK Cupid, PlentyofFish, eHarmony, Match.com, Grindr, 3nder and giving your number to anyone who asks for it, and sometimes people who don't ask for it.

10. Are you going to try to catch the bouquet?

What soothsayer hath foretold of this mysterious floral ritual? Blessed be! How doth such a sacred prophecy appear in my wake? Yes! I envision the holy bridal bouquet to descend into my open arms, thereby entitling me worthy to stand before the altar and wed my beloved.

Iggy Azalea probably gets a genre all to herself because nobody wanted to share one with her.

North Carolina-based rapper NLJ (or None Like Joshua) did the world a great service by cataloguing the 23 possible ways that a person can rap. That's it. Just 23.

I suppose it's possible that one day in the future, somebody might discover a 24th style of rap, but it seems unlikely that the style would hold up outside of laboratory conditions. These 23 naturally occurring strains are effectively the only ones that count.

Dr. Paul Olsen compared a bunch of plastic toys to what scientists really know about dinosaurs.

In case you ever wondered how accurate your childhood dinosaur toys were, here's your answer. They're total crap. That doesn't mean they're bad toys or anything – they're just miseducating multiple generations about the history of life on our planet.

The good people at Mashable Watercooler brought a collection of dino toys to Dr. Paul Olsen, a professor at Columbia University and an expert on dinosaurs. His criticisms run the gamut from obvious (no feathers) to esoteric (wrong number of toes).

Dr. Olsen acts pretty snobby about these toys, but you know he started playing with them as soon as the camera turned off. Dino geeks are all the same.

A teenage girl in the Bahamas crafted a "Sleeping Beauty" prom arrival for a "Best Entrance" contest.

She went to prom in an ambulance and woke up after she got kissed by prince charming lol pic.twitter.com/2Tsf79NWc3

Ashvonn Russell was driven to the dance in an ambulance, rolled out lying on a stretcher with her eyes closed, and then "woken up" by a kiss from her date. There's nothing like a literal ambulance to draw out the morbid subtext of Sleeping Beauty. The concept of this entrance is that a teenager pretended to be dead, right? And then her prom date magically revived her? Now I need to go to the hospital, because my face is stuck in a confused expression.

There are a lot of weird things about every aspect of this situation, but the issue a lot of people took is that Russell used a real ambulance. People found that offensive, because it wouldn't have been available for actual unconscious people who might have needed it. I think I would put more blame on whoever gave a teenage girl an ambulance to take to prom than on Russell herself. She's not the rogue EMT who threw the keys to a hopeful student with a creative spirit and a single-minded dream: to win "Best Entrance" at prom by pretending to be dead. (That's probably not what happened.)

After photos of Russell's entrance went viral on Twitter, some people started raising objections. Russell told Buzzfeed:

For all the people of my great nation and around the world that I have offended, I apologize. It was not my intention to offend anyone.

But she also said:

I can never apologize for being artistic and creative because that's what makes me who I am.

What do you think of Russell's entrance? If you thought it was a cool idea, let us know by putting on your best gown and stealing an ambulance.

If only we could teach dog tricks like these to our human children.

My God! If dogs are figuring out how to carry the groceries inside, then what's next? Are dogs going to learn how to carefully stack the groceries in the refrigerator and pantry? Will they begin clipping recipes from magazines and keeping them neatly stored inside an envelope in the utensils drawer? Will they plan out a week's worth of dinner and then methodically prepare them over the course of a Sunday afternoon, taking care to store each one in a plastic container inside the freezer so that they may be taken out, defrosted and microwaved in the coming days?

This is a slippery slope, people!

Actor Aaron Paul went on social media to announce a top secret project.

Can't wait to tell you what this is all about. It's top secret for now but you all will know soon enough. It's a new gig that I am over the moon about. Thank you angel for sending this to me from across the country. Love you lots and lots.

A photo posted by Aaron Paul (@glassofwhiskey) on Jun 13, 2015 at 6:50pm PDT

The project was a Breaking Bad spinoff starring Paul's character, Jesse Pinkman. And it was completley made up and isn't actually happening.

After teasing the announcement in an Instagram post (above), Paul did a Periscope livestream. With 3,000 fans tuned in, Paul said, "Listen, there's some super top secret news that I'm so proud to tell you."

This video (ripped from the livestream) is hard to watch because it freezes constantly, but in it Paul says that Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan just gave him the go-ahead to announce the new show. Then he says he was joking and there is no show. Then he answers a ton of fan questions, invites people to see a movie with him, lays his head down on a pillow, and encourages strangers to keep yelling "bitch" at him in the style of his Breaking Bad character.

I get that everyday, all day long, and I want it. Don't stop. Give it to me.

So, what is going on here? Does Paul miss his friends from Breaking Bad? Is he jealous of Bob Odenkirk for getting a Breaking Bad spinoff when he didn't? Is life after Breaking Bad harder than he expected? Or is he just really, really bored? It could be all of these things. It could be none. We may never know.

The only thing that's certain is that Aaron Paul is not getting a Breaking Bad spinoff.
