Fri, 29 May 2026 14:25:24 -0400
Nate Bargatze has built a career proving that comedy doesn't need coarse language or innuendo to make audiences laugh. And now he has a movie, The Breadwinner (PG), delivering that same family-friendly punch. The plot follows Bargatze’s character, Nate Wilcox, as he struggles with life as a stay-at-home dad after his wife (played by Mandy Moore) strikes a business deal on Shark Tank. It’s a production of Wonder Project, Nateland Entertainment and One Man Canoe.Here are three reasons families likely will love it:1. Bargatze Takes Center StageBargatze has become America's leading clean comedian thanks to a blend of deadpan delivery, relatable observations about everyday life and a trademark self-deprecating humor—a unique combination that has landed him on the Primetime Emmy Awards, Saturday Night Live and a CBS holiday special. He's the type of comedian mom and dad will enjoy just as much as the kids and the grandparents. The Breadwinner is Bargatze's first feature film, and he takes center stage as a devoted dad who loves his three daughters—a teen, a tween and an elementary-age child—but quickly realizes he has plenty of catching up to do when it comes to the day-to-day responsibilities his wife has long handled.Photo credit: ©WonderProject

Thu, 28 May 2026 14:30:00 -0400
May brought no shortage of reminders that kindness, courage, and compassion are still making a difference in everyday life. In a world where heavy headlines often dominate our attention, these positive stories invite us to pause and notice the goodness unfolding in grocery stores, hospital rooms, fast-food restaurants, school dances, neighborhoods, and even ordinary DoorDash deliveries.This month’s collection highlights people of all ages stepping up when it mattered most: a woman helping a 78-year-old delivery driver, a grocery store employee protecting a couple from a costly scam, a toddler showing unexpected kindness to a stranger, and a doctor going above and beyond to care for a child and his siblings. We also saw incredible bravery from a 9-year-old who performed CPR, young people creating tools to help first responders better serve children with autism, and everyday heroes rushing into action during medical emergencies and a terrifying house fire.Each of these stories is a beautiful reminder that love does not always arrive in grand gestures. Sometimes it looks like paying attention, offering help, keeping a promise, protecting someone vulnerable, or choosing compassion in a moment when it would be easier to walk away. As we look back on these uplifting stories from May, may they encourage us to notice the people around us and remember that even small acts of kindness can leave a lasting impact.Featured Image Credit: Facebook/WTVR CBS 6 News
