The Nose Brings Its Kids to Work

Chicago White Sox first baseman Adam LaRoche abruptly retired from baseball last week with a year and $13 million left on his contract because the team's front office told him he had to stop bringing his 14-year-old son Drake into the clubhouse so much. Then the actual team rallied behind both LaRoches. But it turns out it all happened 'cause Adam's teammates complained about Drake. But so anyway: Aren't people who bring their kids to work with them just the worst?

And: There's this big hit song that all the kids are loving on called... "Stressed Out." Because the kids are all miserable, I guess. Probably because their parents keep dragging them to work with them.

And then: Three months ago, Kraft updated its decades-old Mac & Cheese recipe (formula?), removing the artificial preservatives and colors. And guess what? You had no idea.
