A video of a Red Baron pizza worker who was confronted by a prankster while on the job has gone viral, sparking a huge outpouring of support for the man from strangers and his employer alike — with the company telling Fox News Digital it stands behind its employee. 

A video that circulated online shows the worker, identified in a GoFundMe fundraiser as Walt Z., stocking frozen Red Baron pizzas in a Meijer grocery store in White Lake, Michigan, according to reports. 

The prankster is shown coming up to Walt and asking him for the time.

Then, as Walt takes out his phone to check, the person plays a sound resembling an Apple Pay transaction and claims to have stolen $10 from him, thanking him and telling him he needs to buy something.

Walt initially says he plans to report the prankster and becomes increasingly upset as the person insists it was just a joke.

"My life is hard enough as it is," Walt tells the prankster. 

He explains that he was already an hour late getting home, his children had already gone to bed without him and he would have to get up at 5 a.m. the next day for work. 

He also mentions that he is struggling to pay his mortgage.

"I don't need this in my life," he exclaims as others try to step in.

The footage went viral on social media this week as people bashed the prankster and rallied behind the struggling father of four for pushing back on the cruel joke. 

"There’s a guy like him in every grocery store in America, grinding through the shift nobody sees," one X user wrote. 

"Turning one of them into the punchline isn’t edgy. It’s lazy."

"God bless the working man," another commenter wrote.

Fox News Digital attempted to reach Walt Z. and also reached out Red Baron. 

As of Saturday, Oct. 31, a GoFundMe campaign had raised more than $679,000 from over 19,000 donations.

The fundraiser says donations will be sent directly to Walt.

Red Baron also publicly backed its employee after the video circulated. 

The company posted on X, "He’s still here. He’s got a fan club. Including us," alongside a graphic announcing that "employee of the month nominations are closed. You know why" — suggesting that Walt might be selected for the honor.

Red Baron told Fox News Digital the incident took place in August and involved a member of its Direct Store Delivery team.

The company said it had checked on the employee’s well-being, continues to offer support and is working with retail partners to help maintain a safe and respectful workplace.

While internet users feared Walt could lose his job over his reaction to the incident, the company said, "We are pleased to share that he is doing well and remains a valued member of our team."

Red Baron added that Walt is grateful for the support but has requested privacy.

In an update posted to the fundraiser, Walt thanked those who donated, shared the campaign or sent messages of support. 

He said he and his family are doing well and also asked that their privacy be respected.

"I wanted to take a moment to personally thank everyone who has donated, shared this fundraiser, or left a kind message," Walt Z. wrote on the fundraiser page.

"The kindness and encouragement you've shown me and my family have meant more than I can put into words."

Well, Miami Heat fans, you actually got a fixed-up Dwyane Wade statue before "Grand Theft Auto VI."

Just barely, and note that before "GTA VI" started taking over your arena, but still...

You may recall that two years ago, the Heat unveiled a statue honoring franchise legend Dwyane Wade. It quickly went viral, and not because it belongs in the Louvre.

At what point in human history did we stop making good statues? How did some dude with a chisel during the Renaissance make a perfect sculpture of a Greek god, but nailing the visage of an athlete — who we can all picture or you can physically look at a picture — is now hard?

We've seen it happen to Cristiano Ronaldo; Allen Iverson got one so small you could use it as a paperweight, and of course, there's Wade's.

But now the Wade statue has gotten a refresh in the form of what the team calls "enhancements."

By "enhancements," they mean it looks more like Wade than it used to, which it didn't feel like at all.

What an improvement, although, truthfully, a kid with a box of Crayolas (64-count, with the sharpener; the good one) could have made some improvements on that original one.

It's good they got that fixed, but it's not like everyone's mind is going to be wiped "Men in Black"-style so they forget the first abomination.

And, honestly, I think people are going to miss the original statue that was allegedly of Dwyane Wade.

The new statue looks enough like Wade that it's not funny, but not enough like him that it's a masterpiece. You want to be in one of those spaces.

Now, there's nothing remarkable, good or bad, about it, and I think in a few years, people will be clamoring for that statue that looks as if D-Wade stumbled into the "Backrooms."

Target is joining the Thanksgiving meal-deal race with a pitch that pairs budget-friendly staples with fresh twists on holiday favorites.

The Minneapolis-based retailer's $30 offer is about $10 more than last year's meal, which served four people, but Target says this year's version serves six, keeping the cost at about $5 per person.

The deal includes nine grocery items: a Butterball turkey weighing up to 10 pounds, a 3-pound bag of russet potatoes, cranberry sauce, two cans of green beans, cream of mushroom soup, fried onions, turkey stuffing mix, turkey gravy and two take-and-bake baguettes, according to a release shared with Fox News Digital.

AMERICANS ARE MAKING COSTLY GROCERY MISTAKE EVEN BEFORE ENTERING THE STORE, EXPERT WARNS

"Thanksgiving and Friendsgiving are such joyful moments for our guests, and Target is making it easy and budget-friendly for them to plan meals that include plenty of familiar favorites plus some of the latest food trends," John Conlin, senior vice president of merchandising for food and beverage at Target, said in a statement.

The offering includes the ingredients to make a green bean casserole, and shoppers should expect to prepare and cook the rest of the meal themselves.

Target is also promoting an expanded selection of $5 sides, pies, appetizers and wine, including new flavors and products.

The deal is valid Nov. 8 through Nov. 29, before tax.

It is not available in Alaska or Hawaii, according to Target.

COSTCO SLASHES PRICE OF POPULAR HOLIDAY TREAT AFTER SHOPPERS BALKED AT LAST YEAR'S HIKE

A separate deal for a 79-cent-per-pound Good & Gather frozen turkey — not the Butterball turkey included in the meal deal — will begin in November.

Reactions to the $30 deal online were mixed.

In a Twin Cities Reddit discussion, shoppers focused on the change in quantities, with some debating whether this year's offering had fewer potatoes and more green beans.

Others still saw value, especially as grocery prices in the U.S. remain high. 

"Sounds like a good deal for a meal anyhow," one person wrote.

Another said grocery stores near them were "significantly more expensive" for the holiday items they needed.

In a Facebook post by consumer journalist Jeff Rossen, one woman commented that a 10-pound turkey "doesn't feed six people at my house."

Another commenter said, "What, no dessert?" noting that the deal doesn't include one.

Children’s YouTube creator Ms. Rachel called it racist for police to respond to a Florida youth soccer game, where a Black league official said the parents of a 3-year-old player were causing a disturbance.

In an Instagram post, the pink headband radical political activist who is best known for entertaining toddlers with her "Songs for Littles," has donated thousands of dollars to liberal candidates during this election cycle. She's hopped on as many pet Liberal causes as she can find.

And then the headlines of the cops being called on the Black boy playing soccer started flooding in on social media.

MS RACHEL BUILDS SPRAWLING MEDIA EMPIRE WHILE SHELLING OUT THOUSANDS TO PROGRESSIVE CANDIDATES

Ms. Rachel quickly declared she was "LIVID" over what she says is an incident where cops "were called on a 3-year-old Black boy because he's too good at soccer."

As OutKick has reported, the cops were not called to a Winter Park, Fla., soccer field because the boy named Nevada was too good at soccer. Bodycam footage obtained by OutKick shows an unidentified league official explaining to police how the boy's parents caused a "disturbance" after the official held the boy out of the game, so other kids could get game experience.

"He was kicked out of the league," Ms. Rachel, who's hailed as a champion of children, declared. "I need my sports people to show up!!! This is racist, sick, traumatizing and disgusting," she added.

Even with the bodycam footage readily available for her to watch, Ms. Rachel's statement remains on Instagram. OutKick reached out to Ms. Rachel to ask if she'd like to clarify her stance on the situation being an example of racism. Neither Ms. Rachel, nor her representatives at Creative Artists Agency (CAA), have responded.

Instead of correcting the record for the millions of fans she has on social media, Ms. Rachel quickly pivoted to posting a video claiming ICE broke the wrist of a 20-year-old student who has special needs.

What Ms. Rachel missed about the Florida soccer story, because she's not interested in hearing the truth, is that the parents of the boy were using him as a content factory for likes and followers on TikTok and Instagram, where Nevada was a star before Saturday's incident.

MOMS FOR LIBERTY CO-FOUNDER WARNS PARENTS ABOUT MS RACHEL’S POLITICAL ACTIVISM, ‘NOT MR ROGERS’

The kid was encouraged to dominate 5U beginner soccer kids by a father who yelled to keep the ball. The words "pass the ball" never come out of the father's mouth. There's no doubt that the boy is talented. "Nevada Missed 3 games this season and still ended the season with 40 goals in just 4 games," the parents bragged in a May Instagram post.

The family parlayed Saturday's incident into a GoFundMe that has now generated over $46,000. They have shown no interest in correcting the record. Mom and dad continue to push the same narrative that the cops were called on the boy. And Ms. Rachel doesn't appear interested in correcting the record, either.

"The reality is that Rachel Griffin Accurso, who plays the character of Ms. Rachel, should not be trusted with your kids," Fox News Digital's Karol Markowicz wrote in September.

Mississippi State's worst fears have unfortunately come to fruition as quarterback Kamario Taylor will miss the remainder of the Bulldogs' season due to injury.

Mississippi State issued a statement on Tuesday confirming earlier reports that the signal caller would be sidelined for the rest of 2026 due to "a foot injury that requires surgery." ESPN reported that the season-ending surgery will be performed on his toe.

Taylor injured his toe during Mississippi State's win over Missouri on Sept. 26.

OHIO STATE QB JULIAN SAYIN'S INJURY MAY COMPLETELY RESHAPE THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF RACE

The Mississippi native played through the injury in State's 56-23 loss to Alabama on Oct. 3, a game in which he threw for 258 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions. The Bulldogs then went into their bye week before playing at LSU on Oct. 17, a game Taylor did not suit up for, and one State was shut out 31-0.

Taylor started under center for the Bulldogs against Oklahoma on Oct. 24, but threw just five passes before being sidelined and later leaving the field in a walking boot on his right foot. The Bulldogs fell at home to the Sooners 23-15.

"Over the last few weeks, I've worked every day with our medical staff and done everything possible to be out there with my teammates," Taylor said in a statement.

"Missing the rest of this season is hard to accept, but I know God has a plan. I love this team and I love Mississippi State."

It's not an overreaction to say that Taylor being shelved for the rest of the year is among the most detrimental news any Power Four program in the country could be dealt.

Taylor, a sophomore, began the season putting up Heisman Trophy-type numbers with 15 total touchdowns, 1,192 passing yards, and just two interceptions over the course of the Bulldogs' first four games of the season.

Mississippi State was not only on track to become the most surprising team in the SEC, but around the sport in general, mostly due to Taylor's NFL-caliber arm and freakishly fast start to the year.

In the early stages of the season, one could easily make the argument that the two best quarterbacks in college football happened to be residing in the state of Mississippi, with Taylor in Starkville and Trinidad Chambliss under center for Ole Miss in Oxford.

With Taylor done for the year, Mississippi State will likely lean on Parker Puckett, a redshirt freshman who walked onto the program. Puckett has completed 64 percent of his 64 passes this season, thrown for one touchdown, and a pair of interceptions.

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., posted a serene lakeside video Friday set to a Somali hip-hop song whose lyrics boast of enemies scattering and being "crushed," days after federal agents searched her Washington home as part of a criminal investigation.

"Less scrolling, more strolling. Enjoying our beautiful Minnesota lakes," the embattled congresswoman wrote on X in a post made at the end of last week.

She attached a video of herself and her husband, Tim Mynett, walking on a dock over a lake with vibrant fall foliage in the background. The pair posed, smiled and appeared to chat as they serenely strolled across the dock, looking fondly at each other as the lawmaker running for reelection held a coffee. It ended with a montage of images from their walk.

But a loud Somali hip-hop song accompanying the video told a much different story.

ILHAN OMAR DOUBLES DOWN ON ‘REAL NAME’ WHEN CONFRONTED AT MALL OF SOMALIA

"Let me reveal who I really am. No enemy dares threaten me, wherever I step, they scatter," the lyrics to the song say in Somali, according to a translation obtained by Fox News Digital. "They flee and stay far away. I have always been the source of their distress."

The song, "Nimaan Ciilayba Icaaya," is by Ilkacase Qays, whose real name is Muse Abdikadir. His website describes him as a "U.S. based Somali singer, rapper and activist." The duet-style track features Somali singer Hodan Abdirahman.

A cultural analysis of the song says it is "a powerful example of Somali lyrical poetry built around pride, bravery, personal dignity and unwavering trust in Allah."

"A fool’s words carry no weight," the lyrics say. "Those I have angered now insult me. If the just one had felt anger on my behalf, would he not have crushed the enemy underfoot? With the strength the almighty has given me, If I draw on it late in the afternoon, by evening, I will have taught you a lesson."

FEDERAL AGENTS RAID ILHAN OMAR’S DC HOME AMID IMMIGRATION FRAUD INVESTIGATION

The analysis describes the artist as using "exaggerated imagery to ridicule his opponents, portraying them as people who would lose sleep, suffer humiliation, and even seek supernatural assistance out of desperation."

"You go without sleep, overcome with anguish, weeping in spite," the lyrics continued. "You howl like a demon through the night, because you cannot match me! Swallow your anger and choke on it if the just one had felt anger on my behalf."

Omar, who sources say is actually named Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, reemerged in Minnesota on Friday. It came after nearly two weeks out of the public eye following an Oct. 12, 2026, raid on her Washington, D.C., home, conducted by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents. 

Members of the media followed her intently as she cast an early ballot alongside state Attorney General Keith Ellison at a polling place in Minneapolis on Friday. The pair then appeared at the Karmel Mall of Somalia in Minneapolis, where they enjoyed lunch among members of the Somali community and posed for photographs.

HOMAN SAYS ILHAN OMAR COULD BE STRIPPED OF NATURALIZATION, DEPORTED IF IMMIGRATION FRAUD IS PROVEN

Later in the day, Omar posted the video to X. It is unclear when it was filmed.

The Somali-born Minnesota lawmaker restricted who can respond directly to her social media post, with the only publicly facing comment being from ousted former U.S. House "Squad" member Cori Bush, who wrote: "We love this."

Omar is being investigated for potential fraud related to immigration paperwork filled out by her or her father when she was becoming a United States citizen. HSI is the main investigatory agency for the Department of Homeland Security.

During the raid, Omar's passport and cellphone were confiscated by federal agents.

Her sister, Sahra Noor, was interviewed by federal investigators in the wake of the raid. Federal agents have also obtained Omar's DNA, Fox News reported.

If fraud is proven, Omar could be denaturalized, border czar Tom Homan said last week.

Celebrities are getting real about their best and worst on-screen smooches.

Rob Lowe recently praised one of his former co-stars as the best on-screen kiss of his career, while Nicole Kidman previously roasted one of her former screen partners as her worst.

Whether it was the circumstances surrounding the shoot, the chemistry between the actors or a co-star's choices at lunch, these star's share what can make or break a romantic scene for them.

Here are some stars who have disclosed their best and worst on-screen kisses.

Rob Lowe dished on the actress he considers to be his best on-screen kiss.

During a recent appearance on "Watch What Happens Live," the "The Outsiders" star told host Andy Cohen while playing "Plead the Fifth" that his best kiss was with co-star, Nastassja Kinski, while filming "The Hotel New Hampshire."

"Have a look at her," he said when asked what made her the best. "At that moment in time, she was probably the most beautiful woman I’d certainly ever seen."

While she was his favorite co-star to kiss, he also mentioned he felt "very, very scared" to kiss her.

Sharon Stone has only one co-star in mind when it comes to her best kiss.

During an interview on  SiriusXM’s "Radio Andy" in April, the actress called Robert De Niro, "the best kisser in the business," and said the kiss they shared while filming the 1995 movie, "Chicago," "really just knocked me out."

"We did this scene where I have to go to the bathroom, and because I play this hustler, I get him to give me money to go," Stone explained. "He gives me this money and I look at him like, ‘Really? I think a little more than $50 for the bathroom.' And he … reaches in, and he gives me, like, $100, and then I lean over, and I kiss him."

The kiss was enjoyed by both her and De Niro, with Stone telling Andy Cohen that when director, Martin Scorsese, asked if they wanted to film the scene again, "We both looked at him and went, 'Yeah, I think maybe we need one more.'"

Although fans love the kiss between Rocky Balboa and Adrian in "Rocky," Sylvester Stallone doesn't have fond memories from filming the scene.

In a recent interview with Page Six Hollywood, Stallone referred to his kiss with actress Talia Shire as "the kiss from hell," but it was no fault of the actress.

"Then I go in to kiss her — pull the hat off, the glasses — and… her nose is running. Badly," he said. "So we go in for the kiss and she goes [bad coughing noise]. And I go, ‘Oh my God!’And I have to keep moving forward. There is no reverse. So I knew exactly as soon as I kissed her that within an hour I had the flu."

He then recalled that shortly after filming the romantic scene, he found himself in bed with a runny nose.

Nicole Kidman did not hold back when it came to describing her worst on-screen kiss.

During an appearance on the "Las Culturistas" podcast in March, the "Practical Magic" star revealed she "cannot stand bad breath," calling it a "dealbreaker" for her when it comes to men. She noted, "You want me to lean in? Smell good."

She then called out her former "Big Little Lies" co-star, Alexander Skarsgard, for eating a falafel shortly before they were going to film a romantic scene.

"I'm like, 'No, no, no, Alex. I'm meant to be kissing you and into you. Put away the falafel now. Because the bad breath does not turn me on,'" she recalled. "I said, 'No more falafel. Nope. Not before you kiss. Not before you make love. No more falafel. Put the falafel away.'"

Kate Hudson has been very honest about how she feels about her on-screen kisses with many of her former co-star's.

While playing Vanity Fair’s Lie Detector Test with her "The Glass Onion" co-star, Janelle Monáe, Hudson was asked to compare her on-screen kisses with two former co-stars; Billy Crudup and Matthew McConaughey.

"I think Billy is a gentler kisser," she said. "Better? I wouldn’t say better. Definitely…definitely just gentler. It’s a more sophisticated version of a kiss...It’s like theater, Stanislavski, and like Longhorns."

Hudson was then asked about her kiss with Dane Cook she quickly replied, "No. Canceled." She starred with him in 2008’s "My Best Friend’s Girl."

She previously told Gwyneth Paltrow during an appearance on her "Goop" podcast in October 2020 that her kiss with McConaughey in "Fool's Gold" was one of her worst.

"The thing is, every time I kiss McConaughey, it's like there's just something happening and there's like snot or wind," she laughed. "When we were kissing in the end of 'Fool's Gold,' we're like in the ocean, we had the plane crash. He just had snot all over his face."

When speaking with Monáe, she confirmed that her favorite on-screen kiss was with Liv Tyler, saying "She has the softest lips of them all."

Despite being in a relationship with him, Sally Field named her kiss with Burt Reynolds while filming "Smokey and the Bandit" was her worst on-screen kiss.

During an appearance on "Watch What Happens Live," in December 2022, the "Mrs. Doubtfire" star said "It was just not something he did very well."

Cohen pushed Field to give more details about what made it so bad, asking if it was "The tongue?"

"No, we’re not totally involved [with the kiss], it was just a lot of drooling," she said.
