A few weeks ago, I tried something new: a guided hot sauna experience followed by a guided ice bath experience. The experience was hosted by a brand-new sauna and ice bath studio called Othership. Ice baths are just about everywhere right now. While cold plunges are nothing new, they’ve become something of a wellness trend among fitness influencers, CEOs, and celebrities.

It's a cornerstone of American shopping, with generations eager to buy everything from back-to-school clothes to holiday gifts.

Lifelong friends Andy Griffith and Don Knotts were quite a team on The Andy Griffith Show, which originally aired on CBS from 1960 to 1968. In 1965, Knotts left the series (to make big-screen movies), which later transitioned into Mayberry RFD, with Ken Berry taking over the lead from Griffith.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.
