Vita Coco
Vita Coco has become the warm-weather essential for a generation constantly on the move, delivering a cleaner, more functional answer to hydration during another brutal summer of record-breaking heat. Packed with naturally occurring electrolytes — including 3.5x more than the leading sports drink — the brand's coconut water helps replenish what long commutes, beach days, workouts, and heat waves quickly drain away, without the artificial colors or overly sweet formulas crowding store shelves. Equal parts refreshing and performance-minded, Vita Coco bridges wellness and lifestyle with an easy-drinking formula that feels just as at home in a gym bag as it does beside a rooftop pool, making it one of the smartest ways to stay cool when temperatures refuse to cooperate.

T-Mobile Postpaid
Switching wireless carriers has traditionally involved enough friction to keep most people exactly where they are, but T-Mobile is trying to remove that excuse with a streamlined digital process designed to get customers through checkout in 15 minutes or less per line.

To further lower the barrier, T-Mobile's Keep & Switch program offers up to $800 via virtual prepaid card to help pay off eligible phones when customers make the move, creating a proposition that is equal parts convenience and cost savings.

Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond
Even comedic icons have idols. In Jim Carey's case, it's Andy Kaufman. Carey got the chance to be his hero in the 1999 film Man on the Moon. But he didn't just portray Kaufman, he actually became him, resulting in some insane off-screen shenanigans. So bad, Universal has kept the behind-the-scenes footage locked up for nearly 20 years. On November 17th, these shots will finally see the light of day via this Netflix documentary.
MGMT / Little Dark Age
MGMT is back with a fourth album, and with that comes the release of their title track. The song boasts their signature psychedelic sound but with a slightly more sinister vibe. Pair that with the creepy, goth-inspired visuals of David MacNutt and Nathaniel Axel, and it'll be the spookiest video you'll see this Halloween. Little Dark Age, the band's first record in four years, is due out in 2018.

Jimmy Kimmel Interviews David Letterman
Aging vagrant and late night legend David Letterman got out of the house for the first time since his retirement — for an interview with Jimmy Kimmel. Sporting an incredible beard, Letterman talked with Kimmel about sending Conan O'Brien a horse, his new show on Netflix, and reconnected with Paul Shaffer. Retirement hasn't slowed down Letterman at all — he's just as sharp as when he left his desk.
