Red Hot Chili Peppers release Eddie Van Halen tribute song
On Friday, The Red Hot Chili Peppers shared the new song, “Eddie” in full. Anthony Kiedis said, “Sometimes we don’t realize how deeply affected and connected we are to artists until the day they die.” Ain’t that the truth. “In the end, our song asks that you not remember Eddie for dying but for living his wildest dream.” That’s deep! Take a listen below.

Major rule change considered for “Jeopardy!” — and fans don’t seem to be happy about it.
A rule change may be coming to long-time running game show Jeopardy! — one that is riling up fans.
The executive producer of the show is considering giving a cash bonus to contestants that answer an entire row of questions under one topic.
Mike Davies made the revelation on the podcast “Inside Jeopardy!” — here’s more details on what he said on the episode.
This revelation was meant with backlash from fans, one of whom summed up feelings best: if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
We’ll see if it becomes reality.
Fall into fall with Weezer
Rivers Cuomo and company have released SZNZ: Autumn EP, seven songs to celebrate the start of fall following the concept of their previous two SZNZ EPs (Spring and Summer).
Here’s their performance of “What Happens After You”.

Park Ridge rejects Harrison Ford statue, hates fun
Harrison Ford, space outlaw and Nazi killer, isn’t going to get a statue in Park Ridge. Ford attended Park Ridge’s Main East High School in the 1950s. The city claimed that the statue is too expensive to build, but having something to do in Park Ridge seems priceless.

Papa Emeritus IV throws out the first pitch as Sox playoff chances slip away
I’m not one for goblins or ghouls, so I question why the White Sox would invite such a spooky presence to their ballpark to throw out the first pitch, but Papa Emeritus IV of the Swedish rock band Ghost took the bump and lobbed the ball over the plate to kick off last night’s festivities.
Perhaps inviting such an evil presence to the South Side was a bad idea, as the Sox bats were too scared to show up. They pushed across two runs, which is nowhere near the run support that Johnny Cueto needs at this stage in his career. Cueto falls to 7-9 on the season as the Sox barely keep their heads above .500 and fall 7 games behind Cleveland for the lead in the AL Central.
Does your mom know that you like feet?
By clicking on this link, you’ve already outed yourself as being a deviant, so there’s no turning back now. The next time you get ready to suck on a little piggy, take a moment and think, “does my mother know that I like this?” For one recently married man, he and his mother have excellent communication skills.
Next time you call your mother, try being totally honest with her…for once.
Nerdy white boy busts out Shaggy impression, crushes karaoke
The thought of karaoke immediately triggers the sound of drunk, college girls screaming Taylor Swift songs in an octave that no one can listen to comfortably. It’s the closest you can get to pleasuring yourself in public without actually breaking the law; it’s fun for you, but no one actually wants to watch it.
The exception to this rule is Shaggy Kid, who dawned a “Vote for Pedro” shirt in 2022 and then proceeded to go absolutely bombastic on a crowd of unsuspecting partygoers.
If Brian, Ali, & Justin were to host a karaoke night, what song are you going to belt out? Let us know on our Facebook page.
Do the siblings of star athletes have it worse than the average child?
There’s nothing Brian, Ali, & Justin love more than an incredible athletic feat, but we fear we may have overlooked the victims of greatness. TikTok user “imnotdtf” (so don’t get any ideas, you freaks) sounded off on the app about how her brother being a star athlete negatively impacted her life.
Is she a victim of helicopter parenting? Should she hold resentment against her brother? Or do we all have our struggles, and she should just get over it?
What sacrifice have you made for your siblings? Let us know on Facebook!

Godspeed and good luck, gentlemen.
Comfortable? Don’t be. This is how your ex could ruin your wedding
The thing about an “ex” is that they are supposed to be gone from your life for good. They aren’t supposed to pop in, hangout, or interfere with your life in any way, shape, or form after you call it a day. Unfortunately for one man, he learned the hard way that even if you’re no longer dating, you can still be subject to an ex’s outbursts.
How did your ex impact your life after the breakup? The conversation lives on Facebook?
Oh, he’s also not gay, just in case anyone was wondering.
Footage from this early Linkin Park performance will put you in your feels
Our friends at impericon.com have compiled a video of some of rock’s most iconic bands at the earliest stages in their career, including some incredibly intimate footage of Chester Bennington and company performing in a room no bigger than the average teenage bedroom.

Justin Fields hates you and he wants you to know it
After getting throttled by the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night, the supposed-Bears franchise quarterback took the stand and complained about how Bears fans aren’t in the locker room, thus they don’t feel the same pain as Justin Fields. It’s funny to think that Fields, who has been with the Bears for approximately 20 seconds, thinks he can imagine the pain that lifelong Bears fans have suffered.
Fields backed that statement up like a U-Haul truck when he spoke to the press yesterday, but it is so clear that Fields is lying through his teeth. It took him 14 games between this season and last for Fields to get fed up with a city that he’s not tough enough to play in.
Are you ready to abandon Fields as the Bears quarterback? The conversation lives on Facebook?

It’s National Voter Registration Day — here’s what you need to get it done.
Abraham Lincoln said it best:
“Elections belong to the people. It’s their decision. If they decide to turn their back on the fire and burn their behinds, then they will just have to sit on their blisters.”
Abraham Lincoln
Today is National Voter Registration Day. According to U.S. Census data from 2020, as many as 1 in 4 eligible Americans are not registered to vote. Every year, millions of Americans find themselves unable to vote because they miss a registration deadline, don’t update their registration, or aren’t sure how to register. National Voter Registration Day wants to make sure everyone has the opportunity to vote.
If you aren’t registered, here is a good resource to get you started. Do you need to update your voter registration? Are you informed about when your next election is? Your local races? State races?
Today begins a new chapter in finding your voice in this country.
Watch the epic music video for The Smashing Pumpkins’ new song, “Beguiled”
The Smashing Pumpkins have announced their new album Atum (pronounced “autumn”), a 33-song rock opera in three acts that’s billed as the sequel to 1995’s Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness and 2000’s Machina/Machine of God. The new song “Beguiled” was first heard on Q101 when Brian, Ali, & Justin debuted it this morning.
Each act of Atum will be released every 11 weeks, with Act 1 leading off on November 15; Act 2 will follow on January 31, with Act 3 finishing the collection on April 21.
