Woman calls 9-1-1 after getting stuck upside down at 24 hour gym

A woman was caught hanging around a gym — hanging upside and needing help from first responders.

A TikTok user posted the video proof. Turns out she was very excited to show off exercises on an inversion table. So — she set up her phone to record herself. Little did she know she was going to record an incredibly embarrassing moment.

Turns out she was working out at a 24 hour fitness center at 3AM — and with no one nearby her, she ended up stuck completely upside down:

Pt. 2… 911 call next… #gymfail #workoutfail #stuck #failarmy #gym #fail #help #911

Oops. But good thing she was wearing her Apple Watch. She used it to summon help — and try and explain her, ummm….unique predicament.

@cfaulds20

“911, What’s the state of your emergency?” Well, I’m stuck…😂 #gymfail #dispatch #dispatcher #911call #funny #failarmy #fail #stuck #police #help #workoutfail #gym #fitfam

Glad it turned out okay — no pun intended.

Eric Kristensen is an on-air personality for Q101 in Chicago — and while not currently hanging upside down, he is definitely a little more twisted than your average friend. Maybe you add him on Instagram?

Tyler Joseph of twenty one pilots slips on a drumstick onstage

September 1, 2022 | <3 Lauren

Tuesday night, twenty one pilots were playing a near-hometown show in Cleveland, OH when at one point, drummer Joshua Dun allegedly dropped one of his drumsticks on the stage so that his bandmate and best friend would later slip and fall, twisting his ankle and slicing up his knee. Is this a sign of a deeper rift going on between the two?! Did Tyler accidentally step on Josh’s toe before the show and this was cold-blooded revenge? Is Josh mad Tyler didn’t wear matching boxer briefs when they accepted the Grammy for Stressed Out? Does Josh want to be a one-man band?!

No. It was a total accident and Josh feels really bad about it. But Tyler is such a badass he finished the show and made the best of a slippery situation.

After such a trauma, the clique immediately came to the rescue with a painfully accurate reenactment, Unsolved Mysteries quality. Well done, @SamTheProud

Sad drummer and bestie posts apology for all of the the internet to see.

Get well soon, Tyler. Make Josh buy you two dinners. Oh and I’ve got a chance for you to score a trip to Seattle to catch the last twenty one pilots show on the Icy Tour coming at 2:30p xo <3 Lauren

Tennis star hugs her dad… differently

Do They Belong To The Streets?!

September 1, 2022 | jnettlebeck

She found a cigarette butt with lipstick and THIS was his excuse… at least at first…

Ahoy my favorite people! My boyfriend belongs to the streets and I have to tell you how I found out. On Sunday I worked a graveyard shift and when I got home I noticed a cigarette butt with pink lipstick on it in my boyfriends ashtray. I don’t smoke and either do any of my friends so right away I knew there was a problem. I took a picture of it and sent it to him. At first he denied knowing anything about it. At one point he tried saying “the wind or a bird must have picked it up” which I thought was the worst excuse until I heard his next one. After hours of crying and fighting he looked me in the eyes and told me that sometimes he puts on my lipstick when I’m gone. He said he misses me a lot and was ashamed to tell me he did this. I went from crying to laughing in his face. I asked him to go get the lipstick he used and after fumbling around in the bathroom for a few minutes he comes out with eyeliner. What a freaking liar! For laughs and revenge I made him put the eyeliner on his lips to show me how he did it. I packed up some stuff, grabbed the dogs and went to my parents house. I am heartbroken and frustrated I wasted two years but I’m extremely happy I found out before we got married and had kids. Sorry to dump my sad story on you guys but I thought you’d find his excuse funny. Thanks for being the only thing stable in my life right now. I love you and hope to see you at Riot Fest! 🖤

Am I The Jerk? He could’ve helped her…

September 1, 2022 | jnettlebeck

Is he the jerk for not helping with groceries? Even though he paid her to do it?

I had a moment the other day that as it was happening I was thinking to myself “am I a jerk for this?” I ordered a bunch of groceries and when they showed up it started raining really hard. I didn’t want to get wet and I’m paying for the service so I didn’t help the delivery woman. I just stood there watching her through the window get wetter and wetter with every trip. Around the 6th trip back and fourth I started to feel guilty and went out to help her but by then she was already done. She was very sweet and reminded me a lot of my polish grandmother. I tipped her $5, does that prevent me from being a jerk or am I still a jerk for not helping her? Yes she’s old and yes it was raining but I paid for a service, I didn’t pay to help. Do you guys think I am a jerk for this?

America’s sweetheart, Dolly Parton, just got even cuter with her dog clothing line called, “Doggy Parton.” A portion of the proceeds from Dolly’s and Billy’s “pet” project will go to Willa B.

Leo is single! Here’s a look at ALL the girlfriends he’s had since he was 25…

September 1, 2022 | jnettlebeck

Leonardo DiCaprio is one of the THE hottest actors in Hollywood and has been for several decades. He’s got it all. If you asked a girl in 2000-2010 who her favorite was- it was him… or Brad Pitt. What I’m saying is, he’s got: money, looks, and talent. A triple threat! With that, he’s had quite the string of gorgeous women on his arm over the decades, including the future wives of Tom Brady and Ryan Reynolds. Also, they all have something in common- they never get over 25! “I keep gettin’ older they stay the same age.”

August 31, 2022 | jnettlebeck

They took home the award for Best Alternative Video, but that’s not why people were talking about Maneskin at the VMA’s on Sunday night. Apparently, their live show had to be censored due to lead singer David’s cheeky outfit. You probably didn’t see Prince’s “Get Off” outfit from 1991, but it was like that. Here is what you should’ve seen in their first VMA performance ever for, “Supermodel!”

If we know the female brain the way I think I do, we know that Target is the happiest place on Earth. That’s why we were stunned when we some this woman Karen make such a scene, demanding her boyfriend marry her during his shift at the Super Center.

While we don’t like the way she went about it, we do think it’s probably time that you men out there fire up Pinterest and start building a Target-themed wedding.

At Washington Community High School just outside of Peoria, the football team gave the most important people on the roster a chance to shine: the moms. At a preseason practice, the player’s makers were invited to pad up and throw down against their spawn.

Props to the moms for getting low and hitting hard.

More young people are smoking weed than ever before, America becoming pretty damn cool

August 29, 2022 | clowe

A federally funded study revealed that more young people are smoking marijuana and tripping out on psychedelics than ever before. The study conducted by the University of Michigan for the National Institutes of Health In found that 43% of adults ages 19 to 30 smoked cannabis at some point last year, a significant jump from 34% five years ago and 29% in 2011 and the highest recorded since 1988.

This jump is obvious after 19 states have legalized recreational use of the drug.

Please smoke responsibly so we don’t get in trouble for this headline.

Flea will love you, even when no one else will

August 29, 2022 | clowe

Red Hot Chili Peppers’ funkiest member, the eternal Flea, had some incredible words for people around the world as the band accepted their Global Icon Award at last night’s VMA’s.

When Flea wasn’t thanking the ground that he walked on, the Chili Peppers took time out of their acceptance speech to remember the late Taylor Hawkins. Chad Smith, the band’s drummer, dedicated the award to his “brother”.

During their performance, Smith’s bass drum prominently paid tribute to Hawkins with ”Taylor” written across it within a hawk — one that resembles a tattoo the Foo Fighters’ drummer had on his arm.
