Billy Corgan has called Highland Park home for two decades. And now, he’s helping out his home.

The Smashing Pumpkins lead has announced a charity show for the victims of the July 4th shooting happening later this month at his tea shop, Madame Zuzu’s.

In a video shared on Twitter, he & his partner Chloe Mendel are asking people to tune in on YouTube for the free show and donate what they can. They also say “members of the Smashing Pumpkins family” and other special guests will be joining them as well.

Tune in July 27th at 8PM CST.

Relationship Court

This listener wants to know- is there ANY WAY OUT of the friendzone?!

I have a “friend” who has a friend who is desperately trying to get out of the friendzone but nothing he is doing is working. He climbed in her bed and waited for her to get out the shower which I thought was odd but then I thought “ohhh I see you man, that’s smart”… She got out of the shower and kicked him out of her room… another fail for him.

If you find yourself in the friendzone, is there any way out??? HOW DO YOU GET OUT OF THE FRIENDZONE?

Indiana man claims running on all fours has made him ripped!

A personal trainer in Indiana says walking/running around on all fours everyday has made him crazy ripped. He claims he did not get the inspiration from a dog though. Nathaniel Nolan started this workout after his jujitsu and breakdancing practices started to wear on him. He wants others to try the All 4s ways!

A guy created a parlay card for a wedding!

Th card came with funny little prop bets of typical wedding stuff, like will there be a DJ, who is going to cry first- the bride or the groom, etc. Similar to when Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson in Wedding Crashers placing bets on which Bible verses will be read at the alter, this card was entertaining for all at the wedding. Now it’s giving other guys ideas for their weddings. Maybe start some lines for any upcoming weddings that you’re planning on attending!

You can stay in this hotel room for free- but there’s a catch

Hotel Paradiso in Ibiza offers a free hotel room to it’s guests that’s in the lobby of the building. Oh, it’s walls are also made of glass so everyone checking in and out can check you out. Hope you’re not shy because literally everyone will see you. Even the night staff when you’re trying to sleep. It’s their own art installation… would you do it?
