Australia’s ‘dancing goalkeeper’ has moves
In their World Cup qualifying game against Peru, Australia was nervous going into a shoot out. But their goalie Andrew Redmayne, or the ‘dancing goalie’ wasn’t. He has his own way of getting rid of the jitters and performing. Instead of being a sitting duck on the line, he moves about to try to already be on his toes for the ball. Watch him save the game!
The PIQNIQ schedule is here!
How much the Naked and Afraid contestants actually get paid…
Naked and Afraid is the show where people are dumped into the middle of nowhere in the elements with a few items of their choosing and then expected to survive for days on end. Most people dip out immediately once they get hungry or mosquitoes take over their body. Don’t they know that the net the and the machete are musts?! In any event, here is how much they get paid to do the show and show off their survival abilities-
Forget getting “the boot” on your car, now you need to fear “the barnacle”
Aer you the kind of person that gets parking tickets? Well you better be more careful because parking cops aren’t just using the boot anymore, they’ve moved on to something more annoying- “The Barnacle.” It sticks to your windshield and suctions to the glass with a keypad. It has an alarm and a tracking system, so they know if you’re trying to get away! It’s the type of thing that you’ll only get if you have A LOT of parking tickets. And there is an upside, instead of waiting for an entire day for someone to come and remove the boot, you just have to call, pay your fees, and they will type in a code to unlock the barnacle in minutes. Fine. I’ll pay my tickets!

When you don’t check the address before you bulldoze…
Just when you left it was safe to leave your house… In this video, a woman realizes that the wrong house has been demolished by a guy running the bulldozer. It’s a travesty! But, she’ll probably get a free house right???
A man built a movie theatre… for squirrels
A man in Detroit realized that squirrels would never get to experience the cinema, so he built them their own little movie theatre for around $500. He used an old tablet and even made a confession stand filled with popcorn and fruit. He put a camera inside so he could so what they were up to, so cute!
Mom THINKS she bought tickets to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers, instead is sadly mistaken
Back in March, a New York mom thought she was treating her daughter to a night with the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Turns out she was just one word off.
As documented on TikTok, the duo instead saw the Celtic rock band — the Red Hot Chili PIPERS, who feature three highland bagpipers and a traditional marching snare. So — no songs about California. But it is reported that the two ladies had a great time at the show. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Man found guilty of putting flowers on fiancée’s grave
An Alabama man has been found guilty and awaits sentencing for leaving flowers on his fiancée’s grave.
To be more specific, Winston Hagans was leaving a custom-made flower box and blooms — which was against city rules & considered litter.
It would have been okay with Auburn Parks & Rec officials if he had family approval — but tt was her father that signed the warrant for his arrest, admitting during the trial that he “did not approve” of the relationship.
The man was directed to pay $300 in fines and will avoid jailtime if he agrees to stop.
Weezer Chia Pet! A perfect gift for the perfect situation…
The perfect gift doesn’t exi…..
A River Cuomo-modeled, honest to goodness Chia Pet has appeared on the band’s official merch shop. As you may have noticed, it is modeled after the album cover for SZNZ: Spring, which was released this past spring — naturally.
Look up in the sky! It’s a bank! It’s a toll booth! (Nope, it’s a new Taco Bell restaurant)
It may look like a place to deposit your check or some sort of toll-collection device on the Jane Addams, but no — this is a futurist taco delivery device. Meet Defy, a one-of-a-kind concept restaurant that might change how you make a run for the border.
Instead of ONE drive-thru lane, there are FOUR — three devoted to mobile or delivery orders, in addition to the traditional one. It also features an elevated kitchen above the lanes. What you might notice is — zero places to sit inside. That’s gone.
So check out the only one in existence — Brooklyn Park, Minnesota. It might be the best idea they’ve had since turning the Mexican Pizza into a musical.
The Angels tried to break their losing streak, and enlisted Nickelback for help
The Angels have not been good lately, and are willing to try anything to break the losing streak. Someone thought they should change their walk-up music… to all Nickelback songs on Wednesday night. Did it work?! No. Of course not, they suck! But it certainly is awesome watching a dude try to get the crowd hyped with “Photograph.” Laugh all you want, it’s more money in Nickelback’s pocket.
The Golden Nugget Pancake House in Old Irving Park closes after 52 years
The Golden Nugget Pancake House closed Sunday after 52 years! The location at 4229 W. Irving Park Road was once a 24-hour restaurant, but due to fewer customers, and difficulty finding staff, the eatery closed Sunday. A note on the door let customers know what locations their favorite workers were moved to, but many will miss weekend breakfast there and having a place where everyone knew their name. There are still four remaining locations in the city: 2406 W. Diversey Ave., 3959 W. Diversey Ave., 3001 N. Central Ave. and 1765 W. Lawrence Ave.
