A White Sox fan brought an actual live, fluffy, cute, bunny to the game! Yes, they have dog day, but no official rabbit day. It still didn’t stop this fan from bringing his favorite pet.

This wasn’t exactly the number one thing on my mind this morning — but thanks, Internet.
A couple of University of Michigan professors have been applying pee to peony flower beds this spring to highlight the economic and environmental benefits of such recycling.
Turns out what we consider a waste product contains “essential nutrients such as nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus” — just the kind of stuff agricultural products need.
The professors hope their “pee-cycling” will get people talking. And if you don’t think it will, urine for a surprise.
The Mexican Pizza is returning to Taco Bell — May 19th. And if you a Taco Bell Loyalty member, you get it two days early. So even fast food has its VIP culture. Wow.
Speaking of culture (maybe?), you apparently will get to see a TikTok musical about this beloved menu item that will star both Dolly Parton and Doja Cat.
How? Why?
It all started when Doja Cat wrote a “contractually” obligated jingle about the Mexican Pizza leaving the menu. From there, it spiraled into one of those ironic, viral moments. And Taco Bell has decided to embrace the satire.
In a full send moment, future Rock N Roll Hall Of Famer Dolly Parton will be joining in. Read more about this ridiculous project here, if you so desire. And remember, you can go green & recycle those Taco Bell sauce packets now.

One of the judges pointed to the fact that baldness is more prevalent among men than women, making it a form of prejudice.

This week in STREETS, it’s the age-old question submitted by one of our listeners:
Is she the Jerk for this? Her child’s father wants to be in their lives again…
Joice Figueiró was given permission from her doctor to attend a Metallica show last week with her husband. She was very pregnant, 39 weeks, but didn’t want to miss her favorite band. During “Enter Sandman” her son decided to enter the world. They called the medical team over and she had the baby lying down in the handicapped area. She and her son were taken the hospital and the baby is happy and healthy. She’s not going to name him “Sandman.”
