The pandemic opened a lot of people up to the world of grocery store delivery options. Unfortunately, the wrong kind of people caught wind of this system. This week’s Karen certainly falls into that category.
Where is this Karen from? The conversation lives on Facebook!
They say childbirth is one of the most excruciating pains a human can deal with, but men don’t have to do it so how can they know? Now they can with this machine that gives contractions. Justin tried it on the show a while back and he was almost out cold from the pain. Watch this poor man immediately regret what he got himself into in this video.
Taking the perfect license photo is nearly impossible. You’re never ready, your hair is messed up, and it doesn’t look like you anyway! This man decided to fight the power of the DMV photographer. He shaved only half of his face and looks like two completely different people in his license photo! Maybe he’s the type of guy who goes back and forth between beard and no beard and wants to be ready for either situation. I always say a man with facial looks better- this photograph is proof.
This adorable toddler in Georgia has hair that will always be unruly. Doctors have called it ‘extremely uncombable hair syndrome.’ It’s only a a one in a million chance that you could get it and if you don’t have it already, then you’re probably just having a bad hair day, not a bad hair… life.
Here are some things that only 1% of people can do. For example, can you touch your tongue to your elbow? Try it right now. Didn’t think so. What about sticking out your tongue and having that touch the bottom of your nose? Moving your ears? Raising one eyebrow? Check out the video for others… if you can, you just might be in the 1%!
If you want to make your kiddos tough in this day and age you need to let them make their own mistakes and do dangerous things… but carefully! Like this little boy who is headbutting animals getting ready to be a football player, how cute?!
I Like Music, you like music! Here are just a few tunes I’m digging on this week that I think are worth your consideration.
Backseat Lovers- Kilby Girl. I saw these guys at the Vic the other day and they wrecked me in the best way possible. The crowd knew every word to every song. I think a big trend musically in 2022 will be authentic bands, and these guys fit the bill perfectly.
Sad Night Dynamite- Kill Shot. I still can’t stop listening to this band. They are amazing.
Rise Against- Give It All. I probably listen to this song once a week.
Dope Lemon- Hey You. Listening to this song will make you feel cooler than you really are.
Gang of Youths- All My Friends (LCD Soundsystem cover). Gang of Youths are a super underrated band, in my opinion, and this cover is 10/10 SO GOOD.

At the end of February, Michael Jordan’s Highland Park mansion will mark 10 years on the real estate market.
I was listening to a podcast from the guys at The Hustle — and boy, did they have an interesting idea for Chicago.
Once listed for as much as $29M, the custom-built 56,000 sq. ft. home currently sits on Zillow at half that price. Still no takers.
The first thing Sam and Shaan discuss on their Greatest Hits episode of the My First Million podcast — is having someone buy it and open it up as a museum. A Graceland, White House, or Monticello, if you will.
Brilliant.
No one wants to live in a home built for Mike, that’s obvious — but I’m sure people still want to be like Mike. They want to play hoops on his private court. They want to lay in his bed. They want to watch the 90s championships on his big screen.
So why not open up a museum dedicated to the former Chicago Bulls great? Brilliant idea, guys. — [eric]
It appears a blink-182 song has inspired a new app.
“What’s My Age Again” has a very simple function. It tells you how old you are. Which, may not be a problem now. But after the birthdays start stacking up, that number may not be top of mind.
You can also add in others, so you can quickly reference the age of children, pets, family members — whoever, really.
Currently, it available for iOS only. I wouldn’t hold my breath that this app will unseat TikTok as the most downloaded, but — now you know it exists. For whatever THAT is worth.
Eric Kristensen will never act his age. You can catch him on 101WKQX or on Twitter (@erickristensen).
Good Charlotte famously sang about the “Lifestyles Of The Rich & Famous,” but I don’t think Flea will be complaining if he gets anywhere close to the asking price of a L.A. home he just put on the market.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist is seeking $9.8 million for a seven-sided home of the future, nestled in the hills just north of the city. The Los Angeles Times snagged photos for us.
It’s the kind of home that looks like it was designed by the same person who landed the spaceship on Soldier Field. Ironically, it was built in the 1950s by an architect who wanted to provide a home for his secretary. (Nice boss.)
Flea and his wife now have a home in Beverly Hills — they stand to double their profit if they successfully sell this one.
By comparison — if you want to see an overly opulent home in Los Angeles that is listed for an obscene $295 million, continue here at your mental sanity’s own risk. (By the way, it’s listed as a “fixer upper.” 💀)
Eric Kristensen is both a marginally famous, regional personality on 101WKQX and the owner of a far more modest home in the northwest suburbs of Chicago. If you follow him on Instagram, you may occasionally see photos that are taken in said home.
It’s a catchy jam no matter what version you’re listening to- here’s Out Last Night covering “abcdefu.”
You can now purchase a Microsoft Xbox for $100… the mini fridge version I mean. It looks like the Xbox Series X and holds about a dozen sodas to keep cold in you gaming cave. Now you don’ have to get up and walk all the way to the kitchen when you’re playing Halo Infinite! The fridge itself features LEDs, and a charging port for god knows what. You can order it at Target for $100.
Some people have one word that haunts them, others have several words that always sound funny when they come out of their mouth. This adorable kid is trying to say Pinocchio and it’s the best thing you’ll hear all day. Pikachu? Maybe?
The man, the myth, the legend. Not only was he hilarious, this rare footage of Chris Farley running onto the ice at a hockey game, proves he was one of the greatest physical comedians of our time. Enjoy his own personal touch on the movie Flashdance… now on ice!
First they make more money, then have more friends, now this?! Their immune systems are stronger! Good-looking people really do have it all.
A study was done in Texas on 150 students in which they took their photos from the neck up with no makeup, and they also weren’t allowed to smile. Researchers then tested their blood to see how their immune systems were.
Then, 500 other participants rated how attractive the 150 students were. Guess what? The hottest ranking ones, also had the strongest immune systems.
Why did the hotties have better immunity?
We might be possibly preprogrammed to find mates with attractive features that signal good health like full lips, good skin, all that stuff. So we as humans can subconsciously tell if they’re healthy and would be good to mate with, i mean, be a good mate!

Olivier Rioux parents are 6’8″ and 6’2″. But Olivier is the tallest teen in the world at 7’5″! He’s 16 now, and is already perfecting his basketball skills at an academy in Florida. Watch for him in the NBA in a few years…
There is something about a man cooking that acts as a natural aphrodisiac. Which is why it doesn’t seem fair that in addition to his myriad of talents, Gavin Rossdale of Bush can cook also, and well enough to land a tv show doing it. According to Deadspin: he will “host intimate conversation series E.A.T. With Gavin Rossdale, which will see the musician invite celebrities to his home in the Hollywood Hills where he will design, prepare and serve them a three course meal.” Coming to a network near you. I mean, I already knew he could brew a good cup of tea (watch our Studio 7 session below) so I’m all in. <3 Lauren
