Relationship Court: Should we stop being intimate in front of our children?
If you thought it was bad seeing mommy kiss Santa Claus, imagine how horrific it must be to see mommy going to town on daddy. Please help these listeners out who can’t seem to control their urges in front of their children.
When should you stop having “relations” in front of your child? The conversation lives on Facebook!
Bridezilla strikes again!
A woman went to a bridal salon to get her deposit of $500 back and the store refused to return it for some reason. Instead of trying to speak to the owner or a manager, she dealt with it in her own way. The soon-to-be bride was so irritated that she snapped and started cutting brand new dresses in the salon with scissors while the store clerk was filming her telling her how much the dresses cost. After several minutes of meltdown, the woman put down her weapon of dress destruction and left. In total, she cause about $11,000 worth of damage. That’s a lot more than $500 if I did my math right. Isn’t getting married FUN?!
“Crazy Train” just got adorable. Watch this kitty sing along!
This kitty was spot on! I just love that fact that it’s singing into a microphone; most cats won’t do anything you want them to. What a good cat, the Princess of Darkness.
But please let’s not forget about this one that sounds like David Draiman…
The SNL reboot of Urkel nails it!
The Fresh Prince has a real reboot on Peacock that’s dramatic. SNL ran with that idea and created a “new version” of Family Matters and the best character in it- Urkel. I never knew Steve could be such a badass. Check it out.
Winter got you stuffed up? Here’s an easy fix!
Winter got you stuffed up? Most people get congested this time of year. Here are some quick ways from Dr. Mandell to clear that nasal passage in seconds using this technique, watch! It “opens up the eustachian tubes, increases sinus drainage, and opens the nasal passages in seconds” -whatever that means. It works though, try it.
Man jumps in THIS to get his phone
People pay WAY too much for phones, so when you lose it, you’re willing to do anything get it back immediately. Like reach into a toilet? What if you dropped it in a sewer like this guy… Hold your stomach if you already ate breakfast this morning! I love the person trying to help yelling, “I’ll call it again!” This man deserves a medal for jumping in something nasty like that!
Granny covers “What’s My Age Again,” challenges Travis Barker to drum-off
Dorothea Taylor, the “Godmother Of Drumming,” has taken on one of blink-182’s most famous songs — and has done so very well, as you can see below.
The 70-something year old has taken on other bands you know — but this cover is a little different. Mostly because she issued a challenge to Travis Barker:
“You’re never too old, and you’re never too young, to start playing drums,” Dorothea continues in the video. “You probably never would have expected someone like me to play along to blink. I’ve learned my rudiments over the years and was able to incorporate and understand what Travis was playing. So, Travis Barker, are you watching? How about a drum battle?!”
— Dorothea Taylor
Well, Travis? We’re waiting!

Cannabis brings the green to Illinois — $388M in 2021 tax revenue
Illinois collected nearly $388 million in taxes on recreational cannabis sales in the state, according to the Marijuana Policy Project.

Teenager hacks Teslas: dozens of cars were under his control, allegedly
A 19 year old hacker and security research says he was able to control features of dozens of Tesla vehicles because of a security vulnerability in a third-party software, according to a report by Vice.
While critical functions like steering, braking, and acceleration could not be accessed — the teen says he could still unlock doors, take drivers on trips, and blast music.
Tesla did not respond when asked for comment by Vice. And the hacker claims he’s been working with the third-party app to fix their flaws.
Bands breaking world records
According to Loudwire some of our favorite bands are out here breaking world records including:
Twenty One Pilots . . . They are the first musical artist to certify at least RIAA Gold for every track on two consecutive albums, “Vessel” (2013) and “Blurryface” (2015).
Thirty Seconds to Mars . . . In 2011 they completed the longest tour by a rock band for a total of 309 dates.
OK Go . . . They became the first to shoot a music video on a reduced-gravity aircraft. It was for “Upside Down & Inside Out”.
Shinedown . . . They have most #1 hits on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart . . . 16 total.
Pearl Jam . . . They have the most live tracks released in one week. Last year they put out a digital archive called “Deep” that has 5,404 live songs compiled over a span of 14 years of touring.
Paramore . . . In the music video for “Ain’t It Fun”, they set 10 world records, including the most feathers caught in 30 seconds, longest time spinning a vinyl record on a finger, and the fastest time to run backward holding stuffed animals while blindfolded for 30 feet.
Setting 10 world records in a video was also a world record in itself. That’s 11 in less than 4 minutes…pretty cool. <3 Lauren
Couples that fall together, stay together
Sometimes you can’t say “I love you” by simply saying “I love you”. You need to bust your ass and nearly split your head open together. That is the true sign of love.
Dillion, the team mascot for the Portland Pickles, got them kicked off Twitter
Fans of the Portland Pickles baseball team were shocked after checking out their Twitter and seeing some snaps from the mascot takeover. Dillion, the Dill pickle, is the team’s mascot and took some pics then posted them to the team’s official Twitter page. It started out innocent enough. Now scroll down. He was “trying to give a thumbs up.”

Two women committed the cutest felony ever
Everyone knows glitter is the herpes of the arts and craft world. Just try cleaning up glitter, I dare you. I have glitter in my purse from a party a decade ago. It’s so annoying. Two women got into a fight with a man in Florida. In the early hours of the morning, they broke into the man’s house, then threw containers of glitter at him. Yes, glitter was the weapon of choice and yes, they did get a felony.
