Weber Grills sent their e-mail database a tasty meatloaf recipe on Thursday morning.

Unfortunately for them, it was also the day that we found out the singer of the same name had passed away.

Oops.

The Palatine-based company apologized for the gaff: “At the time we shared this recipe with you, we were not aware of the unfortunate passing of American singer and actor Mr. Marvin Lee Aday, also known as Meat Loaf. We want to express our deepest apologies for this oversight and for any offense this email may have caused.”

News reporter gets hit by a car live on the air

Reporter Tori Yorgey was live on the air talking about effects of severe weather when a from out of nowhere, a car HIT HER. First things first, she’s OK. I’m just shocked she was able to keep her cool on the air. I definitely would’ve let out some choice phrases for the driver of that vehicle. She said, she ‘already got hit by a car in college,’ so all good everybody!! She’s a pro.

Flashback to 1989, seniors were asked how their year was going…

Things were REAL different in 1989 and here’s the solid proof. A bunch of high school seniors were asked how their year was going and these are their answers. In the words of Bowling for Soup-

“Where’s the mini-skirt made of snakeskin?
And who’s the other guy that’s singin’ in Van Halen?
When did reality become TV?
What ever happened to sitcoms, game shows?

Am I the Jerk?

Picky eaters are no fun, picky eaters ruin meals for everyone. That’s what this weeks “Am I the Jerk” is about.

Is he the jerk? The conversation lives on Facebook!

Does he belong to the streets?

It’s a tale as old as time, but that doesn’t mean it’s any less heartbreaking. A listener reached out to us after her man was caught on a dating app.

Does her boyfriend belong to the streets? The conversation lives on Facebook!

Never ask an Elk, “You wanna go bud?” You will lose.

If you mess with the elk, you’re gonna get the antlers. I think that’s how the saying goes… That’s what happened to this driver after he slowed down and asked an Elk if he wanted to “go.” The answer, Elk ALWAYS want to go, so don’t ask! Watch him get his tire destroyed for messing with Mother Nature.

One the hottest selling items on Amazon right now is-

Do you love meat so much that you want it all over your body Lady Gaga style? Well you’re in luck. Amazon now has an Oscar Mayer face mask! So you can spa day at home!

Treat yourself right with a meat face mask… that actually contains no meat- it just smells like it.

Ever ‘forgot’ to ring something up at the self-checkout? They know…

If you’ve ever ‘accidentally’ gotten an extra orange at the self-checkout or got the cheaper price by entering in the non-organic version of something, you better stop right now. The store clerks at Walmart can see your purchase on their devices. They can see how much everything is so far, they can even freeze it, walk over and pretend like there’s a problem with your machine if they think that you’re stealing. So next time you want to make your bill lower by forgetting to scan something… don’t do it my friend!
