New year, new illness. Introducing FLURONA which is dual infections of COVID-19 and influenza. A pregnant woman in Israel just contracted the first case, luckily mild cases of both and is expected to make a full recovery.
4 days into 2022 and we’ve got FLURONA. What’s next? Tweet me: @laurenoneil
A judge has dismissed the lawsuit filed by the grown baby that was photographed for hte cover of the Nevermind album due to the fact that the plaintiff, Spencer Elden, failed to respond to Nirvana’s motion to dismss the case. I guess you could say Elden finally realized how silly this lawsuit was and said, oh well, whatever <lowers glasses> nevermind <car explosion!>
Nothing fixes a relationship like a baby, right? Right?? This listener wanted to remain anonymous but she is in desperate need of help to fix her relationship.
What should she do? The conversation lives on Facebook!
The new 15 iOS update lets you SharePlay during FaceTime so others can see your screen. It’s designed to let people do more together virtually, like watch a show. You can even use other apps like TikTok, Showtime, or share a music playlist. More and more apps are becoming available to share. Just simply open an app while you’re on FaceTime then a prompt will ask you if you want to share your screen with the caller. Just be careful what you share! You never know what you might accidentally have open!
What shape is larger on top and slim everywhere else. It’s not Pear or Apple… it’s Airpod-shaped! Think about it, when was the last time you even saw a lady that was “hourglass” shaped. Exactly. It’s outdated, and not a lot of people are shaped like that nowadays either. This description fits pretty well I think!
A mom turned influencer wanted to give her husband something for the holidays that he would never forget. She secretly paid off all of his student loans. She wrapped up a pair of shoes that said “debt free” because she wanted him walking around like that in the future. She recorded her conversation of her paying off his loan and played it for him as he had tears in his eyes. Mom of the year!
This TV ad for AT&T is crazy because they nailed it, in 1993. How did they predict the future like this?! The idea of reading a book, “from thousands of miles away” or using “navigation” to cross the country instead asking for directions or using a map. They did mention sending someone a fax from the beach, but we will chalk that up to an “email.” What’s crazy is they’ve been working on all of the technology we have today for a long time. People have had these ideas about what the future would look like and now it’s reality. Yeah, some things are slightly different, but they got most of it right. I wonder what they’re working on now, or maybe we don’t want to know!
At the Seattle Kraken’s inaugural game, a fan sitting behind the bench noticed something about the equipment manager for the Canucks. Something was on Brian Hamilton’s neck. Fan Nadia Popovici pointed out to him that something might be wrong and that he should get it check out. He visited the doctor in October and found out that it was a cancerous growth but it was a blessing that he caught it early. He finally got the chance to say thank you to her and a fund of o$10,000 has been set up to go towards Nadia’s medical training.
Christmas is a time to get together with loved ones, celebrate life as it’s meant to be lived, and remember the ones that unfortunately have already met their maker. This is the best way to remember a fallen grandma.
We hope we made you proud, grammy.
Kids are so wise. This youngin’ has more advice than your average adult pastor. He’s a little Dalai Lama! In case if you needed a little inspirational boost rolling into 2022, listen to this child, ‘you can do anything you want to!’ That reminds me, I need to take singing lessons.
The city of Chicago and Cook County will require proof of COVID-19 vaccine starting today at indoor venues, and Secretary of State offices will be closed until the 18th due to a rise in infections. Everyone ages 5 and older will need to provide proof of vaccination at places like bars, restaurants, gyms, and other indoor venues like sporting events, or entertainment. The rules do not apply to those inside for less than 10 minutes, for example, if you’re picking up takeout. The move is due to a recent surge in cases across the country and in Chicago. Illinois is seeing it’s highest levels on record. Gov. Pritzker is urging hospitals in the state to delay elective surgeries to keep hospital beds open.
A family was enjoying their Xmas celebration when from out of nowhere, a Karen appeared ready to strike! She notified them… IN THEIR OWN HOUSE, that it was 9 minutes past 11pm and that was past her curfew… that she set… for other people… at their house. Glad she broke in to communicate that point. The family did what any Karen fighters would do, they quickly told her to get the heck out. She scurried away back into her dwelling, but beware, there are always Karens lurking!
Buc’s coach Bruce Arians has already said he is no longer a Buccaneer, shocker. Brown was suspended in December for three games without pay following a league investigation that determined he violated Covid-19 protocols.
This grandson really knows how to surprise his grandma. He somehow surprises her every single time he walks into the room and it is pure gold! Her scream is priceless! AAAGGGHHH!!!

I was just reading an article on Betty White and her secret to a happy life at 100. She said she was born a cock-eyed optimist and always finds the positive. I am trying to do that with the news of her passing. I have memories of watching her as Rose in the Golden Girls with my mother from a young age, she always had such impeccable comedic timing and a warmthness that made you feel like she would reach out of the tv and give you a big hug. We are better people because we had her. Rest in peace to a master of her craft, the absolute best of the best. We will always love you Betty. <3 Lauren
“‘Even though Betty was about to be 100, I thought she would live forever,’ her agent and close friend Jeff Witjas tells PEOPLE in a statement on Friday. ‘I will miss her terribly and so will the animal world that she loved so much. I don’t think Betty ever feared passing because she always wanted to be with her most beloved husband Allen Ludden. She believed she would be with him again.'” — PEOPLE
The perfect playlist for New Year’s Eve is virtually impossible, but if you follow these instructions below you will be ringing on 2022 like the legend you are.
Legendary coach, broadcaster, and video game spokesman John Madden passed away on December 28 at his home in Pleasanton. Madden is without a doubt one of the single most influential non-athletes on American sports, revolutionizing the way the game is called from the broadcast booth, teaching generations about football psychology with his Madden NFL video game series, and introducing the infamous Turducken to households across America.
Madden is survived by his wife Virginia and two sons, Joseph and Michael.
WKQX sends our condolences to the entire Madden family.
