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!
Antonio Brown has a full on nuclear meltdown during the game!
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.
Forget ‘Good Morning Queen,’ it’s all about ‘Good Morning Grandma’
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!!!

Just shy of her 100th birthday, comedy icon and beloved actress Betty White has passed
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

NFL icon John Madden passes away at age 85
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.

Twenty One Pilots go stop motion for their Xmas song
Rolling Stone just named this to their Top 20 worst Christmas songs (ouch)….but I’m sure Twenty One Pilots ignores the haters. Check out the stop-motion animation video they put together for their holiday tune “Christmas Saves The Year,” now a year old.
Tyler and Josh also appear to be ready to release a video for their song “The Outside” in early 2022. Here’s the duo performing the song in Mexico from just a few weeks ago….a nice little digital snack while you wait for the main course.

Billy Corgan performs Christmas classic with daughter
Last weekend, Billy Corgan debuted two original Christmas songs and played a familiar favorite.
It was all a part of the annual Christmas show at Madame Zuzu’s in Highland Park, which was a little more somber than usual this year — Billy’s dad, William Sr., had passed away the day before of a heart attack. But the Smashing Pumpkins frontman used the appearance as a way to pay tribute to his father, a blues guitarist.
Check out a classic Billy played with his youngest daughter — and two additional originals below. —- [eric]
Claymation Saves The Year
Song released this time last year now has a very, very cool animated video!
Why not McBurn while you eat your McMuffin?
There’s a McDonald’s in China that lets you burn your calories from the food while eating… the food. Can’t we just enjoy the gloriousness of McDonald’s and not have to worry about the impending fat? Their food is meant to be enjoyed, in large quantities! Just let us think about how god the food is while we’re inhaling it, and not what area of the body the fat is going to go to- this bike gets a big ‘no’ from me dog.
Watch this guy blow up his Tesla!
This Tesla owner threw in the towel after his car continued to not work and after not getting a lot of help from the company, he decided to take measures into his own hands… he blew that piece of garbage up! With 30 kg of dynamite and some help from a few friends, he made his piece of crap car truly become what it was, a warm pile pile of smoking… metal. Enjoy, because it’s fun to watch stuff blow up! America!!
Someone needs to tell Gordon Ramsay about ketchup on hot dogs
The man that brought you “Hell’s Kitchen” and “Kitchen Nightmares” just opened a restaurant where Walhburger’s used to be- Mr Gordon Ramsay. It’s aptly named, Gordon Ramsay Burger. He’s got 35 other places around the world, and now he’s got one here. Hooray! Right? His butter burger is to die for, but that’s not the question here. Did anyone do research on the city of Chicago before adding the three different “hot dawgs” to the menu?! They all include the same ingredient that many people consider sacrilege- ketchup. Yes. Whether or not you personally believe that ketchup should come near a dog that is of the hot variety, they could have at least offered some without it. Just sayin’ Gordon… maybe add another ‘dawg’ to the menu, call it, ‘the garden’ but what do I know?
A guy surprised his NBA dancer girlfriend with the best proposal EVER!
When Utah Jazz dancer Danielle Bush was on the court dancing, she got confused when the rest of her squad started dancing to different music than they had rehearsed. It was Bruno Mars “Marry You.” She tried to keep moving but had no idea what was going on until she turned and saw her boyfriend Brandon smiling. That sly guy orchestrated the whole thing! He got down on one knee, and of course she said ‘YES!’ I’m sorry guys, you just can’t top this. I’m gonna grab a tissue; it’s so dusty in here!
Hot mic! Guess what a Bears fan got caught saying live…
The Bears did not have the proudest showing in their game against the Vikes last night. They lost by eight points with a lot of questionable calls from the refs leaving fans asking if this is a collision sport or a contact sport… In any event, there is no question that fans, are not fans of 43-year-old head coach Matt Nagy. During the live broadcast, after Nagy pulled out a challenge flag, you can hear a this golden nugget of audio from a Bears fan from the stands.
“After further review, we suck!”
The BEST Blueberry Muffin recipe, from Ali’s kitchen
Alright, I’m not gonna pretend like I’m Rachel Ray in the kitchen. But every once in a while I’ll find an old recipe from when I was kid to try to tackle for myself as an adult. This one for Blueberry muffins is pretty stellar, but most importantly- EASY. I don’t like to get too intricate in the kitchen- keep it simple baby! This is courtesy of my aunt who used to be a food editor. She claims this is the best.
Ali’s Blueberry Muffins
2 C Flour
2 teaspoons Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/2 C Butter
1 1/4 C Sugar
2 Eggs
1/2 C Milk
2 C Blueberries, or more if you want! (if they’re frozen, don’t let them thaw out- gets too watery)
2 Teaspoons Sugar (before you put them in the oven on the tops!)
Cream butter and sugar together. Butter should be room temp- don’t put it in the microwave, it’s a bad move. Then add the eggs. The add the flour, salt and baking soda. Then add the milk, once that’s mixed in, gently fold in the blueberries (frozen or fresh). Put those bad boys in a muffin pan with cute little cups, then sprinkle sugar on the top. Bake at 375 for 22-27 min. 22 Should be perfect though!
