Did Nirvana play an Illinois college town in 1989?

November 7, 2021 | Eric

There is no bigger badge of honor amongst music fans to be able to say — “I saw them before they were big.”

This may be one of biggest badges of all, if true.

A local music fan and historian from downstate Carbondale has researched whether or not Nirvana played this college town on July 4th, 1989 — and has presented his findings in a podcast.

Nirvana famously performed in Chicago in September of 1989 — so not sure if the timing lines up. But check out their evidence and decide for yourself if it truly happened.

Watch this skydivers’ plane stall and fall past them in freefall!

November 5, 2021 | jnettlebeck

Some skydivers in South Africa jumped out of a plane, then suddenly the plane stalled out and started free-falling at 16,000 feet. You won’t believe this! Once the 8 jumpers leave the plane, they realize what’s going on, but they still managed to do their formation. The plane was able to pull out of the nosedive and landed safely, but just barely!

When the husband comes early, and you don’t have a lot of options…

November 5, 2021 | jnettlebeck

This is 3:30 minutes of absolute on the edge of your seat drama! A wife gets caught cheating. Her boy toy is seen hanging from the window for a good minute until he dropped down. The only reason the husband found him is because she was dumb enough to throw his socks down to him. He doesn’t need his socks lady! He could’ve bought new ones! You ruined it! Regardless, you need to watch until the end. It’s a very terrible situation to be in, but you have to giggle a little bit.

Amazon driver understood the assignment and hid wife’s packages so husband didn’t find them.

Ok I really didn’t expect it to happen again 🤣 this one’s for the guys- he came to hide the package too! #hideandseek #amazon #amazondrivers #mvp

♬ The Assignment – Tay Money

How does he know how to hide them? The doormat reads- “Please hid the packages from my husband.” Soooo, the clever delivery driver hides them just enough so that the wife can still find them but the husband won’t know. This woman is a genius! And of course, her delivery driver understood the assignment.

November 5, 2021 | jnettlebeck

YouTube star MrBeast pledged to recreate Squid Games but without the horrific parts if he reached a goal of 10 million likes on his video, and he did it! Now he’s almost done with construction of his ‘safe games,’ and he picked people from his TikTok to play with him next week!

The winner will take home $456,000. Not too shabby! And look at his attention to detail in the photos- not bad. This whole stunt will be his biggest one yet and cost him close to $2 million. Let the games begin!

Is this husband a jerk?

November 4, 2021 | jnettlebeck

True love means sharing your lives with someone. Unfortunately, that means also sharing a bed with them. We had a listener reach out to us because her husband’s bedroom behavior is out of control.

Does she belong to the streets?

A comedian shows us the difference between British nature docs and American ones

November 4, 2021 | jnettlebeck

“This leaf has ‘no chill'”

This comedian perfectly picked apart the difference between a British nature documentary and one from ‘Merica. There are zero similarities other than the fact that they’re both talking about nature. All of the fake ads at the end really drive home his point. This right here is genius. Watch and laugh!

Are these hyped products worth your extra dollars?

November 4, 2021 | jnettlebeck

It’s that time of the season that we start shopping like crazy for gifts. And for ourselves! Get those Black Friday deals! But are some of the things we buy worth the money? Reddit asked the question, are some of these products that are hyped up worth the extra dough that we throw down? You decide! But I bet you have some of these things on the list…

Edible Arrangements– we’ve all had to purchase this at least on the company card, but do people actually eat all of the fruit?

Anything marked up as ‘all-natural’ – ‘organic’ should just mean it might be healthier, slightly, but you’re paying more

Yeti– You basically told everyone you have hundred of extra dollars to keep your stuff cool. I know this one is making a lot of people angry so let’s move on…

Starbucks– does this need an explanation?

Beats By Dre– yeah, they look nice, but at some point, like the $200 mark, headphones are the same!

check the full list and see what else you’ve paid too much for-

November 4, 2021 | jnettlebeck

Brandy O’Reilly of Fort Wayne, was floored when her grandma said that she wanted her first tattoo at 82 years young. Jude, was inspired after reading to live each day to her fullest. 15 days later she’s getting inked. Her granddaughter Brandy documented her journey.

Jude is now known as #tatgranny on TikTok. There were four generations of the family also getting matching tattoos with her that day. Even the 10-year-old grandson got a little bit of sharpie to feel like he was a part of it. Here she is getting her musical note with heart tattooed on her arm. The one of a kind design represents some of those in the family they have lost but are still remembered. What an inspiration! It’s never too late to do what you want to do! Thank you #tatgranny!!!

Watch this guy steal candy and get instant karma

November 4, 2021 | jnettlebeck

If you steal a giant bowl on candy on Halloween, you need to expect that there might be some repercussions. At least this time the universe took care of this guy immediately. Don’t steal candy! Even if no one is around and you think you can get away with it- god sees it! Watch this guy tumble again and again.

OMG! This girl got DE-NIED in a very public way

November 4, 2021 | jnettlebeck

This girl just wanted a little peck! Maybe she was just drunk, maybe she was just feeling the wrong vibe but she got denied in a big public way. But props to this guy for keeping his roster open. I like how both of them look away and pretend like absolutely nothing happened after that.

How did you screw up at work?

November 3, 2021 | jnettlebeck

Give a man a fish, and he will have fish for a day. Teach a man how to fish, and he will have fish for a lifetime. Stock a pond full of fish and you yourself will become one. This video of a man getting swept into a pond while restocking it has us dying.

All tattoos are not created equal- and these people can attest to that…

November 3, 2021 | jnettlebeck

If you want a trendy tattoo, don’t do it. Sure it looks cool now, but it WILL go out of style. Also, when considering a tattoo don’t get someone’s initials. That’s step one, right? Here are some bad ones, and some tips from artists themselves…

Lip tattoos hurt, and again, stop with the initials. They didn’t last by the way.

Artists also warn against really thin lines like this one. It doesn’t look good and the ink will eventually spread out.
