How to socially disarm someone, and make them feel more comfortable

Apparently, when you face someone head on, like in a Zoom call for instance, it can make them nervous. Your stance is what might be doing it. If you turn your body slightly to the side, specifically your shoulders, you suddenly become more engaging or less of a threat to someone.

Does she belong to the streets?

What happens in the Xbox Live chatroom should stay in the Xbox Live chat room, right? Unfortunately, this relationship has moved beyond the chatrooms and into the real life universe. The bad news is that it could mean that she belongs to the streets.

A game show contestant gets confused and has this hilarious answer… watch!

“In his epic poems, Homer, often refers to nectar as the drink of the gods and which other substance as their food?”

Now, the question doesn’t start off with, ‘on the tv show the Simpsons’ it starts off with ‘in his epic poems’- that’s a huge hint! At least a hint to know he’s not talking about a cartoon from the 90’s! I understand though, you get nervous when you’re up there trying to be smart under pressure. To be honest, I don’t think most people know that answer off the top of their head. The best though is the host’s face. His reaction is genuine shock when the guy says, “donut.” At least, AT LEAST, he realized halfway through that he was WAY OFF. Still, I love watching this amazing moment in time.

The best-paying occupation in each state…

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics, personal finance site HowMuch made this map to show which professions make the most in each state. Illinois is Pediatrician at a solid $206,000 a year. Not bad! The average of the most people make is $200k per year and only four states or territories fall below this number. Basically, be a doctor, lawyer, or an executive and you should be raking in that cash!

Girl busts her man looking at other chicks on IG in a really slick way…

Hopefully you don’t feel like your significant other is shady, then you shouldn’t be doing this trick. But this girl probably had a reason to wonder what her man was doing when she couldn’t see. And low and behold, she was right. A woman’s intuition is never wrong! I’m not saying try this, but I’m not saying don’t do it either! And do we feel bad for the guy? Yeah, me neither. Since when do ‘cars’ have boobs?!

Find out how this 34-year-old penny pincher went to prison for 12 years!

When the FBI raided Lori Ann Talen’s home they found fake coupons in every where totaling over a million bucks. She defrauded over $31.8 million from stores. Talens made the coupons then was paid over $400,000 by subscribers to her “service” and sent them out. She was able to create any type of coupon for any store or product and make it for whatever value. Her fake company was called “MasterChef” to throw people off. She had some for $24.99 off a $25 box of diapers. People were walking out the store with those diapers for a cent. The profits were used to pay for vacations, lavish dinners, a new kitchen, sunroom and in-ground swimming pool! And now she can’t use it because she’s going to prison. Don’t break the law… or if you do, don’t make so obvious. Kidding.

Use this iPhone hack before letting others use your phone!

Most of us have an iPhone and most of us will openly admit we don’t use half of the features on it. But this iPhone hack is all about “guided access.” If you hand someone your phone to use quickly for whatever reason, this trick will prevent them from scrolling through your photos. It makes it possible so that they can only see on photo, nice! So your mom or kids can’t see what you’ve been up to- watch and learn my friend!

A father shot his son because he wouldn’t stop playing his guitar

Everyone is fine, which makes this story hilarious. A 79-year-old man blasted his 50-year-old son “in the side” because he wouldn’t stop jamming out. The 911 call he made is the best thing you’ll hear all day.

We need to know what song this guy was playing that justified him getting shot. What song do you think it was? The conversation lives on Facebook!

Whose Karen Is It?

As we approach the spookiest day of the year, let this be a reminder that Karen’s are the most evil spirit of them all. They lurk in your neighborhood and they make Halloween a truly horrific experience for everyone involved. Let’s flash back to this Karen that we exposed last year.

Remember, you are better than this.

A woman tried testing her blind date with 23 members of her family…

A man went on a blind date with a woman after his mom got worried about his dating life. She set him up with a woman she deemed worthy. Before the date, he and his blind date agreed that he would pay for everything. What a gentleman! I bet it’s going to be a magical evening shared by two lovely people. Unfortunately for him, that’s not how this ends up. This lady, wanted to “test” her future life partner’s generosity, and invited 23 members of her family to dinner! TWENTY THREE. I don’t even have that many family members in any given city that would be able to come to dinner. Are these people starving? The last thing I want on a date is my family; I’m trying to impress the guy! The poor dude slowly realized what was going on, and knew he wasn’t going to be able to pay for everything. Yes, he agreed to pay… for her and himself, not half the town. And shame on her for trying to scam this guy. “Test his generosity” more like take advantage of a someone one you’ve never met before. In any event, he sneakily got up to go to the bathroom and hightailed it out of there. The bill was over three grand, obviously! I say, good for him! And no more blind dates set up by mommy!

A girl took an edible for the first time and THIS happened, watch!

She tried to google how to get “unhigh.” I’d make fun of her but we’ve al been there before. Those dang edibles. You have to be SUPER careful when you try them. I remember my first time. I ate an entire raspberry bar and thought the cops were going to bust in any room I went into and arrest me. In my head, I had two options, scream from the anxiety at the top of my lungs, or fall asleep. Terrible, terrible evening. Don’t do drugs kids!

Ryan Reynolds hilariously describes how you feel when you have a baby.

At least he’s honest! I’m sure there would be better options for a human shield than Blake Lively. But if you’re in a tough spot… I guess? Most people would say the same thing about their kids, or are you still supposed to love your spouse more? It’s sort of a chicken or the egg question… who comes first? Your Wife/hubby or your kids? I feel a family therapy session coming on.

Chicago Theatre celebrates its 100th Anniversary!

The six story high sign and glowing marquee is a favorite photo spot for tourists, but the theatre was actually added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. Later in 1983, it was listed as a Chicago landmark. The Chicago Theatre opened in 1921 as a dazzling movie palace that was part of the Balaban & Katz theater empire. Live orchestras would perform while silent films were being shown. A true gem of this city!

An “uncle” fell in love with a young girl on today’s Relationship Court

A listener emailed us this story about a middle-aged man falling in love with a family friend’s young daughter. As the story goes, “A college friend has long been an “uncle” to our two children. He has been there for school events, milestones, vacations, etc. Our daughter went away to college this year, to a town about 45 minutes from this friend’s house. He volunteered to look out for her, take her off campus for movies, send her mail, and drive her to and from our house for various events. The other day, our almost-50-year-old friend admitted that, for the past five months, he has been “falling in love” with our barely 19-year-old daughter. He says this is not OK and that he’s been trying to prevent the feelings, though he has not reduced his interactions with her.”

As for the parents, they explained, “He asked my husband and I not to tell her so their relationship wouldn’t become awkward. We’re floored. We told him we’d have to tell her, and he’d have to cease all contact with her. I feel intensely angry, betrayed, and suspicious. We haven’t told our daughter yet because we want to do it face-to-face after her finals have ended. What do we do going forward? How can we ever trust him again? Should we? Do we tell our son? Mutual friends?”

This is why your dad is a b*tch

If your man isn’t grinding away at the office every day, then this nine-year-old girl would like to have a word with him. She heard that men are providers and protectors and she ran with it. Listen to what she had to say.

It’s nothing personal, you just need to get your ass out of the house.
