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!
5 Illinois cities ranked among the best 100 small cities in America
A new study ranked the 100 best cities to live in America, and 5 Illinois cities made the list! Congratulations if you live in Highland Park, Wheaton, Park Ridge, Elmhurst, and Glen Ellyn, you made the list and no longer have to tell people you’re “from Chicago.” The studio from WalletHub took in to account safety, local economy, affordability and more to come up with the list. Check it out below.
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?”
How would you go about this situation? The conversation lives on Facebook!
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.
Check out this rare footage of Chris Farley!
” I am divorced, and I live in a van down by the river.” Farley wrote the sketch originally with Bob Odenkirk, who can be seen in the video. It was taken from a performance at Second City. They both look so young! Enjoy the beginnings of one of the greatest SNL characters of all time. Rest in peace Chris.
Watch a spectator take out a cyclist moments before the finish line!
UGH! Just watching it is painful! Both spectator and racer were taken to the hospital. Moments before this woman tried to cross, another man had done so successfully. Maybe she thought it was safe? The cyclist is being treated for mild head injuries. The woman was airlifted to another hospital. The city is now investigating the event itself, wondering why a fan was able to get ON the road so close to the finish line.
Fast food hack, how to get a free burger!
Free cheeseburger!! It may not be exactly the way you’d think of getting a “free” cheeseburger, but you know what? It works! Hi-five to this guy for working the system at Five Guys. If you were on a date with him and he ordered a double with all of the extras, then split it in half, would you think that was romantic? Yeah, me neither.
An NBA Ball Boy threw some shade at Richard Jefferson, and got it right back!
An NBA Ball Boy wouldn’t stop talking trash about what huge, umm jerk, Richard Jefferson is, but Richard Jefferson saw it. He ignored it, several times. But now he’s setting the record straight. I highly doubt that ‘ball boy’ still wants that title after this story.
A man bought his girlfriend flowers, and she had this to say…
I hate to say it, but I can’t agree with what this woman is saying. She’s mad that they’re not in a vase with water and flower food. Who doesn’t have a vase? I have about half of what a human should have in their kitchen, but somehow I have a vessel to hold flowers. Can’t you just be happy that you have someone to buy you flowers lady? There’s a lot of women out there that would be very happy to get some, even if they’re not in a vase already! Unreal.
Sometimes the internet wins
Ali’s famiglia recipe for red sauce and meatballs.
I’m NOT a great cook, but I have a trick or two (ok, just one trick) up my sleeve when it comes to food, and that is the Mattacola family recipe for red sauce and meatballs. This will take you all day so get ready to get your hands dirty! Don’t worry, the ingredients don’t have to be fresh. I wish I could say there is some sort of “secret ingredient” but that would be a lie. If it seems like there’s a lot of sugar and wine, you’re right! MANGIA!
Meatballs:
2lbs ground beef
2 tablespoons parsley
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 clove of garlic (minced)
1 egg
1/2 cup bread crumbs with water added
1/3 cup pecorino Romano cheese
Fry meatballs in 1/2 inch of oil in a big stock pot. Put some sort of protective gear on your fingers- that oil pops! Flip those bad boys over one at a time after a few minutes. Hot tip- don’t let them burn.
Drain meatballs on paper towels. Mmm grease. This is when your house starts to smell REAL GOOD.
Empty oil into an empty jar, keep the drippings from the meatballs in the pot. (This is what gives the sauce it’s really good savory flavor).
Put pot back on stove on high heat and add 1/4 cup red wine and use a wisk to get the crud off of the bottom of the pan. (This important step is called deglazing and is the basis for most stews/soups/etc.).
Sauce:
2 large cans of tomato purée
2 cans of water ( I use the empty tomato purée cans to measure and add in the water)
2 tablespoons parsley
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon oregano
1/3-1/2 cup sugar
1-2 tablespoons salt
Pepper to taste
2-3 garlic cloves (minced)
4 bay leaves
Add meatballs back into sauce once all ingredients have been added.
Simmer for the afternoon, stirring occasionally on the lowest heat.
Bad Neighbors
If you’re in Elmwood Park, you better learn how to fix your own radio. One civilian asked for some neighborly assistance from someone nearby and Elmwood Park and as a result, he’s now without a car.
Dashboard? Gone. Steering wheel? Gone. Radio? Gone. This neighbor? BAD.
How much does a Hooter’s waitress make in tips?
She’s trying to pay medical school!!! No seriously, she’s going! This girl breaks down all things Hooters on her TikTok. The new uniforms, how they get their puppies so perky…. AND how much they actually make in tips. One guy gave her a $60 just for talking to him. Check it!
What Larry David would do as the NFL’s Commissioner…
Hey everyone! Larry David is here to solve football! As acting commissioner he would like to start by getting rid of goal posts. ‘Why should one player decide the game?! Just go forward on fourth down every time. You’re’ playing to score a touchdown.’ And then he’s gonna put punters on notice… he’s got a lot of ideas to unpack here.
An expert discusses faults of the movie Rust.
A lot of protocols were breached on the set of Rust when the firearm that Alec Baldwin was using “misfired.” A misfire is when the gun doesn’t go off, it’s an accidental discharge. Also, the very first rule on the set is, no live ammo. That rule was broken. Then, the cart with the weapons was not being attended fully at all times, also a huge problem. There’s several other missteps which is what led to the tragedy on the set.
They went into overtime, nine times. NINE TIMES?!
The game between Illinois and Penn State had a crazy ending as the game went to nine overtimes before Illinois won that sucker. The game went to overtime tied at 10 and Illinois and Penn State each scored field goals in the first two overtimes. Then starting in the third overtime, teams are required to exchange two point conversions. Neither team could score to save their life and it took all the way until the eighth overtime for each team to score. Then in the ninth overtime, Penn State got stopped on their try and Illinois converted, giving them a stunning 20-18 win over Penn State. The game is the first ever 8+ overtime game in college football history. WOW!!
Guys, there’s one easy way to get your girl back, watch and learn!
This is some trickery right here, but you have to hand it to the guy, it worked! With a little help from his “friends” in the neighborhood, Sam was able to convince his lady to get back together with him after five years. They started dating again, that day! So next time you want to get reunite with your old flame, just convince a few people to act like you’re the best thing ever. What a stud.
