Tickets from Abby: A father’s gift to Twenty-One Pilots fans from his daughter that passed away.

October 18, 2021 | jnettlebeck

A father named Daniel reached out to Brian, Ali, and Justin and asked to honor his daughter Abby by giving away her tickets to Twenty-One Pilots at the United Center last Saturday. Abby passed away last June in an untimely manner; her life was taken suddenly in a car accident. A true tragedy, as she had her whole life ahead of her. She planned to attend Iowa state to major in graphic design and childhood psychology. She wanted to help people.

Abby actually got free tickets to a Twenty-One Pilots show years back when someone asked for the ‘best fan story.’ To her surprise, Abby won them and took her little sister, who also became a giant fan of the band. It seemed only right that Daniel do the same with her tickets. She would have wanted it that way. He reached out on Twitter and we were able to speak with him on the air about Abby and her story. Daniel was calm and collected when talking about his daughter that departed too young, something that a parent should never have to do. After, we found a couple to take the tickets and they happily honored her in their own way at the show. Here are their pics and special shirts they made to her…

Thank you to Daniel for sharing her story and tickets and thank you to Luana and Jayden for honoring Abby at the show.

Daniel also got a tattoo on his arm for Abby…

“Kids to day will never know…” fill in the blank, and you KNOW Twitter did!

October 18, 2021 | jnettlebeck

The struggle is real trying to explain to the younger generation what it was like without cell phones. We used pagers back in my day, and even then it seemed silly! But there’s a ton of things that the younger generation don’t fully understand, here are some tweets that describe exactly what it was like…

These are all SPOT. ON. Read more here-

This SNL “Celeb School Game Show” has everything, but we’re here for Pete Davidson and Rami Malek impersonating each other

October 18, 2021 | jnettlebeck

Watch Pete Davidson impersonate Rami Malek, and Rami does Pete perfectly back. It has to be like looking in a mirror for one another. But hearing Pete Davidson talk about “Pete Davidson” is pretty meta. And having Rami make fun of eyes is also spot on- enjoy!

It also brings me back to when Jimmy Fallon and Paul McCartney had their voice boxes switched…

Tinder attacks “problem” — finding you a date for weddings

October 17, 2021 | Eric

It used to be an okay thing to show up solo to weddings. (And frankly, I’ve had someone of the best times of my life being single at nuptials.) But somewhere along the way this became a source of shame and embarrassment, apparently?

Enter Tinder.

They are introducing a new feature called Plus One — which allows you to find and/or put yourself available to be someone’s date to the ceremony/reception. Among other things that Gizmodo lists as pitfalls for this idea, the one I agree with most is — why the hell would you want to bring a perfect stranger to an event like that?

Do you think this is a good idea? Is your answer — “I do?”

Arlington Heights student gets revenge on his entire school district with one prank

October 15, 2021 | jnettlebeck

We get the feeling that anyone with this level of technological prowess has probably had a pretty rough time in high school. Nerds might rule the world, but it takes a period of time for the football players to get fat and for the nerds to accumulate wealth before they gain that power. This high school hacker didn’t waste any time getting his revenge on the school district, as he beautifully pranked all of them with his hacking skills.

We salute you, hacker. Nothing beats a vintage Rick Rolling.

Twenty-One Pilots TOOK OVER the Aragon Ballroom last night

October 15, 2021 | jnettlebeck

Rarely are three people with such big mouths left speechless, but it is impossible to put into words the impact that Twenty-One Pilots had on us last night. They continuously raise the bar when it comes to their jaw-dropping and mind-blowing live shows. Somehow, they lived up to our lofty expectations that we had after seeing them in this same building two years ago for The Nights We Stole Christmas. When it comes to tøp, they just don’t miss.

The show’s epic, two-hour setlist can be found here.

Send us all of your photos from this week’s takeover on Facebook!

Please tell me this worked on you! I need to know that I’m not the only one- also, how in the world did he do this?! Is it because most dessert’s end in the letter ‘E’? Is it because most people can only think of Elephant for an animal with the letter ‘E’? Tell me your secrets magic man!

This woman is hunting for a man that will give her twins…

October 15, 2021 | jnettlebeck

She’s looking for a candidate to get her pregnant with twins. You need a clean natural diet, meditate every day, healed family trauma, deep sense of connection with the Devine, need to have viable DNA, and 8,000 other things. ALL GENDERS WELCOME- she says. Send a pic too. Wow.

No one give her a kid, for God’s sake!

Does this man belong to the streets?

October 14, 2021 | jnettlebeck

Nothing good can come out of going to a wedding without your partner. Also, nothing good happens in Michigan (face it, this is true). As a result, this man is seemingly up to no good.

Should she take this man out with the trash or is he justified with his actions? The conversation lives on Facebook!

Is this turkey-buying-bandit a jerk?

October 14, 2021 | jnettlebeck

Thanksgiving is right around the corner…but it’s not here just yet. That didn’t stop this grocery store fiend from stocking up on all the good stuff a month and a half early.

Sound off on whether or not this person is a jerk, the conversation lives on Facebook!

Gerard Way and Dave Chappelle share an unlikely bond over mental health

October 14, 2021 | jnettlebeck

Gerard Way, frontman of My Chemical Romance, would not be taking the stage at Riot Fest 2022 without the guidance of Dave Chappelle. Way opened up on My Turning Point podcast about his life about the dissolution of My Chemical Romance, noting, “So Dave Chappelle, post ‘Chappelle’s Show,’ he had gone away, which I really related to, by the way. When it had felt time to kind of end My Chemical Romance, I found his situation, although very different from mine, obviously, to be very relatable, being in this kind of machine that had gotten super big and felt a bit out of control, and then kind of not wanting to do it anymore for mental health reasons.”

Outside of a handful of solo projects, Way spent nearly a decade out of the spotlight before calling on his loyal Killjoys to assemble at the end of 2019. During that duration, Way recentered his mental health and has bettered himself in his time away from the spotlight.

Whether he wants the spotlight or not, Way is the voice of a movement. Despite constantly being thrust into the spotlight, both Way and Chappelle are reminders that you can never achieve what you’re destined to if you don’t put your mental health first.
