A crypto-buying hamster is outperforming the S&P 500 stock index
A hamster is randomly buying cryptocurrency — and is doing better than the most well-known index on the stock market.
Mr. Goxx — a livestreamed, social media savvy rodent — has been randomly buying and selling crypto since June, using a wheel to select the currency and one of two “decision tunnels” to determine whether or not he buys or sells. According to Business Insider, he has been outperforming the S&P 500 with a 24% return on investment. NPR claims that he’s even doing better investing than Warren Buffett.

Red Hot Chili Peppers announce world tour with hilarious video
The Red Hot Chili Peppers are back! They announced a massive world tour starting next summer with this hilarious video. Seriously, if you like Anchorman, RHCP, either, or both, check this out!
These gorillas had a “mouth party” at the Bronx Zoo!
This video is so dirty that the powers that be at WKQX have demanded that we don’t post it to our website. We like you, though, and we want you to get in on this action, so we are providing you with a direct link to this hot, gorilla-on-gorilla action.
Enjoy, from your friends Brian, Ali, & Justin.

Bill Gates gives an insane answer when pressed about his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein
Not even Bill Gates can keep his cool when he’s being pressured by America’s sweetheart, Judy Woodruff. Listen to Gates give an utterly bizarre, and admittedly terrifying answer, when the topic of Epstein came up during a recent PBS interview.
Anyways, nothing to see here…
‘Nevermind’ Turns 30
What words are there left to say about Nirvana’s ‘Nevermind’?
30 years on, it remains a beacon of alternative music. Music was creatively all-but-dead. Hair bands plagued the country both on TV and on the radio. There was a growing underground movement spearheaded by bands like The Cure and R.E.M., but the definitive big bang, the undeniable before & after, took place on September 24, 1991.
As Brian from the KQX Morning Crew explained, “Right around this time I was cranking “Poundcake from Van Halen’s 1991 CD For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge so loud the subwoofer was rattling the license plate off in the car I was riding in. And like many people at this time had no idea what was about to happen. What happened was I heard that sound. You know. The first notes off Kurt Cobain’s 1965 Fender Jaguar guitar. BAH-NAH-NAT. You know it. That one second changed everything. Just those first notes of Smells Like Teen Spirit took me into outer space, in my head. I remember thinking “I’ve never heard anything that sounds like this before”. As the song progressed it got so heavy, then soft. And trippy. And Kurt’s voice spoke RIGHT to me like one of my burn out friends. “Load up on guns. bring your friends. It’s fun to lose and to pretend”. I thought WHOAAAAA WHO IS THIS GUY?!! It felt so real. His voice was ratty. Like he’d been partying all night. I honestly didn’t want to like it. And I think it took 10 listens to convince myself that I actually liked it. Then I saw the video on MTV and that was like BAM. Forget about it. But I have to say once I got the CD, it was Breed that I’d crank in the car more. It set the tone for what was going to be the greatest decade of music”
I don’t need to explain how great the first half of the record is. Bands would kill for a song as good as Lithium. That’s merely a footnote on the path of destruction that is ‘Nevermind’. Teen Spirit, In Bloom, Come As You Are, Breed, and the aforementioned Lithium line the first half of the record, along with the downtrodden, emotionally crippling Polly. The second half is full of unfathomable deep cuts, songs that would’ve made great singles on any other record, like Drain You and Lounge Act.
By any metric, ‘Nevermind’ is one of the greatest records that has ever been pumped out of a studio. It’s as iconic, as influential, and as memorable as any aspiring rock star has dreamed of. It resonated with a young Ali, confined by the borders of Minnesota, who told me, “I had never heard anything like this before. It was one of the first albums that I listened to from front-to-back…I just couldn’t believe it.”
‘Nevermind’ is such a clear demarcation point in pop culture. It ushered in the irony – and agony – that filled the 1990’s. It’s a perfect record, and while we’re often filled with somberness in early April as we remember Kurt Cobain’s life, September should be a joyous celebration as we remember the impact that this record had.
You’ll never guess this secret to sticking with your exercise routine
Getting high before your workout might help you stick with it in the long run, get it? I’ll see myself out.
According to Josiah Hesse, a cannabis journalist who wrote ni his book “Runners High,” he said that people think working out needs to be uncomfortable, intense, or time consuming to really work. With Cannabis, you can get rid of those negative stereotypes about exercise and just do it baby. THC has a similar effect on bodies as a runner’s high and using cannabis properly may enhance the effects of working out. You’re also tapping into the body’s reward system with it. So next time you think you can’t go for that long run, try getting your own high first.

When did your parents realize they raised an idiot?
What is the Internet if not a giant group therapy session? People on the Internet are sharing moments when they realized that their parents had raised an idiot. Comments range from “After I told my kid that carrots help you see in the dark, he went into the basement with a carrot and started waving it around like a flashlight.” to “I found out my daughter thought the Sistine Chapel was the ‘Sixteen Chapel.’ She’s 21.”
When did your parents learn that they had failed in their ultimate mission? The conversation lives on Facebook!

Meat lovers rejoice!
Brighton Park man hates speed bump so much that he removes it himself
Not all heroes wear capes. Some of them simply have hammers. A man in Brighton Park was sick of a speed bump in his neighborhood damaging his car, so he took matters into his own hands and smashed up the speed bump in question, taking a few days to dismantle it all while hiding pieces in his garage during the process.
The man was hit with a $500 fine for “digging without a permit”, which absolutely sounds like a fake citation. Dig where you please, my man. You’re a hero!
