Perhaps you’ve been feeling abandoned since 2002 when Steve left Blues Clues. We wouldn’t blame you if this kickstarted the abandonment issues that you’re still dealing with today. The good news is that unlike your exes, Steve has come back. Listen to what he has to say.
So about that time Steve went off to college… #BluesClues25 pic.twitter.com/O8NOM2eRjy

Whatever it is you’re doing, it’s working!
I think this is when you realize you might have a problem.
A man went for a drink in Birmingham and ended up in THAILAND?! Bangkok to be exact. This is what happens when you don’t say no and just keep it going…

Tame Impala crushed last night at the United Center on the first stop of their US tour. From the opening trippy vignette to the transformation of the UC to a planetarium laser light show, Tame Impala proved once and for all they are worthy of arena headlining shows. Check out a few of my pics from the show below, and make sure you go see them if you ever get the chance. Seriously 10/10. -Manley
Join Brian, Ali, & Justin on Friday at the NBC Tower at 11:00am as we pay tribute to the lives lost on September 11, 2001. We will be dumping nearly 3,000 white rose petals into the Chicago River in honor of those that passed away 20 years ago on that fateful day.
Two men in Fort Meyers, FL were fed up with the road conditions in their neighborhood. Instead of waiting for the local government to take care of it, they took matters into their own hands and planted a tree. That’s right, a big banana tree right in the middle of the road! No more damage to their cars- just a half-assed roundabout. Yeah, I don’t know, FL logic. Unfortunately, now people have less room to swerve and miss the pothole next to the tree… ahhh crap!

He learned it from you Dad!!!
An Australian duck named Ripper has listened to humans his entire life, and thus has learned the beauty of the cuss words. The duck heard his handler’s way with choice words, and has picked up the phrase “you bloody fool.” Listen, and tell me this duck isn’t the ducking coolest!

We support wearing masks as much as the next guy, but this Chicago-based teacher took it to the extreme with one of his students.
Where is this Karen from? Sound off on Facebook!
Many of us, ahem, yours truly included, don’t mind sleeping in the buff. However, science says, probably not the best idea- here’s why my friend…
We disgusting humans let gas loose 15-25 times a day. And some of the time, you guessed it, you’re sleeping. Don’t let that nastiness get into your bed!!

Talk about taking a big L. This shoplifter was making a haul from the Nike Store when she locked herself out of her own car.

The KQX Media Research & Preservation team brought something to our attention recently. Not only did Steven Seagal have an energy drink, which is weird enough for us to be intrigued, but he made commercials for said drink. This commercial is deeply disturbing. We can’t tell if the first girl is his daughter or his lover, his reactions make us question if he’s ever acted before, and they linger on for so long.
If that wasn’t bad enough, here’s a few more:
What’s the worst commercial ever? The conversation lives on Facebook!
This video should startle you a little bit. Take a journey through a bugged Airbnb and see just how many hidden cameras there are and how hard they are to find if you don’t know what you’re looking for.
The phone plug with the camera lens sent shivers up our spines. Let’s face it, everyone here is a bit of an exhibitionist, but we’d like to consent to our exhibitions first!
A daughter put headphones in her dad’s ears and let him know that she’s cancer free. This is as good as it gets!

Now we just hope that dog is okay!
The hero story nobody knows! The Pineapple Express was an underground railroad in Afghanistan that helped thousands of people get to safety. The amount of bravery, heart and selflessness these invisible superhero’s showed is beyond anything I can comprehend. I hope this story blows up and becomes a movie, the world needs to know this amazing story. -Justin
A pair of women were shoplifting some of their favorite Nike gear, when they forgot rule number one… unlock the doors of the getaway car! Some might say this is Karma at it’s best, others might blame her getaway driver for ruining the plan. In any event, don’t shoplift… unless you’re certain the getaway car is an actual Ride or Die. Run girl, run!!

Lyndsey Gough was not meshing with the vibes that were all around after the Clemson football game over the weekend. Watch as she combats a bunch of drunken madmen who tried to get up in her business.
After the first guy touched me I started rolling… this isn't even all of it. So uncomfortable. Can we please respect people's space pic.twitter.com/1r0VQVoBoq

Diana in “none of your business”, the neighboring village of “Parts Unknown”, has checked in with us to get our input on a conversation that she’s been having with her husband. We’ll let her explain.
What do you think Diana should do? The conversation lives on Facebook!
Michael Jordan is known for being one of the best basketball players of all-time, one of the most infamous baseball players of all-time, and for being one of the biggest underwear connoisseurs we’ve ever seen. This dude loves the stuff. He’s constantly on TV talking about his Hanes underwear to anyone that will listen. Now, you can be like Mike and own a pair of his unmentionables.
It’s fine if you want to bid on these, assuming you’re okay with being put on some watch lists.
A new bill signed by Governor Pritzker will allow for students to take five excused absences for “mental health days” starting in January 2022. The stress and impact of the coronavirus is the prime motivator for this bill, with State Representative Barbara Hernandez noting, “Many students feel stressed and have developed anxiety and depression because they’re not able to see teachers and friends, and may have lower grades due to remote learning.” Mental health emergencies among school-aged children have skyrocketed since the start of the pandemic.
The National Suicide Prevention Hotline can be reached at 800-273-8255. More mental health resources can be found at NAMI Chicago.
Brian & Ali spent three days soaking up the Antigua sun last week in a once-in-a-lifetime trip. We saw plenty of pictures of those two living their best life on social media last week, smiling from ear-to-ear because they could file this away as a “work trip”. There’s one bit of footage from that trip that you haven’t seen yet, but the KQX Investigation Team has uncovered some must-see footage of Brian partying it up on the island.
Go get ’em, Brian!
