A man in Austria was doing his business early in the morning when a five-foot python slithered through the drains and bit him on his backside. The python belonged to a neighbor, which somehow makes all of this worse. The bite victim, a 65-year-old man, noted that he “felt a ‘nip’ in the genital area” after plopping down on the toilet.
The victim sustained only minor injuries, police said. Those injuries being a BITE TO THE GENITAL AREA. Sounds pretty major to us!
This is the first of many tough rejections this man will face in his entire life. Prayers up to our little homie.
He needs to use this as a teachable moment. No more public engagements. Next time you pop the question, do it in a secluded forest. No Ring doorbells, no smartphones, and no jumbotrons. Do this in the most discreet way possible in the future.
Roselle, this is your chance to legalize it! Residents can sound off on whether to allow recreational marijuana sales in their community at a public hearing Tuesday at the Roselle Village Hall. Per Fox 32, “Residents were asked should the village allow retail stores to sell cannabis to adults and whether the town should allow the “craft, growing, infusion, cultivation, processing and transportation of that cannabis,” within state guidelines.
The public hearing at the village hall Tuesday at 7 p.m. will give residents another chance to weigh in and start the conversation about the conditions for opening a business. Security measures, hours of operation and buffer requirements for the site are all details that would still need to work out.
A new CPS policy that was passed in December will be enacted next month. This will put both condoms and menstrual products in nearly all schools going forward for CPS. According to the Chicago Sun Times, “schools that teach fifth grade and up must maintain a condom availability program as part of an expanded vision of sexual health education. That means all but a dozen, which enroll only younger grades, of the more than 600 CPS schools will have condoms.”
It’s tremendous that CPS is offering menstrual products to those that need it, but what about condoms in schools? In a statement by CPS, they noted, “CPS stresses that choosing to not have sex is the norm for 5th graders. Parents/guardians should be notified by their school if a condom demonstration will be provided.”
A couple of years ago, the World Health Organization classified “workplace burnout” as a legitimate health issue a year after a professor at Stanford suggested over 150,000 Americans die on a yearly basis as a result of the “work” aspect of the “work-life balance” outweighing the latter to a fatal degree. There is now a growing push to change the American work week to a four-day week in an effort to curb work-related stress and health issues.
A new Icelandic study that took place over four years tracked 2,500 workers who worked for 35-36 hours a week. productivity remained the same or improved for the majority of workplaces, the study said. Participants worked at various places such as hospitals, offices, playschools and social service offices.
Des Plaines, you were warned. This Karen hates your fireworks and she’s going to let you know about it.
Dad move of the year. We have to respect the commitment to catching the ball, baby, and beer all in the same play.
Oh, brother. One of our listeners got himself into a sticky situation with the girl he’s been seeing and his cousin. Take a look at what he has to say.
Give this man some advice, Lord knows he needs it. Sound off on Facebook!
Two men in Virginia spread their seed all over their community by robbing a connivence store with melons over their noggins.
One of these men, a 20-year-old, was arrested shortly after and charged with wearing a mask in public while committing larceny as well as stealing alcohol while underage. Police are losing their rinds trying to find the other suspect.
If Karen’s thought they had it bad, they might want to check with what Alexa’s have going on in their world right now. There is a growing movement of parents wanting to rename the smart speaker’s assistant AI after a number of bullying incidents related to children named Alexa. Parents in the UK told BBC, “She started to not want to introduce herself because of the jokes and the backlash,” in regards to their daughter named Alexa.
Other parents have also expressed wanting Amazon to change the name of its speaker. Massachusetts-based Lauren Johnson started a campaign called “Alexa is a Human,” noting in a letter to Amazon that her daughter, is “constantly bullied at school and camp because her name is Alexa.”
There is no better way to honor this great country than to wake up your neighbors in the middle of the night by pretending to be a firework. This man totally gets it.
We double dog dare someone to give this a shot in their neighborhood tonight. We’re sure your neighbors will think it’s very funny and not troublesome.

Don’t talk to me until I’ve had my liver recovery fuel. Researches say that coffee can reduce liver damage that’s associated with overindulging in food and alcohol. The study found that regular indulgences of coffee can drastically reduce the chances of cirrhosis.
More information on the study can be found here.

Sarah Rodriguez is from Naperville — and she demolished 24 hot dogs in 10 minutes to take second in the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest — a staple of the Independence Day Weekend. Because what else screams ‘MURICA! like competitive eating? 🇺🇸
Turns out Sarah is part of dynamic duo — her husband, who also is a competitive eater. NBC Chicago covers them here.
Congratulations, Sarah!

Whenever I open my bank account after a paycheck deposit or two, it’s fun to think about all the ways I could frivolously spend it — even though most of that cash is earmarked for the mortgage, car payment, bills, savings, etc. Oh, well…..
What would you do if you found $50 BILLION one morning?
A couple in Louisiana screen found this gargantuan pile of moolah in their account one day — and like good upstanding citizens, they immediately informed their bank of the error (which was resolved FOUR DAYS later — could you imagine just staring at that much wealth in your account?!?)
For those of you who might say it was the bank’s error, too bad so sad — it turns out that if it isn’t yours, you have to give it back. — [eric]

Mayor Lori Lightfoot dropped the news on the city Friday — there will indeed be a 4th of July fireworks display on the lakefront.
Ever since Navy Pier said they were cancelling for the second year in a row, we thought the city would step — and did they ever. They say the display will be a “high-altitude show” — meaning fireworks will blow up much higher in the air. You should have a good vantage point anywhere from Grand Ave. down to 55th St.
Saturday night. 9:30PM. Crank up the alt playlist and enjoy! — [eric]
