Why You Should Already Be Worrying About “The Next Generation”
Thanks to a social researcher, we now know that the generation after Gen Z will be titled Generation Alpha and will consist of children born from 2010-2024. After watching this video, you’ll see why we’re already concerned.
@overtimeThis is what it’s all about, right? 😭 #fail #funny #kids #shoutoutot♬ original sound – Overtime
This video is shocking on a number of levels, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the grown, adult couple that casually walked by this child viciously whacking himself in the head. They clearly saw that and did nothing. At least pull at your camera like our brave videographer did.
Anyways, Gen Z’s time on this planet has been filled with emotional trauma. Gen Alpha is going to be full of brain trauma.
Car Tears Up Jackson Park Golf Course!
Jackson Park went full-Grand Theft Auto over the weekend. A driver went wild and took a turn onto the golf course, dodging pedestrians and tearing up the course along the way. This is a situation that seems like a dream come true for the driver and a nightmare for anyone looking to, you know, golf.

Chicago Sports Team Brought Home a Championship This Weekend!
You’ll forever remember where you were when you found out that the Chicago Steel captured the Clark Cup over the weekend. They knocked off the Fargo Force to win the USHL (minor league hockey) title over the weekend. This marks a two year run of dominance for the Steel, who had a killer 2019 season that was cut short due to COVID-19.
White Sox, we’re looking at you now. Bring home a title for us!

WHAT ARE THE ODDS?!
My photog John & I were covering a stolen dog story in Cambridge when all of a sudden we spot THE DOG!!!

Butt Implant Sales Have Soared in the Last Year
The pandemic has given people time to reflect and think about how they’d like to change themselves in a post-pandemic world. For some people, they challenged themselves to do an act of kindness a day. For others, they wanted butt implants. According to The American Society of Plastic Surgeons, butt implant sales went up 22% last year, beating out breast and hair implants.
On a related note, if anyone knows a butt surgeon for Brian, Ali, & Justin (mainly for Brian & Justin) please let us know.
How Did You Torture Your Younger Sibling?
Change is happening all around us, but one thing remains the same: younger siblings are always going to get the worst possible outcome. In this case, it was an unholy posterization that will send shivers down the spine of every basketball fan.

Did You Know Your iPhone Is Doing This Every Five Seconds?
Despite being glued to our devices on a daily basis, there’s still so much that we’re unaware of when it comes to the power of the cellphone. For those that have an iPhone specifically with Face ID turned on, you might not be aware just how precise and accurate the Face ID is. Give this a look:
Do you feel like this is an invasion of privacy or have you resigned to the fact that we’ve sold every shred of privacy we have to our technological overlords? The conversation lives on Facebook!

11-Year-Old Badass Fights Off Kidnapper in Broad Daylight
In Pensacola, Florida, an 11-year-old girl fought off a predator with her incredible reflexes and self-defense skills. It’s bad enough stooping low enough to attempt to kidnap a child, but then to fail in doing so? He’s the worst of the worst. Weak-minded and weak in the body. This man is pathetic. Shame this man.
More information on children’s self-defense can be found here.
