It could soon be illegal to release “a large amount of balloons” outside in Illinois. House Bill 418 is looking to create a $500 fine for balloons that are released at birthday parties, weddings, and other social gatherings. The bill would act as an amendment in the current Environmental Protection Act, but it does raise a few questions, mainly what is a large amount of balloons and how would they enforce this?

A video from a North Carolina dash cam just surfaced of an SUV narrowly escaping its untimely demise. This is absolutely terrifying.

This video came onto our radar and we were horrified by what we saw. Do you know what we want from our flight crew? We want them to focus on LANDING THE PLANE. We can throw our hands in the air like we just don’t care once all four wheels touch down at our desired location. We’re also still in the midst of a pandemic. Maybe just put on your mask, sit down, and pray for the best.

It’s probably been a minute since you’ve thought about Guitar Hero, and that’s okay. All you need to know is that there’s still a small community that is still super into this game and one man just perfectly executed a song far more difficult than “Through the Fire and Flames”. Look at this insane display of finger-tapping.

Good news for Blue Line commuters! State of the art new train cars have been installed and are being tested and implemented through 2022. On the outside you’ll notice a bright blue front and bigger glass panels on the sidecars. On the inside you’ll be greeted with easier to read digital boards, better spacing to fit more people, and other bells and whistles. Sounds pretty cool! Do you think this will get you to choo-choo-choose to take the L more? SEE WHAT I DID THERE?
Faster trains have arrived on the Blue Line: Here’s a look at the CTA’s new 7000-series train cars. https://t.co/FgcZv0gs4n pic.twitter.com/j32IQ9f1Bs

WKQX’s “Bonnaroo 2021” Contest
Official Rules
A complete copy of these rules can be obtained at the offices of radio station WKQX-FM (“Station”), owned and operated by Chicago FM Radio Assets, LLC, located at 455 N. Cityfront Plaza Drive, Suite 1700, Chicago, IL 60611, during available business hours Monday through Friday, Station website www.101wkqx.com, or by sending a self-addressed, stamped envelope to the above address.
The Station will conduct the WKQX’s “Bonnaroo 2021” Contest (the “Contest”) substantially as described in these rules, and by participating, each participant agrees as follows:
Eligibility. This Contest is open only to legal U.S. residents, excluding dual Florida and New York residents, age eighteen (18) years or older at the time of entry with a valid Social Security number and who reside in the Station’s Designated Market Area (“DMA”) as defined by Nielsen Audio, who have not won a prize from the Station in the last ten (10) days or a prize valued at $500 or more in the last thirty (30) days, and whose immediate family members or household members have not won a prize from the Station in the last thirty (30) days or a prize valued at $500 or more in the sixty (60) days. Void where prohibited by law. Employees of Chicago FM Radio Assets, LLC, Station, each of their parent company, affiliates, related entities and subsidiaries, promotional sponsors, prize providers, advertising agencies, other radio stations serving the Station’s DMA, and the immediate family members and household members of all such employees are not eligible to participate. The term “immediate family members” includes spouses, parents and step-parents, siblings and step-siblings, and children and stepchildren. The term “household members” refers to people who share the same residence at least three (3) months out of the year. The Contest is subject to all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations. Participation constitutes entrant’s full and unconditional agreement to these Official Rules and Station’s decisions, which are final and binding in all matters related to the Contest. Winning a prize is contingent upon fulfilling all requirements set forth herein.
Listen to the Station weekdays which “The KQX Morning Crew” is on the air during the Contest Period. When the Station plays the “cue-to-call” sounder and which designated number in order (e.g., ninth caller) will be the caller who will win, listeners must call the Station at 312-591-8300. The designated caller to the Station, as determined by the Station in its sole discretion, will be a potential winner. If the Station does not receive the designated number of entries within ten (10) minutes after each cue-to-call, then the Station will randomly choose a caller from all valid entries during that timeframe to be the winner of the prize. Time Delay Between Over-the-Air Analog Signal and Internet Broadcast: Due to the time delay that exists between the Station’s analog over-the-air signal and the Station’s online webcast, listeners who listen to the Station online may hear the cue to call later than listeners listening to the Station’s analog over-the-air signal. As a result, the odds of an online listener entering this Contest on-air may be diminished.
If any prize or a portion of any prize is temporarily postponed or permanently cancelled due to disease, epidemic, pandemic, quarantine, any acts of government and/or any reason that is beyond the control of Station or Chicago FM Radio Assets, LLC (“Sponsor”), then no substitution shall be provided. Station and Sponsor make no representation or warranty about the safety of any prize event. By accepting and using a prize, each winner acknowledges and assumes all risks of accepting the prize, attending the prize event, and any other the risks associated with the prize.
There is no substitution, transfer, or cash equivalent for prizes, except that the Station may, at its sole discretion and to the extent permitted by law, substitute prizes of comparable value or cash. The prizes are expressly limited to the item(s) listed above and do not include taxes, gratuities or any other expenses. Any tickets and/or gift certificates/cards awarded as part of a prize will be subject to the terms and conditions set forth by the issuer and are valid only on the date(s) printed on the tickets or gift certificates/cards. Other restrictions may apply.
CONTEST SPONSORS: Chicago FM Radio Assets, LLC, 455 N. Cityfront Plaza Drive, Suite 1700, Chicago, IL 60611.
PRIZE PROVIDER: Thunderdog Entertainment, LLC on behalf of and as an agent for Axis Nation, LLC, 1645 E. 6th Street, Suite 150, Austin, TX, 78702.

Someone crunched the data and found out the top 10 things in our home we rarely clean. I’m at about 5/10 here… and pretty sure I have never once in my life cleaned my keys…
1. Your keys.
2. Remote controls.
3. Your keyboard.
4. Your mouse.
5. Your phone.
6. Light switches.
7. Door handles.
8. Video game controllers.
9. The doors and handles of your cupboards.
10. Railings or banisters on your stairs.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have some scrubbing to do… <3 Lauren

To keep with the theme of 4/20 from earlier this week, a listener sent in a question about the behavior her husband exhibits around her kids. This is what she had to say.
What do you think about this? Should parents be smoking weed around their kids? Let us know over on our Facebook page!
Yes, take your layups while you can get them. But we ask this question because one woman posted a video of a baby raccoon crawling around in her bed and we have no issue labelling this as “gross”. Raccoons are no good. Very dirty, very gross animal that should not be crawling around in anyone’s bed, just like my ex-husband…

Lululemon has a new initiative in which they will accept returns on “gently used” sports bras and yoga pants. Our hangup is not on the world “gently”, but on the idea that these items are being used at all. According to the brand’s press release, the trade-ins will be ‘cleaned using state-of-the-art technology’ and then be made available for other customers to buy back at discount in June as part of its sustainability efforts.

Anyone involved in youth athletics has had at least one coach that took things a little too far. Either they berated you for no reason, they seemed like they were there for them more than they were for you, or simply because they were a mean person, coaches have plagued youth sports since the first child hit a ball off of a tee. Listen to this coach.

I know some of you could care less about this list, but we couldn’t care less about that because “could care less” is factually incorrect. Some phrases have been engrained in our DNA for so long that we have forgotten the actual pronunciation of them. Take these for example:
The latter is correct, as leadway isn’t actually a word.
Coffee shops must deal with people trying to order an expresso all the time. There’s no such drink. The drink you’re trying to order is an espresso.
Regardless means without regard. Throwing on “IR” to the beginning makes the word a double negative. I think we can all agree that “without without regard” doesn’t make sense.
An expansive list of commonly mispronounced phrases can be found here.

After being shut down eight months ago due to COVID, Navy Pier will be back open to the public on April 30. The Pier will still be requiring masks and social distancing, a small price to pay if it means opening up one of Chicago’s most beautiful landmarks.
To mark the reopening, the pier will stage a 10-minute fireworks show every Saturday in May, at 9 p.m., until the Memorial Day weekend.

This could be the worst Karen we’ve ever seen because this is the worst type of person there is. We were truly aghast when this popped up in our feed. We know Brian can be cheap, but even he’s a great tipper. This Karen, not so much.
