Life is a precious thing. We cherish it, yet sometimes we take things for granted. A recent study showed that some of people’s biggest regrets by the end of their life are not living their dreams to the fullest, not sharing love, and not forgiving.
What is your biggest regret in life? Head on over to our Facebook page and let us know what you’ve had sitting in the back of your mind for far too long.
A year into the pandemic when our eyes were forced to look at screens more than ever before, 10% of Americans noted that they are now “constantly” online. According to a recent study, it’s people over the age of 30 that are fueling the digital addiction. 31% of adults in America are now online constantly with 48% checking in multiple times throughout the day.
How do you spend your time online? Shopping? Social media? Porn? Be honest, it’s a combination of the three. However you spend your time online, we want to know. Head on over to our Facebook and let us know!
Not since before The Great Recession has Chicago’s housing market been as hot as it is right now. Reportedly, there’s been an 18% increase in sales in the nine county metro area in January and February over the same months in 2020, as well as a 15% increase in the median sales price, from $235,000 to $270,000. It’s become a great market to sell in and a nearly impossible market for buyers.
Have you bought or sold your place recently? Tell us about that experience over on our Facebook page.
We’ve all pulled all-nighters before. Some of us have probably had the guts to go two full days without sleep. Comedian Chris Gethard once hosted his talk show after being awake for 36 hours. What happens to your body after not sleeping for nearly two weeks, though? One man was crazy enough to find out.
How long have you gone without sleep? Head on over to our Facebook page and let us know!

Does the outcome of your day hinge upon whether or not that giant ship is still stuck in the Suez Canal?
Don’t worry. The internet comes to your rescue again.
IsItStillStuck.com is a website that will give you a (relatively) instant update on the 200,000+ ton ship is blocking the man-made waterway that most quickly connects Asia to Europe — which has disrupted trade worldwide. One estimate says that this could cost $6-10 billion dollars in lost trade. If that’s true, 😮. — [eric]
Yes, the ship is still stuck. Follow along for live updates as crews scramble to free it: https://t.co/YBet9EbiHA

Just because two things taste good separately doesn’t mean they’re going to taste good together. But, um, maybe this won’t be bad?
Pepsi and Peeps just announced that they’ve teamed up to make a new soda for Easter. And it’s Pepsi . . . but with a Peeps marshmallow flavor added in.
It comes in a three-pack of cans that are yellow, pink, and blue.
The Peeps Pepsi won’t be going on sale in stores . . . if you want it, you’ll need to enter a contest on Twitter or Instagram.
You’re supposed to take a picture of yourself doing, quote, “your favorite springtime activities in a safe, socially distant manner” and then tag @Pepsi and use the hashtags #HangingWithMyPEEPS and #PepsiSweepstakes.
The entries are due next Wednesday. They’re going to give away a total of 3,170 three-packs according to the fine print, so you might have decent odds of winning one.

Weezer’s second album of 2021, Van Weezer, will be released on May 7.
Four more new albums and a movie musical are also in the works for 2021.
Did the major labels conspire to create gangsta rap? Is Andrew WK a marketing ploy? Is Kurt Cobain secretly running Weezer? This week’s History of Alternative podcast digs into urban legends.
Netflix reinvented TV . . . not just through streaming, but BINGING. They started the idea of releasing an entire season of a show at once, so you didn’t have to wait a week between each installment.
Well, now they’re experimenting with a more gradual roll-out.
Netflix announced that the second seasons of the unscripted shows “The Circle” and “Too Hot to Handle” will premiere in April and June, respectively.
When “The Circle” first premieres on April 14th, there will only be four episodes . . . with additional batches coming on April 21st, April 28th, and May 5th. “Too Hot to Handle” will follow a similar pattern, but the exact dates haven’t been announced.
(Maybe because it would be too hot to handle it all at once? HI-YO!)
In a blog post, Netflix said, quote, “We’re experimenting with the release format so you have time to dissect and dish on every step of the competition as it unfolds.”
(I’m not sure how much “dissecting” is necessary for reality shows, and Netflix didn’t hint at what they may be trying to accomplish. But it’s hard to believe that they’re actually moving away from binging altogether.)
“There are all kinds of shrimp. Fried shrimp, shrimp scampi, shrimp cocktail, diablo shrimp, cinnamon toast crunch shrimp…” -Bubba Gump, probably
Cinnamon Toast…..SHRIMP?!? At some point in your life its inevitable, you will find something gross in your food. But will it be as gross as what Jensen Karp found at the bottom of his box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch?
 
Ummmm @CTCSquares – why are there shrimp tails in my cereal? (This is not a bit) pic.twitter.com/tTjiAdrnVp
— Jensen Karp (@JensenKarp) March 22, 2021
GROSS, right? Actually….am I the only person who thinks that sounds sort of good? The answer is apparently no!
I regret to inform you that I have made Cinnamon Toast Crunch shrimp with charred pineapple habanero reduction. Sorry. I had to though, I really did. pic.twitter.com/JzYe7VMiBB

Every night at 9 pm we feature a song we hoe you will want to playlist. We call it New Music Now and this week we are having a listen to The Band Camino. Their new song 1 Last Cigarette is the jam! Take a listen below and be sure to tune in to have your voice heard every night at 9p this week for New Music Now.
Lava is pretty awesome! If you have been up on current affairs you know that Iceland is having some fun volcano eruptions.
Bjorn Steinbekk has the YouTube channel ‘A guy with a drone’ and he took his drone to the Fagradalsfjall volcano to film. The footage is amazing. These clips are very short. Just a few seconds each. But seeing an actual drone fly through an erupting volcano is simply mind-blowing. In the first clip, he flies through the erupting lava and in the second clip he goes ‘lava surfing’.
I could watch this all day.
Our Relationship Court this Tuesday is a very somber one. One of our listeners reached out to us and this is what they had to say:
This is obviously a horrible situation to be in. What advice do you have for our listener? Sound off over on our Facebook page.
First, some much needed advice for our stoner friends who are high on the job.

Double jointed freaks, this is your chance to shine. Every body is a temple and every temple houses deep, dark secrets. Luckily, a few brave souls expose themselves to the world for our viewing enjoyment. This woman, for example, has a very unique quirk.
