That time Eddie Vedder snuck in to Wrigley Field

Eddie Vedder, lead singer of the greatest band in the history of ever, and massive Cubs fan did something that each and every one of us have at least thought about while passing the Friendly Confines after having 2 too many pops at our favorite Wrigleyville bar. He snuck in to Wrigley and took batting practice! According to Eddie, he and Theo Epstein got a little hammy’d after the Cubs won the 2016 NLCS and snuck back in to Wrigley in the wee hours of the night to take some batting practice. The best part?  As they sat in the outfield around 4 in the morning, they could still hear people partying on their roofs, celebrating the victory.  HOW COOL WOULD THAT BE????

Read more about what could be the coolest night of all time HERE, and of course make sure you check out the PJ/Cubs documentary “Pearl Jam: Lets Play Two”

Would You Sleep Here?

The cockpit from the Millennium Falcon has been transformed into a hotel pod from hell. Seriously, why are influencers into things that look like they make life more difficult? First the tiny home trend ruined our Explore Page, now this.

Would you sleep here or is this a little too spooky for you? We won’t judge. Let us know on Facebook what you think.

Couples That Do THIS Together, Stay Together

You’re probably expecting a link to couples counseling when you opened this article. Maybe you thought it was going to be a step-by-step guide to conflict resolution or a fun, sporty couples workout program. WRONG. Couples that swipe together, stay together.

Would you do this with your partner? Let us know why or why not in our Facebook comments!

Would You Eat This ‘Froot Loops’ Pizza?

Society almost crumbled in the midst of the pineapple on pizza debate. We might have to rebuild from ashes once this story takes off. A restaurant in Iowa has decided to test the bandwidth of our sanity with an interesting looking Fruit Loops pizza.

Would you eat this? Not for any money, not for pride, but because it looks good. We need to hear from you one way or another. Tell us why this pizza is whack or why it’s a snack over on our Facebook page.

This Delivery Driver is Out of Control

We’ve heard a lot of stories about people being pissed off about the way their packages are treated, but this is the first time we’ve seen packages pissed on. A delivery driver in Rhode Island is under investigation for urinating all over someone’s packages. The incident just happened to be picked up on their Ring doorbell.

Do you have a bad delivery driver story? Hit us up on Facebook if you do. It’s bad enough we have to deal with porch pirates. You’d think we could trust our delivery drivers to not pee on our packages, but in 2021 that is a tall task.

Tree Falls On Band in the Middle of Their Set

When the world said said no live music or concerts, the world meant it. While it appears that this was a socially distanced gig outside, it didn’t stop mother nature from interfering with a tree branch of justice. Look at how close this comes to going horribly, horribly wrong.

We’re all so close to being able to go back to enjoying live music. When you return to your first gig, maybe make a mental note to look out for trees, though.

KINGS OF LEON: Get Into Cryptocurrency

They’re going to sell special versions of their new album When You See Yourself as an NFT — that’s a non-fungible token, which instead of holding money can hold art, tickets or music. It’s the first time a band has sold an album in this form.

This NFT will be sold for $50 through YellowHeart for two weeks only starting Friday. The token includes a special digital album cover, a digital download of the music and limited-edition vinyl.

Rolling Stone reports that the band will also offer up two other types of tokens — one that offers live show perks like front-row seats for life and the other just for exclusive audiovisual art.

When You See Yourself will be out Friday through non-cryptocurrency retailers too.

De La Vie Day Spa is a local oasis of luxury and relaxation. Located in Lakeview East, you can treat yourself or someone special to one of the many treatments offered. If a little pampering can go a long way, just think of what a full treatment can do. Get a facial while your nails dry then finish off with a body treatment. De La Vie was hit extremely hard by the restrictions on spa and salon services since they cannot as easily sell products and their service rely on close proximity. SO PLEASE HELP local business and get pampered at the same time.  – Tim Virgin

Relationship Court: Not This Guy Again

Oh no, he’s back. Our penny-pinching, bro-dude from Tuesday got in contact with us again. Here’s what he had to say.

You know what to do, folks. You either think this man is a genius or you think he’s a pig. Either way, let me know what you think on our Facebook page.

Here’s How to Get a Great Deal on a Couch

Furniture shopping is the worst. You have to find a couch, plunk down a bunch of money on it, and then comes the worst part – the delivery charge. This man found a great way around that.

He said he’s been doing this for six years. Six years! That’s dedication when it comes to finding a great deal on a couch. We salute our thrifty king.

Check Out These Gangster Pigeons

Sometimes you wake up with a horse head in your bed, other times you push a rival bird in front of a train. Gang wars and real and these pigeons are the worst offenders. We can only imagine they were arguing over some littered food and who’s territory it fell into. That’s when the aggressors began pushing their rival directly into the line of the train.


This is, for lack of a better term, STRAIGHT SAVAGE. Be on the lookout for gangster pigeons next time you head to the train. You could be next.

Casual Sex is on the Decline, Video Games Are Not

Young men are drinking less and gaming more which is leading to a steep decline in young adult’s having sex. This information comes from a study that that compiled data from 2007-2017, which means that these are pre-pandemic numbers. We would have to imagine the numbers have dropped even more sense the start of 2020. These numbers came out at the same time as a study that showed an alarming decrease in brith rate in this country, meaning women are having less casual sex than they used to was well.

So I guess what we want to know is…is this true for you? Brag a little bit. Head on over to our Facebook and let us know if your life has differed from the results in this study.

Porn Plays During High School Zoom Class

A high school in Florida is under fire after students reported that part of a porn video was eligible on screen during a required course. To make matters worse, the students were in a mental health-related course when the incident happened. No one wants to see videos like this unprompted and no child should have to see things that graphic that they don’t want to.

For better or worse, this is an issue that students are going to remember for the rest of their life. What’s a notable incident that happened in your high school? Hit us up on Facebook and let us know.
