38% of Americans Would Give Up Sex for a Year for This Reason

As we quickly head towards one year in a pandemic, more and more Americans are starting to feel the itch to travel. So much so that according to a recent poll, 38% of Americans said that would give up sex for a year to travel immediately. Many of the polls participants said they would have no issue giving up their job if they were presented with a safe way of traveling right now. If the 38% seems high, it should also be noted that 40% of Brits were on board with this idea.

Come on, be honest: would you give it up for a year to travel peacefully? 365 days with no intimate physical touch but you can pack your bags this afternoon and leave tonight for wherever it is that your heart desires. Let us know on Facebook what you think.

Smash or Trash: Post Malone’s Hootie & the Blowfish Cover

Warning, we’re about to throw a lot of proper nouns at you: for the 25th anniversary of Pokemon, Post Malone decided to throw back the clock and cover Hootie and the Blowfish’s biggest hit, “Only Wanna Be With You”. Give it a listen.

Smash or trash? Are you feeling the vibes that Post is putting out there or does this belong in the garbage? Hit us up on Facebook and let us know what you think of this!

Farts Are Still Funny

In case you weren’t sure, farts are still funny. The pandemic has changed a lot of things, the world as we know it is always evolving, and Tom Brady won a Super Bowl with the Buccaneers. It’s a strange time, okay? We can all find solace in the fact that farts and the reactions they cause are still funny.

Some people might find this to be a mean video but that brother is just preparing his little sister for the rest of her life.

What’s Your Bad Roommate Story?

A new social media trend is highlighting the worst of humanity. Bad roommates are the worst because there’s truly no escaping them.

This NBA Player Has Never Heard an Irish Accent Before

Anthony Edwards, who was the first pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, is slowly starting to make a name for himself as a fearless player who will drive inside and take it to the rim with confidence. Thankfully he chose basketball over some global studies option because this man was dumbfounded by a reporter’s Irish accent recently.

The best part of this, without question, is the fact that the Irish reporter never skips a beat when he’s asked to repeat this question. Yep, okay, been here before and I’ll be here again. He just moves right along and goes back to saying what he had just said because Edwards was so taken aback by his accent.

What your favorite form of Peanut Butter … Crunchy or Creamy?

We only cover the MOST important news on our show.  Like this:  A new study found 35% of Americans eat peanut butter straight out of the jar.

Jif did a big survey for National Peanut Butter Lovers Day next Monday and asked a bunch of questions about the creamy-or-crunchy debate.  Here are five quick stats . . .

1.  Half of us prefer creamy, and half like crunchy.  So it’s an even split.

2.  A third of us are “extremely” passionate about that preference.  And 63% would rather have NO peanut butter than the kind they don’t like.

3.  People who prefer creamy are more likely to be judged for it.  Half of creamy fans have felt judged before, compared to a third of people who like crunchy.  And creamy fans are also more likely to PRETEND to like the other kind, just to fit in.

4.  People who like creamy peanut butter are more likely to describe themselves as early birds and introverts.  Crunchy fans are more likely to be night owls and extroverts, and slightly more likely to say they’re an optimist.

5.  Almost half of people in the survey said it would be a “deal-breaker” if the person they were dating was on the opposite side of the creamy/crunchy debate.  (So for some people, buying TWO jars of peanut butter is a bridge too far.)

Woman Takes Huge L After Calling Out Men

This is hard to watch. This woman makes a few very valid points for all of the wrong reasons. After ranting and raving at these strangers about how they need to stop following her, they reveal to the enraged woman that she has a gas pump hanging out the side of her car.

How did this happen? What is going on? Did she pull the whole damn thing off of the machine? We have so many questions and unfortunately no answers. We’ll have to take solace in this epic takedown instead.

What’s Your Bad Landlord Story?

Landlords: some of them leave you alone, some of them are awful. There’s no in-between. A landlord in Albany, New York falls into the latter category. After becoming frustrated with a pair of tenants who were protected by COVID-19 eviction restrictions, this landlord tied up the two individuals, threw them in the back of his truck, dropped them off at a nearby cemetery, and then drove off. Horror movie material.

This Twerking Nurse Kicks Ass…Literally!

For people that love twerking but hate creeps, this is the video for you. A nurse in Brazil was getting it on in the comfort and privacy of her own home and Creepy McGee came strolling by and invited himself into her home. Who thinks this is okay? Luckily the nurse did not, and she promptly beat him off of the property.

Reminder: You are not allowed to just waltz into someone else’s home, even if they are putting on a show like this woman was.

Natalie Bergman of Chicago’s Wild Belle is poised to release her solo debut album

Natalie Bergman, the sister half of Chicago’s brother-sister duo ‘Wild Belle’ is about to release her very first solo album.  She says, (I am) “Really excited about the music and proud to be putting it out on Third Man Records.”  The music is that of hope and loss with roots in gospel and soul, reminiscent of an era past but somehow a perfect soundtrack to climb out of all that 2020 has gifted us.  ‘Mercy’ will be coming out on May 7th, you can pre-order and pre-save it HERE.

‘Shine Your Light On Me’ is the second single and video from the album.  Natalie says, “I built my dream stage design and shot on a tube camera!”  It is vintage and modern all at the same time.  Enjoy!  <3 Lauren

Whose Karen Is It?

We’ve got a Karen this week who is proud of her vegan diet, to say the least. It has trickled down to her kids and now she’s looking to infect an entire community with her meat-free lifestyle. We’d say it’s cruelty-free but this Karen is awfully cruel.

Which community does this Karen belong to? Head on over to our Facebook and let us know!

Town Gets Off on Creating NSFW Snowmen

We don’t know what has gotten into the city of Winnipeg, but they have certainly gotten into snowman crafting this winter season. The activity, usually reserved for, you know, children, has been  revamped and repackaged for adults thanks to the incredible horniness of a few individuals. Snowmen are now sexy, thanks to this town.

The two is split on what to do about this. Some think it is a form of vandalism while others are advocating that these artists get a key to the city. How would you like one of these creations to be planted in your neighborhood? Let us know over on Facebook.

What’s the Nicest Thing You’ve Ever Done for a Stranger?

Sometimes it’s okay to be stuck. In the midst of all of the chaos in Texas, Chelsea Timmons, a delivery driver, got her car stuck in a customer’s driveway. Instead of digging the car out and sending Timmons back onto dangerous, icy roads where this could happen again, the family she was delivering for took her in and let her stay at their place for almost an entire week.

This is an absurd act of kindness during one of the state’s most stressful times. What’s the nicest thing you’ve ever done for a stranger? This is a good time to gloat for the day. Head over to our Facebook and let us know.
