Catholic School Expels Student for Mom’s OnlyFans!

February 24, 2021 | jnettlebeck

Mom, stop posting on OnlyFans, it’s embarrassing me! For one kid in Sacramento, his mother’s newfound fame is becoming a hefty price to pay. The woman behind the Mrs. Poindexter OnlyFans account was attempting to keep a low profile under her pseudonym, but the jig was up once she started raking in upwards of $150,000 a month. Mean moms in her neighborhood snitched on her and at the start of this week, it was requested that her three young children find a new school.

Should the kids have to suffer for something that wasn’t altering their performance at school? Let us know over on our Facebook page.

Local Lawmakers Look to Ban ‘Grand Theft Auto’ After Carjackings Spike

February 24, 2021 | jnettlebeck

Video games are always to blame. This was a talking point during the rise of 3D games in the late 20th century, a highly contested issue during the height of Call of Duty, and now, thanks to an increase in carjackings around the city, video games are once again to blame. This time it’s ‘Grand Theft Auto’, the most controversial release ever.

What do you think about this? Hit us up on Facebook and let us know your thoughts on this proposed video game ban.

Tiger Woods Injured in Car Crash

February 24, 2021 | jnettlebeck

Over a decade after the car crash that drastically altered his career, Tiger Woods is once again facing a long road ahead after crashing his car on February 23.

It has been confirmed that Woods is “conscious and responsive”. Woods underwent surgery to repair compound fractures in each leg, as well as a shattered ankle. Check back on WKQX social media all day for more updates on this situation.

Arlington Park for sale, likely to be redeveloped.

February 23, 2021 | Eric

Arlington Park is up for sale, and according to this report from the Chicago Tribune, the 326-acre horse track site is headed towards redevelopment. And the mayor of Arlington Heights is already talking about a “mixed-use or entertainment development” in its place.

So — what’s a good replacement? Arlington Park has decent parking, is easily reached by car, and ridiculously accessible by Metra with its own dedicated stop. I’d love to see a smaller outdoor concert venue with restaurants, bars, and shopping. A man can dream, can’t he? — [eric]

If You Could Pick One Age to Be the Rest of Your Life, What Would You Choose?

February 23, 2021 | Tim Virgin

Here’s a hypothetical that should do a nice job making you angry at the concept of time itself. Why’s it gotta be all linear, you know?

A new survey asked people if they could choose one age to be the rest of their lives, what would they choose?

And the most common answer was . . . 36.

The survey also found more than half of people say they look around five years younger than they are and feel six years younger.

In spite of all that . . . 59% say they used to be obsessed with slowing down how they were aging, but now they’re doing a better job accepting and embracing it.

Relationship Court: Am I Being a Wet Blanket?

February 23, 2021 | jnettlebeck

Fan of the show Angela needs our help. As she explains in this email, she’s been taking road trips with her husband during the pandemic. That was working out great until they hit Colorado and the grounds of her husband’s ex-girlfriend’s place. Here’s what happened:

What do you think? Does Angela have a right to be concerned and angry or is she simply being no fun? Give this woman some help over on our Facebook page!

Adrenaline Junkie Pushes Things to the Extreme

February 23, 2021 | jnettlebeck

The things people do to get their works off. For this 26-year-old daredevil, simply snowmobiling at high-speeds was not enough. He had to send that machine off of a cliff and then parachute to safety just to have a little fun that afternoon.

We’re very impressed by the man jumping off of a cliff, of course, but we’re even more impressed by the little parachute that deployed for the snowmobile. How great is that?

Man Fakes Kidnapping to Get Out of Work

February 23, 2021 | jnettlebeck

They say if you love what you do then you never work a day in your life – we cannot imagine how much this man must’ve hated this job. A 19-year-old in Arizona tied himself up and put a banana in his mouth to attempt to stage the kidnapping. While the initial attempt may have gotten him out of his shift, his story started to fall apart once the police investigation began.

What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever done to get out of work? Let us know over on our Facebook page.

What’s the Weirdest Thing You’ve Seen in Someone’s House?

February 23, 2021 | jnettlebeck

Is it fair to say you don’t really know someone until you’ve seen where they live? We think that’s fair. You never know what kind of rude surprises me be in store for you once you go into someone’s home for the first time. Take this Zillow listing, for example.

A wee bit concerning, isn’t it? Still, that’s a pretty fair offer for that place. It’s probably time for Brian, Ali, and Justin to hit the road and this place looks perfect for that.

Fire in the Hole: Porch Pirate Caught in the Act!

February 23, 2021 | jnettlebeck

A man in Mississauga, Ontario might be forced to walk the plank after attempting to swipe a package off of someone’s doorstep. Porch pirates are the worst because it’s so rare that their plans are foiled. Luckily for us, not only did this man fail at his attempt, but it was all caught on video.

All 233 seconds of this video are beautiful. The initial bust, the fleeing, and the wheels sputtering come together to create a form of vigilante poetry. It’s really a sight to behold, isn’t it?

Cheating Boyfriend Gets Humiliated!

February 23, 2021 | jnettlebeck

It’s 2021 and fellas are still out here cheating. Shame on them. Luckily, this man’s now ex-girlfriend is pretty crafty. Thanks to a little imagination and a lot of super glue, she was able to get revenge in a way that should satisfy anyone’s justice-driven appetite.

Blink-182 to have some…interesting collaborations on new album.

February 22, 2021 | jmanley

Blink-182 is getting close to releasing new music and, well, some of the artists they’ve been working with might leave you a little nervous. In a recent interview, Travis Barker (who is producing EVERYONE these day and singlehandedly bringing back pop punk so give him his flowers) said that the new record was 60% complete and will be featuring artists like Grimes and Lil Uzi Vert on it. I’ll give you a second to process that…….OK,deep breath now let’s continue. Barker also said that he knows it sounds crazy but not to worry, its not like Blink is about to release a rap album. Who do you want the band to collaborate with on the new record? I say bring back Tom. No offense to Matt Skiba, who RULES, its just that singing along to Miss You without using the famous Delong accent doesn’t hit quite the same.

BE CAREFUL OUT THERE

February 22, 2021 | <3 Lauren

My buddy Dan, you may know him as Producer Dan on the Dave and Kim morning show on our sister station WLS FM, just posted this crazy picture. He was driving behind a semi on the interstate when a bowling ball made of ice fell off and hit his windshield final destination style! Thankfully he is okay, and made the rest of his 40 mile drive home safely.

And I thought I just needed to worry about my neighbor’s icicle fortresses… <3 Lauren

Daft Punk Are Done.

February 22, 2021 | G

Daft Punk just announced they have officially called it quits after 28 years.

They announced this along with a pretty gnarly retirement video on their YouTube page that you can see here.

In the meantime, as we wait for a reunion show (fingers crossed), we can all rewatch Daft Punk’s Lollapalooza set ONE MORE TIME. Sorry, couldn’t resist.

Here’s What You Need to Know About WFH Tax Deduction

February 22, 2021 | jnettlebeck

It’s that time of the year again, but this last year has been like no other. If you’ve been working from home due to the pandemic here’s what you need to know.

The gist is this: “Many companies allowed or even encouraged their employees to work from home during the coronavirus pandemic, but any expenses employees incurred to make the new setup work aren’t deductible on your federal income tax returns. Nor are any expenses related to your home office space, like utilities, insurance, or taxes.”

A full list of what you need to know can be found here.
