Man Eats Three Carolina Reapers in Ten Seconds, Questions Existence

This Canadian man is proudly the new owner of the Guinness World Record holder after shoveling down three Carolina Reaper peppers in just under ten seconds.

We’re not sure why this man woke up and chose violence against his own intestinal system, but we’re glad he did. If you think you can beat his record, please send us the video on the WKQX Facebook page.

China Introduces Anal Swab Covid Tests, Claiming Better Accuracy

Just tell us when and where to bend over.

As the image above demonstrates, this is the type of situation that we’re looking at. According to experts, it takes about 10 seconds to complete and it produces a much more accurate result for Covid than a nasal swab, which is a very painful experience that offers no pleasure. This, on the other hand, could be a game changer.

Are you willing to be swabbed down there? Let us know on Facebook!

Man Hits Doe, Then Swims in Dough

A North Carolina native learned that news, whether good or bad, tends to come in pairs.

Anthony Dowe, the Carolina native, was driving to work when he hit not one, but two deers with his car. Defeated, he drove back home and went to bed. When he woke up, he just happened to check his lottery tickets and saw that he won. When he went to cash in the ticket, he found out that the one million dollar prize had doubled thanks to drawing the 2x Megaplier ticket.

We would gladly mow down two deer if it meant two million dollars.

Enjoy This Glue-Sniffing PSA from the 1960s

For the first time in our lives, we recommend not taking advice from the Ramones.

Please enjoy this PSA titled “Big Trouble in a Small Tube”, which is what I used to call my ex-wife! Hello!

Anyways, being nearly a year into a pandemic is not a good reason to start sniffing glue. There’s no definitive “good reason” to start sniffing glue, so be advised not to do it, ever.

Power to the Investors: GameStop’s Stock Soars

The Internet is a dangerous place. For as much good as its brought to our lives (cute animal videos and naked ladies at the touch of a button), it has not been without its flaws. Every situation is a scandal. Every mistake is captured and saved until the end of time. It’s a tough battlefield to navigate. Every once in awhile, however, the Internet produces some good that doesn’t involve pets or nudity, and this time it involves stocks from struggling brands like GameStop, AMC, and Blackberry.

We’d like to find a way to put our money in JNCO Jeans if possible. Which miracle stock are you investing in? Sound off on Facebook!

People are DONE with cooking

In the beginning of the pandemic, you couldn’t find a bag of flour (or a roll of toilet paper) on any grocery shelf.  Here we are, 10 months later and most people are absolutely over it, the excitement of baking your own bread has been replaced with the excitement of doing ANYTHING (or nothing) else.  If this is you, here are 5 things you can whip up in under 10 minutes thanks to yahoo:

1. Egg sandwiches.

2. Grilled cheese.

3. Hamburgers.

4. Hot dogs.

5. Microwave dinners.

P.S. a pop tart is ready in the microwave in 3 seconds…

(reminds me of Brian Regan’s bit about pop tart directions)  <3 Lauren

Forced Monkey Labor Leads to Coconut Milk Getting Pulled

We’ve heard of monkey business, but “forced monkey labor” is admittedly a new term for us. That’s what Chaokoh coconut milk is being accused of though, after PETA made claims that their milk is the result of monkeys being forced to pick coconuts from trees.

The brand claims they had already been audited by a third party for “coconut harvesting” and nothing unusual came back, but Target and Costco have pulled the brand for the time being.

What Happens When You Put Erection Cream on Your Lips?

Harmless question, right? One influencer recently had what seemed like a brilliant idea as he put erectile dysfunction cream on his upper lip. If the cream typically makes the, you know, Thing, bigger, why would not it make your lips more plump?

Doctors have called this bizarre, however, even after influencer Jerry Mal saw the results that he was looking for. Doctors warn that this is a very dangerous and unproven method.

Moral of the story: don’t put erection cream on your lips.

Is This the Unluckiest Man in the World?

Hawaii comes to mind when I think of peace and tranquillity, but for one Honolulu man, this past year has been an unforgiving war. In April, local resident Aumauinuuese Puni was streaming on Facebook Live from a rooftop (as you do) when he was struck by lightning. The blast scorched his shoes and left him in an immense out amount of pain.

Unfortunately for him, this is not just a story about a man who survived being struck by lightning. Months later, a family member of his tested positive for COVID-19. Puni thought it would be a good idea to get tested, and it was, as he tested positive and quickly found himself in a battle for his life.

Luckily, we have received word that Puni is out of the hospital. This man has survived a lightning strike and COVID all in the same year. Simply put: this man is built different.

iDKHOW on Jimmy Kimmel!

iDKHOW aka I Don’t Know How But They Found Me performed the song ‘Leave Me Alone’ on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night.  I still cannot get over how spotless Dallon Weekes and Ryan Seaman are live, their debut album Razzmatazz is out now, and you need it in your life.  <3 Lauren

Here is my chat with Dallon before Riot Fest 2019 (remember festivals?!)

And highlights from #TNWSC 2019 with twenty one pilots

Infectious Rave Broken Up by Police

Police in Essex, England responded to a call ready to break up an illegal rave lined up around the block. When police arrived, instead of an abundance of young, out of control partiers, they saw a long line of old people waiting to get their COVID-19 vaccine. Wheelchairs and walking sticks were abundant as police snuffed out the situation.

Police retreated from the scene once they realized what was going on. What’s the weirdest reason you’ve ever seen the police called? Let us know on Twitter @101WKQX.

Budweiser Takes a Timeout from Super Bowl Commercials

Not since the 1983 Super Bowl that saw the Washington Football Team defeat the Miami Dolphins has there been a Super Bowl that was without a Budweiser ad. In 2021, that will change. The company announced that they will be donating the designated Budweiser advertisement money to COVID-19 vaccination awareness efforts.

The idea is noble, although it should still be noted that their other brands such as Bud Light and Michelob Ultra will still have ads during the big game.

There will be no Pepsi-specific ads this year, as well, as they are shifting efforts towards promoting the halftime show. Their other brands, such as Mountain Dew, will still get airtime, however.

As we continue adapting to a new normal, we must now adapt to a world that won’t feature The Clydesdales during the Super Bowl. Pour one out for the homies and enjoy some of the best Super Bowl commercials ever in the video above.

Kardashian Curse is Anything But a “Small Thing”

Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker is officially on an illustrious list of successful men that have dated a Kardashian. People Magazine reported that the famed-drummed is now an item with Kourtney Kardashian, the eldest Kardashian sister. We want to simultaneously congratulate Barker, as he’s come a long way from his antics on the Warper Tour stage, while also warning him that the Kardashian Curse is a very real and very scary thing.

Athletes like Reggie Bush, Lamar Odom, Blake Griffin, and Ben Simmons have had their careers drastically altered after connecting with a Kardashian. The amount of damage the socialite family has caused in the world of sports is hard to keep up with. We have no scientific data to say that Kourtney is going to affect Travis and his drumming, but we also can’t rule it out. Stay vigilant and be warned, Travis, this could change everything.

Microsoft to Let You Talk to the Dead

We’re not sure why Microsoft employees are opening the floodgates to talk to the dead, but according to a recently filed patent, they are creating “chatbots” for the dead that have been described as, “The specific person [who the chat bot represents] may correspond to a past or present entity (or a version thereof), such as a friend, a relative, an acquaintance, a celebrity, a fictional character, a historical figure, a random entity etc.”

Obviously, this is as horrifying as it is cool. If this were to work (and not kill us with a violent robot uprising), which dead person would you like to talk to? Please let us know on social media who you’d like to have a conversation with that you can’t currently.

What is Jay Cutler Up to Now?

Former Bears QB and hot-jock-stud Jay Cutler is back in the news as he continues his on-again-off-again saga with Kristin Cavallari. The two were seen recently on Instagram together with the caption, “The world is full of users. 10 years. Can’t break that.” This led to an interview with ‘Southern Charm’ star Madison Lecroy, who had been rumored to have had a fling with the former Bears QB. She unveiled some “receipts” about Cutler and their relationship, and now, according to her Instagram, seems unfazed by Cutler going back to Cavallari.

Jay Cutler is a QB with no rings, but two dimes. His post-career success is something to behold. We wish Jay best of luck as this tabloid-fueled drama is only going to get more confusing.
