Check The Flaming Lips Concert Where Everyone’s in a Bubble .

January 25, 2021 | Tim Virgin

That FLAMING LIPS concert where everybody was in a bubble went down in Oklahoma City on Saturday night, and it was . . . interesting.

It looks like only a few people were allowed in a single bubble . . . and even the band members were each in their own bubble.

The show was originally set for December, but they canceled it after an uptick in COVID cases in Oklahoma.

 

P.S.  Can you drink in these things?

(Here’s the video.)

Enjoying Wandavision? Try these comics.

January 25, 2021 | JVO

We’re still not sure where “Wandavision” is going: Is Wanda the villain? Will we see Magneto? Mephisto? And if Quicksilver appears, which movie version will it be (FOX X-Men or Age of Ultron)?

The comics histories of both Scarlet Witch and Vision have become more convoluted through the years, but here are three straightforward, super old school/classic stories worth digging into. All are available on Comixology/Amazon, and have been collected in multiple reprint editions.

Avengers #16 (1965) – Scarlet Witch started her Marvel Comics career as a villain, serving as a member of Magneto’s Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. When Captain America took the reins of the Avengers, he assembled Scarlet Witch and her brother Quicksilver to be part of the team.

Avengers #57 (1968) – The first appearance of the Vision. “Avengers: Age of Ultron” borrowed ideas and inspiration from this one. Vision’s background got considerably more muddy as time went on, but this is a great place to start.

Avengers #185 (1979) – The origin of Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver started to unfold in this issue.  Legendary artist alert: The issue sports a George Perez cover and interiors by John Byrne.

AMC raises funds to make it through ‘dark winter’

January 25, 2021 | JVO

The country’s largest theater chain is trying its best to stay afloat. AMC Theatres announced today it had raised nearly a billion dollars in capital to “make it through this dark coronavirus-impacted winter.” The company says the money will keep theaters operating “deep into 2021” in the hopes that business can recover later this year when more Americans are vaccinated.

Hunger Emergency!

January 25, 2021 | jnettlebeck

I’ve always heard that crime is a thrilling adventure. Something that gets lost in the grand scheme of things is that even in the midst of anarchy, people get hungry. That’s why this man, who stole an ambulance in Houston, took the stolen vehicle through a Jack in the Box drive-thru in the midst of doing this criminal deed. He was able to be tracked down with relative ease as he went through the drive-thru with the ambulance lights on.

Have you ever stopped for food during a weird activity? Has the crime of hunger ever thwarted your other criminal mischief? Please let us know over at 101WKQX.

How Weird is Your Body?

January 25, 2021 | jnettlebeck

Harmless question, we promise. Our bodies are incredible. The fact that they are able to function at all is impressive, but factor in hidden talents and we honestly must applaud our bodies for being what they are. For one woman, her secret talent certainly leaves a mark.

Does Your Partner Have a Jealousy Problem?

January 25, 2021 | jnettlebeck

Admit it, we all get a little jealous. The idea of seeing your partner with someone that is perhaps younger and hotter than you are is a tough image to stomach. For one woman in Sonora, Mexico, she let her jealousy get the best of her. She saw her man with pictures of a younger woman and she snapped. She stabbed her husband with a knife.

Obviously, there’s an issue with the stabbing. Let’s make that clear. But the most egregious part of all of this is that the woman that her partner was pictured with was her. She didn’t recognize her younger, hotter self. She lost control because she thought her man was seeing another woman, but in reality, he downloaded some old photos to remember the good times. A knife to the stomach is a way of saying “thank you” to some, I guess.

What’s the dumbest thing you’ve done in a fit of jealousy? Please let us know over at 101WKQX on Twitter.

How Many Donuts Can You Fit in Your Mouth?

January 25, 2021 | jnettlebeck

This girl brought us a new answer to the proverbial question, “what that mouth do?” I mean seriously, look at what that mouth does!

We don’t want to see any of our listeners do harm to themselves, but we kind of what to see what those mouthes do? If you can fit two or more donuts in your mouth, we need to see that. As for now, this woman remains the queen for all mouth-related content. We’re blown away by this.

The Best Dunk in the History of Basketball

January 25, 2021 | jnettlebeck

Great dunks are often done by the game’s greatest players. Dr. J rocked the baby, Jordan jumped from the free throw line, and Blake Griffin jumped over a car. We’ve even see legends like Darryl Dawkins and Shaq cause destruction with their backboard-shattering displays of aggression. Now, however, we must give the new dunk king his crown. Alabama high schooler and Mississippi State basketball recruit Keshawn Murphy etched his way into the history books after delivering a basket-breaking slam over the weekend. He didn’t break the backboard, nor did he tear off the rim. He brought down THE WHOLE BASKET.

The damage was so significant that the game had to be postponed, however, and the final four minutes will be played at a later date. Given the sheer destruction involved, we have to say this is the best dunk we’ve ever seen. Do you agree? Let us know on Twitter @101WKQX.

What would it sound like if Blink-182 wrote a Barenaked Ladies song?

January 24, 2021 | Eric

Whether people figure out that two songs can be mixed almost seamlessly together — or whether it’s something like this — I’m amazed at the musical creativity that exists in the world and thankful for social media to allow us to see it.

If back in the late 1990s, “One Week” were a song that Blink-182 wrote and put out on a album, it might sound a little bit like this.  And thanks, Alex Melton.  — [eric]

A Mom’s Brilliant Way to Tell Her Husband That She Dented the Car

January 20, 2021 | Tim Virgin

Here’s a “get out of trouble” hack that every mom has in her back pocket.  A woman is sitting in her car calling her husband.  She reminds him of when she was pregnant, and he told everyone WE’RE pregnant.

And when she gave birth he told everyone WE gave birth.  Then she says, quote, “Well, WE dented the car.”

 

(Here’s the video.)

Whose Karen is it?

January 19, 2021 | jnettlebeck

New moms breastfeed their babies, this is just a fact. It’s how babies eat.

They also don’t get to choose when their baby gets hungry. This is totally out of their control.

But this Karen doesn’t care. If you’re breastfeeding in public, you are the worst person on earth. At least in her eyes…

What do you think Chicago?

What neighborhood is claiming them? Whose Karen is it?

It’s now legal to compost humans in Washington state

January 19, 2021 | jnettlebeck

We’re all trying to do our part to help save the planet.

Composting is a great way that you can help out at home! It’s great for the environment and super easy to do.

Usually people break down biodegradable food scraps. You know, banana peels, egg shells, all that stuff you usually just throw in the trash.

In Washington, however, they’re now starting to compost human remains!

I’m sure this won’t be used ( by, I don’t know, the mob) for illegal body disposals!

No totally not weird at all!

Jamie Lynn Spears blames Elon Musk for killing her cats

January 19, 2021 | jnettlebeck

There is a huge problem with Tesla in regards to cats!

Jamie Lynn Spears explains it all here.

Wait… How is this Elon Musk’s and Tesla’s problem?

How many cats has Jamie Lynn Spears plowed over in her Tesla?

One is acceptable, that’s an accident. Two is pushing it… But she does’t even give a number!

Jamie Lynn, this isn’t a Tesla problem, this is a you problem!

Watch where you’re driving for the love all our furry friends!!!
