Infectious Rave Broken Up by Police

January 26, 2021 | jnettlebeck

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

January 26, 2021 | jnettlebeck

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”

January 26, 2021 | jnettlebeck

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

January 26, 2021 | jnettlebeck

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?

January 26, 2021 | jnettlebeck

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.

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?

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.”
