Green Day’s ‘Insomniac’ turns 25: Watch classic documentary and MTV ’96 show
Green Day are a band that has been awesome for a very long time, and they have endured through the years from their humble beginnings touring out of a van from the West Coast to playing stadiums like Wrigley Field. When they hit in the ’90s they hit huge, they were ever-present in youth culture. You did not listen to them, you had to listen to them. The pressure and expectations were built-in following the game-changing ‘Dookie’ album, so when they came out with a more focused yet still angry album with ‘Insomniac’ in 1995, it meant they were going to keep the momentum going for years to come.

Tre, Mike, and Billie are celebrating the 25th anniversary of that special music by releasing a double LP reissue with added live tracks from their 1996 Prague show at Sportovni Hala. The reissues will likely reach fans in early 2021 due to COVID related production issues, and you can order now at their website. They also gave us some mid-90’s goodness today with this performance from MTV’s ‘Hang’n Out’ from 1996. You can watch that above.
They also rolled out this 20 minute documentary of never-before-seen footage from the Insomniac tour. Those boys had some fun overseas back in the day. Look at those crowds going nuts!
Whose Karen is it?
Oh boy, it’s that time of the week!
Time to play Chicago’s favorite game, whose Karen is it!
This week we found a Karen that is absolutely livid over her neighbors… C-section?
What a strange soapbox to stand on.
Where do you think a c-section scar hating Karen would hail out of?
Lebron James built his daughter a personal mini house for her birthday!
Alright, is this the best present ever? Or is this doing too much?
Lebron built his daughter a replica house of their mansion in his back yard for her 6th birthday!
I mean honestly, depending on how much the rent is, I’d consider living in that thing!
Rondo says he’ll never let the Warriors beat Lebron again
Rajon Rondo talked about how he would make it so Lebron would never have to lose to the Golden State Warriors again in an interview after the Lakers won the NBA finals Sunday night.
This is a true friendship move!
Is there a better teammate Lebron James could ask for!?!
Not to mention, Rondo is the only player ever to win a Championship with the Boston Celtics AND the LA Lakers.
This man is a mythical creature!
This insta models cheeks will make you question everything
Don’t be alarmed, this is in fact a human being.
How could she possibly make her cheeks bigger!?!?!
Why do people want to look like this?
Is Kraft sexualizing mac ‘n’ cheese?
Don’t you love it when a commercial really hits the spot.
You know what else hits the spot? Mac ‘n’ cheese.
Kraft came under fire (from some dorks who don’t want to have fun) about this ad that uses some choice words.
That’s just plain funny, ok!
They said bad words, but it’s not bad word!
Genius!
Alright this was just an excuse to watch this ad. Fine, you got me!

He had to go and buy a new uniform shirt and finish his route for the day. That honestly makes him a double hero!
They could’ve at least given this guy a free shirt though right?
Thank your postal worker next time you see them. You never know, they could save your life someday.
Eddie Murphy’s ‘Coming 2 America’ will stream on Amazon Prime
It was one of the biggest comedy films of the 80’s and it’s sequel could be coming to Amazon Prime for Christmastime. ‘Coming 2 America’, the follow-up to Eddie Murphy’s classic film where he plays an African royal prince trying to adapt to life in the United States with some ridiculous results. The new film will see Murphy being joined by Arsenio Hall, Leslie Jones, Tracy Morgan, and Wesley Snipes in lead roles. Popcorned Planet posted this video breaking it all down and how the film not coming to theaters will impact the already hurting cinema chains. The digital streaming release which will cost Amazon $125 million, has not yet been officially confirmed.
Amazon also had another big comedy acquisition wiht the new ‘Borat’ film from Sascha Baron Cohen. That movie which will likely get every dude you know with no personality of their own saying ‘MY WIFE!’ again, will hit the Prime on October 23rd.

Flying is terrifying, you never know what could happen.
Like hail! Who ever thinks about hail while flying!

Don’t worry, everyone was ok.
And it’s actually really safe to fly… even if hail exists.
But still, that had to be scary!
PAWS CHICAGO 20TH ANNUAL 5K WALK RUN & COSTUME CONTEST

Stick your pet (or yourself) in the cutest costume, take a photo or two, and enter between Oct. 23 and 31. You know I already have Reggie’s costume picked out.
Here’s how you sign up for the 5k…
WHERE: Register and tune in at pawschicago.org/5K for suggested race course options (or make your own!)
WHEN: Saturday, October 31, 2020
EVENT WEEK SCHEDULE:
- Mid-October | Pet “Howl-oween” Costume Contest

- Saturday, October 31, 10:00am – 12:00pm | Virtual PAWS Chicago 5K Walk/Run For Their Lives Event
WHY: The 20th Annual PAWS Chicago 5K Walk Run is critically important to funding the life-saving programs at PAWS Chicago. Since its founding in 1997, the number of homeless pets killed in the city has been reduced by 91%, but there is still so much work left to do to reach a truly No Kill community. Proceeds from the event helps PAWS save homeless dogs and cats who are still at risk, and ensures every rescued pet receives the individualized, nurturing care they need for a happy, healthy life. PAWS Chicago’s work is 100% reliant on the support of the community.
And just look how cute Big Reg looks in his costume!

Pro Go-Kart driver throws bumper at opponent then immediately quits the sport
Alright there is a lot of fun to unpack here.
There is a pro Go-Kart circuit out there apparently, and they take it super seriously.
So seriously that after an incident, this racer threw his bumper at an opponent on the track.

But he wasn’t done there. He found his opponent after the race and tried to fight him.
He then immediately retired from the sport. He swore to never race again.
What a way to go out. A true blaze of glory.
Who knew riding a scooter could be so cool
I always thought that people who ride scooters around Chicago look like big ol’ stinkin dorks.
Turned out I was completely wrong, because this guys scooter skills somehow redeem all the bird scooter riders out there.
Hopefully people start doing these tricks on the street. That would look so cool!
