Welp, everything in Australia can kill you apparently.
Take a look at their horrific spiders if you don’t believe me!
You are welcome for the nightmare fuel.
Apparently Mike Tyson is aroused by fighting
What can we say. You like what you like!

Mike Tyson honestly gives the best interviews.
Don’t look up why Odell Beckham Jr was trending on Twitter yesterday
So, the same ladies who recently went viral after describing a crazy night spent with some Phoenix Suns players, went and broke the internet again.
This time they brought in a guest who claims that Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has a very interesting request in the bedroom.
Odell likes to do what 😳🤢 Na I don’t believe this woman. can’t be true 🤦🏾♂️ pic.twitter.com/rndfbLhbFW

Now is this true? Who knows.
It is a little weird that this comes up right after they broke the Suns story. Either way… gross.
Here is what you get in the Travis Scott Meal at McDonald’s
Plenty of famous people have made a collaboration with a business before. It’s good for both parties.
But this might be a first. A Travis Scott X McDonald’s meal.
And here’s exactly what you get.
Would you order a Travis Scott? Who should he collab with next?
Manley’s Mixtape- Essential Pearl Jam
Hey friends! While you are enjoying the History of Alternative on the radio, I’m hanging out on the internet putting together essential playlists from my favorite bands throughout history. Back in the day we called these things mixtapes, and it was thanks to a mixtape given to me by my good friend Mike Makowka that I discovered this band that literally changed my life. The greatest band in the history of ever! PEARL JAM!
Top 10 90s Makeout Songs
The 1990s had their fair share of make out songs. Just imagine a new couple pairing up for a big kiss at Woodstock ’94 with a mud fight breaking out around them during Green Day’s set. These songs are for them and maybe for you as well. There could be a kissable track that we did not find that pops into your head so definitely share it with us on Twitter and Facebook.
- History of Alternative: Weekdays 10a-7pm [ON AIR]
- Mazzy Star ‘Fade Into You’
This song is quintessential 90’s romance. It was used perfectly to set the mood in the 1995 coming-of-age movie ‘Angus’ when the underdog lead character finally got to connect with his crush at the high school dance. It’s about losing yourself in a moment with someone.
2. Red Hot Chili Peppers ‘Suck My Kiss’
Yeah, this sort of explains itself.
3. Belly – “Feed the Tree”
“Take your hat off, boy when you are talking to me”. An assertive woman tells you what to do with reference to the organic reclusiveness of the forest, yeah someone is smooching here.
4. The Cure ‘Friday, I’m in Love’
You fight all week with them, yet you still love them right? A weekend away from weekday work stress can solve things.
5. Alanis Morrisette – “Head Over Feet”
This is all about when best friends become lovers. Alanis seemingly fell for this person before she knew it. Pre-makeout anxiety is real here. The tension is palpable. The harmonica is a fun twist too.
6. Garbage – ‘#1 Crush’
The song opens with a hedonistic moan and sultry bassline. The dark devotion Shirley Manson expresses here is over the top but very relatable. The term “thirsting” is used currently show your desire for someone physically; well this song was ‘thirsty’ before that was used to describe any sex symbol celebrity on your Twitter feed.
7. Weezer ‘Only In Dreams’
Sometimes the person you want to kiss does not exist, they are just someone you dream about.
8. Marcy Playground ‘Sex and Candy’
‘Yeah and there she was’. Go try a Jolly Rancher candy and listen to this.
9. Faith No More ‘Evidence’
The lyrics from the very talented Mike Patton may not fit exactly, but the vibes here are very appropriate for lovers.
10. Jeff Buckley ‘Hallelujah’
Covering Leonard Cohen’s iconic tune is not easy, yet Buckely pulled it off. He also made it quite the sexy cover.
This is what Mike Tyson has been doing to train for his upcoming fight
I still can’t believe that Mike Tyson is going to fight again.
And based off of his training program, this isn’t just some cash grab. He’s there to win.
I would be scared if I was Roy Jones Jr.
Chicago needs this truck that can fix potholes in 5 minutes!
Potholes are the worst.
But what if there was a truck that could fix them in lets say 10 minutes.
Well there isn’t one. But there is one that can do it in 5 minutes!
Chicago! Get on this!!!

This should be the battle of the century!
WWII veteran will get a Juicy Fruit themed casket
Are themed caskets the new thing in the funeral world?
It might be the case because a WWII veteran will be given his final request of a Juicy Fruit themed casket.
The vet was known for handing out the fruity gum to everyone wherever he went.
So some family and friends reached out to Wrigley, and with a little pressure from the community they finally decided to help make this final wish come true.
Now the real question here is… What would you want your casket to be themed??
Nebraska man wants boneless chicken wings to be renamed
They’re chicken nuggets! There is no such thing as a boneless chicken wing!
This guy gets it.
This needs to go all the way to the Supreme Court!
Could Chicago handle a Cubs/White Sox World Series?
With both the White Sox and the Cubs doing quite well in this shortened MLB season, the rumblings on social media have been stirring: Crosstown World Series? Could our city handle that? Would you even be able to tolerate the trash talk on your Facebook feed? It may not happen, but just imagine it. Yeah, it would be wild.
This would be a case of history repeating itself. The 1906 World Series saw the Cubs face the White Sox as a heavily favored team who had the best regular-seasons of any team in baseball history, only to be lost to the Sox in six games. This Wikipedia entry breaks down each game.
Stark Raving Sports did a fantastic video breaking down all the star players and how the series had an effect on a very different Second City from the past.
Ronny’s Steakhouse is closing
This long runnning eatery was a downtown Chicago staple and it will soon be no more. In my early years at Columbia College in the South Loop, going to Ronnie’s was a way knowing you were for sure downtown. It was always cozy and inviting spot for working-class folks. It was not a place for the upper class, it was for everyone hustling somewhere to take a load off and eat something good. CBS Chicago reported it today, and no official reason has been given for the closure.
2020, unfortunately, is a year that’s going to take more than a few beloved businesses around our area due to financial hardships and the constant haunting of COVID-19. Let’s get through it together.
A big beefy dinner or a breakfast was always on the menu.’Chicago’s Best’ documented their meaty good meals.

Pumpkin-spice shoes. Yup, we’ve gone TOO far with this trend.
Pumpkin-spice shoes. It’s a real thing. The good news is, they don’t TASTE like pumpkin-spice. (At least, I think they don’t. I didn’t lick in the sole).
Welcome back to another fall season. Where EVERYTHING must be pumpkin, or else. Now, I’m no marketing guru but….I would think differentiating yourself from the pack would be a good thing. There are soooo many more options for fall flavors. Apple, for one. That’s not even a hard sell. Just pump out some sort of delicious apple-thingy — and boom, Q4 budget achieved.
In 2020, I implore you try something different. Variety is the spice of life, after all. But if you are still down for the pumpkin, here’s the trendiest 2020 products. — [eric]

Loose Buffalo in southern Illinois divert school bus
Obviously this is not a traditional school year for a lot of kids with COVID-19. Many are returning to e-learning at home while in some other parts of Illinois they are going back to the classroom with regulations but something we did not expect is keeping kids from getting to school in Piatt County: Buffalos.
A herd of buffalo got on the loose near Monticello this week and diverted several school buses from getting students to class. Check out the report from WAND.
