Did Kristin Cavallari post a mother’s day tribute to herself on Jay Cutler’s Instagram??

The soon to be divorced couple have been in the headlines a lot recently, this time something seems a little funny.

It looks like the former Bears Quarterback posted a touching instagram tribute to the mother of his 3 children, and soon to be ex-wife Kristen Cavallari and she responded with a simple heart, which seems normal… But there may be more here.

Happy Mother’s day to all the moms. These 3 little ones picked a good one.

A post shared by Jay Cutler (@ifjayhadinstagram) on

Kristin Cavallari and her team created an Instagram account for Jay Cutler because he didn’t have one. They originally made all the posts… so did she make this one to herself?????

That would be amazingly funny, but reports from the former couple say no. Jay has full control of the account now and actual made that post himself.

They may not want to be married to each other anymore, but they are still parents together!!

The Lakefront and 606 may be closed, but there are lots of other parks open!

Saturday was one of those perfect Chicago weather days and I took advantage by driving up the Lake Michigan Circle Tour all the way to Zion and got in some hiking at the Illinois State Beach.  The Lakefront and 606 may be closed, but there are still lots of parks and resources open where you and your family can go hiking, fishing, boating (with no more than 2 people in the boat) even picnicking while practicing safe social distancing.  Stay safe and get outside!  <3 Lauren

Illinois parks open for limited use during COVID-19

Top 3/Bottom 3: Episodes 7 and 8 of The Last Dance

Episodes 6 and 7 of The Last Dance aired last night, and we are loving every single minute of it.  I mean, if we have to be stuck inside forever, what better way to pass the time than by watching MJ and Pippen dunk all over Patrick Ewing amirite?  Here are the top 3 moments we loved from last night, and 3 that we didn’t.

TOP 3

“Way to go, Craig.”  Episode 7 was incredibly quotable, but we got our best one just a few seconds in to the episode.  After being asked a question Jerry Krause clearly didn’t want to answer, causing him to storm out of a press conference that had barely started, someone chimed in with a “Nice one, Craig” towards whoever asked the question.  This needs to become our next go to insult when we need to drag a coworker for not muting their mic on a Zoom chat.

“Is there an echo?”  “Guys Im getting feedback” “Oh sorry, thats me. Forgot to mute.”  “WAY TO GO, CRAIG.”

“I’m Back”  -Michael Jordan, upon announcing his return to the NBA.  Coincidentally, also me, when the dining room at the Olive Garden opens back up.

Steve Kerr has no fear.  Even before the Last Dance, the story of Steve Kerr getting punched in the face by Michael Jordan was widely known, but for the first time we got to hear the details of the story from both players involved.  Turns out that Steve Kerr didn’t just take a punch to the face and keep going, he punched back!  Dude has 8 NBA championships as a coach and player and his greatest accomplishment is that he went blow for blow with Michael Jordan.  I bet he would even agree with that.

BOTTOM 3

THE DUNK.  People forget how close the Bulls got to going to the NBA finals the year MJ went to play baseball.  What people should never forget, is the greatest dunk in NBA history.  The amount of disrespect Pippen delivers to Patrick Ewing (and then Spike Lee) is off the charts.  Seriously, look at this.  And then watch it again and again and again.  They should’ve devoted at least 30 minutes on this dunk, and how Scottie Pippen should’ve been the MVP that year.  In fact, as a Pippen guy, I’m a little upset with how tertiary his story has been this entire series.  Give this man the spotlight he deserves, dammit!

RIP James Jordan.  James Jordan’s murder was such a tragedy.  What made it worse was that some members of the media wrote articles questioning if Michael Jordan’s gambling issues had anything to do with it, despite absolutely no evidence indicating that.  Imagine how awful that must be, to not only lose a family member, but to be blamed for it as well?  Gross.

Michael Jordan, ruining people.  The only thing more disrespectful than the Pippen dunk in these episodes, was Michael Jordan calling Scott Burrell a HO multiple times.  OUTRAGEOUS.  Also, Toni Kukoc has never recovered from the abuse he took from Jordan and Pippen, you can hear it in his voice every time he speaks. Poor Toni. Someone send him a fruit basket.

According to Consequence of Sound, Weezer will be featured with 3 songs including a never-before-heard track “Blue Dream”.

The episode called ‘Homerpalooza’ (Season 7 / Episode 24) came out in 1996 when Lolla was culture tidal wave of on the peak of 90’s alternative music breakthrough period culturally so it was ripe for satire. There is some very memorable scenes with Smashing Pumpkins, Cypress Hill, and Sonic Youth all providing their voices for the episode.  You can stream every episode of the Simpsons now on Disney+.

Watch Foo Fighters Lollapalooza 2011 headlining set

The status of the year’s Lollapalooza in Grant Park will be decided before the end of the month but meanwhile Lolla is answering the call to help the out-of-the-work stage hands and crews of Live Nation. Lolla founder Perry Farrell introduces this very memorable epic performance from the Foo Fighters at the 2011 party on the lake shore.

It’s another reminder of how seismically big and engaging the Foos have become as one of the greatest alternative bands of all time. It’s worth noting this was 9 years ago, and they have not missed a step, as they continue to push themselves both in the studio and on stage.

Lollapalooza will continue to share full sets on YouTube for Crew Nation efforts on Thursdays moving forward.

Joe Rogan laughs in Elon Musks face when he reviles how to say X AE A-12’s name

There has been a lot of scrutiny over the name that Elon Musk and Grimes chose for their new born baby X AE A-12 Musk.

So Elon went on his good friend Joe Rogan’s podcast to tell people how to pronounce it.

X like the letter. Ash is the pronunciation of AE and  A-12 after Elon Musk’s favorite plane.

You know I thought I was going to have a harder time pronouncing it.

And I guess X AE A-12 can always just go by Ash. That’s not too bad now is it!!
