There is a lot that we could be complaining about being stuck inside all day.
But this 93 year old woman near Pittsburgh PA just wants one thing…
MORE BEER!!
Somebody grab my girl a cold one please!
It is essential!
Shaq offered $10K to players who would fight Kobe Bryant
Maybe they didn’t love each other while playing together, but dang they were good.
It is known that Shaq and Kobe Bryant had a feud against one another while playing together for the Los Angeles Lakers, but Isiah Rider. lets loose that Shaq was willing to put up $10 grand to anyone who would fight Kobe.
J.R. Rider telling the story of joining the Lakers and Shaq letting him know he has $10,000 cash if Rider fought Kobe is absolutely hilarious. Better though is Jackson’s response. (h/t All the Smoke) pic.twitter.com/FBME9Rf5Kp

He was probably joking right… RIGHT!
Shaq is literally the size of a dump truck, he could’ve handled business himself if he ever really needed to.

Instead of Bulls and Blackhawks games, the United Center is now home to nearly 400 tons of non perishable food now.
The United Center teamed up with the Greater Chicago Food Depository to help them store food inside the stadium allowing workers for the Greater Chicago Food Depository practice social distancing while still being able to feed those who need it.
Photos of an empty arena turned warehouse are shocking.

Kid gets a special birthday surprise from construction workers
Having a birthday in quarantine sucks, but these workers made it special for this kid.
Sawyer is turning 7, and his absolute favorite thing to do is watch the construction workers who are building a high rise building next door work each day. So when the construction company heard this, they decided that they were going to make this kids quarantine birthday as amazing as it could be.
This is awesome!
The bright side of this pandemic is that it is bringing us all together a little bit.
Happy birthday Sawyer!!
Want more Joe Exotic? Consider this Netflix “prequel” of sorts on the Tiger King.
Here you are…. done scarfing down the second helping of Tiger King given to us on this Easter Sunday, and yet….you are still hungry for more.
Here’s a helping of almost-10-year-old dessert.
It’s a preview of British-American Louis Theroux’s profile on Joe Exotic done in 2011. Roll trailer below — and feel free to stream the actual episode here. Consider it a “prequel,” of sorts. (Apparently with zero Carole Baskin). — [eric]

Watch ‘Coachella: 20 Years in the Desert’ Documentary
It may have been recently heavily associated with memes about hipster influencers in flower crowns, but Coachella has for the past 20 years grown to become one of the biggest music festivals in the world. YouTube this week dropped this 1 hour 43 minute long documentary about the evolution of the festival which is deeply tied to Pearl Jam in the mid-90s, a punk rock promoter who went to jail, and trying what was then seen as a risky blend of genres on one bill.
Yes, you can watch something this weekend that does not involve tigers.
Watch Twenty One Pilots new quarantine video ‘Level of Concern’
Tyler Joseph is a new father, and this is a scary time to be a new parent but he was inspired by his family to pen this new song over the last few weeks. That same get-it-done-at-home vibe came into play in the number 1 YouTube trending video has been a little over a day and has already been streamed 5.6 million times.
Here is a demonstration on how cross contamination works
Remember, gloves might keep your hands clean but you still can’t touch your face!

Just be mindful about your hands! Wash them, avoid your face, and don’t touch your phone!

Did you want to fight?
The Karens of the world would be at a loss if people just gave them what they wanted.
Fighting for meaningless reasons is what gets them out of bed in the morning!
Great customer care really if employees ask if you wanna fight.
Sometimes it’s just what you need to get those angrys out.
Garage door beer challenge is amazing
When you are stuck inside you find interesting ways to entertain yourself.
Like making a new challenge.
How do you even think of that!?!?!
These two are amazing!
That is couples goals.
Hear NEW Music from Twenty One Pilots
Just a little background on how the song came about:
Tyler’s mom inspired him to write a song for their fans in this unprecedented moment in all of our lives. He decided to write about the last time he felt this out of control. This virus has taken such a huge toll on everyone and as a new dad now in lockdown it makes him feel helpless. He chose to turn it into a love song about his wife. He compares this time of little control to that moment when he decided to commit to a life with her and that uneasy feeling of realizing that when you make that kind of a commitment to someone else, you give up a good portion of control. It is no longer all about you, it is about us!

Here’s how to catch a fish with a mouse trap
Alright this may seem weird, and that is because it is, but this bush craft outdoorsman has come up with a technique to catch fish only using some fishing line and a mouse trap.
Is this practical in Chicago? No… plus we kind of have that rat problem so the traps should probably be used for that.
But hey who am I to stop you from mouse trapping a fish!??!
Happy hunting!
For the first time ever, every animal has been adopted from Chicago Animal Control
For the first time ever, every animal in at the Chicago Animal Control has been adopted this week!
That means more dogs like Kale Chips here are going to find their forever home!!
PAWS Chicago and One Tail at a Time, Two of Chicago’s biggest animal adoption shelters have had so much interest in fostering cats and dogs ever since the stay at home protocol went into effect that they have actually had to put people on a waiting list!
Animal shelters are classified as essential businesses so they are still open for business and are still sending animals to their forever homes.
Since March 22, 2,200 applications have been sent in to PAWS Chicago with interest in fostering or adopting a cat or dog.
Now the shelters are warning people that they need to think about how they will care for these pets after the quarantine is over.
With that in mind, and for more information you can visit PAWS website and One Tail at a Time’s website for more info on how you can foster or adopt your very own pet!
Couple saves bar by buying $40k bourbon
Here’s some good news to start your morning!
This local bar was almost forced to shut its doors for good after the coronavirus stopped patrons from coming in to buy drinks.
But then a couple decided to step in and help out.
$20K for a bottle of anything is ridiculous.
Paying $20K more than it is worth is damn near ludicrous!
Once this is all said and done, I hope that couple at least gets a free round on the house!!
What a great story. People are the best!
