We have a ruling from the Archdiocese of Chicago on whether or not whatever form of “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Beef” you enjoy is — kosher? — to eat during the six week religious observance of Lent.
Unfortunately, The Glorious Sons had to cancel last night’s show at the Metro with Des Rocs, but we now have a make-up date: April 29th, and your original tickets will be honored on the new date. If you need to purchase them still, go HERE. Remember when they were in our Lounge last? <3 Lauren (Photo by Zach Spangler)
It is an age-old question, and Jif peanut butter has decided to put an end to it by partnering up with Giphy to create their brand new Gif peanut butter jar.
The debate has raged for years. Is it ‘Gif’ or ‘Jif’? The short little animated posts you see all the time usually come from web content hub Giphy has collaborated with peanut butter people Jif to play on this play between words. So which one do YOU think best represent the thing on your internet feeds that shows off a reaction or emotion you would rather embed from a code than type out yourself?
YouTube channel React covered the debate with teams. Yes, we have teams of people arguing over this.
As this silly debate video from Comedy Central notes, the creator of GIF says it should be pronounced as ‘GIF’ but still many want to say ‘JIF’. It has some testy language be aware.
I want and need to quit smoking cigarettes so bad but I seem to fail time after time. I suck at quitting. As I am gearing up to take another stab at quitting, I thought this time it would be effective and fun to quit with other people suffering from the addiction. Power in numbers type of thinking.
I am looking to build a dream team of quitters. A group of people that holds each other accountable but encourages one another to quit this habit that is killing us. Are you a horrible quitter? If so I want you on my team!
Let’s team up and quit smoking cigarettes/vapes together.
I’ve been smoking for 15 years and I always imagined I’d have quit by now. We all have our personal reasons for needing to quit but the one reason we all share in common is our health. It’s legit killing us. If we got to choose our way of dying, would you choose it being from cigarettes and at an early age? Probably not. Me either.
F this.

Even the toughest man in the world struggles with mental health issues.
It is the toughest opponent anyone has to face, but you aren’t alone.
Tyson Fury, the new heavyweight champion of the world, shared some awesome advice on the Rich Eisen Show for those who also suffer from mental health issues.
“It comes from deep down within my soul.” –@Tyson_Fury@trboxing told us how he battles mental illness every day and stays ahead on the scorecard.
Let’s say the obvious: the Houston Astros are the most despised team in all of sports right now. Since it was revealed they actively cheated in a rule-breaking scheme to use technology to steal pitch signals during home games on their way to winning the World Series in 2017, they have been getting rightfully trashed in sports media and everywhere else. They got some punishment from the league but many fans have felt the fact that players on the team got immunity by participating in the investigation is unacceptable. The topic is staying hot right now, and the Astros want to bury it despite all the noise it’s stirring up.
ESPN is reporting in this video that Astros are confiscating signs from fans who are criticizing the team during their spring training games. One fan had a sign that read “Houston *’s” in reference to their tainted championship, but the team simply can’t let it be. This would not be the first time they stole a sign. We should all expect more negative reactions for the Astros as they start the current season.
Last week on 101WKQX, I asked listeners to text into 312101 with how the Cubs and the White Sox should ‘punish’ the Astros. My favorite response is from the 630, they suggested we replace their Gatorade/water cooler in the dugout with Malort. Yeah, they will taste their sins!
Using the CTA when the buses are packed can be really annoying. You have seen that packed bus roll up and just wish the standing room only crowd will not move to the back, well there could soon be a solution. The Chicago Tribune is reporting this week that the CTA is looking into a potential new route onto buses where riders could get on through the backdoor where most usually exit the bus.
The Trib says this summer the No. J14 Jeffery Jump and the No. 192 University of Chicago Hospitals Express will get a trial run of the “all-door” bus boarding on the South Side.
The big bus and train system has been dealing with a lot of challenges recently including an increase in crime and more people choosing to spend more to ride with ride share services like Uber.
Yeah, this is real. A British website that sells auto parts is offering an odd contest: watch all of the 24 James Bond 007 movies in 24 days and make $600. The “License to Watch” job comes with a catch, you have to do it for 24 consecutive nights.
According to UPI, the winning applicant will get all 24 films and record their thoughts on each movie. There is also a “top secret assignment” from the site CarTakeBack, but we won’t know what that is until the winner is selected.
The latest Bond movie ‘No Time To Die’ with Daniel Craig’s reported final performance in the role hits theaters on April 10th. Billie Eilish got the sought-after duties of doing the theme for this 007 film, stream it here.
Two years ago, SLICED KETCHUP came out and went viral . . . even though it seemed pretty unnatural. Well, this is even less natural.
A company in Japan is taking preorders for MAYO SLICES. You can buy a package of four slices of mayo that look just like slices of cheese . . . only, you know, they’re mayo.
For whatever reason, the company decided to FLAVOR the mayo slices with different types of fish. There’s no word on whether they might make it over to the U.S. . . . but would you even want them if they did?
I LOVE BABIES!!! There, got that off my chest. Seriously, if you bring your baby around me (I will ask first) but will 10/10 snuggle them until you take them back.
Tyler Joseph of twenty one pilots and wife Jenna may have just brought the most adorable child into this world a few weeks ago, the couple introduced her to the world over the weekend on instagram.
Many people are saying the rebirth of heavyweight boxing mattering again is upon us.
Fury VS Wilder II was supposed to mark that rebirth, and boy did it not disappoint.
Hold on, wait a second… did you see that?
Oh my… Tyson Fury was not joking when he said he wanted to taste his opponent’s blood.
Congrats though big guy.
In all seriousness though, Tyson Fury has had a long road to this title and if you’ve ever heard him talk about his mental health struggles you know how tough it was.
What an electric fight it was. Congrats to both fighters… I’m sure they both walked away with a pretty penny.
