Will Ferrell endures the hottest sauce on Hot Ones

He’s one of the funniest men in film, but being lovable does not save you from the heat of ‘Hot Ones’. The popular web show where interesting famous people get interview while eating progressively hotter hot sauces. The questions can be tough, but trying to get down these lava liquids is probably a bigger challenge.

It’s interesting for Chicago people, Farrell breaks down as a west coast guy who got into late great Cubs announcer Harry Caray and how he developed an classic impersonation of him.

This is a solid 21 minute watch.

Funky new song from Glass Animals

Glass Animals are here to funk up your week with a new song, check out Your Love (Déjà Vu)

“I think we’ve all found ourselves in f–ked up relationships that make us feel sad and helpless,” frontman Dave Bayley said in a statement. “Not necessarily something romantic — maybe it’s with a family member or a friend. A relationship that we know on some level is going to keep breaking our hearts. We let that person back into their lives over and over again, even though it always ends the same. Maybe you don’t confront it because you hope it’ll change with time. Or because it’s easier to let it slide and never set boundaries. Maybe you think you deserve that unhappiness. Or maybe you find some strange comfort in the chaos.”

Bayley continued, “This song is about that…about being addicted to chaos. About doing or allowing something self-destructive because on some level you get off on the sadness that comes of it. It’s about wanting to float around and exist inside of that feeling because it has always been familiar to you. It’s something that a lot of people know from growing up in a tense household…so it can feel right to create that dynamic, even if you don’t realize you’re doing it.”

And yes, Glass Animals are playing a WAAYYYY sold out show at Lincoln Hall March 3, but they are playing Indy June 10th if you are up for the roadtrip, looks like tickets are still available at this time

Remember when they were in our Lounge?

I hope they come back soon.  <3 Lauren

 

This is why you don’t rob a weed shop

Pot shop owners in Washington protect their stores the same way they protect their crops…

With bear spray!

We learned one very important lesson here today kids.

In terms of bear spray, one bear equals three robbers.

Just keep that in mind while strolling around your local outdoor and camping store.

Shock over porn filmed at library during business hours

A Santa Monica public library is under hot water after it was discovered that a porn video was shot on the property during business hours.

The video shows a woman exposing her lady bits on the streets of Santa Monica, including in front of an elementary school… classy.

She then performed some adult acts inside of the library.

Parents are concerned that a child could have witnessed the adult film being made, contradictory to the clear biological lesson that would be taught to the fictitious child.

Impressive work on the porn crew for that video, real pros at the whole guerrilla filming technique. Also shout out the caring parents as well.

good job everyone! Can we all just get along now?

The wheels on the bus go in the ground

A retired school bus driver in Minnesota was remembered by his community in a very… interesting way.

The grind never stops, not even when you’re dead.

I can’t tell if this is sweet, or weird. Who wants to be laid to rest in a huge reminder of what you wasted most of those precious moments in life doing?

Are themed funerals a thing now?

Can I have mine at one of those indoor trampoline places!?!

People let me tell you ’bout my beeeeeeessssssttttt friend!

This unlikely duo has stormed the internet with their cuteness.

They live together in a non-profit organization that focuses on animals with disabilities.

Their viral posts have helped bring in over $6,000 in donations!

Great job Herman and Lundy! You Cuties did a good thing!!!

Watch astronomical cheats in sports get caught

With one of the biggest scandals in sports continuing to develop with the Houston Astros being softly punished for cheating their way to the 2017 World Series title, it opens up reflection on the biggest cheats in sports history. WatchMojo put together this tight look at some cheaters getting caught red handed.

There is much concern from former Cubs manager Dusty Baker that his new team, the Astros could get hit with pitches when they start the current season. Well I think when the Astros come to Chicago they should have to bring their own food. No deep dish. No Polish sausage. If they even look at a Portillo’s choclate cake, they get fined MILLIONS!

Would you wear KFC styled Crocs?

Do you love fried chicken? Do you like unfashionable ‘shoes’ that have holes in them? Well be prepared to enjouy KFC Crocs. Yes, these are a real thing that will be out this spring. The sort-of shoes will plastic chicken tenders on them. Who thought of this? Is this just get us tweeting and Facebooking? Well, mission achieved there. Someone call whoever is playing the Colonel now, and tell them to knock this off. What are the secret herbs and spices in these? Yeah, imagine how that might smell.

If I see you wearing these at Lolla, I am sending you home.

Watch ‘Toy Story 3’ Stop-motion remake 10 years in the making

Toy Story has a fond place in the hearts on several generations and has been one of the most beloved Disney movie series. When it started in the 90’s, it set a game-changing trend in animated films moving towards all computer-generated images but two super-fan brothers just spent the last 10 years making a remake of ‘Toy Story 3’ with actual toys. Yes, 10 years of craft every single individual frame with actual toys and handcrafted backgrounds. It’s thrilling to see play out on such meticulous and detailed scale. They add some fun twists including the tear jerking scene where Andy passes on the Toy Story gang to their new kid, Bonnie.

 

Perfectly pair Girl Scout cookies with….beer?

After seeing Girl Scouts corner the marijuana munchies market in Uptown, I thought their marketing game had reached peak levels.

I stand corrected.

Here is a guide on how to pair your favorite Girl Scout cookie with a choice style of craft beer.  Apparently the Thin Mint cookie and a dry stout are a marriage made in hops heaven!  And don’t you worry, these pairing were made by the fine adults at Craft Beer, not some poor child who illegally elevated her BAC in pursuit on a merit badge.

Read the rest here.  Prost!  — [eric]
