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.

You remember former Governor of Illinois Rod Blagojevich right?
You know, the guy who tried to sell Obama’s senate seat and got caught red-handed.
Well, Blago is out of jail and now wants to go on everyone’s show to talk about how tough it is in prison.
Anderson Cooper was not having any of that, however.

Anderson Cooper is a legend for this one!
There’s not much to do in North Dakota, so there is plenty of time for these girls to practice their b-ball skills.

ELECTRIC!
Now I have to know who broke the streak, they need to be kicked off the team.
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.
Say what you want about Flat Earth theorist “Mad” Mike Hughes, but the man has some courage to launch himself up in the air in a man-made rocket.
People close to him say he was a self-proclaimed daredevil.
This was not his first time strapping himself to a rocket. Apparently he has had successful flights before.
This launch however… was not the best.
Mad Mike Hughes just launched himself in a self-made steam-powered rocket and crash landed. Very likely did not survive. #MadMike #MadMikeHughes pic.twitter.com/svtviTEi8f

RIP Mad Mike, I hope Heaven is as flat as the Earth is in your mind.
Also kids, please don’t ever strap yourself to a rocket. Flat Earth or not… keep your life.

On February 19th, the Foo Fighters celebrated the 25th anniversary of their first gig — a kegger in Seattle. And the band posted a picture as proof:
There is a moment in every band’s history when you decide it’s time to load the gear out of the practice space and bring the music to the people for the first time. This was ours, 25 years ago today. Keg party at the Marine Store, Seattle Wa….#FF25 #FF2020 pic.twitter.com/xp2GFkneQo

The Foo Fighters are remembering those first touring days, living out of a small Dodge van — by embarking on The Van Tour 2020. No Chicago date, but you can catch their first ever show in Green Bay, Wisconsin this May — if, as a Chicagoan, you can look yourself in the mirror after setting foot in Packer Country. — [eric]

Music and youth. They are synonymous with each other. Part of becoming a young adult is picking up the flag of a band or a musical artists that speaks to you in that emotionally turbulent time when you are growing into yourself. So how old were you exactly when you had that discovery of your first ‘favorite band’? That band that maybe you still listen to now and hold in a special place in your heart. When did you have that formative experience?
TickPick surveyed 1,010 people the question and determined a few things on this, and it looks like most people find that music at 13. The survey added that you’ll be introduced to “explicit” music about the age of 12, and that attending concerts with your parents when you’re young helps you develop a stronger bond with them.
When I was on air today, I asked 101WKQX listeners to text into 312101 with their pre-teen/teen music origins. It was engaging to hear you all share your different beloved bands and how they shaped you. Trash Theory did a really fantastic job with this video essay about why My Chemical Romance is such an important band to the ’emo kids’ out there.
