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.
We’re going to get the first album from The Strokes in seven years —- soon. Not right NOW. But if you’ve waited THIS long, you can wait until April 10th to hear what the band has in store for you with The New Abnormal. Look! Billy Idol got a writing credit for one of the songs! And you can check out one of the first songs we’ve heard from the LP — “At The Door.” (You don’t have to wait for that. You can just click play below) —- [eric]
At its peak in 2018, over two million people signed on at once to play HQ Trivia. Two years later, its all over.
With HQ we showed the world the future of TV. We didn’t get to where we hoped but we did stretch the world’s imagination for what’s possible on our smartphones. Thanks to everyone who helped build this and thanks for playing.
The CEO of the parent company of the live game-show app says they were close to locking in new investors, but could not continue on after the deal fell through. Which is a simplified, sanitized version of what TechCrunch claims really lead to the failure. 25 staffers have lost their jobs in the shut down…and as you can see below, had one last final ride — which included champagne showers, plenty of four letter words, and threats to poop on trolls hanging out in the chat room.
Hopefully you’ve had a chance to pull out that $0.76 you won. — [eric]
The NBA All Star Game is in town tonight at the United Center with thousands of people flying into town with pricey tickets for the big showdown. I got to talk to our resident awkward sports dude and overzealous Cubs fan ‘Eddie Vedder’ of Pearl Jam gave me some insight on the big game and how 90’s Bulls legend Dennis Rodman should be involved.
There is nothing worse than someone laying in your lap on a plane, but is this necessary dude?
@BravoAndy Here’s a great jackhole! He was angry that I reclined my seat and punched it about 9 times – HARD, at which point I began videoing him, and he resigned to this behavior. The other jackhole is the @AmericanAir flight attendant who reprimanded me and offered him rum! pic.twitter.com/dHeUysrKTu
You know what, this is really the airline’s fault for allowing their seats to recline far enough back to literally look up the nose of the person behind you.
Lock those puppies in place and we won’t have jerks like this punching a nice lady’s seat.
Utah police were a little surprised when they found a woman with her pants down, holding a baby on the street.
She might have been just as surprised though…
A 29 Y/O female left her residence to get a pizza, she was returning home and stopped to go to the bathroom. Residents heard the female calling for help & discovered she had given birth to a baby on the sidewalk outside their apartment. Female and baby were transported to IMC

So many huge moves are being made in alternative music this year with the Red Hot Chili Peppers bringing back John Frusciante, My Chemical Romance launching a massive reunion tour, and now it looks another big time player has something in store for 2020. Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters confirmed on the Bill Simmons Podcast that his band has finished recording their latest album.
“We just finished making a record. Some of those songs, the best ones happen in 45 minutes. Then there’s other songs — there’s a riff on the new record I’ve been working on for 25 years. The first time I demoed it was in my basement in Seattle.”
On top of that, Grohl revealed his latest documentary project will dig into the hard knock life of band touring in a van. The yet-to=be titled doc will feature members of Metallica, U2, and Guns ‘n Roses remarking on their early risky days in their music careers and how challenging it can be,

Grohl previously worked on the docuseries ‘Sonic Highways’ for HBO that focused on the Foos touring different music centric cities to record their 2015 album. The first episode featured the band crafted what I might say is their best song an anthem to our beloved Chicago, ‘Something from Nothing’.
