Anderson Cooper goes OFF on Rod Blagojevich
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.

What do the kids say? Oh yah, BODIED!
Anderson Cooper is a legend for this one!
This kid heard his parents doing the dirty
5 half court shots in a row!
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.
Tyson Fury wanted to taste blood
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.
Flat Earth theorist dies in home made rocket
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]

How old were you when you discovered your favorite band?
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.
NFL wants more playoff teams, Players not a fan of it
The NFL and the NFL Players Association are currently trying to hammer out a collective bargaining agreement which includes some massive changes to the league of leagues.

Jennifer Anniston and other cast members confirmed the news on Instagram with the following image.

Wow these are some garbage tattoos!
Tattoos are cool, and they can represent a lot of things to a person, But Moby may have been a little too on the nose with his fresh ink.

IKEA, the #1 vacation spot
Natalia Taylor, an Instagram influencer who has over three hundred thousand followers, went on a pretty sick vacation to Bali Indonesia.
OR DID SHE.
No, she didn’t, we already said she faked these pics at an IKEA. But it was on purpose!
Here is why she decided to do fake some vacay pics.
She wants people to learn not to trust everything they see on the internet. Which is great advice.
Except here, always trust what you see here.
McDonald’s scented candles
You know what makes a really romantic night?
Candles.
They set the mood of a room, and the scents can influence how you feel.
McDonald’s wants you to feel hungry.

Wow… that’s so, gross.
Grab your favorite scent, like, beef, ketchup, or cheese.
Why is this a thing, what has become of humanity?
Guy quits job by singing a dirty song
This clip went viral and boy is it a gem. Sometimes you work a job that you don’t like with a boss who is really mean, and you fantasize about making a big scene when you quit it all for a better gig. Well take that vibe and put it to song! That’s just what happened here in this video that was shared by Funny or Die, where a coffees shop employee plays to a delightful foul mouth ditty about how his boss treated him bad so he’s out. Anesti Danelis was not having it anymore, and he made something special out of it. You got to appreciate how he added reasoning into the song about why he’s doing this.
Be aware, there is some naughty words in this. Also remember this when you some stressed out making your extra venti carmel frap whatever.
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.
