Brazzers made a musical
You read that right, Brazzers made a musical.
And it was clean enough to put on YouTube!
You know what…
It has all the elements of a good musical.
It tells a story, has a catchy tune, not bad.
What do you think? Do porn companies need to start making more songs?
The answer is yes.

Respect your elders, you hooligans.
Woman fined for befriending deer with snacks
A Colorado woman is being fined for luring a wild deer into her living room using treats.
It’s sad because you can tell that this woman cares for the deer, she uses nicknames!
He just wants some snacks!!!
The maximum penalty the ‘offender’ faces is a $100 fine.
APPARENTLY, it is dangerous to feed wild animals, but if the deer is in the house… is it still a wild animal?
Foo Fighters finish new album & get in the van
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.
According to Consequence of Sound, Grohl said the following:
“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,
“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.”
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’.
Relive the greatest slam dunk contest ever
With the NBA All Star Game in town this weekend, NBC Sports Chicago deep a dive to when Bulls legend Michael Jordan faced off Dominique Wilkins in the what many believe was the greatest slam dunk contest of all time. In 1988, both legends deliver powerful racking off the backboard, graceful aerial execution into the net, and just both players showing off at the old Chicago Stadium. Who really won the contest?

We need to model ourselves after him, gain his type of confidence.

Eat more flies, live your best life kid!
Jussie Smollett indicted by Chicago special prosecutor
Remember last year, when we tried to figure out who the biggest piece of garbage in Chicago was?
Jussie Smollett was a one seed in the bracket… truly hated!
Our favorite garbage human is back in the spotlight this morning, and no… it’s not because he did something cool.
He’s being indicted on six counts of disorderly conduct and is accused of lying to the CPD.
They’re gonna get him one of these days…
Keep up the great work Jussie! You’re doing great sweety.
You can Uber now with your pets in Chicago
You can Uber with your pets. The stories this will produce will be ridiculous right?The Chicago Tribune says the new service will cost you an additioanl $6 and a spokesperson for Uber says you can select the Pet option in app as it is now.
Now what if you drive for Uber and you don’t want a Great Dane taking up real estate in your backseat, you can opt out. Uber did announce that drivers will get most of the surcharge for pets though.
Here is a local news report from Boston where they also have Uber for pets.
Chicago: Coldest temps since the polar vortex this week
Well we got a light winter for the most part so far, so when it gets ugly we can’t say we were not surprised right? This Wednesday into Thursday, the greater Chicago area is expected to get blasted with windy snow and coldest temps since last year’s dreaded polar vortex. Wednesday will wet snow falling throughout the night into Thursday morning with temps as low as mid-upper teens by evening, then subzero most areas overnight. The negative numbered cold continues into Friday.
Let’s hope it doesn’t get as bad as last year. Here is a reminder.
Let’s just hope we get boil pots of water and turn them into mist as is the tradition.
MLB could make massive changes to the playoffs
ESPN is reporting today some literal game-changing possibilities in Major League Baseball with potential expansion of teams getting into the playoffs going from 10 to 14 and more drastic moves. It’s worth noting these moves are not confirmed, and the player’s association would have to agree to the terms. Could this help our White Sox and Cubs make it into the post-season?
If this new scnario was to play out three division winners and four wild-card teams would make the postseason starting in 2022. The team with the best record in the league would get a bye into the division series. The two remaining division winners and the wild-card team with the best record of the four would each host all games of a best-of-three series in the opening round.
ESPN also reported these additional changes which would involve certain voting on who their playoff opponent would be:
- The division winner with the second-best record would select its wild-card opponent from the three wild-card winners not hosting a series.
- The division winner with the worst record would then choose its opponent from the remaining two wild-card teams.
- The final matchup would pit the wild-card winner with the best record against the wild-card team not yet chosen.
- The teams chosen in this situation would be announced on live TV on the final Sunday of the regular season.
Sports insiders feel these changes are being proposed to keep lower ranking teams from purposely ‘tanking’ to get draft picks the following season, increase fan interest in more teams, and hopefully bring up attendance in late stages of the season.
