Brian Ali and Justin are very thankful – KQX Crew Cuts
There’s a lot to be thankful for this year.
Here’s What the KQX Morning Crew is thankful for.
This guy made this hilarious sign while waiting for his wife at Target
No, he’s not homeless.
He’s just sick and tired of waiting around for his wife in the Target parking lot!
In her defense though, Target can suck you in. You go in looking for some baby wipes then all of a sudden your 2 hours deep looking at their great variety of drapes that are just so affordable!
Costco, and Ikea have similar effects on people as well.
Also, why not just go inside dude?
Watch a Wisconsin turkey chase a mail truck
It’s almost Thanksgiving and we were bound to get a couple of turkey related stories, but this one is a aggressive. A wild turkey got territorial with a mail truck recently in Wisconsin, chasing the truck from stop to stop. Of course someone filmed the whole thing.
Jeff Byrne, who works for the US Postal Service told UPI that the turkey has been chasing him in the area for over a month.
Dance Monkey induced goosebumps
Toni Watson, aka Tones and I made her US television debut performing (Justin’s favorite song) Dance Monkey on Fallon and received a standing ovation.
GOOSEBUMPS.

Wicker Park’s Jenny Doan is currently hula hooping to a Guiness World Record
Jenny Doan of Wicker Park is currently attempting to break the Guinness world record for hula hooping, which stands at 74 hours and 55 minutes, and raising money for Mental Health America (make a donation HERE.)
She is not just attempting to break the record, she wants to shatter it clocking in 100 hours of hula hooping at District Brewyards, 417 N. Ashland Ave. Jenny is planning to hit the 100-hour mark at 11 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 23.
Go Jenny Go!

DIBS! – KQX Crew Cuts
Brian called dibs on that mic! Get away from that!
Kyrie Irving dishes out money to Chicago kids
The Nets point guard is one of the most outlandish characters in the NBA. From implying the Earth is flat to his severe mood swings (that escalated greatly while the team was in China) are just a few of the crazy things that Irving has been caught up in recent years. In Chicago over the weekend, Irving was caught doing more bizarre behavior.
There’s nothing technically wrong with handing out $100 bills to the youth of Chicago, but it’s an awfully odd move. What did the kids do to get the money? Why did Kyrie have so much money with him at that time? It’s just strange. It’s very Kyrie.
Anyways, if he’d like to hand us some $100 bills, he knows where to find us.
Old Town Road is the best song of the decade
According to some! According to TIME Magazine, in particular, they have voted Old Town Road best song of the decade. There’s a part of us that wants to laugh this off. No song has ever exploded in the way that Old Town Road has. That song dominated multiple demographics and multiple charts. Old Town Road, in a strange way, defined contemporary culture better than anything else has.
Luckily, Paramore makes the list with their 2013 hit “Ain’t It Fun”. Other than that, the rest of this list is filled with songs that lack any real punch. You’d think STOLE headliner Twenty-One Pilots would get some love for “Stressed Out”, a video that has eclipsed over one billion views on YouTube, but alas, the mainstream drones have won out again.
The best halftime show we’ve ever seen
When you’re living in a city like New York or Chicago with a failing basketball franchise, often times the halftime show can make or break your in-game experience. Luckily for Knicks fans, and this is the only time we’ll ever be jealous of their fanbase, they witnessed what may as well be the most creative and clever halftime show of all-time.
An oversized white tee, a pair of Timbs, and a snapback to boot. This is New York culture at its finest, and it makes us want to see a Bulls implementation of this immediately. Throw on a pair of Jordan’s, an oversized coat, and a Cubs hat and get going, kids!
Tweet us at @101WKQX and let us know what things you’d include in a Chicago-themed halftime show.

The Black Keys play on Jimmy Kimmel Live
The Black Keys are on a big world tour off their recent album ‘Let’s Rock’, so they to keep the buzz going they played “Lo/Hi” and “Go” on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ last night. Let’s hope they swing through Chicago some time soon.
Watch The Stroke’s Julian Casablancas jam with the Raconteurs
The sound may not be great but man this looks like fun. Julian Casablancas of the Strokes surprised a crowd in Mexico City this week when he joined the Racoteaurs to play the Stokes hit ‘the Modern Age’. Yeah, Julian up with Jack White and the guys feels like a sweet add on to an already great show.
Watch Jack White and Brendan Benson of the Raconteurs when they play in the Lounge back in September.
The Raconteurs live in #TheLounge!
The Raconteurs live in #TheLounge before their set tonight at Riot Fest!

Robocalls hit record high in October
If you felt like you received an insane amount of robocalls last month, you weren’t imagining it. Numbers show we were flooded with a record 5.7 billion robocalls in October, which comes to more than 17 per person. As you can imagine, the record-setting number from last month is putting the U.S. on track for a banner year in robocalls overall. 49 billion robocalls have been tracked so far in 2019, which is more than all of last year.
Billie Eilish unveils kids fashion line
Billie Eilish lanched her own line of kids apparel yesterday: “blohsh.” What does the discerning Billie Eilish-appreciating toddler wear? Sweatshirts… shorts… onesies…
This politician is full of wind
People often say politicians are full of crap, but Rep. Eric Swalwell from California might have proved it live on national television.
OMFG SOUND ON pic.twitter.com/StziH3Yh49
— Andrew Lawrence (@ndrew_lawrence) November 19, 2019
You heard that correctly, that was a huge fart captured on political talk tv.
Eric shouldn’t feel too bad though, he kept his composure the entire time. He didn’t even flinch after the wind escaped his cheeks.
Finally, a politician just like you and me! Someone who isn’t afraid to rip an angry fart, just like the common man.
Who even cares about his policies, isn’t this enough for you!
Meth. We’re on it.
South Dakota has a really bad meth problem.
So bad that the governor had to create an entire campaign to try and combat it.
This is all a part of Governor Noem’s $4.6 million budget to combat the meth problem in the state.
While the meaning behind the campaign is all good, the name is… concerning
South Dakota has launched a campaign to combat meth.

Is South Dakota OK? https://t.co/mKfEXQeW9U
— Jennifer Brooks (@stribrooks) November 18, 2019
I think the problem is that the message is falling flat, it isn’t getting people’s attention fast enough. But with one tiny punctuation change, the campaign takes on a whole new meaning and is sure to grab anyone’s attention.
Meth! We’re on it!!
Twitter is the reason Oasis is not reuniting?
With the recent reunions of beloved alternative bands like My Chemical Reunion and Rage Against the Machine, you think the next act to come back would be Oasis,a band who has been one of the biggest rock bands to come out of England in the last 25 years. The band lead by brother Liam and Noel Gallagaher have publicly feuded for years with widespread speculation of if they could mend fences and get back together for a show or two. There has also been reports of huge offers from concert promoters to get the brothers back on stage, only for the bitterness to continue for the world to see. And now it’s been made clear by one of the Gallaghers, that Twitter may be the reason why the reunion may not ever happen.
“He’d put his whole life on hold to get Oasis back together.” Noel said in a recent interview with Big Issue., “But every tweet he sends out, it’s another nail in the coffin of that idea. If you think for one minute I am going to share a stage with you after what you’ve said, you are fucking more of a moron than you look.”
So today we get new tweets from Liam.
So news reaches me from a far that team NG are trying to get me shut down on twitter coz they don’t like my tweets did dums good luck you little fart c’mon you know LG x
