Seriously though, this is a hilarious meeting of two absolute strangers, kind of restores my faith in humanity.

Even bookies feel bad for Bears fans
The Bears came into the NFL season with an enormous amount of hype. After overachieving last year, mainly thanks to a dynamite defense, the team had Super Bowl hopes at the start of the year, and a few very delusional people had hopes of a Mitch Trubisky MVP-caliber season.
-Trubisky for MVP: Trick
-PointsBet Refunding Trubisky MVP Bettors: Treat@erinkatedolan speaks with @VSiNLive Host @mlombardiNFL about the Bears QB ghosting MVP bettors (our highest liability)! Thankfully, the Karma Kommittee stepped in on Halloween!🎃 pic.twitter.com/SafEdHa8JZ

Well, that hasn’t happened.
In fact, the Bears and their quarterback have been so bad that PointsBet Sportsbook has refunded those that put money down on Trubisky for MVP. When gamblers don’t want your money, you know something horrible has happened.
This Imagine Dragons backyard concert rocks
Imagine Dragons frontman Dan Reynolds was trick or treating last weekend when a garage band in Las Vegas noticed him walking by, as Imagine Dragons have been Vegas royalty of sorts. Anyways, the garage band kindly asked Reynolds to jam with them, and Reynolds obliged, busting out an acoustic version of their 2013 hit, ‘Radioactive’.
You can check out the impromptu concert here.
This is as good as it gets. Props to Dan Reynolds for being the coolest rockstar on the block, and props to the garage band, known as Streetfolkband, for stepping up to the plate in such a big moment.
This dog can talk!
Stella is the dog that can talk!
Her owner is a speech-language pathologist who has created a way for dogs to talk.
This, in the simplest terms possible, is epic. We hope to see more of Stella soon!

Does McDonald’s food decompose?
Iceland is one of the few Western countries in the world that currently does not have a McDonald’s. They did at one point, about a decade ago, but when they announced that they were shutting down the nation’s Mickey D’s, a man decided that he needed to buy the last meal that anyone in the country could get at the restaurant. For 10 years, he’s had McDonald’s sitting there, waiting for nature to take its course.
“I had heard that McDonald’s never decomposed so I just wanted to see if it was true or not.”
The burger now sits inside of the Snotra House, which as we all know is a hostel inside of Thykkvibaer in southern Iceland.
Man stabbed to death over Popeyes Chicken Sandwich
A Maryland man was stabbed to death yesterday after apparently getting into an argument at a Popeyes Chicken restaurant. The 28-year-old victim was in line to get the popular re-released chicken sandwich when he got into an argument with another man who cut in line. The argument spilled out into the street where the man was stabbed. First responders on the scene tried to save the man as he was transported to the hospital; he was pronounced dead on arrival. “For you to get that angry over anything … and to develop into this type of violence, again, is a very sad and tragic day,” said Prince George’s County Police spokeswoman Jennifer Donelan. Police are still searching for the suspect and are asking those who were at the Popeyes to come forward with any information.
Tattoo your eyes & go permanently blind!
Body modifications are super popular right now, but would you be willing to risk your eyesight to look cool?
Well, this Australian tattoo model took that risk, and surprise surprise, it didn’t go well.
She went blind for three weeks after the ink injections! That is terrifying!
In her defense though, her blue eyes do look pretty cool.
Maybe just stick to colored contacts, at least that’s my medical opinion.

McDonald’s CEO loses job over his Big Mac
Steve Easterbrook, the now-former McDonald’s CEO, was raking in a salary of $15.9 million dollars a year. All he had to do was keep his nose to the grindstone and not violate any company policies. Unfortunately for Easterbrook, he violated one major policy, that of having a relationship with a fellow coworker.
The relationship was consensual, and that’s all we know as McDonald’s declined to provide any more details on Easterbrook and the anonymous staffer that he nibbled on like a nugget.
Chicago’s got a green thumb!
