October 24, 2019 | jnettlebeck

We’ve never seen anything quite this heartwarming. A seven-year-old in Brazil with cerebral palsy was built this skate contraption by Skate Anima in Brazil and his badass mother helped him shred around their local skatepark.

This is simply incredible. If that didn’t satisfy your good vibes for the day, here’s one more,

This is the kind of joy and happiness that we should all strive for every day.

Will David Ross be the next Cubs manager?

While the contract hasn\’t been finalized yet, the Cubs are reportedly hiring catcher David Ross as their next manager.

Cubs President Theo Epstein told the Chicago Tribune, “It’s an obvious goal, but we want to make sure the players we have, we’re developing them and creating an environment where they can continue to grow and thrive. If we have players who can be successful major-league players, we have to find a way to make it here.”

After numerous interviews with former managers and current coaches, they appear to have landed on Ross. Though he doesn\’t have any formal manager experience on his resume, he\’s demonstrated his leadership skills throughout his career.

Sign a 40-page waiver to ENTER this haunted house

October 23, 2019 | jnettlebeck

McKamey Manor in Summertown, Tennessee is ground zero for scary scenarios this Halloween season. The scariest haunted house in the world requires a sports physical, a background check, and a 40-page waiver to even enter the park

Owner Russ McKamey notes that the price of admission is relatively cheap, but finishing the thrill ride nets you $20,000. This year, the visitors must watch a two-hour video called “And Then There Were None” which details how no one has ever been able to finish the park.

We at the KQX Morning Crew volunteer to send Justin to McKamey Manor. Not only do we think he can survive, but we think he might like it there. He might even volunteer to live there once he’s done with the haunted house.

If You Could Eat Like a Kid for a Full Day, What Would You Eat?

October 22, 2019 | Tim Virgin

Remember when you were young, and that extra cupcake DIDN’T go straight to your thighs or gut? 2,000 people were asked what they’d eat if they could “eat like a kid” for a whole day with no consequences.

And here’s what the average American’s full day of kid meals would look like: We’d start out with yogurt for breakfast . . . followed by pizza for lunch . . . ice cream as a mid-day snack… pizza AGAIN for dinner . . . then apple pie for dessert.

Yes, the average person would have pizza TWICE.

The breakfast foods with the most votes were yogurt . . . bacon-egg-and-cheese sandwiches . . . and ice cream.

For lunch, the top choices were pizza . . . fried chicken . . . and burgers.
and for dinner, the foods with the most votes were pizza . . . fried chicken . . . and spaghetti and meatballs.

Ice cream, chips, and fries are our top snacks. And our top desserts are apple pie, milkshakes, and chocolate chip cookies.

Where are cops hiding? Google Maps can tell you.

October 22, 2019 | JVO

Police aren’t too happy with Google since it decided to roll out traffic/navigation app Waze on Google Maps. Waze has long been criticized by law enforcement for allowing app users to report where police are located. Waze users share info on car wrecks, traffic jams, lane closures and more, but police worry that the tool will enable crime like theft and drunk-driving, since criminals would know which areas to avoid. Others say this will lead to more transparency between police and communities.

Joker is laughing to bank with box-office records

October 21, 2019 | Tim Virgin

Despite  all the controversy over it’s depiction of mental health and reported of fear around screenings, ‘Joker’ is becoming the most successful R-rated movie of all time.  With current estimates, IGN is reporting that the DC Comics inspired film starring Joaquin Phoenix will pass up 2016’s Deadpool that earned $783 million in world ticket sales. That’s a lot of money considering the film has not been out that long, too. Also factor in the Oscar buzz around Phoenix’s performance, it’s a good time to be the bad guy.

Todd Phillips who was known for directing raunchy comedies, really delivered with this film’s dark take on a previously established character. In this video, he breaks down the opening scene and how it came together to create a specific vibe to build to later in the movie.

Watch this if you hated watching the Bears yesterday

October 21, 2019 | jnettlebeck

It’s not easy being a Bears fan right now, we’ll just leave it at that. There’s a lot going wrong and a lot that doesn’t seem like it’s going to be fixed anytime soon. Luckily, there was this:

Cordarrelle Patterson ran this kickoff back for a much-needed touchdown. His 102-yard run was captured by the beautiful sky-cam and his sprint to the end zone gave us all the spark of joy that we needed yesterday.

Alabama man run over by ATV with dog behind the wheel

October 21, 2019 | jnettlebeck

A man in Alabama parked his four-wheeler over the weekend and tied his dog’s leash to the handlebars. The dog naturally decided to get up and move, which caused his leash to get tangled around the controls which sent the ATV directly into the dog’s owner.

The highway was briefly closed as the man had to be airlifted to a nearby hospital.
