The KQX Morning Crew has an abundance of tickets to give away this morning and we want to give them to you…under one condition. We need you to create chaos if you want these tickets!
This week, Catfish and the Bottleman and Lumineers tickets are on the line.
If you’re at home, bang pots and pans to wake up your family. If you’re in your car, honk your horn for at least five seconds. If you’re listening to us at work, stand up and shout “God bless the baby!” in your office.
You can do almost anything, just be sure to create chaos.
Listen to the KQX Morning Crew from 6-10am to find out when we’re taking calls for chaos.
Brian and Justin convince Ali to call the guy she’s been talking to and wish him a happy National Boyfriend Day. Obviously, he was thrilled about the call.
It would appear that electronic billboards don’t have incognito tabs. The fine folks of Auburn Hills, Michigan found that out the hard way when an electronic billboard showed graphic pornography a few days ago.
So apparently someone was playing porn on a billboard off I-75…

The Auburn Hills Police Lieutenant noted that the video only streamed on the billboard for about 20 minutes, but many would argue that any time at all was too much. We do have to wonder what those 911 calls sounded like, though, as the police force received numerous calls about the incident.
Perhaps they sounded something like what resident Chuck McMahon had to say to a Detroit radio station. When asked, he noted, “I was just looking up at it and I was like, ‘Huh, oh, wow. That’s porn.”

Imagine living through two World Wars, 18 presidents, and seven moon landings only to be hounded by your cable company after you had already passed away.
This sad scenario became a reality for the family of Isabel Albright. Her caregiver was spending so much time around Albright towards the end of her life that they got her a DirecTV subscription. Little did they know that this locked Albright, whom’s name is on the contract, into a two year deal with the cable provider.
Now the TV company expects her family to pay up, despite the fact that Albright has passed on.
This is seriously messed up. For God’s sake, she was alive before TV was even invented!
Have you ever wondered why the Foo Fighters have been around so long?
Taylor Hawkins, the drummer for the Foo Fighters, revealed their secret process to longevity.
He explained there are two types of band mentalities. One is where there is a faux democracy style where everyone gets a say… usually ending in a breakup, and then there is their style, having one central leader to get behind.
Dave Grohl is unsurprisingly the leader of this group. He makes sure that everyone is taken care of. THis includes getting the band PAID!
Maybe it’s because he still rakes in the Nirvana checks, or maybe he just cares for his boys. Either way, Grohl is not greedy when it comes to money. All of the members of the Foo Fighters are doing very, and I can’t stress this enough, VERY well.
There are only a few more chances to see Catfish and The Bottleman LIVE this Saturday at the Aragon Ballroom!
Don’t fret though! Brian, Ali, and Justin have got you covered.
Today and tomorrow the KQX Morning Crew will be giving away the few remaining tickets left for the show.
All you have to do is listen from 6-10 a.m. today and Friday for your chance to go to the show!
I like beer … but now I can LOVE BEER! Chocolate makes everything better and this collaboration between two Pennsylvania giants , Hershey and Yuengling, may just create heaven in a pint glass.
Since we cant buy it here in Chicago does anyone want to drive to Indiana and grab a couple of cases with me? – Tim Virgin

The lions at the Bronx Zoo received an unexpected visitor on Tuesday in an effort to gain clout from The Gram.
This is possibly the riskiest clout-chasing attempt we’ve ever seen. We are firm believers in living your life “do it for the Gram” style, but this feels like too much. Although no arrests were made, the Bronx Zoo warned people that these actions were life-threatening and that no one should ever encroach on an animal’s habitat.
We do hope that this is the last time we see someone try something like this, because 10 times out of 10, a lion is going to win when being combative with a human. Those are undeniable odds. Please, just trust us on that.
This problem has plagued us all in the past. It’s something seemingly so innocent and naive, but it’s devastatingly real and painful when it happens to you. Case the Intern has a crush on a girl in his class, but he’s not sure if she likes him back.
Case the Intern is normally a confident guy, but he’s been rattled ever since his last relationship ended. He’s afraid of just asking her out because he doesn’t know if he can handle the rejection.
Let us know what you think Case the Intern should do. Tweet us at @101WKQX with your best relationship advice for our young stallion.
One in seven people have a zombie apocalypse plan. These are the times we’re living in, and we can’t say we blame them.
Luckily for them, a town in North Carolina is holding a “zombie survival” event this month to let people practice for the zombie apocalypse we know we’ll all face someday.
That event is more for fun than actual zombie survival practice, but still, one in seven! That’s 14% of Americans that are supposedly prepared for the zombie apocalypse if it comes. That’s 24% of millennials, 15% of Gen Xers, 6% of baby boomers, and 100% of crazy people.
Post Malone might be a little weird. Now we’re not a big Post Malone, but we respect that he acknowledges his influences on a consistent basis. From Nirvana to Metallica, Post has always been sure to shoutout those that came before him.
His covers may have peaked over the weekend in Detroit when he joined a local band to play Sublime’s ‘Santeria’. Nothing stands up to the original, obviously, but this cover does Bradley Nowell proud.
Malone rocks and we salute him.
Ahoy! The KQX Morning Crew is looking to decorate our offices, but we only want to do it with art from our most passionate listeners.
We know that our Crew Members have some great talent! We want to put it on display for everyone to see!!!
Take a pic of your masterpiece and Tweet us at @101WKQX with #Ahoy and let us know what you come up with.
All submissions will be contacted with shipping information.
XOXO – Brian, Ali, and Justin <3

An elementary school in Evanston decided to cancel all Halloween activities within the school due to a lack of inclusivity.
The KQX Morning Crew decided to get to the bottom of this and called the school themselves.
Give that man a raise! <3 Lauren
Heather from Bellwood called in for some advice about how to potty train her son.
Her husband thinks they should, in her words, lock him in the bathroom and teach him to go like a man.
We had to get to the bottom of it so we called up the husband and asked him what he meant by this…
He was not too happy to talk to Brian, Ali, and Justin.
Who’s in the wrong here? Maybe both of them.
Let us know what you think on Twitter and Facebook!
