Walter White and eight gang members were on the scene. The news report seems to confirm what we already assumed…
Relationship Court: Can a one night stand help this marriage?
This woman has recently reentered the workforce after having a baby. Unfortunately, when she was six months pregnant, her husband decided to cheat on her.
Now that she’s back, and hotter than ever before, she feels like getting back at her dirtbag husband. She wants no part in any extramarital relationship, she just wants a one-time fling to get even.
Let us know on Twitter or Facebook what you think this lady should do. Is it time for her to smash or does she need to stay loyal despite her husband’s actions?

There’s a proper way to break this down.
Twix is the young, hot single. Twix stays in the pack because it’s the freshest, most desirable out of the group. Any other take is the wrong one.
Snickers is an old, reliable favorite. It still has some spark and pizazz after all these years. Nothing fills a void quite like a truck stop Snickers in the midst of a long, endless road trip. Snickers in any size, shape, or form, is an incredibly tasty way to spend your time and energy.
Reese’s and M&M’s are middle of the pack candies. They work best when you’re in the exact mood to eat one of them. Reese’s is arguably better in the white chocolate variety, but the milk chocolate option is still incredibly strong. M&M’s can tend to be stale when placed into the rectangular party bags, but I still like my chances with them.
That leaves Kit Kat and Milky Way. To us, this is a no-brainer. Ditch the Milky Way and move on with your day. There is a crispy crunch to the Kit Kat that only Chance the Rapper can properly describe.
Let us know where you stand. Tweet us at 101WKQX with #Ahoy and let us know which of these candies has to go.
SUV drives through Woodfield Mall like it’s an action movie
Sometimes walking through the mall is a drag. The lines, the crowd, and the overall experience can be a brutal way to spend your hard-earned free time and money. We don’t know how to fix that, we just know that driving your SUV through the mall is not the way to go.
Police arrived on the scene around 2:30 pm on Friday afternoon. The man was detained by mall patrons and then arrested on the scene. Schaumburg police chief Bill Wolf said, “There is no indication that this incident is related to any type of terrorist act.”
Here’s $1,000: Now stop drinking Starbucks
The American consulting firm Business.org, which uses its efforts to aid small businesses, is offering $1,000 a month to “self-professed Starbucks junkies” who will be tasked with visiting at least eight local coffee shops in a month.
We’re more concerned with anyone that describes themselves as a “Starbucks junkie” or anything of the sort. That’s a tough way to introduce yourself, describe yourself, or think about yourself. We hope that the money is worth it if you decide to paint yourself as such.
Also, for the self-proclaimed “Starbucks junkies,” you can apply to get paid to sip coffee here!

Blink 182 – I Really Wish I Hated You
On the 15th anniversary of American Idiot, Green Day drops latest music video.
The new Green Day music video is here. It’s full of what I will call — high energy clips ⚡ — all while the band plays “Father Of All…” in front of 24 silhouetted figures. (FUN FACT: you can clam to your friends that YOU, are in fact, one of those figures. Who is going to be able to prove you wrong anyways? IT’S JUST A BUNCH OF SHADOWY FIGURES.)
Green Day released this video one day shy of the 15th anniversary of American Idiot — the “punk rock opera” album that has become the band’s signature contributions to alternative. I think 16 million copies sold, a Broadway musical, and an upcoming feature film adaptation backs that claim up, no?
Also upcoming is a Green Day return to Wrigley Field in August 2020. They will team up with Fall Out Boy and Weezer for the Hella Mega Tour — tickets are onsale now or you can try to win them here. — [eric]

Serengeti remixes the Chicago classic ‘Dennehy’ for da Bulls
The Chicago Bulls teamed with viral video sensation Seregeti who rapped his way into every Chicago’s beef-clogged heart with his anthem to our beloved culture with ‘Denney . Well, he did a fresh spin on track with a Bulls focus hilarious referencing Bulls greats Ron Harper, Bob Love, and Scottie Pippen. Share this with video with any of your friends who have a mustache deeper than a deep dish.
Here is the original.
Stream Foo Fighters new live album recorded near Area 51
The Foo Fighters on-going archival recording series continued with a release this week of performance at the Walker Air Force Base in Rosewell, New Mexico. Yes, right by Area 51 the secretive government facility which has been in the news a lot recently with silly faux raids planned by internet meme groups. These performances come from June 2005 when the band was supporting the album ‘In Your Honor’ and features them rolling through the title track of that album plus classics like ‘Monkey Wrench’ and deeper cuts like ‘Free Me’ and ‘Stacked Actors’.
Stream it above from the band’s official YouTube account. The album is also available on Spotify and other streaming services.
The White Stripes final show is now available online
Jack White and Brendan Benson of the Raconteurs played the 101WKQX Lounge on Sept 15, 2019. Watch it above.
In 2007, one of the most beloved duos in all of rock music, the White Stripes played their final show together at the Snowden Grove amphitheater near the border between Mississippi and Tennessee. The show was memorable for a reason the audience would not understand as it was not known at the time that this would be Meg and Jack White’s last big show together. They would officially announce their break-up in 2011. Third-Man Records issued the 24 song set online through their online archive, nugs.net for $10.
Consequence of Sound reported this week on the surprise release, speaking to Third-Man Records archivist Ben Blackwell who was in attendance for the show. He found out shortly it would be the Stripe’s last stand shortly before they took the stage. “Meg said to me, ‘I think this is the last White Stripes show.’ Confused, I responded ‘Well, yeah, last show of this leg of the tour.’ She replied ‘No… I think this is the last White Stripes show ever,’ and slowly walked away.” says Blackwell.
The White Stripes did perform a few more times sporadically, including this moving 2009 rendition of “W Are Going To Be Friends” on the last episode of Conan O’Brien’s run on ‘Late Nite’.
The story of getting the pair back together for this single song performance was pretty interesting. O’Brien recounted this wild story in this animated video from 2017.
Bikers crash lemonade stand with positivity
Bikers never forget those that have wronged them. Luckily, they also remember those who have done right by them.
In September 2018, Daryn Sturch and her young daughter, Bryanne, pulled up to an accident involving multiple motorcycles. Sturch acted as a first responder and took care of the injuries riders until they were airlifted from the scene.
Now, the bikers are back, healed up, and ready to pound some lemonade.
The lemonade stand was being run by Bryanne Sturch, who a year prior had watched her mother save lives.
We guarantee this is the cutest post you’ll see all day.
The Area 51 Storm is Happening Now.
Months of memes, planning, and campaigning have led to this. Days after Tom Delonge dropped the unidentified flying object bombshell on America, the storm has begun.
Despite numerous warnings from Nevada officials, the raid is on and it is real.

This is the greatest invention ever created
Take a seat and hear us out. This idea will change humanity for the better.
At some point during our daily grind, we need to sit. There’s nothing worse than looking for a chair. Whether it be in the cafeteria, in the office, or in an unfamiliar area. Don’t be that person with that dumb, where-do-I-sit-face that is forcibly etched across anyone’s face when they don’t know where to sit.
This invention fixes all of that.

Is Arlington Racecourse heading into its last lap?
Arlington International Racecourse may be closing for good. The Daily Herald reports that Churchill Downs Inc., which owns Arlington, has only days left to prove “it’s committed to racing at the Arlington Heights track beyond 2021.”
The Illinois Racing Board is holding a hearing on September 24. They want Churchill Downs to seek a casino license that would allow money made from slots and table games to be shared with horse racing purses.
