Relationship Court: How to escape the friend zone

An end zone is 10 yards long and 53 yards wide. ESPN’s ill-fated dining experience, The ESPN Zone, lasted for nearly 20 years ago. There is no measurable distance for how long the friend zone can stretch or how long it will last, all that’s known for certain is that the friend zone will trap us at least once in our lifetime. 

Wednesday’s relationship court caller, Nick from Jefferson Park started a new job recently and immediately struck up conversation with a coworker. Nick asked his coworker to hangout, and the coworker said he’d love to if his boyfriend could come. Nick took the hint and backed off. 

Flash forward some time, Nick’s coworker and his boyfriend went through a breakup and the coworker is back on the market. 

Nick wants to know the best way to break out of the friend zone, and when he should make his move. 

If you have advice for Nick, let him know by reaching out to us on Twitter or Facebook with the hashtag #RelationshipCourt or text into us at 312-101.

Marriage are declining and it’s men’s fault!

 

A new study by the National Council on Family Relation’s Journal of Marriage and Family shows that marriage rates may be down because prospective husbands cannot provide enough financial security for their partner.

As the KQX Morning Crew began dissecting the validity of this survey, our ship’s captain, Brian, revealed that he and his girlfriend of two years have no idea how much the other one makes.

That raises the question, is it important to discuss this information with their partner? Do you know how much your partner makes and if you don’t, are you okay with that? Let us know on Twitter or Facebook or text us at 312-101.

Wedgie gets swimmer disqualified

There’s a high school swimming controversy in Alaska after a state swimming champion had a win taken away – because she had a wedgie. Anchorage School District officials disqualified the girl, a 17-year-old state champion, for violating modesty requirements due to a ‘suit wedgie’ which did not fully cover her buttocks. The girl’s suit was a school-issued uniform, just like her teammates wore. One coach said the swimmer is being punished for her athletic physique and that most competitive swimsuits don’t cover the buttocks.  The school says it’s investigating the situation.

Wendy’s finally brings breakfast to the menu

Where do you go when you just absolutely need a burger? When it’s 95 degrees out and you only have a dollar in your pocket for a cold treat. When it’s Sunday and you can’t get a chicken sandwich from Chick-fil-A?

That’s right, Wendy’s.

But there’s one thing us consumers could never turn to Wendy’s for. Delicious, greasy, heartburn inducing fast food breakfast… Well, that is until now!

Wendy’s announced in a news release that they are rolling out a brand new breakfast menu in 2020.

The menu will include new items such as a Breakfast Baconator, a Frosty- ccino, and a Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit.

Get excited because you know this new breakfast is going to be fresh… never frozen.

Has Chicago become the holiest city on Earth?

Step aside Jerusalem, Mecca, and Vatican City. Chicago is the new holiest city in the world.

When financial problems almost forced Holy Trinity Church, a Chicago Greek Orthodox church, to close it’s doors something happened that some would consider to be a miracle.

A portrait of the Virgin Mary that decorates the walls at the church began to “weep” which has attracted the attention of people from all faiths.

Is a miracle headed for Chicago? I guess only time will tell.

Who’s the biggest “D” you know?

The roommate who never does their dishes, the landlord who never gets around to fixing the drain, or the father in-law who just can’t accept that his precious little girl isn’t wasting her life on some loser scumbag.

We all know that one D-bag who just get’s the blood boiling inside.

Though, Odell Beckham Jr may have taken the crown for D-bag of the year on Sunday during his debut game with the Cleveland Browns.

That’s right, Beckham was sporting a $300,000 dollar watch during a football game!!!!

Stylish, of course, that’s a great looking watch. But that is such a D-bag move.

That raises the question however… Who’s the biggest D-bag you know?

Spending spree sends couple to the slammer

Do you dream of money randomly turning up in your bank account? For one Pennsylvania couple, that dream became a reality in May as a bank accidentally deposited $120,000 into their bank account. 

Robert and Tiffany Williams, the couple who received the accidental payday, spent two and a half weeks blowing through the six-figure surprise thanks to a new SUV, two four-wheelers, and a camper among other things.

On June 20th, the bank contacted the couple and told the couple that they owed $107,000 in overdraft charges. The couple was promptly arrested on felony theft charges and  released on a $25,000 bail.
