When the UK, you homage to one of the country’s best. Twenty-One Pilots did just that recently at the famed Reading Festival where they covered Oasis’s emotive anthem ‘Don’t Look Back in Anger’.
Just listen to that crowd sing a long with every word. It’s really magical. It was also clever for Tyler Joseph to add the line “don’t put your faith in a two piece band”.
TOP’s set also included a fun bit where the security detail up front was prompted to dance for everyone watching on the giant screens next to the stage. Let’s just some of them should stick to their jobs, but we still shake our butts in their company.
So yeah, @twentyonepilots dancing security detail is cooler than yours.

Watch Mojo delivered this gem of a video this weekend with a look into the Top 20 fails from local TV news shows from around the country. Whether it’s a dog interrupting a green-screen weather report or Chicago’s own Andy Shaw asking for a mic on a live report from the Democratic National Convention, there is something quite entertaining about watching live local news miss their story with comedic results.
Another Chicago TV news faux paw makes the list and it’s laugh-out-loud bad,
Good thing they’ve got something on deck, because I’m almost done with Mindhunter Season 2.
A Jesse Pinkman-focused “Breaking Bad” movie now has a title and release date, as of today.
You can check out “El Camino – A Breaking Bad Movie” on Netflix October 11th. Let Skinny Pete set up what the story is going to be all about with this teaser trailer below. — [eric]
Internet Today is just a goldmine of the weird, hilarious, and alternative takes in the upside down world we live in. This week’s episode of ‘Weekly Weird News’ from the Youtube smart-asses shared the tale of nature striking back at a community of wealthy mansions in Florida. Yes, the state where their best export is out-there news stories like this one.
A community in Palm Beach has been overwhelmed by a groups of vultures taking over backyards and pools. The Palm Beach Post reported on a couple who purchased a $702,000 home near a country club, only to find out it was buzzing with buzzards. The large birds apparently vomit as a defense option and leave quite the smell around them in process because they eat mostly rotting flesh.
The IT boys also revealed to us that Texas may have accidentally legalized weed.
Internet Today turned us on to this odd story in the video above.
The Texas Observer has reported that Texas lawmakers who have been staunchly against legalizing marijuana while several states including Illinois, may have accidentally legalized the substance through a legal loophole if it’s byproduct of hemp. So basically this new law has not decriminalized weed but allows it to be consumed in a very limited capacity in a specific way,
That’s because when lawmakers legalized hemp this session, they unintentionally changed the legal definition of marijuana in a way that makes possession harder to prosecute. Under the new law, which went into effect in June, cannabis with less than 0.3 percent concentration of THC, the psychoactive ingredient that gets you high, is legal hemp, while anything above that threshold is illegal marijuana. Since crime labs in the state can’t currently determine THC concentrations at the minimum threshold, the Texas District and County Attorneys Association predicted that agencies across the state would have to purchase pricey new equipment to keep charging for pot possession. “Until then, there will be no easy way to determine whether the weed your officers seized is illegal marijuana,” the association wrote in a June bulletin to its members.

MTV just released the first look into their new docu-series Ghosted: Love Gone Missing.
The show is hosted by The Bachelorette star Rachel Lindsay and artist Travis Mills, who help individuals get some closure by tracking down and confronting the people who “ghosted” them.
“Ghosting”, for those who may not know, is a common tactic used to end a relationship—typically of the romantic variety—by abruptly ignoring or cutting off all communication without explanation
What’s gotten people upset more than anything is how close this is to stalking. The hosts basically have to track down the ‘ghost’ with any lead they can find. That’s getting close to stalking and many people on twitter think so.
Could you imagine someone leaving behind a toxic relationship/friendship, healing, and then an MTV camera crew shows up in your face with that person. That would be super traumatizing for a lot of people

Yes! Let me have a major entertainment channel and all its resources to assist me in nationally exposing the person who suddenly cut off my online advances despite my texting and emailing each and every hour for six months. #Ghosted

If you’re the kind of person who tracks down someone that ghosted you, you’re the reason people feel the need to ghost to protect themselves in the first place. pic.twitter.com/XDedEThIbC

Everyone I #Ghosted was because they are toxic and were harmful to me. If @MTV gives someone I didn’t want around me , access to me, I’m fighting the cameraman and the producers. https://t.co/TyY6T3oNHO

Tracking down the person who ghosted you and forcing them to explain why — what could go wrong?
Looks like karma got back at this mugger when he tried to attack a Chicago woman.
But what he didn’t know was that this woman, Claire Quinn, was a Golden Gloves champion. Who has a 6-0 fighting record and had won the majority of her fights by knock out
When Quinn was on her way to Unanimous Boxing to meet her trainer, a teen stopped her to ask directions but then a man came up and threw her on the ground.
Her instincts kicked in quickly and she started fighting back while still on the ground. Seeing that she was unable to get a clean shot to the man’s head she went for the next best thing, the groin. It took about 15 seconds of her hitting the man in the groin multiple times for him to run off.
The slam to the ground did leave her with a mild concussion so she did have to pull out of a match she had for the weekend.
But he trainer, Trinidad Garcia, is proud of how she handled herself. Quinn is currently in Florida visiting family and getting some rest.
Unfortunately, the police don’t have anyone in custody but they do believe there were three people in the attack; the distracting teen, the attacker, and the getaway driver.
Still, she got them away in 15 seconds. Don’t mess with a champ.

Yes, it’s just takes a single tweet from a beloved alterantive band to tease a seismic planet-moving collaboration of two audible super powers. Cage the Elephant asked the world on Twitter if they want to the beloved band collaborate with the ‘Bad Guy’, Billie Eillish. Hundreds of people retweeted the tease, and just like us they want it now please!
Who wants a @CageTheElephant x @billieeilish collab?
— Cage The Elephant (@CageTheElephant) August 22, 2019
What would the combo band be called? Cage the Billie or Eillish the Elephant?

The news came out today that the next James Bond film which will be the last to star Daniel Craig in the titular role will be called ‘007: No Time to Die’. Yeah, it’s another silly spin of words involving the secret agent ass-kicker’s life that is filled action, love, danger, chaos, and death. Plenty of the reaction to the new title for the 25th film in the long running franchise has been to mock it as it seems to note Craig’s long run with the character and his age, but it will probably be fun so who really care? Mandatory has a very entertaining read off 15 alternate titles, because I am cut from the same smart ass cloth here some ideas of my own Bond adventure.
007: License to Ill (it’s a crossover musical with the Beastie Boys!)
007: Retirement Fund
007: International Man of I have had too many
