Who doesn’t have a MasterClass nowadays? Penn & Teller can teach you magic, Gordon Ramsey can stop you from burning foods, and Natalie Portman can give you the tools to win an Oscar. You can literally become a magical thespian chef, if you wanted.
Now, don’t have to go scrolling Facebook and hope The Black Keys will scroll by promising you the skills to be a Grammy award-winning musician. That’s because they really aren’t doing a MasterClass. But thanks to the fine folks over at Funny or Die, we have a fine tongue-in-cheek look at Patrick and Dan’s instructional style.
The Black Keys will be at the United Center this September. Maybe you can become the expert on winning tickets for free? — [eric]

Don’t plead the filth if you’re afraid of getting….clowned.
‘Plead the Flith’ is similar to ‘Plead the Fifth’, where you get asked questions you won’t want to answer. Except in ‘Plead the Filth’, they get dark or dirty, and they come with consequences.
Last week Brian, Ali, and Justin all lost their bet and as promised they hit the streets dressed as Juggalos.
You can see how it went below
Not bad for a couple of Juggalos eh? Should the KQX Morning Crew make an appearance at this year’s Gathering? Let us know!
Seriously… let us know.
The gents of Joywave made a return stop to The Lounge for a chill musical session with fans. Check out the photos and stream now!

This past Thursday Finland held the very first Heavy Metal Knitting Competition.
The Heavy Metal Knitting Competition is a competition where heavy metal bands and knitters work together to make a live performance that synchronizes both art forms in the best way possible.
Scores are judged based on attitude, skill, audience engagement, and by “Heavyknittinghood”. The entire competition is to give homage towards Finland of being the “promised land” of Heavy Metal.
Winner of this year’s competition was a band from Japan called Giga Body Metal.
People can sign up for the competition by downloading the song “Fight Or Die” by the metal band MANIAC ABDUCTOR and submit a video of yourself or another knitting to the song.
Even when Woody Harrelson isn’t acting he’s still putting on his best performance in every way possible.
This past weekend Woody Harrelson attended the Wimbledon Tennis championship, but it isn’t the tennis matches that are making the internet go crazy, it’s the faces that Woody makes during the matches!
At one point in the match, one of the tennis players gets injured and the distraught reaction on Woody’s face is something from a horror film.
The commentators and film crew also got a kick out of Woody’s emotive reactions during the match that at one point they even stopped keeping track of the score and started counting how many times Woody got up to grab another glass of wine.
Perhaps Woody is never really acting, he is just living all the realities of all of his films at once.

It wasn’t the only thing the cameras caught Harrelson doing at Wimbledon. In fact, there was a whole Twitter page based around his actions!

Usually, when you head to 7-Eleven on 7-Eleven Day it means you get free Slurpees, but this family left with more than that.
Rachel Langford ended up giving birth on July 11th at 7-Eleven. But that’s not all, baby J’Aime Brown was born at 7:11 pm weighing 7 pounds and 11 ounces.
Seems like a huge coincidence, but she told CNN how she kept seeing the numbers 7 and 11 during her pregnancy.
Both mom and baby are doing well!
No way anyone will forget her birth story.

If you’ve ever wanted to feel what it’s like to perform to 72,000 people, Matt Bellamy of Muse gave you a pretty damn good idea on his Instagram. He had a helmet cam pointed right at the audience as he emerged with the Power Glove for the band’s second night in Paris. The resulting video is pretty amazing. As Matt put it, “epic.” — [eric]

For the single “World’s On Fire” on his latest solo album, Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda dipped into the world of anime for a little artistic flair. And he dropped into the Crunchyroll Q&A at Anime Expo 2019 to drop a sneak peak of the video. Here’s what we learned from his chat:
And here is the sneak peak the convention got to see. And for the entire chat at the Crunchyroll industry panel, click on the video following this. — [eric]

This is the greatest festival t shirt of all things that are so Chicago, we put them on a t-shirt. What do you think of…
Posted by 101 WKQX on Friday, July 12, 2019
So we are a bunch of smart asses in Chicago, a town with a deep sense of humor where we are always down to make fun of the many characters that exist here. Enter the ‘Chicago Festival’ shirt we put up for sale yesterday on our merch shop Aisle101.com. This mock lineup of ‘bands’ which are just a several local legends and silly things we all know about our city in the tribute font to Lollapalooza. Well, the response to this has been huge. It basically became a meme flag for everyone to wave around like it’s ’19 9tree and da Bulls tree-peated!
The first shipment of the shirt has sold-out! This has to be the fastest selling item we have sold since we started Aisle101 late last year, so we are so pumped that you want to run with the joke on your back. Do not worry you can still place orders as we have another shipment coming. Get your orders in before they are gone!
And just like every time a festival line up comes out, there is furious debate over ‘bands’ that people wanted to see. Now we have people saying how come you didn’t include the jingle for Empire carpet?!
I’m sorry but you’re not from Chicago if you don’t recognize these words 😂 my personal favorite? The Luna number 😂 https://t.co/HGydAAlGTy

This is the greatest Tshirt in the history of all Tshirts. I need 10 of them!
Btw, I apparently can't read so if you saw my previous angry retweets about Michael Jordan and #dabulls sorry about that. https://t.co/W95C7WrZWN— Heather (@Heatherandahalf) July 13, 2019
You know you’re from Chicago is you have a memory that relates to every word on this.
Absolutely amazing. Buying one for sure. https://t.co/gfcPnmVeeT
