Reminder: Jack White will be rolling through the 15th anniversary of Riot Fest this year with The Raconteurs. And three day passes are going fast. But I wonder what he would think about this take on his other band’s most famous song? — [eric]

An app now exists where you can fake a Facetime call with a famous person like Post Malone or Billie Eilish. Why have real friends when you can have fake famous friends with video to convince others? It’s called Flextime.
Marketing agency MSCHF is believed to have possibly developed this as a stunt, and strategist Daniel Greenberg told The Verge why it’s catching on.
“Millennials are all about texting,” Greenberg said of the generation and their smartphone habits. “Everyone my age and younger is always FaceTiming. I have gone to many a bar in Brooklyn and pretended that I was talking to Post Malone and so people have believed it.”
Flextime is out now as a browser version for anybody to use, but you can not share anything directly. A mobile version is out through a thid-party app called Monkey where you can share the recordings directly to Instagram or Twitter.
Well, this might make you feel older. The year is 1999. Woodstock that year was a fire-wrecked mud-filled disaster. Pokemon turned over recess every where, and three dudes from southern California called Blink-182 hit it big with their irreverent mix of punk and alternative with their breakthrough album ‘Enema of the State’/ And fans who grew up with the power trio of pop punk have feelings about this albums as it turns 20 years old this week.

Not enough Blink for ya? Here is AR-TV’s look at the Top 10 Blink-182 songs.
Consequence of Sound is reporting today that Apple is shutting down iTunes, it’s portal for music, TV shows, movies, and podcasts which innovated the distribution of media when it started in 2001.
The move by the tech giant is based on multiple factors, Apps for Music, TV, and Podcasts are already on iPhones and iPads; Mac and MacBook users will now have access to them. Apple has also expanded into putting out content itself and it’s own video streaming service with exclusive shows. With the diversification of all the different content on iTunes and it’s own content distribution efforts, it seems like the company felt like launching apps for each individual feed was a better way to go.
Apple will announce a new line of apps for your content needs on Monday at it’s developers conference.
Local Natives’ visit to The Lounge!

Every city has its own special culinary thing right. Chicago has Vienna Beef hot dogs, Cincinnati has Skyline Chili, St. Louis has…. well just a bunch of stuff that doesn’t make any sense, and of course Philidelphia has the world famous Philly Cheesesteak. It is a simple creation, yet the joy it brings to the soul is more complex than string theory. The good people of Philadelphia have worked so hard to share their beautiful creation with the people of the world and in return, someone decided to go and ruin it for everyone. What I’m referring to of course is the cheesesteak cheesecake.

I think @holliballer on twitter summed up exactly how everyone feels about it
This should be a felony

There is so much wrong with this cheesecake. First off, cheesecake is suspect at best. Second, YOU DO NOT PUT PEPPERS ON A CHEESESTEAK.
I think we all need to take a step back and just reconsider what we’re doing with our lives.
She’s not really in it, but she is in the parody!
Have you ever taken a look at Facebook Market place?
You’ll find a lot of clothing, furniture, or household items, but if you’re in San Antonio Texas you could find yourself a pair of implants!
Tammie is selling her slightly used, size D, implants. They don’t come with the procedure but $200 doesn’t seem too bad for just the pair of boobs.
Think you’d purchase something like this through Facebook? I mean she did say it comes from a “smoke 💨 free … Clean 🧽 House 🏡.”

Arnold Schwarzenegger- actor, filmmaker, businessman, author, philanthropist, activist, politician, and former professional bodybuilder and powerlifter, and now… a rapper!
A woman recently wrote into the popular Ask Amy column in the Chicago Tribune about a very personal problem. She started dating her dead boyfriend’s 21-year old son. Here’s where it gets weird, while she is not related to the 21-year old son, she IS the mother of 2 kids from the deceased boyfriend!
So here’s some background. The woman and the boyfriend had been together for 25 years. They had a son and a daughter together, but the boyfriend also cheated on her which resulted in the 21-year old son in question. She had no idea that this kid existed until he was 15 years old!
Well, five months ago the boyfriend died and now she’s decided to shack up with his SON. She justifies it as an ok thing because she isn’t his mother and they are 2 consenting adults. Her children, on the other hand, have disowned her and have called the relationship disgusting.
Ask Amy agreed with the woman’s kids who said, “Your choice to engage in a sexual relationship with [your children’s] half-brother a mere five months after their father’s death is disgusting, a poor decision, and inappropriate.”
This seems a little too close to a GOT scenario. One thing is for sure… She really needs to come on the KQX Morning Crews Relationship Court.
If you have a situation like this or another relationship situation that you could use some help with, call the Relationship Court Hotline: (312) 373-0257.
Wednesday nights game between the Chicago Cubs and the Huston Astros had an intense moment when a foul ball hit a child, sending her to the hospital.
Cubs outfielder Albert Almora Jr. hit a line drive in the fourth inning into the field-level stands down the third base line, where it ended up hitting the girl. He reacted instantly to seeing her get hit and got very emotional over the incident.
Awful scene in the Cubs/Astros game. A small kid was struck with the baseball in the stands. Almora Jr’s reaction says it all. Prayers up. pic.twitter.com/fLAdwlsAVi

He eventually ran over to a security officer near where the ball went to check out the condition of the girl, where he became emotional and hugged the officer.
The game broadcast showed Almora speaking with a security officer at Minute Maid Park between innings. Still no update on the person hit by his line drive earlier in the Cubs’ game with the Astros. pic.twitter.com/44IbMboxhD

Later, Reddit user matts290 wrote an update on the child’s situation:
“She is going be OK according to my mom. She was 4 rows away and just talked to security guard who said they are taking her to hospital for precautionary reasons but early signs are good.
Edit: Little girl is 4. She is talking and awake. Security let Almora know too and he was emotional and thankful.
Edit 2: the Almora hug with female security guard was one of joy but very emotional. That female security guard is who gave my mom the update. She is 2nd row on the 3rd baseline.
Edit 3: Because it’s the internet, here is a pic my mom took of the hug Almora gave after security told him girl was OK.”
New developments happened Wednesday night within the Illinois Senate, they voted and approved a bill to legalize marijuana.
The bill would allow adults 21 and older to consume, possess and purchase certain amounts of cannabis for personal use, and seeks to create a legally regulated system of marijuana production and sales.
.@SenatorSteans and Sen. @ToiHutchinson have done tremendous work to reach this point, and I encourage the House to take decisive action to make Illinois a national leader in equity and criminal justice reform.
— Governor JB Pritzker (@GovPritzker) May 30, 2019
The Senate passed the bill in a 38 to 17 vote, sending it to the House.
You can see a video of the Illinois Senate committee presenting arguments and deciding the future of legal marijuana:
Along with a video of the committee voting on the bill to legalize recreational marijuana in the state:
If it does go through, the state’s legal marijuana program would take effect on January 1, 2020.
