Happy Mother’s Day from The KQX Morning Crew!
To celebrate the mothers, and aunt, who raised Brian, Ali, and Justin they read special mothers day poems. But these poems had a twist, each poem was written by someone else. Which can get a bit dirty…
Hear Brian read a poem written by Justin, Ali read a poem written by Brian, and Justin reading a poem written by Ali.
Jimmy Kimmel asked people if they cared about homo sapien extinction, the responses have us worried.
Also if you didn’t know homo sapiens are humans…

Prepare to swoon with your grandma. The modern music cover collective Post-Modern Jukebox adding the dashing crooning style of Frank Sinatra to the soaring anthem ‘High Hopes’ from Panic! At The Disco. It’s a quite charming take on the song with a mostly acoustic backing,a violin solo, and something that you will have dancing with someone in the nearest kitchen.
Check out exclusive Lounge session with Panic! At The Disco here below.
Sometimes with songs you love, you don’t remember all the lyrics. Maybe you just remember specific lines of the song. Well some smart ass on Youtube took that desire to love a specific lyric in a song to a whole new demented level when he ‘remixed’ Weezer‘s classic gem ‘Say it Ain’t So’ so all the vocals are just the line ‘Wrestle with Jimmy’. It’s pretty ridiculous and quite funny to hear especially with the wrenched in auto tune.
Check out everything fun from Weezer here including their TLC cover from Coachella and much more.
“It Chapter Two” comes out in September.
Who doesn’t like free things!?
Well, the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago is offering free admission to Illinois residents next month.
From June 3-5th you can go to the museum (5700 S Lake Shore Drive, Chicago, IL 60637) and explore it for free!

On the museum’s website, it doesn’t list any other free days this summer so plan accordingly!

It seems a Twitter account called @InspectrPikachu leaked the full Pokemon movie ‘Detective Pikachu’.
The movies release date is May 10th but this was tweeted out May 7th.

The video opens up like any Warner Bros. movie would with the title card, but soon after turns into an hour and 42-minute video of Pikachu dancing.
Guys we’ve been trolled.
What’s interesting too is how Ryan Reynolds tweeted out the video to his followers, which makes you wonder if he’s behind the ‘leak’. Plus the account only had one tweet, the video, and nothing else.

What this all just a marketing scheme? Probably. The official movie twitter only responded with ‘oops’
Um…. Attn @DetPikachuMovie @warnerbros https://t.co/UF7qYtKOYV

You know darn well they would have done more than that. It’s safe to say we were trolled.
But Friday, May 10th is when it REALLY will be released, till then, enjoy the dancing.
A woman from China tried to live stream herself eating a live octopus. Instead, she just ended up screaming and crying as the octopus sucked onto her face.
Can you really feel sorry for her when the octopus was just trying to protect itself?
This is why you don’t eat food that’s alive, especially if they are that big.
Meet and greet photos with Matty Healy from The 1975 from The Lounge!
Their new album is a killer. They have a huge summer tour that comes to the sold-out Huntington Bank Pavilion in July with Beck (WIN YOUR WAY INTO THAT HERE) and now Cage the Elephant have raise the anty: they are playing for fish! Yes, Cage were on the delightfully weird Adult Swim “marine based game show” Fish Center where they performed their latest single ‘Social Cues’.
As we prepare for our own summer throw down PIQNIQ on June 15th at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheater, here is a look back at CTE goofing around backstage when they headlined the show in 2015.
This might be the best thing Kraft has done for parents since they invented Easy Mac.
Kraft just announced that they’re going to pay for your babysitter on Mother’s Day, so you can get some time to relax.
They’ll reimburse you up to $100 if you submit your receipt for the babysitter you hire on Sunday at KraftMothersDayAway.com.
There’s a catch, though: They’re only reimbursing a total of $50,000, which is only 500 moms’ worth of $100 babysitting, so send in your receipt QUICK.
(You can read the full terms and conditions here. It looks like you’re also giving them permission to use your name and submission in commercials or however else they want to use them.)

The CW officially picked up the Batwoman series, starring Ruby Rose in the title role. Batwoman is notable in that it’s the first superhero show with an LGBT main character and actress in the main role.
Tonight’s Cubs game against the Marlins has been pushed to an earlier start time of 6:35 p.m. The game was supposed to begin at 7:05, but the Cubs decided to get going sooner due to an expected wave of more crappy Chicago weather.
Gates are still set to open at 5:05.
Go Cubs.
Today Blink-182 dropped the new song ‘Blame It On My Youth’ from their upcoming album. This follows the band announcing a tour with rap giant Lil’ Wayne and upstarts Neck Deep. Oh and don’t worry Chicago, we will see them in September at RIOT FEST!
The lyrics have a lot of darker vibes recalling mistakes made in the past and their lasting impact on you as you grow past them. Matt Skiba has pretty griping lyric in this saying “”I was left on a doorstep/ I was scared to death with nowhere we go/ Cut myself on the neighbor’s fence/ That I hopped as the cops tried to take me in.”
The more I hear Skiba in Blink the more I dig it.
Tick tock.

Have you heard of Liquid Death?
Liquid Death is nothing but good old-fashioned H2O, served in a tallboy can.
The company was founded by former Netflix creative director Mike Cessario, who announced on Tuesday how he raised $1.6 million for Liquid Death. Gaining funding from Dollar Shave Club’s founder and CEO, Michael Dubin, Twitter co-founder Biz Stone, and the Away cofounder Jen Rubio.
Cessario has used his background of marketing, as well as playing in punk and heavy-metal band to coming up with Liquid Death.
He told Bussiness Insider the thought process behind selling water in a unique way:
“Initially some of our thinking was, we wanted to take more inspiration from the beer category because one thing we know in marketing is if you want younger people to want something, you have to market to people in their 20s because teens want the thing they can’t have”
“At first we knew the easiest crowd for us is anyone into heavy metal, punk rock, and that kind of world because they immediately get the joke and get the humor and have never seen anything like it. What makes this appealing for such a large group is that it feels like a niche thing.”
Their brand also holds an eco-conscious stance, knowing that Aluminum cans are more environmentally friendly than boxed or bottled water. They plan to donate $0.05 from every can sold to help clean up plastic garbage from the ocean.
Even in their ‘About Us‘ section, they state their dislike for plastic:
“We started Liquid Death with the diabolical plan to completely obliterate bottled water marketing clichés by taking the world’s healthiest beverage and making it just as funny and stupid and entertaining as the unhealthy brands across energy drinks, soda, and beer. Also, plastic water bottles are shit. But aluminum cans are far and away the most sustainable beverage container by virtually every measure. #DeathToPlastic”
You can currently buy a 12-pack of Liquid Death for $183 per can on their online store.
Murder your thirst with Liquid Death.
