83-year-old Patrick Jiron and his 80-year-old wife Barbara were pulled in York, Nebraska.
When officers said they smelled marijuana, the couple admitted they had some.
That’s when deputies found 60 POUNDS of pot along with several containers of concentrated THC.
The couple said they planned to “distribute the marijuana to family and friends as Christmas gifts.” More HERE.

Remember all the excitement building up to Christmas as a kid? Part of the hype came from cartoons simply adding the over-the-top sizzle on the candy cane train. And cartoons had a different special air to them back in the day when we caught them on Saturday mornings. Check out Christmas Flashbacks this week on 101WKQX.
Still some of those ‘toons in retrospect don’t age as well insert this ridiculous episode of the 80’s action adaption of RAMBO. Yes, Sylvester Stallone’s unhinged war hero who blew up almost everything in the R-rated ass-kicking films like ‘First Blood’ and ‘Rambo: First Blood Part II’ for some reason got a kids animated show with a ‘Force of Freedom’ tWayline. Just imagine John Whick getting a cartoon now where he’s snapping people’s arms like twigs that has commercials for Hacthimals? Yes, it was like that.
So who better than to save a ‘Santa Claus’ from an international terrorist organization that just has to have an aggressive abbreviation S.A.V.A.G.E? Get on the phone and get me RAMBO! Yes, it may be snowy outside but these orphans need Christmas and it’s going to take Rambo jumping on planes, snowmobile chases, and several moments with a knife that make you say ‘really?’
Rambo is just there at the start of the episode for no apparent reason, and the ‘Santa’ here is a former rocket scientist who no longer wants to make weapons but rather toys so why not dress up like Santa and giving the kiddies toys at Christmas. Also be aware when Rambo takes off his shirt to show off his chizzled pecs that’s when it gets even crazier. Check it out above.
Youtube dude Skunkape digs into the episode and breaks it down.
Mayweather (50-0, 27 KOs) is a few months removed from a blockbuster boxing match against McGregor, UFC’s biggest star. The ‘Money’ won the fight via TKO in the 10th round, and promised it was his last fight despite the lure of even more millions that could wait in any future boxing main events. Now comes news today the mega-fighter could be flirting with Mixed Martial Arts and a fight with the UFC.
Still as ESPN reports, the chance of Mayweather going into the UFC Octagon in a completely new combat sport are unlikely but it seems somewhat legit as the news broken by UFC boss Dana White himself. This year’s McGregor vs Mayweather super-fight seemed like it was too hard to believe, so why should we be surprised to see this?
Check out this Christmas display which is synced to an dubstep Star Wars track. Complete with moving lights on top of the house. My problem, I’m not sure what this has to do with Christmas.
Question: Have Xmas displays jumped the shark? -wALT

Brothers and former Oasis bandmates Noel and Liam Gallagher both released solo albums this past fall, which means both had many chances to talk trash about each other on Twitter and in the press, something they’ve always been delighted to do. But now it looks like the two of them have made up, which means there’s some chance at an Oasis reunion — or at least a slightly-less-uncomfortable family Christmas — in the coming days. (MORE HERE)

Disney added a new robot of Donald Trump to it’s long-running animatronic presentation the Hall of Presidents, except the current President’s robot counterpart is reminding more people of his 2016 Presidential campaign opponent Hillary Clinton. Videos and pics of the Trumpdroid have surfaced online this week from the Disney World th
Some are speculating this Trump-bot was originally made to resemble Clinton but has be retrofitted to look like Trump with mixed results. Trump supporters online have posted their support, but some point out how his tie should be red instead of blue. Other Trump supporters have expressed surprise the 45th President is even represented in the exhibit.
Now we can just expect a great sketch on Saturday Night Live with Alec Baldwin playing Trump fighting the robot version of himself right?
Here me out on this. Clearly Disney had Hilary's robot ready to go and then they had to try and make it look like Trump. Don't hate me. This is just a necessary and painful fact we all need to deal with. pic.twitter.com/biSirfwE59

Others online have speculated the robot likeness Donnie is more reminiscent of veteran film actor Jon Voight.

Dave Grohl made an appearance as a wolf man in a Saturday Night Live sketch that was cut for time this past weekend, when Foo Fighters served as musical guest.
In the “New Year’s Kiss” digital short, Beck Bennett plays a guy trying to meet up with his friends before the clock strikes midnight on 2017. Bennett’s increasingly bizarre quest leads him to the Lotus Lounge to the VIP section to the New York sewers to an endless white void where the doorman is an ax-wielding, “weird, wolf-looking guard guy by the name Crystal,” played by Grohl.
Bennett then whispers an unspeakable secret into Grohl’s ear to gain admittance into the venue. “That was very brave of you to share,” Grohl’s wolf man whispers back. “Happy New Year’s.” However, Bennett’s friends have already left the bar.
“Hmmm…someone looks familiar in this bit,” Foo Fighters tweeted of the digital short. (MORE HERE)

NBC is reportedly planning to revive The Office, according to TVLine. Steve Carell will not be returning as Michael Scott, but the new series would involve a mix of old and new characters, all working at the Scranton, PA branch of everybody’s favorite paper company.
This plan no doubt comes as a result of the success of Will & Grace, which recently returned from the dead and came back to NBC after more than 10 years off the air. The Office ended in 2013 after nine seasons, with most of the original cast still in tact aside from Carell. (MORE HERE)

An alleged victim of former Silicon Valley star T.J. Miller is coming forward with accusations that Miller hit and sexually assaulted her while in college.
The accusations were eventually addressed by a student court at George Washington University and have been buzzed about in Hollywood and stand-up circles for years.
“He just tried a lot of things without asking me, and at no point asked me if I was all right,” the woman told The Daily Beast. “He choke[d] me, and I kept staring at his face hoping he would see that I was afraid and [that he] would stop… I couldn’t say anything.”
Miller’s alleged victim, who asked to remain anonymous, said she is coming forward now in part because of the societal awakening to issues of sexual assault and harassment that has come in the aftermath of misconduct allegations that have rocked the entertainment industry. The Daily Beast is withholding her identity because of her fears of retribution. But for the purposes of this piece, we will call her Sarah. (MORE HERE)

The owner of the Windy Kitty Cat Cafe and Lounge admitted to a little stage fright last week, as she prepared to open her new Bucktown business which officially debuts to the public on Monday at 1760 W. North Avenue. That doesn’t make a Jennifer Tiner a fraidy-cat, but she had a few jitters as she needed to find a new cat supplier when the original shelter pulled out at the last second.
“I felt like I was opening a restaurant without food,” Tiner said.
Windy Kitty quickly rebounded, coming terms to an agreement with Chicago Animal Care and Control. The group will provide the 12 to 15 cats visitors will see roaming around the space. They’ll have to go through animal care to adopt any animals, but Tiner is happy to provide a place to relax and learn. She also sees Windy Kitty as potentially popular with private events — imagine snapping an adorable photo of young children playing with cats and posting the shot onto Instagram. (MORE HERE)
