Casey Neistat made Youtube gold again today in a sponsored video, where the thrill-seeking vlogger hitched a gravity-defying ride on his snowboard across a powder-white winter landscape connected to a powerful drone. It makes for some beautiful images, seeing Neistat flying above the ground at some points, making an amazing holiday moment to go viral across the tubes of the web. The soundtrack of ODB and Bing Crosby oddly blend well together with the man-in-the-cold-air visuals.

Neistat with his massive online following, are set to leave YouTube for CNN, who purchased his social media video app Beme in a new partnership. TechCrunch has more on that whole story here. 

Tonight Show’s Quest Love Drums High On Instagram Live After Wisdom Tooth Removal

December 20, 2016 | Marconi🍕

Tonight Show / Roots drummer, Quest Love took to Instagram Live immediately after leaving the dentist from a routine wisdom tooth extraction. Went to the Tonight Show studios and started warming up. At first he was having trouble maintaining a break beat. Then he said, “I’m going to play Herbie Hancock’s – Actual Proof to get my mind right”. (not an easy song to play when you’re not on dental drugs) It was beautiful. And the less than 300 people watching got a cool mini show of his amazing skills. Quest Love undoubtedly one of the best drummers out there has always been involved with social media, and today I think he won IG LIVE!! Follow him if you don’t already. He’s awesome!! instagram.com/questlove

Joe Buck hints at Retirement

December 19, 2016 | <3 Lauren

Weird how Lou is out “sick” with “food poisoning” today…

I think he heard the news that his arch nemesis Joe Buck is talking about retiring and celebrated himself “sick.”

15 Restaurants for Delicious Mac and Cheese in Chicago, Mapped

December 19, 2016 | Marconi🍕

macncheesemap(from chicago.eater.com)

The deep freeze has set in and one of the best ways to cure the winter blues is with a comforting bowl of mac and cheese. This simple yet indulgent classic American dish comes in many forms—from home-style recipes that evoke memories of childhood comfort to creative offerings made with the finest ingredients—and you’ll find them scattered all around Chicago. Hats and gloves are necessities in winter, but a cheesy blanket of goodness definitely isn’t far behind.

As is to be expected, several barbecue restaurants are highlighted on this list because they show their meats and sides equal amounts of love. Other places, like Kuma’s Corner and Hot Chocolate, have long been renowned for their prowess with cheese and noodles and will never let you down. So put down that Kraft box and check out the map below to find the best spots for some tantalizing (and powder-free) mac and cheeses.

Bub City gets my vote. Topped with pork or spicy chipotle-brisket. Kuma’s is a close second with the most creative specialty mac. PIZZA MAC-N-CHEESE!!
